Although he was inexplicably invaded by a cocoon, Thor was not very panicked at this time.

Penny is an ordinary little girl, she is fine with this cocoon for three or four years, and he is not afraid of a wizard apprentice.

Besides, as long as the diary is not out of the way, things are not too troublesome.

The only trouble is that he can't turn to Byron now, after all, he can't explain the origin of this cocoon.

If it weren't for the diary's prompts, he wouldn't have been able to spot the cocoon.

It was only after a while that he could put this thing on the surface.

Experiments with Nightmare Butterfly Cocoons were forced to go to the second option, but they had to wait until they returned to the tower to continue research.

Thor relaxed slightly, leaning against the window, "Where are we going?" ”

"Getting around here, there's a col. It's a bit deeper than the original location, but it shouldn't be too dangerous for us. Nick, who was behind the sensor, took the initiative to say.

"Will there be one over there?" Thor was a little worried, their trip didn't go well in the first place.

"Probably not." Byron said in a low voice, "I thought about it for a moment, and the reason why those things appeared at the entrance to the Valley of the Hanging Hands was probably because of a rare tidal storm. ”

Knowing that Thor didn't understand this, Byron introduced him in detail.

The Valley of Weeping Hands is home to thousands of wizards, so it is divided into two worlds, the above-ground and the underground.

The underground world has become a complex hole composed of tunnels because of the rescue, escape and excavation afterwards.

In the depths of the cavern, dangerous monsters like Human-Headed Monsters will appear.

They generally don't come out because the outside world is too stable for them to be detrimental to their existence.

Occasionally, however, several storms will erupt from the ground undirectionally.

Some of the monsters will follow the storm to temporarily run to other tunnels, or even climb to the surface.

In general, when this happens, everyone moves quickly, and it is much safer to leave the area affected by the storm.

Tidal storms are a rare event after all, so the outskirts of the Valley of the Hands are considered a safe zone for wizard apprentices.

The three of them didn't have the idea of evacuating, after all, they had to evacuate just because of the slightest danger, so they didn't need to be wizards.

Bypassing a huge pile of boulders scattered on the ground, three or four meters high, Byron suddenly stopped the wood spider.

Got to the place?

Thor saw Byron leave the wood spider and jumped with him.

As soon as he landed, he noticed that there were several people in front of him.

It should be two groups of people.

There were four people in one of the groups and were fighting the people opposite them.

But Thor took two looks, and was sure that it was a one-sided crush, and that the four were tortured and killed by one of the people opposite.

There were two people on the other side, one with long purple hair and playfully slaughtering the four people opposite. The other was sitting on a large rock, looking unrefreshed and pale.

By this time, the four people who had been suppressed had already begun to suffer casualties, two of them fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and the skin on their bodies began to melt.

The pale wizard on the other side suddenly spotted Thor. Leap up from the stone and fly towards them.

Thor immediately activated the spirit body and prepared for battle.

But then he found out that Senior Byron was not in combat mode. It's just that Nick on the other side looks a little nervous - although he still doesn't have any expression on his face.

The pale-faced wizard landed in front of Byron and suddenly greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Yo, Byron, long time no see!"

Byron nodded, "Hmm." ”

"You're still so cold, haha." The Pale Wizard seemed to have a good temper and greeted Nick again, "Nick, it's rare to see you out." ”

Nick saluted respectfully, "Senior Wright." ”

The pale wizard named Wright finally confronted Thor, still smiling, "The little guy hasn't seen you, is it a new second-level?" ”

Thor also saluted with Nick, "Senior Wright, hello, I just became a second-level some time ago. ”

Wright smiled: "It doesn't look very old, but the current newcomer is really amazing." Maybe someone will become an official wizard before us old guys do. ”

Although Wright called himself an old fellow, he didn't look very big, and he was even much younger than Byron, only in his early twenties.

An apprentice wizard may slow down the aging of his body if he modifies himself, and his true age cannot be inferred from his appearance.

