Journey to the witch world

"I know."

Ivan's face turned pale and he smiled bitterly and said, "With such a serious injury, even the best doctor in Tucker Kingdom may be helpless."

"It's just that I'm not willing to..."

As he spoke, a trace of hatred flashed in Ivan's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That damn thief killed my whole family, and I must make him pay the price!"

"Fourth Prince Anthony?"

Enzo had no expression on his face, shook his head and said, "In your current state, you have no chance of revenge."

"Of course...I know this."

A trace of misery appeared on Ivan's face, the luster in his eyes became increasingly dim, and he said extremely weakly: "So... I want to ask you for help..."

"Me?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.

At this time, Ivan raised his hand tremblingly, took out a tattered map from his arms, with a metal key wrapped inside, and said, "Please take this key and look for Grandma's help."

"She is the guardian of the Clark family and will definitely..."

Ivan's voice stopped suddenly, and finally lost his breath completely. Enzo couldn't help but frown slightly.

But looking at the map in Ivan's hand, Enzo narrowed his eyes.

"This is?"

Enzo leaned down and took the map and the key from Ivan's hand, his eyes shining slightly.

The seemingly ordinary key has a hint of energy fluctuation.

Moreover, according to the scan of the chip, this map also has an ancient history, and is even made of a special material.

"Guardian of the Clark family?"

A trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face, and then he recorded the information on the map, feeling slightly hesitant in his heart.

Enzo also knew something about the Clark family.

It is said that this is the oldest family in the Tucker Kingdom. Although it has declined now, it once held a prominent position and even had a longer history than the Tucker Kingdom. It was the first ancestor of the Scarlet World.

But now, this family has been destroyed by the fourth prince Anthony.

Inexplicably, Enzo became interested in the guardian of the Clark family, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"There's still a lot of time anyway."

After Enzo thought for a moment, he made a decision and decided to go to a place according to the instructions on the map.

…

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

As the old king passed away in vain, several princes began to attack each other in order to compete for the throne. As a result, the Tucker Kingdom fell into chaos. Everywhere was shrouded in flames of war, and therefore a large number of bandits were spawned.

On this day, within the Tucker Kingdom.

On the barren land, where the vegetation was lush, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Enzo was riding a wild horse and was moving forward slowly.

In the sky, the sun hangs high.

"In about five days, we will almost reach our destination."

Riding on the horse, Enzo murmured to himself, holding a map in his hand. The mottled lines on it marked a place called the Forest of Blight.

According to the description on the map, the Clark family has a guardian.

Although this guardian fell into a deep sleep many years ago, when the Clark family is in danger, they can rely on the golden key and go to the Withered Forest to seek help from the Clark family's grandmother.

"Aboriginal demigod?"

Looking at the metal key in his hand, a trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face. As the oldest family in the Tucker Kingdom, the Clark family itself belongs to the descendants of the ancient people of the Scarlet World.

At the beginning of the birth of the Scarlet World, the ancestors thrived on this land.

And those beings who absorb the power of gifts from the world not only gain extraordinary power, but are also believed by the ancestors and become existences similar to indigenous gods.

In the multiverse, this is how the world is often formed.

In the early days of the birth of the world, the first creatures received the power of gifts from the world and became extraordinary beings. After a round of fighting, those who finally survived could become indigenous gods.

This is true for both the war ghost world and the forest world.

However, something unexpected happened to the development of the Scarlet World. Due to the arrival of the corpses of gods from outside the territory, a clan of Bloodsuckers was born, thus forming an existence that could compete with the indigenous demigods. After a battle broke out, both sides fell into silence.

Against this background, no indigenous gods were born in the Scarlet World.

Before the end of the ancient era, the most powerful ancient creatures were only demigods, and no creature had broken through the fourth-level limit.

Since getting the map of the Clark family, Enzo has made inferences.

