Chapter 31: Beth's Sacrifice

Char no longer struggles, but he doesn't trust Thor.

"You? Treat me? Do you know what's going on with me? Do you think that in the name of healing, you can temporarily help me suppress the pollution, and then you can make me die for you? ”

It seemed that he had stayed in place for too long, and the streetlights in front of and behind Thor dimmed again.

The shadows also blurred Thor's expression.

But his voice was unusually clear.

"You may not know it, but in the years since I left Archaeological Ste, I have been working as a part-time physician, and I am still very good at treating pollution."

Thor's voice is natural and confident.

"And even if I don't know what happened to you, can you tell me? No matter how powerful a physician is, before treatment, he must understand the cause and symptoms from the patient. If you want to get out of the current predicament, just obediently cooperate with my treatment! ”

The sudden tough tone and the coercion of mental power made the moon in front of him and the orange cat behind him all half a cut shorter.

Startled by Thor's sudden strength, Char's lips trembled, but he said, "You really hide your strength." What level are you at now? What exactly are your plots? ”

It's really troublesome to trade with Char!

He always treats Thor as a profiteer and suspects him of his motives.

Although it is true that Thor is a profiteer.

Now, the patience of the "profiteer" ran out, and he pressed the moon to the ground and rubbed it, "Less nonsense, I'll ask you, to cure or not to cure?" ”

"Governance! Govern! Char's desire to survive finally overcame his paranoia, and he said in a loud voice.

"Governance! Govern! Meow! Even Kate in the back repeats mechanically.

Thor heard the cat meow, and when he looked back, Kate was already twenty meters away from him.

"Don't run around."

"Yes, yes!" The orange cat hurriedly took up his short legs and ran to Thor's side, acting extremely honest.

Thor looked back at Char, who had also become honest, took a deep breath, and let go of his hand.

He said in his heart: "Sure enough, my style of life is still too gentle? It's because he was promoted too quickly and didn't come into contact with other forces, so he hasn't been able to change his original mentality. ”

Seeing that Thor finally let go of his hand, Char quickly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not safe here, let's go to another place and start." ”

After saying that, Char's transformation into the moon suddenly lit up, and the white light wrapped the figures of Thor and Kate.

When the white light disappeared, the three of them came to a house.

Thor looked around and immediately remembered that this was the villa where Char had lived all along.

He still remembered that in the basement of the villa, there was still a spatial teleportation circle hidden.

"Oh my God, how did you do that?" Kate rubbed her cat's paws against the ground, and the meat pads came with real tactile feedback.

"If you can live here for more than a year, you can too."

In the face of the orange cat, Char couldn't help but use a mocking tone.

But as soon as he turned around and saw Thor, his momentum was gone.

The moon-like shell shroud slowly cracked, revealing the wizard within.

Char transforms back into a human form in this villa.

It's just that this appearance is not exactly the same as the original him.

Char in front of him was bare-chested, and his forehead, cheeks, neck, and arms were all drilled with tender green branches.

It was as if a seed had taken root in him and brutally pierced through his visceral skin to sprout.

He looked down at the branches on his body and sighed, "You're right, if no one helps me get out of this predicament, I'll be assimilated by the environment here and become Beth's puppet completely." ”

"Beth?" Thor wasn't surprised to hear the name.

"Yes, Beth. To understand the cause of the pollution in me, you have to know Beth, the inverted tree. ”

"Actually, the real controller of Baidong Academy is not the dean, but the Beth wizard who seems to be only a first-order. And she was actually the previous dean of Baidong Academy, that is, the former third-order wizard of Baidong Academy! ”

"Click!" The orange cat's jaw is dislocated.

Thor frowned, but didn't interrupt Char.

Then, Char retold what happened in Baidong College from his point of view.

Beth was once a powerful third-order wizard who led the Baidong Academy to defeat the army of the Kema Empire.

But she's also a loser.

When she was forced to leave the Borderlands with the Academy, she was actually a land grab, but she didn't grab Clark and was kicked out.

At the same time, because she was seriously injured in the battle with Clark, Beth barely relied on moving mountains to bury people, and after creating the Hangshou Valley tragedy to make Baidong College quickly gain a foothold, she died of her injuries.

However, Beth is a third-order wizard after all, and she is already ready for the resurrection.

She fed the Inverted Tree with her corpse and gradually cultivated it into a demonic creature large enough to cover a city.

Beth, on the other hand, used the branches and resin of the Inverted Tree to create a vessel for herself that would make her resemble a living person.

And foster your soul in the inverted space of the inverted tree, and use the soul and special energy absorbed by the inverted tree to maintain the daily wear and tear of the soul, and can ensure that the soul will not be easily polluted.

In this way, Beth completes the subject of resurrection in disguise.

But resurrection is a supernatural topic for third-order wizards after all.

Beth, who has a new body and is ready to regain her strength as soon as possible, quickly notices something is wrong.

The inverted tree, which is gradually becoming stronger, actually began to compete with Beth for "nutrition".

And the most embarrassing thing for Beth is that she can't really fight the inverted tree yet.

If she loses, she will be polluted by excessive weakness even if she does not disappear.

If she wins, the upside-down tree starves to death, and her soul, which is attached to it, naturally has no habitat.

After thinking about it for a day and a night, Beth finally decided: since the nutrition is not enough, then eat more.

That is, from that day on, Baidong College, which had not yet gained a firm foothold, began to expand its enrollment desperately.

As long as the students who come here have magical qualifications, they will accept them all, regardless of whether their qualifications are good or bad.

However, the number of wizard apprentices was not large after all, so the Baidong Academy began to change its strategy, mainly recruiting ordinary people to settle in the archaeological city.

Quantity to ensure quality.

The Inverted Tree, on the other hand, hides underground, enjoying the soul fragments that everyone on the ground has provided to it.

Despite the sharing of so many people, there are still people who die under the exploitation of the inverted tree day after day.

And because most of their souls have been absorbed a long time ago, they can only become ashes after death.

Not even a spirit.

And the archaeological city is getting bigger and bigger, and the residential buildings are getting higher and higher, even if there are dozens or hundreds of people killed or injured here, it is not inconspicuous.

But things didn't work out perfectly.

As the Inverted Tree grows stronger, so does the appetite.

And if Beth wants to maintain the stability of her spirit, she has to continue to feed the inverted tree, and then helplessly watch it continue to grow stronger.

Everything will fall into a vicious circle.

Before things get to the point where they get too hard to solve, Beth makes another decision.

She wants to abandon the locator that she chose to major in soil attributes, and instead turn the inverted tree into her new locator, so that the two will become one, and she will no longer have to worry about grabbing nutrients, and she can better control the inverted tree.

For this decision, Beth will sacrifice the entire city!
