Chapter 327 Soul Tide
"What?"
After hearing Thor's words, Sander froze on the spot. After three breaths, he asked again in disbelief.
"Do you remember anything special that happened before getting off the boat?"
"I..." Xander's eyes kept trembling.
The long-buried truth came to light, and he could hardly hold back his emotions.
"Calm down, don't you want to know why Midore died?"
Sander sniffed hard and said in a trembling voice: "I remembered, I remembered, when the ship docked There was a soul tide in Blue Water Bay before, so we waited on the sea all night and landed in the early morning." "
What is the soul tide?" Thor had never heard of this term.
"It is said that many years ago, there was a tragic war on the Western Continent. Many countries were involved, and an empire was almost destroyed because of it. At that time, two armies clashed in Blue Water Bay." "Who
? During a night battle in which both sides were fighting with all their strength, the water in Blue Water Bay suddenly rose and swallowed up all the soldiers. Only a few officers commanding from the rear escaped. After that, many people in Blue Water Bay were killed every year. They were inexplicably swept away by the waves. It was not until the end of the war, when a wizard came to take care of it, that this phenomenon of mass deaths for no reason stopped. But occasionally, a large number of blurry figures would appear ashore with the rising tide, and then The phenomenon of ebb and flow receding together. The residents of Bluewater Bay call it the soul tide." "
Whenever there is a soul tide, someone will go missing, so the captain informed us to stay at the sea for a day and wait until dawn before landing. Is that the one At night?"
"Did anything strange happen to Mi Duoer that night?"
"No, because I was tired from the journey, I waited for her to fall asleep on the bed, then leaned on the chair and fell asleep. Oh, that's right!" Sander seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Thor, "Midnight When I was sleeping, I suddenly heard my sister calling me, but when I woke up, she asked me to go back to sleep, saying that nothing would happen. I thought she was playing a prank, and I was too sleepy at the time, so I fell asleep again. ."
"If I guessed correctly, she died before disembarking." Thor lowered his voice. He felt that Sander in front of him was like a small person made of sand, which would be blown away by the strong wind at any time. . "Impossible, I clearly talked to her before disembarking." Sander waved his arms excitedly, "And I watched him get into the box with my
own eyes, and I sealed the box with my own hands."
He was like a child who was at a loss and had forgotten to respect the wizard.
"Maybe what you saw was an illusion. Maybe Mido was still conscious at that time, but if a person was suffocated to death, her skin would not be in this condition now." "It's not... suffocated to death
... ..." Xander looked at his sister blankly. She was the same now as she was a few years ago, as if she was just asleep, not dead.
Sol lowered his eyes, supported his knees with his hands, stood up slowly, and said casually, seemingly casually: "In short, she was not accidentally suffocated to death by you." Sander suddenly raised his head, and his dry eyes suddenly turned red
.
His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't speak.
Sol didn't let him say anything and interrupted directly: "Okay, I have checked the house and you have found the missing things. Let's not delay any more and sign the sublease agreement now."
Xander hadn't calmed down yet, so he could only nod his head fiercely.
After packing the boxes again, the two of them returned to the carriage outside the house and signed the agreement.
Afterwards, Thor asked the mushroom driver to take the people back to the outpost town, and he returned to the lakeside cabin.
"Blue Water Bay, Soul Tide... If that's the case, there should be a lot of soul fragments and resentful spirits there. With such a large scale, there might even be a few evil spirits."
Thor closed the door and stood back in the center of the hall, where the box had just appeared.
"You can go over there to replenish your soul energy in two days. It's easy to squeeze yourself out if you are always sitting on nothing."
At this point, Thor suddenly stamped his feet, "But before that, we must first solve the problem in this room. Question. Did you come out on your own, or did I catch you?" There
was no response in the room.
Thor was not in a hurry. A black tentacle stretched out from the back of his neck and hung to the ground, swimming on the ground like a black python.
"A rattan box suddenly appeared. Does it want us to leave as soon as possible?"
Xiaozao's head stopped at a corner. Finally, it extended upward, crawled along the wall, went straight, then turned a right angle, and finally went straight, turning a right angle again. .
Sol walked over and watched Xiaozao draw a square on the wall with his body.
"Well, it seems that the one who controlled the box was not a conscious person."
Instead of finding the resentful spirit that was originally thought to be hidden here, he found a strange passage. Thor touched his nose and felt a flash of embarrassment.
He asked Xiaozao, who was extremely sensitive to the smell of death, to come back and check it himself.
"A well-hidden dark room." Saul's hand lightly brushed against the wall, but he didn't feel anything unusual.
He closed his eyes and recalled looking at the size of the wooden house outside.
"There is indeed a secret room, but it should be very small. Is it to hide something?"
Sol's hand pressed against the wall gradually became transparent, and his fingertips suddenly passed through the wooden wall.
But he didn't go deep and quickly pulled his hand out.
The moment he pulled out his hand, a gray-white tentacle could be vaguely seen turning into a human hand.
"There is nothing inside, not even defensive magic." After a brief exploration, Thor directly followed the square that Xiaozao had drawn before.
His magic power was released from his fingers, turning into a black touch of abuse.
The corrosive power soon broke through the magic circle on the wall, and a hidden door appeared.
Thor opened the door and saw the witchcraft circle engraved on the back of the door.
"What a complicated magic circle." Thor only glanced at it. With his current mental strength, he even felt dizzy.
However, when he started to use the meditation method, his dizziness symptoms were greatly reduced. When he opened the diary again, the negative mental impact caused by the magic circle on him was completely eliminated.
"This magic circle focuses on hiding fluctuations, and the formula used is something I have never seen before. What did the original owner of this house want to hide?"
Thor walked in and found that a layer of dust had fallen inside, and he used witchcraft to remove it. The dust on the surface finally revealed the patterns on the floor that had been covered in dust for who knows how many years.
"Another magic circle? Use a magic circle to hide the magic circle?" Thor did not approach immediately, but looked at both sides of the room. After confirming that there were no other magic circles in the room, he cautiously approached the magic circle.
"Use the forest to hide the house, use witchcraft similar to blindfolding to hide the darkroom, use the darkroom to hide the magic circle... I want to see how rare this hidden thing is." Thor looked at the
entire magic circle, his brows gradually furrowed. rise.
"Why does this magic circle look familiar?"
A light clicked in his mind, and his puzzled expression gradually turned into surprise.
In order to confirm his memory again, Thor quickly rummaged through the notes he carried with him.
He took out a notebook that was not of high importance but recorded rare witchcraft knowledge, turned to the first few pages, and settled on one of the magic circle formula diagrams.
That was what he once got from the wandering wizard in Mofan Town...a witchcraft circle that extracts souls!
And this so-called haunted house’s witchcraft circle is obviously an upgraded version of the former!
