Chapter 348: Come and Get It
The temperature in the room plummeted.
The harmonious and pleasant atmosphere just now suddenly shattered like a mirror, revealing the reality behind it.
Thor was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously twisted his neck and looked at Mentor Kaz.
But Mentor Kaz was silent with a blank face.
Saul remembered that although Mentor Rum had been in a good mood just now, Mentor Kaz didn't seem to smile much.
There was even an impatience in him.
"Something must have happened that I didn't know about!" Thor withdrew his gaze, saluted the two mentors, and left Rum's room.
And until he walked out of the door, he didn't hear Mentor Rum and Mentor Kaz speak again.
"Something must have happened! Why can't you tell me? Or rather, why just wait for Mentor Gorsa to tell me? ”
Hayden was waiting for Thor at the 16th floor ramp of the East Tower.
But when he saw Thor and greeted him, the latter ignored him and just walked down thoughtfully.
This made Hayden nervous as well.
Although he was surprised that the regular soul perfusion test had suddenly stopped, he naturally felt more confident than the other test subjects when he thought that Thor could perform soul infusion independently.
And when he looked at Thor, the latter nodded at him calmly, which also made Hayden feel more at ease.
But unexpectedly, when Saul came out of Rum's tutor's room, he also behaved so solemnly, and Hayden immediately "chuckled" in his heart.
"Lord Thor?" She couldn't help but trot two steps and followed.
Thor paused, sorted out his thoughts, and said to Hayden, "You go back and rest first, although the wound is healed, it is not suitable to join the new experiment immediately." ”
"Okay." Hayden nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, go back and brush up on your skills in the morgue."
Hayden was stunned, and Mu Mu's expression looked even more dumbfounded.
"Starting tomorrow, you'll also be taking part in a pilot test for Oman. You'll be in charge of observing the logs, and I'll have other things to do. ”
Hayden finally reacted, but she was a little uneasy.
"My lord, my hands may not be as steady as they used to be."
Thor nodded, "I know, but don't forget, I didn't really let you be an experimental subject when I asked you to follow me. You've lost your first precious thing, so don't let the second one be unfamiliar. ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Hayden, who was stunned in place, and quickly walked down the east tower.
And Hayden was still silently saying in place: "The second ...... The adults are talking about the abilities that I have cultivated in the morgue for more than ten years. But what is the first precious thing? ”
Hayden thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out.
Thor asked Hayden to go back on his own, except to think about the last revelation from Mentor Rum and Mentor Kaz, that is, to find someone.
Mentor Rum revealed to him, consciously or unconsciously, that Soul Infusion had used the eyes of the Thousand-Eyed Banshee of the Land Walker as a material. However, because Gorsa no longer trades with land boats, the original materials can no longer be used.
Coupled with Rum's act of uncovering the subject's skull today, Thor immediately thought of Khonsha, who had only half a head left and a new head full of eyeballs.
Ever since Khonsha got the news about the elves at the meeting, Thor had barely heard from her.
But judging by Heywood's reaction when he tried to stop it, Khonsha was afraid that he was going to do something very dangerous.
I just don't know if she's successful, or if she's ...... Dead outside.
Thor drove to the dormitory of the second-level apprentice, raised his hand, and knocked Kongsha's door.
But after waiting for a while, no one came out.
At this moment, someone came out of a nearby door, and when he looked up, he saw Thor waiting at the door of Khontha.
"Ah, Thor...... Senior. The other party was a little hesitant at first, but he still took the initiative to say hello.
Thor looked sideways, and it turned out to be an acquaintance.
Monroe, a second-level apprentice who has mastered almost all Tier 0 sorcery and numerous Tier 1 sorcery. He is still teaching new apprentices the basics of everything.
There was a first-level apprentice who called him "a walking knowledge base".
But it seems that too much energy is scattered over expanding the breadth of knowledge, and Monroe has not been promoted in recent years.
In addition, he hardly participates in other activities except reading books, and among high-level apprentices, he is actually quite transparent.
