Chapter 43: The Five-Pointed Star
Bestana muttered, "Do I have a second path?" ”
Something was wrong with Bethana, her voice muffled, as if she were huddled in some box.
Her emotions are unusually negative, and it is clear that the sacrifices of the outside world are still causing tragedy, but she seems to believe that she cannot be resurrected.
But this is completely inconsistent with the fact that she had just decisively launched a city-wide sacrifice.
Just now, when she was about to drag Sol and Char to die together, there was still a final decision, and when she heard Sol say that there was a second way, it was as if all the strength of her body was exhausted.
"Anyway, you don't have any other way but to believe me, do you?"
Bestana's eyes rolled reluctantly, "Trust you, I'll just become your experiment." ”
"Of course, there is a price to be paid for the transaction, but it is not the experiment you imagined. You can live sane, but your freedom is limited, but I can promise you that after you've been with me for a hundred years, I'll set you free. ”
Bestana was still hesitating, and Thor had already used his mental power to quietly probe the other party's situation.
He had to be careful about what methods Bestana was using in secret, and at the same time, the other party's hesitant and fragile state really didn't look like a third-order wizard.
At this moment, as his spiritual power swept through the shadow behind Bethtana that was tightly wrapped in roots, his spiritual power suddenly felt a burst of scorching heat, as if it had been burned by something.
"What's that?" Thor was curious.
Who knew that Bestana actually answered him directly, "It's a wishing candle." ”
"Wishing candles?" Thor hadn't heard of it, but why did Bestana really answer him?
Could it be that this guy is already crazy.
Bethtana was reminded by Thor of the wishing candle she had just gotten from Char.
"This thing doesn't work for me." She handed a white candle to Thor with a twig, "And I'll have to pay for it." ”
Thor's mental power swept over the ordinary-looking candle before taking it.
At this moment, the candle suddenly lit up with a "whoosh".
At the same time, Thor's heart moved, and he opened his left hand, and a dark red thick leather book appeared in the palm of his hand.
[May 15, 320 in the New Moon calendar, sunny
Wishing candles,
Cursed Things.
Every time the candle flame is lit,
You can all make a wish.
It will summon an item from the void that will help you fulfill your wishes.
But it's not responsible for making sure your wishes come true.
But as a person who made a wish to blow out the candle,
One of your negative emotions will be amplified.
The more difficult it is to fulfill the wish,
The stronger your negative emotions.
Until your soul is completely twisted,
Finally, it becomes the center of the candle. 】
Thor looked at Char, who was still unconscious next to him, and Bestana, who had lost her fighting spirit in front of him, and finally understood how the abnormalities in the personalities of these two people were caused.
Bestana's amplified emotions should be despair.
As for Char......
Presumably paranoia of victimization?
Bethtana has been staring at the diary since the Wizard of Death appeared in Thor's palm.
Thor closed the journal and pressed the corner of the hardcover book against the last remaining face of Bethana.
"You don't have time, if you agree to a deal, then relax and don't resist, if you don't agree, we'll beat you to the death."
After saying that, Thor didn't wait for Beth to think about it, and immediately used the Death Wizard's Diary to absorb Bestana's soul.
After all, Bethtana was once a third-order wizard, and she was not currently in a state of complete death, so if she resisted, the diary might not be able to absorb her spirits.
However, the diary was only slightly blocked, and soon absorbed Bestana's soul into Thor's fifth black page.
Losing Bethstana's roots turned the last of her body into roots.
At the same time, the inverted tree without the controller began to grow wildly, almost in a matter of seconds, it swept Thor and Char around him into it.
This space in the heart of the tree is also vibrating unsteadily.
The inverted tree, which was not controlled by Bethana, began to grow at will.
If it can no longer be controlled, it may evolve into a terrifying third-order monster that devours people's souls everywhere.
"Wake up, it's your turn next!" Thor picked up the unconscious Char, spun around twice in the air, and threw it into the center where Bethtana had just been.
Char suddenly opened his eyes a moment before he was thrown into the heart of the tree, and it seemed that he had just been pretending to be unconscious, but Thor didn't even ask, and was about to throw him into the upside-down tree.
Poor Char didn't say a word, and was sucked into the inverted tree, which suddenly lost its core.
However, he did need the upside-down tree, and despite the resentment in his heart, he honestly stabilized the tree.
Char opened his eyes, "I ......"
He had just said a word when he was stunned to see Thor swing his fist to beat him.
"You do ......"
Failing to say the finished words again, Char was once again drawn to the red pillar of light on Thor's fist.
Char's vision immediately turned red, and even his consciousness fell into a temporary stagnation.
This stagnation did not last long, it seemed to be just a blink of an eye, and the blinding red light disappeared.
When Char saw everything in front of him again, Thor was already standing across from him for a long time, holding a dark red hardcover book in his hand, with elegant movements and a calm temperament.
It was as if he hadn't been the one who had just swung his fist and smashed people.
"What the hell did you just do? Did you plant some explosives in my body? Or curse me? ”
Thor was not surprised by Char's series of questions.
But he didn't pay attention to the other party immediately, and didn't look up until he was sure that Klee's auxiliary circle had completed the integration with Char, "This is my transformation attempt, and it is also a way to ensure that you will not follow the old path of Bethtana in the future." ”
Char was still in the core of the inverted tree, not even a body of his own.
Although he was bewitched by Thor to rob Bethstana's inverted tree and be the basis of his own resurrection.
But in fact, he doesn't have a very clear plan for how he will be resurrected.
None of the powerful third-order wizards like Bethtana were able to resurrect with the Inverted Tree.
Can he, a first-order wizard who considers himself a genius, really be able to do something that none of the third-order wizards could do?
For now, I can only trust Thor first.
Thor knew that Char still didn't trust him, if it weren't for the fact that the other party had been parasitized by the star's eyes, at this time, Sky Run would have run to the other position of the inverted tree to avoid Thor.
Thor took out the wishing candle, which had not yet been extinguished, as if to lure Thor to make a wish.
But instead of making a wish, Thor returned it to Char.
Char looked at Sol in disbelief, he thought that no one could resist the temptation of the wishing candle, but Sol didn't make a wish, so he gave him the candle.
"Can you move now? No, I can also take care of this candle for you first. ”
Char hurriedly tried with all his might, and finally manipulated the two slender and soft roots to retrieve the candle from Thor.
But even when he got the candle, he felt unreal.
"The wishing candle that everyone is rushing to, why don't you?"
"Is it really a good thing to be cursed to lose a part of your sanity if you make a wish? As a wizard, it's important to be able to control your brain and your sanity. ”
Thor did not plan to use the Wishing Candle after reading the diary's introduction to the Wishing Candle.
There is no goldfinger more important than a wizard's brain.
But Thor was interested in something else.
"Give the candle back to you, and in return, you give me that crystal bottle."
Char was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how Sol knew about the crystal bottle, obviously Sol was not in the space at all at that time.
"I can give it to you, but I don't know exactly what that bottle of water does, you need to study it yourself."
Char struggled to use a twig to deliver the previous crystal bottle to Thor.
Thor watched Char move with difficulty.
"It's going to take a long time for you to get used to it...... But I can't keep watching you in the heart of the tree. ”
Getting back the most important wishing candle, Char calmed down a lot, and he was finally able to say rationally, "What do you need me to do?" ”
"Stop the sacrifices to the outside world, return all the branches to the cage, and make a bigger move."
Char didn't know what Sol was going to do, but now that he was on the same boat with Sol, he could only say, "I'll do my best." ”
