104. Contraindications
The city of Pisa moved quickly, and when Talos found the dream of the delegation of Sidon City mages among the tens of thousands of jellyfish the next night, the other party had already prepared all the information about the witch.
As Scott had thought before, they really couldn't find a reason to refuse, compared to the ability to summon the Dream Eater Butterfly and the new magical knowledge, the small request to give witch information was completely negligible, and even a child who had just received magical enlightenment knew what choice to make.
Success, Pisa City's strength and spell level increased by one level, and defeat, they had nothing to lose.
That year, the emperor and empress finally had the crystallization of love after ten years of marriage, and they were a lovely little princess, the future empress. To celebrate the birth of the princess, the emperor decided to hold a grand banquet and invited almost all the nobles and mages of the capital, including the witch. β
"The Witch was one of the most powerful mages in the world at the time, but she was not affiliated with the Mage Guild, lived alone in the Valley of Thorns, had a career level of 23, was proficient in black magic, and was able to summon dark spirits to the Death Bird. β
The Death Bird, one of the six sacred birds of the Elemental Realm, symbolizes darkness and death.
The witch had a very strange temperament, so when she saw that the utensils that the waiter had placed in front of her were silver instead of gold, she became furious and lost her temper. β
"Wellβ" Talos muttered for a moment, "I'll make sense to pretend that the Emperor has invited a moody, eccentric witch to a banquet." β
Even if the emperor had not invited a witch, such a person would probably have appeared at the banquet uninvited and cursed on the grounds that he had not received the invitation and felt that he had not been treated with due respect.
"What about the guests, how did the guests react?"
According to the information gathered in the city of Pisa, the emperor reacted by instructing the waiters to change the witch with gold cutlery as soon as possible, and to apologize, and the guests did not feel the need for a meal to rise to the level of 'respect' or 'insult'. β
"Considering the current state of Thumb Country, I can guess that the witch did not accept the apology. β
"Actually, the witch didn't pay any attention to the emperor's apology and immediately lowered the curseβ" the mage who had read the information carefully recalled the situation, "'Because of arrogance, arrogance, arrogance, and disrespect for me, you humans will all become little people the size of your thumb!' β
Talos frowned, "There weren't any other mages at the banquet at that time who were as strong as the witch?"
The level of the Thumb Realm is very high, at least it is a high-level plane, and it can give birth to fifth-order professionals who belong to this plane, which is not possessed by the ascending plane.
"Yes, and there are three, but they have not escaped the fate of being turned into thumb figures. β
The mage also found something unusual, the witch's strength was too strong, so strong that people wondered if she really only had level 24, you must know that cursing an ordinary person and cursing a mage are obviously different, and cursing a level 5 mage and cursing a level 21 mage are also different, and the magic and spirit that need to be consumed are not at the same level at all.
There was no logic at all, this was Talos's first reaction after hearing this information, the witch's behavior seemed to him not so much narrow-minded and retributive as it was a mental illness, and the words "you humans" still had a vague hint of conspiracy.
The reaction of the witch at the banquet was like being accidentally hit by someone on the street, so she immediately drew her knife and hacked the person to death, and then rushed to the other party's ancestral house and destroyed the whole house.
This kind of character who brings out the madness and chaos of evil to the fullest is not common in the entire main material plane.
"Go on. Talos said.
"Then there's an incident that happened after the curse event, and it's very weird. The mage reporting to Talos was a little nervous at this, and Naga even found a hint of fear in his eyes, "About the witch's name." β
With Talos' encouragement, the other continued: "The witch's name became a very terrible taboo after the curse event, and no one could say it. β
"Can't tell? Can't pronounce the witch's name orβ"
"All those who pronounced the witch's full name died. β
Talos's spirits perked up, and the situation seemed somewhat familiar, and he confirmed: "Dead? Death immediately after pronouncing the witch's name, in what way, natural death or accident?"
"It's a curse! It is recorded that all who pronounce the witch's full name will be cursed, some will be cursed with sleep, some will be cursed with hunger, and some will be cursed with rot...... The mage of the city of Pisa said that the witch might have put a curse on her own name. β
Now Talos knew why the scene had just felt familiar, the Seven-Day Bible!
Both the Seven-Day Bible and the witch's name are like a key that opens the door to terror and the consequences follow you as soon as the prerequisites are met.
The difference is that people who read the Seven Days Bible will die at random by a spell, and those who read the witch's name will die at random with a curse, while those who pronounce the witch's name will die at random from a curse.
The two methods are identical, leading Talos to wonder if there is a connection between the Seven-Day Bible and witches, though the possibility is slim.
"This afternoon, one of our partners was tricked, and he didn't hold back after reading the information. β
This was the root cause of the mage's fear when he mentioned a witch, and it was too strange for him to comprehend.
One second it was a partner who had been getting along for a month, and the next second, because of the pronunciation of a name, he immediately encountered a rotten curse, and in less than twenty seconds, it rotted into a pool of blood.
Seriously, he was scared.
"I can understand that. Talos said comfortingly.
Typical curiosity kills cats, and Urban I warned Talos in his diary not to read the Seven-Day Bible, but when he received the parchment from Bruce, he did not resist his curiosity and read the story of the lion and the sheep from beginning to end.
Fortunately, he has a soul fire, and he is the Chosen One like Bruce, otherwise the end would have been even more miserable.
"What the name of the witch is, since it is recorded, it must be expressed in other ways. β
"Yes, Teacher, the name of a witch is terrible, but it will not have any effect unless it is pronounced in its entirety with her mouth, and among them is the silent recitation and writing in the heart. β
The mage said as he assembled a name with the help of dreams.
