Chapter 74 gives an example to explain what a locator is.
Rum stretched out his hands and chanted a spell at the small window.
The black window slammed shut, and the room immediately became a few degrees darker.
Immediately afterwards, the window extended and expanded directly to cover the entire outer wall of this "room".
Thor looked at the changes in front of him and forgot to breathe for a moment.
Like opening a surprise gift box, the black windows slowly tilt outward.
Sunlight penetrated into the room through the gaps, and gradually expanded as the gaps widened, pouring in little by little until it filled the entire room.
Sol felt that the sunlight was a bit dazzling, but he couldn't bear to blink.
Instructor Rum said beside him: "Go over and have a look."
Thor dragged his feet and tentatively approached the window, and the scenery outside came into view bit by bit.
In the farthest distance was a clear blue sky with floating clouds drifting in the wind. The sun was diagonally overhead, and the halo prevented Thor from looking at it for long.
There are black peaks under the sky, rolling up and down. Dense forests fill the gaps in the mountains and extend to the nearby plains.
There are scattered villages and mountain roads appearing in the mountains and forests. Nearby was a gentle wilderness with an unobstructed view, with no humans or animals in sight.
The world is as peaceful as a painting.
"Hello, new world." Thor greeted the world from the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly a clear cry broke the comfort.
A black shadow passed overhead and flew into the distance.
Thor raised his head and saw a huge flying bird breaking through the wind and waves at an extremely fast speed and entering the clouds.
There seemed to be a person standing on the flying bird.
This change brought Thor back to his senses, and he clearly realized again that what was in front of him was not a peaceful remote mountain village, but an abnormal world with wizards and high-end power.
"It looks good. Take a closer look." Instructor Rum's advice came from behind.
Thor's eyes slowly moved downwards, and the dark green wilderness was mottled and faded, then brown land appeared, then turned into burnt yellow, and finally intertwined with pitch black.
Looking down again, the ground dozens of meters away from him was actually a swamp with bubbles constantly rising.
From time to time, bones and weeds were stirred up by the bubbles, and then fell into the mud after a brief struggle.
There were several mutilated corpses floating on it.
Some are facing up, some are facing up, some are facing up, and some are floating slowly under the churning mud.
Suddenly, a black, mud-covered tentacle came out silently, rolled up a corpse, and slowly pulled it downwards.
The corpse naturally won't struggle and can only slowly sink into the mud.
Thor watched the tentacle disappear, and he felt something cold reptile brush against his skin.
Where exactly is the Wizarding Tower of Gortha located? Why is there a quagmire with corpses and monsters under the tower?
Will the apprentices who learn wizard knowledge here finally hide in the mud, or ride on the wind?
The beauty and tranquility all disappeared, and doubts and fears crept into Thor's heart.
Instructor Rum's voice came from behind again.
"Is it scary? Look at your feet again."
Saul lowered his head after hearing this, and his pupils shrank sharply.
He found that he didn't know when he was already standing at the edge of the black window.
Even most of the sole of the right foot is already hanging in the air!
In the next second, he would fall down and become one of the corpses floating in the mud.
Thor came back to his senses, jerked his right foot back, and stepped back again and again, until he retreated to the innermost part of the room, and his back hit the wall with a bang.
Seeing Thor's panic, Rum laughed "hehe" twice.
He leaned forward, and a pool of flesh flowed onto Sol's feet, which felt warm to the touch.
He stretched out his palms to cover Sol's eyes.
"Both beauty and fear are tempting you to fall into the abyss, and the locator is like a black window, which can support your spiritual body when you are lost. But you have to note that the locator can only delay your collapse. , in the end you have to sort out your consciousness on your own to wake up."
By the time Rum put down his hand again, the room had recovered. The window on the outer wall turned into a small one-meter-square window again. The black glass opened inward, and a beam of light came in...
Sol was very panicked just now.
He was not afraid of the birds in the distant mountains outside, nor the bones in the mud nearby.
What Thor is afraid of is that he still hasn't figured out how he walked out of the window step by step.
In his memory, he clearly just leaned towards the window.
But this experience combined with the previous transformation also gave Sol a deeper understanding of the locator.
The locator helps wizards recognize their own existence so as not to get lost in the known and the unknown.
But its capabilities are ultimately limited. If you blindly rely on the locator and do not control your own desires, you will one day escape from the protection of the locator, fall into a puddle of flesh, or turn into something else.
At the same time, the locator is quite private information. If you are familiar with other people's locators, it is very likely that you can grasp other people's Achilles' heel. Therefore, it is taboo to randomly inquire about the locator.
Thor was immersed in self-summarization, but Rum said quietly: "I personally explained half of the knowledge to you, and you are not my apprentice. Well, let me count you 10 credits." Tutor, you are robbing me
!
Thor opened his mouth.
"Or give me ten days of work?"
Sol closed his mouth again.
It turned out to be waiting for him here.
He thought of the conversation that Master Kaz had with Master Rum when he brought him here. At that time, he was asking him to help Master Rum.
In this case, Sol did not refuse.
There is just a premise that must be made clear.
"Teacher Rum, I have only studied for three months. I don't know what I can do."
Rum stared at him, "Now you remember that you are a newcomer? Look at what you did, that is what a newcomer should do. What did you do?"
His belly bulged like a toad.
"Go to the second laboratory on the fourteenth floor and find Nick. By the way, let him get rid of the resentful spirit in you."
This is business!
Thor immediately stood up solemnly and said, "Thank you, Teacher Rum, I'll be there right away!"
Now he no longer hesitated, saluted Teacher Rum and walked out.
When he put his hand on the curtain, Rum's voice came from behind again.
"Before you advance to the second-level apprenticeship, you can think about it carefully. Choosing a major attribute that is not suitable for you is actually a very painful thing." Thor paused, and the words of instructor Rum were a bit touching
. And the meaning of hair.
Doesn't Professor Rum like his current research direction?
Sol opened the curtain and walked out. At the last moment, he glanced back into the room.
The candle lights in the room seemed to have been dimmed deliberately, with only a beam of light coming in.
The meaty instructor Rum sat in the shadow of the room.
Everything is so blurry.
The thick curtain quickly stopped shaking, blocking Saul's prying eyes.
After leaving Teacher Rum's room, Thor walked eagerly to the laboratory.
He had felt before that the nightmare could not be postponed. If there was no help from instructor Rum today, he would also go to Senior Byron or others.
The good news at the moment is that in the eyes of Teacher Rum, solving this resentful spirit is a trivial matter. He didn't even bother to take action and only asked a senior to help Thor.
"I hope that senior can be easier to talk to." Sol thought silently.
Thor left Rum's room and walked quickly towards the ramp. The mentor's floor was much quieter than the apprentice's floor.
The three second-level apprentices who had just lined up at the door have disappeared.
Looking at the deserted corridor under the bright candlelight, Thor suddenly had a strange idea.
This wizard's tower has trapped servants and apprentices. Has it also trapped others?
Is the only one who is truly free, the owner of this tower, Gortha, who was once nicknamed "Big Pink" by Saul?
When Thor saw the tower owner today, he was all wrapped in a brown-red cloak and robe. The little bit of chin exposed showed that Gorsa usually wrapped his whole body in pink silk bandages.
Will such a tower owner be free?
