Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 251 The True Face of the Dead Town

On the way into the town, Gaius kept rambling on, such as boasting that when he was young, he was a powerful law knight, even a grand law knight, but later, as he got older, he rarely fought with anyone.

Gaius glanced at Su Nan and said, "However, if someone is willing to pay, I'm still willing to lend a hand to support my family."

Su Nan glanced at him.

Gaius then pointed to the tallest arched building in the town and said, "That is the largest slave arena in our town, owned by Lady Tiberias."

As they approached the town entrance, Su Nan saw a man lying there, completely drunk. Gaius's expression immediately changed upon seeing the man, revealing a look of disgust.

Gaius pointed at the drunkard and said to Sunan, "We shouldn't be like this drunkard, lying at the town gate all day, saying he's looking for someone, only to end up looking like a monster."

When asked who he was waiting for, he couldn't even say the person's name.

"Hahaha……"

"Useless lazybones."

The drunkard looked up at Su Nan and the others, then turned over and went back to sleep.

Su Nan and the others followed Gaius into the town, which seemed like a real, functioning society.

There were vendors, even thieves, and many residents.

These residents live in a prosperous and peaceful society.

Meanwhile, Sunan and Mary entered Gaius's house, where they found three slaves: a eunuch slave, a strong male slave, and a female slave who was tidying up the house.

Gaius, along with his wife Gaia, warmly welcomed Sunan.

They ate while lying on marble beds, and their food included bread, milk, eggs, butter, and so on.

Sunan and Mary didn't eat a single bite the entire time, just kept chatting with them. As a result, Gaius and Gaia didn't seem to notice that they hadn't eaten. Instead, they looked as if they were hosting guests and were very happy.

After the meal, the female slave Tita brought over a plate of fruit and leaned close to Sunan, whispering, "Sir, would you like a massage?"

Su Nan shook his head decisively.

The slave girl, Tita, blushed and stole a glance at Gaius and his wife, who were discussing matters with the "Justice" witch Mary. Then she whispered to Sunan, "My lord, you seem to be from out of town. Have you heard of the necromancer Brutus in your hometown?"

Su Nan looked up at her and found that the female slave Tita was quite pretty, but her temperament didn't quite match her identity as a female slave.

Is Brutus, the necromancer, the master of this undead town, the first-ring wizard?

If that's the case, then that's the breakthrough.

Su Nan asked, "I haven't heard of it. But why are you asking me this question?"

The slave girl, Tita, blushed. "I dare not tell my masters, because every time I say this name to them, they...they all beat me."

"But I know my husband is the necromancer Brutus. I know that very well, and I'm waiting for him to return..."

"Sir, please don't tell my masters, or they will beat me severely."

Su Nan reclined on the marble bed and calmly said to her, "Gaius seems to be a very good person."

The slave girl, Tita, nodded in agreement. "He's always been a very good person. But for some reason, whenever I mention his name, they become terrifying, like completely different people."

"When will my husband come back?"

Sunan nodded, then stood up from the marble platform and said to Mary, who was chatting with the Gaius couple, "Let's go, let's get out of here."

Mary looked puzzled. "Lord Sunan, shouldn't we observe a little longer?"

The Gaius couple were very welcoming. "Why are you leaving so soon? Why don't you stay and sleep at our house tonight? The roads outside town are dangerous at night."

Sunan said to Mary, "There's no point in staying here any longer."

"What's the point of staying in a phantom?"

Mary looked puzzled. "Lord Sunan, what do you mean?"

Su Nan raised his left hand, and powerful magical energy gathered in it, causing the entire town to tremble. "What I mean is, Mary, you've entered this town eleven times. But not once have you truly entered it. The reason the undead army only appears at night is because only at night does the real entrance to the town open."

"I'm asking you, where did you enter this town of the dead from?"

Mary's pupils suddenly contracted, and she said, "I...I entered this town from the shadow of the statue of the God of Law."

"So... the real town is hidden in the shadow of this town before us, Lord Sunan!"

Su Nan nodded. "That's why this town looks like a normal rural town in the world; the people here all seem alive."

"There is not a single living person here, nor is there any situation where the people brought into this space by the necromancer have survived in this space after several generations of reproduction."

Under the magic of Su Nan, the entire town trembled, and then snowflakes like coal ash suddenly fell from the sky, and the entire town of the dead suddenly turned into night.

Mary was slightly taken aback. She looked around and found that the building of their home in "Gaius" had undergone tremendous changes, as had the other buildings in the town.

All the buildings were in a collapsed state and covered with cobwebs.

At the same time, the sky was completely dark, with neither sun nor moon.

If she and Su Nan weren't both wizards, they wouldn't be able to see anything in this situation.

In addition, undead were flying everywhere in the sky, and the entire town was filled with skeletal undead creatures. There was even Mary's old rival, the skeletal dragon, hovering and flying in the sky.

The entire town was covered in white snowflakes, resembling completely burned coal ash.

This is the true face of this town, its true face hidden in the shadows.

Su Nan laughed and said, "That's right, this is what a town of the dead should look like. The whole town is filled with death energy."

"However, the situation is a bit beyond my expectations. It seems that the necromancer's death was not simple."

Mary quickly asked Sunan, "Lord Sunan, what does this mean?"

Su Nan said, "First, the fact that the wizard's tower cannot be found in this town means that there is a third layer to this town, and the wizard's tower is located deeper inside and is being deliberately hidden."

"This means that there are enemies of that necromancer in this dead town, otherwise he wouldn't need to hide the wizard's tower in this real dead town again."

"Therefore, I became curious about the cause of the necromancer's death."

"Secondly, this town of the dead is not just about death energy; it contains the power of an energy world... but not the energy world I usually come into contact with. The blind nun and that old bastard blind monk, their energy is full of order."

"Look, those snowflakes in the sky that look like coal dust are not formed by necromancy, but by the energy of that special energy world that has seeped in."

Su Nan pondered. "This shouldn't be any of the seven kings' subordinates from that energy world. Even the Silent Commander's energy is full of order."

"This must be the power of another energy world, mixed into the magic left behind by this first-ring necromancer."

Moreover, this characteristic is quite peculiar.

The energy in the energy world that Su Nan often comes into contact with will turn against magic and destroy it. But the energy in this strange energy world can coexist with the power of psychic magic for so long.

It even amplified certain aspects of psychic magic, meaning that the energy characteristics of this strange energy world should be very inclusive, capable of encompassing everything, but... also very chaotic.

I know I made the right choice coming here.

If my deduction is correct, then this special energy world's characteristics should be highly toxic to the energy emanating from the blind nuns.

Because one is chaos, and the other is order.

The two concepts are in serious conflict. If I can analyze this power, it will be of great help in dealing with the blind king in the future.

It's just unknown which energy world this power comes from.

However, the master of this undead town, that first-ring necromancer, should have done some research on this.

You can look for his scattered research notes in this small town.

Sunan looked at Mary. "Prepare for battle."

Mary looked around and saw that the Gaius couple, who had been very "friendly" to them before, were now looking at them with terrifying expressions. Half of their bodies were already rotting, and they were still wearing loose clothes. They were no longer hospitable at all.

Gaius stared intently at Su Nan and asked, "Why do you want to go into the deep town?"

"That's practically suicide."

His wife, Gaia, burst into maniacal laughter, raised an axe, and hurled it at Sunan. "I've wanted to chop you into pieces for ages! Slaves, join me in taking them down!"
