Luna pondered for a while, and then asked in a somewhat strange tone:
"Even if it was really done by that old wizard, why did he choose two ordinary people to do it?"
The somewhat mysterious Miss Lisa did not give a direct answer, but pointed to Sherman who was hiding outside the door.
“You’ll have to ask them about that.”
"...You know what the official wizard looks like?"
This apprentice seemed to be quite extraordinary, and Luna was more interested in her.
"I came here only because I was hired by the Yani family. But I can't do anything when it comes to official wizards. What are you going to do next?"
"Let's take a step and see."
Luna had a headache. Of course, it would be best to ask Enissa to handle this matter personally, but she was not here right now. And looking at the curse, the two old people were not in danger for the time being. Since she was already here, of course she had to give it a try first.
She took a deep look at Lisa next to her and shouted to the door:
"Mr. Sherman, let's talk first."
......
"Did that Luddite wizard really do this?"
Sherman's face turned livid, and he looked very angry, but he didn't seem surprised at all. He said harshly:
"That old guy is already dead! And yet he still did something like this! When that happened, I felt..."
Seeing that he was about to speak at length again, Luna interrupted him:
"What's going on? Explain it briefly."
"You should know that the Lude wizard has been stationed in the Ironheart City next door. He has been in poor condition since he was injured in the war more than a year ago, and his life span is not long..."
"Well, how did you get involved with him?"
Sherman's face showed obvious anger, and his voice became louder:
"That old guy is dying. He relied on the fact that he is a formal wizard and has been desperately collecting wealth everywhere over the past year! He has taken advantage of all the small families and apprentices in the surrounding area! He has borrowed magic stones everywhere under various pretexts!"
Everyone knew that the old wizard was dying, and the so-called "borrowed money" was simply gone and never returned.
But it was precisely because of this that the other party became more and more crazy. Not to mention ordinary small families, some families with formal wizarding relationships suffered.
"Two months ago, he even borrowed money from our Yani family! He said that we are relatives of the top official wizards and must have a lot of magic stones!"
"We are still struggling to make ends meet! How can we afford to lend him money? The old patriarch refused on the spot. He didn't say anything at the time... I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the damn old thing would die on his own! He even cursed the old patriarch!"
In other words, this seriously injured old wizard plundered everywhere during his lifetime, and when he was about to die, he became even more crazy and cursed everyone who had offended him with witchcraft?
Luna vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on what.
But she had indeed seen it before, wizards on the verge of death were indeed extremely crazy. The more powerful and powerful they were, the more they would cherish their lives, and the more likely they would cause great damage.
"Look, can the two old patriarchs be saved? How about notifying Anessa to come over?"
Sherman was obviously still a little bit unconvinced by the extremely young female wizard in front of him.
"I have temporarily dispelled part of the curse, and the situation is much better. But it is not completely cured yet... You can inform the instructor if you want."
Luna couldn't get anything more out of him, so she went to find Miss Lisa.
This high-level apprentice lady never showed any nervousness in front of Luna. This was very unusual for most wizard apprentices. It was more like she was a direct descendant of some big family.
"Ms. Lisa, what do you think?"
The lady, whose face could not be seen clearly due to the veil but whose voice was very pleasant, said:
"Wizard Lude is said to have died two days ago. Logically speaking, the curse that originated from his bloodline should only be a one-time thing, and there will be no follow-up."
"But actually, when I was expelling the curse, I felt an external force replenishing me..."
"Maybe the only thing we can do is to go to the Keane family?"
Lisa said this meaningfully.
Luna also felt that this seemed to be the only solution. As long as the source of the curse could be destroyed, the remaining parts here would be easily dealt with.
“Also, this is not an isolated case.”
"......what happened?"
"I just found out about this after secretly investigating these past two days. Not only the Yani family in Zishan City, but many families in other surrounding cities have been cursed - and they have one thing in common, which is that they have offended the Keane family, and many of them are patriarchs and senior members of wizard families."
Luna felt like she was hinting at something, but she still couldn't quite figure it out. She became a little annoyed:
"Just go and see the Keane family and you'll know! At worst we can just have a fight!"
Lisa seemed a little speechless, so she simply reminded softly:
"…I mean this could be a trap."
"That's great! Just get rid of all the people behind this!"
Just do it when you think of it. Although it is not clear what this lady is thinking, she should not be an enemy. Otherwise, the entire Yani family would be finished before Luna came.
"Miss Lisa, please protect the Yani family here. I will go to Iron Heart City and kill the source of the curse."
Without caring about Lisa who was hesitant to speak, Luna just said hello and left the Yani family immediately.
The distance between Zishan City and Tiexin City is quite close, otherwise Luna would not have taken a ride before. She went there directly using the flying technique.
In fact, Luna was not without thought.
There are many doubts about the whole thing, and it is difficult to find the key for the time being. But there is one abnormality that is very obvious.
A curse from a formal wizard cannot kill apprentices and ordinary people? And it can wait until Lisa and Luna arrive to alleviate it? What a joke!
There are only two possibilities. One is that the wizard who cast the curse did not intend to kill anyone, but only used it to cover up some real purpose. The other is that the curse itself is indeed not of a high level, but is more difficult to deal with, and was deliberately disguised as being cast by a formal wizard.
