Chapter 119: Meeting a Level 3 Apprentice
Although a cocoon inexplicably invaded his eyes, Thor was not panicking at this time.
Penny is just an ordinary little girl and she has been wearing this cocoon for three or four years without any problem. So he, a wizard apprentice, would not be afraid of it either.
Besides, as long as the diary doesn't get involved, things won't be a big deal.
The only trouble was that he couldn't ask Byron for help now, after all, he couldn't explain the origin of this cocoon.
If it weren't for the diary's hint, he would never have discovered the cocoon.
Only after waiting for a period of time can he put this thing in the open.
The experiment on the Nightmare Cocoon was forced to enter the second option, but we have to wait until we return to the tower to continue the research.
Thor relaxed a little and leaned against the car window, "Where are we going?"
"There is a col around here. Although it is deeper than the original position, it should not be too dangerous for us." Nick, who was behind the sensor, took the initiative to say.
"Will there be some over there as well?" Thor was a little worried. Their trip didn't go smoothly at the beginning.
"It's highly unlikely." Byron said in a low voice, "I thought about it and the reason why those things appeared at the entrance of Chuishou Valley was probably because of a rare tidal storm."
Knowing that Thor didn't understand this, Byron explained it to him in detail.
Thousands of wizards were buried in the Valley of the Hands, so it was divided into two worlds, above ground and underground.
The underground world has become a complex cave composed of tunnels because of the rescue, escape and subsequent excavation that year.
Deep in the cave, dangerous monsters like the Minotaur appear.
They generally don't come out because the outside world is too stable for them and is not conducive to their existence.
But occasionally, several storms would surge out from underground in an irregular direction.
Some monsters will temporarily run to other tunnels or even crawl to the ground following the storms.
Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, everyone will evacuate quickly and it will be much safer if they leave the area affected by the storm.
After all, tidal storms are low-probability events, so the outskirts of the Valley of the Hands is considered a safe zone for wizard apprentices.
None of the three had any intention of evacuating. After all, if they had to evacuate because of this little danger, there would be no point in becoming wizards.
After passing a pile of boulders three or four meters high scattered on the ground, Byron suddenly stopped the wooden spider.
Have we reached the destination? Thor saw Byron leave the wooden spider and jumped down as well.
As soon as he landed, he found that there were several people in front of him.
There should be two groups of people.
One of the groups had four people, fighting with the people opposite them.
But after taking two glances, Thor was sure that this was a one-sided crushing, and that the four people were slaughtered by the one on the opposite side.
There were two people in the opposite group. One of them had long purple hair and was playing with the other four people. The other was sitting on a big rock nearby, looking listless and pale.
At this time, the four suppressed people had begun to suffer casualties. Two of them fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and their skin began to melt.
The pale-faced wizard on the opposite side suddenly spotted Thor and the others, jumped up from the stone, and flew towards them.
Thor immediately activated his spirit body and prepared for battle.
But then he realized that Senior Byron was not in a fighting state. It was just that Nick on the other side looked a little nervous - although there was still no expression on his face.
The pale wizard landed in front of Byron and suddenly smiled and greeted him.
"Hey, Byron, long time no see!"
Byron nodded, "Yeah."
"You are still so cold, haha." The pale wizard seemed to be in a good mood and greeted Nick again, "Nick, it's rare to see you out."
Nick saluted respectfully, "Senior Wright."
The pale wizard named Light finally faced Thor, still smiling, "I haven't seen you before, little guy. Are you the newly promoted level 2?"
Thor also followed Nick's lead and saluted, "Hello, Senior Wright. I just became a Level 2 a while ago."
Light smiled and said, "He doesn't look very old. The newbies nowadays are really amazing. Maybe someone will become a formal wizard before us old guys."
Although Wright calls himself an old guy, he doesn't look old. He is even much younger than Byron, only in his early twenties.
If a wizard apprentice undergoes some transformation on himself, it may slow down the aging of his body, and his true age cannot be inferred from his appearance.
