Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 288 The Golden City at the End of the World

Su Nan continued walking, and they entered the second cave, where they found that it was filled with ruby ​​trees and sapphire trees.

Soon, Su Nan realized that these treasures were also cursed, so he immediately used a dispelling spell to break the curse and moved everything here into the Land of Bones.

The wizarding apprentices of the Calbell and Lox families were speechless. Su Nan simply ransacked every place he went, leaving only the bare earth.

Some of them felt it was not worth it, since they had been so careful here before, afraid of triggering some curse, and dared not take anything other than gold.

At this moment, Su Nan saw the inscription on the mural reappear inside the cave—[What is gained temporarily will only make it easier to lose later.]

……

Next, the third cave was filled with pearls, and there was also an underground river inside.

According to the information we obtained earlier, we can enter the pile of gold by passing through this cave.

During this process, the members of the two previous families had to be extremely careful. They also had to be wary of any fool in the group who might secretly take away a pearl or gemstone or something similar.

As is customary, Su Nan took all the pearls from the cave.

Then, a line of text appeared on the cave wall: "This is the moment of loss."

Su Nan realized that the curses from the previous three caves had all accumulated together and gathered in this cave, forming an even more powerful curse force.

Within the underground river of the cave, a jet of water shot towards Su Nan like a high-speed bullet, but was blocked by the black blade condensed by Vasilyan.

Then, five huge columns of water erupted from the underground river in succession. It seemed that the curse of the three caves had gathered here, strengthening the abilities of some creature in the underground river and temporarily giving it the attack power of a first-level oceanic spell.

However, this level of attack power is still rather weak.

All attacks were easily blocked by Vasilyan.

With a wave of his hand, Su Nan sent a magical energy beam into the underground river, where electricity surged through the water for a while.

Soon, a seashell creature the size of a carriage surfaced, seemingly stunned by Su Nan's magic potion that could generate lightning.

After Su Nan sealed the shell creature with a century-old sleeping potion, he had Wolf One and Wolf Two carry it into the Land of Bones for further research.

Letting it go is out of the question, because we might be able to study a lot about curse magic from this seashell creature.

The six indigenous shaman apprentices, recovering from their surprise, looked at Su Nan with some fear.

This wizard is truly something else; he'll leave nothing behind if he can lift or take anything away!

Next, they jumped over the underground river and entered the fourth cave.

The fourth cave was filled with gold coins.

There are gold coins from various periods.

Looking at the huge pile of gold coins, Su Nan was surprised that the Golden Wizard had collected so many.

Su Nan and his group passed through three caves filled with gold coins. In addition to the gold coins, each cave also contained a thick miasma. In the second and third caves, there were also some skeletons that had been turned into white bones by the miasma.

Su Nan noticed that as they went deeper, the gold artifacts in each cave became increasingly valuable. In the third gold cave, there were not only gold coins, but also gold-shaped carvings.

Meanwhile, in the very center of the fourth golden cave, a huge golden dragon sculpture appeared.

As usual, Su Nan took all the gold from the four holes in front of him.

When they reached the fifth golden cave, a warrior forged of gold suddenly swung his sword at Wolf. The next moment, the golden wizard's golden sword snapped in two beneath Wolf's powerful body.

Then, the enraged wolf used its demonic blood to power up and with a backhand swipe of its claw, knocked the golden warrior's head off.

As the golden warrior collapsed, Su Nan looked ahead into the cave and asked his six guides, "Is the Golden City just ahead?"

At this moment, the six indigenous guides looked at the huge, illusory city in the distance, their mouths agape, their expressions filled with disbelief.

They had only heard their elders describe it before; this was the first time they had seen the Golden City.

At the end of the fifth cave was a huge, bottomless pit, so deep that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

It was like a giant cliff.

But floating in the deep chasm of the cliff is a colossal golden city. The golden walls of that city rise and fall, as if on a distant shore.

Compared to the splendor of the entire city cast in gold, the gold piled up in these caves is utterly insignificant.

The gold coins in the fifth cave were covered with many golden centipedes that looked like candied hawthorns, but under Su Nan's demonic pressure, they could not get close at all.

Su Nan even used a sleeping spell to capture a golden centipede.

A native wizarding apprentice guide from Colbel explained to Sunan, "These golden centipedes... will be mixed in with the gold coins and taken out by us. But once they're out there, they'll start killing and causing us a lot of damage."

"But now..."

In front of Su Nan, these monsters, which had brought many terrifying memories to the two wizarding families, posed no threat whatsoever.

Su Nan chased away the golden centipede and retrieved all the gold coins.

He even found many spell scrolls among these piles of gold coins, suggesting that the magical heritage that the two wizarding families found in the ruins originated from this cave.

Most of the spell scrolls are apprentice-level black magic.

Moreover, Su Nan realized that these black magic spells contained many traps. In other words, this last gold mine was used by the Golden Wizard to create apprentice wizards who were essentially exploited.

If you learn the spells here, you'll probably find that the entire path of magic is a trap set by others.

However, Su Nan still carefully examined the five apprentice-level black magic spells. He reasoned that these spells could reveal clues about the magical path of a golden wizard.

The enormous golden city that appeared ahead left a deep impression on everyone who came here.

Su Nan looked at the apprentices from the wizarding families. "Do you know how to enter that golden city?"

The apprentice instructors all shook their heads in confusion.

The wizarding apprentice guide of the Colbert family said to Sunan, "The road ends here. Our ancestors never found a way to enter the golden city. There is no road here that leads to the golden city."

"We can only keep wandering around the outskirts of the Golden City."

"My lord, do you know the way into the City of Gold?"

Sunan asked Mary, Vasilyan, and Warwick, "What do you think? Mary, with your knowledge and years of experience scavenging wizarding relics, what do you think...?"

Su Nan paused, because at that moment, two Marys appeared in the crowd.

First was Mary, who had been following them. Second, there was another Mary who emerged from the cave behind them, the one they had passed through earlier.

Mary looked at Sunan and the others with some disbelief and said, "Sunan, we got separated earlier."

"You left before I even got there."

"How could I be among you...?"

Su Nan raised an eyebrow at this.
