Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 2 Curse and Adventure
The old butler wrote to say that Marvin's younger brother Winnie was under a curse that was difficult to remove. Even the great wizards of Magor College were helpless.
There was not much information in the letter, but fortunately the old butler who accompanied Winnie to Magor College described Winnie's condition in detail.
"The Twin Snakes' method!"
When Marvin saw those descriptions, he had a general idea in his mind.
The people from the Twin Snakes Cult are so rampant that they even dare to extend their hands to the Third Ring Tower area?
You know, originally Marvin thought that the Magor College where Winnie was located was one of the components of the Three Ring Tower . Logically, it should be the safest place on the East Coast. He didn't expect that he had just recaptured the White River Valley when problems arose over there!
This was something Marvin had not expected.
Why did the people from the Twin Snakes Cult attack Winnie?
"Could it be that the Patriarch saw me that day? This is impossible. I clearly picked out Miller's eyes first and then killed him."
Marvin immediately rejected his idea.
…
According to the old butler, Winnie is said to be preparing for a very important competition.
In the three-ring tower area, the academies under the three wizard towers compete with each other. Recently, it seems that the top leaders of the three wizard towers have jointly held a practical competition.
They divided their disciples into several levels and fought separately.
Although Marvin's younger brother Winnie is very young and has only been in school for a short time, he has already shown outstanding wizarding talent.
Just like his grandfather, with Winnie's talent, as long as he keeps studying hard, it won't be a problem for him to become a second-level wizard. He may even be able to challenge the threshold of a third-level wizard.
Such talent is quite good in the Three Rings Tower area, especially in the weakest Magor Academy.
This kid is said to have special expertise in combat witchcraft, so he was recommended by his mentor to participate in the trials for this competition.
Winnie's performance was very good, he made it to the final round.
But on the eve of the final round of tryouts, the nine-year-old suddenly fell ill.
It was obvious that this was a deliberate frame-up.
The professors at Magor College tried their best, but could only temporarily suspend the curse on Winnie.
But he himself was still in a coma and obviously could not continue the game.
The person who benefited the most from Winnie's coma was naturally his opponent, a wizard named White. Magor's teachers couldn't do anything about White, who was said to be a very powerful person.
Although they are very suspicious, they can't do anything without solid evidence.
"Sure enough, the prophecy spell has completely failed."
Marvin looked at the letter carefully, not wanting to miss any details.
Among the professors at Magor College, there was at least a third-level prophecy wizard, but they were powerless.
Obviously, the prophecy spell has completely failed. Otherwise, with a [Restore the Truth], the real culprit would have nowhere to hide.
The wizards have gradually begun to show their powerlessness.
Next, other types of spells will begin to be weakened, and the dominance of wizards will gradually be shaken.
After all, they are about to face even more powerful gods.
…
"Master Marvin, let me go." Anna took the initiative to say.
Marvin shook his head.
This time, it was not that simple. Winnie's coma was caused by something very similar to the Twin Snakes method.
Ordinary people, even wizards, cannot understand the specific principles because they have not fought against the Twin Snakes for many years.
After all, the curse is the most troublesome. If you want to remove the curse, you must remove the source of the curse. There is no such master in Magor Academy.
"Unless she is willing to take action."
"But this is obviously impossible."
Marvin thought silently in his heart.
The owner of the Rainbow Tower, to which Magor College belongs, is Hathaway, who is close to becoming a legendary wizard and is said to be the most promising wizard in the Southern Wizard Alliance to become a legendary wizard. During the game, Marvin clearly remembered that this female wizard successfully became a legendary wizard before the catastrophe and was very lucky to avoid being severely impacted when the cosmic magic pool exploded.
She was also one of the few legendary wizards who was particularly active after the Cataclysm. Unfortunately, one year after the Cataclysm, she was killed by a god.
It seems to be the same as Anthony's, it was done by the Shadow Prince. This guy has no face as a god. He is a legendary wizard who often uses his avatar to attack humans. Whenever he takes action, he basically never fails.
If Marvin guessed correctly, Hathaway must be in seclusion now to break through the final threshold of becoming a legendary wizard.
In this way, no matter how earth-shattering the events were at Magor College, she would not care.
What's more, a little wizard apprentice was subjected to an inexplicable curse.
If the teachers at Magor College had not appreciated Winnie's talent, he would probably have been abandoned long ago.
After all, the drugs and spells that delay the onset of the curse are very expensive.
The letter from the old housekeeper made it very clear that Winnie's current situation could only last for ten days at most.
The tryouts were postponed, but the deadline was two weeks later.
Time is running out for Marvin.
"I will go myself."
Marvin made a decisive decision.
"But here in the territory..." Anna was a little embarrassed.
"I'll announce to the public that I'm recovering from illness. There's nothing I can do about it." Marvin pondered and said, "Continue to carry out my orders. I'll have to trouble you with the specific matters during this period."
"I understand." Anna nodded solemnly.
"The power of the territory is still a little weak, but I will solve this problem."
"Gru and his Thorn Squad are both talented people. I'm sure they won't be content to just be adventurers their whole lives."
"Don't worry about the money, just try to recruit them first as much as possible."
Marvin ordered , "With the Thorn Squad, the safety factor of the White River Valley will be greatly improved."
Anna continued to nod .
"I'll let Agate follow you. Although he's still a little weak, he can still handle some things very easily."
"Also, if there's a little girl coming over from Riverbeach with her mother, take her in. Her name is Isabel."
"besides……"
Ma Wen made a series of decisions quickly.
It took him a full hour to give Anna instructions on all the arrangements, no matter how big or small.
And this diligent housekeeper has been recording Marvin's orders.
Finally, Ma Wencai finally made the decision:
"Go and call Gru for me and tell him that I found a book that contains a solution to the plague that her daughter is suffering from."
Anna hesitated and asked, "Are you going to tell him who you are?"
Marvin smiled and said, "Of course not."
"I'll tell him that the Masked Man with Two Blades informed me that he would meet up with him in River Beach City."
"Okay, go ahead. After you finish these, I still need to make some preparations before we can set off."
…
Things happened so quickly that even Marvin, who was always good at handling various matters quickly, found it a bit difficult.
The normal route would be to go through River Beach City, head northwest, cross the official road in the middle of the Dead Hills and Despair Hills, and arrive at the Moonlight Glade.
Further north is the site of the Three Rings Tower.
This takes about a week's journey.
It's a bit of a delay.
"If we go straight across the Hill of Despair, we can reach Moonlight Glade in just two days. If we are lucky, we can catch the hot air balloon in Moonlight Glade and reach the Three Ring Tower the next day."
Marvin drew a straight line on the crude map, and the places in his memory emerged one by one.
The rich adventure experience played a great role at this moment.
There are many dangerous places on this line, but there are also many good places.
After all, Despair Hill is close to Gem Bay and is the most familiar place in Marvin's game.
"If I'm lucky, I can even get a pair of good scimitars before I reach the Three Rings Tower."
Marvin stared at a certain point on the line, and some memories began to emerge.
But before that, he had to go to River Beach City.
No matter what, the plague on Gru's daughter must be driven out.
If Anna's recruitment fails, then this help will be a more important bargaining chip.
He hoped that during the time he was away from the White River Valley, the local armed forces would be slightly stronger.
After all, the recruitment of the garrison is still ongoing, and it is still a bit too weak.
"That's about it."
"Rest for an hour, then set off."
Marvin put the outdoor supplies into the void conch one by one and began to rest.
…
At midnight, a fast horse left the castle and headed straight for the riverside city.
