Henry hurriedly stepped forward with a respectful demeanor. He was already middle-aged and balding. His body was fat, and his face was oily. From his appearance, he had long lost the temperament he once had as a wizard.
"You're here, Wizard Malfaria." His tone was naturally flattering, completely ignoring the huge age gap between them.
He knew that the young man in front of him was no ordinary person. He was a powerful wizard who could be compared to those legendary natural-born bloodlines and high-level races.
This was a top figure in the future, a powerful being who could create his own family lineage.
Therefore, there was nothing embarrassing about being humble.
Seeing Henry being so humble, the two flirtatious female apprentices beside him also hurried to greet him respectfully.
Lin Sheng nodded casually. He held the black metal staff in his hand and slowly walked to the edge of the lake.
"What trouble did you say before? Tell me about it."
Count Welley had already pointed it out to him, so Lin Sheng did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
Henry hurried to catch up.
"It's like this. Because many powerful people from the Temple of Light have been passing through this area and heading to the Wild Forest, the security here is much better than usual. However, in recent days, a rather troublesome and strange disease has suddenly appeared in the territory. "
"Strange disease?"
"Yes, an emergency disease that I've named the Wilting Disease. Once infected, within two hours, the infected person will rapidly lose weight, and all the blood in their body will disappear. Their skin will turn pale, and they will have a high fever. Then, they will die on the spot. "Henry frowned.
"Wilting disease?" Lin Sheng squinted. "Have you looked for a priest?"
"Yes, a priest from the Forest Temple has looked at it. He even spent a lot of money to hire a high-ranking priest, but it was useless."
"Do you have any examples? Bring me there. "Lin Sheng said in a low voice.
He had intuition, a passive prophecy bloodline ability. At this moment, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
With his current level of ability, he could still feel that something was wrong. Obviously, this wilting disease was not a simple problem.
"Yes." Henry quickly took out a black diamond-shaped crystal from his waist pouch and threw it out.
Then, he mumbled something.
A thin black light flashed.
Suddenly, on the empty ground in front of Lin Sheng, a male corpse that was as thin as a match appeared. His eyes were wide open, as if he had died with a grievance.
The mummy was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary traveling merchant. Its hair was sparse, and it seemed to be a middle-aged man.
Lin Sheng frowned and examined it carefully.
He could vaguely sense a strange divine power aura from the mummy.
Just an ordinary human corpse, how could it be related to Divine Power?
Lin Sheng was slightly surprised.
He walked over, crouched down, put the staff on the ground, and carefully examined the body.
"Please be careful. Do not touch it or you will be infected!" Wizard Henry hurriedly reminded.
"No … that's not right. This isn't a contagious disease." Lin Sheng suddenly raised his head after a brief examination.
"Not a contagious disease?"
"Yes, this is a curse! It's a special, large-scale curse that appeared a long time ago. "
"Curse?"
In the city of Farne.
Beitans looked at Captain Shu Ya in astonishment.
"You're saying he's releasing a curse?"
"Yes, it's a special, rare, large-scale curse that only works on ordinary people. It's called Bad Luck Stripping. It's a special method commonly used by the Blasphemy Priests to replenish their Fallen Divine Power." Shu Ya calmly replied.
"And it seems that this isn't the first time this Bishop Wilson has done this." She stared at the gray-robed man who was casting the spell not far away.
"What will happen if you get this curse?" Lynk asked in a low voice.
"All the blood in your body will be drained, and you will die from the exhaustion of your lifespan." Shu Ya replied.
"How vicious … The Sea Temple has always been a powerful temple known for its healing. Who would have thought that the bishop would be like this. "Lynk sighed in a low voice.
"Wait, Captain, you're saying that this isn't the first time Wilson has done this? How did you know? "Beitans suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"It's simple. Because he still has a lot of resentment and souls that have only recently been entangled in his body. Although he has stripped and purified them, there are still many remnants. My ability allows me to see these very clearly. "Shu Ya replied calmly.
Hearing this, Beitans' face suddenly became very ugly.
After all, this was his family's territory. Wilson had recently released an area-of-effect curse, so the target, without a doubt, was most likely the people of Welly's territory.
"Damn it!" He clenched his fists angrily. "No wonder Dad said that Wizard Henry had some trouble to consult my brother about. Maybe it's this!"
"I'm eighty to ninety percent certain. Alright, don't get agitated. Otherwise, if Wilson accidentally finds out, we'll be in trouble. Even if we attack together now, we might not be that guy's match. We have to be very, very careful. "Shu Ya reminded.
"I know!" Beitans was still very angry.
Although the group hid in Lynk's special protective bubble, they would not be discovered by the people outside. But if they made too big of a move, they might also be discovered.
The few of them slowly quieted down and quietly recorded the entire process of Wilson releasing the curse through the crystal recording ball in Lynk's hand.
This would be the key evidence in the future to prove that Wilson was the Blasphemy Priest.
But this silence did not last long.
Wilson, who had just set up the curse formation and was about to sprinkle the material powder to release the curse.
Suddenly, he raised his head as if he felt something.
His eyes trembled. He stopped what he was doing and stood to the side, waiting respectfully.
Hiss.
Suddenly, a black and red teleportation door opened in the air in front of him.
From the oval teleportation door, an old Wizard wearing black and purple accessories slowly walked out.
"What's the matter? Why did you call me here in such a hurry?" The old Wizard asked impatiently.
"It's like this. Recently, due to the sudden situation in the Berserk Forest, this place is no longer suitable as a hunting ground. So, I want to apply for …" Before Wilson could finish, he saw the old Wizard raise his hand to signal him to stop.
The old Wizard's gaze wandered around, and then suddenly stopped where Shu Ya and the others were.
"Come out!!" He raised his hand slightly, and an obscure black light flashed on his five pitch-black fingernails.
Five pitch-black sharp claw marks appeared out of thin air more than ten meters away from each other, and fiercely grabbed onto the concealment bubble that Shu Ya and the others were hiding in.
Poof.
The bubble burst, and the group of people was instantly revealed.
"Not good, run!" Shu Ya's expression changed, and she quickly crushed the precious teleportation talisman in her hand.
Hiss!!
The white light of teleportation suddenly lit up.
Shu Ya, Beitans, and the others were completely enveloped, and were about to be teleported away.
What they did not know was that when the old Wizard and Wilson saw Beitans in the crowd opposite them, their expressions changed.
In an instant, their expressions changed.
"Run!!"
Without another word, the old Wizard rushed towards the teleportation door that was previously opened.
Wilson did the same.
