In front of it is a dark metal fence with multiple runes engraved on it.
In a dungeon-like room at the back, there was a two-meter-tall humanoid monster imprisoned. It exuded a chaotic aura and roared furiously. It was bound by twelve metal rune chains.
"This is..." Enzo couldn't help but take a half step back.
Even though he was imprisoned in the rune dungeon, the humanoid monster still exuded a wave of terrifying energy, and the aura of chaos and evil made people feel numb.
"This is my only child, Gumundo."
There was a hint of sadness in Gustav's eyes, and he sighed, ": His soul was split due to practicing the forbidden art [Evil Ghost Haunting], and his body was also occupied by evil spirits."
"Forbidden technique?" Enzo's heart skipped a beat.
The so-called forbidden spells are spells that are recognized by the wizarding world as having certain flaws that make them unsuitable for wizards to practice.
This type of spell is often powerful, but difficult to control. If there is a slight mistake during the practice, it may cause serious harm to the practitioner, or even lead to death.
"Many years ago, in an ancient ruins, Senior Gumundo obtained the witchcraft model of the forbidden technique [haunting by evil spirits]!"
On the side, Byron slowly spoke and told.
"At that time, Senior Gumondo had just been promoted to a third-level apprentice. Out of confidence in himself, he began to practice [Evil Ghost Haunting]. According to the method on the witchcraft model, he incorporated many evil spirits into his body, intending to form an evil ghost.
Mark, but due to some mistakes, the soul fell apart and the body was occupied by evil spirits!"
"What will happen if you practice forbidden arts?" Enzo felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.
Wizards practice forbidden arts in order to gain strength. Once they fail, they often end up dying. Even those who are lucky enough to survive must pay a heavy price. Just like Gumundo, his body was devoured by evil spirits and he was imprisoned like a monster.
"After Gumundo failed to practice the forbidden technique, I locked him up here." Gustave slowly said, "Since then, I have tried many methods to solve the sequelae of [evil ghost haunting].
But it has never been successful.”
"It wasn't until thirty years ago that I discovered an ancient potion in an ancient book."
"Ancient potion?" Enzo was a little confused.
"That's right! Potions that existed in the Second Era!" Gustav nodded slightly and said solemnly, "In that era, the wizard clan had just defeated the gods and became the masters of the world, and the science of potions also ushered in its heyday.
An ancient wizard developed a magic potion called [Tears of the Holy Spirit], which is said to have the effect of purifying all evil."
Enzo nodded secretly in his mind.
The main reason why Gumundo's soul was split was the evil spirits in his body. If the evil spirits could be purified, he would naturally be able to return to normal.
"Since you already know about [Tears of the Holy Spirit], why don't you let Senior Gumundo use it?" Enzo asked hesitantly.
"Things are not that simple." On the side, Byron shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "There were magic potion formulas in ancient times, but today it is difficult to refine them. After countless years, many materials have even become extinct!"
"That's it." Enzo suddenly realized.
As Byron said, the world has gone through countless years from ancient times to the present, and many materials have disappeared in the long river of history. It is almost impossible to prepare an ancient potion.
"However, although some materials are extinct, it is not hopeless to configure [Tears of the Holy Spirit]." Byron spoke slowly.
"You mean...use some substitutes?" Enzo's eyes moved.
The configuration of potions is not uniform. Sometimes, it often comes down to a flash of inspiration. When he was on the overseas islands, in order to lift O'Quinn's curse, Enzo refined the [Purple Ding] based on the formula of [Moon Spirit Secret Potion].
Pharmacy].
Although that kind of magic potion cannot even reach the low-level level, it can only be regarded as an ordinary mortal potion.
It has been difficult to complete ancient potions due to the lack of materials, but some potion masters will choose to use substitutes and develop new potions based on the formulas of ancient potions through extensive experiments.
Even so, the probability of success is very low, and most of the new potions developed are not as good as the quality of ancient potions, but as long as one-tenth of the effect can be retained, it is worth trying, and the Potions Association also maintains this
Encouraging attitude.
"Yes, you are very smart!"
Gustav clapped his hands, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and said, "After thirty years of research, most of the extinct materials in the [Tears of the Holy Spirit] formula have found substitutes, and only
The next small amount of material is irreplaceable.”
"It is not easy to replicate an ancient potion."
Byron shook his head slowly and sighed, "If you give me another twenty years, I might have a chance to configure a brand new [Tears of the Holy Spirit], but it's a pity that I don't have twenty years anymore."
Enzo was startled and raised his head suddenly.
"As a third-level apprentice, I have lived for 100 years." Byron looked calm and spread his palms and said, "If I cannot be promoted to a formal wizard, I will have a life span of 5-10 years at most. Such a short time is obviously not enough."
Complete [Tears of the Holy Spirit].”
"Senior Byron...are you 100 years old?" Enzo opened his mouth wide, feeling surprised.
"Haha, don't be surprised." Byron shook his head and said softly, "I started my journey as a wizard 80 years ago. Because I only had a one-star talent, it took me 50 years to become a third-level apprentice."
"So that's it." Enzo nodded slightly.
"Forget it, let's get down to business." Byron took a deep breath and said solemnly: "[Tears of the Holy Spirit] is the only way to solve the sequelae of the ban. Recently, I have been preparing to be promoted to an official wizard. If successful,
Everything is easy to say, but if it fails, someone must take my place to complete it!"
"So, what the senior said before was to let me take over for you and complete [Tears of the Holy Spirit]?" Enzo's eyes flickered.
"Yes, that's it." Byron nodded and said solemnly, "With your potion talent, you are the most suitable candidate for this matter. The wizarding world has always believed in the principle of equal exchange. If you agree to this matter,
Not only can you take away the patent right of [Burning Potion], but you can also become the official disciple of Master Gustav!"
"The specific thing is this..." Byron opened his palms and looked at Enzo.
"Complete [Tears of the Holy Spirit]?" Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said solemnly, ": I am willing to become a disciple of Master Gustav and do my best to complete the [Tears of the Holy Spirit] potion!"
"Very good, the right choice." Gustav stroked his hands and smiled softly.
