Chapter 157: Soul Attracting Oil Lamp
Thor gritted his teeth slowly.
Such a cold truth made his breathing stagnant. But deep down, a voice told him that this was the way the world should be.
Winnie didn't seem satisfied with the extent of the truth to Thor, and she approached Thor again, the shadow leaning forward and lingering in his ear.
A small voice rang out, "Do you know how many years Gorsa has stayed at the peak of the second order?" ”
If you don't understand the meaning of this sentence, I'll give you an example. Do you know why the second level of the apprentice who can't advance to the third level at the age of thirty is kicked out of the tower? ”
"Why would the Wizard Tower let them go instead of crushing people to death?"
"Because people who have stayed at the top of the hierarchy for a long time are known to be contaminated by unknown superiors without interruption. Leave those second-level apprentices in the tower, and sooner or later they will be polluted and turned into monsters. If you work in a morgue, you should know that everything that is contaminated is going to be sent to the garbage dump. Even if he is as powerful as Gorsa, he is not willing to risk using it. ”
Thor felt a sweet breath blow on his cheeks, but the sweetness was followed by extreme bitterness.
Winnie continued, "You said Gorsa...... Is he becoming more and more like a monster? ”
Thor finally couldn't help but take a big step back, his back slamming against the table, pain and fear causing him to breathe heavily.
"Ho...... Ho ......"
Thor couldn't help but think that if the tower owner turned into a monster, how many living people would be left in this wizard tower?
Just as Thor was caught up in the terrifying future described by Vinnie, a gentle voice suddenly rang out in the doorway.
"Yora, don't scare Thor."
Thor and Vinnie turned their heads at the same time, and saw Gorsa, dressed in a reddish-brown cloak, walking from among the corpses.
And when those corpses pass by in Gorsa, they will automatically get out of the way on both sides, wait for people to walk by, and then go back.
As she reached Venie and Thor, Gorsa spread her arms and lifted her cloak, revealing her body wrapped in pink bandages underneath.
"Come back."
Winnie's shadow stayed where it was.
But Gorsa was very patient with her, and said, "Come back...... Shrewd. ”
Winnie glanced at Thor, and her red eyes couldn't tell what she was thinking.
She walked over, hugged Gorsa with open arms, and then, like rain dripping from a lake, melted into the other's body and disappeared.
Thor suddenly came back to his senses, and when Winnie left to look back at him, he seemed to see a beautiful, cold woman's face.
Gorsa withdrew his hand, and the wide cloak swung slightly, covering his body tightly again.
He bowed his head and whispered to Thor: "You don't have to worry about Yora's words, especially about the resurrection part, when you are promoted to the third level, I will tell you this." ”
Thor couldn't help but take a step forward, "Tower Master, is the spirit body just now, really Lady Yola?" ”
Gorsa nodded, "It's her." ”
He chuckled, "Did she tell you she's just a replica and named herself Vinnie?" ”
Thor didn't know how long his conversation with Winnie had been heard, but there was no point in hiding it, after all, Winnie herself had been sucked into her body.
He nodded.
"She does it every time. If you are happy, you will say that you are Eula, and if you are unhappy, you will be Vinnie. The corners of Gorsa's eyes curled, but quickly dimmed, "I've tried my best to keep her consciousness intact, but when it comes to replenishing Yura's soul energy, she's still somewhat polluted by the outside world. So her perception has also been affected. ”
"There is no way for the time being, the consciousness body is an existence that is more fragile than the soul. Sometimes a small impact from the outside world, or a change in one's own thoughts, can cause great harm to the conscious body. From one extreme to the other. ”
Gorsa stretched out his right hand from under his cloak, carrying an old, rusty oil lamp with a shallow layer of oil in it.
"The body is the cornerstone of the soul, don't play with the soul out of the body if you have nothing to do."
Thor paused, reaching out to take the oil lamp.
The lamp was so small that he could hold it with one hand.
The wick is a small noodle thread that is burning steadily.
