Chapter 53: Cursed Breath
The Tower of Magic needs a Legendary Wizard, and conversely, a Legendary Wizard also needs a Tower of Magic - after all, a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to do everything. It's just that the needs of the former are irreplaceable, while the latter can be replaced at any time.
As a result, all wizards who wish to remain under the tower will do their best to show their talents, even if it is enough to serve as the leader of a school or the head of a royal academy in the rest of the world, they will do their best to choose to serve the leader to whom they are allegiant.
Under normal circumstances, the inhabitants of the Tower will follow the same logic when dealing with enemies: enemies of the same rank will be dealt with by people of the same rank. Just like when Sykodi was dealing with the attackers, the directors of the various schools who came to the banquet did not move.
Because of this implicit rule, when the master of the Hall school pulled her up, chose to retreat without saying a word, and even asked Longman Hall directly at the apex, Poeti quickly realized that her inner turmoil was not a delusion.
Out of the corner of her eye, she flicked over the charred man lying on the ground, and saw an object resembling a diamond ring tumbling off his chest out of nowhere, and raised his head in frenzy.
His hands and feet were no longer obedient, and his body was bound by iron chains like steel thorns, but he still tried his best to pick up the diamond ring with his teeth.
In the visions of all the wizards present, Scotti could clearly see that there was a pitch-black orb circling over the ring.
The color of the sphere is so pure, it is darker than the deepest night.
This is a "magic key" - the most common technique used by wizards to record and transmit information, and can also be used to store spells. Because it can compress a huge amount of information that doesn't match the size of your own body, even spell archetypes that should take up a lot of resource space can be recorded.
There was a limit to that compression, though, and a silver glow of the same color as her hair flashed in her pupils. She quickly judged that the power contained in this small magic key would not exceed the official rank, and even if it could expand later, it would only be at the level of a high-level spell......
Poetry's gaze fell on the magician beside her. The other party had a serious face, staring at the small black ball of light.
"Don't look away, focus, I smell the 'curse' in that person, this matter is not simple."
…… Curse?
Poeti was stunned. Even to most wizards, this is a relatively unfamiliar term. After all, the Dark Wizard is almost gone from this continent.
But she trusts the other party's judgment. Because this master magician specializes in the field of spells, he once studied under Rorel Garcia, but for some reason chose to leave his original school and join someone else's sect. If it weren't for the hostile positions of her teachers, Mr. Hall and Ms. Garcia, I'm afraid no one on the tower would have accepted such a hot potato.
The relationship between the realm of spells and the realm of curses is almost common knowledge in the wizarding world: the latter is separated from the former in some hidden history, just as there is a close connection between the realm of life and the realm of plague.
It is said that the first wizards to study the field of evil were once the best and most talented in the two mainstream fields, but it was because of their deep and fanatical study of magic that they eventually went astray and liberated the terrible catastrophe from the shackles of human reason.
"The enemy who knows you best in the world is always the enemy." The assailant was carrying a curse—it was the judgment of a master spell master, and she had no reason to doubt it, even Longman Hall should take that judgment. Glancing quietly, Sykodi looked up, but there was no movement.
"Even if it's a curse, judging from the scale of this key, it may not be that strong......"
Shi Kodi and the master had already floated dozens of meters above the ground, but the other party still had no intention of letting her guard down, so she whispered.
The cursed realm is known for its strange and unknown principles, tricky and difficult to decipher, extremely destructive hazards, and strong pollution, etc., and is extremely rare nowadays, so wizards who may not meet once in a lifetime often talk about tiger color change, which naturally has an element of false rumors.
In fact, different curses have a fairly distinct level difference, and only when they reach the same rank or above can they pose a threat to wizards, and it is not as rumored to be able to make ordinary wizards powerless to resist. In the spell realm, the curse effect can be eliminated by counterspelling, and the general "talisman technique" can also play a defensive role.
knows this. But she also knows that the people around her know this better than herself.
"This is no ordinary curse."
She could hear the spellmaster's breathing getting rapid.
"I've never seen a curse of this calibre, not even in the teacher's lab. Miss Scotty, I was cautious at first to take you off the earth, but what I said next is not an exaggeration. ”
"Do you know what I was doing? I've been trying to use a counterspell, trying to parse the composition of this curse, but I've replaced more than 10,000 schemes so far that I can't crack even the outermost prototype structure. ”
"I don't know how it managed to be stored in a full-fledged magic key, but it undoubtedly has the power to destroy us."
The Spellmaster took several deep breaths before her face improved slightly.
"It's no exaggeration to say that only my former teacher in this tower can cope with the current situation. Because there are so many important members of the various schools gathered here. ”
"Even if the other adults don't have to worry about being affected, if they want to prevent the curse from spreading, they must weave a counter-curse in a short period of time. If the curse breaks out, maybe all the wizards except us will be hit hard, and only a few magic masters will survive......"
When Shi Kodi heard this, she couldn't help but feel a chill.
