Chapter 184 The temporary locator
ignored Kongsha who left the East Tower after eight o'clock. After hearing the conversation between Heywood and Kongsha, Saul was very curious about their relationship.
One of them is the enigmatic Level 3 in charge of the first warehouse, and the other is the most powerful Level 2.
But according to Heywood, both of them and Ivan are all abandoned sons.
Sol held the handrail of the cart tightly and looked at the elf standing firmly in the bottle whispering. He didn't know what Kongsha heard inside.
When we go back, the branches once again demonstrate their power to blur one's perception of time. When Sol put the bottle back on the shelf, he thought more than ten minutes had passed, but when he looked back at the hourglass clock on the wall, he realized that only three minutes had passed.
He retreated to the long table and silently counted time in his mind. When he thought a minute had passed, he looked up again, and only more than 30 seconds had passed.
"After putting the Elf Whisper back, I still have problems with my perception of time. However, this kind of cognitive confusion seems to be able to recover slowly, and meditation can greatly speed up the recovery." It took Thor about an hour to recover himself
. The cognition is completely adjusted back.
This made him look at the shelves with trepidation.
"I was just moving bottles and transporting carts, and my perception of time was blurred. I don't know what price Kong Sha completed for the listening ceremony. But she didn't seem to be affected much except for her depression. Is it because of the locator, or does she have another way to eliminate the influence?"
This time, although there was no danger, this subtle influence on consciousness was also very dangerous. If the influence of the Elf Whisper on consciousness increases, it may directly drive people crazy in an endlessly stretched timeline.
It's half past nine in the evening, not yet time to rest, not yet time to relax our vigilance.
Sol dug out the two locator plans that Kong Sha gave him, and after confirming with the diary that there were no major problems, he started to look through them.
After several days of research, he believed that whether it was an out-of-body experience or the dissolution of his own body, it was all related to abnormalities in the mental body.
The cause of this abnormality cannot be detected yet, but Sol found a solution in the study room on the 18th floor.
Although it is still just a conjecture. But unlike other wizards and apprentices, Thor can basically rely on imagination to test his conjectures, and there is no such big sunk cost.
Since he has already entered Level 2, Thor, in addition to learning basic knowledge, witchcraft, and writing, is also studying locators.
I wonder if the tower owner noticed something was wrong with Sol's body before taking him to the library on the 18th floor.
In short, Sol has read a lot of books that are helpful to his current situation.
There is also some knowledge and incomplete plans about the locator. Coupled with the two complete plans he just got from Kongsha, Sol can completely start research on the locator.
But unlike others, Thor's locator has actually been on him for a long time, and that is his biggest support at present, the Death Wizard's Diary.
Although the diary is powerful, it has a well-known shortcoming, that is, Thor cannot control the diary.
Except when communicating with the consciousness in the black pages of the diary, the diary will run out and float back according to his words. At other times, the diary will not respond to Thor's request.
The most important thing is that Saul has not yet found a way to connect his spiritual body with his diary.
He didn't even know where the diary existed in his body and soul.
Therefore, the locator experiment did not go as smoothly as Sol initially thought.
"This matter cannot be rushed. If a second-level apprentice wants to be promoted to the third level, in addition to having to meet the physical and soul quality standards, he also needs to select and integrate a positioning device. A powerful second-level apprentice like Kong Sha also seems to be integrating positioning. The ritual has been stuck for many years."
"But at the end of May, I will leave the tower to go on Lord Gorsa's mission. If my soul suddenly leaves the body at that time, it will be too dangerous."
Although Thor can now He can return to his body in just six steps, but if he fights with the enemy, the opponent will not give him half a second to recover.
For this reason, Thor temporarily thought of a plan for himself to temporarily stabilize the spirit body.
That's the temporary locator.
Temporary locators are also rare among advanced apprentices and are valuable.
It is equivalent to a supplement to the wizard's own locator. With the temporary locator, there is a double guarantee for the wizard's spiritual body and consciousness. It's like wearing a riot shield on top of a riot suit.
Although the protection strength and scope are limited, it can still play a certain protective role.
When the mental body is shocked or contaminated, it can further help the owner recover.
Having made up his mind, Thor took out the doll that he rented but didn't pay for in Mentor Kaz's laboratory.
After thinking for a while, he placed another red candle on the table.
He looked left and right, the countless basic knowledge and formulas he had seen in the past two days swirling in his mind, and then Thor buried himself in writing various runes on the paper.
As he wrote and calculated, more and more materials were brought to the table by Thor.
The yellowed paper is filled up day by day, and more and more complex witchcraft formations and witchcraft props production formulas appear on it.
As the formula deduction began to take shape, Thor began to imagine the scenario in his mind when he used the temporary locator he designed.
Then the diary would come out again and again to pour cold water on Sol... or pour lava.
More and more papers filled with text were piled on the corner of the table. After gradually stacking up into a hill, they suddenly collapsed to the ground.
And Saul is still looking for the optimal solution for the temporary locator.
...
A few days later, it was a small town away from the Wizard Tower.
Dark clouds gathered over the small town of Samp, strong winds howled from time to time, and heavy rain seemed to be coming at any time.
Thor was sitting in an ordinary one-passenger carriage without the wizard tower mark.
He was wearing an ordinary coarse cloth shirt and a leather breastplate on his upper body. The arm that attracts the most attention is wearing a pair of leather gloves.
He now looks less like a wizard's apprentice and more like a mercenary.
It's just a little small.
This mission is very special. Firstly, it was personally ordered by the tower master Golsa, who reminded Thor twice that it might be dangerous. Secondly, Thor also has his own special purpose.
After entering the town, the carriage slowed down.
Sol tilted his head and observed the scene outside through the car curtains that were constantly blown up by the strong wind.
I don’t know if it’s because of the approaching heavy rain, but the streets of the town look extremely deserted.
At this time, the coachman who was driving outside suddenly turned around and said loudly: "Master, the road ahead is blocked."
This coachman was the same coachman who took Thor to Black Bollinger last time.
When Thor met the Wizard Tower directly from Drooping Hand Valley, the coachman who got the news also rushed back a few days later.
This time, upon hearing that it was Sol who wanted to use the car, he immediately volunteered. And when leaving the wasteland around the wizard's tower, he carefully addressed Thor as "young master".
He expressed his gratitude to Thor carefully and implicitly.
Sol pushed open the car door, and a strong gust of wind blew in, forcing him to squint his eyes.
A path ahead was filled with wooden fences and sandbags. There was also a sign trembling in the wind hanging on the fence, which read "Keep out of danger!" in common language.
"Is there any other road here to our destination?" Sol opened his mouth, and his voice reached the coachman's ears clearly.
Just as the driver was about to answer, the hat on his head was blown away by a strong wind that changed direction and rotated, revealing a small mushroom as big as a thumb on top of his head.
The little mushroom was ravaged by the strong wind, and its body trembled violently, as if it would be blown away in the next second.
Sol raised his hand, grabbed the coachman's hat, and put it back on the coachman's head.
"Thank you, Master!" The coachman, who had no communication skills, could only raise his voice in the strong wind. "There is no other way. The manor we want to go to is at the end of this road, the southernmost part of this town."