If one becomes a formal wizard, his lifespan will increase significantly, so the wizarding world cannot rely on appearance to infer age and strength.
While they were talking, the purple-haired wizard apprentice had already killed four people on the opposite side.
He opened his mouth towards the corpses, and a purple smoke gushed out of his mouth, covering the four corpses.
After a while, the smoke went back into the purple-haired man's mouth, and the corpse on the ground disappeared, leaving only a pile of clothes.
The purple-haired man stepped forward to pick out the spoils.
Byron stared at the clothes for a few seconds and suddenly asked, "Are they land-boat people?"
Wright quickly raised his hands to show his innocence. "It's none of my business. Those guys saw that there were only two of us and attacked us. You know Bill's character. He always kills his enemies on the spot. I can't persuade him."
Byron frowned, "People who travel by boat on land often act together. Isn't he afraid of killing a few and attracting a bunch of people?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Wright was not nervous. He laughed and said, "It's okay. If they come looking for us, the worst that can happen is that we can just push Bill out."
At this time, the purple-haired man Bill finished dealing with the spoils, put his hands in his pockets, and walked over leisurely.
"Byron? Chuishu Valley is really lively today. Everyone is here to pick up treasures. But why are you still bringing two level 2 players to hold you back?"
When Byron saw Bill, a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes.
He knew that the people traveling by boat on land dared to launch a sneak attack, and that Bill and his men must have deliberately disguised themselves as weaklings.
Land Boat is also a relatively large wizard organization. Its high-end combat power is not as strong as that of the Wizard Tower, so when it encounters apprentices from the Wizard Tower, it usually does not initiate conflicts.
So this time it was very likely that Bill concealed his identity and deliberately lured the other party to attack and then killed him. The person was already dead, and Byron couldn't say anything. He could only hope that there would be no trouble in the future.
"We are not here to look for treasure. But this place is not suitable for you, right?" Byron said lightly.
"Haha, I'm short of money, so I came here with Wright to pick up some corpses." Bill shrugged his shoulders, suddenly turned his head and said to Nick, "But you, Nick, why are you here? I remember you asked for a letter from Teacher Rum and planned to go to Mofan Town for a stroll, right? How was it? Did you secretly steal the Mosheng Fruit? When I go to collect the tribute next month, there won't be any left, right?"
Is Bill the person who goes to Mofan Town every year to receive the Mosheng Fruit?
Thor's heart skipped a beat.
Did he know that Mofan Town had been trading with the barbarians over the years?
Before Shelly died, he said that the Wizard Tower had never helped Mofan Town. Was he referring to Bill? Nick lowered his head slightly, looking a little nervous.
"Senior, you don't have to go there next month. Mofan Town was attacked by barbarians, and the Mosheng fruit fields were destroyed."
Bill raised an eyebrow. "Those wandering wizard apprentices out there are becoming increasingly useless. How could they be ambushed by a group of barbarians?"
He smiled again, "But it's good this way. It saves me the trouble of making this trip every year."
Bill put an arm around Nick's shoulders. "But you won't be able to get the Voice-Grinding Fruit this way, right? Well, I think you have to control your emotions yourself, not rely on potions."
Nick's back was bent due to the pressure, but he could only nod yes repeatedly.
"Since there's nothing else, let's keep going." Byron pulled Nick out from under the hands of others.
Wright asked curiously, "Why are you going inside with two Level 2 apprentices?"
Byron confessed: "Thor saw many head monsters at the entrance. I suspect there is a tidal storm there. It is safer inside."
"Human-headed monster?" Wright also had a solemn expression on his face. "Every time a human-headed monster appears, someone always disappears mysteriously. I hope it won't be us this time."
But Bill's attention was elsewhere.
He tilted his head, walked around Nick and Byron, and saw Thor who had been standing quietly in the back.
"So you are Thor." Bill narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a sense of danger. "I often hear people mention you. You are such an amazing junior."
Who is it that often mentions him to Bill? (End of this chapter)
