Volume 1 Chapter 108 The Ultimate Killing Machine
Thor of the Teleportation Scroll is aware of this, and his knowledge comes from a book about magical items.
Strictly speaking, the real name of this scroll is 'random teleportation scroll', and there are two types of teleportation, one is short-distance teleportation and the other is long-distance teleportation. Short-haul ones are expensive, long-haul ones are cheap.
Theoretically, if you want to escape from enemies and dangers, the farther away the better, but why is it cheaper to travel long distances than short distances?
After the short-distance random teleportation scroll is torn apart, the radius of effect will cover the size of an ordinary town, with the caster as the center. This means that if you tear a scroll in the center of the city, it will most likely appear somewhere in the city at random.
But long-distance scrolls are a bit of a problem, and their coverage may already cover entire continents or beyond.
This means that once you tear open a teleportation scroll, you have no idea where you're going to be. It is possible on the edge of a cliff, in the depths of the sea, in a swamp, in the depths of a desert, or even in a murderous tribe of orcs.
Therefore, people who are truly knowledgeable often choose short-distance teleportation scrolls as a means of escaping.
Of course, short-distance teleportation scrolls are not necessarily invincible, and there is still a small problem of probability or luck.
Thor once saw a joke in a book called 'The Tragedy of Magic'.
At that time, there was a person who was surrounded by many enemies, and then he decisively tore the short teleportation and escaped, but the luck was very negative, and the next moment he appeared directly in front of the enemy, and before he could react, the enemy raised his hand and wiped his neck.
Ivan was lucky, after the scroll was torn, he should have appeared somewhere or in some alleyway in Grey Veil, which was the source of Thor's trouble.
Thor wasn't worried that he would come to him, but he was afraid that Evan would fall into complete madness because of the death of his men, and Erin might be in danger. So after leaving the mayor's mansion, Thor immediately went to Erin's house.
Theoretically, Evan had only seen Erin's appearance, and it was unlikely that he would be able to find out Erin's residence in a hurry based on Erin's appearance alone.
But in order to eliminate the slightest possibility, Thor still came here as soon as possible, he wanted to find Erin as soon as possible and let her and her family hide first.
Standing in front of Erin's house, Thor knocked on the door.
Guilt, sadness...... , all kinds of emotions rolled in Thor's heart. Now that Covier was still sleeping in the cemetery, he really didn't know how to face Erin or her family members like her father and mother.
There was a knock on the door for a while, but there was no response, and Thor took two steps back, not seeing a light in the room.
Looks like people aren't there?
While breathing a sigh of relief, a hint of suspicion appeared in Thor's heart.
After carefully combing through today's timeline, he returned to the grave keeper's hut at almost noon to see the clues left by Shogoth, and rushed to the ranger's hut and Shogues came back with Kovier's body in the afternoon.
Counting Erin's self in the afternoon, after she tricked Erin away with vicious language, it was already night, but it was not yet late at night.
Theoretically, there should be someone in Erin's family at this point in time, even if a family member is not there, it shouldn't be alone, so where have she and her family gone?
After guessing for a while, Thor was no longer entangled, and the absence of people was not necessarily bad news.
——————
In the early summer of the 716th year of the dark calendar, in the first week of April, the thunder and the sun were cloudy.
An oil lamp lit up in the dark wilderness, without any cover, just stubbornly shining in the boundless darkness. Thor sat in a chair by the oil lamp, one leg crossed over the other, bowing his head to wind his short bow.
Ivan's whereabouts seem nowhere to be found, but it's not hard to guess.
After teleporting to somewhere in Grey Curtain with the scroll, he should first reach back to the mayor's mansion and hide in the shadows to see if any lucky henchman can save him.
After that, whether it was sadness or rage, between himself and the mayor, he would definitely come to him first.
In order to prevent the second-order Ivan from running around and causing more unknowable variables, Thor went directly to the wilderness, sat in the light, and waited.
As for how Ivan got there, he might have climbed over the town's parapet and headed for the grave keeper's hut, or he might have come from the north gate with his hood, or that's the general direction.
"At the end of the day, you're going to face me with that toy, aren't you afraid I'll pounce on you and pinch you to death?"
After Thor's eyes froze and he could tell where Ivan was, Thor secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then smiled.
"No, that's obviously not your style, I think I know a little bit about you. You kind of person, maybe temporary sadness will make you look up and scream a few times, but soon you will return to your stubborn sanity. ”
The contrast between the dark wilderness and the bright oil lamp, according to Evan's suspicious character, there is a high probability that he will not pounce directly, as long as he still has a trace of sanity.
The smile was calm, but Thor's heart was tense, and the soles of his feet were ready to roll backwards and flee into the wilderness.
