Chapter 628 Betrayer

A flash of relief flashed in the young man's eyes.

Then, he tilted his head and lost his breath. Before he died, he was still holding his wife's body tightly in his arms, as if he was still feeling guilty.

Enzo took a deep breath and continued moving forward.

It has been more than a hundred years since he embarked on the wizard's journey. Enzo has experienced too many things. He originally thought that his heart was as strong as iron and would not be affected by anything.

But now, facing the terror of the restricted area of ​​​​the abyss, Enzo could not suppress the anger in his heart.

The entire mechanical tower has been enveloped by the curse of the Gluttony Demon. Strictly speaking, this place has become a space similar to a cursed castle, and everyone inside is affected by the curse to varying degrees.

Including Bourne, the owner of the Mechanical Tower.

At the same time, he was also the most severely cursed person. The more Enzo walked toward the top of the tower, the stronger he could feel the aura of the abyss, which meant that he was getting closer and closer to Bourne's direction.

Not long after, Enzo finally came to a room.

When he pushed open the door to the room, he saw a terrifying scene. In the dark room, there was almost only one head left of Bourne. His face was extremely pale, but his eyes shone with determination.

And around him, hungry ghosts were looking at him with eager eyes.

Trapped in the mechanical tower for half a month, Bourne was always faced with the curse of the abyss. The nature of the hungry ghosts around him was somewhat similar to the cursed spirits. They looked at Bourne greedily, eager to tear flesh and blood from his body.

And this is actually the case.

With the ability of Bourne's first-level wizard, he cannot escape the curse of the Gluttonous Demon. Therefore, the only way to resist the curse is to tear the flesh and blood from his body to suppress the hungry ghosts around him.

In half a month, Bourne's flesh and blood had been almost exhausted.

Now, all he has left is a head and magic crystals wrapped around blood vessels. Even with the wizard's powerful physique, he is already on the verge of death in this state. Fortunately, Bourne is a mechanical wizard and can still rely on mechanical organs to sustain him. life.

Until this moment, the door was finally opened.

Bourne slowly opened his eyes and saw a black-robed wizard. A trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He didn't know whether the visitor was a fallen wizard or support from the academy.

"It's really embarrassing."

Enzo sighed and shook his head. Bourne's current state seemed extremely embarrassing. But fortunately, the magic crystal and head were still there, so his life was not in danger. What's more, Bourne was originally a mechanical wizard, and his body had already gone through a lot of Modification.

At the same time, the hungry ghosts around also noticed Enzo.

They turned their heads, with a greedy luster in their eyes, and without hesitation, they swarmed in Enzo's direction, letting out a low roar.

"snort!"

Enzo snorted coldly, and a dim light floated around his body. In an instant, he killed the faces of the hungry ghosts attacking him.

Not far away, a trace of surprise flashed in Bourne's eyes.

The hungry ghosts in the mechanical tower are different from ordinary hungry ghosts. Their nature is similar to cursed spirits. If the curse cannot be broken, these hungry ghosts can be resurrected no matter how many times they are killed.

In the early days of the Mechanical Tower's curse, Bourne also tried to resist.

He killed all the hungry ghosts at least ten times, but it didn't take long for those hungry ghosts to appear again soon. Bourne deduced in his heart that these hungry ghosts may come from the hunger desire in his heart, and are the strange manifestation of the curse.

But now, the hungry ghosts were wiped out again.

But Bourne could feel that the curse around him had disappeared. It was not cracked through analysis and calculation, but was destroyed by pure power.

"What kind of strength is this?"

A trace of fear flashed in Bourne's eyes. The source of the curse in the Abyss restricted area came from the Gluttony God, one of the Seven Deadly Sins of the Abyss. That was a legendary sixth-level life form. It would be almost impossible to break his curse violently.

"Second-level wizard?"

Bourne thought in his mind and said secretly, "No! At least it is a third-level wizard. Even the head of the Campbell family cannot break the curse of the abyss restricted area. Unless the third-level wizard takes action, it will never be so easy."

The head of the Campbell family is a second-level wizard.

But even he was unable to break the curse of the Gluttonous Demon. In this forbidden area of ​​​​the abyss, he could not even protect himself. The only hope was to spread the news to the outside world and ask for help from the academy.

