Chapter 189: The Punished Severin

Severin was stunned. “Teacher… am I… related to that White Wizard, Locke Augustine? I will handle this matter. If necessary, I can even infiltrate Lilith’s cabin and kill the White Wizard myself to restore my lost reputation and earn you the respect of your peers.”

The next moment, Rashid Talil slapped Severin in the face again, not leaving her any face in front of her younger classmates.

“Idiot, let me tell you. This is something you should know. Didn’t you learn this most basic knowledge in the introductory course on curses?”

Rashid Talil practically roared in anger. “Magic plants are most prone to plant essence mutation.”

“The blood factors in magical creatures, even in the summoning school’s beast taming magic sub-direction, and the magical creature blood transformation direction of the spell school, are still unlikely to mutate on a large scale.”

“The bloodline factors of magical creatures are naturally more stable than the plant essence factors of magical plants, and have a lower tolerance for error. However, the plant essence factors of magical plants are extremely prone to mutation during mating, resulting in [polyploidy].”

“Furthermore, Magic Plants can be propagated asexually by breeders using cuttings. Even if a Magic Plant is unable to produce offspring naturally due to mutations in its plant essence, it can still be propagated asexually using cuttings.”

“So, it’s okay to curse magical creatures, but you absolutely cannot curse magical plants. Otherwise, those damned breeders might find magical plants that are adapted to our curse, or even something worse.”

“Because the mutation potential of magical plants far exceeds that of magical creatures!”

Rashid Talil looked at Sevrin, who was beginning to feel a sense of fear, with a cold gaze and said, “This should be the foundation of the foundation.”

“I should have told you once, during your first week at school.”

Severin explained in a low voice: “But…Teacher, you only said it once, and that was many years ago. This…”

Rashid Talil’s eyes grew even colder. “That’s no excuse, Sevrin. I’m very angry and very disappointed with you.”

“You’ve made me lose face in front of my peers.”

“Especially in front of Hussein’s wizard mentor, Lady Victoria.”

Rashid Talil said coldly, “Because of your foolish actions, the demonic plant curse you created has linked all the curses commonly used by our Blood Curse Court from the first-class wizard apprentice stage to the second-class wizard apprentice stage to demonic plants. As a result, according to my intelligence, a potion that can widely dispel curses has appeared in Lilith’s hut.”

“That potion is even very basic. An ordinary potion master’s assistant, with a little learning, can brew about ten bottles a day. One bottle is enough to deal with most of the curses we have here.”

“The Elders Council even suspects that using that basic-level potion could even offer some resilience to our blood curse. If that were the case, it would significantly alter our advantage.”

“Severin, do you know the extent of the disaster your demonic plant curse has caused?” Rashid Talil ordered, “Immediately halt all research related to the demonic plant curse and destroy all data.”

“In the meantime, you must await the Blood Curse Tribunal’s Elders Council’s decision on your punishment. While the decision is being released, you cannot leave this Curse Ritual Research Institute.”

Severin immediately requested, “Teacher, can you help me get it?”

“It was just an experiment that went haywire.”

“Please help me fight for it again. I will always remember your investment in me, and I will repay you after I become a formal wizard. Teacher, I know how stupid I am, please help me…”

Rashid Talil said coldly, “I have invested a lot in you. If I can help you, I will definitely do so. But this matter has already attracted the attention of the Elders of the Blood Curse Tribunal.”

“It’s hard to say how much I can gain.”

“I’ve been helping the Blood Curse Court lately, researching a blood curse that has immense lethality to wizard apprentices. You should stay in this curse ritual research institute and help me with the experiments. Don’t go anywhere else for the time being.”

Severin was slightly stunned, because before this, even the Blood Curse Court had a certain tacit understanding with Lilith’s Cottage.

That is, the apprentice level and the mentor level are separate. The wizard mentor tries not to interfere in the affairs between the apprentices, and the apprentices do not need to be affected by the wizard mentor level.

The reason for this tacit understanding is that both parties want to preserve their own wizard seeds as much as possible to prevent large-scale deaths in the next generation, which would lead to a lack of successors in the next fifty years.

But obviously, the Blood Curse Court no longer intends to abide by this tacit understanding, and even wants to use this time difference to make a huge profit from Lilith’s cottage.

Rashid Talil said, “You’re unlucky. Normally, even if you create a curse on the demonic plant, as long as we give us enough time, we can quickly recover the cursed demonic plant and prevent the situation from getting out of control.”

“But one of their apprentices was lucky enough to break your demonic plant curse in less than two months.”

“Before we even noticed it, the impact of this incident became serious.”

Rashid Talil turned and left without even glancing at the other second-class wizard apprentices in the room.

After Rashid Talil walked out of the room, Severin clenched her fists, bit her lips, and blood flowed.

“Damn it, things have actually developed to this point.”

“It was just a simple experiment that went out of control. How could it become so complicated?” Severin said unwillingly, “Didn’t they also break Hussein’s blood curse?”

“I just developed a curse against the demonic plants! Now I can’t leave this curse ritual research institute for the time being. No, I have to think of a way, otherwise I’m dead.”

Severin clenched her fists, her eyes revealing frustration and deep hatred. “A mere Potions Master’s Assistant, yet you’ve caused me so much pain? You truly deserve to die. He’s just a weak first-class wizard apprentice. In a head-on battle, I could crush him to death with my own hands.”

“For the time being, I am confined to this curse ritual research institute.”

“The Elders’ Council, I don’t know how they will punish me.”

In the room, several second-class wizard apprentices secretly looked at each other. They communicated silently with their eyes, and no matter who they were, they understood each other’s eyes.

That was the senior student Severin they were following, and she seemed to be dying.

If they don’t want to be destroyed, they have to change their master.

Under the wizard mentor Rashid Talil, there are some first-class wizard apprentices. If they want to get protection and leave Severin safely, they must first get the protection of those first-class wizard apprentices.

Under this slavery system, if a slave wanted to escape from one slave owner, he had to first seek refuge with another slave owner.

And loyalty, in this dark wizard society, is the most hypocritical thing.
