Chapter 197 The Butler's Request
"The secret of the Death Wizard's Diary is definitely hidden here!"
For a moment, Thor forgot about the pain, and a smile appeared on his face.
He almost missed the secret here.
If Saul can learn more about the diary, he can quickly turn the diary into his locator.
Maybe we can unlock more secrets of the diary and deduce more ways to use it.
At this time, there was a strange sense of oppression behind him again. Saul did not look back, but just stared at the diary.
He stepped forward and began to release magic power according to the lines depicted on the black pages of the diary.
When several nodes on the formation were connected together, the door on the ground suddenly opened a small crack.
A flash of joy flashed across Sol's face, and he quickly squatted down and lifted the entire door.
He quickly got into the ground, and the algae stretched out from the back of his neck, helping Thor close the door behind him.
As soon as Sol jumped down, he stepped on a soft step.
Looking down, I saw that the steps were actually the girl's arms.
Anyway, he had never seen a man's arms so slender and white, with small joints.
"The person who uses this as a ladder must be a pervert, right?"
Sol has always been practical. If it is not for research needs, he will not make these scary things.
Of course, if others do this, Thor will not meddle in their own business.
What's more, the person who made this ladder is probably dead or rotten.
He jumped down the steps and looked around the basement.
It can be confirmed that this basement is definitely the laboratory of Ralph Manor.
It's just that this laboratory... is a bit shabby compared to Sol's laboratory.
It’s not that there is less stuff.
There are all kinds of books and materials around here.
But if you look closely, these materials are either very cheap or very common. The books placed here are mainly ordinary books, notes, and handwritten books.
In terms of variety and depth, it is not even comparable to the library that Saul has come into contact with. Not to mention the tower owner’s private collection.
But the place is still full of people, and it is the last stand of the lonely wizard family.
It's safe for now.
Thor breathed a sigh of relief, took out the potion and began to treat his ears.
The wound is not serious and can be solved with a little magic and potion.
In this dangerous place, it is still very dangerous to be unable to hear the sound. If I face Victor again... If it doesn't work, I will become deaf again.
He had just swallowed a bottle of potion when he suddenly caught sight of a figure from the corner of his eye.
Thor immediately picked up the scroll that was in his pocket, but did not take action immediately.
"Master Wizard." A man came out from behind the bookshelf.
Thor immediately recognized the other person, "Are you...Knight Olaf?"
The tall knight, wearing metal armor, walked silently.
The other party is no longer alive.
Through his body, you can vaguely see the bookshelf behind him.
After Olaf appeared, he stroked his chest and performed a knightly salute to Thor.
"Do you still recognize me? Do you remember what happened at the entrance of the castle just now?" "
Yes, sir."
Thor looked at me, "You are just an ordinary person, and your mental strength does not reach the minimum level of a wizard, but you can Stabilize the spirit body after death. Did someone help you?"
The knight saluted again, "Yes, sir. It was an old man here in the manor who helped me. He also knew that I entered this place to take refuge." "Then you
are that old man when you come out. Want to find me?"
Olaf said: "Yes, respected wizard, but the fact that he didn't come to greet you in person is not because of arrogance, but because he really can't move. His name is Hunter, and he is the former steward of this manor. Please come over in the hope that you can Let me make a deal with you. If you are interested, please come with me."
When Sol did not come out when he tried to open the basement door, Sol made a deal as soon as he entered.
It's about choosing the right time.
Thor looked around and found no hidden magic fluctuations here, so he decided to go see the other party.
Seeing Thor nodding, the knight led the way and led Thor deep into the basement.
Here we walked to the very back of the laboratory, and another cubicle appeared.
It's just that the door of this compartment was violently broken, and he was lying on the ground in a miserable state.
When Saul passed by, he found that the door had been broken from the inside out.
He took in the traces around him and followed Olaf into the small cubicle.
The compartment is not big, it looks less than ten square meters. There are no sealed books here, only notes stacked half as high as a person, and papers scattered on the floor.
As soon as Sol entered, he stepped on several pieces of paper.
Some papers are filled with words, others are just unconscious lines.
He looked around and saw... an old man's head on the open wall cabinet.
The old man had gray hair, thin cheeks, and black bags under his eyes. He looked old and tired.
"I'm sorry, Lord Wizard, I can only see you in this form."
"No need to say polite words, who are you? What deal do you want to do with me?"
Thor didn't want to talk nonsense with a human head. If there are no clues here, He also needs to seize the time to find the information in the diary.
The old man pursed his lips, and when he spoke again, he spoke much faster.
"I am Hunter, the manager of this manor, and my master is Lord Ralph, an official first-level wizard. I would like to use the greatest wealth of this manor in exchange for your help to relieve my master." "Relief?"
Thor Frowning, he suddenly realized something, "That human-faced worm outside...is that Ralph?"
Butler Hunter's face showed obvious sadness, "Yes."
"My master once offended a very powerful person. The big shot was seriously injured. We return to the manor to recuperate secretly. If everything goes well, it will take about five years for the master to recover." "Who did you offend?"
A figure appeared in Thor's mind and asked immediately.
"...It's the Master of the Wizard Tower."
Thor's eyes widened, but he sighed in his heart that it was indeed the case.
So the tower master had silently helped him once?
"You don't have to worry about offending that gentleman. My master has no way out now. We originally wanted to leave here as soon as Sir Ralph regains his mobility..." Hunter sighed, "But everything didn't go well. ."
"When we first returned to the manor, in order to prevent anyone from disturbing us, we deliberately opened part of the defensive restrictions. To ordinary people, it was haunted. It was peaceful in the first year, but in the second year, which was ten months, Before, a wizard suddenly broke into the manor. He caught me and said he wanted to give the master a gift." "
That man...is his name Victor?"
The butler wanted to nod, but in the end he just blinked. , "Yes. But my lord, I can only tell you that this is not his real name. And I have been banned from witchcraft and cannot reveal his real name." "After Victor found the master, he told him directly
that With the master's current method, even if he can recover in a few years, he will lose his powerful power and can only wait for death. But he can help the master recover faster and become more powerful." "
Ralph agreed?"
"No, my master was seriously injured, but he was still in good spirits. He knew there were hidden dangers in this condition as soon as he heard it, and he didn't want to agree, but he had to agree. Because Victor played a song, allowing the master to see the inside of his body. There are hidden dangers. If you don't do anything, you will die in a few years. So the master has no choice but to take the risk."
"What did Victor do?"
"He gave the master a bottle of potion, and then he kept Send people into the manor and let the master devour me. At first, the master was very cautious and studied the potion repeatedly. But then, he suddenly lost control. When the master still had the remaining consciousness, he hid me here, and then He has been staying in the study on the fourth floor. And Victor continued to send blood food to the master. But after that, he didn’t just give it to others." No wonder
Victor said that he had never killed anyone, he was just a gift It's just a courier who has entered the insect's mouth.
But if Ralph devoured other creatures, the cross-species fusion would probably have caused him a lot of trouble, so much so that he ended up looking like a human, neither an insect nor an insect.
This addictive manor was actually designed by Victor!
This guy may not be as simple as Saul thinks.
"Do you know what kind of strength that Victor is? Can he enter here?" "
No, the master has been meeting him in the study on the fourth floor and has never let him enter here."
After hearing this, Thor paused for a moment . Breathe a sigh of relief.
But just in case, Saul still asked Morton's opinion in the diary.
However, Morton's words once again made Saul's heart lift into his throat.
[No, because I cracked it this time, the magic circle may have lost its original energy. If no one replenishes it, I am afraid it will completely fail in about an hour. 】