"Support from the Phantom Crows?"

There was a glimmer of light in Bourne's eyes, but then he became a little confused and said to himself, "Why do I feel like I've seen it there before?"

"Long time no see, Bourne."

At this time, Enzo had already spoken and walked straight towards Bourne, looking at Bourne who only had his head and magic crystal left.

"Who are you……"

A trace of thought flashed across Bourne's face, and a memory from long ago flashed across his face. He immediately widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Enzo!?"

"Oh my God, you are still alive?"

A wry smile appeared on Enzo's face. After leaving the wizarding world for a hundred years, almost everyone thought they were dead. In fact, this was indeed the case. Generally speaking, few people who disappeared for a hundred years could return to the wizarding world again.

Bourne's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Let's talk about old times later."

Enzo shook his head, looked around and said, "With your current situation, you'd better find a way to solve it first. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Bourne thought for a moment and said, "How are your biology and mechanical engineering?"

"Do you want me to help you with mechanical transformation?" Enzo understood what Bourne meant. Now he only has one head left. If he wants to recover, he first needs to create a new body.

"Yes, I have plenty of materials in my tower."

Bourne nodded. As a mechanical wizard, he had a lot of materials that could be used for mechanical transformation in his tower. He even had a lot of spare mechanical bodies. Enzo only needed to help him assemble them.

"No problem." Enzo said.

Half an hour later, Bourne stood up in a liquid nutrition chamber. Looking at the bionic limbs that were the same as the flesh, a satisfied smile appeared on his pale face.

"Your skills are really good." Bourne sighed.

Then, he jumped out of the liquid nutrition chamber, walked to a mirror, and looked at his brand new body. The main body of this body was made of special metal, and the energy reactor on the chest was connected to the magic crystal.

Although it is incomparable with the previous body, after this mechanical transformation, Bourne's strength has been restored to at least 50%. Next, he only needs to wait for everything to be over, and then slowly carry out the transformation.

"What happened in Xingtong Kingdom?"

After rescuing Bourne, Enzo's goal for this trip has been completed, but he is not planning to leave yet, so he asked: "The fallen of Skull Castle are operating in the Star Pass Kingdom. Didn't the Campbell family report it to the academy?" "

"Oh! Everything was so sudden."

A hint of helplessness appeared on Bourne's face, and he frowned and said, "Skull Castle's operations in the Dark Territory have always been very secretive. No one knows that their base camp is actually established in the Kingdom of Xingtong."

"This incident in the Abyss Forbidden Zone is not that simple!"

"The Fallen of Skull Castle have been planning for a long time. They seem to be planning to rely on the power of the Gluttony Demon to promote a group of second-level wizards in the organization to third-level or even fourth-level levels."

Hearing Bourne's words, Enzo frowned slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Bourne spoke again, shook his head, and said in a solemn tone: "The operation of Skull Castle can be so smooth, not only because of their own strength, but also with the help of the traitors of the Campbell family!"

"Traitor of the Campbell family?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.

Bourne's face was gloomy and he said, "Yes, although I don't know who it is, I can confirm that there is a degenerate in the Campbell family. It is with the help of the traitor that Skeleton Castle can successfully reduce the Xingtong Kingdom to a forbidden area in the abyss!"

"I see." Enzo muttered to himself.

The little doubts in my heart before were finally answered. The Xingtong Kingdom is not weak among the kingdoms in the Dark Realm. It also has a wizard family sitting at its head. The leader of the Campbell family is a second-level wizard.

Skull Castle is just an organization of fallen wizards that everyone shouts about.

Why were they able to successfully launch the Abyss Restricted Area in the Xingtong Kingdom? It seemed that in addition to the sacrifice to the Demon God of Gluttony, they also had the help of traitors, and the traitors came from the Campbell family of the Xingtong Kingdom.

"Any inferences?" Enzo asked.

Bourne pondered for a moment, then hesitated and said, "No one among the wizards of the Campbell family is likely to betray the family. However, there is a first-level wizard whose life is approaching and may go to extremes."

"Who?" Enzo asked.

"Joy Campbell!"