He felt that the so-called guardians of the Clark family should be the demigod creatures who fought with the Bloodsuckers in ancient times. Because they were injured in the battle, they fell into silence and did not wake up for many years.

Now the Clark family has been completely destroyed.

As the last bloodline of the family, Ivan gave the key and map to Enzo before his death, praying for him to find his grandmother and avenge the Clark family, but he did not hold much hope in his heart.

After all, many years have passed.

Even as the last bloodline of the Clark family, Ivan has only heard a little bit about the guardian of the Clark family. To most family members, it is more like a legend.

Enzo thinks everything is real.

Herod!

Just as Enzo was thinking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from ahead. Looking from a distance, he saw dust flying on the ground.

"Gangsta?"

Enzo raised his brows, with a hint of indifference on his face. Due to the chaos in the Tucker Kingdom, gangs have been rampant recently. In the few days of his journey, he has encountered several waves of gangsters.

When the unlucky gangsters saw Enzo alone, they naturally thought they had encountered a fat sheep, but in the end they all died because of it.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves in the distance, Enzo's eyes were full of indifference.

But after waiting for a while, he didn't see the gangs rushing towards him. Enzo looked over and found that the gangs were actually fighting each other.

"A black man eating a black man?"

Enzo suddenly realized that the gangsters in the distance belonged to two gangs, but for unknown reasons, they started fighting in the wilderness.

The fighting in the distance continues.

Enzo was not interested in this. He shook his head and prepared to leave this place and head to a town not far from here to settle down.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a special energy fluctuation.

"This is?"

Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly, looked towards the fighting gangsters, and saw a bald gangster holding a bronze box with his hands.

"interesting!"

Enzo's eyes flickered slightly. He felt the extraordinary quality of the bronze box, so he rode towards the fighting gangsters.

At this time, the two gangs had very little left after the fighting.

As Enzo approached, the bald gangster immediately became vigilant. Just as he was about to call his men to deal with Enzo, a shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

The next moment, the bald gangster's throat was cut by the shadow and died.

"Boss!"

"Big brother is dead!"

When the gangsters around saw the dead bald man, they immediately screamed in surprise. Everyone saw the strange black shadow, and their faces showed horror.

Enzo's face was expressionless, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

After nearly two hundred years of journey as a wizard, as his strength continued to improve, Enzo's attitude towards life became more and more indifferent. Although he still followed his heart, he showed no mercy to these gangsters.

In a matter of moments, dozens of gangsters were killed.

"Devil...devil..."

The last gangster was dying, but his eyes still showed the luster of survival, and he crawled towards the metal box desperately.

Enzo raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to end the other person's life.

"Is it just for this?"

Enzo picked up the bronze box on the ground and looked at it carefully.

This is a cubic metal box with strange symbols on its surface. There is no gap in sight, and there seems to be no way to open it at all.

Enzo threw the bronze box to the ground, then waved his hand to release a burst of fighting spirit.

Ding!

Even the fighting spirit that could be broken by diamonds only left a mark on the bronze box, and it slowly healed in a matter of moments.

Enzo's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It had been a few months since he arrived in the scarlet world, and Enzo's strength had reached the second level. He could fight even against a demigod, but he was unable to break this metal box, which suddenly surprised him.

Although, Enzo's blow just now was not full force.

"It's really interesting."

The corners of Enzo's lips raised slightly, a trace of seriousness appeared on his face, and then he waved his hand to condense a shadow blade, took a deep breath, and waved it fiercely.

Stab!

With a sharp friction sound, the bronze box shattered, and inside was a withered claw, which looked like it should come from some kind of beast.

"Monkey's paw?"

Enzo raised his brows, picked up the monkey's paw on the ground, and felt the strange fluctuations it emitted, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

This shriveled monkey's paw is gray-white in color.

There are five fingers on it, two of which are curled up and the remaining three are in an extended state.

"Put it away first."

Enzo shook his head. Although he could feel the extraordinaryness of the monkey's paw, he didn't know what it represented, so he put the monkey's paw away.

