Chapter 406: False? Authentic?
"They killed Gorsa Mentor!"
Heywood was unusually furious, his skinny hands clenched into fists, waving in front of his chest.
It seems that he wants to beat the rebels again.
"I know that the eyes in those mezzanine will make a history of this hundred years." Thor was amused.
In their conception, it is normal to set Gorsa as betrayed and die.
After all, these eyes may have died because of the tower owner before their death.
After his death, he was imprisoned forever in the mezzanine, dozing off day by day.
However, Thor still showed a shocked look, "You mean that someone killed the tower master and destroyed the wizard tower?" ”
He was also appropriately suspicious, "How could a group of first-order wizards kill the tower master?" ”
"I don't know exactly how it went." Heywood looked regretful, "It was the final step in Lady Yola's resurrection experiment. And because of the preparation of the pre-experiment, I ran out of strength and had to rest in the first warehouse. ”
Unexpectedly, while I was half asleep, the upper layer of the wizard tower suddenly emitted huge fluctuations in magic power and spiritual power. I was just about to get up when I heard a loud bang and I was stunned almost without any resistance. ”
When I woke up, I wanted to see what was going on. As a result, I saw that several mentors were besieging Gorsa Mentor, and the state of the mentor was obviously wrong, not right......"
The old Heywood began to tremble, and when the wind blew again, most of the silver threads were taken away, revealing the skin that seemed to be badly burned underneath.
At the same time, Thor also made Thor see that there was a pit in the back of his head where Heidi was originally parasitized, as if half of the human brain had been hollowed out!
"I was going to save my mentor." The old Heywood didn't notice the change in himself at all, he still stared at the sky in a daze, "But as I passed, the mentor suddenly began to burst with snowflakes all over his body. ”
Thor frowned, thinking, "Snowflakes? Isn't it a blood flower? Isn't that what the half-elf looked like when he died? Could it be that this illusion is referencing my recent memories? ”
As a specialty of a large family with at least third-order official wizards, Thor didn't dare to guarantee that the contents of the mezzanine would have abilities similar to those of Nightmare Butterflies.
But he has a diary to protect him, and the history of his soul itself also has secrets that cannot be snooped into, so it should be difficult to see his memories under normal circumstances.
Or rather, this illusion is like a dream, although it is initiated by someone else, but the content of the dream is actually created by himself.
Of course, there are other possibilities, such as the idea that the content comes from someone else's mind......
Thor had the heart to determine the cause of the illusion, so he tried to ask, "How can there be snowflakes on the mentor?" ”
Heywood shook his head, "I don't know, no one knows." All I saw was the snowflakes...... The snowflakes polluted everyone, all the spirits, all the plants in the vicinity......"
I was scared, scared, scared, and didn't think about anything, so I went into the abandoned underground lab and hid in the deepest part of the Soul Eater Swamp. But despite this, I was contaminated. It was Heidi who actively absorbed all the pollution and then blew herself out of my body to save my life. ”
I was in a daze for decades before I slowly came to my senses, caught an outside hunter and asked, only to know how long time had passed. Only then did I know that almost all the people in the Wizard Tower were dead. Only me and a few apprentice wizards who hadn't returned from the trip survived. ”
The old Heywood bowed his head and put his hands out of his sleeves.
Those hands were like knotted branches in the night, and they were extremely stiff when they tried to move.
"But I've lost most of my strength because of this, and I'm barely a first-level apprentice."
After he finished speaking, he looked up again and looked at Thor's face, "Where the hell have you been?" Some people think you're dead, and some people speculate that you already knew that the tower owner had pollution on his body and ran away. But when I look at you today, it seems that you are exactly the same as when you disappeared. ”
Heywood's gaze fell from Thor's face to his clothes, "The clothes are all exactly the same, without any signs of wear. It's like time stands still in you. ”
Thor stepped forward, the soles of his feet rustling against the weeds.
"Me? I somehow fell into a pit, and when I climbed out, I saw the world become like this, and you came out and told me that a hundred years had passed. ”
Thor continued to move closer to Heywood.
The latter did not react at first, but gradually became afraid.
He took a step back, tripped over the masonry behind his feet, and staggered two steps.
Seeing that the other party had the intention of retreating, Thor immediately kicked the ground with both feet and quickly chased after him.
Heywood turned around and wanted to run, but how could his flawed body outrun the young and strong Thor?
Soon he was grabbed by Thor by the back of his neck and pressed against the broken wall.
"What are you going to do?" Heywood struggled in panic, not at all with the demeanor of a top-level third-level apprentice a hundred years ago.
It seemed that pollution and death had drained his spirits.
"Don't worry, I didn't plan to kill you." Thor easily restrained the other party, but it was not as simple as consuming an illusion product.
As the only creature in the entire illusion that has autonomous consciousness and the ability to respond to reactions, the numerical values and data on his body are worth studying and analyzing.
Thor leaned out his mental power and felt the fluctuations in the other party's feedback. After that, he took a closer look at Heywood's injuries and physical condition.
"The numbers look so real." Thor let go of the old Heywood, who was suddenly a little less sure.
Is this really just an illusion created by the Wraith's Eyes?
How could those eyes produce such plausible data unless they experienced it firsthand?
Heywood coughed lightly, both from his appearance and from the data that Thor had just perceived, his body was very weak.
I don't know how to live for a hundred years.
At this time, the sunlight behind the two began to dim.
The sun is setting.
Heywood wasn't angry, "Are you testing me?" I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. It's getting dark, and we must enter the ruins of the Wizard's Tower, or deadly guests will come to the door. ”
Seeing Heywood so calm, Thor didn't make any more moves, "What kind of enemy?" Wouldn't it be okay to get out of here? ”
Heywood had already begun to turn and walk back.
"It's useless, whether you stay in the night, or try to leave, you will be killed by those guys who are staring at you. I just walked around the surrounding forest, caught a few nearby hunters, and almost died there. If I hadn't woken up in time and rushed back here, I would have died at the hands of ordinary people. ”
Those horrors seemed to absorb all the resentment in the wizard's tower, incomparably terrifying, incomparably powerful. They are forever shrouded in the perimeter of the Wizard's Tower, like a nightmare. ”
"So powerful? Can't even get out? ”
"That's right." Seeing that Thor didn't follow, Heywood couldn't help but turn around and ask helplessly, "You can't get over?" Don't worry about any traps here. As you should have seen just now, I don't even have the power to activate a large witchcraft circle. It won't be your opponent at all. ”
Thor smiled, and finally stepped along.
"I'm just curious about the enemies you're talking about, and want to see what they look like. Listen to your description, some of them look like evil spirits. ”
"If only it were just evil spirits. In a moment, it will be completely dark, and you will see. ”
Heywood led Thor through a door in the West Tower.
Because only part of the Wizard's Tower was left on the first floor and a small number of second floors, Heywood had been living on the first floor of the West Tower for all these years.
It used to be a garbage dump, but it was also possible to find a lot of supplies.
Heywood built a small house in the middle of this garbage dump.
The first thing Heywood did when he entered the dilapidated building was to light a candle.
This candle light is very familiar, it is the white candle that can be seen everywhere in the Wizard's Tower.
"After dark, you must not leave the range of the candle's light source."
Heywood turned around, and the white light shone on his face, making the scars on his face even more horrible to the core.
"Or you'll die."