On the other hand, Saul has long been biased. But the speed at which he has improved is there for all to see.
Becoming a third-level apprentice in three years, this speed has already broken the record of the Wizard Tower.
Already a legend among apprentices.
It's just that Thor rarely comes into contact with other apprentices, and usually sees corpses and mentors the most, neither of which shows much surprise at his rapid progress.
"Monroe Senpai."
Saul didn't ask him to do anything, and Monroe answered a lot of questions for him - although they were answered for a fee, but Saul had great respect for the seniors who helped him.
"Are you looking for Khonsha?"
"Well, I have some questions for her."
"She's been away from the tower for a long time. So long that some people suspected that she had died outside. ”
Thor sighed.
He also had this speculation.
If Khonsha really went to the "Elven Valley" that Billy said, maybe she really wouldn't be able to come back.
She is not young now, only a year or half a year away from turning thirty.
Risking her life to go to the Elven Valley is probably her last chance to be promoted to the third level.
Khonsha wasn't in the tower, and there was no one to answer the questions Thor wanted to ask.
Thinking of this, Saul looked up at Monroe and said, "Thank you." ”
Thor tried to turn away, but Monroe stopped him.
"Thor, Khontha went to look for you before she left. But you didn't seem to be there at that time, so she asked me to give you something when I met you. ”
"Give it to me?" Thor was a little surprised, he remembered that after he traded elves with Kongsha and whispered, the two of them had almost no intersection, and the other party actually came to look for him before leaving?
If it was before today, Thor might not have wanted it at all, but just after doing the soul infusion experiment, Thor was really curious about Khonsha's situation.
"What's that? Let me see. ”
Thor didn't stretch out his hand, he wouldn't necessarily accept Khontha's stuff.
Then Monroe dug into his clothes.
Thor frowned secretly, "What is it, Monroe actually carries with him?" ”
"Huh? Where did it go? I remember putting it on my body. ”
Monroe rummaged up and down for a while, but couldn't find it. It stands to reason that this shouldn't happen to a serious wizard apprentice.
"Maybe I put it in the dorm. Come with me into the room and have a look. Monroe looked up and asked Thor to enter his dormitory.
Saul's feet had just taken a step after Monroe before he stopped where he was.
Monroe didn't follow when he heard the footsteps, and turned back with his hand on the door frame, "What's wrong?" ”
Thor smiled, "I'd better wait here for my seniors." ”
Then he added, "Actually, I don't really want to accept Khonsha's gift. ”
Monroe didn't seem to expect Thor to say this, and stood still, only one eye exposed because of the obscuration of the door.
The eye stared at Thor for about three seconds.
The atmosphere became a little weird.
Thor raised his hand, his fingertips facing each other, but he didn't hesitate, and looked back at Monroe quietly as well.
Then Monroe suddenly moved, and he walked into the room and rummaged through it quickly.
About half a minute later, Monroe's surprised voice came from the room.
"So here."
Then Thor heard a strange "cooing" sound, and he suddenly took two steps forward and went straight to the door of Monroe's dormitory and looked inside.
He saw that Monroe's hand had just been lowered from his face, and he happened to be looking at him as well.
Monroe was still clutching the eyeballs that had been roughly plucked out of his sockets.
His eyelids were rudely torn apart, and blood soon filled half of his face, and his collar was wet.
Thor raised an eyebrow.
If Monroe were to give him a distorted eyeball...... He won't take it!
But Monroe only glanced down at his apparently broken eyeball, threw it to the ground, and then raised his hand again, two fingers into the empty, bloody sockets.
The friction of the fingers and muscles, lubricated by the blood, made a strange "cooing" sound again.
Then, two of his fingers were withdrawn from his eye sockets, and the tips of his fingers seemed to be pinching something.
Just "as if".
Because at Monroe's fingertips, it was empty, and there was nothing at all.
Monroe looked at Thor and slowly straightened his arms.
"Here, come and get it."
