Synthesis Wizard.

Chapter 45 Bloody Mandala

The night passes and the morning comes.

As soon as it was dawn, Sunan took Amy out of the pub.

Amy's master, the mysterious wizard, lives in the Sharp Stone Valley east of Stone Bell City.

There is a pine forest about ten kilometers outside the city. Following the dense trees all the way eastward and crossing two hills, you will enter the Sharp Stone Valley.

After entering the valley, the further you go in, the more desolate the environment becomes and the terrain becomes gradually rugged.

There is almost no vegetation on the surface, and there are sharp rocks everywhere. Dead grass and thorns grow from the cracks in the rock walls, making a creaking sound as the cold mountain wind blows.

Sunan was a little confused as to why the wizard would choose to live in such a desolate place.

But then I thought again that it was a thousand years ago, and maybe a thousand years ago, the Sharp Stone Valley was not what it is now.

Amy lay quietly on Sunan's shoulder, licking her paws boredly.

It was not until the sun rose behind the distant mountains that the man and the cat finally reached a river beach.

"Meow, just follow the river and you'll be there." Amy said, pointing ahead.

Sunan did not set off immediately, but ordered Yinlong who was hiding nearby to go ahead and explore first.

This place has long been known to the Xinghuo Cult. If the latter wants to capture them, they will most likely send people to wait here. It is better to be cautious.

However, after a round of searching, no one was found hiding nearby.

"It seems that those guys haven't recovered from last night's battle."

Sunan felt relieved and walked upstream with a swagger.

Under Amy's guidance, he soon found a cave in the middle of a rock wall.

With the blessing of wind energy particles, Sunan easily climbed up the rock wall and entered the cave.

The cave was pitch dark, but the passage was very flat and spacious, with traces of human construction visible everywhere.

Su Nan took out a night pearl as a light source and walked inside.

At the end of the passage was an extremely spacious circular hall. The floor was paved with square granite bricks engraved with dense and strange patterns, like some kind of large magic circle.

However, many of the lines have become faint and blurred, and the magic circle can no longer be activated.

There are more than ten doors on the surrounding walls.

"Behind that door is the apprentice living area. Wizard apprentices basically rest there."

"That leads to the plantation. There used to be a lot of strange magical plants and elves in it, but they are all gone now."

"That's the warehouse, and this is the magic experiment square."

Amy introduced to Su Nan where each door led to, one by one, and knew them all by heart.

The entire building is unusually large, with passages extending in all directions and countless rooms. It can be said to be a castle built inside the mountains.

Judging from the runes that look like crystal marks remaining on the wall, this should have been a building similar to a wizard tower.

But now it has been destroyed and fallen into ruin.

Sunan originally thought that he could find some bargains here, but he found nothing along the way.

The Spark Cult's ability to act was even greater than he had expected. They emptied the place completely, leaving nothing of value behind.

"It's a pity that this place is too remote and the surrounding environment is a bit desolate, otherwise we could build a laboratory and magic plant garden here."

Su Nan thought with some regret. Since he couldn't find anything valuable, he didn't stay any longer and turned around and left with Amy.

After walking out of the cave, Su Nan suddenly remembered something and asked Amy, "The people from the Spark Cult said that you had been wandering around the north of the city. Why?"

Amy was stunned for a moment, then she shouted, "Meow, I almost forgot, there's something I didn't bring back!"

Su Nan was surprised and asked, "What is that?"

"It's the Bloody Mandragora. After the bad guys stole this magic plant, they put it in a big house for some reason. I wanted to take it back, but there was a powerful evil spirit guarding it. I couldn't defeat it!"

Bloody Mandala!
Sunan was surprised.

I have the impression that this is a very evil magical plant that feeds on the blood of living people. As it matures, its rhizomes become redder, and eventually the rhizomes will become as red as blood.

Once fully mature, the Bloody Mandragora will emit hidden mental fluctuations, creating illusions to lure nearby creatures and devour their souls.

Once it has devoured enough souls, terrible evil spirits will be born in the Bloody Mandragora's body. They will begin to kill nearby living people and devour souls to strengthen themselves.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that corresponding restraining magic arrays are generally set up in places where bloody mandalas are cultivated.

Otherwise, it will definitely cause disasters from evil spirits in the end.

Thinking of the ghost rumors he had heard in the tavern before, Sunan suddenly understood.

The big house Amy was talking about was most likely Lord Curbero’s estate.

"It seems that it was most likely the Spark Cult that brought the Bloody Mandragora into the manor. But what was their purpose in doing so?"

After a little thought, Sunan quickly figured out the connection.

Shizhong City is the central city of Yinyue Territory, and Viscount Yinyue happens to be one of the nobles who does not get along with Marquis Jinyan.

When an evil spirit appears in his own territory, Viscount Silver Moon must find a way to deal with it. Otherwise, if he leaves it alone, the harm caused by the evil spirit will quickly expand and eventually endanger the entire Stone Bell City.

If we rely solely on the power of the knights to eliminate the evil spirits, we don't know how many lives will be lost.

Even if the evil spirit is finally eliminated, the Silver Moon Territory will definitely suffer heavy losses.

By then, Marquis Jinyan and the Xinghuo Sect will be able to take advantage of the situation.

This evil spirit incident is most likely part of Marquis Jinyan's conspiracy to control the Jinyan Province!
"This guy really doesn't stop at all."

Su Nan secretly complained in his heart, but then his mind became active again.

Although the bloody mandrake is very harmful, it is also a very rare magical plant with a wide range of uses.

For example, the formula for the hallucinogenic potion that could increase mental strength that I had seen in Angel McLean's diary before, the main ingredient was the juice of the bloody mandragora.

The bloody mandala that Angel McLean had been looking for for decades was found by him under such circumstances. It has to be said that fate is a fickle thing.

"Among the materials for making hallucinogenic potions, the bloody mandrake is the rarest. The other materials can be obtained through the synthesis of the magic cube. As long as I get this bloody mandrake, I can make hallucinogenic potions continuously."

Sunan was suddenly excited, but quickly calmed down.

"Evil spirits are not easy to deal with. It's best to prepare some trump cards before going."

Sunan thought of the two half-damaged magic items he had just acquired last night.

If we can repair these two magical items, we will undoubtedly be more confident in dealing with the evil spirits.

Besides, he couldn't help Yin Yue Ling solve his problems for nothing, he still had to get the compensation he deserved.
