Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 100: Obtaining the Insect Jewel Meditation Method and Twenty Scarabs

The blind nun remained very indifferent in the face of Rachel's excitement.

The blind nun sensed the high concentration of magical power around her through Rachel Komnenos's soul and immediately showed an expression of disgust.

"No matter how many days and months have passed, even as time goes by, mountains move and land changes, I will always loathe the smell of wizards."

"These wizards' magical power infuses their own will into the energy. If the same energy in this world contained the individual wills of tens of thousands of these wizards, wouldn't the world's operation become incredibly chaotic?"

"I hate wizards more than humans."

"Rachel Komnenos, you have disappointed me greatly. If it weren't for Chesia discovering that you hadn't come out of the secret realm for nearly a month and contacting me to help you, you would be a fish on someone else's chopping board by now."

Rachel Komnenos pouted, quite unconvinced, but she knew the blind nun wouldn't listen to her, so she didn't dare to get angry. She simply said, "But this place is really too strange. Even if Miss Chesia herself came here, she would be trapped here."

The blind nun used her senses to observe her surroundings, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. "Humans, how laughable. Wizards are like that, and so are humans."

"How ridiculous."

"They think that just because they want to sacrifice the interests of others, they are no different from us."

"This place is different from any of the wizarding ruins you've encountered before. This is the residence of a formal wizarding school, but it's not a place of inheritance; rather, it's... a huge ritual center."

"I don't know the specific effects of the ritual yet, but the general effects are [transfer], [rebirth], and [selection]."

"Rachel Komnenos, the oak wizard, once clashed head-on with our energy world more than two thousand years ago, and was severely injured as a result, which may be directly related to his later death."

"But on his body remain fragments of the [Deception Orb] that were lost by His Majesty the Blind King, the Deaf King of the same rank, and the mid-level beings under his command."

"In order to kill him, that intermediate being used the power of that fragment."

"The Orb of Deception is a high-level magical artifact. This is your most important objective when entering this wizard's ruins: retrieve the Orb of Deception so that the King of Deafness can never assemble it into a complete Orb of Deception again."

Rachel Komnenos looked puzzled at the phantom of the blind nun. "Aren't the Seven Kings supposed to be allies?"

The blind nun laughed heartily. "That was before. Before things even seemed likely to succeed, perhaps we could still cooperate. But once things took a turn for the better, and the situation became favorable, we would become enemies. Seven kings?"

"This world can only hold one king at most. If the spoils are divided into seven parts, then that would be too small a appetite and ambition."

"Rachel Komnenos, you have the royal blood of the God of Law. Your other lineage ancestors were once chosen by the God of Law to be the divine representatives on earth. I remember that your clan has a natural spell-like ability—super intuition."

"If you have super intuition, you can find your way out of this maze."

"Let me use the warlock's power system to accept the potential hidden in your bloodline."

Rachel Komnenos raised an eyebrow; she wasn't stupid.

It's estimated that the faint divine bloodline in her body is the reason she rose to become a three-star sorcerer.

This is also the reason why she was treated specially.

But this isn't bad either; once she leaves this maze, she can start killing again.

As power surged within her, the blind nun said, "Thanks to the efforts of my people, even greater turmoil has broken out in the Storm Kingdom outside."

"King Carloyan has captured the old king of the Storm Kingdom and left triumphantly."

"Hurry up and get out of this ruin with the fragments of the Deception Orb."

"Let's make Southern Thrace even more unstable, especially by making sure that wizard lord named Sunan doesn't get away with it. I'll be keeping a close eye on him from now on!"

……

In front of the Oak Wizard Tower, as the Coca Wizard unleashed the Scarab Storm, countless flying, carnivorous dung beetles flew out from beneath the bandages on his right arm.

These insects are extremely ferocious; some of them even climbed onto the giant oak trees and began to gnaw on the oak's lignin.

Scarabs also target nearby insects, weeds, and so on.

These scarabs eat everything, and once they land on grass or trees, they devour them at lightning speed.

Most of the scarabs were released toward Vasilien.

Because Vasilian put too much mental pressure on the Guca wizard, he drove him to the brink of despair with just three stabs.

Therefore, he no longer cared about dealing with Su Nan; he only wanted to kill that terrifying black-armored knight first.

A massive swarm of scarabs, like a swarm of insects, attacked Vasilien, even devouring the magical power in the air.

In other words, this is a kind of insect that devours magic and everything else.

This caught the attention of southern Jiangsu.

This is likely a special species of insect developed by the Forsaken school, using countless apprentices and spells.

No wonder, it's said to be the essence of the magic of their Insect Curse Valley.

It's not exactly bragging.

Even people in southern Jiangsu are considering catching a few to study.

At that moment, these scarabs landed on the death barrier in front of Vasilyan, and actually lay on the invisible death barrier, gnawing at it.

Warwick was willing to take action and provide support, but Su Nan stopped him.

