Chapter 184 Temporary Positioning Device
Without worrying about Kong Sha who left the East Tower later than eight o'clock, Thor was very curious about the relationship between Haywood and Kong Sha after hearing the conversation between them.
One of them is the mysterious level three who is in charge of the first warehouse, and the other is the most powerful level two.
But from what Haywood said, the two of them and Ivan were all discarded pawns.
Thor gripped the cart's handle tightly, watching the genie whispering steadily in the bottle, wondering what Kong Sha heard inside.
On the way back, the tree branches once again showed their influence on blurring people's perception of time. When Sol put the bottle back on the shelf, he thought more than ten minutes had passed, but when he looked back at the hourglass on the wall, he realized that only three minutes had passed.
He returned to the long table and silently counted the time in his mind. When he looked up after what he thought was a minute, only 30 seconds had passed.
"After putting the Whisper of the Spirit back, I still have problems with my perception of time. However, this cognitive confusion seems to recover slowly, and meditation can greatly speed up the recovery."
It took Thor about an hour to fully adjust his cognition.
This made him look at the shelves with lingering fear.
"I was just moving bottles and transporting carts, but my perception of time became blurred. I don't know what price Kong Sha paid for the listening ritual. But she didn't seem to be affected much except for her depression. Was it because of the locator, or did she have other ways to eliminate the impact?"
Although there was no danger this time, this subtle influence on consciousness was also dangerous. If the influence of the elves' whispers on consciousness increased, it might directly drive people crazy in an endlessly stretched timeline.
It is now 9:30 in the evening. It is not time to rest yet, and it is not time to let down your guard yet.
Sol took out the two positioning device plans that Kong Sha gave him, and after confirming with the diary that there were no major problems, he began to look through them.
After several days of research, he believed that both the soul leaving the body and the dissolution of his own body were related to the abnormality of the spiritual body.
The cause of this anomaly has not yet been determined, but Thor found a solution in the study on the 18th floor.
Although it is still just a conjecture, unlike other wizards and apprentices, Thor can verify the conjecture by basically thinking, without such a large sunk cost.
Since he has entered the second level, Thor, in addition to learning basic knowledge, witchcraft, and writing, is also studying the locator.
I don’t know if the tower master saw that there was something wrong with Thor’s body, so he brought him to the library on the 18th floor.
In short, Thor read a lot of books that were helpful to his current situation.
There were also some knowledge and incomplete plans about the locator. Combined with the two complete plans he had just received from Kong Sha, Thor could completely start researching the locator.
But unlike others, Thor's locator has actually been with him for a long time. It is his greatest reliance at present, the Diary of the Dead Wizard.
However, as powerful as the diary is, it has a well-known flaw, which is that Thor cannot control the diary.
Except when communicating with the consciousness in the black pages of the diary, the diary will run out and float back according to his words, and at other times the diary will not respond to Thor's requests.
The most important thing is that Thor has not yet found a way to connect his spirit body and the diary.
He wasn't even sure where the diary existed in his body and soul.
Therefore, the locator experiment was not as smooth as Thor initially thought.
"There's no rush for this. If a Level 2 apprentice wants to advance to Level 3, in addition to having to meet the physical and spiritual quality standards, he or she also needs to select and fuse a locator. Even a Level 2 apprentice as powerful as Kong Sha seems to have been stuck at the step of fusing a locator for many years."
"But at the end of May, I will leave the tower to go on Lord Gorza's mission. If I suddenly leave my body at that time, it will be too dangerous."
Although Thor can now return to his body in just six steps, if he gets into a fight with an enemy, the other party will not give him even half a second to recover.
To this end, Thor came up with a temporary plan to stabilize his spirit.
That is a temporary locator.
Temporary locators are also rare among senior apprentices and are very valuable.
It is equivalent to a supplement to the wizard's own locator. With a temporary locator, there is a double protection for the wizard's spirit and consciousness. It is like holding a riot shield outside the explosion-proof suit.
Although the protection strength and scope are limited, it can still play a certain protective role.
When the spiritual body is shaken or contaminated, it can further help the master recover.
Having made up his mind, Thor took out the doll that he had rented but not paid for from Mentor Kaz's laboratory.
After thinking for a while, he placed another red candle on the table.
He looked left and right, and the countless basic knowledge and formulas he had seen in the past two days swirled in his mind. Then Thor buried his head in writing various runes on paper.
As he wrote and calculated, more and more material was brought to the table by Sol.
The yellowed papers were filled up day by day, with more and more complicated witchcraft arrays and formulas for making witchcraft props appearing on them.
As the formula took shape, Thor began to imagine in his mind the scenario of himself using the makeshift locator he had designed.
Then the diary would come out again and again without getting tired of pouring cold water on Thor...or lava.
More and more papers filled with words piled up in a corner of the table. After gradually forming a small hill, they collapsed to the ground with a loud bang.
And Thor is still looking for the optimal solution for the temporary locator.
…
A few days later, they were at a place separated from the wizard tower by a small town.
Dark clouds gathered above the small town of Sampo, strong winds howled from time to time, and heavy rain seemed to be coming at any time.
Thor was sitting in an ordinary one-passenger carriage without any wizard tower markings.
He was wearing an ordinary coarse cloth shirt, a leather breastplate on his upper body, and a pair of leather gloves on his arms, which were most likely to attract attention.
He now looked more like a mercenary than a wizard's apprentice.
It's just a little small.
This mission was very special. Firstly, it was ordered by the tower master Gorsa himself, who reminded Thor twice that it might be dangerous; secondly, Thor also had his own special purpose.
After entering the town, the carriage slowed down.
Thor tilted his head and observed the scene outside through the car curtains that were constantly blown up by the strong wind.
I don’t know if it’s because of the coming rainstorm, but the streets of the town seem extremely deserted.
At this moment, the driver who was driving the carriage outside suddenly turned around and shouted, "Master, the road ahead is blocked."
This coachman was the same one who took Thor to Blackburg Forest last time.
When Thor went directly to the Wizard Tower from Chuishou Valley, the coachman who got the news also rushed back a few days later.
When he heard that it was Thor who needed the car, he immediately volunteered to help. When he left the wasteland around the wizard tower, he carefully addressed Thor as "Master".
Carefully and implicitly expressed gratitude to Thor.
Thor pushed open the car door and a gust of wind blew, forcing him to squint.
A path ahead was filled with wooden fences and sandbags, with a sign hanging on the fence that trembled in the wind, with the words "Danger, Keep Out!" written on it in Common.
"Is there any other road to our destination?" Thor opened his mouth and his voice clearly reached the driver's ears.
The driver was about to answer when his hat was blown away by a gust of wind, revealing a small mushroom the size of a thumb on his head.
The little mushroom was trembling violently under the ravages of the strong wind, and it seemed that it would be blown away in the next second.
Thor raised his hand, grabbed the driver's hat and put it back on his head.
"Thank you, young master!" The driver, who had no ability to communicate, could only raise his voice in the strong wind. "There is no other way. The manor we are going to is at the end of this road, at the southernmost end of this town."
