Chapter 282: Marking
Saul mourned for three seconds of silence for Wright, and then asked, "Why is Madame in Wright's body?" ”
"Didn't you tell me that Wright might be controlled by the land-walkers? I went out to meet Wright with the people who traveled on land, and by the way confiscated the good things they had prepared openly and secretly. If they dare to put their hands in the Wizard's Tower, don't blame me for chopping off my arms as well. ”
Wright probably didn't expect that it was originally a cool plot of Infernal Affairs, but he died in an accident at the end.
Sure enough, even for a Level 3 apprentice, this world is extremely dangerous.
"You haven't told me yet, why did that Penny let you out?"
"Because...... She's a nightmare butterfly. I have a cocoon of hers in my hand. ”
"Nightmare Butterfly?" There was a slight dazed look on Yora's face.
She didn't even know about Nightmare Butterfly?
It shouldn't be. As a spirit that studies dark attributes. It stands to reason that she should have heard of Nightmare Butterfly.
After all, his current main project is the resurrection, which is highly related to the consciousness and spirits, and the field of knowledge
"I don't know exactly what the Nightmare Butterfly means, but I do know that it can change a person's perception of themselves and the world."
Heywood must have known something about this, so Saul couldn't pretend he didn't know anything.
"Oh?" Yula was really interested, "Do you sell this thing?" ”
Thor was calm and shook his head gently, "It's not that I don't sell, it's that I can't sell it now." ”
Yura frowned, "Is that a condition for you to leave that town?" ”
Go on the road!
"What agreement did you come to?"
Thor just looked at Yura in silence.
Yula looked a little irritated, and she leaned back, "If you sign something unfavorable, it's a big deal to go back and tell Gorsa, he always has some strange ideas." ”
She sat there quietly with her arms folded for a while, then suddenly raised her eyes and asked, "Why did you end up in that town?" ”
"I was originally going to Mobei City, and when I passed by here, I remembered my ...... Friends, it turned out that they ......"
"The madman you brought back?"
Thor was silent for a moment, but shook his head and said, "No, he's my friend's neighbor." ”
The carriage moved forward in silence, because it was not in such a hurry, it was already past noon, and the group arrived at the Black Fort near Mobei City.
However, when Thor came to the Black Castle, he found that the slender castle in front of him seemed to have been weathered overnight, and even the walls had fallen off a lot.
"What is this?" Thor stood outside the gates of Castle Black, and his eyes that had been on the door were gone.
"There is a vine in the Black Castle, which was raised by Mokimochi and also stored his spiritual power. Now that Mokimochi is dead, it can't live either. ”
Yula stepped forward and pushed open the door of Castle Black, and walked down the narrow porch.
Even the palatial hall had become pitch black, and it seemed to have died with its former owner.
Knowing more about the place, Ula led Thor all the way down to an underground wine cellar.
It was said to be a wine cellar, but there was no smell of wine in it, and it smelled more like something rotten.
Eula and Thor made their way to the end of the cellar and pushed open a secret passage.
This time, the entrance does not have neat stone steps, but a completely dirt path.
As soon as Yula stepped down, the slightly damp dirt almost reached the upper of her shoes. She seemed to want to frown, but unfortunately the puppet's face couldn't make so many expressions.
Thor followed, taking a closer look. It was a place he hadn't set foot on two times.
When you breathe, you can feel tiny droplets of water in the air and enter your lungs along your nose.
Moist, dull.
This passage is also in the style of Blackcastle, and Thor and Eula walk through it like two burrowing gophers.
After descending for dozens of meters, something other than dirt finally appeared in the cave.
There are more white mushrooms in the corners of the tunnel, which look familiar.
After that, the downward channel began to flatten.
A huge black shadow stood in front of the two of them.
It was the root system of the vine, and the larger, thicker roots were still submerged in the deep soil.
"Black Castle needs a temporary owner now, otherwise the castle above won't last long before it collapses." Eula's fingertips glowed, illuminating the dark cavern, "You can inject your spiritual power into it now and become the temporary master of Blackcastle." ”
"Me?"
"Of course, I'm going back soon, and only you can stay here for the time being." Yura turned sideways, her back almost pressed against the dirt, giving Thor room to make way.
Thor stepped forward, resting one hand on the large, thick root, and the next moment, he seemed to hear someone talking.
[Is Mochimo dead?] 】
“…… Yes. ”
He is the one who has been with me the longest. So how long can you live? Always change owners, and I'm not comfortable. 】
"You tell it that it will take as little as ten days, or at most half a month, and the tower will send someone to take over. Otherwise, you can afford to wait, and the second treasury can't afford to wait. Yula clasped her hands to her chest and her face was expressionless.
Sollo bowed his head, turned his head and told the vines, "I'm just taking over temporarily, and someone will replace me in fifteen days at most." ”
[It's really irritable, I don't like temporary masters.] Well, who made it impossible for me to last fifteen days on my own. Stinky boy, pass on your spiritual power, I hope you can adapt to this new experience as soon as possible, and don't spit on me. 】
Thor raised his eyebrows, "It seems that becoming the temporary master of Blackcastle is not an easy thing to do. ”
There are no changes in the diary in the spirit body.
Thor narrowed his eyes and passed his spiritual power through his fingers into the huge root system, which was already more than three meters in diameter.
In an instant, a huge impact entered Thor's mind.
In this moment, Thor seemed to share his five senses with the vines.
He could feel the roots under his feet absorbing water and nutrients from the soil through their tiny pores; There are vines that meander in the dirt and break through the dirt in a corner, enjoying the sun and air; But more often than not, there is a sense of extremely narrow constraints.
He was growing, but he was also bound by something, and could only extend according to the established route, and not an inch more.
Thor slowly frowned.
It was a terrible feeling, as if I was covered in bandages, and my hands and feet were tightly together. When you want to twist, you find that there is an iron coffin outside the bandage, so you can't move a single bit.
This restraint is more oppressive and desperate than suffocation.
Thor even wanted to yell to relieve the frustration in his heart, but found that he couldn't even grin between his lips.
"Aren't you alright?" A questioning question came from beside her.
Thor opened his eyes in an instant, and the cells around him were finally liberated. The feeling of tightness and restraint also subsided.
But that terrifying sense of restraint was still terrifying, even if it was just a memory, it made Thor tremble slightly.
"What's wrong with you? Your mental talent is very good, so it shouldn't be very difficult. ”
Thor lowered his hand, he could already faintly feel what was happening around the castle above him.
Is there anyone approaching, is there anyone walking around the castle...... He could feel it all.
"It's already marked." Thor responds to Yura.
Only then did the latter put his mind at ease, "You stood for so long, I thought something had happened." ”
"The process of marking is not very comfortable."
"Of course, but you have a lot of mental strength, and you already feel much better than others."
Be...... Is it?
Thor, who hadn't fully recovered, couldn't imagine what it would be like to be more uncomfortable.
In short, after experiencing synaesthesia just now, in a short period of time, he didn't really want to do it again.
