Chapter 115: The Wizard’s Burial Place
Nick arrived at the Black Castle that night.
As soon as he entered the Black Castle, before he could say hello to Mochi Mochi, he was pulled into the small dark room by Byron and Thor.
"Nick, is there a written mission statement for the mission you asked Thor to go to Mofan Town to investigate?" Byron got straight to the point as soon as he came up.
Upon hearing this, Nick immediately lowered his eyes, raised his hands, and made a clear gesture of surrender.
"No." He said solemnly, "I admit that the secret investigation mission was actually issued to Saul by myself." "
Purpose?" Saul took a step forward.
Nick pursed his lips and said, "Recently, it has become more and more difficult to apply for the Grinding Fruit in the tower. I asked further, and the reason was that the amount of tribute itself was decreasing. I originally took advantage of this time to leave the tower and go to Tutor Rum. I received a mission to go to Mofan Town and see if I could get some Mosheng Fruit privately. But I didn’t expect something happened on the way and I had to leave, so I asked Sol to find out the reason for the reduction in Mosheng Fruit production." He looked up
. Xiang Saul, "It was a last-minute decision, sorry. But I will pay you extra. I wonder if Saul you have found the reason?"
Saul and Byron looked at each other, picked up some truth and said: "Mofan The wizard in the town is refining the Wraith Spirit, trying to advance, and part of the reduced production of Sound Fruit should be used by him to maintain his sanity." "
Part of it?" Nick immediately noticed Thor's wording.
"The people in the town even trade the savage fruit with the barbarians in exchange for the peace of the town."
Nick's expressionless face revealed a trace of doubt, "Barbarians? Why do the barbarians want the savage fruit?"
"Barbarians Will you use the sound fruit to maintain your sanity?" Sol asked in return.
"No," Nick shook his head, "Barbarians are keen on madness. Even barbarian priests will use their own methods to stay awake."
So why do barbarians need grinding fruit? Or are the barbarians just a facade?
Seeing Sol frowning and thinking, Nick lowered his eyes again and said nothing.
Byron suddenly asked from the side: "What made you leave halfway?"
Nick glanced at Byron and did not hide it, "My father died, and the family asked me to go back and sign the document giving up the inheritance rights."
This reason It was too sufficient and easy to verify. Saul couldn't tell whether Nick left on purpose.
The room was a little quiet for a while.
Nick looked at the two silent people, spread his hands and said, "I'm not sad, don't worry."
Byron suddenly stood up, "In this case, you must transfer your due reward to Thor after returning to the tower."
Nick immediately Said: "There is no problem with this, but there is a reward that the first-level apprentice cannot receive. I can exchange it for him..." "
No need, Senior Nick." Thor raised his hand, "When I was fighting with the barbarians in Mofan Town, , I had no choice but to be promoted to Level 2."
Nick opened his mouth, but everything he wanted to say was stuck in his throat.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly put a hand on his chest, "I'm not surprised."
After a pause, he pressed the hand on his chest a little harder, "I'm not jealous."
"Then it's settled!" Byron said with finality, "Today Get ready for the night, we will leave for Hanging Hand Valley tomorrow."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the door. He came back halfway and invited Sol and Nick out of the room.
That night, Saul was lying on a slender bed that was almost impossible to turn over in a room as long and slender as a coffin, thinking about Nick's words today.
Listening to Nick's explanation, this mission may indeed be his impromptu idea.
After all, the reason why he had to leave halfway was quite good.
However, when Saul mentioned that the fields in Mofan Town were destroyed by barbarians, Nick did not show due concern.
This performance is not consistent with Nick's concern for Moshengguo.
Even though Nick is an extremely reserved person, the importance he attaches to the Mo Sheng Guo has changed greatly.
Is Nick trying to convey some message to Thor through the Mosonguo incident?
He closed his eyes, and faces flashed through his mind...
The next morning, the three of them got up early and said goodbye to the guards of the Black Castle.
