In front is a pitch-black metal fence with multiple runes engraved on it.
In the room behind, a human-shaped monster two meters tall was locked, with a chaotic aura all over his body, and a roar of rage, and twelve metal rune chains were bound around him.
"This is..." Enzo couldn't help but take a step back.
Even though he was imprisoned by the Rune Dungeon, there was still a terrifying energy fluctuation on the human-shaped monster, and the chaotic and evil aura made his scalp tingle.
"This is my only child, Gumondo."
A trace of sadness rose in Gustav's eyes and sighed, ": Because he practiced the forbidden art [evil ghosts are plagued by him], his soul split and his body is occupied by evil spirits."
"Forbidden Technique?" Enzo's heart thumped.
The so-called forbidden art is a spell recognized by the wizard world and is not suitable for wizard practice due to certain defects.
This type of spell is often powerful, but it is not easy to control. If there is a slight mistake during the cultivation process, it may cause serious damage to the practitioner or even cause death.
"Many years ago, in an ancient ruin, Senior Gu Mengdu obtained the witchcraft model of forbidden art [evil ghosts]!"
Byron slowly spoke and said.
"At that time, Senior Gu Mengduo had just been promoted to a third-level apprentice. Out of confidence in himself, he began to practice [evil ghosts]. According to the method in the witchcraft model, he incorporated many evil spirits into his body. He originally planned to form the evil ghost mark, but due to some mistakes, the soul collapsed and his body was occupied by evil spirits!"
"Is the end of practicing the forbidden art?" Enzo's heart arose.
In order to seek strength, wizards practice forbidden art, once they fail, the ending is often a fall. Even those who survive by chance will have to pay a huge price. Just like Gu Mengdu, their bodies are swallowed by evil spirits and imprisoned like monsters.
"After Gumundo failed to practice the forbidden technique, he was locked up here by me." Gustav spoke slowly and said, ": Since then, I have tried many methods to solve the sequelae of [evil ghosts], but I have never succeeded."
"Until thirty years ago, in an ancient book, I discovered an ancient potion."
"Ancient potion?" Enzo was a little confused.
"Not bad! The potion that existed in the Second Age!" Gustav nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, ": In that era, the wizard clan had just defeated the gods and became the master of the world. Potions also ushered in its heyday. An ancient wizard developed a potion called [Tear of the Holy Spirit], which is said to have the effect of purifying all evil."
Enzo nodded in his heart.
The main reason for Gu Mengduo's soul split is that the evil spirits in his body are caused by it. If the evil spirits can be purified, it will naturally restore him to normal.
"Since you have learned about [Tears of the Holy Spirit], why not use it for Senior Gumondo?" Enzo asked hesitantly.
"Things are not that simple." On the side, Byron shook his head slightly and said solemnly, ": There were potions recipes in ancient times, and it was difficult to refine them today. After countless years, many materials have even disappeared!"
"So that's it." Enzo suddenly realized.
As Byron said, from ancient times to the present, the world has gone through countless years, and many materials have disappeared in the long river of history. It is almost impossible to install an ancient potion.
"However, although some materials are extinct, it is not hopeless to configure [Tears of the Holy Spirit]." Byron spoke slowly.
"You mean... use some substitutes?" Enzo's eyes moved.
The configuration of the potion is not the same. Sometimes it is often a flash of inspiration. In the overseas archipelago, Enzo refines the [Purple Potion] based on the formula of the [Moon Spirit Secret Medicine].
Although that kind of potion cannot even reach the low-level sequence, it can only be regarded as an ordinary mundane potion.
Ancient potions were difficult to complete due to lack of materials, but some potions would choose to use substitutes, based on the formula of ancient potions, and through a large number of experiments, they developed new potions.
Although this is the case, the probability of success is very low, and most of the new potions developed are not as good as those of ancient potions, but as long as they can retain one-tenth of the effect, it is worth trying, and the Potions Association also encourages this.
"Yes, you're very smart!"
Gustav clapped his hands, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and said, ": After thirty years of research, most of the materials that have been extinct in the formula [Tear of the Holy Spirit] have been found as a substitute, and only a small part of the materials are irreplaceable."
"It is not easy to replicate an ancient potion."
Byron shook his head slowly and sighed, ": If I were given twenty years, I might have the opportunity to create a brand new [Tear of the Holy Spirit], but unfortunately, I have not had twenty years."
Enzo was shocked and raised his head suddenly.
"As a third-level apprentice, I have lived for 100 years." Byron looked calm and spread his hands, saying, "If I cannot be promoted to a formal wizard, I will have a lifespan of up to 5-10 years. It is obvious that I cannot complete [Tears of the Holy Spirit] in such a short time."
"Senior Byron... are you 100 years old?" Enzo opened his mouth wide, surprised.
"Haha, don't be surprised." Byron shook his head and said in a low voice, "I had embarked on a wizard journey 80 years ago. Because I only had one star talent, it took me 50 years to become a third-level apprentice."
"So that's the case." Enzo nodded slightly.
"Forget it, let's talk about the serious business." Byron took a deep breath and said solemnly, ": [Tears of the Holy Spirit] is the only way to solve the sequelae of forbidden surgery. In recent times, I have been preparing to be promoted to a formal wizard. If it succeeds, everything will be fine, but if it fails, someone must take over me to complete it!"
"So, what the senior said before was to let me take over you and complete [Tears of the Holy Spirit]?" Enzo's eyes flashed.
"Yes, that's it." Byron nodded and said in a deep voice, ": With your potion talent, you are the most suitable candidate for this matter. The wizard world has always believed in the principle of equivalent exchange. If you agree to this matter, you can not only take away the patent rights of [burning potion], but also become a formal disciple of Gustav!"
"This is the specific thing..." Byron spread his palms and stared at Enzo.
"Are you completing the [Tear of the Holy Spirit]?" Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: I am willing to be a disciple of Gustav and do my best to complete the [Tear of the Holy Spirit] potion!"
