Some time after Chapter 473: Dark Soul Blade and Eye of the Abyss
, Thor participated in several more sweeper missions.
Each mission requires at least three wizards. Although Baidong Academy occupies a large area and has a large population, there are still only a few wizards with super fighting power who like to face evil spirits directly.
Most people here are more accustomed to doing research in the laboratory, so after completing a few tasks, repeated faces began to appear around Saul.
During this period, Julie came to Sol several times, but was turned away by him.
It's not that Thor really resists developing deeper relationships with other female wizards. But facing this kind of wizard who could arouse people's emotions, he decided to stay away.
When Thor was not involved in missions, he would huddle in his newly rented penthouse and conduct experiments.
Because the frequency of evil spirits appearing in Archaeological City was obviously abnormal, Thor believed that it was affected by some factors.
So, he began to try to find the opportunity for his soul to become an evil spirit. He studied this not to help the city solve the fundamental problem, but to conduct an experiment he had planned for a long time - soul weapons.
The two abnormal spirits captured by Saul, John and his girlfriend, are both experimental materials and experimental subjects.
Especially John, between the evil spirit and the evil spirit, is the most suitable to observe the process of its evolution into an evil spirit. It is a very rare experimental opportunity.
Once he understands the reasons for the formation of evil spirits, or at least understands what factors are most likely to cause spiritual body pollution and confusion of consciousness, he can begin to transform the four consciousness bodies in the diary.
Now even the strongest Moton is lacking in combat effectiveness. They cannot perform large-scale witchcraft, and the little magic power in the container cannot support them in a long-term battle.
It would be enough for normal times, but Thor is about to go to the Borderlands. He must find ways to improve his combat effectiveness.
At the same time, Thor was also studying the knowledge that the second-level wizard Jassim left for him before he died.
The little black bug hiding deep in his spiritual body has been suppressed by the diary and consciousness platform. It wasn't until Saul took the initiative to explore that he discovered the secret inside.
After several days of research, it was discovered that this bug was a rather special kind of soul fragment. By dividing one's own soul, it can carry a piece of consciousness into the spiritual body of others.
In this way, the person being passed on can directly learn certain knowledge or know something.
But when Saul figured out the principle, he just sneered and did not appreciate Jassim's idea.
Without him, this kind of witchcraft has great hidden dangers and the harm is hidden deep.
When Jassim passed this knowledge on to Saul, he himself lost the memory of this knowledge. Although through acquired understanding and learning, he can regain this knowledge. But if he is not reminded in time, he will never forget this experience.
Jassim had already decided to die at that time, so he naturally had no worries in this regard.
But the hidden dangers of this witchcraft to Thor are not small.
Although Thor can directly understand the knowledge Jassim taught him through this soul fragment, he must also absorb other ideas taught to him by Jassim.
In other words, once Jassim mixes some of his own three views, beliefs, and obsessions into this consciousness, Saul is likely to become a person like him.
This is a subtle influence. It may not be strong at first, and it may not even really affect the decisions of the inheritors.
But over time, it will take root and sprout like a seed, changing the mind of the recipient little by little. If it cannot be discovered and eliminated in time, the personality of the recipient may change drastically. A bully who originally killed people and set fire may become a A kind person who cannot help but help a beggar when he sees one.
When Jassim died calmly, Saul knew that this man must be a person with strong beliefs.
When people like this are passing on knowledge, can they resist passing on some of their own ideas?
Thinking of this, Thor did not intend to accept this piece of knowledge directly. But this does not mean that he simply gave up on Jassim's legacy.
Having a diary, he chose another way to filter this piece of soul.
He directly integrated this inheritance into the black page of Gu Duo!
Gu Duo, who was originally a little weak, suddenly became three points stronger after fusing this soul fragment.
Later, under the constraints of Saul's orders and diary, Gudo directly recited the knowledge he had obtained to Saul in full.
As expected by Thor, the inheritance left by Jasim is his black blade that is quite powerful in frontal combat - the Dark Spirit Blade.
This is a powerful witchcraft that can attack both the spiritual body and the physical body at the same time. It can also be split into hundreds of fragments to attack multiple enemies at the same time.
Of course, the attack power of the split fragments is not as powerful as the complete Dark Spirit Blade. But as a top second-level wizard, one fragment can kill a third-level apprentice, and several fragments combined can kill a first-level wizard with ordinary abilities.
This is a very powerful dark attribute witchcraft, very suitable for Thor who does not have destructive attack witchcraft!
However, just as Thor happily began to copy the witchcraft rune structure of the Dark Soul Blade, Gudo, who had absorbed Jassim's inheritance, suddenly began to talk to himself naturally, completely ignoring the consumption of soul energy.
[Ah, so that’s it. I finally understand why the Tribunal sent people to hunt us down. ]
[Exhausting so much manpower and material resources just to chase a few of us first-level wizards...]
[Oh, maybe if I had known better, I would have gone back earlier. ]
[No, I may also be so scared that I start to act crazy. ]
[I really admire Jassim, knowing all this, he can still pursue us calmly. ]
[Maybe this is the reason why he can become the top second level. ]
[Without such persistent belief, how could it be possible to break through the barrier between level one and level two? 】
Seeing this, Thor also completed the copying of the entire complex witchcraft rune structure.
More than twenty pages of parchment were written.
If you add in the subsequent dismantling analysis and personal insights, it will be enough to form a complete book on witchcraft.
But Saul did not continue. He looked at Gudo's self-talk with some strangeness.
"What else is hidden in Jassim's knowledge?"
[He sent the secrets about the establishment of the Tribunal. ]
"What is it? I think you seem to have a deep understanding."
[It is the secret of the establishment of the tribunal. 】
Thor raised his eyebrows. For the first time, the consciousness in the diary avoided his question in this way.
Is it because the soul fragments injected by Jassim do affect consciousness itself? Or is the conscious self-awareness resisting the control of the diary?
No matter what, Thor had to figure this out.
"I order you to directly tell the contents of the secret you obtained."
[I...I...]
Gudo's white handwriting began to become messy.
It was obvious that he was trying hard to resist Thor's orders.
Cracks began to appear on the black pages.
This is also a phenomenon that has never happened before!
But in the end, the diary was successful. Gu Duo's handwriting was like a person writing with the palm of his hand. During the struggle, many characters would suddenly draw long tails.
[The Tribunal was established because the Eye of the Abyss is expanding! In order to prevent the expansion, they——]
However, Gu Duo's writing stopped abruptly, because the entire page shattered with a "bang".
Thor watched in astonishment as the pages of the book turned into black powder, being absorbed bit by bit by the strange starry sky inside his consciousness.
After all, he failed to obtain the secrets of the Tribunal.
This is the first time that the diary failed to control the consciousness sealed in the black pages.
At the same time, Thor also understood the power of the Tribunal.
"The Eye of the Abyss..." Thor whispered silently.
He thought of the huge depression on the back of the planet.
This depression seems to have penetrated deep into the center of the earth. Apart from it, Thor doesn't know what else can match the adjective "Eye of the Abyss" which is not simple at first sight.
"The Eye of the Abyss...is expanding?"
