Chapter 192 Spiritual Force Field
"Do you call this place the Sunny World?" Victor retracted his hand and couldn't help but press on the strings again. "This name is very ordinary. Maybe I can give it a more poetic name... How about yesterday's reappearance?"
As he spoke, Victor gently plucked the strings.
“Ding——”
Sol didn't understand music, but he thought that the high and low notes played together sounded quite nice.
He suddenly asked urgently: "Victor, did you find the treasure?"
Victor paused pressing his fingers on the strings. "Uh, well, no..."
Thor sighed, "The old wizard and the boy came in with us. Will they find the treasure before us?"
"No." Victor said firmly, "It doesn't matter if they find it first. I will help you get it back."
"That old man is a third-level apprentice."
Victor assured: "Don't worry, I will help you get the treasure back even if it costs my life."
Looking at Victor's expression, Thor got goosebumps all over his body.
"Let's split up so we can find it faster."
Unexpectedly, Victor disagreed this time.
"I've searched this floor and the one below, and there's nothing good."
Victor grabbed Thor's arm and pulled him up the stairs.
"Let's go upstairs and take a look."
Victor was so strong! Before Thor could react, he was pulled up the stairs and he couldn't resist at all.
"This guy may not only have the strength of a second-level apprentice. If we want to find out the secret of the diary, we must get rid of him."
Thor was thinking about how to get rid of Victor when he suddenly froze.
Seeing that Thor was standing there motionless, Victor walked up to him, pulled him over, and led him up the stairs.
Thor subconsciously wanted to resist, but then he relaxed his whole body and followed Victor.
His gaze kept shifting back and forth between the front of him and Victor's back, and his expression became increasingly calm.
Just as the two of them walked to the middle of the third and second floors, several figures appeared in front of them.
This group of people were dressed like capable mercenaries, but each one looked more disheveled than the other. They hunched over and looked upstairs curiously.
As if avoiding something.
Victor walked up a flight of stairs, and the soles of his shoes made a dull sound as they hit the carpeted stone steps.
Several mercenaries upstairs, like frightened birds, immediately turned around and stared over with wide eyes.
I thought they would be relieved when they found out that there were two men coming up, but unexpectedly their expressions suddenly became more ferocious, and their fear was about to turn into juice and flow down.
“Ahh—”
They rushed upward in a swarm, as if Thor and Victor were some kind of monster.
In just a blink of an eye, the four or five people who were originally on the stairs ran away.
Thor and the other man stood where they were.
Thor looked at Victor suspiciously, "What did you do to them?"
Victor raised his harp to shield his face. "I didn't see them at all when I came down."
Thor recalled the actions and expressions of those people, and suddenly turned around to look downstairs.
Victor stood beside Thor, following him with his eyes.
There was no one on the stairs, but Thor ran down a few steps as if he had seen something.
Then he turned around and looked up again.
"What are you doing?" Victor asked curiously.
Thor stood still, and after a few seconds he said slowly: "No wonder... those people saw neither me nor you."
Victor was stunned when he heard this, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Thor changed slightly.
Thor continued, "Their sight just now was actually focused on this place."
He raised his hand and pointed at the ground. "In other words, what they are really afraid of is not us, but the person who just appeared here... or the monster."
"But we just walked up from there." Victor turned around, holding the railing with one hand and holding the harp with the other.
"I used to think that the change between rainy and sunny days was because we traveled through different timelines, so we could meet people who appeared here in the past. But as a declining family with only the first-level official wizard at the highest, it is still too difficult to play the time travel joke."
Victor's smiling expression gradually disappeared. He raised his hand and hooked his fingers on the strings, as if he would pluck them at any time.
"What's the reason?"
Thor looked at Victor, one hand supporting his chin, the other hand under his elbow, his eyes constantly wandering over the surrounding buildings.
"It's a spirit! Many people died here, but for some reason, the spirits of the dead did not dissipate, but gathered in this castle. Ordinary people's spirits are very weak, but because of their increasing numbers, coupled with some kind of influence, a spirit force field is formed that is enough to interfere with human consciousness."
The corners of Victor's mouth gradually rose, but this time his smile was a little weird, "Some kind of influence... That must be the treasure we are looking for."
He held out his hand to Thor, "Come on, my clever brother, I think the treasure you are looking for is waiting for us up there. If you have that treasure, you can be promoted to level three smoothly, and you can also become a powerful official wizard!"
Thor stared at the other person without moving his feet. "But there is still one thing I haven't figured out."
"It's better to just do it than to just think about it. If we waste any more time, the old man and the little boy might find the treasure first." Victor slid his fingers on the strings of the harp. "The most important places in a castle like this are the owner's room and the secret room, especially the secret room. We need to search carefully, and we may not have much time."
"No, blindly searching is a waste of time." Thor said with certainty. He even closed his eyes and began to recall everything he saw when he entered the castle.
Enter the castle.
Heavy rain fell.
I saw the kneeling knight and the faceless man.
The old wizard and his apprentice come in and say there is something wrong with the heavy rain.
Thor and Victor enter the Sunny World as they head to the next room.
Thor returned to the front hall alone and saw Olaf, David and others who had just come in half a month ago.
When they were about to take Olaf and David away, the two disappeared, but the holy oil they gave to Thor remained.
See Victor coming down from upstairs.
Go to the opinion room on the second floor, enter the sunny world, and meet the three mercenaries.
When the mercenaries fled, they all disappeared, leaving behind only a foot that was bitten off by something.
Continue exploring in the sunny world and see Victor coming down from upstairs again in the stairwell.
The two appeared together in the sunny world.
When I went upstairs, I saw more mercenaries, who were dressed differently from the previous three.
But the fear is consistent.
"I always thought they were afraid of me and attacked me." Thor slowly opened his eyes, "but except for Olaf and David, no one else even said a word to me."
Is it that they don't want to communicate with Thor who suddenly appears, or in the eyes of the mercenaries who have entered the castle in the past, those who appear at the door and on the stairs are enemies with whom they cannot communicate?
"So, I thought I met the dead from the past, but in fact I only saw the scenes of their life, or the last moment of their death."
So the figure who jumped out of the window disappeared in an instant, and the person hiding under the bed was also swallowed by something, leaving only one foot outside, and then... bitten off! Go out with your family, Chapter 2 is at night.