If you become an official wizard, your lifespan will increase dramatically, so the wizarding world can't rely on your looks to infer age and strength.

As they spoke, the purple-haired wizard apprentice had already killed the four people opposite.

He opened his mouth at the corpses, and a puff of purple smoke erupted from his mouth, enveloping the four corpses.

After a while, the smoke returned to the purple-haired man's mouth, and the corpse on the ground disappeared, leaving only a pile of clothes.

The purple-haired man stepped forward to pick up the loot.

Byron stared at the clothes for a few moments, and suddenly spoke, "They're land boaters?" ”

Wright hurriedly raised his hand to show his innocence, "It's none of my business, those guys saw that there were only two of us and attacked us." Bill's character also knows that there have always been enemies who kill them on the spot. I can't persuade him. ”

Byron frowned, "The people who travel on land often act together, so he is not afraid to kill a few and provoke a bunch of them?" ”

Wright wasn't nervous, and said with a smile: "It's okay, if someone finds it, it's a big deal to push Bill out." ”

At this time, the purple-haired man Bill finished handling the booty, put his hands in his pockets, and walked over.

"Byron? The Valley of the Hands is really lively today. Everybody's coming to pick up the treasures. But why are you still holding back two second-level lags? ”

Byron saw Bill with a slight wariness in his eyes.

He knew that if the people who traveled on land dared to sneak attack, it must be Bill who deliberately disguised themselves as weaklings.

The Land Boat is also a large wizarding organization. The high-end combat power is not as strong as the Wizard Tower, so the apprentices who usually encounter the Wizard Tower will generally not start a conflict.

So this time, it is likely that Bill concealed his identity and deliberately attracted the other party to make a move and then counter-kill. Everyone is dead, and Byron can't say anything, so he can only hope that the follow-up will not cause trouble.

"We're not here to hunt for treasure. But this place isn't for you, is it? Byron said lightly.

"Hehe, I'm short of money, so I happened to come over with Wright to pick up the corpse." Bill shrugged his shoulders and suddenly turned to Nick and said, "It's you, Nick, why are you here?" Didn't I remember you begging for a letter from Mentor Rum about going to Mill Sail? What do you think? Did you secretly snatch the grinding sound fruit? When I go to get the tribute next month, I won't have a single one left, right? ”

Is Bill the one who goes to Mill Sail every year to receive the Grinding Fruit?

Thor's heart skipped a beat.

So after all these years, did he know that Millsail was trading with the barbarians?

Before Shelly died, he said that the Wizard Tower didn't help Millsail Town, was that what he meant to be Bill?

Nick bowed his head slightly, looking a little nervous.

"Seniors don't have to go over next month. Mofan Town was attacked by barbarians, and the fields of Mosheng Fruit were destroyed. ”

Bill raised an eyebrow, "Now those wandering wizard apprentices outside are really getting more and more useless, and they can still be attacked by a group of barbarians?" ”

He smiled again, "But that's fine, it saves me the trouble of running once a year." ”

Bill put an arm around Nick's shoulder, "But then you won't be able to get the Grinding Fruit, will you?" Alas, if you want me to say, emotions still have to be controlled by themselves, and they can't rely on drugs. ”

Nick was so crushed that his back bent down, but he could only say yes again and again.

"Since there is nothing else to do, let's continue on our way." Byron pulls Nick out of the hands of someone else.

Wright asked curiously, "Why are you still going inside with two second-level apprentices?" ”

Byron confessed: "Thor saw a lot of head monsters at the entrance, and I suspect that there is a tidal storm there, and it is safer to be inside." ”

"Human-headed monsters?" A solemn expression also appeared on Wright's face, "Every time there is a head monster, someone always disappears mysteriously, I hope it won't be us this time." ”

But Bill's attention was elsewhere.

He tilted his head, bypassed Nick and Byron, and saw Thor, who had been standing quietly behind.

"So you're Thor." Bill's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sense of danger all over his body, "I often hear people mention you, what a powerful junior." ”

Who is it that keeps mentioning him to Bill?
