Chapter 56: Conspiracy
Kent's words made Thor look a little uneasy.
He put down his hand, turned and walked down the stairwell.
"If Char is sure that I can't come back, then his attack will definitely be directed at my residence. I'm going to go back and see. ”
Kent followed closely behind Thor's flank.
"I'll go with you."
Morton deliberately took a step behind Kent. The four wizards who came in with Kent didn't follow, and they all seemed to have their own tasks.
Entering the stairwell, Thor didn't start running wildly. He glanced at the thick branches that occupied the left passage, and walked steadily upward.
As he moved, the branches next to him grew in sync.
"Is this plant some Tier 4 sorcery? Dean Pound is also here? ”
"It's not. The Dean will not leave the College easily. This is a witchcraft scroll made by the dean himself, and a giant tree grows. Although not as powerful as the dean's own wield, it was enough to seal off the entire building. ”
"What do you think the source of the pollution will be?"
"I don't know. There is everything in this world, and the real source of pollution may not be understood until you see it. ”
Thor was silent.
They walked six floors in the stairwell, but there were still ten floors to go from Thor's room.
The spiral staircase seems to have no end, and the picture is consistent up and down, giving the illusion of overlapping time and space.
"Wizard Thor, I wonder how Wizard Char tricked you into going out to find him?" Kent spoke suddenly.
He said...... You secretly nurture evil spirits to kill those who want to leave the city. ”
Kent laughed and his shoulders shook, "Hahaha, so it won't be me, if I want to cultivate evil spirits, I don't need to do this at all." Isn't the natural evil spirit of this city enough for me? ”
Thor was silent.
Kent glanced at Morton, who had been staring at him cautiously behind him, and asked Saul again: "Well, Char must have wored a terrible scene for you, and tricked you into cooperating with him to investigate me in order to protect yourself, right?" ”
"Almost." Thor's attention didn't seem to be on Kent, his pace slowing down, and even the branches growing around him had surpassed him.
"I'm a little curious about how Char lied to people. Does he say something horrible, strange? For example...... Handstand or something? ”
……
Meanwhile, Char and Julie are running through an underground garbage treatment plant.
Julie was in a mess at this time, and her skin was not as smooth as before.
She complained, "I really shouldn't have taken your word for it." ”
Char looked around vigilantly and replied to Julie, "Come on, you and Thor have lived here for seven or eight years, and this time you will agree to come over, it must be because you have also discovered something!" ”
Julie bit her lip, "I don't know anything!" ”
After running for a few minutes, the two came to a dead end, where there was no way to leave upwards, and the rustle behind them was getting closer and closer.
Julie shook her gray hair, and finally became a little anxious, "Aren't you the best at running away?" Find a way! ”
"It's strange, there is obviously a small exit here." Char ignored Julie and just stared at the wall in front of him in a daze.
"How did you step on it beforehand?" Julie grumbled, staring nervously behind her.
"I didn't expect it...... Kent's means turned out to be so powerful. Char's eyes rolled, as if thinking about how to break away.
He suddenly looked at Julie beside him and muttered, "Could it be that Thor didn't come over this time because he noticed something?" No, he's only been here for a few months, how can he know more than I know? ”
"How much do you think Thor knows?"
"I think ......," Char was about to answer, but suddenly realized that it was not Julie who had just spoken.
And Julie was looking at the way they had come with a look of horror at the moment.
An old man with white hair and a wooden staff as tall as a human being walked out of the passage and stood in front of Char and Julie.
"Dean Pound?" Julie's mouth opened in disbelief.
Char, on the other hand, didn't look so surprised.
"Hmm, hello, Wizard Julie. Char Wizard wasn't too surprised, didn't you already know that Kent was behind me? ”
Char licked her dry lips and took two steps back, her back against the wall where she had lost her escape route inexplicably.
"I don't know. At first, I just thought that even if Kent wanted a large number of evil spirits, he should not be able to use the means of secretly cultivating evil spirits in his capacity as the actual organizer of the Sweeper. Evil spirits can't be absorbed directly, and he can't use so many evil spirits. ”
Char looked at Dean Pang De and showed a wry smile, "Now I understand, if it is Baidong Academy that needs evil spirits, then I am afraid that the number of evil spirits will not be enough." ”
Julie's hair trembled with fear.
She dared to join Char and secretly investigate the Kent wizard, but she didn't dare to confront the second-order wizard Pound.
She wasn't the group of mad mentors in the Wizard Tower, and she even wanted to assassinate a second-order wizard.
"You don't have to be so nervous." Pound raised his hand, and a white rose suddenly bloomed at the top of the wooden staff he was holding, "You are all honorary tutors of the academy, and I am not a murderer. Now that you've discovered this secret, let's officially join Baidong College as a mentor. ”
Julie's heart was suddenly relieved. She secretly released the seven-colored aperture, and Dean Pound did not have black for killing intent and gray for deception.
In other words, if she agrees to officially join Baidong College as a mentor, then she will be able to survive.
To become a formal mentor, you must sign a contract. The other mentors kept the contents of the contract secret, but the conditions inside were obviously not too lenient.
However, a temporary loss of freedom is acceptable compared to death.
Julie immediately raised the corners of her stiff mouth, "That's great, Dean, I'm willing to join." ”
But Char wasn't so well-behaved.
"Dean Pound, in fact, we only discovered the place where Kent cultivated evil spirits, and we didn't notice what happened in the academy......"
Pound didn't give Char a chance to finish his sentence at all, "Become an official tutor at the academy, or try to escape?" ”
Char's expression begging for mercy immediately retracted, "I knew that the development of Archaeological City to its current scale was all your conspiracy. Let me join? You think I didn't find any formal tutors...... Anyway, I don't care how you want to play, and I won't accompany you! ”
Char kept one hand on his neckline as he spoke.
And when he finished saying not to accompany him, his chest suddenly flickered a few times.
Dean Pound's expression sank, and as soon as the wooden staff was lifted for a minute, Char in front of him suddenly glowed all over his body, and then the whole person seemed to be burned into ashes by the light emitted from his body, and disappeared in place.
"Space teleportation circle?" Pound said silently.
Julie was also dumbfounded, "He actually hid the teleportation circle on his body?" Isn't he afraid of attracting monsters in the cracks of space? ”
"For the sake of a high-probability risk of death, it is worth risking a little bit of a low-probability death. Sometimes, I still admire Char. Dean Pound looked at where Char disappeared and didn't show surprise or disappointment, "But he forgot a little. ”
“…… What? Julie hugged her chest, and she felt that the dean had deliberately paused to wait for her to ask a question.
"In the face of absolute strength, it is useless to run away." Dean Pound smiled with satisfaction.
On the last day, don't waste your monthly pass