The dim glow of the oil lamp spread out on the ground, and in this visual distance, Thor believed that with the strength of the second order of Ivan, the speed must be faster than himself, but it was not even the speed of inhuman, so he had a calm idle now.
"Speak as if you know me well. Evan laughed angrily.
Thor placed the short bow in his hand on the table next to him, then sat down in his chair and spread his hands.
"So let's tell a story, my sister and sister attended a family funeral at the same time, and met a wonderful and handsome man at the funeral. A few days later, my sister died. ”
It sounded like an inexplicable story, with no beginning or end in a few words, but Ivan fell silent after Thor finished speaking.
"It was my sister who killed my sister because she wanted to possess the man alone...... Well, no, let me think about it, it shouldn't be the reason for this superficiality. A moment later, the sound of Evan's contemplative whispering could be heard in the darkness.
Thor's index finger silently drew circles on the table, waiting quietly.
After a moment, glancing at the magic hourglass on his wrist, Thor finally stood up.
"That's it, don't worry, you still have a lot of time, you can stay with your brother and think slowly. Saul said.
As if in response to Thor's words, the sound of Ivan falling to the ground was heard in the darkness.
——————
When Ivan woke up from his deep paralysis, he found himself buried in the earth, with only his head exposed, and the pain coming from his hands and feet was evident that his tendons and tendons had been broken.
Thor was crouching next to him, brushing his brush against his face......
Oh, it seems to be honey, and something else that smells weird, Evan subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, and then spat to the side.
"When did you poison him?" Ivan stared at Thor tightly, his voice filled with deep jealousy.
"I didn't poison it. It's just that the direction you came from was not very coincidental, and you happened to walk into the sea of soul eaters, and you stayed for a while to talk to me for a while, and then they attacked you. ”
"Soul Eater Flower, also known as the Abyss Demon Vine, you should have heard of it in your experience, my paralyzing medicine powder comes from it. ”
"It's not right to say it's flowers, I don't usually notice that they look like weeds in the wilderness, so I transplanted all the soul eaters I could find, and that's the origin of that sea of flowers. ”
"These plants are very passive, and when a mob enters their territory, they attack more slowly. Fortunately, their attacks are very stealthy, like mosquito bites, and you don't realize you've been bitten by a mosquito until your skin arches up into a swollen lump. ”
"This plant has a good appetite, and after you fall for about two days, all your visceral flesh will melt into nutrients and be sucked up, and eventually only skin will remain. So in the end I saved you and dragged you out. ”
While waving the brush, Sol chatted with Ivan as he listened to Thor's nonsense, and Ivan laughed violently and coughed violently.
"If you have a back hand, why don't you use it when you come back from the wilderness with a corpse on your back? Evan asked hoarsely.
Thor shook his head again.
"Strictly speaking, it's not a back-end at all, not even a trap, because it's too passive and the triggering requirements are too harsh. After all, this sea of flowers has a limited area, and it can't swallow yours. ”
"Even if I can get you to chase after you, the eight of you, come in a slightly skewed direction, or stand a little apart from each other, that's a different ending. ”
"Even if we are lucky enough to be able to numb more than half of you, once we miss two or three people, the result is not something we can afford. Shogues and I don't care about fighting it out, but our beloved friends could suffer, and I don't dare bet on it. ”
"Actually, this sea of flowers is just the first level I prepared for you, there are some other arrangements by the stream in the back, and if you are lucky, you can leave two or three people, these arrangements have been prepared by me as early as the second month after your brother's death, but I am not sure if it will be useful. ”
"So, in order to kill you, I planted flowers and dug holes, in fact, it was not easy for me. ”
"Even so, your brother still lost his woman. Evan laughed.
"Yes, it was a miserable result, so at the end of the day, none of us won. Thor nodded.
Now that it's the end and there's a conversation atmosphere, Evan asks the question he cares about the most.
"What did you say to that old fellow in Elton when you entered the mayor's mansion?"
"It's a long story, but I guess you won't have time to finish it, so let's not tell it. ”
"Then tell me what you've laid out by the stream behind you? I'll try to imagine that. Evan asked again.
"There are too many problems with people like you, and I think letting you die with a few doubts is the best revenge. Saul replied.
"Okay, so what you told you earlier, at least you should tell me the answer, right?" Ivan craned his neck in the dirt.
"That's obviously something I brought up in passing to stall for time. Thor glanced at Evan.
"But I think there's definitely an answer. Ivan insisted.
"Well, my sister has never seen that good and handsome man in the family, so she thinks that she can only see him again at the family funeral. So she killed her sister so that the family had a new funeral. Saul said.
She ...... I'm afraid I'm sick!?" Ivan glared, his whole body shocked as if he was about to come out of the dirt.
"It sounds incredible, but such a human nature exists, and I have seen it even more distorted. Saul finally replied.
