Kaz is back in the passage.

His skewed back was even smaller in comparison to the massive wizarding tower.

Thor looked up.

A dark gray wizard's tower stood in front of you.

The lower part of the tower only has walls, no windows, and Thor can't tell how many floors the wizard tower has, but he thinks that the wizard tower in front of him is not lower than those skyscrapers.

Majestic, majestic.

The wind and frost of the years have added a mysterious and heavy connotation to it.

But for the apprentices who can't leave the tower at will, it's more like a prison.

Seeing Mentor Kaz leave, Thor quickly put his sad feelings behind him.

He rubbed his hands together and drooled as he approached the cute, credit-worthy companion flowers.

It doesn't matter if you don't pick a companion flower that produces white fruit, whether it's blue or red, it's useful, and Thor doesn't dislike it.

He walked along the edge of the field, looking for buds that caught his eye.

Soon Thor found one in good condition.

The flower stems are erect, the buds are full, and they are very energetic at first glance.

And the flower moved visibly as Thor approached, leaning its head against Thor for it.

Thor immediately decided that this was the flower.

So he made a note of the flower's position and appearance, and turned back and walked to the wooden house.

As he walked, Thor felt a strange touch at his ankle, as if something was rubbing against him.

He looked down and saw a black tentacle as slender as a grass stalk sticking out of the ground.

The tentacles were smooth and soft, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a plant or an animal.

The more Thor looked at it, the more familiar it became.

Finally, it suddenly occurred to him that this black tentacle was not the same tentacle in the mire that he had seen in Mentor Rum's room.

It's a lot smaller, but the appearance is almost identical!

This tentacle is real!

Is that black quagmire real or fake? Is the tranquil and beautiful garden in front of you really located on a flat land?

Thinking of the image of the black tentacles rolling the corpse into the ground, Thorton's scalp tingled, and the strange touch just now evolved into a caterpillar, constantly burrowing into his trouser leg.

He hurriedly raised his feet and ran to the wooden house at the entrance of the garden, ready to call the gardener for help.

Through the window of the cabin, Thor saw that the gardener was sitting with his back to him.

The posture of the arms looks a little stiff.

"Flower ......" Thor felt something wrap around his calf again, and hurriedly called for help.

But before he could say the second word, a black tentacle as thick as a thigh suddenly appeared in front of him, which violently wrapped around his left arm and pulled him into the dirt.

The ground, which had just been flat and solid, collapsed as soft as mud.

……

The loose soil was wrapped in stones, and it rushed towards Thor.

No matter how much Thor struggled, he couldn't stop his falling form.

In the end, he simply gave up struggling, closed his eyes, and let go of his senses.

At the same time, recite the spell of "Burning Breath", just wait for the main owner to appear, and give it a hammer first!

The resistance in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Thor fell into a puddle of mud with a "click" of mud and sand.

And the black tentacles wrapped around his arm were gone.

The expected attack did not materialize.

Thor propped himself up from the mud and wiped his muddy face with his muddy hands.

"Poof!"

Because he had to open his mouth to recite the incantation, Thor also poured a lot of disgusting mud into his mouth.

He barely opened his eyes and found that it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see his fingers.

The hole in the top of the head also seemed to be blocked by something, and no sunlight poured down.

Thor smeared to his feet, raised his hand to fum, and didn't touch anything else.

His feet were covered in mud, and he could hear the sound of something burrowing underneath.

A slippery mud-stained slick rubbed against Thor's ankle, causing him to fall back in fright, nearly falling into the mud again.

Darkness amplifies the senses of hearing and touch.

The unknown is chilling.

Thor struggled to calm himself down, first observing his surroundings with the meditation he was most familiar with.

However, to his surprise, the semi-immersive meditation, which had always been able to dominate the enemy, did not find anything this time.

No spirits, no weirdness.

It's scary-clean.

At this moment, something suddenly moved on the soles of Thor's feet.

He was so excited that he hurriedly raised his feet and dodged backwards.

As his hand flails back, he touches a hard slate.

It appears to be a stone platform raised above the mud.

It's also a little damp to the touch, but it's better than standing in the mud.

Thor braced his hands, dodged the tentacles under his feet, and climbed onto the high platform.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

At the moment when Thor stood on the high platform, candle lights suddenly lit up at the four corners of the high platform, illuminating this underground space.

The land overhead is at least three meters from Thor's location.

When he first fell, thankfully there was mud on the ground and the unknown black tentacles, so he didn't break Thor well.

The soil was supported by some force, and nothing fell with Thor except for a little dirt and gravel.

As far as the light could see, there was a large space all around, except for the high platform at Thor's feet, the rest of the place was black-gray mud.

From time to time, something black like tentacles and vines surged through the mud, except that there were no corpses, and the other scene was similar to the scene that Saul had seen with Mentor Rum.

The black tentacles in the mud don't seem to hurt living people. Except for rubbing Thor's arms and ankles, he didn't make any really hurtful movements.

I don't know why it had to rip Thor off.

"Evil ...... The mud is all flowing into the collar, it's really uncomfortable, and the next witchcraft must be cleaned first. ”

Thor took off his robe, carefully avoiding the mud on it, and wiped his face with a fairly clean part.

"Forget it, let's learn the light art first, if you encounter a place without lights, you will immediately become blind."

Because of the familiar candelabra, Thor's fear of this underground space has dissipated a lot.

The presence of a candelabra means that this is also the territory of the Wizard's Tower. It's the dust and moss on the high platform that shows that no one has used it for a long time.

Thor turned his head and finally noticed what the platform looked like.

It is a high square platform about five meters long, with two experimental tables in the middle, and some broken utensils are messily placed on the table.

Thor walked over and saw a sunken groove in the ground between the two test benches.

He measured it, and the groove could probably lie down on an adult of normal size.

"Someone is supposed to have done experiments here, but for some reason, this place was abandoned."

A trail of mud was left on the platform, destroying the originally dark moss.

Thor walked around the edge of the high platform, surrounded by mud, and farther away from the range that could be illuminated by the candlelight, vaguely the land, and there was no way out.

"It doesn't feel safe to walk around." Thor looked up, "Why don't you try to get out of it." ”

Thor went over and lifted one of the test tables, it was heavy, but barely able to lift it.

He stood at the top of a lab bench out of reach, and if he stacked two benches on top of each other, he should be able to grasp the soil overhead.

I hope that there is a place to borrow from above, or to find a way to ask for help.

Although Thor disappeared for a long time, the gardener should come looking for him, but Thor is not someone who will just stand still and wait for rescue.

He lifted the corner of one of the benches and tried to drag it over first.

"Whew-"

A shrill voice sounded, and the legs of the laboratory table left a few black marks on the high platform.

It seemed to be a little louder, and the mud around it began to bubble.

Thor hurriedly stopped his movements and observed the movement around him.

Although those tentacles didn't attack him just now, he had to be cautious. Thor doesn't have the confidence to defeat this monster right now.

Black tentacles emerged from the mud and twisted and stretched towards the platform, but they all seemed to be somewhat restricted and could not extend beyond the platform.

Thor waited for a moment, making sure that the things wouldn't run to the high platform, before continuing to move the test bench.

However, with a "snap", something landed on his left shoulder, and something cool slipped across Thor's cheek.

He froze as he lifted the corner of the bench, and his eyes slowly looked to the left.

A seaweed-like thing was waving teeth and claws on Thor's shoulder.

No, it has no teeth, just black thread-like tentacles. If it's not too small, it looks like a giant tentacle in the mud.
