Chapter 264 - 179: The Death God of the Wizard and Animal Card Divination_1
Within the Witch’s Graveyard, Hugo Russo was originally in the process of concocting a Magic Potion when he suddenly paused to lend an ear, hearing the voices of his ancestors trying to converse with him.
Meanwhile, his hand trembled, accidentally dropping an extra crocus into the crucible. Instantly, the Brainwashing Potion in the crucible became useless, and the green liquid started bubbling continuously. Within seconds, a violent wind began to blow above it, causing the temperature in the vicinity of the crucible to plummet rapidly.
If Hugo hadn’t retracted quickly, his left hand, which was resting on the crucible, would have been frozen solid.
In the crucible, the liquid had turned into an ice block, making the potion completely useless; even extracting the remaining usable essence from it was impossible.
Hugo was furious. "Mother, what are you trying to do..."
He heard a message from his ancestors, its content quickly leaving his face ashen, "What? There’s danger near our town of Kappa? Something is lurking near Kappa Town and, moreover, this thing is marked with traces of Ash magic unique to Kappa Town?"
Hugo realized that his ancestors were warning him of a traitor in the Witch’s Graveyard.
Anguished, he moved to the shelf on his left, retrieving a stack of animal cards. He closed his eyes and drew six cards from the stack, laying them face down on the rough wooden tabletop.
He murmured a few spells under his breath.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere around him changed, as if some force had descended.
He drew three of the cards, flipping each open. The first was of a proud, chest-thrusting lion, symbolizing authority and strength; the second was of a cuckoo bird with alternating grey and white feathers, symbolizing harvest and abundance; the third was an elephant, symbolizing peace and sainthood.
