Wizard Earl

Chapter 669 Derong's Medicine

As soon as he finished speaking, old Victor looked at Martina and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, Martina, let's make a deal. Tell me what happened that day, and in exchange, I can overlook your betrayal and give you a quick death!"

Old Victor's matter-of-fact expression immediately made Martina laugh in anger. She said coldly, "Butler Victor, do you know where you are? This is my safe house. Are you so confident that you can control me on my turf?"

"Martina, you really overestimate yourself..."

Old Victor spoke softly, and before his aged voice had even faded completely in the secret room, he lightly tapped the ground with his cane, causing ripples to spread through the air.

Seeing Old Victor make a move, Martina, who was always on guard against him, did not hesitate and immediately drew her bow and fired three green arrows with the power of the Kahn Magic Bow. However, surprisingly, Martina's three green arrows were not aimed at Old Victor, but at the seemingly ordinary cement wall of the secret room.

Just as Martina fired those three green arrows, Old Victor's mental attack, Water Ripple, struck her relentlessly. A look of pain instantly appeared on Martina's face, but soon a bright blue light automatically illuminated her body, easing the pain on her face considerably.

Martina's expression softened, and a hint of relief appeared in her eyes. During her fight with Connor, Martina had suffered greatly from Connor's mental attacks, which had left a deep impression on her. So when she learned that old Victor could use mental attacks, Martina decisively prepared a mental defense magic item for herself in case of emergency, and now it had indeed come in handy!

Despite withstanding old Victor's first wave of mental attacks, Martina dared not be careless. Immediately, as planned, she began chanting a spell rapidly, protected by her mental protective magic item.

"what?"

Seeing that Martina was prepared for his mental attack, old Victor gave her a deep look. However, just as old Victor waved his cane to escalate the attack, the effect of the spell Martina was chanting appeared. The three green arrows that had struck the wall of the secret chamber exploded with a dazzling green light, blasting a large hole in the wall. Even more terrifying, thick, grayish-white poisonous smoke poured into the secret chamber like a tide through the hole.

Upon seeing the appearance of the grayish-white poisonous smoke, Martina, protected by the azure light barrier, curled her lips into a smug smile, then swallowed the antidote that she had prepared in her spatial ring.

Seeing the grayish-white poisonous smoke pouring into the chamber, old Victor's cloudy old eyes flashed with disdain. He then let out a cold snort, and with that snort, his previously hunched body instantly straightened up, and a golden light emanated from his entire body, making it impossible to look directly at him. The grayish-white poisonous smoke that had poured into the chamber through the hole in the wall was completely purified by the golden light before it could even get close to old Victor.

Seeing that her carefully prepared method had been so easily neutralized by old Victor, Martina's smug smile froze on her face. After a few breaths, realizing that the grayish-white poisonous smoke was entering the secret room at a speed that could not keep up with old Victor's purification speed and would be completely purified in no time, Martina seemed to have made up her mind, and a resolute look appeared on her cold face.

Taking advantage of the fact that old Victor was momentarily distracted by the poisonous smoke, Martina solemnly took out a bottle of light blue potion from her spatial ring. After opening the stopper, she felt a lingering fear as she opened the bottle and took a deep breath of the light blue liquid inside. Then, she decisively swallowed the light blue potion.

After taking the pale blue potion, Martina didn't dare to delay for a moment. She immediately began circulating her meditation technique, seemingly digesting the energy in the potion. Meanwhile, old Victor, whose body was radiating golden light, was clearly affected by the grayish-white poisonous smoke released by Martina, even though the smoke had no effect on him. He could only watch helplessly as Martina quietly digested the pale blue potion.

Martina moved quickly; in just over ten seconds, she seemed to have finished digesting the pale blue potion. The aura emanating from her was more than double what it had just been. At that very moment, Old Victor, whose body was radiating golden light, had completely digested the grayish-white poisonous smoke that had flooded into the secret room.

Old Victor, his golden light now concealed, gripped his cane and looked at Martina, whose aura had surged. A hint of seriousness crept into his cloudy eyes, a stark contrast to his previous composure.

"Martina, I really underestimated you..." Old Victor looked at the empty vial in Martina's hand, devoid of even a drop of pale blue potion, and his gaze became somewhat complicated as he sighed:

The pale blue potion Martina just ingested is called the De Rong Potion. It was created by the great apothecary De Rong during the mid-Byzantine Empire. It is a powerful potion that can make a wizard apprentice's strength double or triple in just a dozen seconds. The effects of the De Rong Potion vary depending on the user's physical condition, but the effects will not last longer than ten minutes and will not last shorter than five minutes!

While the De Rong potion is incredibly potent, its side effects are equally severe. For a day after its effects wear off, the user will be extremely weak, and any exertion of magical power will result in excruciating pain, a pain that cannot be alleviated by painkillers. Furthermore, after consuming the De Rong potion, the user's cultivation level will drop significantly. According to incomplete statistics, the probability of a user falling below their cultivation level after consuming the De Rong potion is as high as 58%!

Simply put, the De Jong potion is a potion that comes at a great cost but can save your life in a critical moment. Every wizard desires to have such a potion, but never wants to have to use it themselves.
