Chapter 99 Mo Sheng Guo and the Wandering Apprentice
That night, Sol slept in Ada's house.
He slept on the table, Ada slept on the bed, and Penny slept in the cupboard.
Three people occupy one place each.
Perhaps it was the interaction between Sol and Penny in the evening that stimulated Ada, so he deliberately dug out a hemp rope and tied it between the table and the bed, without covering it with the quilt, and hung it on it as a door curtain.
Thor did not fall asleep. When night enveloped the earth and the surroundings were silent, he slowly opened his eyes.
He lightly jumped off the table and lifted Ada's shabby quilt.
The people inside were already fast asleep.
Ada rolled to the edge of the bed at some point, with one arm and one leg stretched out of the wooden bed.
Sol sat beside the wooden bed and gently opened the large cabinet above.
This time the cabinet door made no sound.
Silent Portal, a very simple level 0 witchcraft.
In the cupboard, young Penny was already asleep, in a much more upright position than her brother.
Maybe it's because I sleep in the cupboard all year round.
But Thor carefully observed Penny's eyes and found that her eyelids were moving all the time, and very intensely.
This is a manifestation of people dreaming.
Penny's face looked very bad, her brows were slightly furrowed, her lips were pursed very tightly, her hands and feet were curled together, and she slept very insecurely.
Thor immediately entered a semi-immersive meditation and observed Penny.
But she was very clean and there was no other abnormality - including her eyes.
Sol reached out and touched Penny's eyes lightly, then touched his own again, but felt no difference.
If it weren't for the endorsement in the diary, Saul wouldn't have noticed anything unusual except that the eyes were beautiful.
But anything that can make a diary interesting is of considerable value.
Should we take away Penny's eyes?
Thor has a way to safely remove Penny's eye.
Anyway, the other party has long been invisible.
But he finally withdrew his hand and closed the cabinet door tightly again.
At this time Ada turned over, from the edge of the wooden bed back to the center.
Sol jumped off the wooden bed and left here directly.
It was midnight, the full moon was high, and there were no cumulus clouds.
Under the slanting moonlight, the town was slightly illuminated.
For Thor, this light is enough.
"It seemed like it was a new moon yesterday, why did it suddenly jump to a full moon today?"
Saul stood on the deserted street of the town and looked up.
"The little memory left by the original body seems to be like this. It seems that the moon in this world is not just a celestial body." Because
Thor has been staying in the wizard tower, this is the first time he discovered the abnormality of the moon.
But now is not the time to look at the moon.
Before taking a carriage to Mofan Town, Sol carefully learned about Moshengguo.
He didn't take many books with him, at least the plant chapter on the knowledge of all things was not with him.
Fortunately, there is an introduction to the grinding fruit in the books that Nick left in the carriage.
The milling fruit is a vine that hangs down like a gourd and is shaped like a recorder. When the wind blows, it makes a sound like a millstone.
The sound is not unpleasant, but it is not friendly enough for ordinary people. Ordinary people will be upset after listening to it. After a long time, they will feel nauseous and dizzy, or even faint to death.
But it is a good witchcraft material, and it is difficult to cultivate and transplant.
It was precisely for this reason that the Wizard Tower accepted the support of Mofan Town, which was beyond its own radiation range.
It is recorded in Senior Nick's book that the real function of Moshengguo is to soothe people's emotions, calm down excited people, and also have a certain effect on spiritual bodies.
Like a sedative.
Since it is a fruit that needs to be supplied to the wizard tower, the mosheng fruit will definitely not be raised randomly in the wild. Someone should cultivate it carefully and guard it at all times.
However, because the grinding fruit makes abnormal noises when exposed to wind, ordinary people cannot plant it in the open air or in windy places. Otherwise, it will be impossible to guard at all, and the cultivation will fail if you are not careful.
Sol picked the tallest building nearby and climbed up. Standing on the top of the chimney, he looked around the entire Mofan Town.
The town was extremely quiet at this time, and almost no place was still lit.
But this also makes the light sources in the northernmost part of the town extremely obvious.
After locking the target, Thor pulled the small algae used as a rope, slowly lowered the roof, and ran towards the target location.
Arriving in the north of the town, Thor found that the light source was still outside the town wall, so he climbed over the unguarded wall and came outside.
A few hundred meters away from the northern wall of the town, there is a row of brick and stone houses.
The houses surrounded an open space surrounded by a three-meter-high wall and topped by a wooden roof.
There is no wind tonight, and many wooden boards have been lifted, revealing the dark green vines and leaves inside.
The vines were not planted densely, and the fruits hanging down could be faintly seen between the wide leaves.
Behind the open space, there is still a three-story tower. The tower was dark, all the windows were boarded up, and there was a faint ominous feeling.
Thor jumped off the city wall, carefully hiding his figure, and approached there.
He still remembered Nick saying that there were two first-level wizard apprentices here. Although Nick described their fighting ability as scum, that was to Nick, and Thor couldn't really let down his guard.
Once they find out that they are apprentices from the Wizard Tower, they will definitely try their best to conceal the reason for the reduced production of Mosheng Fruit - if there is really something fishy involved.
Thor performed another magic trick on himself, carefully avoiding possible prying eyes around him, and finally approached the fenced open space.
There is a bonfire burning here and there is a soldier guarding it every few meters.
Their number was actually greater than the guards stationed at the town gate and patrolling within the town combined.
Looking for an opening, Sol climbed onto a nearby roof.
This time he could clearly see the plants growing in the clearing.
The appearance of the plants was very similar to Nick's description. It's just that the fruit, which should be like a flute, is wrapped in a layer of pulp paper, and only the top connected to the stems and leaves is exposed.
Is this how they prevent the sound from being blown away by the wind?
But will the fruit grow well like this?
We need to build a fence to prevent wind and wrap it with paper. It doesn't look like a place with abundant rain...
If this is the case, Sol thinks it is normal for the production of mosheng fruit to decrease.
Could there be other reasons?
Thor glanced around and saw a house with the same specifications behind the row of houses, but with soldiers guarding it on all sides.
Thor visualized the walking pattern of humans and monsters, carefully observed the surroundings, and found no unusual spirits.
Even the tower with boarded-up windows was clean outside.
Sure enough, outside the wizard tower, cleanliness is the common situation.
Relying on the effect of his magic trick, Thor got into the house guarded by guards through the second floor window.
There were no lights inside the house, and it was dark.
Thor looked in many places, but there was no one there.
Finally, he finally discovered an underground passage in the kitchen on the first floor.
The entrance to the passage is carefully hidden beneath a stove.
Although the stove was disguised to a certain extent, Thor still noticed something strange.
The most important thing was that he felt the faint fluctuation of magic power from that entrance.
There is a wizard's apprentice inside, and he is performing witchcraft.
Thor secretly said: "This magic power fluctuation value is too high. At first glance, it is a wandering wizard who has not received orthodox teaching, no, a wandering wizard apprentice." Now Thor believes Nick's words,
if there are two first-level apprentices like this , he really killed casually.
Although the enemy was weak, Thor did not rush in.
There will most likely be a trap at the entrance to a dark room like this to prevent outsiders from sneaking in. Saul is not sure that he will not disturb the people inside when he enters.
He is here to eavesdrop, not to assassinate.
Fifth update!
