Within the Feylan Family, more than half a month had passed, but the Royal Family and the Carlo Family had yet to come again.
The missionary and the cursed Duke Will had been locked in the dungeon of the Knights’ Cavalry.
Duke Will, who was dressed like a gentleman, had disheveled hair and was covered in the marks of Field’s torture. Field, who had his limbs broken, needed to vent his anger every day. The reason Duke Will was still alive until now was because of the curse that Edward had planted in his body.
On the other side, the missionary was given a quick death by Edward after being tortured and revealing everything he wanted to know.
Edward walked into the dark dungeon.
Over the past half a month, the system had finished analyzing the inscriptions. Now, he had already drawn four more inscriptions. After finishing the last four, he would be able to advance to a Rank 2 Wizard.
This process would take at least two months.
In the cell, Will, who had been tortured beyond recognition, spoke in a weak, hoarse voice the moment he saw Edward: “Edward, kill me! Don’t let that lunatic torture me anymore!”
“It’s not that simple to kill you. You have to live.” As he said that, Edward smiled faintly, “If your Carlo family wants me to hand you to them but finds out that you’re dead, wouldn’t my Feylan Family be doomed?”
Duke Will, who was already in a daze, stared at him with a pale face.
He watched as Edward’s figure gradually faded away, he had already left the place.
Through the missionary, Edward roughly knew all the hidden forces of this empire.
There was the royal pontiff.
The Archbishop was also a special existence who used mysterious powers, but it did not seem as exaggerated as he thought.
At most, he would perform some hypnosis and brainwashing to better consolidate his position, which was why he had a very high position in the Levi Empire.
Now that the fact that he possessed supernatural powers had not been exposed, the Archbishop naturally did not know of his uniqueness.
Just as Edward was thinking, a white mist entered his vision.
Before he could get confused, the servant guarding the dungeon hurriedly came out to report the situation.
Duke Will bit his tongue and killed himself in prison.
Killed himself by biting his tongue?
Could it be that when he was drawing the inscription just now, the control of the curse power had loosened?
At this moment, the white mist was getting closer and closer. It was so close that he could already see the human face on the white mist.
It was Duke Will.
This was his special passive ability: Spirit Vision.
After not using it for a long time, he almost forgot that he had such a thing.
This characteristic was necessary for a Necromancer, and he had obtained it through the Snake of Curses.
In this world, it was said that snakes were the scepters that guided the spirits of the dead.
And this Spirit Vision might be unique to snakes.
The white mist was maintained well, and Will’s facial expression could be seen clearly. He stared at Edward with a stiff expression.
[System prompt: According to analysis, the appearance of the vengeful spirit is a special condition. When the vengeful spirit was alive, it was subjected to inhumane torture and was infinitely close to having a mental breakdown. As a result, the energy within the body merged with the natural elements.]
After listening to the prompt, Edward looked at Will’s ghost, who had been following him. This was the favorite thing of Necromancers, and perhaps he could make a deal with them in the future. A ghost with the strength of a Sky Knight was naturally worth a lot.
According to the knowledge of traveling wizards, a transparent glass product could be used to store spirits.
With that thought, Edward quickly got his servants to bring over a palm-sized bottle. Under the guidance of the mysterious power, Duke Will’s ghost was successfully locked inside.
“This is a rare resource. In the future, if we meet a Necromancer, we can exchange for some decent items!”
Under Edward’s guidance, the ghost showed signs of breaking free, but in the end, it could not resist Edward’s pull.
He was obediently sealed into the glass bottle.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.
The Royal Family and the Carlo Family did not make any moves during this period, but it was this feeling of impending storm that caused the entire Feylan Family to panic.
Everyone knew that the Royal Family was preparing a scheme that they were confident in succeeding.
How could they get rid of the Feylan Family without alerting the other Dukes?
If they were desperate, they would send troops.
The other families in power would also feel worried and lose their trust in the empire.
This was not beneficial to the empire’s development.
In this month, Edward had completed the seventh inscription, and was about to become a Rank 2 Wizard.
[System prompt: Your spiritual power is slowly increasing. The results are positive. There are no mutations on your body.]
“My spiritual power is enough!”
Edward opened his eyes and used his mysterious power to move a thick book in front of him.
Under his guidance, the book floated up.
Compared to when he first completed Spirit Enlightenment, his control over it was much stronger now.
Now, it was time to train in wizard spells!
[System prompt: Five spells that are most compatible with the host’s strength have been detected: Night Stealth, Shadow Control, Thorn Vine, Blazing Fireball, and Corrosive Water.]
[System prompt: This channeling process will be recorded by the system. After that, we will analyze the spell route and the mysterious channel to test if we can achieve instant casting.]
Edward gradually understood the system’s notification.
In other words, activating a spell required arranging the sounds of the inscriptions, which corresponded to the channels where the mysterious power flowed through the body.
If the system kept track of these specific channels, Edward could save time for incantations before casting the spell.
He would let the system replace the incantation and allow the mysterious channel to flow directly.
Before becoming a Rank 2 Wizard, he could only use the most basic spells, such as the five basic spells that the system had given him.
After becoming a Rank 2 Wizard, a few spells with true destructive power would be activated.
By now, the Feylan Family and the Royal Family were already facing off against each other.
Even Edward did not know what the Royal Family would do next.
Being beaten up passively was not Edward’s style.
He wanted to uproot them before the Royal Family made the first move, and change this place to the Feylan Empire!
After everything was settled, he would head to the depths of the Endless Sea to find the paradise of the wizards, the center of this world.
The great land of the Central Continent!
For the sake of dealing with the Royal Family, he had to learn some mysterious spells to protect himself!