Bourne took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "This Campbell is the oldest official wizard in the family. If calculated according to seniority, he is even the uncle of the clan leader. He is taking the path of a guardian wizard, but after four attacks, he is They all ended in failure, and if nothing else happens, they only have more than ten years of life left."

As he spoke, Bourne sighed and said quietly.

"This Lord Joey has always been highly respected in the family. I was even favored by him when I first joined the Campbell family. I really don't want him to be the one who betrayed the family."

Enzo's eyes flashed.

Listening to Bourne's words, Joey Campbell should not be an extremely evil person, but as a first-level wizard who is about to end his life, he is indeed likely to do extreme things, which is also the weakness of human nature.

In the wizarding world, the death of a guardian means the return of the true spirit.

Strictly speaking, the return of the soul to the origin of the wizarding world means losing memory and everything. Even if it may be reincarnated later, it will be a brand new life and has little to do with the original soul.

Even wizards can't resist the fear of death.

According to Bourne's concept, most of the wizards in the Campbell family have a bright future. They have no reason to betray the family and cooperate with fallen wizards. Perhaps only Joey, who is about to end his life, has a chance.

However, Bourne didn't want to believe that the gentle and friendly wizard Joe would betray the family.

"Wizard Joey?"

Enzo murmured to himself, looked at Bourne, and said, "Do you have anything belonging to Wizard Joey on you? Anything is fine."

For fourth-level wizards, the rules can be used to go back in time.

But if you want to check something that happened in the past, it is undoubtedly much easier with a medium. Enzo wants to confirm whether Wizard Joey is a betrayer, so naturally he needs an item that belongs to him.

Bourne thought for a moment and nodded.

Then, he took out a brooch and handed it to Enzo and said, "This is a gift from Mr. Joey when I married Judith. It is a magical item made by himself."

"very good."

Enzo nodded, placed the brooch in his palm, and then began to use the power of the rules to rewind the time frame.

In his mind, dark images kept flashing.

The long river of time seemed to appear in Enzo's heart, and gradually, the figure of Wizard Joey appeared. From the birth of this Wizard Joey, three hundred years of experience replayed in Enzo's mind like a movie.

"Wait a minute, this is it!"

Suddenly, Enzo's eyes flashed. In the picture of Wizard Joey, he saw a scene from a year ago. In a dark underground church, Wizard Joey held an oil lamp and muttered something.

On the ground, there is the mark of the abyss and the altar of the Gluttony Demon God.

"Is it really him?"

Enzo raised his eyebrows. Just as Burne deduced, the traitor who appeared in the Campbell family was really the Joey wizard. He prayed with the Abyss Mark to pray for the power of the Abyss Demon God.

The copper lamp in Joey's hand is a magical item that captures souls.

It turns out that before the start of the Abyss Restricted Area in Xingtong Kingdom, Joey had already begun to continuously collect souls and sacrifice to the abyss to gain life span. Such behavior was obviously a fallen wizard.

Suddenly, another figure appeared in the picture.

Enzo's pupils suddenly shrank, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. The figure of the silver-haired young man also came to the underground church, turning a blind eye to Wizard Joey's behavior. It was obvious that he had already known it.

"Frank wizard?"

Enzo frowned slightly. Before going to the restricted area of ​​​​the abyss, he had conducted some investigations on the Campbell family, so he clearly knew that the current leader of the Campbell family was Frank, the second-level wizard.

And the head of the Campbell family actually appeared in the underground church.

This seemed to mean that Frank had also fallen, and even the abyss restricted area of ​​Xingtong Kingdom was planned by him. When Enzo saw this picture, he couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart.

If Wizard Joey's downfall is the fear of death.

Then the behavior of Frank Wizard is even more unforgivable. The lifespan of a second-level wizard is at least a thousand years. Frank Wizard's life has just begun, but he chose to join the Abyss Demon God and betrayed the wizard civilization in pursuit of power.

"How stupid!"

Enzo couldn't help but sneer in his heart. As a second-level wizard, Frank Wizard is not too old among second-level wizards. It can be said that he has a bright future. Choosing to seek refuge in the abyss is undoubtedly a very stupid decision.
