Chapter 193 I fainted, I was pretending
Victor held his chin up like Thor, "In other words, what we have seen has always been an illusion. Before and after life, we keep meeting each other in the wheel of fate. It is really a sad and beautiful encounter."
Victor strolled up and down the steps of the staircase, gently rocking the harp, as if immersed in a musical poem of his own making.
"When our spiritual vibrations are in sync with the spirits here because of the spirit force field, we will see a sunny day. But when we lose sync, it will return to a rainy day. Hiss—"
Victor stopped, leaned against the handrail of the stairs, and suddenly leaned back, with his upper body stuck almost 90 degrees outside the stairs, looking at the spiraling stairs and the distant roof.
“I really like this kind of romantic story.”
He straightened his waist again, stood up effortlessly, turned his head to the right and looked at Thor, "But didn't you talk to the knights who disappeared for half a month? If you saw the scene in the past, how could you join in? Could it be that those knights also met the same wizard as you and said the same thing?"
"This is also where I was initially misled into thinking I traveled through time." Thor's eyes flashed back to the people he saw kneeling on the floor in the castle's antechamber. "I was indeed communicating with someone, so after being misled, I habitually thought that the mercenaries were afraid of me. The more I'm sure I've entered the world of the past, the deeper I'll get into it, unable to break free."
"That's right!" Victor suddenly clapped his hands. "If we can really see the past, we can follow their footsteps and perhaps find out the cause of their death. It must be related to the secret of this castle!"
Victor nodded his head towards the top of the stairs. "We have thought about this for a long time. Now we should go find the truth. Don't you want to know what happened to those mercenaries after they ran up there? Now that we understand the principle of the spirit force field, we are prepared and will not be easily affected, right?"
Thor quickly lowered his eyes and then raised them again, and breathed a sigh of relief somewhat abruptly.
"There's only one last question left. You have to figure it out before you can go upstairs."
"What?"
Thor took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and said, "Do you remember what the knight gave me? Why doesn't it disappear? I can't figure this out, and I don't dare to continue exploring. Who knows whether the next attack will be real or an illusion?"
Seeing that Thor refused to continue exploring, a hint of impatience flashed across Victor's face.
He glanced at what Thor was holding. "You mean this bottle of holy oil? Maybe you picked it up from the ground after seeing the hallucination. As long as we maintain the stability of our spiritual body, we won't..."
Thor suddenly burst out laughing, "Brother, didn't I tell you... that thing is called holy water?"
Victor narrowed his eyes.
Thor shook the small porcelain bottle in his hand, and the liquid inside made a dull gurgling sound.
"So you deliberately put this potion in my hand, right?"
Victor couldn't hold it in anymore. He lowered his head and laughed so hard that his shoulders were shaking.
“Hahaha, hahahaha…”
"Everyone who encounters a problem with a wizard will guess the most terrible thing. I'm not surprised that you can guess a little. But what I can't understand is that you only entered synchronization twice and you were able to discover the essence of time and space transformation. You even saw through my identity twice."
twice?
Thor was stunned, but before he could react, Victor suddenly plucked the harp in his hand that had been silent for a long time.
As the ethereal music sounded, Thor's eyes began to empty.
He seemed to be making his last struggle. His eyes kept trembling. Sometimes he looked at the man in front of him who was concentrating on playing the harp, and sometimes he stared at the air in front of him.
Victor's fingers brushed across the harp, finally pressing lightly on the strings.
The music stopped abruptly.
Victor raised his head and said with a complicated expression: "Well, it seems that my lovely brother has reached the age where he can tease his big brother. I really can't bear it."
"But the manor owner's good show is about to begin. As uninvited guests, we can't be absent at the end. So..."
Lightning and thunder cut through the darkness.
Without any warning, they "returned" to the rainy world again.
Victor was still standing on the stairs, and Thor was still standing a few meters below him.
Victor put away his complicated expression, smiled gently, loosened the strings, and stretched out his right hand towards Thor.
"My dear brother, do you remember why you came here?"
"To..." Thor answered dazedly, "to find something. To solve a problem."
Victor said "tsk tsk" twice, "You're still so tight-lipped."
"Then let's go find your precious things now. Do you remember the old wizard and the little boy just now?"
Thor nodded slowly.
"They have already passed by, but they are much more anxious than you! If you don't set off now, you will fall behind!"
Thor showed a bit of confusion on his face. He raised his hands and covered his cheeks helplessly. "But I seem to have forgotten something important."
"Bang!" A loud noise came from above their heads.
Victor and Thor looked up at the same time, and the voice seemed to bring some clarity back to Thor's eyes.
Seeing this, Victor quickly plucked the strings again.
Thor's eyes were confused again.
Victor played the piano and said quickly, "You naughty brother, look, the people up there have discovered your treasure. Come up quickly. If you don't go over, the things that originally belonged to you will be taken away by others."
Thor finally got what he wished for, showed an anxious look, and began to move forward, his pace gradually increasing.
His eyes passed over Victor as he headed towards the spiral staircase leading to the top floor.
The loud noise just now came from there.
Victor also frowned anxiously, "We may have to go faster, faster."
However, Victor's performance was only halfway through when Thor, who had run up to him, suddenly threw something at him, and at the same time, he exerted force with his left hand and jumped directly down the stairs.
Victor was shocked and just wanted to dodge, but he saw that thing exploded directly in mid-air.
Countless pieces of iron flew out, and many of them pierced Victor's body.
But he was totally unprepared, and before he could cast a spell, he chose to hold the harp in his arms and protect it with his body! Victor looked up and saw Thor falling to the first floor, his eyes full of surprise, "You managed to break free?"
There was also a wound on Victor's face, and blood dyed a few strands of silver hair red and dripped onto the ground.
Thor stood on the next floor, looking at Victor who was gradually turning into a bloody man, without answering.
The effect of Iron and Fire was not as satisfactory in open space, but Thor could not find a better opportunity to make it explode within Victor's close range.
Countless tiny black tentacles instantly stretched out from behind Thor's neck and attacked the bloody man on the stairs.
Victor's narrowed eyes revealed a hint of surprise, "Were you just performing?"
As he spoke, Victor's hands did not stop. He dodged and plucked the strings quickly.
Clear but passionate music sounded, and the air was faintly vibrating. Most of the black tentacles were cut into several pieces by the sound waves as soon as they approached Victor, and fell to the ground, twitching continuously.
But a few tentacles avoided the sonic attack and came in front of Victor.
Victor suddenly opened his mouth and let out a low growl.
Thor, who was standing far away, suddenly felt a buzzing in his ears, and his originally stable spirit body began to vibrate immediately.
The black tentacles of the small algae began to become soft uncontrollably, barely touching Victor's body, but unable to cause any more damage.
A few black tentacles fell on Victor's body due to inertia.
The latter just twisted his body slightly and threw off all the tentacles hanging on his body.
