Chapter 295: Old Things
"Algae...... Also planted by the Lady Yola? ”
Xiaozao seemed to hear Thor calling it, and leisurely came out of the back of his neck, looked left and right, and found that Thor was just standing in place, as if in a daze, so he turned to Thor and stuck out his tongue at him with a "puff".
Thor quickly raised his hand and pinched the upper and lower jaws of the algae, making its mouth grip the tongue with great precision, watching the black tongue twitch straight ahead, this time chuckling and letting go of the algae.
Algae's grimace is forcibly interrupted, and Thor plays it in turn and retracts angrily. Before retracting, it didn't forget to close the distance, sticking out its tongue at Thor again.
In the process of playing with Xiaozao, Ann told Thor that the Soul Eater Demon Swamp is essentially an earth-attribute demonic creature, and it is not accurate to say "seed", but it was indeed one of the "dowries" brought by Lady Yola back then.
Agu, who used to be a librarian, came out to testify.
Agu: [That's the kind of master you are. Soon after arriving at the Wizard Tower, Lady Yora opened an underground laboratory and cultivated many demonic creatures, but most of them were not successful. Later, after Lady Yura's death, the underground laboratory was also abandoned. 】
Not to be outdone, Ann turned the pages of Agu's book.
Ann: [Master, I was a living apprentice at the time, and I was going through the dark period of Lady Yora's death. On that day, the tower owner suddenly lost his temper...... Hiss ......】
Thor could see that Ann was still terrified when he remembered it.
Ann: [A lot of people died that day. There are wizards from the Principality of Kema, and there are also some apprentice wizards...... We've never seen a tower master lose his temper so much. It wasn't until the evening that I heard that the tower owner had been seen walking out of the underground laboratory with Lady Eula in his arms. 】
Ann: [But Lady Yora's head is gone.] The tower owner was holding only a headless corpse. Since then, the underground laboratory has been abandoned. 】
Thor touched his chin and suddenly said, "Algae has been in the underground lab before, and has stayed there since the lab was abandoned. You say, will it know how Lady Yola died? ”
The topic has shifted from whether Lady Eula intended to trap Thor or not, to the cause of her death.
But that's not off-topic.
If we could know the cause of Lady Yora's death, we might be able to understand what she wanted to do now.
Maybe you can also know - what Gorsa wants to do again.
Thor knew that what little "history-observing" he had left was no longer sustained for a few days.
He had wanted to put the last bit of his ability to work on his diary. Later, I considered that it could be used on the small algae that I was close to.
Now, suspecting that Algae might know the cause of Yora's death, Thor has made up his mind to conduct an observation of Algae when he finishes cleaning up Castle Black!
Anyway, that little bit of "observing history" is used again in the diary, and there may not be anything to be seen.
Thor has given up on the history of the Third Observation Diary.
But in addition to observing the history of the algae, Thor has a way to find out why he was attacked tonight.
"The first guest has been ushered in tonight, and the second guest has been caught, but I don't know if there is a third guest."
Thor carried the corpse of the raider on the land boat, and walked down the underground cellar step by step, and then into the underground passage that led to the underground rhizome of the devil's vine.
[See you again, Lord Thor.] 】
Devil Fujiichi sensed Thor's approach, and hurriedly sent out a greeting.
At the same time, thigh-thick black tentacles swayed on the damp and muddy ground, as if greeting Thor.
"Devil Vine, how many years have you been under Castle Black?"
[My concept of time is not so clear. 】
"Then do you know how Blackcastle communicates with the Wizarding Tower?"
[I'm sorry, but I don't know.] 】
Thor wasn't disappointed either, he threw the body of the sneak attacker on the ground and leaned casually against the wall.
He commanded in his mind, "Diary, let the black pages of that sneak attacker come out." ”
The journal unfolded in his mental body, turning to the fifth black page.
"Who are you and what is your name?"
[My name is Kadis, and I am a third-level wizard apprentice of the Land Boat. What is this place? Strange, how I don't remember how I got in. 】
"The purpose of your visit." Thor had no intention of leaving Cadis behind.
Maintaining these consciousness bodies requires Thor's mental power.
If you don't question the consciousness inside the black pages, you can keep them going longer. But if he can't ask questions, why is it necessary for Thor to leave behind an unimportant consciousness?
And the function of Kaadis is basically the same as Herman. But Herman, who had apparently become the captain of the frigate, was worth more, and Herman knew more information.
[I took over the task of the mentor and came to mark a quasi-third-level apprentice named Thor. But my mission seems to have failed. How do you explain it to your mentor when you go back? 】
"Quasi-...... Level 3 apprenticeship? Thor turned his wrist, "Not many people know the news, Lady Eula is one, and Grand Duke Kira should be able to see it too." At that time, those third-level wizard apprentices in the Principality of Kema may have also found out. ”
After all, Level 3 apprentices are different from Level 2 apprentices, they not only have locators, but they can already perfectly combine locators with their own spiritual bodies.
The stability of their spiritual body is much stronger than that of ordinary second-level apprentices.
After thinking about it, Thor continued to ask, "Do you know why you marked Thor?" ”
[The instructor said I don't need to know why.] 】
"Is it cannon fodder? I don't even know the purpose of the operation. So how do you mark it? ”
[Just let the seeds of the Lost Soul Flower come into contact with his spirit body.] 】
"After planting the marker, did your mentor explain what you need to do after the mission is successful?"
[The mentor says that if my mission is successful, leave a mark at the entrance to the Black Castle.] When the time comes, it is natural that someone else will come over and take over the imprint. Strange, I had already planted the marker, why did the mark fail later? Could it be that the energy of the seed has been depleted? 】
Is there even a third person?
But this time the diary did not remind me.
However, Thor soon figured it out.
In order to elicit a third person, he needs to be marked by the seed. But there was a diary, and it was clear that the imprint could not be preserved. That is, the mark will not be successful, and the third person will probably not appear anyway.
But since Thor could learn from Cadis what was going on, even if the third person didn't show up, it wouldn't cause things to go badly.
Thinking about it this way, Thor finally felt a little more at ease.
He has not yet conducted statistics and experiments on the new type of prompt for the diary, and he does not know what kind of adverse consequences will be caused in the end.
It is quite possible that it will be the consequences of death after a longer period of time. However, this longer period is only a little longer than the crisis that will come in a few minutes before.
Saul felt that from the previous characterization of the diary, it had evolved from a crisis of a few minutes at most to a few hours.
"What might he do if the sigil were taken over?" Thor suppressed the idea of starting research now, and continued to "torture".
】
【…… I do not know. It was also the first time I had taken over the seeds of the Lost Soul Flower. I used to be a lowest-ranking Level 3 apprentice, but I was only recently promoted by my mentor. 】
Thor rubbed the corners of his forehead.
"How come this Cadis doesn't know anything? What did his mentor promote him? Promote him as cannon fodder? ”
