Werewolf wizard

As Su Nan and the others spoke, the villagers of Grady Village noticed their presence and glared at them, gathering menacingly.

Among these villagers, many of whom looked like consumptive ghosts, were three people dressed slightly better, with special family crests on their cuffs. Su Nan sensed slight magical power from these people, and one of them was even a Second-Class Wizard Apprentice.

The Second-Class Wizard Apprentice looked at Su Nan warily, feeling that this group was unfathomable. He couldn't see through them at all.

This Second-Class Wizard Apprentice said cautiously, "Grady Village is the territory of our two wizard families. What do you want here?"

"I can see that you are also wizards. But our Juerber family and the Locke family next door are not to be trifled with. We have the advantage of numbers here."

"Everyone, step back and do not clash with them."

The villagers of Grady Village were used to being tyrannical in the mountains. This was the first time they had heard someone from the Juerber family telling them not to clash with others.

Su Nan ignored him directly and walked to the well, looking down. As expected, the well led directly to the wizard ruins of the Golden Wizard.

The Second-Class Wizard Apprentice of the Juerber family looked at Su Nan nervously. When he saw Su Nan looking directly at the underground passage connected to the well, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"You really are here for the Golden City."

The next moment, he suddenly raised a special stone statue in his hand and pointed it at Su Nan. The statue had many hands, and its head was covered with a red cloth.

As the Wizard Apprentice of the Juerber family chanted a curse towards Su Nan, he suddenly screamed. The exposed skin on his body began to develop red rashes.

A group of villagers quickly surrounded him, helping to hold down his hands that were frantically scratching his skin.

"Ah, you can't scratch the rashes, otherwise the head-lowering curse will become more and more serious, and eventually you will die from suffocation, sir."

"The rash head-lowering curse, shouldn't it be applied to those outsiders? Why does the head-lowering master family's lord have this on his body?"

Su Nan raised an eyebrow. His magic pressure was 503, yet the other party, a mere Wizard Apprentice with a mental power of only 10, actually used a head-lowering curse on him... He really wasn't afraid of death.

Although head-lowering magic is powerful, it is also extremely easy to backfire. At this moment, the vengeful spirit didn't dare to attack him directly, so it attacked its master instead.

In short, the head-lowering curse went out of control.

Su Nan walked over, and the villagers fearfully made way. Su Nan squatted down to carefully examine the Wizard Apprentice, confirming one thing.

That is, they all had the Golden Wizard's head-lowering curse on them.

So, everyone in this village had already been cursed. They couldn't live to old age at all, because their lifespan was being used to pay for the Golden Wizard's gold.

However, these people were being collected from, not as severely as the original owner's father and old Baron Tarik... Su Nan glanced at the surrounding villagers.

So that's how it is. The earliest ancestors of the two wizard families must have been cursed. Then, they chose some villagers to help them repay the debt.

That is, they became wizards who took out high-interest loans, and then charged high-interest rates from mortals, forming an industrial chain.

Perhaps the ancestors of these two wizard families still hoped to gradually conquer the wizard ruins, but that was just a fantasy.

The ancestors of these two wizard families probably never became First-Ring Wizards. In this entire family residence, there was no one who could withstand his magic pressure.

Then, how could a mere group of Wizard Apprentices conquer the ruins of a Half-Step Second-Ring Wizard, who might even possess part of the Tower of Reincarnation's inheritance?

Therefore, they could only collect a small amount of things from the outer areas of the ruins every year.

Outside the crowd, a large group of Wizard Apprentices quickly arrived, obviously from both wizard families. Su Nan directly crushed them with his magic pressure, causing the faces of the two family heads to change drastically.

Then, they all showed respect to Su Nan.

Clan Leader Corbel, was a First-Class Wizard Apprentice without magic pressure. The clan leader of the Locke family, was also at about the same level.

Their life levels were only forty years old, but they were already old and decrepit, and needed the support of their young clansmen to walk properly.

With the support of their clansmen, Clan Leader Corbel and the clan leader of the Locke family bowed to Su Nan, and they looked at Su Nan's young face with envy.

The clan leader of the Locke family said, "You must be a formal wizard. Your power is too terrifying. To be honest, we... can't conquer the secret realm here at all. There is a Golden City underground, full of treasures, but as long as you touch anything inside, you will age rapidly like me."

"We can occasionally harvest some spell inheritances inside. Our two families have been stationed here in a competitive and cooperative relationship."

"Now that a formal wizard has come, perhaps you can solve the tragic fate of our two families."

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the clansmen, Clan Leader Corbel said to Su Nan, "In the eyes of outsiders, we may seem like two glorious local tyrants in the mountains. But in reality, we are all cursed wretches."

"Everyone, as long as our family leaves these mountains, we will all die of old age within a month."

"Everyone, we have lived here generation after generation, studying head-lowering magic, searching for ruins, do you think we are... cough cough cough... are we really greedy for gold?"

"When you are in your twenties, you don't understand, and you think that the gold you can get without working every day is a blessing, and that head-lowering magic is your skill."

"But when you reach forty, you will age rapidly and die within a year or two. We search for head-lowering spell inheritances, just to break this curse. We search for that ruin, just to find a way to solve this problem of our family."

"Alas, but we are becoming more and more unable to do anything."

"Even with many methods, the people of our two families can only live to forty-three years old at most."

Clan Leader Corbel glanced darkly at the ordinary villagers around him.

These people were the solution that their families had come up with.

Otherwise, the people of their two families probably wouldn't live past twenty-five.

For thousands of years, their two families had been restricted to this place, accomplishing nothing.

Clan Leader Corbel sighed to Su Nan, "Our ancestors were just two ordinary Third-Class Wizard Apprentices. Perhaps they shouldn't have been greedy for that gold from the beginning. Now... it has led to only us being targeted."

Su Nan denied, "No, you are increasingly unable to fill the appetite of that ruin. In fact, outside these mountains, some cracks leading to that Golden City have already appeared. Others have also fallen into the trap."

"This place of yours... is at best just an ordinary entrance to the Golden City. The Golden City's appetite is far more than that. It is probably still trying to replicate your situation in other places, and it is likely that it has already replicated it. It's just that your side is the most successful, and has been preserved until now."

When Clan Leader Corbel and the clan leader of the Locke family heard Su Nan's words, their eyes revealed incomparable despair. So, the efforts of their families, generation after generation, were just like ants trying to shake a tree!

The next moment, they placed their hopeful gazes on Su Nan and the others.
