Chapter 1: Elven Skin and Black Iron Coffin (1)
"Thor?" A familiar voice stopped him.
Thor turned around, only to realize that it was Mentor Kaz.
The wound on Kaz's neck has fully recovered, but he still looks pale and tired, and his mental state is especially bad.
"Mentor Kaz."
Kaz looked at Thor, looking him up and down like he had seen him for the first time.
"Well, who would have thought that you would be the first apprentice to become a full-fledged wizard?" Kaz shook his head again, "Maybe I'm not fit to be a mentor either. ”
"Mentor Kaz?" Thor stepped forward and wanted to help the other party, he had always known that Mentor Kaz was old, but when he saw him again today, he suddenly felt that his heart was also tired.
"I'm fine." Kaz saw that Thor was worried about him, waved his hand, and looked at the Wizard Tower in ruins, "I used to think that even if some of the ways of the Lord of the Gorsa Tower are indeed embarrassing, as long as we endure for a while and complete the resurrection experiment, we will be able to live well." But I still underestimated their greed and repression, and the firewood eventually turned into an irrepressible fire, and the funny thing is that they only burned themselves to ashes in the end. ”
Kaz looked at Thor again, endured it, and finally whispered: "The tower master still wants to resurrect Yura, he didn't really give up, you have to be careful." Maybe he'll be grateful for your help now, but if one day, he still can't achieve his goal, it's still possible to get back to eyeing you. ”
"I ...... Understood, thank you, Mentor Kaz. ”
Thor understands Kaz's concerns.
Saul once thought that as long as the resurrection experiment was completed, Gorsa would achieve his goal, but now it seems that he wanted to resurrect Yura, not to resurrect his beloved wife.
Because if the tower master really likes Yura, he won't see the other party so painful and indifferent.
When Saul thinks about the "kill me" he had heard in the puppet three years ago, he understands that the real Eula can't stand the pain of resurrection.
At this time, Gorsa's usual gentleness has become a suffocating cage.
As the two spoke, one after another, apprentices came from the distant forest.
There are not many people, less than ten.
Thor saw several familiar faces in it, including George, his former manservant companion, and Cullom, who loved to dance with corpses, and even had a full female corpse in his arms.
None of these apprentices are particularly powerful apprentices, or are lone rangers like Cullom.
Originally, they had no presence in the Wizard Tower, but they became the type of people with the most survivors.
Of course, there are still some second- and third-level apprentices who have not returned.
These people seemed to regard Mentor Kaz as the backbone, and they surrounded them with a panicked face. Only George cautiously greeted Thor.
Since becoming a wizard's apprentice, he has finally understood the gap between himself and Thor. At the same time, he also realized that wizards are not a safe identity, and sometimes terror becomes more and more dangerous as his strength increases.
This caused him to not dare to get too close to Thor later.
Because the aura on the other party's body will make him tremble.
"Ahh It's Saul-sama! George had a thumb-sized ball of flesh on the left side of his neck, and a boy's innocent voice came from it.
"Shh George hurriedly covered the sarcoma.
Thor nodded at him, "That's your brother?" ”
George bowed down and said, "Yes, he said he wanted a head too, and I wanted to grow a human facial tumor." ”
"Mess around!" Kaz scolded beside him, "The human face tumor is very easy to alienate, and even pollute yourself, who taught you to do this?" ”
George was dumbfounded and said the name of a third-level apprentice, only to find that the other party had died in the wizard's tower.
"Really!" Kaz sighed, "I used to focus on resurrection experiments, but now I don't need to do experiments, so I can discipline you fools." ”
I don't know why, after saying this, the sluggish decadence on Kaz's body suddenly weakened a lot.
Watching Mentor Kaz reprimand the apprentices in front of him one by one, Thor couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
When the sun went down, Kaz and the others lit a bonfire by the ruins.
With this little light, Kaz and the other apprentices who came back one after another began to clear the ruins of the Wizard's Tower.
Thor was also inside, looking for the first storeroom. Because in addition to some of the materials he left there, Hayden was still lying in the sarcophagus!
Fortunately, although the wizard tower topple, it was mainly the upper part that was torn apart, and it was broken horizontally from the tenth floor down and fell to the ground.
Below the fourth floor, it is even relatively well preserved.
