Chapter 327 Soul Tide

"What?"

After hearing Thor's words, Sander stood there in a daze. After three breaths, he asked again in disbelief.

"Do you remember anything special that happened before you left the ship?"

"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 Midor died?"

Xander sniffed hard and said in a trembling voice, "I remember now, I remember now, before the ship docked, there was a soul tide in Blue Water Bay, so we waited on the sea for a whole night and docked in the early morning."

"What is soul tide?" Thor had never heard of this term.

"It is said that many years ago, a tragic war broke out in the Western Continent. Many countries were affected and an empire was almost destroyed. At that time, two armies clashed in Blue Water Bay."

"Who would have thought that during a night battle where both sides fought with all their might, the sea water in Bluewater Bay suddenly rose, swallowing up all the soldiers, with only a few officers in command at the rear escaping. After that, many people were inexplicably swept away by the waves in Bluewater Bay every year. It was not until the end of the war that a wizard came to deal with it, and this phenomenon of large-scale deaths without reason stopped. But occasionally, a large number of blurry figures would come ashore with the high tide and retreat with the low tide. The residents of Bluewater Bay call it the Soul Tide."

"Whenever there is a soul tide, people go missing, so the captain notified us to stay on the sea for a day and dock at daybreak. Could it be that night?"

"Did anything strange happen to Miduoer that night?"

"No, because of the tiredness from the journey, I waited for her to fall asleep on the bed, and then I fell asleep leaning against the chair. Oh, right!" Sander seemed to remember something and suddenly turned his head to stare at Thor. "In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard my sister calling me, but when I woke up, she asked me to go back to sleep and said that nothing was wrong. I thought she was playing a prank, and I was too sleepy at the time, so I fell asleep again."

"If I'm not mistaken, she died before getting off the ship." Thor lowered his voice. He felt that Sander in front of him was like a little man made of sand, which could be blown away by the wind at any time.

"Impossible, I clearly spoke to her before I got off the ship." Sander waved his arms excitedly, "And I saw him get into the box with my own eyes, and I sealed the box with my own hands."

He was like a bewildered child at this moment and had forgotten to respect the wizard.

"Maybe what you saw was an illusion. Maybe Miduoer still had her own consciousness at that time. But if a person suffocates to death, her skin will not be in the current state."

"No... I suffocated to death..." Sander stared at his sister in a daze. She looked the same as she did a few years ago, as if she was just asleep and not dead.

Sol lowered his eyes, propped his hands on his knees, and slowly stood up, saying casually, "Anyway, she wasn't suffocated to death by you accidentally."

Sander raised his head suddenly, and his already dry eyes suddenly turned red.

His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't speak.

Thor didn't let him say anything and interrupted him directly: "Okay, I have checked the house and you have found the lost things. Let's not delay any longer and sign the sublease agreement now."

Xander hadn't recovered yet and could only nod vigorously.

After packing up the boxes again, the two returned to the carriage outside 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 vengeful 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 there in a couple of days to replenish your soul energy. If you keep doing nothing, you'll end up draining yourself dry."

At this point, Thor suddenly stamped his feet and said, "But before that, we need to solve the problem in this room first. Do you want to come out by yourself, or do you want me to pull you out?"

There was no response in the room.

Thor was not in a hurry either. A black tentacle stretched out from the back of his neck and hung down to the ground, moving on the ground like a black python.

"A rattan box suddenly appeared, trying to get us to leave as soon as possible?"

Xiaozao's head stopped at a corner of the wall, and finally it stretched upwards, crawled along the wall, went straight and then turned a right angle, and finally went straight and turned a right angle again.

Thor walked over and watched Xiaozao draw a square on the wall with his body.

"Well, it doesn't seem like a conscious mind was controlling the box's appearance."

Instead of finding the vengeful spirit that he thought was hiding here, he found a strange passage. Thor touched his nose and a moment of embarrassment passed by.

He asked Xiaozao, who was extremely sensitive to the smell of death, to come back, and he went forward to check.

"A well-hidden dark room." Thor's hand gently brushed across the wall, but did not feel anything unusual.

He closed his eyes and recalled looking at the area of ​​the cabin from the outside.

"There is indeed a secret room, but it should be very small. Is there something hidden there?"

The hand that Thor pressed on the wall gradually became transparent, and his fingertips suddenly passed through the wooden wall.

But he didn't go deeper and quickly pulled his hand out.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The moment the hand was pulled out, a gray-white tentacle could be vaguely seen turning into a human palm.

"There's nothing inside, not even any defensive magic." After a brief exploration, Thor went straight along the square that Xiaozao had drawn before.

His magic power released from his fingers and turned into a black touch of torture.

The corrosive force quickly broke through the magic circle on the wall, and a hidden door appeared.

When Thor opened the door, he saw the witchcraft circle engraved behind it.

"What a complicated magic circle." Thor only took a glance at it, and even with his current mental strength, he still felt dizzy.

However, when he started to practice meditation, the symptoms of dizziness were alleviated a lot, and when he opened the diary again, all the negative mental effects of the magic circle on him were eliminated.

"This magic circle is focused 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 there was a layer of dust inside. He used witchcraft to remove the dust on the surface and finally saw the patterns on the floor that had been covered in dust for who knows how many years.

"Another magic circle? Using a magic circle to hide a magic circle?" Thor did not approach immediately, but looked to both sides of the room. After making sure that there were no other magic circles in the room, he approached the magic circle carefully.

"Using the forest to hide the house, using a witchcraft-like haunted house to hide the dark room, and using the dark room to hide the magic circle... I want to see how rare this hidden thing is."

Thor looked at the entire magic circle and his brows gradually furrowed.

"Why does this magic circle look familiar?"

A light suddenly lit up in his mind, and his puzzled expression gradually turned into surprise.

In order to confirm his memory again, Thor quickly searched for the notes he carried with him.

He took out a notebook that was not very important but contained rare and precious witchcraft knowledge, flipped to the first few pages, and stopped at one of the formula diagrams for a magic circle.

That was the magic circle for extracting souls that he had obtained from a wandering wizard in Mofan Town!

The so-called witchcraft array of this haunted house is obviously an upgraded version of the former one! (End of this chapter)
