"What? A fourth-level life form!" Idru was shocked.
Slott, who was next to him, also shrank his pupils, with a hint of shock on his face. For a first-level wizard, the second-level academy veteran level seemed out of reach, let alone the fourth-level beings who were called 'gods' in ancient times.
Body.
"We don't know the specifics, and it's not something we should consider."
Ulysses shook his head and said, "Anyway, Thunder City is at the border of the Dark Territory, and the war will not spread here for a while. Let's follow the academy's order and send this year's fluorescent mushrooms to the Mist Forest in advance.
"
"No problem, just leave it to me!"
Idru said that he was responsible for carrying out the task of transporting fluorescent mushrooms in previous years. Although the delivery time this year has been advanced by a few months, the specific requirements have not changed.
"Then it's up to you, Idru." Ulysses said.
Idru nodded slightly, but at the next moment, his expression suddenly changed, a heartbreaking pain came from his chest, and his expression became extremely ferocious.
"Uh..." Idru gritted his teeth and tried not to make a sound.
"What's going on? Idru?" Ulysses frowned and stood up.
After a while, Idru's face turned from red to pale.
"Huh -" he took a long breath, looked ugly, waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little uncomfortable, there's no need to make a fuss."
Ulysses frowned and said nothing, looking at him closely.
A first-level life form that has condensed magic crystals in its body and has reached the official wizard level is almost impossible to get sick under normal circumstances, let alone feel uncomfortable for no reason. It is obvious that Idru is hiding something.
"Well, it's a curse."
Under the gaze of Ulysses, Idru was defeated and said with gloomy eyes: "Justin, that loser, can be considered an official wizard in any case. Before he died, he used his last magic power on me.
A curse has been released on me!"
"Are you cursed? Why didn't you tell me before?" Slott frowned.
Ulysses glanced at him and shook his head slightly. With Idru's arrogant character, he was unwilling to tell the two of them that he was cursed by Justin, obviously because of his pride.
"Don't worry about me, it's just a cheap little trick."
Idru rubbed his chest, his face returned to rosy, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Justin, that piece of trash, was trampled under my feet when he was alive. He is not worth mentioning after he is dead. He is just a trace of the power of a curse. I
It won’t take long to get rid of it.”
Ulysses and Slott looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
The three of them have known each other for many years, and they have long been familiar with Idru's character. When he was studying in [Phantom of Crows], Idru had a five-star top wizard talent, and he would be popular wherever he went, so he was raised easily.
He has a proud character.
"Since you still have the power of the curse, I will be responsible for transporting the fluorescent mushrooms this year." Slott said softly.
"Is this necessary?" Idru frowned and asked, "A trace of curse power will not affect my strength at all, let alone..."
"Stop arguing, Idru."
Ulysses interrupted him, shook his head and said, "Now is an extraordinary period. You'd better get rid of the curse as soon as possible and restore your condition. This matter is settled. This year's fluorescent mushrooms will be transported by Slott."
"...Okay." Idru opened his mouth but didn't say much.
The task of transporting fluorescent mushrooms itself has no benefits. It is just that the three wizards of Thunder City, Ulysses, as the lord, need to be in charge of the territory, and Slott is introverted and unsociable, so it falls to Idru.
After the conversation between the three of them ended, the study fell into silence again, except for the faint sound of crackling firewood.
...
Three days later.
In the early morning, daylight falls, dispelling the darkness of the night, and the golden sunshine shines on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth to the world, in a clean bedroom in a remote manor in the northern district of Thunder City.
On the soft wooden bed, Enzo's eyelids trembled as he woke up from his deep sleep.
"Count the time, today is the day agreed with Isaac." Getting up from the bed, Enzo put on a gray robe, then came to the window and pushed the glass window open.
The cool breeze blew into the bedroom, making Enzo feel refreshed.
"Quack!" A childish crow sounded, and not far away, a crow with just gray feathers all over its body flapped its wings vigorously and stumbled over.
"Good morning, Swain." Enzo stretched out a hand and let the crow land on his palm.
"Quack!" Swain opened his beak wide and let out a cry.
Enzo casually took out a magic potion, unscrewed the cork and fed it to the young crow. Just a few days after it broke out of its shell, Swain had grown a lot, and its appetite also increased. In the past, one magic potion a day would
It's no longer enough now.
A magic potion was fed in, but Swain still opened his mouth.
"Eat less, Swain." Enzo then threw the test tube into the trash can and said softly, "Even if you eat too much energy, you won't be able to digest it, and it will be wasted."
"Quack! Quack!!" As if dissatisfied with Enzo's stinginess, Swain chirped twice.
Enzo shook his head, unmoved. It was not that he felt sorry for the [magic potion], but that he was afraid that too much energy would be unbearable for Swain's young body.
He raised his hand and let Swain fly away.
Afterwards, Enzo walked out of the bedroom, washed himself briefly, ate two slices of white bread for breakfast, then went to the small garden and jumped into the dry well.
Falling into the bottom of the well, there was a chill all around.
In the dry well, many translucent resentful souls visible to the naked eye were wandering. A gray round flower pot was placed in the corner. The seeds covered in soil still showed no signs of germination.
"As expected of the Spirit-Swallowing Flower, which is notoriously difficult to cultivate."
Looking at the empty flowerpot, Enzo couldn't help but shake his head. He had buried the seeds for some time. He cultivated them according to the method given by the chip, but there was no response in the flowerpot.
After checking the Spirit-Swallowing Flower, Enzo left the dry well.
"Master, Sir Isaac is here to visit." Just after he came out of the dry well, a male servant came towards him and said respectfully, "He is in the hall with three other ladies. When will you come over?"
"I understand." Enzo nodded.
According to the time agreed between the two, Isaac planned to go to the underground ruins today. In addition to Enzo, he also invited other apprentices to join the team. It seemed that they were three female apprentices.
Afterwards, Enzo went to the manor hall.
"After the Deceiver died, the fallen wizard became a street rat!"
"Coupled with the high price offered by Ulysses, for some apprentices, it is nothing more than an opportunity. In this case, there must be many people going to the underground ruins to hunt the fallen."
