When Beth prepares to sacrifice the entire city of Archaeology, she decides to flee the West with her henchmen.

Since she didn't stay here anymore, she naturally didn't care what impact this sacrifice would have on the entire western part of the continent.

However, just after she deceived more and more people, a small accident, a small negligence, caused the stagnation of the whole sacrifice.

This little accident is naturally Char's wizard who has been captured by Beth a long time ago, and his spirit body has been manipulated by the inverted tree.

After listening to Char's words, Thor looked up and down at the spirit in front of him, "You...... How? ”

Char: "This is my secret weapon, and I can't tell you. ”

Thor didn't embarrass him either, "Well, my purpose isn't you anyway. But you have to tell me, what is the reason for your current state? ”

Char became irritable, and seemed to be uncomfortable introducing his hidden dangers to others.

However, thinking of his situation, he quickly said the answer.

"After my soul was sucked in by the inverted tree, I barely managed to maintain an independent consciousness, but many actions had to be commanded by Beth. I've always been careful not to be exposed, and only occasionally do something of my own to keep myself alive. ”

"When I realized that the whole inverted tree was actually absorbing the souls of the people who lived in the city, I knew I had to find a way to get out of here. As long as I'm stuck here, I'll one day be like those absorbed souls, and I'll become the nourishment of Beth and the Inverted Tree. ”

"So I was prepared a few months later, when Beth ran to the center of the inverted tree again, I deliberately took a key node in her circle, and ran away as soon as she was trapped by the circle."

"You're so daring!" Kate stretched out her cat's paw to Char, "Even though Beth is already a spirit, she was once a powerful third-order wizard. If you destroy the circle casually, you will really trap her! ”

Thor watched Char purse his lips and ignored it, knowing that there was a secret in it.

"And after that?" Saul asked.

Char skipped the most critical juncture, "After that, in order to prevent me from escaping, Beth actually launched her sacrifice in advance, directly pulling the entire inner city into to help her stabilize her spiritual body." ”

"So now the whole inner city is in ashes?" Thor clasped his hands to his chest, "The soul was withdrawn, and the body was turned to ashes. ”

"Almost," Char said, "because she was not ready, she absorbed a large number of spirits, so she is now trapped and cannot come out to arrest me, but if she can control herself, she will definitely come and tear me to pieces." ”

Char's expression was solemn, clearly afraid of Beth's threat.

"Then why can't you leave the Inverted Tree now? Since you've made so many preparations, you must know how to leave, right? ”

"Of course I do, but I won't tell you until you help me get out of my lockdown."

"Didn't you say it, I'll help you heal, you help me find the seeds. The confinement in your body is also a disease for you, and I will naturally help you treat it. ”

Seeing Char's heartfelt and vigilant appearance, Sol added a fire, "However, anyway, you have to help me get the seeds of the upside-down tree, why don't you set the target a little bigger when you act?" ”

Char immediately began to doubt Thor's purpose, "What are you going to do?" Don't try to deceive me, here I can kick you all out at any time! ”

Thor chuckled, not caring about Char's threat at all, and continued to bewitch, "Anyway, you only have a spirit body left, which is equivalent to death, even if you escape from the inverted tree, it will only be a lingering breath." It's better to go to Beth and snatch her upside-down tree while she's trapped...... What do you think? ”

"Click!" Kate heard her cat's jaw drop on the ground again.

Kate turned her head to look at Saul in a daze.

Just now, he thought that Char, who dared to calculate a third-order wizard, was a fool, but now Thor was a madman in his eyes.

"You're crazy!" Char directly said Kate's heart, "You want to get a way to escape, and then trick me into sending me to death!" ”

"I can wait until you get back the seeds of the Inverted Tree before leaving."

Char still didn't believe it, "Then you're just trying to do something bad while I'm stealing the seeds of the Inverted Tree." ”

Thor's heart jumped, and he thought, "This guy guessed quite accurately. ”

But his face didn't change, "Then let me ask you, will you take me to the core of the inverted tree?" ”

Char was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head, "Impossible!" ”

Thor spread his hands, "And what do you think I'm going to do badly?" ”

Without waiting for Char to think, Thor continued to increase, "I can help you treat now, can't you kick us out at any time?" When I'm done with the treatment, how about you go and get the seeds for me? ”

Char still hesitated, "Would you be so kind to help me treat first?" ”

"The spirit is your own, can't you tell the difference between good and bad?"

Char was still hesitating.

Saul frowned, is Char, who is not decisive and afraid of danger, really the right person?

Suddenly, the whole house shook, and the charms on the table and overhead shattered.

A few thick branches peeked out of the wall and snaked upward, quickly enveloping the walls around the room.

"Meow! What is it? How did the roots get here? Kate immediately ran to the very center of the room.

Char's face flashed with panic, but he did not rest on his laurels or resist, but turned into a ball of light again, and the white light engulfed the figures of Thor and Kate again.

When the light cleared, Thor found them in another place.

He hadn't been here before, thinking it was another secret base for Char.

"You're really running out of time." Thor was still a little grateful to the tree roots that had just appeared, "Are you willing to make this deal?" Don't waste other people's time. ”

Char knew that Thor was right.

After all, he is Beth's puppet, and even if he gets out of the other party's control for a short time, he will have to be controlled by him again after Beth's state recovers.

Under the mixture of nervousness and fear, Thor's proposal to be regarded as a beast of prey gradually turned into a fatal temptation.

"If, if you can snatch the upside-down tree......" Char seemed to be frightened or perhaps excited, and his whole body trembled.

"If I could become the owner of the upside-down tree, I wouldn't have to run away."

Thor nodded with relief, "Not only do you not have to run away, but you also have the hope of resurrection." ”

Char looked up at Thor sharply.

"You're a very gifted wizard, can't you do what Beth can do?"

Char's breathing immediately became heavy, even though he didn't have to breathe anymore.

"Good!"

Eventually, Char agrees to Saul's devilish proposal.

"You can help me heal now, I'm afraid those roots will be found soon. It's a sign that Beth is gradually recovering, and we are running out of time. ”
