Chapter 132 Curse Magic and Counter-Curse, Uprising in the Earldom
The petrified witch may have used magic to actually turn herself into stone, so that she could survive in an era without magic for more than two thousand years, and she used this method to prevent herself from aging.
At least it can delay her aging as much as possible.
At the same time, she set up a counter-spell in advance to petrify her own magic.
This counter-spell will not work when the magic tide ebbs, but when the magic tide comes again, it will work because it is supported by the magic tide, undoing the curse magic that turned her into stone.
In this way, she can return again.
The first time Su Nan learned about the counter-spell was from a magic book in the Oak Wizard's private library.
The so-called counter-spell is a spell that can break the effect of one's own magical curse.
Many curse magics have counter-curses.
In this way, if a wizard curses the wrong person, or he no longer wants to curse that person, he can use a counter-spell to lift the curse.
Nor will it cause an irreversible situation.
According to the notes written by Oak Wizard in that book, the reason why counter-curses appeared in the wizarding world was because more than two thousand years ago, there was a second-level witch who was good at cursing and was fighting a first-level wizard. At that time, the other party actually set a trap and cursed himself, so he cursed himself to death.
This incident was publicized by the first-level wizard as his own record and honor, and of course he received praise.
But in the wizarding world at that time, the wizards who followed the path of curse magic were greatly shocked by this, so they began to focus on the development of counter-curses.
I don't want to let this situation where I curse myself and curse myself to death happen again.
Sunan thought in his heart: "When the magic tide recedes, if you only use magic to turn into a temporary stone, as the magic tide recedes, the magic effect will be canceled. After the magic that keeps this person turning into stone disappears, This person will also become human again.”
"So, the petrified witch must have used magic that can truly turn herself into an irrecoverable stone, and set up a counter-spell in advance, waiting for the tide of magic that may be restored, and then use the counter-spell to restore herself."
"Thank you for coming up with this method."
Sunan knew that this method was not as wonderful as it seemed.
The danger involved is like walking a tightrope. If you make one wrong step, the petrified witch will really turn herself into an eternal stone, and she is afraid that she is not sure whether the counter-spell will still be effective after the passage of time.
If she was dug out during this process, she would probably be regarded as a real stone forever.
What she did was essentially killing herself once and then resurrecting herself.
It's just that the way she killed herself was a curse magic that could be broken by a counter-curse.
In other words, he killed himself once in a way that was possible and reversible.
Turning completely into stone and being maintained by magic are two different concepts of magic and different levels.
Su Nan could probably understand why the petrified witch did such a risky thing.
What is the concept of the magic tide receding? It is probably like a drought year, when the water in the pond has bottomed out.
The larger the fish in the pond, the harder it is to survive.
The land with thin magic has become increasingly unable to survive for a senior first-class wizard apprentice who possesses powerful magic power and is close to a first-level wizard.
The petrified witch did not want to gradually lose her magic, die a mediocre death, and be abandoned in this land without magic.
At that time, she must have risked her life and used all her wisdom and magic resources to design such a mechanism to petrify herself.
Half-step to becoming an official wizard?
It seems that this enterprising old witch is now very close to becoming a formal wizard.
After being resurrected more than two thousand years later, her mind was not affected at all. She felt discouraged and still wanted to complete her magical path and become an official wizard.
And this wizard's market is very useful to me.
I can completely use the overcapacity of low-level potions to exchange for higher-level magic resources.
This will make it more in line with the orthodox wizarding world. Sunan tapped her fingers on the table and began to think about what kind of benefits this gathering of wizards could bring to herself.
"Lionel, the information you brought me is very good. I am willing to bid 20 storm gold coins, do you think it is okay?"
"If you have similar information in the future, or if your business friends still have it, you can come to me, but remember, be like you and be meaningful."
Businessman Lionel looked at Sunan happily. Unexpectedly, the lord not only believed his story, which sounded very much like he was mentally ill, but also gave him 20 storm gold coins.
Know that this is just a message and not the actual item.
Businessman Lionel saluted Sunan and expressed his gratitude: "Generous and trustworthy lord, your credibility makes me feel that Maple Leaf Town's business and trade is so reliable."
"In the future, I will tell my business friends the truth about your reputation and your wealth."
"And now there is turmoil in Samori, and it can no longer assume the function of a commercial town. In the future, my friends and I will probably move our trade routes to Maple Leaf Town."
Sunan showed doubts. "What happened in Samori? I remember that the Bulgars didn't go there, and the Platinum Republic still has an agreement with our king."
"The Platinum Republic is responsible for helping us protect our coasts from pirates."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"In exchange for their trading privileges in the Kingdom of Storms."
"Samori is also not in danger of pirate attacks."
Businessman Lionel said to Sunan: "Master Sunan, you are on the north side of Samori City and Samori Territory, so you don't know about the riot yet. We came here from the Earl of Samori."
"Now there is a huge riot in the Samori city."
"We, as businessmen, don't know much about the real cause of the riots. We only know that the Earl of Samory did not manage his business well and his family had financial problems, so he followed the example of bankers from the Republic and set up a family bank..."
Sunan was speechless.
Family bank?
Then you don't have to listen to know what will happen. This kind of family bank might as well be called a legal robbery.
When small banks get a bunch of money, they spend it randomly, and the result is that they don't even get back to their depositors.
Lionel said: "The Samori Family Bank stores the money of many people in Samori City. As a result, this money cannot be withdrawn due to poor management by the Earl of Samori. The Earl of Samori enacted a law to force It is stipulated that after the family bank goes bankrupt, the Samori family does not have to pay back the money.”
"Then, there was a riot in Samori City. Some believers of the God of Law took the opportunity to shout slogans to restore the Eastern Empire and drive away the Storm Knight Lord."
"And attracted a large number of civilians to follow."
"More than 95% of the population in Samori still maintain their belief in the God of Law..."
"What made things even more out of control was that the next day, a Storm Knight attendant died in Samori City."
"The count suspected that the mob was responsible, so he began to have the army massacre the troublemakers."
Businessman Lionel said to Sunan: "So now businessmen don't dare to approach Samori City, they can only go towards the surrounding small commercial towns."
"We can only look for a new, stable commercial trade market."
Sunan raised his eyebrows.
He sensed a conspiracy in this.
How could a general civilian riot kill a knight's attendant? Someone must have set fire to it.
As for who it was, Sunan could guess it with her eyes closed.
Those of the Supreme Order will cause destruction near their own territory, and they will certainly cause destruction in other places at the same time.
The reason why my own territory, as well as the nearby territories, are very orderly is just because that little bitch of the blind nun has never beaten me several times.