Whatever the reason, further information needs to be gathered.
"If I were still an apprentice, this would just be a puzzle... Now that I'm a full-fledged wizard, why would it be so troublesome?"
And at this moment.
A small conflict broke out at the gate of Ironheart City.
Senior apprentice Forle led his caravan into the city, but was stopped at the city gate.
That's right, Luna had been staying in the Yani family for a while after parting ways with them, and this caravan had just returned to the city where the family was located. After all, they were far from being as fast as the official wizards flying directly.
"Ford, hand over this batch of goods and you can leave now!"
A senior apprentice, who was also in his forties or fifties and wore the Keane family crest, looked at Forle with pity as he returned from an outing.
"You'd better do it immediately and get out of here as soon as possible."
Behind him stood a wizard in a black robe.
143. Tripartite Meeting
Fore's face was full of disbelief. He looked at the familiar apprentice and said in a deep voice:
"This batch of goods is the family's property. How dare you block me at the city gate..."
"That's enough! That's enough!"
The senior apprentice just stared at the caravan with greedy eyes, his face showing joy. When the ancestors were still alive, these were all the assets of the official wizards, and they, the apprentices, only helped to manage them and did not dare to touch them at all.
But now even if they can get a small portion of it, it will be enough for them to enjoy for the rest of their lives!
"You still want to object, how about asking this wizard first!"
The black-robed wizard behind him stood up, emitting a powerful and frightening aura. There was no doubt that the one who made the high-level apprentice tremble must be a formal wizard.
And Foul always felt that the other person was somewhat familiar. His face gradually became terrified, and the fear of being almost killed before was still vivid in his mind. The result appeared before his eyes so quickly.
"You are--"
The black-robed wizard sneered:
"You never expected it, I'm waiting for you here! If you have the guts, ask that person to support you..."
"What are you laughing at? Am I not right here?"
The black-robed wizard's voice suddenly stopped, leaving the Keene family apprentice somewhat puzzled. But Fore was delighted, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and quickly turned around and shouted:
"Mrs. Luna!"
The silver-haired girl suddenly dropped from the sky, crossed the city gate, and landed in front of the caravan.
At this moment, the apprentices on both sides were so shocked that they could not speak for a moment. Only the black-robed wizard looked at the beautiful young wizard angrily:
"Didn't you say before that you didn't want to get involved? Didn't you just accept their employment?"
"So my employment period has been extended again. Do I need to give you an additional notice?"
"grown ups?"
The apprentice of the Keane family was still a little confused and subconsciously looked at the black-robed wizard.
"I don't care about your business anymore! All previous promises are void! Goodbye!"
As a result, the official wizard cursed, turned around and left, flew into the air, and flew out of the city without any regrets.
His apprentice was completely dumbfounded. Being abandoned by a powerful foreign aid was like falling from heaven to hell. He wanted to say something but didn't dare to speak.
"Old Four, you really disappoint me."
Fore shook his head and stared at him.
"Get out of here now!"
The apprentice ran away without looking back. Forl, who was left behind, took a deep breath and turned to look at Luna:
"Master Wizard, have you changed your mind again?"
"That's about right. Because of some circumstances, I need you to help me find out something."
......
The situation outside was already very chaotic, and the situation inside the Keane family was becoming even more turbulent.
Luna had also arrived at the Keane family's residence and was staying comfortably in a guest room, drinking coffee and reading witchcraft books.
After a while, For came into the room, looking tired and a little sad.
"Mrs. Luna!"
"Tell me about the situation."
The senior apprentice calmed down and began to explain what he had seen and heard:
"The ancestor... must have really passed away three days ago."
"Well, everyone knows this now."
Luna nodded somewhat noncommittally.
"There are four direct high-level apprentices in our family. You just met the fourth one... He and the black-robed official wizard have both left."
"The eldest brother, Kochi, has temporarily taken over the position of the head of the family and has control over the family's treasure house and the authority of the witch array... The second brother, Lotus, seems to have colluded with a group of outsiders, among whom there should be official wizards. He is currently trying to seize power from the eldest brother, saying that the eldest brother killed the ancestor."
"My caravan was seized as soon as it returned. Both sides were arguing over it."
Luna recalled what the black-robed wizard had said before. He seemed to have sensed something and didn't dare to enter the city. Now he was unwilling to give up and just blocked people outside the city. When he saw that things were not going well, he left immediately.
The official wizard in the city now must be very powerful. Is he the mastermind behind the second one?
"Actually, I heard a rumor..."
For suddenly let out a bitter laugh, his face full of disbelief.
"What rumors?"
"They say that the second brother has colluded with the official wizard, and the acting head of the family, the eldest brother, is also reluctant to give in... In fact, it's because the ancestor is not dead at all!"
It would be very interesting if the old wizard was not dead. At least his strength should be quite strong, otherwise he would not have attracted other official wizards to seize the inheritance.
"It may be the news that the boss just released, saying that the ancestor only faked his death. In fact, he has been observing in secret. He wants to find out the apprentice in the family who colluded with outsiders. He has also cursed all the enemies in the nearby cities. From now on, those foreign wizards with bad intentions will also be punished."
