Chapter 230 Silent Lady Morgana

The next moment, Locke heard a clear sound of footsteps outside the door. The other party seemed very panicked and wanted to escape immediately.

But the next moment, the opponent was directly caught by Locke’s Omen Mandrake Vine using the Green Cleanse Grab.

Green Wipe is a 0.3-level spell, ridiculously weak, so it can be used at will without worrying about being detected by the Wall of the Faithless.

Locke’s magic power itself is a certain distance away from the detection priority range of the Wall of Faithless. Moreover, there are many dark wizard apprentices in this place, and a little magical fluctuation will not attract anyone’s attention.

Locke’s ominous Mandrake vines can be invisible and sense hostility. Therefore, when he discovered that someone was following the dark wizard Nils, he immediately sensed the other party’s existence and position, and used the invisibility ability of the magic vines to secretly trap the other party.

The opponent is a first-class wizard apprentice with 200 mana, while Locke’s current mana is 505. He has also taken the Heart of the Giant Tree potion, which has increased the power of all magical plants by 10% because they are irradiated by the energy of the Talmud tree man.

Under such circumstances, the opponent had no ability to resist at all, and was actually locked up and captured by himself using three Ominous Mandrake Vines.

Nils looked at the person Locke had brought in in shock. “Quintus, is that you? Why are you following me so stealthily?”

Niels reacted instantly and looked at Quintus, who was being controlled by Locke’s magic vines. He said, “You’ve been following me? Why? What do you know?”

Quintus wanted to resist and chant a spell to escape, but the next moment, Locke sprinkled a handful of iron wire grass seeds on him and used 0.5 rings of wild grass to wrap around him and completely seal him.

This is also to prevent this first-class wizard apprentice from escaping and directly send back information.

The entire process, from the initial sneak attack to the plant magic seal, was extremely neat and smooth.

Albert and Andy were both a little surprised. Although the other party was only a newly promoted first-class wizard apprentice with a mana of 200, Locke was also a first-class wizard apprentice who was promoted this year.

As a result, the gap between the two sides was so huge that the first-class wizard apprentice, the dark wizard, had almost no ability to resist Locke.

Albert looked at Locke thoughtfully. “Perhaps Locke is not just a possibility of becoming the next pillar of Lilith’s Hut, but he is bound to become the next pillar of Lilith’s Hut?”

‘Does he possess the same gift as Sophia the Witch?’

Albert stepped forward and took out a bottle of truth serum from his astral ring. “Nils, you don’t need to ask him.”

“Come, open your mouth and drink. This is my enhanced version of a special truth serum made with my own personal formula. If you drink even a drop, you’ll confess all those unspeakable fantasies of your teenage years.”

“I don’t think it’s anything serious. This guy must have been following you for personal reasons, and he just happened to run into you.”

Albert pinched Quintus’ chin and said, “Relax a little, don’t resist. If I accidentally pour half a bottle too much, your brain will be turned into an idiot by my special truth serum. You don’t want to become an idiot for the rest of your life, do you?”

After hearing this, Quintus really didn’t dare to resist. He widened his eyes and drank one-sixth of the bottle of truth serum that Albert fed him.

Quintus burped and a pink bubble came out of his mouth. Then his eyes began to become confused, and then he told the truth about how he was following Nils.

It turned out that he had always been dissatisfied with Nils’s high position in the city-state of Corinth, the fact that he had access to far more magical resources than him and was always one step ahead of him in everything.

He had always wondered why Nils could obtain magical resources so easily, so he began to secretly keep an eye on Nils. Sure enough, he discovered that Nils had been transmitting news about the Blood Curse Court to the outside world, and was even investigating the Curse Spell Research Institute and special projects.

At this time, he can choose to report to the Blood Curse Court, or investigate and collect evidence privately to gain greater credit.

He chose to investigate privately, hoping to gain more credit, and therefore has not reported it to anyone.

