Chapter 7: Behind the Seal
Unlike Mentor Gorsa, Thor's teleportation ability is very limited.
His teleportation must be connected to the Destiny Line.
And you can't go wherever you want, like Gorsa.
Before Thor came to the Old Manor, he asked Add to come early.
Add didn't know that Thor needed him to teleport over, and thought he was here to explore.
He began to report to Thor on his discoveries.
"Lord Tower, I've checked here, and since the last time I sealed the Eye of the Storm, no other contamination has been born. Cleaner than most of the Borderlands. ”
Thor nodded, "Is there anyone else passing by nearby during this time?" ”
"There are people going to Rhine City, but whether it is a caravan or a lone wanderer, they will basically not come near here."
After all, it used to be the place where the eye of the storm erupted, and for fear of potential pollution, ordinary wizards were reluctant to approach.
Only Add, who has witnessed Thor's ability to help him clean up the contamination from his body, is not as jealous of the old manor as the others, which once had an eye of the storm.
Listening to Add's report, Thor's eyes fell on the dilapidated roof of the old manor.
"Okay, I got it. Then you get out of here and don't tell anyone about me here. If someone asks you about the old manor......"
Eddie immediately answered, "I said that it was for the development of Rhine City and the safety of the nearby area. ”
Thor glanced at Add.
An eye popped out of the other's forehead and quickly disappeared.
These people seem to have treated him like a city lord.
Thor didn't refuse.
Although he won't really be a city lord and manage a city.
He doesn't forget that he's a wizard. The road ahead will only walk in the endless unknown.
Although the road is difficult and dangerous, there is no need to pray to heaven when danger comes.
After Add leaves, Thor enters the Old Manor.
The original rules here have been completely broken by the eye of the storm.
After the Eye of the Storm was sealed, it became very safe for the time being.
After a few years, when the deterrence of the Kuroshio Tide has passed, someone will definitely reoccupy this place.
Slowly climbing the crumbling wooden staircase, listening to the overwhelming cracking of the wood beneath his feet, Thor's body suddenly lightened.
When I took another step, there was no sound of footsteps.
He entered through the main entrance, which had been halfway off.
The main hall and corridors are covered with unknown hyphae. Some are off-white, others are black.
A flash of fire flashed.
Smoke immediately rose from the room, and the mycelium was burned to pieces by the heat, revealing the spacious hallway.
Now, Thor has mastered the wizard with great care, and in the blink of an eye, the fire only burned the mycelium, but did not harm the surrounding walls and the old carpet beneath his feet.
Following the familiar passageway, Thor made his way to the basement of the manor again.
The original owner of the manor was once alienated here, dying of helplessness and despair.
And a giant rat devours the wizard of death and becomes the mastermind behind the entire manor.
Once everyone thought that if the evil spirit of the rat and the original owner was solved, this place would no longer be dangerous.
But then there was an outbreak of Kuroshio current pollution.
Thor walked through the overturned lab equipment to the place where the giant rat had died.
All that was left was a black stain, and nothing was going on.
But when the diary appeared in Saul's hand, the surrounding peace immediately boiled like boiling water.
"Sure enough, the eye of the storm first erupted from here, only to move outside later, but the root cause is still here."
Carefully observing the lines condensed above the journal, Thor raised his hand, and several black blades appeared around his body.
His index finger is a little forward.
The black blade beside him immediately sank into the ground.
Like cutting tofu, a large hole is dug into the ground in just a few breaths.
The ground at Thor's feet quickly collapsed, but he remained where he was, suspended in the air.
After digging down about three or four meters, a strangely shaped disc appeared in front of Thor's eyes.
He then fell, raising his hand to brush the dirt off the disc.
The disc is cold to the touch, as if you have reached into the deep sea in the middle of the night.
"This is the effect of the Ice Lock Circle." Thor quickly saw the hidden lines on the disc, "This is what you did after sealing the Eye of the Storm?" It doesn't seem to be supervised either. ”
Thor also learned a lot about the history of the Borderlands during this time. The sealed eye of the storm has never broken through the seal twice.
This seems to be a special property of the space in question.
Therefore, these places where the eye of the storm once appeared will no longer be paid attention to.
This made it easier for Thor.
Because he's here today to wreak havoc.
"I'm not very good at earth-based witchcraft. But ......"
Thor lifted his foot and stomped lightly on the ground.
The dirt beneath his feet and around him immediately flowed like mercury and gradually closed over Thor's head.
Then the soil hardened, turning the large pit that Thor had just dug into an enclosed space.
In this small dark space, Thor raised his hand to light several balls of light, and then he used his magic power to draw a witchcraft circle directly on the walls of the four weeks.
These circles have Byron's inertization formula and the ability to seal energy to prevent leakage.
At the same time, he borrowed part of the content of the spatial teleportation circle he bought in the archaeological city to strengthen the spatial stability in this small room.
After half a day of preparation, Thor took a deep breath, and the flesh and blood organs in his body instantly became transparent, and then they were absorbed by a black skeleton like a drop of water falling into the desert.
A pitch-black skeleton with only a white skeleton between the index finger of his left hand crouched down again.
"Click, click."
Without sinew, the bones connected by mysterious power collided with each other and made a sound like grinding teeth.
The only white bone in his left hand slowly pressed against the center of the ice lock seal.
A strong stream of cold air flowed into Thor's fingertips.
"It's really cold this time." The black bone frame laughed at itself, and instead of dodging, it continued to press hard against the center of the ice lock circle.
While testing the seal with the white anchor point of his fingertips, Thor kept adjusting the diary, keeping an eye out for the lines on it to project a dangerous omen.
After an hour, Thor felt as if he had sensed something through the sealing circle.
But it's just a vague feeling, and it's not certain if there's something underneath the seal.
After trying for a while, there was no progress other than that vague feeling, and Thor had to get up.
If you don't stop, you won't be able to.
By this time, many black water droplets had precipitated into the enclosed space that Thor had improvised for, like the mist on the windows of the interior in winter.
But these black droplets are not honest.
They resemble drowning people struggling, writhing and writhing in order to break away from the dirt walls.
Although Thor didn't look at the black droplets, his mental power covered the entire room.
Through the perception of mental power, he could clearly "see" a few drops of black water that had broken free from the wall.
But when the droplets broke free from the wall, they revealed a face connected below.
The rounded droplets here are not really droplets.
Rather, it is the rounded head of the upper half of each human head.
They reveal faces that had been buried in the walls, just like Thor!
The hollow mouths opened and closed, and layers of sound entered Thor's brain.
"No...... Meaning......"
I'll change it today, and I'll try to make it up tomorrow
