The old butler wrote that Ma Wen's brother, Vigny, had been afflicted with a curse that was difficult to remove. Even the Great Wizards of the Magog College could do nothing about it.
There was not much information in the letter. Fortunately, the old butler who accompanied Vigny to the Magog College described Vigny's condition in detail.
"The methods of the Twin Serpent Sect!"
Ma Wen had a rough idea of what was going on when he saw the description.
The people of the Twin Serpent Sect were so arrogant that they dared to stretch their hands into the Three-Ring High Tower?
Ma Wen originally thought that the Magog College where Vigny was studying was part of the Three-Ring High Tower. Logically speaking, it should be the safest place on the east coast. He did not expect that something would go wrong when he had just recovered the White River Valley!
This was something that Ma Wen did not expect.
Why would the people of the Twin Serpent Sect lay their hands on Vigny?
"Could it be that the patriarch saw me that day? That's impossible. I clearly picked out Miller's eyeballs before killing him. "
Ma Wen immediately denied his own thoughts.
…
According to the old butler, Vigny was said to be preparing for a very important competition.
In the Three-Ring High Tower area, the academies under the three Magus Towers competed with each other. Recently, it seemed that the higher-ups of the three Magus Towers had jointly organized a practical competition.
They had divided their disciples into several levels and had them fight their own battles.
Although Ma Wen's brother, Vigny, was very young and had only been in school for a short period of time, he had already displayed outstanding talent as a Magus.
Just like his grandfather, with Vigny's talent, as long as he continued to study diligently, it would not be a problem for him to become a Grade 2 Magus. He might even break through the threshold of a Grade 3 Magus.
This kind of talent was considered good in the Three-Ring High Tower area, especially in the weakest Magog College.
It was said that this kid had a special expertise in combat spells, so he was recommended by his mentor to participate in the competition.
Vigny's performance was very good. She overcame all the obstacles and killed her way to the last round.
However, on the eve of the final round of selection, the nine-year-old child suddenly fell ill.
It was obvious that this was a deliberate set-up.
The professors of Magog College tried their best, but they could only temporarily suspend the curse on Vigny.
However, he was still in a coma. Obviously, he could not continue the competition.
The one who benefited the most from Vigny's coma was naturally his opponent, a wizard named White. Maggore's teachers couldn't do anything about White. It was said that this guy had a powerful background.
Although it was very suspicious, they couldn't do anything without conclusive evidence.
"As expected, prophecy spells have completely lost their effectiveness."
Ma Wen read the letter carefully, not wanting to miss any details.
Among the professors in the Magog College, there were at least Grade 3 Divination Wizards. But there was nothing they could do.
Obviously, the divination spell had lost its effectiveness. Otherwise, a [Truth Restoration] would expose the real culprit.
The wizards had gradually begun to show their powerlessness.
Next, the spells of other elements would begin to weaken, and the dominance of the wizards would slowly be shaken.
After all, they were about to face a more powerful god.
…
"Master Ma Wen, let me go," Anna volunteered.
Ma Wen shook his head.
This time, it was not so simple. Vigny's coma was very similar to the methods of the Twin Serpent Sect.
Ordinary people, even wizards, did not understand the specific principles because they had not fought with the Twin Serpent Sect for many years.
After all, the curse was the most troublesome. To remove the curse, the source of the curse must be removed. There was no such master in the Magog College.
"Unless she is willing to do it."
"However, this is obviously impossible."
Marvin thought silently to himself.
The master of the Rainbow Tower to which the Magog College belonged was Hathaway, who was close to becoming a legendary wizard. It was said that she was the most promising wizard in the Southern Wizard Alliance to become a legendary wizard. In the game, Ma Wen clearly remembered that this female wizard had successfully become a legendary wizard before the Great Cataclysm, and was very lucky to avoid the serious impact at the moment when the Universal Magic Pool exploded.
She was also one of the few legendary wizards who were particularly active after the Great Cataclysm. Unfortunately, a year after the Great Cataclysm, she was killed by a god.
It seemed that, like Anthony, it was done by the Shadow Prince. This guy did not have any dignity as a god. He often used his avatar to sneak attack human legendary wizards, but he had never failed.
If Ma Wen's guess was right, Hathaway must be in seclusion now to break through the final threshold of legendary wizard.
In this case, no matter how earth-shattering things happened in Magog Academy, she wouldn't care.
Not to mention that a small wizard apprentice was inexplicably cursed.
If it were not for the teachers in the Magog College who valued Vigny's talent, he would have been abandoned long ago.
After all, the medicine and spells to delay the outbreak of the curse were very expensive.
The letter written by the old butler was very clear. Vigny's current situation could only last for ten days at most.
The trial was postponed, but the deadline was two weeks later.
There was not much time left for Ma Wen.
"I'll go myself."
Ma Wen made a decisive decision.
"But the territory …" Anna was a little embarrassed.
"Tell the public that I'm recuperating. This can't be helped. "Ma Wen pondered and said," Continue to carry out my orders. I'll have to trouble you for the specific affairs during this period. "
"I understand." Anna nodded solemnly.
"The strength of the territory is still a bit weak, but I'll solve this problem."
"Gru and his Thorns Squad are all good talents. I'm sure they won't be satisfied with being adventurers for the rest of their lives."
"Don't worry about the money. Try to recruit them as much as possible."
Ma Wen said, "With the Thorns Squad, the White River Valley will be much safer."
Anna continued to nod.
"I'll let Agate follow you. Although she's still a bit weak, she'll be able to handle some things easily."
"Also, if a little girl comes from River Beach with her mother, take her in. Her name is Isabelle."
"And …"
Ma Wen quickly made a series of decisions.
It took him a full hour to instruct Anna about all the arrangements, regardless of whether they were big or small.
And this diligent housekeeper had been recording Marvin's orders all along.
In the end, Ma Wen finally made the decision.
"Help me call Gru over. Tell him that I found a book with a way to deal with the plague on his daughter."
Anna hesitated, "Are you going to tell him your identity?"
Ma Wen smiled, "Of course not."
"I'll tell him. Double Mask informed me that I'll meet him in River Beach City."
"Okay, go. After this is done, I still need to make some preparations before I can go."
… …
Things happened too quickly. Even Ma Wen, who was good at dealing with all kinds of matters quickly, felt that it was a bit tricky.
Taking the normal route, he should pass through River Beach City, go northwest, cross the Dead Hills and the Hills of Despair, and arrive at the Moonlight Woodland.
Further north was the territory of the Three Ring High Tower.
This would take almost a week of travel.
It was a bit of a waste of time.
"If we directly cross the Hills of Despair, we can reach the Moonlight Woodland in two days. If we're lucky, we can catch the hot air balloon in the Moonlight Woodland and reach the Three Ring High Tower the next day. "
Ma Wen drew a straight line on the rough map, and the places in his memory emerged one by one.
His rich adventure experience played a great role at this moment.
There were many dangerous places on this line, but there were also many good places.
After all, the Hills of Despair was also close to Gem Bay, which was the place that Ma Wen was most familiar with in the game.
"If I'm lucky, I can get a good pair of scimitars before I reach the Three Ring High Tower."
Ma Wen stared at a 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 removed.
If Anna's recruitment failed, then this help would be a more important bargaining chip.
He hoped that during the time he left the White River Valley, the local armed forces would be a little stronger.
After all, the recruitment of the garrison was still in progress, and it was still a little too weak.
"That's about it."
"Rest for an hour, then set off."
Ma Wen put the field supplies into the void conch and began to rest.
… …
In the middle of the night, a fast horse left the castle and went straight to River Beach City.
