Chapter 4: Betrayal

In the moonlight, on the broken bed, Thor sat cross-legged, his eyes lowered and unfocused, already wandering out of the world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Thor's left hand stretched, and a sharp dagger leaped from side to side like a snake between his slender fingers, tumbling and moving, the snow-white blade almost flying against his skin, but leaving no scars.

And in the palm of Thor's other hand, five or six emerald green leaves were windless and automatic, flying in the air and floating.

Suddenly, Thor's lips opened slightly, and he spat out a charred black leaf, which dissipated with the wind and turned into powder as soon as it came out of Thor's mouth, and then the emerald green leaves flying between the palm of Thor's right hand immediately flew out and fell into Thor's mouth.

These emerald green leaves are the green vine leaves that Thor exchanged for from Cassia with his own blood, which is a kind of herb that can help wizards clear their minds and calm their minds.

That's right, Thor was doing meditation, a somewhat fancy, trick-like form of meditation called the Felizaro Meditation Method.

This meditation method was founded by a sorcerer named Filizzaro, who is said to have been born in the circus and was a juggler, so Filizaro meditation is also known as circus juggling.

The Filizaro meditation method, although fancy, is very useful. It is not only an effective meditation method, but also a method of using mental power, and Thor has learned many practical tips from this meditation method.

Of course, this meditation method was also exchanged for Saul's blood, and Saul's first time he sold blood, only one thing was exchanged, and that was the Filizaro meditation method.

By the time the green vine leaves in Thor's hand were consumed, today's meditation would be over.

Half a year ago, it only took two tablets to increase the spiritual power of three scales in one meditation, but now it takes seven tablets. The thirty copies exchanged for this time are a total of 180 tablets, which can only last for another 11 days!"

"Fortunately, my current mental scale is 96, and I am still 24 scales away from becoming a first-level wizard, according to the growth of 3 scales per day, as long as it takes eight days, my spiritual power accumulation is enough. ”

"But there are still quite a few problems with the analysis of the first-level witchcraft of fire and phosphorus, and the success rate is still only fifty percent. ”

After roughly estimating his cultivation progress, Thor carefully took out the three pages of yellow paper, hoping to gain inspiration from today's newly acquired wizard's codex and completely perfect the fire phosphorus technique.

"I know the principles of fire phosphorus, the model construction, the spell casting, I know all these thoroughly, and it's useless. Wait, the balance of materials and mental power?"

Thor was shocked, and couldn't help but stand up directly on the bed, walked quickly to the square window, held up the yellow paper in his hand, and studied it carefully by the moonlight.

"Well, the balance between materials and spiritual power, this is actually a common sense! For example, this fire phosphorus technique, the perfect formula should be 50 grams of white phosphorus powder plus 60 scale spiritual power, it turned out to be like this!"

After a while, Thor finished reading, his usual calm expression was gone, he almost danced excitedly, and the long-troubled problem was finally revealed!

In fact, this is just a few lines, just a small piece of information written casually, according to this codex, this is a little common sense in the study of witchcraft.

It's a pity that Thor lacks this kind of common sense, the more common sense information, the more difficult it is for Thor to be, after all, ordinary wizard manuals don't record those common sense knowledge at all, but Thor doesn't have a mentor to guide him on common sense questions at all!

"Witchcraft requires precise calculations!" sighed Saul again.

"Fire phosphorus is just an ordinary first-level witchcraft, it is said that in the wizard era, it was only an introductory witchcraft for wizards, but it still requires a perfect balance of witchcraft models, spellcasting spells, materials and spiritual power!"

But figuring out this perfect equation, Thor was a little down, because his mental scale was only 96, and he could only experiment with the Fire Phosphorus Technique once at a time, and then he had to wait for his mental power to recover. Even if he added the head coins he had in his hand, he would be able to experiment three or four more times.

The head coin is a common currency among wizards, and the twenty head coins in Thor's hand are the smallest units of head coins, and such a head coin contains about 5 to 10 spirit scales.

Of course, there are better head coins, the head coins of the Molga Empire are said to contain 100 to 150 spirit scales each, but not only Thor has never seen the head coins of the Molga Empire, but even the black market merchant Kasia has never seen it.

Tonight, Thor can't experiment with fire phosphorus, first, the place is inconvenient, in this small space, if the spell fails, it is very dangerous, and second, he lacks measuring tools in his hand, so he can only get a set of measuring tools tomorrow.

Once again, Thor is eager to have his own lab!

"After becoming a first-level wizard, you can study more witchcraft, so you have to plan your future well. Before going to bed, Thor thought to himself.

After a night of silence, when Thor opened his eyes again, the window was already shining in the light of the morning light.

Thor was about to sit up, when suddenly his chest hurt, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Faced with this situation, Thor was not worried, and even had some information, because after this mouthful of blood was sprayed, the injuries he suffered yesterday would be fine.

Thor's super self-recovery is actually a blessing from the Mexs family's bloodline.

There is an old saying in the wizarding world, to the effect that everything in the world is the research material of wizards.

