Chapter 231 Forced Entry

Everyone began to search for the entrance to the Curse Spell Research Institute in the core of the castle of the Corinthian city-state overnight.

They began to carefully search every detail of the castle, fearing that it was the entrance to the Curse Spell Research Institute.

Locke also began to use the spell of summoning tomb spirits, creating two invisible tomb spirits, wandering in the castle and looking for an entrance.

Now he is becoming more and more proficient in using the spell model of summoning tomb spirits, so at the same time, he can actually summon two invisible tomb spirits and perform the task of reading the Modo language twice at the same time.

“The Curse Spell Research Institute consumes a massive amount of resources daily. It’s likely thousands of magic stones consumed in a single day, so a significant amount of resources must be invested. Even if it’s well hidden, traces of this will remain,” Locke pondered. “But there seem to be quite a few dark wizard apprentices in this castle. Even with Nils covering for us, I have to be careful.”

“These unknown dark wizards don’t have the ability to accomplish anything, but they definitely have the ability to do something bad. Accomplishing something is extremely complex and difficult, but to do something bad, they often only need to shout or two.”

In the middle of the night, a crescent moon hangs in the sky.

Locke was wandering alone in the courtyard. A second-class wizard apprentice from the Blood Curse Court saw Locke disguised as a mortal in the courtyard. He frowned, feeling very strange. He walked over and wanted to cast a fear curse on Locke, but was surprised to find that the simple spell model did not work on Locke.

Not to mention the extremely high magic resistance produced by Locke’s 505 magic pressure, even the effect of the Bear Spirit Green Gall Potion can make one immune to this level of curse magic.

The second-class wizard apprentice immediately became alert. “Who are you?”

The next moment, his neck and mouth were blocked by the Ominous Mandrake vines. He could neither escape nor make any sound.

The ominous Mandrake vine wrapped around the branches around his neck, and grew strands of purple berries that released a deadly poison, and soon the second-class wizard apprentice died.

This is the poisonberry ejection.

For Locke today, the spells he casts casually are deadly and dangerous poisons to these low-level wizard apprentices.

Sophia the Witch’s voice reached Locke’s ears. “Locke, it seems you encountered an enemy over there. You handled it so well, which is great.”

“Among us, you are the only one who can cast spells that are almost impossible to be detected by the Wall of the Faithless. Especially when you use low-level spell models.”

“Locke, Andy has found the entrance. Come to the second floor of the castle.”

Locke was surprised. He didn’t expect that among the five people, the one who found the entrance the fastest was Andy, the professional combat incinerator.

But it’s okay this way.

It was much better than half a day later when Witch Gabriel was forced to take the risk and use a first-level prophecy spell in the heart of the Blood Curse Court, against the Wall of Unbelievers.

Locke immediately placed the dark wizard’s body into the astral ring and went to the second floor of the castle.

As soon as he stepped onto the second floor of the castle, he found Andy, Albert and others gathered in a room.

Everyone is already waiting here.

Incinerator Andy said, “Great, everyone’s here. The entrance to the Curse Ritual Research Institute is in the mirror in this room.”

“Because I often fight on the front lines, I have some understanding of the Blood Curse Court’s spells. Since it’s not at the entrance to reality, nor in the shadows, it’s most likely in the mirror world.”

“The Blood Curse Court has a well-developed blood curse—the Mirror Blood Curse. They can use curse magic to create a special cursed space behind a mirror.”

“The way to confirm it is also very simple.”

Andy placed a faint magic flame in front of the dressing mirror in the room. Stimulated by the faint magic flame, a large amount of blood immediately appeared on the surface of the mirror.

Strands of blood flowed out from the surface of the mirror.

“This slight stimulation won’t attract the attention of the institute’s entrance or the Wall of Unbelievers, but it will stimulate the blood curse and cause it to manifest.”

“Normally weak magic can’t possibly stimulate this blood curse space.”

“But based on my understanding of them on the battlefield, I’ve discovered before that fire magic has a counteractive effect on this mirror curse magic. This curse will be manifested under the flames.”

The dark wizard Nils whispered his opinion. “Perhaps this blood curse is sensitive to high temperatures, which would destroy some of the connecting points. I suspect that the most crucial aspect of a high-level curse lies in the connecting points where geometric curses overlap.”

“Sometimes, in order to create certain curse effects, the connection point can only have certain weaknesses, and there is no way to compensate for them.”

Andy glared at him. “Don’t talk to me, Dark Wizard.”

Nils looked at Witch Sophia and even Locke with a sense of grievance.

