Chapter 62: Curse Solution
Chapter 62: Curse Solution
laboratory.
Ivan was looking through the information about the curse of evil in the bookcase. Toins did not record how he was cursed. He guessed that the source of the curse power was a more powerful creature, and the other party was also transferring the curse power.
"You pass it on to me, I pass it on to him, should I find a few people to pass it on as well?"
As the saying goes, the more you know, the more problems and worries you have. He was really annoyed.
According to Toins's speculation, the power of the curse will continue to be passed down, and there will never be a day for them to be freed.
Toins did not hide the fact that the Song of Spring Wood was a medium, which had two effects: the same aura facilitated the transfer of curse power and promoted the fusion of curse power.
The latter was obvious, and even Penny and Billel could easily spot the clues.
It is recorded above that the curse of evil has four forms, named after the four seasons.
Curse of Spring, the initial form of Curse of Demon's Grudge, can make the flesh and blood more vital, and his physical growth comes from this; Curse of Summer, the second form of Curse of Demon's Grudge, is both the beginning of the mutation and can also separate out secondary curses, bestowing them on creatures with the same breath as himself. Toins uses meditation as a medium to bestow the Curse of Summer on others.
The Curse of Autumn, as the curse power in the body increases, the body will undergo a qualitative change; The Curse of Winter represents withering, the vitality will be exhausted and death will occur.
The key to staying alive is to reduce the power of the curse in your body and prevent the curse from entering the fourth stage.
"I'm afraid the third stage is not appropriate either."
Ivan suddenly thought of Ekz's second head, that ferocious python head, which was probably a means to transfer the power of the curse, so he was able to survive until now.
Perhaps with some expectation, Toins directly passed on to Ivan the method of transforming the Curse of Spring into the Curse of Summer, as well as the means of removing the secondary curse from the Curse of Summer, and recorded it on a page of paper in the materials.
"If you have the ability, pass down the complete meditation method and we can develop a new school together." Ivan secretly complained in his heart. Toins led him into a big trap and wanted him to trap more people. He was really hurting others and himself.
He continued reading and found that one of Toines' experimental plans was to transfer the power of the curse.
The method is simple: control the swarm of insects, cultivate the swarm of insects, and transfer the curse to the swarm of insects.
Experimental conclusion: The total life of each insect is low, its growth is slow, and it is unable to withstand the initial Curse of Spring. The experiment failed.
A term frequently appears in the records - body collapse. Without exception, the injection of the Curse of Spring makes the insect body unstable and falls apart in alienation.
Ivan read the experimental materials in one breath and fell into deep thought for a long time.
“No, the curse in my body is fundamentally different from the curse in Toins’ body. If we take the curses borne by creatures from another world as the main body, Toins’ curse is a secondary curse of demonic grudges, while the one in my body is a secondary curse of a secondary curse.
Just because bugs can't withstand lesser spells doesn't mean they can't withstand lesser spells. This should be one of the reasons why Toins left the information behind."
It was obvious that Toins would benefit from this, but he had to pay the price. Thinking of this, Ivan felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
What made him even more upset was that Toines left no spells to control the bugs, nor did he tell how to build a medium. If he wanted to go down this path, he was missing several key factors.
"It would be nice to get off this island."
Ivan sighed and said that on the island, every aspect was restricted, which made it more difficult to solve the problem.
It was already afternoon, past mid-afternoon. He hadn't eaten since morning, but he didn't feel hungry at all, as if he had entered a fasting state. This made him appreciate the uniqueness of the nutritional medicine.
"Wizard Toins asked me to tell you that when your mental power reaches level 5, I will teach you the second spell. Ivan, you see how generous and partial Wizard Toins is to you. You must practice hard and don't let Wizard Toins down." The little green-winged snake broke into the laboratory, bringing a new prescription and medicinal materials, as well as a piece of news.
After listening, Ivan understood what Toins meant. The second spell must contain a means to control insects, but he had to practice the Song of Spring Wood more and integrate more of the power of the curse.
His current mental strength is at scale 3.6, which is far from Toins's requirements.
'Stamina Potion'
This is the prescription brought by the little green-winged snake, a potion that can replenish people's energy, and its effect seems to be better than nutritional potions.
The little green-winged snake was still mumbling: "Since Wizard Toins still values you, I won't give you a time limit this time. The herbs can be used to refine 60 doses of physical strength potions. If you fail even once, don't even think about me giving you any more herbs. Do you understand?"
"clear."
Ivan nodded. This condition was not too harsh and he could spend more time exploring.
"Also, I forgot to ask you how many nutrient potions you made yesterday. You must have hidden some. Let's not talk about what happened yesterday. You must give me 70% of the potion you made this time. Otherwise, if I find out, I won't give you a new password."
"Row."
Ivan didn't think much of the psychiatric potion and didn't bargain with the little green-winged snake.
In the following days, he studied Toins' experimental data on insects while exploring various aspects of physical strength potions.
He asked his attendant Martin to collect insects for him. Martin worked quickly and found quite a few ants, cockroaches, fleas and centipedes, but unfortunately they were not of much value to him, which made him realize that this random searching method was meaningless.
What he needed was a special kind of insect, not just any kind of insect.
During the same period of time, other apprentices were having a hard time. The impact of the demon curse continued, and there were always various changes in their bodies, making the apprentices panic.
Ivan is the same in this regard. Perhaps it is because he is a knight-level person with a high physical strength, so the changes have not been very significant. Occasionally, a whole strand of blue hair will appear in his hair, and his nails grow long, but he cuts them, and then they grow again, and he needs to cut them every day.
He knew that, in fact, everyone had not yet integrated the power of the curse, and that as they were in the state of Curse of Spring, there would be no problems with their bodies for the time being.
But there is one exception, and that is Thomson, who has first-class talent. He has the lowest strength, and it looks like his body can no longer hold on. He may experience the "body collapse" recorded in the experimental data, just like those dead insects.
These days, Ivan tried to contact Purnie, but the Mystic Mark Bead had not responded since Birrel attacked Toins.
On the fifth day of researching the prescription, after failing for the 37th time, Ivan finally succeeded in refining a physical potion. The little green-winged snake came unexpectedly, and Ivan thought it had monitoring methods in the laboratory, but it came for other reasons.
"Ivan, there's good news."
Ivan glanced at it and seemed indifferent.
"Wizard Toins asked me to ask you if you need to learn new spells without waiting until your mental strength reaches level 5."
After hearing its words, Ivan was not happy but alert. Toins believed in equal exchange and would definitely not do business at a loss. He must have some requirements this time.
