The Whitebearded Wizard collapsed under the dilapidated building, his back leaning against the ruins, barely able to stay awake.

At this time he also had a very deep, very terrible wound on his chin. It is like a fish's mouth that grows on its chin.

The skin cracked open and then drooped, revealing the white flesh that seemed to rot inside the wound.

It was dark, but this time it wasn't because of the black figures.

"I didn't think I, Wilde, would be in such a situation." Whitebeard, or rather Wilde, carefully touched the wound on his chin.

"It's hard to raise it, but when I get out, I'm afraid I'll have to hide for a while. The wound left by that half-elf is really troublesome. ”

This Wilde was the former president and captain of the Land Boating Guild.

Originally, it was planned to take the powerful Gorsala off the horse, and then divide the inheritance of the Wizard Tower among the three families. This would allow Wilde to try to advance to the third rank with the help of Gorsa's corpse and inheritance.

But his plan failed.

There is no possibility of success at all.

Because in the beginning, the information he got was inaccurate.

This led him to directly underestimate Gorsa's heritage.

It also turned this captain, who had a good life, into a wanted criminal in the Principality of Kema.

Had it not been for Gorsa's sudden promotion and departure from the Western Continent, Wilde's life would have been even more difficult.

Of course, he's not having a good time right now.

The wounds left by being chased by the half-elves have not healed. The combat power of the half-elf is not at the top, and what is really terrifying is the pollution that comes with him.

The wound of the other party will grow on its own, and if it is not suppressed well, the wound will continue to deteriorate until Wilde is turned into a pile of rotten meat.

But after a long time of injury, Wilde also found a way to convert the contamination in the wound into his attack power.

It's just that this method hurts others and hurts himself, and after each cast, he needs to re-suppress the wound.

Now that Wilde has not been able to leave the city full of strange black shadows, he naturally does not dare to heal his wounds immediately.

He had been leaning against the ruins for a while, and had not been attacked again.

Although he was glad, he also felt strange, "Could it be that those dark shadows thought they couldn't kill me, so they retreated?" Otherwise, why didn't it show up for so long? Can I find a chance to leave? ”

Speaking of leaving, Wilde was a little hesitant.

He hadn't found a way for Dean Bai Dong to open the door in his body here, and at the same time, he didn't know if that method was here, so he wanted to go, but he didn't want to.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind Wilde.

"You're special."

It's a woman's voice.

The voice is somewhat hoarse, with no ups and downs.

Like a puppet.

Wilde's face turned pale, and he turned back suddenly, and saw a branch the thickness of a small arm poking out of a crack in the wall at some point, and two brown leaves emerging from the tip.

Two leaves open and close.

The woman's voice came from within.

As Wilde was in doubt, the woman spoke again.

"If you're looking for a way to advance to the third order, I've got it here."

Wilde's eyes were hot.

Even though he knew that there might be a trap or an illusion ahead, he couldn't help but be excited when the clues he had been searching for for years appeared.

Of course, he was still wary on the surface.

"Who are you?"

"Beth."

Wilde was a little confused, but soon, he remembered a name that had long been buried in the ground, "Bethana? Are you Bethstana from the Borderlands? ”

Wilde used to run business in the Borderlands.

Anyone familiar with its history will come up with the name Bestana by combining the Byton Academy, the Borderlands, and powerful wizards.

A ruthless man who lost the battle for power in the Borderlands and broke out of the Valley of the Hanging Hand with most of his followers.

A ruthless and powerful third-order wizard.

The reason for her loss is probably that she faced Clark, who has a background in the Stargate Council.

Otherwise, it is not certain who will lose and who will win!

And even if she loses, she retains her power base and a powerful demonic creature with the same growth.

Thinking of this, Wilde finally realized that the wall of tree roots, the large stump, and this strange night world he had seen before, as well as the branches in front of him, were probably the demonic creatures cultivated by Bethana.

"It turns out that Baidong Academy has always had third-order wizards in charge." Wilde was a little flustered in his heart, "The rumors from the outside world do not match, what dean lost control and alienated because he pushed the door, I am afraid it is also a bait to attract us wild second-order wizards to come." ”

If he knew that there were still third-order wizards inside Baidong Academy, he would definitely not break into Baidong Academy again.

However, Wilde did not despair at this time, after all, Bethtana in front of him was still communicating with him.

If there is communication, it means that there is demand.

In other words, he still has a value to use.

Thinking of this, the temperament of the former president of the Chamber of Commerce returned to Wilde.

"Master Wizard Bestana, please forgive me for inadvertently invading your territory."

"No nonsense."

The leaves on the opposite side didn't want to listen to Wilde at all.

"The spiritual power in your body is very special, and you can enter the space in the heart of the tree. I want you to come in and grab a spirit, and if you can do it, I will tell you how to promote to the third order, and I can also provide you with the spiritual power you need to be promoted. ”

"But if you can't do it, you can't satisfy me. Then you will become my nourishment. ”

This time, the voice still did not rise and fall, but it brought a chill that made Wilde's whole body tremble.

"Listen to your orders, I don't know what I need to do?" Wilde endured the pain in his jaw and smiled hard.

There is no way, the strength is low, and there is no chance of even conditions.

"Die first."

A cold voice sounded, and the branches that had just looked like they were communicating calmly suddenly moved.

Wilde didn't have time to react before the branch pierced his skull.

Then, the branches stained with red and white juice slowly pulled out, and the brown leaves were still speaking in that calm tone.

"You are not completely dead now, if you complete my explanation, I will send you back and help you get promoted. If you can't finish it, you don't have to come back. ”

The branches slowly retracted into the cracks in the walls.

"Now, let's go to the Tree Center."

……

Thor's tentacles pulled out of the gap in the middle of Char's brow bone.

Kate, the orange cat on the side, twitched the corners of her eyes and beard together.

"Damn, if someone were to stick their tentacles into my skull to heal me, I'd rather die." Kate muttered to herself.

In contrast to Kate's shock, neither the healer nor the treated person was uncomfortable with this type of treatment.

Even Char curiously stuck his finger into the round hole in the center of his eyebrows.

"It's amazing! Turns out you're really a doctor! Char had a peaceful smile on his face, completely different from his previous nervous and extremely nervous face, "How did you do it?" Not only did you suppress Beth's control over me, but you ......"

Halfway through the sentence, Char seemed to realize something and shut her mouth again.

Thor lowered his eyes, "I knew you had other anomalies besides Beth's control. I'm afraid it's because of this anomaly that you can temporarily get rid of the inverted tree's control over you. Is that your biggest secret? ”

Seeing that Sol tacitly did not mention another pollution in his body, Char breathed a sigh of relief, and gradually developed a good impression of Sol.

This is actually the effect of another pollution in his body after being suppressed.

The perceptive Thor naturally noticed Char's changes, "By the way, this thing is lent to you, and you should be able to use it when you go to the heart of the tree space to steal tree seeds." ”

He stepped forward, blocked Kate's view with his body, and handed a small object to Char.

At the same time, he also blocked Char's face, so that Kate, who was behind him, could not see the round hole in Char's eyebrows...... An eye with a colored pupil suddenly popped out.
