Chapter 132 Curse Magic and Counter-curse, Uprising in the Earldom

The petrified witch may have used magic to turn herself into stone, which is why she was able to survive in the two thousand years without magic, and 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 to petrify herself in advance.

This counter-spell will not work when the magic tide recedes, but when the magic tide comes again, it will work because of the support of the magic tide and will break the curse magic that turned her into stone.

That way, she can come back again.

The first time Sunan learned about the counter-spell was from a magic book in the Oak Wizard’s private library.

The so-called counter-curse is a spell that can break the effects of one's own magic curse.

Many curse magics have counter-curses.

In this way, if a wizard curses the wrong person, or does not want to continue cursing that person, he can use a counter curse to lift the curse.

Nor will it lead to an irreversible situation.

According to the notes written by the Oak Wizard in that book, the reason why counter-curses appeared in the wizarding world was that more than two thousand years ago, there was a second-ring witch who was good at cursing. When she was fighting with a first-ring wizard, she was set up in a trap by the opponent and cursed herself, so she cursed herself to death.

The first-ring wizard publicized this incident as his own achievement and honor, and of course he received praise.

But in the wizarding world at that time, wizards who followed the route 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 kind of situation where I curse myself to death happen again.

Sunan thought to himself, "When the magic tide recedes, if the magic is only used to turn a person into stone temporarily, the magic effect will be canceled as the magic tide recedes. After the magic that keeps the person from turning into stone disappears, the person will return to being a human."

"So, the petrified witch must have used magic that could actually turn herself into irreversible stone, and set up a counter-spell in advance, waiting for the magical tide that could potentially restore her, and then used the counter-spell to restore herself."

"It's a credit to her that she could come up with this method."

Sunan knew that this method was not as good as it seemed.

The danger involved is like walking on a tightrope. If she takes a wrong step, the petrified witch will really turn herself into stone forever. Moreover, she is afraid that she herself cannot be 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.

In essence, what she did was to kill herself once and then resurrect 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 could be reversed.

Turning completely into stone and being turned into stone by magic are two different concepts of magic, things of different levels.

Sunan could probably understand why the petrified witch did such a risky thing.

What does it mean when the magic tide recedes? It's probably like a drought year when the water in the pond has run dry.

The larger the fish in the pond, the less likely it is to survive.

The land with thin magic is becoming increasingly impossible for senior first-class wizard apprentices with powerful magic power who are close to first-ring wizards to survive.

The petrified witch didn't want to gradually lose her magic and die a mediocre death, and be abandoned in this land without magic.

At that time, she must have risked her life and used up all her wisdom and magical resources to design such a mechanism to petrify herself.

Half a step to becoming a formal wizard?

It seems that this courageous 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 did not feel discouraged and still wanted to complete her magical path and become a formal wizard.

Moreover, this wizard market is very useful to me.

I can completely use the low-level potions that have excess production capacity to exchange for more advanced magic resources.

Thus, it can be more in line with the orthodox wizard world. Su Nan tapped the table with his fingers and began to think about what kind of benefits this wizard gathering can bring to him.

"Lionel, the information you brought me is very good. I am willing to offer 20 Storm Gold Coins. Is that okay with you?"

"If you have similar information in the future, or if your business friends have it, you can also come to me, but remember, it should be like you, with substance."

The merchant Lionel looked at Sunan with joy. He didn't expect that the lord not only believed his story which sounded like he was mentally ill, but also gave him 20 Storm Gold Coins.

Just know that this is just a message, not the actual item.

Merchant Lionel saluted Sunan and expressed his gratitude: "Generous and trustworthy lord, your reputation makes me feel that the business trade in Maple Leaf Town is so reliable."

"In the future, I will tell my business friends the truth about your reputation and your wealth."

"Besides, there is unrest in Samori now, and it can no longer serve as a major commercial town. My friends and I will probably move our trade routes to Maple Leaf Town in the future."

Sunan looked puzzled. "What happened in Samori? As far as I remember, the Bulgars didn't go there, and the Platinum Republic has an agreement with our king."

"The Platinum Republic is responsible for helping us protect the coast and resist pirates."

"As the price for their trading privileges in the Storm Kingdom."

"Samori is also not in danger of being attacked by pirates."

Merchant Lionel said to Sunan, "Lord Sunan, you are in the north of Samori City and Samori County, so you don't know about the riot yet. We ran away from the Earl of Samori County."

"There is a huge riot going on in the city of Samori right now."

"We are just businessmen and don't know the real reason for the riot. We only know that Count Samori himself was not doing a good job of management and his family finances were in trouble, so he followed the example of the bankers in the Republic and set up a family bank..."

Sunan was speechless.

Family bank?

You don't need to listen to know what will happen. This kind of family bank is better called legal robbery.

Small banks get a lot of money and just spend it recklessly, resulting in them being unable to pay back the depositors.

Lionel said: "The Samori Family Bank has stored the money of many people in Samori City. As a result, the money cannot be withdrawn due to the poor management of Count Samori. Count Samori has made a law that stipulates that if the family bank goes bankrupt, the Samori family does not have to repay the money."

"Then, a riot broke out in Samori City. Some followers of the God of Law took the opportunity to call for the restoration of the Eastern Empire and the expulsion of the Storm Knight Lord."

"And attracted a large number of civilians to follow."

"More than 95% of the population of Samori still maintains their faith in the God of Law..."

"To make things even more out of control, the next day, a Storm Knight squire died in the city of Samori."

"The count suspected that the rioters were responsible, so he ordered the army to massacre the rioters."

Merchant Lionel said to Sunan, "So now merchants dare not approach the city of Samori, and can only go to the small commercial towns around it."

"We can only look for new and stable commercial trade markets."

Sunan raised his brows.

He sensed a conspiracy in this.

How could a knight's squire be killed in a common civilian riot? There must be someone behind it.

As for who it was, Su Nan could guess it with his eyes closed.

Those people from the Supreme Cult will cause sabotage near their own territory, and they will definitely cause sabotage in other places at the same time.

Now the reason why his territory and the nearby territories are in good order is simply because that little bitch, the blind nun, has never hit him several times.
