Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 260 The Power of the Divine Bloodline

As Su Nan chanted his incantation, the shadow behind the "Justice" witch Mary Palleolis suddenly lengthened.

On the black rocky ground of the Spirit Tower, a severely elongated shadow appeared, much thinner and longer than a normal shadow.

On Marie-Palaiolo's shadow lay a small imp. The imp raised its head, revealing pupils composed of black threads, filled with malice.

It looked at Su Nan with resentment, seemingly struggling and unwilling to leave.

The reason why black magic is more dangerous than curse magic, harder to break, and even more likely to cause the caster to lose control of it is because this type of curse magic uses specially made "vengeful spirits" that are full of resentment and jealousy towards the living.

They harbor extreme hatred towards strangers.

It's like a beggar with a twisted personality who harbors extreme hatred for every billionaire.

Their methods of creation are generally extremely cruel, resulting in gruesome deaths, which imbues them with deep resentment. This perception can even influence magic in turn.

Basically, this magic is known for being difficult to control and extremely powerful.

At this moment, seeing that Su Nan still refused to stop the counter-spell, the little devil roared angrily. It seemed that the gravity inside the Spirit Tower had increased tenfold, trying to suppress Mary and Su Nan. But the next moment, Su Nan didn't tolerate it and directly released his own magical pressure, causing the little devil to scream in agony.

I hate...all living people!

The next moment, Vasilyan's black blade struck it, annihilating it.

Su Nan closed the spellbook, his expression strange. "No wonder Brutus was betrayed by his own friend; karma is karmic retribution. The magic of the [Cursed Paradise] school is just too... heaven-defying."

"To be honest, wizards like Brutus and Anthony have a strong sense of wizard elitism. They only consider wizards of the same level as their own, while they seem to view mortals as another species."

Su Nan looked at the "Justice" witch, and saw that after the "Justice" witch was freed from the aging curse, her soul suddenly erupted with a powerful magic, pushing her mental strength from 85 to 100.

Su Nan's expression was strange, and he immediately guessed the reason: it was the talent of the Palaiologos family, namely, [Energy Reflection].

After I removed the curse that had almost killed her, her talent actually rebounded all the damage that the curse had caused her, including the loss of life force and magic power.

You should know that if I hadn't sold her a lot of mental enhancement potions, the "Justice" witch would have fallen out of the mental power range of 80 long ago, and the magical pressure on her body would have disappeared.

Now that the curse that had plagued her has disappeared, she has unexpectedly benefited from the misfortune, as her mental strength has broken through to the limit of a first-class wizard apprentice.

Su Nan's expression was strange. He hadn't expected that the "Justice" witch could improve her mental power so quickly. Was this the power of a member of a pure-blooded god family?

[Energy Reflection], this talent can actually be used in this way.

Therefore, if they were pure-blooded Komnenos, their [Superintuition] should be used even more subtly, far more powerfully than Rachel Komnenos's, or even the six first-circle arcane Superintuition spell models currently used by their wolf pack.

When the "Justice" witch opened her eyes, a look of surprise appeared in them; she herself hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

Su Nan said to her, "It seems that the divine family of the God of Law has a lot of talent that can be developed."

"If that's the case, you can intentionally accept some curses in the future and increase your strength by lifting the curses."

Mary said, "Thank you, Sunan."

"In the past, when I was cursed and then the curse was lifted, I would only experience a slight improvement in my condition, which I didn't take seriously. But I never expected... this time, the curse that almost killed me would have such a significant effect on my improvement."

"This is the first time I've discovered this."

"In the past, our divine family almost never considered becoming wizards."

Su Nan nodded, then suddenly made a suggestion. "Mary, I see you're almost a full-fledged wizard. How about I offer you a Blue Potion, a Flash Potion (+2), a Spirit Enhancement Potion (+7), and a Life Essence Concentration Potion (+3)?"

"To help you break through to become a full-fledged wizard."

"In exchange, you give me a vial of your blood, how about it?"

"I don't need too much, 200ml will be enough."

Marie-Palaiolo raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Lord Sunan, I myself had no idea that my blood could be so valuable."

"If you're serious, I can certainly make the deal."

The four potions provided by Su Nan are all highly effective in helping one break through to become a formal wizard.

This is why Mary suddenly felt that her blood was actually worth so much.

Moreover, 200ml is not much; it's just a relatively small amount of blood drawn at once.

