Chapter Seventy-One: You're Dead
Although the Borderlands is full of dangers, since he has chosen to settle here and build the Wizard Tower, Thor can't just avoid it.
And he has a death wizard diary, and in this kind of place where danger can come at any time, he is the most advantageous person.
"Let's take a look." Thor thought, and walked forward.
He didn't plan to enter the village, but wanted to get closer and take a closer look.
The village is small and there are no walls. There is only one road in the village. Around that street, a number of one- and two-story gray low houses were built one after another. The closer the house is to the street, the more complete and the bigger it is.
There didn't seem to be many people on the street, but I could hear people talking.
"A village that is not usually visible, but can be discovered by the Wandering Eye. It is impossible to be without problems. β
The side effects of the Eye of Exile have grown, and the colors of the rainbow halo around Thor are getting more and more colorful.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could even see some colors without the help of the Wandering Eye.
Thor reached out to endure the pain and gouged the Eye of Exile out of his palm.
In such a short period of time, several white substances that appeared to be roots or nerves had grown from behind the Eye of Exile, and the flesh that had pierced into Thor was two centimeters long.
Thor snapped his fingers and burned the white material from behind him, before returning the Eye of Exile to its storage.
Despite the Eye of Exile, Thor's village has not disappeared.
Apparently when Thor discovered the village, it could no longer hide.
"The diary hasn't been prompted yet, it seems that the danger is not ......"
Thor thought as he took two more steps forward, but as soon as he remembered that the diary was unprompted, the diary in his spirit body suddenly spread out, and then the pages of the book "clattered" to a new white chapter.
[New Year's Calendar, October 17, 317
At the same time, you'll wake up in the same bed,
Put on the same clothes, push open the door and say hello to the same people,
With the same jokes, getting the same teasing,
When you go to bed at the same time at night, you will have the same doubts,
This same life is the same plain,
In the same way, you can't imagine that this is also the place where you will be resting. γ
Death Warning!
Thor's footsteps froze in mid-air, then retracted after a few seconds.
"This death warning, there is no hint of how to crack it." Thor's chin rested and didn't think about it for long.
Herman: [Master, what do we do next?] γ
"Get around here."
This village was just a little scenery on his journey, and Thor didn't even count as a passer-by in the village, so there was no need for him to insist on entering after the diary issued a death warning.
"Borderlands is full of dangers, but I just need to find a relatively safe place for now, and put up the wizard tower first."
Thor turned, ready to leave.
Just as he turned, a flatbed carriage drove by, almost grazing his front.
"This car...... When did it appear behind me? Thor was stunned and took two steps back in an instant.
Agu: [We haven't found out when it appeared.] γ
"Oh, young man, I'm sorry I just got distracted and didn't notice you standing in the middle of the road." The coachman, dressed as an ordinary farmer, apologized to Thor with an apologetic face.
Thor didn't speak.
He hadn't even sensed anyone approaching at all.
What's more, it's still a carriage with a horse-drawn carriage, the back of which is full of straw, and a big cart with an iron straw fork!
I'm afraid this guy in front of me is not human.
Thor's coldness didn't deter the farmer, he was still talking.
"It's all my fault, I've been wondering where little Claude has gone, he's been missing for so many days...... Did you see Little Claude? With that, the farmer looked at Thor wistfully.
But Thor still ignored him, just looking back at his carriage.
At this glance, Thor's face became a little ugly.
The carriage, which was obviously only a few hundred meters away from him, was nowhere to be seen at this time.
Thor didn't hear Marsh driving away.
"Did I enter some kind of illusion?"
Morton: [Tsk, Illusion, that's a bit of a problem.] γ
"Hey, are you listening to me?" Seeing that Thor had been ignoring him, the farmer got out of the car and walked up to Thor closer, "Did you see little Claude?" It's just a red-haired, big-nosed, ten-year-old boy who's about this tall. β
Judging by the man's peasant dress and the direction in which the wagon was traveling, he must have something to do with the village in front of him.
Thor, who had already decided not to enter the village, ignored the farmer's question and turned to go back to Marsh first.
Ignored twice, the farmer's expression darkened.
"Why don't you answer me? Why leave? Little Claude has been missing for so long, he must have been killed. β
"Did you kill him? Isn't it? β
Thor glanced back at him, the expression on the farmer's face completely distorted.
and the farmer who just politely apologized is like two people.
"There's something wrong with this man." Sol had no intention of dwelling on these visions, and he turned away.
Ignored again, the farmer was completely furious.
"Sure enough, you killed Little Claude, you must have killed Little Claude!" The farmer turned around and pulled out the iron fork from the haystack and stabbed Thor in the back of the heart.
Ann: [Master, he's attacking you!] Hee-hee. γ
With his back to the farmer, Thor raised his hand and swung a ball of fire backwards.
However, before the fireball could touch the farmer, it suddenly dissipated.
Sensing that his sorcery had failed, Thor turned around in shock, and was immediately stabbed through the chest and abdomen with an iron fork.
The spirit armor technique that automatically appeared on his body didn't have the slightest effect on blocking him.
"How...... Possible? Thor spurted a mouthful of blood and looked at the farmer in disbelief.
γMaster! γ*4γ
The four consciousness bodies also let out a roar of destruction of the three views!
Even at this time, the farmer in front of him was still just an ordinary person, without the slightest fluctuation of magic power on his body.
The feeling of weakness quickly spread from the fatal wound in the chest to the whole body. The wizard's strong physical fitness was also completely ineffective at this point.
New text appeared in the diary.
You're going to die. γ
"I'll go!" Thor couldn't believe that he would die at the hands of a completely inconspicuous-looking farmer!
But at this time, he no longer had the slightest strength, and his body began to weaken.
"Great, I've avenged little Claude!" The farmer laughed, and his expression returned to normal.
With great strength, he half-lifted Thor and threw him onto the cart, then completely covered Thor with the straw on the cart.
Thor was like an ordinary person, completely unable to move, and the pain in his chest was terrifyingly real.
He felt as if his left shoulder was being weighed down by something heavy, and he turned to the left with the last of his eyes that could still move.
Behind the dense straw, Thor saw a face.
The face was childish, with short red hair and a big nose.
"Little ...... Claude ...... "Thor let out a weak breath.
Then, he could no longer support the heavy eyelids.
Darkness falls.
Before consciousness vanished, he could only see new handwriting appear in the diary.
You're dead. γ
β¦β¦
Suddenly, a golden light replaced the darkness.
As the light faded, Thor saw what he saw again.
In front of me is a very small village, with no walls, and there is only one road in the village.
No figure could be seen, but faint conversations could be heard.
Thor's face was shocked, and he stepped back again and again.
γMaster! γ*4
Again, the four consciousnesses spoke together.
In the end, it was Agu who made the spokesperson.
Agu: [Master, are you alright?] Just now, was it all an illusion just now? γ
Thor lowered his head, and the journal flew out and unfolded.
Just two lines [You're going to die. and You're dead. It's still on the white page, but it's crossed out.
Represents delete.
"What is this? Did I really die once? The golden light just now...... Could it be ......?"
Thor thought of something, and hurriedly flipped the diary forward, all the way to the golden pages.
He now has a total of three golden pages.
Now, a line drawing appears on the first golden page.
In the painting, Thor is seen lying in a straw pile with three large holes in his chest, gurgling with blood. His eyes were slightly closed, and he looked dead.
In the corner of the frame, another face is faintly visible.
Because it was a black line drawing, I couldn't see the color of the hair on this face, only a large nose.
The Golden Pages are finally here!
