Chapter 140 Knowledge Changes Destiny
Morton knew that his state was actually chaotic.
When he was in the soul storm, it was difficult for him to maintain his sanity even for a short time. He was constantly being torn apart, then merged, torn apart again, and merged again.
It was not until he unconsciously swallowed many soul fragments that he slowly regained his consciousness and remembered who he was.
Even so, Morton, who had lost part of his soul, would often fall into confusion and would have to compete with other consciousnesses for control of his spirit from time to time.
Until he accidentally entered the boy's body, the interference of other consciousness was suddenly weakened, which allowed him to stay awake for a long time.
If he really can't find his missing soul, it means he can never find his sanity again.
When this body decays due to death, Morton will return to chaos and never wake up again! "Humph, in the underground, any tricks you play will be useless. But if I find out that you have deceived me, I will make you die miserably!"
After saying that, Morton looked at Wright, who was lying on the ground, not daring to move, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Byron noticed and quickly stopped him: "Master Morton, this man is also an apprentice of our wizard tower. You can ask him to come with us. We also need help in drawing the magic circle."
Wright immediately looked at Byron's phantom with tears in his eyes. He didn't expect that the other party would save his life at this time.
After hearing this, Morton snorted coldly, but did not actually take action.
Seeing that Morton had agreed to come, Byron extinguished the phantom stone in his hand.
The azure blue stone immediately dimmed and shattered and could no longer be used.
Byron touched his throat. He felt that he had never spoken so much in his life and his throat felt very uncomfortable.
Nick, who had been standing next to Byron, spoke hesitantly, "Senior Byron, are the missions you just mentioned true?"
Byron glanced at him and said, "It's made up."
Nick was shocked. He tried to calm himself down. He couldn't get too excited now.
But he couldn't help but admire Byron.
Byron was so bold that he made up a lie and deceived the evil spirits.
The evil spirits have confused consciousness and are indeed not very smart, but they are experienced and will not be easily fooled.
But what Byron said made so much sense that even Nick almost believed it.
What about the Kerma family, Lady Euler, marriage and the Western Treaty.
Byron actually said it as if it were true! "Only the mission is made up, everything else is real. Before coming here, I studied the history of Chuishou Valley many times, just in case. I just didn't expect to use it here." Sighing, Byron stopped explaining, "Get to work, follow the plan."
Nick looked down at the instrument in his hands. "Can we really save Thor by doing this? He has been possessed for so long, will his consciousness be gone?"
Byron paused and whispered, "Try your best. If it doesn't work, he'll die and we'll run."
Nick didn't know whether Byron really thought so, but he knew that when Morton was undergoing soul fusion, he would concentrate all his energy and not be distracted by the outside world.
Once the plan changes, they can take the opportunity to escape.
This is why Nick joined the project.
As long as there is a high probability that he can get away with it safely, Nick is willing to do his best for Thor.
While Byron and Nick were making preparations, Morton was moving quickly towards the underground soul storm.
Behind him was Wright, who was staggering.
Thor sat on the diary, watching the evil spirit's steps getting bigger and faster, and he knew that the evil spirit was not as calm as he appeared.
It seems that Morton is well aware of the consequences of a damaged soul.
I just don't know what kind of traps Byron set there to give him the confidence to face the evil spirit head-on? Thor was almost deceived by Byron just now, but he finally realized that there was no Lady Euler in the tower. Even if there was a hidden mission, it should have been issued by the tower master.
If Byron had such a deep relationship with the tower master Gorza, he would not have been almost kicked out of the wizard tower at the age of thirty.
But Thor still didn't quite understand why Byron gave up the opportunity to escape quietly and instead showed up to lure the evil spirit over.
"Does Senior Byron know that I'm still alive?"
Saul sat on his journal, stroking his chin, thinking about Byron's intentions.
"This cannot be determined for the time being, but if Byron really helps Morton integrate the missing soul, it will definitely be disadvantageous to me. Should I take my body back now?" Thor looked at his hands, which were already filled with spirits, and the various consciousnesses absorbed by Morton were also struggling in Thor's spiritual body.
Although it was a pity that he could not absorb Light's consciousness, if Thor launched a battle for consciousness now, the undead killed by Morton should cause him considerable trouble.
Unfortunately, just as he thought of this, words immediately appeared in the diary, warning Thor that the time was not yet ripe.
"Is the timing too early? Or is there something I haven't considered?"
Although he was warned by the diary, Thor, in his spirit form, was not too scared.
While the evil spirit was on its way, he lowered his head and re-deduce the precautions and success rate of the battle for consciousness.
Because the evil spirit was controlling Thor's body, its movements were not very fast.
Although he could have easily abandoned Thor's body and run back, it was obvious that the evil spirit couldn't bear to give up this body that allowed him to walk in the sun.
With a lot of questions in his mind, Thor followed the evil spirit and finally approached the cave where the soul storm was.
The two ghosts and one man walked through an extremely narrow passage and entered a wide space.
To say it's spacious is an understatement.
In the middle of the cave, there is a bottomless crack, and at the bottom is darkness that cannot be illuminated by fire.
A small whirlwind with a diameter of no more than one meter hung between the cracks.
The whirlwind was grayish white, without any stones or soil in it. Although the wind seemed very strong, it did not stir up even a small piece of sand on the ground.
The wind was howling, and from time to time there were strange whispers and wails, which made people's ears tinnitus and dizzy.
Occasionally a human face or a hand would be seen, trying to break free from the storm, but they were quickly pulled back in.
Morton stopped when he reached the crack. He looked at the soul storm and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
This little soul storm trapped the consciousness and spirits of countless people.
Morton was also tortured in there for a long time.
If it weren't for his broken soul, he didn't want to return to this place.
After stopping to look at the soul storm for a few seconds, Morton was sure that Byron had not lied to him about the soul storm.
The current soul storm is indeed unstable, and some broken souls are gradually breaking away from the suction of the storm.
If this soul storm really collapses, then the lost part of Morton's soul will also enter the unknown underground due to the final explosion of the storm.
He turned his attention to Byron standing beside him.
Byron was no longer an illusion now. When he saw Morton looking at him, he immediately bowed and his expression became more respectful.
There was a man standing next to Byron, who saluted with Byron with an expressionless face.
Thor recognized that it was Nick who had been unconscious for a long time.
At this time, Wright, who had finally climbed here, moved to Nick's side with difficulty.
Looking at Wright's embarrassed appearance, Nick's eyes flashed, but there was no other expression.
There were also some experimental props placed in front of Nick.
Thor noticed that the small inductor that Nick brought was also inside.
It only has some of the functions of an electric chair, but it is very easy to carry.
Morton looked around and walked over to the pile of props. "Is this how you're going to help me find a missing soul? With this pile of junk?"
