Chapter 407 False? reality?
"They killed Instructor Gorsa!"
Heywood was extremely angry, clenching his skinny hands into fists and waving them in front of his chest.
It seems that he wants to beat those rebels again.
"I knew those eyes in the mezzanine would make up a history for this hundred years." Saul felt amused.
In their conception, it is normal for Gorsa to die after being betrayed.
After all, these eyes may have died because of the tower owner.
After his death, he was imprisoned in the mezzanine forever, dozing off day after day.
However, Thor still looked shocked, "You mean someone killed the tower owner and destroyed the wizard tower?"
He also showed appropriate doubts, "How could a group of first-level wizards kill the tower owner?"
" I don't know the specific process." Heywood showed a look of regret, "It was the last step of Mrs. Yula's resurrection experiment. And because of the preparations for the pre-experiment, I exhausted my strength and had to rest in the first warehouse. "
Unexpectedly, while I was half asleep and half awake, the upper level of the Wizard Tower suddenly emitted huge fluctuations in magic power and mental power. Just as I was about to get up, I heard a loud noise, and I was knocked unconscious with almost no resistance. "
When I woke up, I wanted to see what was going on. But I saw several mentors besieging Golsa. The mentor's state was obviously not right, something wasn't right..." The
old Heywood started to tremble all over. When the wind blew again, most of the silver hair was taken away, revealing the skin underneath that looked like it had been severely burned.
At the same time, Thor also saw that there was a pit in the back of his head where Heidi had originally been, as if half of the human brain had been hollowed out!
"I originally wanted to save my mentor." The old Heywood didn't notice his changes at all. He was still looking at the sky blankly, "but when I passed by, my mentor suddenly started to burst out with snowflakes."
Thor frowned and thought: "Snowflakes bursting out? Isn't it a blood flower? Isn't this what the half-elf looked like when he died? Is this illusion referencing my recent memory?" The Wizard Tower is a huge place with at least a third-level official wizard
. The family's specialty, Thor can't guarantee whether the things in the mezzanine have abilities similar to those of the Nightmare Butterfly.
But he has a diary to protect him, and the history of his soul itself also has secrets that cannot be pried into. Under normal circumstances, it should be difficult to see his memory.
In other words, this illusion is like a dream. Although it was initiated by someone else, the content of the dream was actually created by himself.
Of course, there are other possibilities, such as the content coming from the thoughts of others...
Saul was determined to determine the cause of the illusion, so he tried to ask: "Why are there snowflakes on the teacher's body?"
Heywood shook his head in confusion, "I don't know. No one knows. I only saw the snowflakes...The snowflakes polluted everyone, all the spirits, and all the plants for a thousand meters nearby..."
I was very scared at the time, very scared, very scared, and got in without thinking about anything. The abandoned underground laboratory is hidden in the deepest part of the Soul-Eating Demon Swamp. But nonetheless, I was tainted. It was Heidi who actively absorbed all the pollution and then detached herself from my body, thus saving my life. "
I was confused for decades, and then I slowly came to my senses. I caught a hunter outside and asked, and then I found out how much time had passed. I found out that almost all the people in the Wizard Tower were dead. Only me and a few people outside had not come back. The wizard apprentice escaped with his life."
The old Heywood lowered his head and stretched out his hands from his sleeves.
Those hands were like twigs in the dark, extremely stiff even if they wanted to move.
"But I also lost most of my strength because of this, and I can barely be considered a first-level apprentice."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head again and stared at Thor's face, "Where did you go? Some people thought you were dead, and some people speculated You already knew that the tower master was contaminated and ran away. But when I see you today, you seem to be exactly the same as when you disappeared."
Heywood's eyes fell from Saul's face to the clothes, "The clothes are all the same, without any signs of wear. It's like time has stopped on you." Saul stepped forward, stepping on the debris with his feet
. The grass rustled.
"Me? I fell into a pit inexplicably. When I climbed out, I saw the world look like this, and you came out and told me that a hundred years have passed."
Thor continued to approach Heywood.
The latter didn't react at first, but gradually became afraid.
He took a step back, tripped over a brick behind his feet, and staggered two steps.
Seeing that the other party was trying to retreat, Sol immediately kicked off his feet and quickly chased after him.
Heywood turned around and wanted to run, but how could his riddled body outrun the young and strong Thor?
Soon, Saul grabbed the back of his neck and pressed him against the broken wall.
"What are you going to do?" Heywood struggled in panic, not at all like the top third-level apprentice a hundred years ago.
It seemed that pollution and death had drained his energy.
"Don't worry, I don't intend to kill you." Thor easily restrained the opponent, not just to consume a fantasy product.
As the only creature in the entire illusion that has autonomous consciousness and the ability to respond, his values and data are worthy of study and analysis.
Thor stretched out his mental power and felt the fluctuations in the other party's feedback. After that, he took a closer look at Haywood's injury and physical condition.
"These data look so real." Thor let go of the old Heywood, who was suddenly not so sure.
Is this really just an illusion created by the evil eyes?
How could those eyes produce such reasonable data unless they experienced it themselves?
Heywood coughed twice. Judging from his appearance and the data that Thor had just sensed, his body was very weak.
I don’t know how I survived a hundred years.
At this time, the sunlight behind the two people began to turn dim.
The sun is going down.
Heywood was not angry, "Are you testing me? I know this is hard to believe, but it is true. It is getting dark, and we must enter the ruins of the Wizard's Tower, otherwise deadly guests will come to our door.
" Heywood was so calm that Thor didn't make any more moves. "What kind of enemy? Can't we just leave here?"
Heywood had already started to turn around and walk back.
"It's useless. Whether you stay in the dark or try to leave, you will be killed by those guys who are staring at you. I just walked around the surrounding forest and caught a few nearby hunters, and almost My son died there. If I hadn't woken up in time and rushed back here, I would have died in the hands of ordinary people who had mutated."
Those horrors seemed to absorb all the resentment in the wizard tower, and were extremely terrifying and powerful. They always shrouded the outside of the Wizard's Tower, like a nightmare.
" So powerful? " Can’t even go out? "
That's right. " Seeing that Saul didn't follow, Heywood couldn't help but turn around and asked helplessly, "Can't you get through?" Don't worry about any traps here. You should have noticed just now that I no longer have the power to activate a large witchcraft circle. He won't be your opponent at all. "
Thor smiled and finally followed up.
"I'm just curious about the enemies you mentioned and want to see what they look like. From your description, it sounds a bit like an evil spirit.
"It would be nice if it was just an evil spirit. " After a while, it will be completely dark, you will see it. "
Haywood took Thor and walked in through a door in the West Tower.
Because only part of the first floor and a small amount of the second floor of the Wizard Tower are left, Haywood has been living on the first floor of the West Tower over the years.
This place used to be a garbage dump. The same existence, but because of this, he could find a lot of supplies.
Heywood built a small house in this garbage dump.
Entering this dangerous building, the first thing Heywood did was to light a candle lamp.
This candle lantern is very familiar. It is the white candle that can be seen everywhere in the wizard's tower.
"After dark, you must not leave the light source of the candle."
Heywood turned around, and the pale light shone on his face, making the scars on his face even more terrifying.
"Otherwise, I will die."
