Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 103 Niche Shifting Ceremony

In front of the enormous oak wizard's tower, beside the garden jungle.

Su Nan remained silent, while secretly having the AI ​​analyze the other party's current situation, and he himself was also analyzing the other party's situation.

As for what the other party said...

Su Nan wouldn't believe a word of it.

This is a selfish old man, and the fact that he said he would help him find the wizard boy is likely because the boy is after his body.

After all, in this day and age, finding another young wizard would most likely require exceptional talent, and that would be a long time coming.

For the Oak Wizard, directly taking over his own body was the most realistic thing.

Now is the time when I have the best chance of solving this old silver coin problem.

If he doesn't confront him directly now, even if he escapes from the Four Seasons Garden, since the Four Seasons Garden is also in the core area of ​​his territory, he might attack him at any time.

Moreover, this is the weakest point for this old silver coin.

The transformation ritual was forced to choose a girl who had just been resurrected. It seemed that she had not been fully resurrected and had almost nothing prepared. If they waited for her to be resurrected for a while, they could make many preparations and strengthen her magical power by using the magical plants in the Four Seasons Garden.

The old silver coins of today are barely out of their coffins, so it's hard to say how much power they have left.

But Su Nan suspected that his action of having Mario activate Brown's Shield must have scared the old silver coin.

Otherwise, there would be no need for him, a former formal wizard, to say so much to me.

Seeing that Su Nan remained silent, the Oak Wizard's face darkened.

The woman he possessed, Violet, was a beautiful young girl, but because she was parasitized by this old silver coin, he was able to use the face of a young girl to show a very sinister and lifeless expression.

I don't know how he did it.

The oak wizard said grimly, "You still don't know how powerful I am."

"You've learned quite a bit about plant magic from your journey through the maze."

"But at the top of this oak wizard tower, I have a small private garden where I grow some truly amazing things. Even though more than two thousand years have passed, and many magical plants may have lost their effects, a considerable amount of precious magical resources have been preserved."

"The Four Seasons Garden has two floors. The first floor is the maze you see here, and the second floor is my private garden."

"But entering the core requires sufficiently powerful magic. This little girl alone won't suffice; at least a first-class wizard apprentice's magic is needed."

"If you don't want to be my apprentice, that's fine too. How about becoming my ally? There are precedents of talented young wizards forming alliances with powerful older wizards."

Suddenly, the Oak Wizard laughed and said, "We can swear an oath of blood and use magic to form a covenant."

"You get what you want, and I get what I want."

The coca shaman beside Su Nan said, trembling slightly, "So this place was never your ancestral home, but rather a ritual for resurrecting yourself?"

The Oak Wizard nodded. "Yes."

"I deliberately leaked and circulated some information in order to attract wizard apprentices who wanted to inherit my legacy."

"Then, I will choose a suitable body. So along the way, I must make you understand my magical path, so that your bodies can be more compatible with mine."

"This magic array called the [Neclipse Transfer Ritual] is also my masterpiece before I died. Back then, for some reason, I fought against the true form of a mid-level being in an energy world. As a result, I was careless and he used a special thing to pierce my body. From then on, it interfered with my magic power every moment, causing me to gradually decline and eventually die."

"Before I died, I separated the uncorrupted souls and placed them in my wizard tower, set up a ritual, and instructed my apprentices to maintain this garden for generations. But I never expected that even after transforming into grass spirits, most of my apprentices would still die, leaving only that useless one."

While the Oak Wizard was speaking, the AI ​​also analyzed the results. After reading the results, Su Nan understood why the Oak Wizard was trying to talk to them and buy time.

It turned out that although the Oak Wizard had taken over Vera's body, Vera's soul was exceptionally strong and was still resisting him.

The Oak Wizard was probably planning to wipe them out by force, but he became a little hesitant after his signature spell was blocked by Su Nan's Mario.

They dared not engage in combat before they had fully controlled their physical bodies.

So he secretly absorbed the magic he had scattered throughout the Four Seasons Garden to strengthen himself and gradually suppress Vera's soul and restore some of his magic power.

[The opponent's soul and mana are in a state of constant chaos, and their control over mana is extremely poor. You still have half of the bloodline power of the previous two-star warlock. You can try to mix this warlock energy into the air, into the magic he absorbed.]

[The energy and magic of a bloodline sorcerer are two completely conflicting energies; if they both enter his soul, it will severely weaken him.]

Su Nan's eyes brightened slightly. While continuing his conversation with the Oak Wizard, he secretly had Wolf bring over a handful of stabilizing potions containing the essence of bloodline sorcerers.

Then crush it violently, infusing the essence of the bloodline sorcerer into the magic of the Four Seasons Garden.

Even a tiny bit of the power of this energy world is extremely toxic to wizards, requiring little sorcerer's power to enter the soul of an oak wizard!

The oak wizard looked at the wolf pack with disgust. "However, there's one thing I really dislike about those werewolves behind you. The most important thing in an ecosystem is the plant as the producer; it doesn't even need consumers at all."

Su Nan interrupted him. "Great Wizard of Oak, may I ask you a question? Can you give me an example of an ecosystem that has absolutely no consumers, yet exists in the long term without collapsing?"

"Uh..." Although Old Silver Coin was a bad person, he still thought very seriously about the core of his academic questions and tried his best to provide counterexamples, to the point that his attention to secretly absorbing magic decreased.

Unbeknownst to them, a foreign energy had been mixed in.

The Oak Wizard thought for a moment, then looked at Su Nan with a hint of annoyance. "Regarding this... I... I haven't found anything yet."

"But just because it hasn't been discovered doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"The world is so vast that anything can happen. I will find this ecosystem sooner or later."

Su Nan nodded. "The world is vast, and what you said is quite possible. But you're already dead; how can you explore the world?"

The oak wizard's expression suddenly changed, and his skin quickly turned ashen. He stumbled back, nearly falling. "What did you do? What did you release into the air?"

"Oh no!"

"The warlock's power has entered my soul."

"If this continues, my soul will break down."

Because Su Nan attacked the fundamental flaws in his doctrine, diverting his attention, by the time the Oak Wizard realized what was happening, the sorcerer's energy invading his soul was twice as much as Su Nan had initially anticipated.

The Oak Wizard suddenly turned around, wanting to return to the Wizard Tower and soak his body in the Magic Spring—the Spring of Life—to cleanse his soul.

But Vasilyan and Warwick appeared behind him.

They blocked his way.

The grass spirit, pinned to the ground not far away, still cared about his teacher and shouted, "Teacher, be careful!"

"Wild grass binds them!"

The Oak Wizard looked at Su Nan and said, slowly and deliberately, "To fight a full-fledged wizard like you, a mere first-class wizard apprentice, is simply out of your mind."

"what……"

The oak wizard suddenly twitched, and all the magic he had secretly absorbed into his body was expelled at once.

Because the warlock's energy conflicted with his magical energy, his soul was forced to expel all the magic he had secretly restored.

The sorcerer's energy, like a maggot clinging to a bone, remained within his soul even so, not being completely expelled, and continued to attack the core of his soul.

"That hateful young wizard. He just spoke to me, and it turns out his purpose was the same as mine—to stall for time and scheme against the other. But I was outsmarted by him."

"No. I can't fight him here."

"I must return to the magic spring in the wizard's tower."
