Chapter 148 This is how to apologize
Thor was a little confused.
But Byron stepped forward and pulled Thor out, then put away his pockets and said, "I'll give it to you when I get back. There are enemies. Let's go quickly."
Although Thor didn't know what was happening, he subconsciously followed Byron.
Their original camp was near the cave, but most of the things were destroyed by the previous shelling.
Thor pointed to a cave and told them that he had hidden all his valuables there.
But when Wright ran over, he saw that it was empty.
"It should have been found by the people in the land boat." Nick said, "The wood spider is gone too."
Wright bared his teeth as he stared at the people on the land boat. "I'm going to kill them all! It just so happens that these guys have been trying to kill us since they showed up. They want to silence us. There must be something going on here."
"Kill quickly and run quickly." Byron also agreed.
Two third-level apprentices walked over, looking aggressive.
A few people in the land boat realized that something was wrong and got up and tried to run.
"Stop!" a loud shout.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
It's Thor.
He put one hand to his temple again, his face twisted slightly, and pointed at the cliff opposite with the other hand, "Can that ship still be started?"
The men in the land boats now went weak at the sound of Thor's voice, but after realizing what he was talking about, one of them actually mustered up the courage to say, "It only takes five men to start a three-masted sailboat. We can sail it for you, so please spare our lives."
Nick immediately said, "We drove their boat and might be tracked."
But Wright said, "Come on, we can't outrun the pursuers on foot. If they are real wizards, we have nowhere to hide. As long as we leave the Valley of the Hands, I don't believe they dare to chase us into the territory of the Wizard Tower!"
Thor agreed with Light's point of view and suggested that escaping by boat was the same idea.
Time was running out, so Byron finally decided to run away by boat, no matter whether there was a tracking signal on the boat or not, and he would run as far as he could.
He and Wright look energetic now, but they are actually very exhausted.
Thor was obviously not in good condition. His face looked normal now, but no one knew whether the melting of his whole body would have any subsequent effects on him.
We had to get back to the wizard tower as soon as possible! The four of them held the remaining enemies on the land boat hostage and boarded the opposite three-masted sailing ship as quickly as possible.
Once on deck, they were surprised to find that most of their instruments and wooden spiders had been moved here.
However, there was no time to count the prisoners, so they immediately took the prisoners to sail.
There happened to be five people still alive on the land boat.
As a patient, Thor doesn't have to work.
He rubbed his head and sat casually next to their lost and found luggage.
Soon, the sailboat gradually rose to one meter off the ground.
Then all three sails dropped. Although there was no wind, the sails seemed to be swollen by something.
The whole ship began to move quickly.
"Finally I'm running." Thor breathed a sigh of relief. "Damn, my head hurts. Is this the aftereffect of the fight in my head?"
A sharp pain came over him, and Thor unconsciously leaned to the side, bumping into the soul wave sensor next to him.
Thor, who was originally fighting against the pain, seemed to see something in his peripheral vision.
He immediately turned his head and discovered that a flat black shadow appeared in the mirror of the sensor.
The dark shadow was standing behind Thor, with his head slightly lowered, as if he was watching him.
“Huh!”
Thor immediately stood up and looked behind him.
Naturally he couldn't see anything.
He looked at the sensor again, and the shadow was still standing behind him as he moved.
Thor slowly turned his head to look at the switch of the sensor.
Sure enough, the sensor was not activated at all! Thor remembered that the shadow behind him was actually the shadow that appeared in the sensor at the entrance of Chuishou Valley! "Could it be that when I entered Chuishou Valley, I was already entangled by an evil spirit?"
This spirit had a solid body, completely different from the blurry spirit they saw later.
But because it never appeared again, Thor gradually forgot about this spirit.
Unexpectedly, it kept following Thor.
"An evil spirit has tortured me half to death. If this spirit is also an evil spirit, then I don't need to think about resisting. I'll just lie down and wait for death."
Thor laughed at himself and slowly sat back down.
However, his greatest confidence comes from the diary that floats quietly on his left shoulder.
"Since you won't die for the time being, you should rest for a while."
Another headache came over him, and Thor leaned directly against the mirror of the sensor.
And in the distorted mirror, the dark shadow standing silently behind Thor gradually faded away.
The land sailing boat was very fast. They gradually left the Chuishou Valley and passed through the plains and woods.
The boat can be up to five meters off the ground to prevent the bottom of the boat from being scratched by tree branches.
But this consumes more energy and can only be sustained for a limited time.
Until now, there were no pursuers behind them, and the nervous crowd was somewhat relieved.
The prisoners were a little disappointed at first, but no one knew what they discussed in private, and later they actually looked relieved.
However, everyone is still worried about these people. After all, they are not familiar with the ship, and who knows if they are playing any tricks.
The next morning, Byron was examining Saul and Nick was taking notes.
Wright suddenly ran up cursing.
"These guys actually dared to lie to me!"
Nick stood up immediately, "What's wrong?"
"It doesn't take five people to drive a boat. Especially after the boat is started, only one person is needed to adjust the direction."
Nick thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they are afraid that if they tell the truth, the extra people will be killed."
Byron did not participate in the discussion. He put down Thor's sleeves. "It seems that except for the skin on his hands that has dissolved, everything else has returned to normal. But there may also be hidden dangers that I cannot detect."
"Your headache is the sequelae of the evil spirit possession, and the evil spirit absorbed a lot of soul fragments when it was in your body. Although most of them disappeared after the evil spirit died, it is not ruled out that there will be omissions. In short..."
"Anyway, after I go back, I need to find someone more professional to help me check and treat it."
Nick covered his forehead, as if recalling something: "Fortunately, at that time, I thought your whole body would dissolve and turn into a pile of bones. This time, you and Senior Byron really opened my eyes."
Thor smiled but said to Byron, "When did you become such a good actor? You fooled the evil spirit."
Byron answered seriously: "I learned it from you."
Thor: “…”
Wright let out a "ha" and then stopped. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and at the same time looked at Byron with admiration.
The latter stood up and put his hand on Wright's shoulder, "Next time, wait for me to come over and take over the shift."
Wright lowered his head. "Oh, I tied up the remaining four people and told the one driving the boat that if he didn't behave, I would kill him and replace him with the next one."
Byron nodded, stood up and walked down the deck.
There was a moment of silence on the deck.
Nick, who was sorting out the documents, noticed that Wright was standing there awkwardly, neither resting nor meditating.
Opposite him, Thor began to rub his head with his bony hands again.
Nick stood up, cleared his throat and said, "I'm going to the lookout to see if there are any pursuers."
After saying that, he left quickly.
After Nick left, Wright seemed to finally muster up the courage to step forward.
Thor, who was having a headache, opened his eyes alertly and looked at Wright expressionlessly.
"Um... I'm sorry!" Light suddenly bowed deeply to Thor, "But it was not me who hurt you in the cave before."
Wright quickly recounted what happened to Thor after he fell behind.
After seeing that Thor still had no expression on his face, he spoke nervously: "When I saw you falling behind, I thought you couldn't get out, so I..."
Seeing that Thor was just staring at him expressionlessly without saying anything, he felt even more uneasy and quickly apologized again.
"I am so sorry, please forgive me, Your Excellency. I am willing to make up for my mistake!"
Sol held his chin and said, "Then write an IOU."
Wright: “?”
"Just write that Light owes Sol 100 credits, stamp it with your name, and make two copies."