Did the tower master see that his soul had left his body? Or did Vinnie, who was following her, tell the tower master?
"I don't know why I left my body last night. It scared me, but luckily I went back later. ”
Saul explained, trying to show that he wasn't looking for death.
"You carry this soul-attracting oil lamp with you, and drop a few drops of fingertip blood and saliva in the oil. If you are passive again and the soul is out of the body, it will help you to return to your body. ”
Thor clenched the oil lamp, so the tower owner thinks that the soul will still be separated from the body?
"Thank you. But do you know why I'm here? ”
"You already have a guess in your heart, go and verify it, instead of listening to others."
The corners of Gorsa's eyes curved softly again, "If you want to thank me, grow as soon as possible." At the very least, you have to reach level 3 to be able to help me. ”
Thor nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Tower Master, I will definitely work hard." ”
Gorsa smiled, and the whole person suddenly disappeared in front of Thor's eyes.
In the huge treasury, Thor is finally the only living person left.
Without the worry of possessing evil spirits, he didn't have to ask for help.
Thor held the Soul Attracting Oil Lamp and took a few steps back to the table and sat down.
He was lying on the table, his arms around his face, and no one could see his expression clearly.
Before 3 p.m., Saul moved all his experimental materials from the corpse on the second floor of the East Tower to the storeroom on the first floor of the East Tower.
Later, he took advantage of lunch time to go to Byron's senior, intending to transfer the contribution of the sailboat to Byron as a reward for saving his life.
Not surprisingly, Senior Byron did not shirk and directly accepted Saul's thank you.
"When did you come back?" Byron counted his share and gave Thor some credits back.
"Actually, I came back yesterday." Thor smiled bitterly.
Byron glanced at Saul, but thought that Saul didn't go back to the dormitory after returning to the tower, and was with the tower owner, so he didn't ask much.
"What are you going to do about Wright?"
Thor knew what Byron meant, and said with a smile: "What he did at that time was actually the norm in the wizarding world, but it was you who went back to me, senior, which really surprised me." ”
"I also have a certain degree of certainty before I make a move." Byron's expression was pale, and he didn't think what he had done was so surprising, "If you die, I will flee immediately, and I will not avenge you." ”
Thor shook his head, "Don't seniors take this life-saving grace to heart?" ”
"I'm just doing a little bit of help, and it's up to you to survive. As for that little kindness," Byron said, ...... he held up the ledger in his hand, "yes." ”
Thor smiled obediently, and there was no need to talk about such things as favors.
"By the way, where does Senior Wright live?"
Looking at Saul's seemingly innocent smile, Byron silently mourned for Wright in his heart, and then did not hesitate to report Wright's dormitory number and the laboratory he frequented.
The intelligence is very detailed.
But Saul didn't go to Wright, and there was no rush in this matter.
He took advantage of the fact that there was still a little time to move.
The Klee next door hasn't come back yet.
He has some regrets, but this is the law of normal outing missions, who will come back in a few days like him.
Without time to rest, Thor exchanged for what he needed and returned to the second storeroom.
……
When Thor was busy, the news that he had replaced a third-level apprentice and became a treasury keeper had spread among the senior apprentices.
On the twelfth floor of the East Tower, there is a free activity room dedicated to the exchange of third-level apprentices.
There are usually not many people here, but the third-level apprentices who come back from a mission will basically come here for a walk.
They will exchange what they have learned and seen outside, or will they inquire if there is any new news in the tower recently?
Today, the door of the activity room was pushed open again, and three people came in from the outside.
Two men and one woman.
The first man was flamboyant, the second was gloomy, and the third woman wore a large hood that covered the upper half of her face, revealing only a fair-skinned, graceful chin.
Originally, there were only two people talking in the activity room, but when they saw the three people coming in, they immediately stopped talking.
They looked at each other, and one of the women stood up and walked over to the man who had entered.
"Billy, I heard that your brother Bill died in this mission."
The man with a gloomy expression raised his head and replied lightly: "Oh." ”
