Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 250 Entering the Town of the Dead

However, Su Nan didn't care about Mary's worldly status.

This identity is not that important to a wizard.

Moreover, Mary was a member of his own gathering, and she had paid a certain price to invite him to help.

The two, along with the Death Knights, arrived in the wilderness outside the town of Corfu, before the colossal, over two-hundred-meter-tall man-made wonder, the statue of the God of Law.

It was noon.

Because of the intense sunlight, there was no one else around the statue of the God of Law.

Only in the sunlight do the low shrubs reflect the light.

Su Nan indeed discovered that the angle of the statue's shadow shifted under sunlight, proving that there was something in the shadow that caused it to deflect.

After finding the magical fluctuations within the shadow, Su Nan opened the door to the inner world of the shadow.

Su Nan, Justice, and the Death Knights entered the shadows together and disappeared into the sun-baked bushes and grass.

Upon entering the town of the dead, Su Nan noticed that it was different from what he had imagined.

It felt as if I had arrived in a peaceful and tranquil rural town.

Outside the town, there are vast fields, where the town's residents grow grains and vegetables.

The sun here is warm, the breeze is gentle, and the air is fresh and invigorating. It's as beautiful as a landscape painting, and the whole town is painted in shades of red and white.

I believe that living here would be very pleasant.

The entire town was completely devoid of any trace of death magic.

Su Nan looked up at the sky, where there was also the sun, blue sky, and white clouds.

Su Nan sensed that something was trying to curse him, but under his constant defensive force field—the Brownian field, which was fifteen times stronger than his own, the curse was like an egg hitting a rock; no matter how hard it tried to curse him, it had no effect.

The Death Knights, being in a state between life and death, are susceptible to aging curses, which only work on those with a lifespan. Naturally, these curses have no effect on the Death Knights.

Marie-Palaiolo told Sunan, "This town looks like a normal town during the day. But as soon as night falls, anyone who leaves the town will be attacked by a large number of undead creatures."

"I want to find the core area of ​​this town and find a way to break the curse, but I have come up empty-handed. Moreover, I can't stay here for even a day; I will be forced to leave this space because of the undead army at night."

"I tried staying in the town at night, and I wasn't attacked by the undead army. However, I searched the entire town and confirmed that the core control area is not within the town. I think the core control area should be in the wilderness outside the town. Unfortunately, I have very little free time in the wilderness because it is full of undead creatures at night..."

Su Nan nodded. "Mary, I understand the basics now. You don't need to tell me anymore; I'll observe it myself."

"Because what you say might mislead me."

"Based on your own flawed observations of this town of the dead, you will summarize a series of incorrect patterns from those observations. Then you will tell me these patterns, which will waste a lot of my time. I might as well just observe it again myself."

What Su Nan said is true.

Therefore, Marie-Palaiolo did not offer any rebuttal, fearing that her mistaken understanding might interfere with Sunan's judgment of the place and affect the speed at which Sunan found the core area of ​​this ghost town.

Su Nan spent ten minutes carefully observing the sky above this space and discovered that it had been enchanted, directly borrowing the sky above Corfu Island from outside.

The evidence is that after they entered the town, their shadows in the sunlight were parallel to their shadows at the same time in Corfu.

This indicates that this space has not formed an independent ecosystem. The sky, the sun, and the air are all connected to the outside world, directly borrowing the natural environment of Corfu.

Su Nan walked into the fields, squatted down, and pulled out a radish from the field. The radish was shriveled, only the size of a human little finger.

Su Nan ordered the Death Knights to start uprooting the nearby farmland, and found that all the crops there were the same.

Su Nan's eyes were sharp.

This means that the town can no longer rely on farming in this space with severely insufficient life energy to maintain its food supply.

This is easy to understand.

This space was modified by a necromancer, not by a wizard from the School of Life.

Therefore, it's normal that nothing can grow in this space.

Mary had apparently been searching for the core area or fighting the undead in the wilderness outside the town, so she had never checked the crops.

At that moment, her expression changed drastically. "I always thought the people in this town lived off the crops grown outside the town. If the crops here are all like this, then... how do they survive?"

Su Nan glanced at her.

At that moment, a man dressed as a farmer saw Su Nan and the others pulling up crops in the field and became very anxious. He quickly ran over, shouting as he ran, "Stop! Stop it!"

"Outsiders, why are you uprooting our crops? Do you know how precious all food is?!"

"If Mayor Anthony, who hates outsiders the most, sees you doing this, you will be immediately driven out of our town."

Su Nan turned to look at the farmer, who was dressed in ancient clothing, as if he had passed away many years ago. "Oh, then I'll put these grains back in."

Su Nan immediately ordered ten ordinary death knights to put the pulled-out grain back in.

Immediately, the old farmer Gaius burst into laughter, as if the crops had been restored to their original state. "Outsiders, you are truly kind-hearted."

"Very well, I, Gaius, invite you to my home for dinner. My family isn't very wealthy, but we do have three slaves. One of them is a eunuch slave we captured from Persepolis in the east; he's an excellent cook."

"I, Gaius, am the most hospitable person in town. In the center of our town, there is a free public bathhouse, which our emperor built for us citizens to please us."

Su Nan and Mary exchanged a glance.

Now, Su Nan can confirm that the people in these towns are indeed living in an ancient era, so ancient that it is very likely a society from more than two thousand years ago.

Su Nan glanced at Gaius and found that he was full of life energy, looking just like a normal living person, without a trace of death. But in this ghostly place where it was impossible for a living person to survive, could anyone really live a comfortable life being served by three slaves?

Su Nan looked around the town again and had a guess. "I see."

"This town is really interesting."

Sunan said to Gaius, "Okay, then we'll go to your house with you."

Gaius was clearly very happy; he was truly hospitable.

Mary then turned to Sunan and asked, "Lord Sunan, what have you noticed?"

Sunan said to Mary, "If I'm not mistaken, this town isn't what you initially thought. It's a place where a necromancer stores undead units. This is where his wizard tower is located."

"Looks like I'm in luck this time and I'm likely to have a pretty big haul."

Mary looked puzzled. "But I can't see the wizard's tower anywhere here. I've looked so many times."
