Chapter 202: Who has more back-up plans?
Since the diary didn't give any warning, Ralph probably wouldn't be able to get out.
Thor turned his head and looked at the knight Olaf who was floating beside him in a daze.
The resentment on his face had disappeared, and he was stunned, like a idiot.
He looks a little sad.
Thor narrowed his eyes, mobilized his mental strength, and carefully scanned Olaf's spirit.
On Olaf's own face, another face appeared.
That face was exactly that of the butler Hunt, which was put on the knight's head like a mask.
And all the knight's pain and resentment came from the butler's face.
"Your form is quite special, even more powerful than many wizard apprentices I have seen. Are you really just a butler without magic power?" Thor asked curiously.
Hunter was startled at first, then he looked at me with a sinister look, "I underestimated you. You looked like just a wandering second-level apprentice. I didn't expect you to have so many good things."
There was still some sadness on his face. "I am indeed just an ordinary housekeeper... but my wisdom is much stronger than those wizards who only know how to eat people! If it weren't for my lack of magical talent, no wizard in the entire Bloodthorn family could compare to me! These idiots wasted so many resources that they couldn't even understand such a simple rune structure. If it weren't for my lack of magic power... If it weren't for my lack of magic power..."
Amidst his self-pity, the butler Hunt seemed to calm down a little. He stared at Thor with lifeless eyes.
"Boy, you win. You are a lucky guy. I failed to preserve the glory of the Bloodthorn family, and it fell into the hands of a grassroots like you. But you are smarter than I thought. Maybe the inheritance of the Bloodthorn family can be carried forward in your hands."
"Haha." Hunter laughed miserably, "Now, kill me."
Thor stared at Hunt in silence. He finally realized that Hunt had the same talent as himself. He was a person with excellent mental strength but poor magical aptitude.
Even worse than himself, not even qualified to enter the wizarding world.
My magical talent is not enough, so I must find a way to improve it before I can continue to study and advance.
The knowledge of wizards is not simple knowledge, it also carries a certain degree of radiation and pollution.
If Thor had not withstood the wizard body transformation and greatly improved his magic power, he would not have been able to continue learning more profound knowledge and would have been nothing more than a first-level apprentice for his entire life.
And as he learned later, a wizard apprentice who stayed at one stage for too long would sooner or later die from the erosion of the unknown.
This means that a first-level or second-level apprentice may be contaminated and turned into a monster at any time after the age of thirty.
Perhaps the butler Hunt in front of him knew this, which is why he finally stayed outside the door of the wizarding world.
I only dared to use those eager eyes to peek at the excitement and danger inside the door from time to time.
On the contrary, it was after his death, or after he was made into a witchcraft prop, that his excellent mental talent finally came in handy.
Not only did he help his master escape from Victor's conspiracy, he also almost plotted against Thor.
Thor still has a little respect for such people in his heart.
So he raised his hand, and several transparent worms emerged on his arm, one of which flew out and landed on Hunter's face.
Seeing death coming, Hunt's face showed a bit of fear, but there was also a hint of smile on the corner of his mouth.
"It's finally over. I can go and keep my master company."
However, when the transparent worm landed on Hunter's face, it did not immediately corrode his soul.
"Not really." Thor's lips suddenly curled up into a smile. He took out the blood-colored magic crystal from his arms and tossed it gently.
The knight's ghost, whose feet were still connected to the magic crystal, moved up and down involuntarily.
"First, let's talk about whether there are other traps in the magic crystal? For example, have you tampered with those scrolls?"
The butler, who had originally closed his eyes and was waiting to die, immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Thor, with a look of shock and fear on his face.
“You…you…”
"How do I know you did something? Well, maybe you watched too much TV before?"
Hunter didn't understand what Thor said, but he knew that his last trick had been cracked by the other party.
For a moment, I felt extremely depressed. I no longer had the vitality I had before, and my soul and body felt light and ethereal, as if it would collapse at any time.
"You're not going to tell me? That's right. With your stubbornness, I'm afraid you just want to die. But it doesn't matter. I still have some skills to interrogate souls. It's just right to kill time while waiting for Ralph to die completely."
Hunter's spirit trembled involuntarily, as if he had seen the most terrifying demon in the world.
Five minutes later.
The basement finally became quiet, with no more sound coming out, and Hunt's spirit completely disintegrated with a resentful spirit that would not rest in peace until death.
Without the support of Hunt's mental strength, Knight Olaf's vengeful spirit was destroyed almost instantly.
Before disappearing, the knight gave Thor a grateful glance.
This knight is quite unlucky. He has been exploited since he entered Ralph Manor, both before and after his death.
Therefore, ordinary people should not get involved in the struggles between wizards, otherwise they will suffer all kinds of torture even after death.
Before Hunter died, Saul originally wanted to tell him about Sid's affairs to make him angry.
But thinking that the manor was not safe yet, especially that Victor was unknown whether he was dead or not, he decided to keep the secret in his heart and not show off.
Using his two years of rich experience working in the morgue, Thor finally found out Hunt's back-up plan.
It turns out that the last third of all the scrolls in the magic crystal are messed up and need to be reinterpreted in a specific order, otherwise you will get specious erroneous information.
If Thor learns according to the wrong information, he will become like a person who has gone astray in practicing martial arts, and will eventually die or go crazy.
"The information we get should be correct. In the end, Hunter was left with only instinct and no longer had any rationality. What he said is very likely true. Of course, I also have the diary to verify its authenticity."
Thor smiled with satisfaction and put the blood magic crystal back into his arms.
"The inheritance of a wizard family... We made a fortune this time! But in the end, we still used up that rank 2 scroll." Thor raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat that rolled down his chin.
Both the battle in the basement and the subsequent interrogation were extremely exhausting.
Fortunately, Thor had strong mental strength. If it were any other ordinary second-level apprentice, he would have fainted long ago.
Of course, this victory not only relied on Thor's own abilities, but also on many external factors.
Before coming, the tower master reminded Thor that this mission would not be easy and might even be life-threatening.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Thor spent a huge amount of money to buy a killer weapon.
He had just been promoted to a Level 2 apprentice and lacked a powerful killer weapon that could kill with one strike - the Level 2 witchcraft scroll, the Flame Bead.
It was this powerful scroll that helped Thor inflict heavy damage on Ralph. It also allowed the antidote Thor sprinkled on him to take effect quickly. Otherwise, the witchcraft formation on the basement door, which could only last for an hour due to Morton's violent cracking, would probably not last until the human-faced worm was completely killed and would be damaged.
Therefore, it is better to prepare a powerful one than to buy multiple props.
Anyway, most props are not as useful as Xiaozao.
Thor squatted down and placed his hand on the formation of the basement door, but did not immediately use magic power to open the door.
He ran through the scenario in his mind.
Then, the diary reminded Thor: Although the insect was dying, it was still waiting for him to open its big mouth and swallow him into its hole-ridden stomach.
Thor frowned. There was not much time left before the magic circle on the basement door would fail. If Ralph was not completely dead before the magic circle failed, Thor would have to leave here first and come back to check when it was safe.
But he thought about it, looked at the words in the diary, and squatted down again.
Counting to 20 in his mind, Thor put his hand on the door again.
This time the diary told Thor: the bug was about to give up, and if he went down now, he would die with the bug.
He waited a few dozen seconds before trying for the third time.
This time, the diary finally did not remind him that he would die if he opened the door. Instead, it closed in boredom and flew back to Thor's left shoulder.
Ralph was finished, and no longer able to drag himself down with him.
Thor smiled and carefully used his magic power to unlock the seal of the basement door again.
Thank you for your reward