As a result, he happened to run into two official wizards, which scared him to death.

Then, before he could escape, he was discovered by the witch Gabriel and caught in a trap set by Locke.

Witch Sophia nodded in satisfaction. “That means this guy hasn’t told anyone about Nils’s unusual behavior. Luckily, he had selfish motives, otherwise our plans would have been ruined by such an insignificant person.”

Andy, the Incinerator, sneered. “These dark wizards all have this kind of personality.”

“That’s why I said that dark wizards are unreliable.”

“Kill this dark wizard named Quintus.”

Andy glanced at Nils vaguely, and Nils was so scared that he hid behind the witch Sophia, not daring to look him in the eye.

Andy was serious but close to Albert and Locke, but when it came to Nils, he acted as if he could hardly control his desire to kill him.

Morgana’s voice came to Andy’s ears. “Andy, don’t kill him. I have no objection to you killing a dark wizard without a magic pressure structure, but if you kill a first-class wizard apprentice dark wizard, his soul will already have a magic pressure structure.”

“The moment he dies, the demonic pressure will rapidly decline, which the Wall of the Faithless can detect. This is a very obvious abnormality. Therefore, it is absolutely not allowed.”

“The probability of this being detected is 100 percent. Don’t sabotage Sophia’s mission.”

Andy then gave up and extinguished the flame in his hand.

Albert gave the dark wizard apprentice three bottles of sleepyhead potion. This potion can make wizard apprentices with magic power below 300 fall into a coma, and the coma can last for a very long time, at least one month.

Albert threw him to Niels. “That’s settled.”

He looked at Locke and said, “My specialty is status-changing potions. I’m good at both buffing and debuffing. So, I’m not good at removing curses, and that’s why I’ve never been to your Healing Hands clinic.”

Witch Gabriel looked at Locke and said, “You see, this little bug’s speed is only slightly slower than mine.”

“And you fought back so quickly that even Andy and Albert didn’t notice. It seems like it’s because the magic vines in your hands are special?”

Locke saw that this was pointed out by a witch from the prophecy school like Gabriel Witch, so he had to explain: “Well, it’s because the Ominous Mandrake Vine in my hand has the ability to be invisible and sense the enemy’s malice.”

“This ability to sense the direction of malicious intent isn’t prophetic magic; it’s more akin to psychic magic… but it’s a special magical ability possessed by the plant’s natural magical power.”

Witch Sophia looked at Locke in surprise, “Locke, you never mentioned this to me.”

“If that’s the case, why are the magic vines you sell Super Mandrake vines instead of this kind of magic vine?”

Locke thought for a moment, then sheepishly told the truth. “I’m planning to upgrade the version slowly.”

“Sell the Super Mandrake Vine once, then sell the Invisible Mandrake Vine, then sell the Ominous Mandrake Vine. This way you’ll make money three times.”

“If I sell the best version right away, I’m effectively reducing the amount of money I could have made from two updates.”

Witch Sophia fell silent after hearing this answer.

Witch Gabriel also glanced secretly at Witch Sophia.

Even Lady Morgana rarely responded.

Andy had a look of confusion on his face, as if what Locke said was beyond his comprehension.

Albert, covering his mouth with his hands, chuckled. He patted Locke’s shoulder. “Well said, I agree with you. When I sell potions, I deliberately add extra ingredients to the formula to reduce their effectiveness. Later, I gradually increase the effectiveness and call it a version update. That way, I can legitimately increase the price of the potion.”

“Locke, we really should have met earlier.”

“I can set up a studio with you!”

Madam Morgana seemed unable to bear it any longer and changed the subject, saying, “You only have half a day to search for the entrance. If you still haven’t found the entrance to the institute after half a day, Gabriel will have to risk using prophecy magic to locate it.”

“The Nibelungen astrological system can work with you.”

“Remember, you only have half a day. Please find the entrance to the institute before tomorrow’s dawn!”
