Chapter 17 The Witch's Curse

"Father!" Enzo couldn't help but exclaimed and stood up quickly.

"Don't make any noise! ​​Enzo, I'm fine."

O'Quinn's face turned pale, and he waved his hand to signal Enzo to stabilize. Then after a violent ups and downs in his chest, he finally regained his composure. In just a few minutes, his whole body was already wet with sweat, and his whole body was wet with sweat. Looking very tired.

Sitting slumped in the chair, O'Quinn took a long time to regain some energy and slowly raised his head.

"What happened in Wolf Tail Town? What happened to your body?" Enzo couldn't help but ask.

Seeing O'Quinn's physical changes just now, Enzo finally understood why he was hiding in the underground training ground. It was obviously not that he was about to break through and become a knight, as Pariste had guessed, but that he had actually suffered some irreversible damage. .

"Huh - the mysterious one." O'Quinn breathed out slowly, a trace of solemnity flashed in O'Quinn's eyes, and said, "I met the legendary wizard in Wolf Tail Town!"

Enzo's heart skipped a beat and his eyes flashed.

"In the war with the direwolf family, Kaiyuan City originally had the advantage, but when I led the army to attack Wolf Tail Town, a mysterious witch suddenly appeared on the battlefield." O'Quinn's eyes flickered, and he fell into Recall, ": Her strength was not too strong, but her methods were mysterious and unpredictable. I tried my best to kill her, but before she died, she released a witchcraft that almost killed me! "

"Although I survived by luck, my body has been weakening since then, so I had to end the war in a hurry and return to Kaiyuan City to recuperate."

Finally knowing what happened in Wolf Tail Town, Enzo felt a haze in his heart. According to the knowledge obtained from the books in the iron box, O'Quinn's condition was probably caused by some kind of curse, and it was a witch who died. The price of the curse!

"After killing the witch, I got a dark iron box."

O'Quinn raised his head and looked at Enzo.

"It should be in your hands now, right?"

After coming out of the underground training ground, O'Quinn started to deal with the affairs of Kaiyuan City. He knew everything about what happened in the castle recently. He naturally knew that the loot obtained from killing the witch had been owned by Enzo.

"Indeed, it's in my hands." Enzo nodded and admitted.

"After I got the iron box, I tried to open it in order to break the witch's witchcraft, but I couldn't do it." O'Quinn looked at Enzo deeply and sighed, "Since you can open it, It may mean that you have some kind of talent!”

“Although wizard civilization has always existed in legends, no one can deny its power.

"Get as much power as you can. The young eagle will eventually soar into the sky. Even if I want to, I can't protect you under my wings forever. Only you can cut off the thorns on the road to the future with your own hands!"

"Father, please rest assured that I will definitely live up to your expectations." Enzo nodded heavily and said solemnly.

The conversation between father and son ended after the sun rose.

After returning to the room, Enzo felt a sense of crisis. Now that winter is approaching, there are undercurrents of power in various cities in the wasteland. The Iron Scythe family has made no secret of their spying on Kaiyuan City, and as the city lord, Austrian... Quinn was cursed by the witch and fell into the weakest state.

"We must improve our strength as soon as possible!"

Enzo's eyes flickered, and his desire for power reached an unprecedented level of urgency.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he closed his eyes and began to enter a meditative state.

As usual, after becoming proficient in "Ancient Memory", Enzo soon found himself in the sea of ​​stars, with little lights flashing around him, sinking into his body like silver fish, and the cycle continued over and over again.

After a long time, Enzo opened his eyes.

More than four hours had passed, and judging from the height of the rising sun, it was already noon outside.

Feeling the growth of magic power in his body, Enzo's eyes flashed with a glimmer of thought.

"With my current magic value, I can construct 5 runes, but the simplest zero-ring witchcraft requires 7 runes to support it!"

"If I meditate for more than 4 hours a day, I can accumulate the magic power required for the remaining 2 runes within 5 days. Plus the 3 days it may take to crack the witchcraft model with a chip, which means that it will take 8 days at most. , I can master a zero-ring witchcraft and officially become a first-level wizard apprentice."

"While learning witchcraft, you must not relax in the cultivation of fighting spirit!"

"Now, O'Quinn still has a certain degree of deterrence. Only by seizing every opportunity can we improve our strength as soon as possible to face possible threats in the future!"

Enzo's eyes flashed and his thoughts changed.

Before I knew it, five days had passed.

In the silent room, Enzo, wearing a black shirt, sat at the table, silently flipping through a black book.

After a long time, he slowly exhaled and closed the black book.

"According to the records in the book, the witchcraft my father was possessed by should be a kind of witchcraft called the 'Curse of Resentment'!"

"When the caster is about to die, he releases it at the cost of his life. Although this is just a zero-ring witchcraft, it will wrap around the heart of the person who has been cursed like a gangrene attached to the bones, constantly devouring the life force, and finally causing the person to be cursed. The lamp will burn out and die."

Enzo rubbed his forehead, his eyes flashing with thought.

"The easiest way to get rid of this curse is to configure the corresponding magic potion."

"In the book left by the witch, there is indeed a recipe for a potion to break the 'curse of resentment', but the materials needed are all kinds of strange, most of which are not found in the Cold Plains, and have never been heard of, so there is no way to make it!"

"Ah--" Enzo sighed, looking a little distressed.

In the past few days, in addition to meditation and cultivation, Enzo has been trying to find a way to solve the curse on O'Quinn.

After reading the books left by the witch, Enzo found that there are many ways to exorcise the curse of resentment, but each one is as difficult as ascending to heaven for him, such as asking a formal wizard to remove the curse, or O'Quinn's physique reaching the level of a sky knight.

Finally, after careful consideration, the most likely method is to prepare a potion, but due to the problem of materials, it still cannot be implemented.