Andy turned to look at everyone, his expression calm, none of the ferocious look he had when talking to Nils. “Everyone, forcing your way in will definitely alert the people at the Curse Research Institute.”

Witch Gabriel smiled slightly. “Don’t be afraid. I brought the [Diego’s Feather] with me.”

Witch Gabriel took out a white feather from her star ring, but Locke only saw a white feather at first glance, a black feather at second glance, and when he looked again, the feather turned red, and even its shape changed.

Diego’s Feather is a feather from a first-ring magical creature. Using the magic of the alchemy and divination schools, it can be transformed into a first-ring magical item.

The effect of this thing is a very high priority confusion spell that can confuse and disrupt the magic locks of the protection school, as well as identity authentication and so on.

Witch Gabriel walked up to the mirror and said, “As long as we find the entrance, we can find a way to enter the Curse Research Institute without alerting them.”

“The Nibelungen Astrology System can assist me in cracking the system.”

She placed the Diego Feather in front of the mirror. At the same time, Locke noticed that the Nibelungen astrological system seemed to be speeding up, so that the magical energy inherited through the sub-ring increased.

Madam Morgana said, “Be careful not to alert the Faithless Wall. Ever since the Blood Curse Tribunal purchased five of these defense systems, the difficulty of infiltration has indeed increased significantly.”

Ten minutes later, a blood-red cursed door appeared in the mirror.

Witch Gabriel curled her lips. “It worked.”

“I successfully tricked the magic lock and opened the entrance to the institute. Everyone, let’s go in.”

Witch Gabriel placed Diego’s Feather into the mirror. After the feather entered the mirror, ripples suddenly appeared inside the mirror.

Lady Morgana’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears. “Everyone, next, I will use the Nibelungen Astrology System, combined with the Digger Wing, to confuse the opponent’s six-fold curse barrier, rendering it completely ineffective.”

“But at the same time, my support for you will basically disappear. The Nibelungen Astrology System must operate at full capacity to confuse the sixfold curse barrier for you, and when necessary, reverse it for you.”

“Anyway, please be safe.”

“You all have to come back.”

Albert said to the group, “Let’s go in together. This way we should be together.”

“Niels, you stay outside and keep watch.”

Nils had a backup plan left by the witch Sophia, and he seemed to have placed all his bets on Lilith’s hut, so he had initially gained the relative trust of everyone.

Locke and others walked into the mirror and opened the bloody door.

It was a strange feeling, like walking into a mirror and opening the door inside it.

But just after they all passed through the blood gate, suddenly a river of blood rushed towards them, and the blood river was full of cursed energy.

This sudden change startled both Witch Sophia and Witch Gabriel, but at this time the Nibelungen Astrology System was already fully focused on confusing the six-fold curse barrier for them, and Lady Morgana had no time to give them any guidance.

Witch Gabriel reacted quickly. “Sophia, don’t use the first ring magic. Now is not the time.”

“This is the institute’s automatic defense mechanism. It must have sensed something unusual and launched an indiscriminate curse attack. If it were one of their own, nothing would have happened.”

“Albert, Andy, and Locke, you have to protect me and Witch Sophia. It’s not time for us to take action yet. The three of you don’t have enough magic power to directly lock you with the Wall of the Faithless. This is your advantage.”

“Make good use of it, especially… Locke. You can almost fight at full strength in this environment, and there’s a high probability that you won’t be detected by the Wall of the Faithless.”

The next moment, the blood river completely engulfed the five people.

Locke immediately took out a bottle of Bear Spirit Green Gall Potion from the Star Ring and drank it. At the same time, he used three Ominous Mandra Vines and Green Cleansing to grab them, surrounding himself with a green cocoon to protect himself.

Although he could use the Eye of Perseus for defense, that would be equivalent to actively launching an attack, which would easily attract unnecessary attention.

The next moment, Locke felt the river of blood hitting him hard, constantly invading his magic plant and his body, but the bear spirit green gall potion in his body produced corresponding magic resistance, which pushed all the curses out of his body.

“Bang~”

There was a loud noise in Locke’s ears. He could not hear anything in the river of blood. At the same time, there seemed to be a wailing sound full of resentment in his ears. After these sounds disappeared.

Locke frowned, released the spell, and put away the three ominous mandrake vines. His clothes were somewhat corroded and dissolved by the cursed energy, but he seemed to have successfully entered the research institute.

The only problem at the moment was that he was standing alone in a corridor.

It seemed that an accident occurred when they were teleported in, causing them all to be separated.

“Trouble.” Locke, alone in the dark wizard’s base, frowned. “We must meet up with the teachers as soon as possible. They can’t use magic yet. What if we encounter an enemy?!”