Just like Thor's impure wizard bloodline, there are also people who need it.

In the past two years, Thor has traded with Kasia thirteen times with his own blood, in exchange for all the resources he needs.

After going through the process of blood drawing again and again, and then reproducing the blood in the body, the blood in Thor's body tends to be ordinary, but what is unexpected is that his physique is getting stronger and stronger, which causes his recovery to become stronger and stronger.

Eight months ago, Thor learned fire phosphorus for the first time, and the experiment failed, causing severe burns to his right hand, but he didn't want to recover completely after only five days, when his hand shed several layers of skin.

"Master, I'm back. Hey, why did the master vomit blood, and the injury is serious?"

At this time, Mike, the only young man in Thor, suddenly came in, and happened to see Thor vomiting blood, and immediately exclaimed.

"I'm fine. ”

Thor waved his hand to signal Mike not to worry, and then asked casually, "Come back so soon, just stay home all night?"

With that, Thor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, got out of bed, and prepared to go to the training ground for morning exercise.

Although he embarked on the path of a wizard, he did not give up on the training of warriors, and he had an ambition to awaken his fighting spirit while practicing witchcraft.

Thor didn't notice that after Mike heard his question, his face changed significantly, and all kinds of emotions flashed on his thin face, including struggle, fear, guilt, and determination, which was very complicated.

Seeing that Mike seemed to have thought of something, his expression became firm. Then he suddenly approached Thor and said mysteriously, "Master, I have something I want you to see." ”

As he spoke, Mike pulled something out of his bosom and handed it to Thor.

It was a stone statue in the image of a coiled giant snake, the size of a fist, the whole body was brown and yellow, there was no variegation, and there was no material to be seen, it looked like gold and not gold, like jade but not jade.

Thor originally just glanced at it casually, but his expression suddenly changed, could it be?

Thor took the stone statue, rubbing the stone statue at the same time, quietly input a little spiritual power, the surface of the stone statue immediately flooded with a faint sense of warmth, and there was an imperceptible tremor, in a trance, Thor seemed to hold a beating heart.

"This is really a Croatian serpent statue!" Thor was overjoyed.

The Croatian Serpent, a magical creature of the wizarding world, is described in the dozen pages of wizarding manuals in the dark grid in Thor's room.

Said to be at the end of their lifespan, these serpents are said to be a stone statue of a creature waiting for a chance to be resurrected, and they are a very useful wizarding material that can be used in a variety of ways, including one that is primitive and simple to use in Thor's wizarding handbook.

"Mike, where did you find this statue?"

Confirming that this was the Croatian Serpent Statue, Saul immediately asked eagerly.

When Mike saw that Thor really knew the statue, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes, as if to verify one thing, and this result frightened him, but also provided moral forgiveness for his subsequent actions.

Thor really trusted his only servant, and his mind was all on the serpent statue at this time, so he didn't notice Mike's abnormal behavior.

"Master, this is really a valuable antiquity, I came home last night and passed by a ruin, and I picked it up there, and there may still be such a thing. Mike replied, feigning excitement.

"Ruins?"

According to records, the Croatian giant snakes all live in the highland environment, and this is the Haikou Plain, so it cannot be a naturally formed stone statue, so it is collected by man.

Could it be that the ruins once belonged to a wizard?

"Where's the ruins? ”

Thor needs more resources to cultivate, and since this ruin may belong to a wizard, he must go and see it.

Just in case, Thor told Mike to go to the stable to prepare the horses and wait for him, while he returned to his bedroom alone, quietly taking the dagger from Darkgrid, and a bag of white phosphorus powder, and six head coins.

Half an hour later, Thor rode his horse and followed Mike out of Grey Keep and towards the ruins.

The moment he walked out of the Grey Keep, Thor seemed to sense that someone was peeking at him on the castle tower, but when he looked back, he didn't notice anything, and he was in a hurry to go to the ruins, so he didn't dig deeper.

.....

On an arrow tower closest to the drawbridge of the Grey Castle, Vivien Leigh's attendant, who had passed by Oster last night, ran down the tower and ran back to the Inner Castle when he saw Thor leave the Grey Castle.

"Ma'am, Mike has succeeded..."

.....

After two hours on horseback, Thor finally arrived at a desolate ruin, a mess of weeds, full of broken walls, and faintly visible of the golden splendor of the past.

"Master, I picked it up under that pillar. ”

Standing in the half-human-tall grass, Mike pointed to the huge lone stone pillars standing in the ruins, and turned back to Thor.

However, when Mike turned around, he saw Thor looking at him expressionlessly, his dark green eyes flickering.

"Master, why are you looking at me like that, aren't we going to hunt for treasure?" said Mike.

Thor didn't speak, didn't even dismount, just looked at Mike coldly for a long time.

The invisible pressure suddenly came, Mike's thin body instantly bent in half, the blood on his face disappeared suddenly, becoming extremely white, and his head was lowered, not daring to look directly at Thor.

"This is not the place where Greycastle must pass to your village!" Thor finally spoke, word for word, his voice untouched.