Fearing that Su Nan might change his mind, Mary borrowed a white sap stabilizing agent from Su Nan to store her blood. She then drew 200ml of blood, and Su Nan handed her the four bottles of the agent he had promised her.

Mary looked on with some surprise as Su Nan handed her the scroll of the [Six-Pointed Star Binding Array] along with four bottles of magic potions. This was the array that the Petrifying Witch had traded to Su Nan that day, an array designed to increase the success rate of breakthroughs.

Mary looked at Sunan, "This..."

"Let me think about it, what should I use to make the payment?"

Su Nan waved his hand and said, "This is a free gift; at most, it's a small investment in your future."

Su Nan had a good impression of Mary, the "Justice" witch. She was a very brave witch who dared to rush up and launch a sneak attack on the god of the abyss, Myrcte.

It's just that we lack the strength.

If she had possessed formal wizard-level dark energy magic, Myrcart would have been in deep trouble back then.

Because Mary's dark energy tear and brass dagger did indeed hit the opponent.

So, while Mary is still a wizarding apprentice, you might as well befriend her a little and make her owe you a favor.

In any case, a magic array data is just a piece of information. This kind of information can be copied millions of times. In essence, there is no loss at all. It is just something that can be done at will.

Mary's personality, coupled with her pure-blooded identity as Valleillo, makes her a valuable asset. With a small investment, one could potentially reap considerable rewards.

Mary was silent for a moment, then whispered to Su Nan, "Thank you."

She seemed surprised that Su Nan, with whom she had maintained a business relationship, would suddenly give her a valuable gift today.

Mary hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Our Palaiologos family is one of the noblest families in the Nicomedia Empire, no, even in the Eastern human empire. Eleven of our ancestors were universal emperors."

"Palaiolo's family motto is: everything is a bargaining chip, transactions have no emotion; the interests of the family are paramount."

"Our family is full of cold calculations. No matter what resources you need, you have to show your talent to get them. Even lowly servants don't dare to give me gifts, so this is actually the first time I've received a proper gift."

Mary looked at Su Nan, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry, I think I got a little too excited."

"Thank you so much this time."

Su Nan raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

I had heard of Michael VIII of the Nicomedia Empire, who was the brother of the "Justice" witch.

That guy was the kind of person who, in order to gain support, would even write a letter to the Pope of the Papal States, a pantheon of order, stating that after he reclaimed the old lands of the Eastern Empire, the Church of the God of Law could be directly merged into the Papal States Church, turning the two churches, which were originally on equal footing, back into one.

It should be understood that the Church of the Law was originally the largest church in the Order of the Gods. His actions were simply to gain support, and he had gone to any lengths, turning against the Heavenly Gang and disregarding the feelings of all the people of the Eastern Empire and the reputation of the Church of the Law.

Living in the court of such a person would indeed be quite uncomfortable.

However, Su Nan was somewhat surprised that "Justice" had never received a gift in all his years.

Sunan asked Mary, "Do you have a wizard tower you need to break through to become a formal wizard?"

Mary said, "I have it."

"During one of my expeditions, I acquired a wizard's tower. Although it's a dark magic school wizard's tower, which differs from the dark energy school, the two schools are quite similar. So I can use it."

"Furthermore, with the Azure Potion you gave me, I should be able to break through. I'll start trying after I get back this time. I hope I don't fail."

Su Nan said, "If you fail, don't force a breakthrough. After all, as long as you're alive, you have a future."

"Alright, I need to get back to my own things."

Su Nan needs to spend some time dealing with two things. The first is this land of bones, constructed using a large amount of magic and natural subspace.

At present, Su Nan can only be said to have initial control, but even this spirit tower is not fully under control, let alone this land of bones with three layers of space.

The second thing is to figure out how to deal with the [Ring of Myrcart].

The Ring of Myrcart is still too dangerous. Even if I just hold it in my hand to increase my mental strength and strengthen my permanent defensive field, the resulting increase in entropy will be absorbed by it.

This means that Myrcart always has a fraction of his remaining body that can absorb his entropy increase and regain his strength.

The key point is that this is something I'm happy to see happen.

Therefore, Su Nan decided to try to research something that could weaken Myrcat, allowing it to absorb its own entropy increase, but also weakening it in a timely manner.

Mary consciously left the town of the dead as quickly as possible.

Su Nan then began to have the Death Knights and the three great sacrificial golems inspect every corner of the town to ensure that there were no potential dangers within this undead town.