"Young master," Warwick said, "Mr. Vasilyan seems to be in trouble."

Su Nan shook his head. "We can deal with Vasilyan first."

"Secondly, Vasilyan is very independent. He doesn't like to rely on others and prefers to solve things on his own."

"Furthermore, I need to collect the Death Knight's combat data. A mere second-tier wizard apprentice is no match for a Death Knight."

Warwick bowed apologetically. "I see. I was indeed overthinking it. Mr. Vasilyan, I'll leave it to you."

Vasilyan, caught in the midst of battle, turned back and gave Sunan a grateful look.

Then, Vasilyan raised his left hand and cast Death Coil on the coca mage who had released the scarabs.

Suddenly, three cold, black tentacles appeared on Gu Ke's legs. Gu Ke, who was about to breathe a sigh of relief, looked down and found his forehead covered in cold sweat. Moreover, the protective talisman hanging on his waist shattered.

"This is..."

As three black tentacles grabbed his left leg, he felt his body temperature drop instantly, and he became unable to move. As a result, he had no choice but to stop casting the Scarab Storm spell.

The Scarab Storm spell consumes a lot of magic power and requires constant mental concentration. He was hit by Death Coil, so of course he could no longer release scarabs.

At the same time, Vasilyan moved behind him, raising the black blade high above his head and continuing to gather death magic, causing the black blade to release a cold, dark magical radiance, and the magical runes on the black blade to flicker.

[The Sword of the Dead]!

This is the strongest single-target damage spell of the Magic Knight - Death Knight.

Once this sword strikes, the coca wizard will be split in two, suffering a triple blow of death, frost, and physical damage, making him utterly dead.

The Guca Wizard believed that he had a comprehensive magical heritage, many spells, and no weaknesses. But wasn't the Death Knight created by Su Nan also a well-rounded magic knight?

Although a Death Coil costs Vasilian 2 points of Death Magic, Vasilian can only use Death Coil 10 times in a short period of time, even if he only uses Death Coil.

But this death entanglement alone almost drained all of Guca's life force, suppressed the magic within him, and interrupted his spellcasting.

The coca wizard has absolutely no chance against the Death Knight.

At this moment, the coca wizard also began to realize that Vasilian was not on the same level as him. He even sensed from this spell that Vasilian was a first-class wizard apprentice.

A storm raged within him. If Vasilian was truly a first-class wizard apprentice, then wouldn't Sunan, who held the dominant position, also be a first-class wizard apprentice?

Doesn't that mean he's been constantly provoking wizards who are of a higher level and have more powerful magic?

Among wizards, those who are most accomplished come first.

Lower-ranking wizards should naturally show respect to higher-ranking wizards.

Even among the Forsaken, it is a serious moral failing for a low-level wizard to provoke a high-level wizard.

Gu Ke was shocked. How could Su Nan and the others become first-class wizard apprentices in this era? Could it be that the wizarding inheritance they obtained was even more powerful than he had imagined? At the same time, he regretted his previous provocations against Su Nan and the others.

At the same time, just as the black blade was about to fall on his head and kill him, Vera suddenly shouted to Su Nan, "Please wait! I'm willing... I'm willing to use our school's Insect Jade Meditation Technique to save my teacher's life!"

"Please wait a moment!"

Vasilyan's black blade stopped less than a millimeter from the coca wizard's forehead, and a wound appeared out of nowhere on the coca wizard's forehead, from which blood gushed.

He slumped onto the muddy ground, his back soaked in sweat, too frightened to move.

When Vera saw that her teacher was not dead, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Because she realized that Su Nan and Vasilyan were serious, if she hadn't suddenly proposed a third deal, she would now only be able to hope to resurrect her teacher's corpse using necromancy...

Moreover, she doesn't know necromancy.

Su Nan looked at Wei'er and smiled, "Wei'er, you're much smarter than your teacher."

"I was the one who approached you for the second transaction, so it's perfectly fair that you approached me for the third transaction."

"But just the Insect Jade Meditation Technique isn't enough to exchange for your teacher. I also need your spell models related to the Scarab. I don't need the spell model for your core spell; just give me the data on the Scarab and twenty live specimens."

Su Nan said, "That's fair, isn't it?"

"Because if it were any other second-class wizard apprentices who challenged first-class wizard apprentices who were further ahead on the path of magic, I don't think you would be so lucky. Especially since I could kill both of you at any time."

The coca wizard's face turned red.

It was indeed wrong of him to provoke a first-class wizard.

No matter where you go, any wizard would find him outrageous.

There was another reason why Su Nan didn't kill Gu Ke directly: these Forgotten Ones might not be carrying important meditation methods and spell models with them. If he killed them, he might not be able to obtain their Insect Jade meditation method and information on the Scarab Beetle.

Moreover, by following these two, one can find ways to get to know other wizards and make deals or extort money from them.

Unless you encounter an object that cannot be traded and have no choice but to kill or rob it, it's better to trade if possible.
