Chapter 223

Chapter 223 Heading to the Heart of the Blood Curse Court

Locke spent two thousand magic stones and secretly bought 28 bottles of potions from their shop, and then left the Owl Cauldron shop.

Then, in the evening, Locke secretly went to a port in the port city of Lilith’s cottage as agreed.

It was a small port among the many ports in the port city, an offshore port. Outside the southeast corner, it was not the territory of the endless mysterious sea as long as you went out to sea.

It is relatively safe in the offshore area.

Even though there are some ferocious aquatic magical creatures, the harm they cause is not very great.

But once you leave the coastal area, the situation changes completely.

The Endless Mysterious Sea is an ocean where even official wizards have to be cautious and there are certain areas that they absolutely cannot go to.

That was no ordinary ocean. It was bottomless, like the abyss beneath the surface, hiding countless mysteries.

It is said that even ancient marine creatures that have long disappeared may appear in the endless mysterious sea if they are unlucky.

Even a wizard ship operated by a formal wizard may be destroyed by a suddenly appearing sea monster or an ancient dragon king.

Or perhaps, while driving down the road, they encountered a massive ocean whirlpool the size of a continent. A geological disaster of that magnitude would be enough to kill most wizards.

That is a completely different area from the safe land.

The endless mysterious sea seems to connect different time, space and dimensions.

Locke had seen some records about someone who went out to sea for three years and accidentally entered a strange plane. When he came back, he found out that hundreds of years had passed in the main material plane.

But offshore, it’s just ordinary ocean and very safe.

The ship that Locke came to in the small port was the one that the wealthy mortals in the port city of Lilith’s cottage would take to travel.

He deliberately took off his wizard robe, placed all the magic plants into the astral ring, and put on a set of medieval noble clothing.

A tight-fitting top, a pair of purple-dyed leggings, and a cloak with a semicircular silver-trimmed edge make Locke, who has been transformed by the blood of ancient creatures and has a perfect figure, look like a handsome and elegant elf ranger.

When Locke arrived at the small port, Witch Sophia, two first-class wizard apprentices, and a female first-ring wizard whom Locke had never seen before were already there.

At this time, they all disguised themselves and hid their magic pressure, as if they were just a group of ordinary nobles.

Locke knew that according to the plan, they would disguise themselves as a group of ordinary mortal nobles and pretend that they were smuggling a batch of goods into the mortal realm of the Blood Curse Court.

This is very reasonable, because the level of civilization in the mortal world of the Blood Curse Court has not kept up with the level of civilization in the mortal world of the White Wizard Land, so there are often mortal nobles who travel thousands of miles and risk all kinds of dangers to transport goods from here over.

The area under the jurisdiction of the Blood Curse Court is too large, so there is no way to restrict the flow of such goods.

When the group saw Locke arrive, they all started moving. Seeing Locke’s attire, Witch Sophia smiled slightly. “Locke, you’re exaggerating. You’ve never been on a covert operation before, have you?”

Locke said, “Teacher, what’s wrong?”

“This is the image I’m pretending to be. Doesn’t it look like a mortal noble? Before coming here, I specifically looked up the common clothing of mortal nobles in the world of Lilith’s Hut…”

Witch Sophia and another official witch, Bena Gabriel, looked at each other, and then Witch Sophia smiled and said, “It’s not a matter of clothing, but temperament.”

Witch Sophia raised her index finger and shook it, “Your temperament is really outstanding.”

“No ordinary mortal noble would be like you.”

“Even if you are thrown into a group of mediocre people, everyone will focus on you first.”

Witch Sophia handed Locke a bottle of potion, “But don’t worry, this is the Thousand Faces Potion.”

Locke looked down and saw that Witch Sophia gave her a gourd-shaped glass potion bottle filled with purple potion.

This was the first time Locke got a first-level potion, which was a real magic potion.

But I didn’t expect it to be in this form. And it’s a functional potion.

Locke’s expression changed slightly. “Teacher, this is too expensive. With my magic level, how can I use a first-level potion?”

Witch Sophia disagreed. “After taking the Thousand Faces Potion, you will gain abilities similar to those of shapeshifters from the Transfiguration School for a month. This will allow you to rapidly change your appearance, temperament, and soul aura within the next month.”

“In fact, I will give a bottle of Thousand Faces Potion to all participants of this operation for free. This is a potion I brewed myself, and it is not expensive.”

Witch Sophia’s expression turned serious. “The difficulty of this operation is to kill one of the enemy’s official wizards in the enemy’s rear.”

“So we can’t attract any attention. The Thousand Faces Potion is essential. It’s needed whether we’re sneaking in or escaping.”

“Without this level of potion, you will easily be discovered by the enemy’s Curse Patrol. Once discovered, the enemy’s wizard army will surround us.”

“At that time we had no choice but to retreat.”

Locke nodded. “I know, teacher.”

He opened his mouth and drank it in one gulp.

The medicinal properties of the Thousand Faces Potion were very mild. He only felt that countless magical energies were quietly merging into his bloodline factors.

This allowed him to temporarily gain a very powerful passive bloodline spell that did not require him to consume much mana.

This spell is even a first-level transfiguration spell.

“This is like a first-level Face Transfiguration experience card,” Locke pondered. “First-level potions are truly magical.”

“Those shapeshifters who take the Thousand Faces Potion even once will gain insights that will allow them to make significant progress in Transfiguration. Even though we laymen don’t understand Transfiguration, we can still gain a month’s worth of Transfiguration experience out of thin air.”

“Also, the magical energy required for transformation is all paid for by the potion, so you don’t have to pay for it yourself.”

Witch Sophia smiled and said to the official wizard Bena Gabriel beside her, “Well, my student is quite interesting, isn’t he?”

Bena Gabriel smiled. “His personality is quite compatible with yours.”

Witch Sophia looked at Bena Gabriel with interest, “Bena, how about you make a prophecy for my student? What will his future be like?”

Witch Gabriel waved her hands quickly. “That won’t do. If I predict the future for others, I’ll suffer severe backlash. The fee will be tens of thousands of magic stones.”

“I can’t work for you for free.”

Witch Sophia jokingly said, “He’s just a wizard apprentice, how much backlash can he cause?”

Witch Gabriel, with her white hair, delicate features, and no eyebrows, turned serious. “It’s not about magic level.”

“The magic of the prophecy school is the most complex.”

“If your student has great potential for the future, then the backlash he will cause me will also be great. If he has a high chance of becoming a formal wizard in the future, then the backlash I will cause him during his apprenticeship will be much greater than if I predict for an ordinary formal wizard.”

Witch Gabriel said, “Unless he’s asking me some trivial matters.”

“But I see, Sophia, that’s not what you mean.”

Witch Sophia had no choice but to give up, “Locke, let me introduce you, this is Witch Bena Gabriel.”

“She is also a student of Madam Morgana.”

“Madam Morgana has done some research on the magic of the Prophecy School. Witch Gabriel is one of the most powerful senior prophets in our school.”

Witch Sophia pointed to the two first-class wizard apprentices beside her and said, “This is my friend, Albert, and he is also the wizard seed of the Potions Department of this generation in Lilith’s cottage.”

“This is also my friend, Captain Andy Leighton of the combat team. He’s a full-time Incinerator. Incinerators are a general term for wizards who specialize in the fire magic sub-category of the Evocation School and specialize in learning how to burn their enemies to death.”
