Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 201 The Witch and the Monk's Potions

Storm Kingdom, the fifty-eighth year, at the turn of autumn and summer.

Five three-masted ships from the Achaean branch church pastoral district, which sailed offshore, arrived at the port of Lion, located on the Achaean peninsula.

The moment he stepped ashore, Su Nan raised an eyebrow and said in a voice only he could hear, "So that's how it is."

"It's really interesting that this blind little bitch nun found someone to deal with me."

"But what's even more interesting is that curse magic can always persist in a person in a very strange way."

At the port, a grand welcoming party from the Church of Storms was set up, with nuns and priests dressed in pure white, carrying blue and white flags, to greet Bishop Borgia and Sunan Peter, and more importantly, King Barry and his envoys.

Strangely, despite being notified in advance by Borgia, the Duke of Achaea did not send anyone to greet the king.

His true attitude is then quite obvious.

However, the senior and middle-ranking clergy of the Achaia branch church focused their energy on receiving King Bari. They had prepared a palace, suitable servants and carriages for King Bari. Sunan even heard from Borgia that these priests had spontaneously prepared a musical for the king, entitled "Lady Swan".

The story revolves around a noblewoman who falls in love with a young nobleman more than ten years her junior. However, she is already married, which causes her unease. Torn between moral condemnation and the allure of love, she becomes increasingly melancholic.

This is a story with religious precepts in mind. Although Su Nan told Borgia the general outline of the musical, he did not feel that the story had any preceptive effect.

On the contrary, it makes it easier for male nobles to satisfy their bizarre desires.

At the port, Borgia suddenly realized that, although he did not do it on purpose, the spontaneous fawning of the branch church priests made Sunan feel somewhat neglected.

Somewhat embarrassed and flustered, Borgia said to Sunan, "My friend, the sea breeze in Lion City is strong. I have prepared a welcome dinner for you."

"I hope you can come."

Su Nan nodded; he didn't care about such worldly treatment.

Even if many people try to please you, it's all fleeting and insincere; it's hard to keep them. Only the knowledge and power you gain will truly belong to you forever.

Sunan said to Borgia, "After the dinner, take me to that cemetery. I want to get rid of it as soon as possible."

Borgia had clearly misunderstood Sunan's meaning. "Sunan, my friend, you're so kind to me."

"But isn't it too dangerous at night? Even if my situation is urgent, it's not that urgent."

He clearly thought that Su Nan wanted to help him stabilize his position and resolve everyone's doubts as soon as possible.

At the port, Su Nan glanced at him and said, "It's alright."

……

The Sleep Curse is essentially a curse spell, and it's not a low-level one either, at least a 0.7-level spell.

On the edge of the Southern Thrace military district, in a hilly area, in a makeshift stone hut, the witcher Raphael Fisher and the witcher Selena Fisher were urgently treating their unconscious partner.

Selena poured an entire bottle of healing potion, which the Witcher family used to treat injuries, into the mouth of the unconscious Witcher lying on the stone bed.

She wiped the potion dripping from the witch's mouth with her sleeve. "Why hasn't my sister woken up yet?"

"The [Monk's Potion], which is specifically used to heal injuries and break magic, has stopped working."

"Logically, my sister should have woken up long ago."

Raphael Fisher was sitting at the foot of the bed, sharpening an arrowhead with a whetstone.

At that moment, a golden eye symbol appeared on his forehead.

He turned his head and looked at the witcher who had been unconscious for more than a week with the eye on his forehead, saying, "It's that wizard's curse."

"Although the [Monk's Potion] broke some of the magic on her, the curse that Sunan Peter left on her actually changed form and survived by combining with the magic power in her body."

"The [Monk's Potion] is designed to be safe so that it won't damage our own magic. But in doing so, Sunan Peter's curse will coexist with her magic in a combined form."

"At this rate, she won't wake up even after decades. Even witchers can't go without food and water, so we'll have to feed her."

"We Witchers are not energy beings, nor are we warlocks who are very close to energy beings. If she were a pure warlock, the curse that Sunan Peter left in her body should be broken by the warlock bloodline within her after a period of time."

Selena's pupils suddenly contracted, and for a moment, she was lost in thought.

She muttered to herself, her eyes filled with a deep-seated hatred. "A curse... a wizard's curse, the kind that killed my family..."

Tears streamed down Selena's face. "We only glanced at that witch, just one glance. I still remember those terrifying eyes, those unique eyes, a pair of red cross-shaped pupils. Why did that witch, just for that, use a curse to kill my family? Why!"

"Raphael, do you know why?"

Raphael seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned to look at Selena. Then he said in a deep voice, "I don't know. But I do know that when someone's abilities exceed the average level of ordinary people, inequality will arise. In this world, the king is a mistake, the nobles are a mistake, and the strong are all mistakes."

"Being clever is a mistake, being foolish is a right thing to do; being strong is a mistake, being weak is a right thing to do."

"In a world of equality, wizards should not be allowed to exist."

"And we will hunt down Suanen Peter with this arrow in my hand."

"Selena, don't cry. It makes you look weak."

"To help our fellow demons survive—if a demon hunter remains in a slumber, it's no different from being dead. Feed her one unit of [Transmutation Water]."

Selena's expression changed slightly, and her voice shifted. "If my sister drinks the [Potion of Transformation], she will lose all her magic, and her constitution will transform into that of a [Witch].

"Becoming a witch will cause even your personality to change drastically."

"To become a non-human being."

"The warlock bloodline within her will proliferate abnormally, transforming her into a being closer to an energy being than a warlock himself. However, this will also lead her astray, turning her into a monster!"

Without hesitation, Raphael walked directly to the package containing consumables in the stone house, took out a bottle of black potion, and poured it into the witch's mouth.

Selena looked at Raphael in astonishment. "Brother, she could have been revived if we had the antidote! You gave her the Transformation Potion, and she..."

Raphael's eyes turned terrifying. "I don't need witchers who can't fight. I also don't need the help of wizards' power."

"As a witcher, as long as you can still fight and retain the intelligence to fight, that's enough."

"Moreover, after observing them for these past few days, I have found their weakness. I believe that Su Nan and his subordinates must communicate through some kind of invisible and intangible magical connection."

"If I'm right."

"This communication channel is our breakthrough point!"
