Chapter 209 Kismet
The moment Gorsa put his hand on Sol's shoulder, Sol felt himself sinking.
This sinking feeling is very strange, like passing through a layer of water curtain, or popping a bubble.
When crossing the membrane, Thor vaguely seemed to see countless pairs of eyes watching him and Gortha.
Those eyes were densely packed, one next to the other, and the pupils were as small as the eyes of a needle. As Sol sank, he slowly moved his sight.
When Thor looked into those eyes, he immediately felt inexplicable fear and uneasiness, as if someone was punching him in the heart, suppressing and suffocating him.
Then, his eyes dimmed and brightened again, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had returned to the second warehouse.
The feeling of being watched just now also disappeared.
In front of him were the familiar corpses lined up, and behind him were the tall shelves.
"Did it feel like teleporting just now? Why could I feel the process of space transfer this time when I couldn't detect it before?"
Before he had time to think about it, Thor heard Gorsa ask him.
"Tell me about what happened when you went to Ralph's Manor."
He thought for a moment and sorted out his words.
"After I entered Ralph's Manor, I met a strange man. He has the terrifying ability to control people's consciousness or memory..."
Saul finished all his experiences in the manor in a few words. Focused on Victor's abilities and performance. As for making the antidote in the basement, the difficulty and Morton's help were not emphasized.
Sure enough, after listening to Saul's story, Gorza was the first to mention Victor's anomaly.
"You said he plays the harp?" Gorsa stretched out his pink fingers and tapped his temple gently, "What kind of harp is it?"
Saul was stunned, and this stopped him from asking.
After thinking carefully for a moment, I couldn't remember the appearance of the other party's harp.
"Maybe he doesn't play the harp." Golza's voice was rare and serious. "Victor... always talks about 'fate', has a strange way of speaking, and doesn't like to kill people but doesn't like to do it himself... I think , I know who this person is."
Huh? The tower master actually knows him?
"His name is Kismet, and he is not a native of the Western Continent. In my hometown, many people have seen this wizard. Oh, there was a rumor at the time that wherever he existed, catastrophic disasters would always happen. A mass death incident. That’s why some people call him the Messenger of Death.”
“Messenger of Death!” This time Thor was really suppressed.
Victor, no, Kismet's name made him unable to help but associate it with the Death Wizard's Diary.
What on earth did Kismet want to do when he concealed his identity and secretly went to Ralph's Manor? Is the golden page that saved him from the soul storm also related to Kismet's arrangement?
Thor suddenly clenched his fingers, and his joints couldn't help but tremble, making a slight knocking sound.
It happened that Gorsa didn't speak at this time, so the impact sound was very obvious.
"Are you scared?" Golza suddenly laughed softly.
But Thor took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.
"Yes." He did not deny the intense fear he had just felt.
It was the strong uneasiness caused by the unknown strength and unknown purpose of the enemy, and also the worry about whether there was any connection between Victor and the sudden appearance of the golden page.
A second-level apprentice Sid is planning a diary, and Thor can also find helpers to deal with him. But if a second-level wizard also knows the existence of the diary...
Thor doesn't know whether he can keep the secret of the diary, or whether the other party can discover the location of the diary through clues.
And now the golden page seems to have gone to the diary, but Thor did not dare to check it immediately because there was always a second-level wizard around him.
Anxiety also made his heart restless.
"You don't have to worry too much. I will send someone to investigate this matter. During this period, you will stay in the Wizard Tower and do not take on any external missions." "Yes."
Thor nodded quickly, and then said hesitantly, "How powerful is the tower master...the second-level wizard...how powerful?"
Thor asked carefully. He didn't know if the tower master would shy away from this question, or think that Sol had not yet raised the issue.
Looking at the nervous little apprentice, Gorsa chuckled.
He snapped his fingers, and suddenly there was a single sofa behind both of them.
It looks so soft that you can almost sink into it.
"Since you want to discuss this issue, I suggest you sit down and listen." After saying that, Golza sat down.
It's just that his movements looked very stiff, with his hands and feet standing there in a rigid manner, and it didn't look like he was enjoying the comfort of the sofa at all.
Sol held on to the armrest of the sofa and slowly sat down. He instantly sank into the sofa, feeling so comfortable that he never wanted to stand up again.
"The stuffing of this sofa is filled with something to stabilize your mind. I can leave one for you. If you feel like you are going crazy one day, you can sit down and think about life." Gorsa said with a light smile in his voice. He carelessly said creepy things.
"...Okay."
Sol imitated the actions of the Tower Master, placing his hands on the armrests of the sofa and placing his legs as much as possible on the foot pads below.
But facing Gorsa, he couldn't relax so much after all.
Suddenly, he felt as if he was not lying on a soft sofa, but in a lined coffin.
"It seems that you are ready. Let me tell you briefly about the classification of the wizarding world."
Gorza's voice became calm and gentle, like a lullaby.
"I didn't tell you this before because I didn't want you to imagine high-level abilities when your strength was low. It would easily lead you astray and prevent you from feeling your true improvement."
"However, since the people you often come into contact with are not wizards of the same level as you, I will give you a brief introduction. In case you encounter a powerful enemy, you will not be able to deal with it in advance." "To deal with it in advance?
" Thor repeated.
He looked at the tower master opposite and couldn't imagine how he could deal with it even if he knew how powerful the other party was.
Gorza slowly raised a finger and shook it slightly.
"Naturally, let's see if we can ask for help, escape, or fight to the death. Or we can leave ourselves a quick-death back-up before fighting to the death, preferably one that even annihilates the soul." Thor tightened his lips
. .
He has not thought about preparing a happy death for himself like a dead soldier.
"Don't feel embarrassed or depressed. I have also prepared a way out for myself. I don't want to have to do hard work for others after I die."
Even the tower owner has prepared means of self-destruction!
Is it true that the more powerful a wizard is, the more afraid he is of death?
But Tower Master, when you said this, you were facing the corpses in the warehouse, didn't you really feel guilty?
Thor secretly glanced at the diary on his left shoulder and quickly moved his gaze to the other side.
He thought of Morton, who had been tortured in the soul storm and his consciousness became incomplete, and also thought of Bill and the others who had to work for him after death.
"Maybe I can discuss with the diary brother and ask him to put my consciousness into the diary if I die. Apart from being blurred and becoming ignorant, it is quite comfortable to dissipate to a point."
" Wait, vague consciousness?" A fragment flashed through Sol's mind, and he suddenly connected the diary's ability with Victor's methods.
He slowly clenched his teeth until a sour pain and a faint iron smell came from his gums.
Is it a coincidence?
I always feel that Victor's ability is similar to the diary in some aspects.
So, is there a deeper connection between the two?
Third update!