After the interlude, Enzo continued on his way.

According to the scarlet world map that Enzo obtained before leaving the southern border, there is a place called Monkey Tail Town ahead.

Enzo came to Houwei Town and planned to settle here now.

Not far away, a small town appeared in front of us.

Surrounded by a Gobi desert, the scorching sun scorched the earth, the wind blew up, and bursts of sand swept over the cactus.

"Welcome guests to Houwei Town."

At the entrance of the town, an uncle sitting on a rock greeted Enzo warmly.

Enzo nodded slightly as a greeting.

Afterwards, he went straight into Houwei Town. The location here is remote and the surrounding environment is also very harsh. It is considered a desert area, so it breeds many gangsters. With the recent chaos, it has become even more dangerous.

Not far away is a tavern.

Pushing open the shutter door in the middle, Enzo walked straight into the tavern. In the small space, there were several tables surrounded by men drinking and chatting.

"Have you heard? Recently, people from the Red Wine Club discovered a good thing near the mouth of the desert!"

"Gold? Jewelry?"

"Tch! Gold is nothing. Haven't you heard of the legend about the monkey's paw?"

The men's chat attracted Enzo's attention.

With something in his mind, he found a seat by the window and sat down.

"The legend of the monkey's paw? Is it the cursed object?"

"That's right!"

"Isn't that just a story?"

"Hey! I knew you'd heard of it."

"Of course, who grew up in Monkey Tail Town has never heard of the legend of the Monkey's Paw?"

The man said, taking out a claw-shaped ornament from his arms, and chuckled, "I also have one here. What's so strange about it?"

Across the way, another man looked dismissively.

He casually knocked off his companion's monkey paw ornaments, and the man said mysteriously, "This thing of yours is fake, but I heard that what Chijiu will get is the real thing."

As they spoke, the two lowered their voices and began to whisper.

Through their conversation, Enzo vaguely learned the story about the monkey's paw.

Legend has it that there is a magical monkey's paw in this world. Anyone who gets it can make a wish as long as he leaves blood on it. If he doesn't make a wish, the fingers of the monkey's paw will curl up.

But correspondingly, people who use the monkey's paw will also be subject to strange curses, and while achieving their wishes, they will eventually die.

In the history of the Scarlet World, two people once obtained the monkey's paw. The former became the richest man in the world, but lost everything in a fire.

The other person is even more legendary.

He was originally a knight. After receiving the monkey's paw, he made a wish to become a king. With the help of the monkey's paw, he actually became a king and even established a kingdom no less than the Kingdom of Tucker.

However, as the legend goes, using a monkey's paw to make a wish will also bring a curse. The Holy Knight who established a huge kingdom eventually destroyed his country and died, and no one in his family was spared.

From then on, the legend about the monkey's paw spread. The cursed monkey's paw was obtained by a wise man. He restrained his inner greed and sealed the monkey's paw instead of making a wish.

"The wishing monkey's paw?"

Enzo raised his brows, with a strange look on his face. In the multiverse, there are too many items with the ability to grant wishes, but there are often certain restrictions.

For example, Enzo in his heyday could also create a wish-making monkey's paw and use the magic power of the monkey's paw to fulfill wishes, but the premise is that the wish cannot exceed Enzo's own capabilities.

"It's like a deal with the devil..."

Enzo murmured to himself that in the multiverse, the easiest way to make a wish is undoubtedly to make a deal with the devil, but similarly, if your wish is beyond the devil's ability, the deal will naturally not be achieved.

"try it?"

Enzo thought for a moment, took out the monkey's paw from his arms, dripped the blood, and said his wish: "Give me a glass of beer!"

The originally gray-white monkey's paw began to glow slowly, and as one of the three fingers curled up, a glass of beer appeared in front of Enzo.

Looking at the wine glass in front of him, an expression of interest appeared on Enzo's face.

"Looks...not bad!"
