Chapter 185: Ralph Manor
Now that the other party stopped attacking and came out of the shadows, Thor also relaxed a little on the surface, "Who are you, are you the official wizard here?" ”
"Ahem!" The white-haired old man coughed twice in embarrassment, "How is it possible?" I'm only level three...... Wandering wizard, my name is Krona. This is my apprentice, just one level Swan. ”
Level 3? That's a third-order apprentice, not a third-order full-fledged wizard.
But what did the other party say about wandering wizards later, although this title can also be collectively referred to all wizards and wizard apprentices, but Thor always felt that the other party was deliberately blurring his identity.
At this moment, the boy who had been injured by Thor with a small stone, Swan, limped over to the old wizard's apprentice and stared at Thor with a look of disgruntle.
The boy looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old, a little younger than Saul.
The other party's calf pants are torn, and there is a scrape on the skin.
Thor smiled at Swan, "I'm sorry, I'm a timid person, and if someone is watching me in the dark, I'll attack first." ”
Swan's eyes widened, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by his teacher.
"Swan is only level one, you don't have to apologize to him. Snooping on a high-level wizard, if you don't kill him, you're showing mercy to his men. ”
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Swan's face suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
The atmosphere finally eased, and Kron, a third-level apprentice who was not young, pointed to the manor not far away.
"You're here to try your luck, too?"
"Luck?" Thor asked rhetorically.
"Ralph Manor." Krone pointed to the weather-beaten manor behind him, "There was once a wealthy merchant from another place who was tricked into buying this manor. But he didn't know that there was once a long-standing wizard family living here. ”
"The rich merchant went out to do business, and his family and all his servants disappeared overnight. And this manor has also become the most terrifying legend in the town of Samp. ”
"When ordinary people live in a wizard's dwelling, they are indeed looking for death. But it was impossible for him not to ask before buying the house...... I think someone deliberately concealed the truth. Thor pondered for a moment and said slowly.
Krone's eyes lit up, "That's what I thought, too." In the past two years, the rich merchant has spent a lot of money to let the adventurer enter the manor and help him transport out the property hidden inside. But when those men entered the manor, none of them came out alive. Half a month ago, he even persuaded a nobleman here to send a team of knights into the ......"
Thor suddenly interrupted the other party, "The rich merchant has been looking for someone to enter the manor for the past two years? He wouldn't have known for so many years that this was once a wizard's residence, right? ”
Krone shrugged, "Of course he knew, but the things in the manor were too important to him, so he made money and hired people at the same time, and then no one wanted to take any chances, so he found even better knights." But the knights went in and never came out. ”
Thor narrowed his eyes, always feeling that something was wrong.
A rich businessman, no matter how rich he is, can't afford to waste it like this, right?
And what could be in the manor that kept him going for two years without giving up?
Thor raised his eyes and looked at the smiling Krone and the unhappy boy Swan, "You were also invited by a rich businessman?" ”
Swan muttered: "An ordinary person, at most a little money, how can he hire a teacher?" ”
Krone said, "It's a cooperation." He told me what had happened in the past two years and the layout of the manor, and I helped him bring something out of the manor. ”
"You tell me this......" Thor frowned.
"You...... An apprentice to the Wizard's Tower, right? Krone laughed and called out Thor's identity.
When Siwan heard this, he looked at his teacher in disbelief, and peeked at Thor in fear, his face no longer showing the dissatisfaction he had just had.
Saul did not admit or deny it.
Seeing that Thor didn't speak, Krone didn't get to the bottom of it.
"As you guessed, I want to invite you to cooperate and enter the manor together."
"Daxi, oh, even that unjust rich merchant has found a lot of powerful people to enter the manor in the past two years, and there is even a first-class apprentice in it. But these people were stuck in the manor and could not come out. Not only that, but even the residents who lived outside the manor were affected. ”
"I analyzed the strange phenomenon contained in this, and after two years of fermentation, it has become more dangerous. This also means that the Bloodthorn Family, which has been destroyed, must still have something related to witchcraft left. ”
"The most important thing is the secrets that are hidden in this estate. However, the defunct Bloodthorn family also gave birth to official wizards. There must be unpredictable dangers lurking inside the manor. So I recommend that everyone work together to be safer. ”
Listening to Krona's introduction, Thor looked back through the ruined walls to observe the manor.
The whole manor was shrouded in deep dark clouds, and even the wind here seemed to be stronger than outside.
Suddenly Thor felt as if he had heard something, and he pricked up his ears for a moment, only to feel the howling wind.
Krone was still waiting for his answer.
"You can cooperate, but I suggest entering the manor separately first, this place is not small, and it will be very inefficient to act together."
Krone frowned, if they don't act together, what is it called cooperation?
Thor smiled, "Through the wall, you can see the tallest building in this manor, which should be the castle where the owner of the manor lives. Normally, the most important things in the manor are placed there. But just in case, explore the surroundings as well. We entered from different places, explored the surrounding area, and if we felt dangerous, we didn't go deeper, and after an hour, we met in front of the castle gates, shared information, and decided whether to go directly to the main building or go elsewhere. ”
Thor proposed to check the surroundings, not on a whim, through the wall, he vaguely felt that the layout of the manor seemed to contain some kind of witchcraft magic circle rules, but the time and the damage was serious, he couldn't analyze it for a while.
Out of an abundance of caution, he wanted to find out the layout of the entire manor first. If you can analyze the characteristics and rules of this circle, you may be able to unearth the secrets of the manor without hard searching.
Seeing that Thor had the initiative to speak, the little boy Siswan looked nervously at his teacher.
This time, Krone did not hesitate for long, and agreed to Saul's proposal.
"Well, although according to the information I have obtained, the wealth of this manor is in the castle, but you have a point, wizards should not only focus on the danger in front of them, but also analyze the surrounding situation. So ......"
"Let's do it now?"
"Now?" Krone was stunned.
As the two spoke, Thor heard something again, but as he listened, the voice disappeared again.
Thor checked his status, the mana fluctuations were stable, the spirit body was also stable, and the diary was still pretending to be asleep.
The voice just now shouldn't have been his auditory hallucination.
This made Thor more curious and wary of Ralph Manor.
"Since you have decided to go in, of course you are going to act now, do you have to wait for someone?"