However, even so, most of the stewards and servants did not survive.
The collapse of the Wizard's Tower set off a chain reaction of some sorcery materials. These sorcery materials, even if mundane, can be dangerous for non-wizards, so many have died beyond recognition when they are dug up.
In order to recover as much of Gorsa's unwanted assets as possible, Kaz took the remaining apprentices and minions to clean up the rubble, and finally let them pack up a lot of good things.
However, Thor noticed that the more elusive steward, who was in charge of all the butlers, was not here.
There were neither bodies nor among the survivors.
"Did you take it away from Gorsa too?" Thor thought to himself.
Early the next morning, Kaz found Thor again.
"We've almost cleaned up the rubble." Kaz smiled bitterly, "As a result, I found that the items in the rooms above the 19th floor are basically gone. Presumably taken away by Gorsa. Oh, I still want to see the tower owner's collection of books, it seems that I don't have this luck. How's it going over there? ”
The first floor of the East Tower belonged to Thor by default, and no one dared to come and steal it, not even Kaz deliberately did not approach.
"After the collapse of the Wizard's Tower, the bronze gate has also lost its vitality, and some of the materials in the first treasury have not been contaminated, so I will pick a little and leave the rest for you."
Kaz didn't refuse, the irresponsible tower master patted his ass and ran away, if he still wanted to take care of the surviving apprentices, he had to have enough supplies.
"Second Treasury ......"
"Take the second warehouse with you, take it all with you. The materials there are dangerous, and the Level 3 apprentices can't use them casually. ”
Thor was tempted, but he really didn't have such a big backpack, and even the compressed bag was only a few cubic meters of space, which couldn't fit a storeroom.
"The bodies in the second storehouse are all decomposed. There are also many materials that rely on sandwiches to divide and preserve. When I went, some of the materials were fighting, and some of them were lost. Saul described with a smile.
"I still took some of it, and a lot more, so I'll leave it to you, mentor."
"That's fine. You carry them all, and it's dangerous. Kaz took it again, and after a moment he asked, "Thor, ...... you Are you leaving? ”
"Hmm." Saul did not deny it.
"You, did you take away all the resentful spirits in the mezzanine?"
Thor was stunned, but he didn't expect Mentor Kaz to find out, so he directly admitted, "Yes, Mentor Gorsa should have planned it from the beginning and will leave when the experiment is successful, so he once said that he would leave the Wizard Tower to me...... As a result, now the ready-made wizard tower fell. Still, Gorsa gave me something very important. The wraith-shards are in there, too. ”
Kaz opened his mouth, he seemed interested, but after thinking about it and not asking.
"Well, young man, you should go out and explore. When I'm done cleaning up, I'm going to head to the Duchy of Kema with apprentices who are willing to follow me. ”
Thor was stunned, he didn't expect Kaz to leave too.
"Aren't you going to rebuild the Wizard's Tower here?"
Kaz smiled and waved his hand, "How am I qualified to build a wizard's tower?" Besides, this place was given to the Lord of Gorsa by the Principality of Kema, and I can't stop it. ”
"There are also some small wizarding organizations within the Principality of Kema, and I plan to find a suitable place to live and settle there. By the way, the name of the organization is called the Necronomical Garden, if you go to the Principality of Kema in the future, you can go and see it. ”
In the mouth of Mentor Kaz, it seems that he has established and carried forward the organization of the Garden of the Necromancy.
Suddenly, a silver butterfly catches Thor eye, followed by Penny's lively doll voice.
"Brother Thor, Kerry is awake."
Thor was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily as he said goodbye to Kaz.
"Mentor Kaz, Kerry is awake, I'll go check first."
"Go, go!" Kaz hurriedly waved his hand.
Thor followed Nightmare Butterfly from the garden straight into a large pit, and before falling to the bottom of the pit, a thigh-thick black tentacle followed him underneath.
Thor trotted over and saw that Senior Byron was there.
The two of them nodded, and Thor rushed to the side of Klee, who was dressed in a metal shell.
"Klee, are you awake?"
Because of the metal armor, Klee's voice hummed.
"Cut a few holes for me, I'm going to suffocate!"
It's the last day of the month, so it's not too much to ask for 300 monthly passes~