They did not take the narrow wizard's tower carriage, but took Black Castle's local means of transportation-the wooden spider.
When Thor saw the wooden spider, he thought he saw a huge RV with eight legs.
Because the place they were going to this time was the Chuishou Valley, a place where many wars between wizards had occurred. It's a place that ordinary people can't even get close to, so wizards don't bring their servants with them when they go there.
Large witchcraft props like wooden spiders are their most commonly used means of transportation.
Just be careful when driving. If you damage it, it will be very painful to pay for it.
Thor unloaded his complete set of soul research tools from the carriage.
Nick brought a lot of rope from the induction chair and some metal rings.
Byron brought some strange parts and a few special bottles. Those bottles are special soul bottles used to store evil spirits.
For the physical body, the soul bottle is very fragile, but for the spirit body, it is extremely strong.
Ordinary evil spirits and resentful spirits are difficult to escape if they are caught in it.
In this mission, Sol and Nick are both here to help Byron catch the evil spirit.
By the way, I'll take the opportunity to do some research of my own.
The three people seemed to have forgotten the little friction last night, and looked like they were working together as a team.
Hanging Hand Valley, the former battlefield of wizards and the burial place of wizards.
The reason why the war was launched is unknown. What is known is that so many wizards died in that war that the wizarding forces in the western region of the Northern Continent were almost wiped out.
There was a time when even a second-level wizard could not be found in the western region.
But this situation did not last long, because many forces in the eastern region of the Northern Continent and the Southern Continent were eyeing this vacuum zone.
After some open and covert fighting, a new wizard force settled in the western region.
Among them is Gortha's Wizard Tower.
Therefore, the wizards in the Wizard Tower have a strong say in the wizarding world in the entire western region.
As long as they don't seek death, the three of them, who can almost walk sideways, sit in wooden spiders and inch closer to the entrance of Hanging Hand Valley.
"The Droopy Hand Valley is also the entrance to the barren mountains in the western region. Since the war in the Droopy Hand Valley, the passage from the western region into the Borderlands has been blocked." Byron sat in the car and pointed to Thor where he was heading. destination.
"Borderless land?" Thor had heard of this term in the Cognition of All Things class, but only had a sporadic introduction.
"Well, that's a place where even formal wizards have to be extremely careful when going there. I've only heard people mention it occasionally." Nick said at the side.
"It's okay not to go there." Byron ended the discussion about the Borderlands.
The wooden spider finally arrived at Chuishou Valley and began to climb downward.
Thor could no longer imagine what the Drop Hand Valley looked like, but the entrance here was like an extremely steep large slide.
Pieces of gravel were like waterfalls, falling steeply from the plain where Sol and the others were.
The angle of descent is almost seventy degrees, just like the angle of a person falling against a wall, with his arms hanging down weakly.
An ordinary carriage cannot travel on such a road, but a wooden spider with eight legs can climb up and down like a real spider.
Moreover, the wooden spider's carriage will automatically adjust its angle to ensure that the bottom of the carriage is always parallel to the horizontal plane, preventing people in the carriage from rolling around.
As the wood spider crawled downwards, Thor saw a valley sandwiched between two high mountains.
A gust of wind blew over, and the wind was filled with the smell of blood that had not subsided for many years.
The temperature in the carriage also dropped as the altitude dropped, and Sol unconsciously grabbed his sleeves.
"Don't be nervous," Nick comforted Thor, "The depths of the Handle Valley are where the wizard war will take place. We only catch the evil spirits on the outermost periphery, and we won't encounter too much danger." Byron was also looking out the window
. Find a suitable camping spot.
Hearing Nick's words, he nodded and said "hmm" in agreement.
Sol secretly glanced at the diary.
As soon as he entered this valley, Thor always felt a numbness all over his body.
There seemed to be countless people staring at him.
"It should be..." Saul pulled off his collar to let himself breathe easier, "Is it an illusion?"
