Chapter 221: Haywood and Heidi
Haywood's expression changed slightly, "Let's talk about this matter when we get back to the warehouse."
Thor really wanted to return to the warehouse. The painful experience tonight made him miss the sense of security of his soul staying in the body.
Sure enough, just as the tower master said, the soul leaving the body was not a good thing for him.
But wouldn't there be other accidents if I went with Heywood? The diary did not appear.
"Diary brother, you are not broken, are you?" Thor communicated with the diary in his heart.
The journal flipped over, pointing the book toward Thor.
"Very good, it's not bad, that means Heywood doesn't plan to attack me yet." The candlelight illuminated the road in front of Thor, making him more confident. "If Heywood really wants to attack me, maybe I can take the initiative to get into the candle pipe and escape."
I don’t know if it was because it sensed Thor’s burning gaze, but the candle flame that had been burning steadily suddenly shook.
This also made Heywood look over in confusion.
"How much did you just see?" Thor suddenly asked, drawing Haywood's attention.
The other party smiled and said, "When you came out of Professor Kaz's laboratory."
He knew he couldn't hide it from Thor, so he just told him the truth, "The soul of that servant named George has changed. If you hadn't protected him, I believe he would have appeared on an apprentice's laboratory table tomorrow."
Saul frowned slightly. He knew that he could protect George for a while, but not for a lifetime.
What's more, he didn't intend to protect the other person forever.
The reason he took action this time was, firstly, that he thought George could help him, and secondly, George's appearance made Thor recall the past, and the stimulation of old memories happened to help him stabilize his consciousness.
So he offers George a chance to become a wizard's apprentice.
In fact, this is George's only chance to survive temporarily.
If he gave up becoming a wizard apprentice, within a year, the weak mental resistance of an ordinary person would drive him crazy because of the extra head in his brain.
Haywood looked at Thor who was thinking, and suddenly said, "Of course, since you asked, I will help you arrange it so that he can think about it slowly until he becomes an apprentice or dies."
He took two steps forward and said, "For someone like us, it would only take a word to secure a small servant and allow him to enter the wizarding world."
Hearing this, Thor suddenly smiled brightly, "Thank you so much, you are so kind, Senior!"
Haywood paused. For some reason, looking at Thor with a smile on his face made him more alert than looking at Thor with a gloomy face just now.
Afterwards, under the escort of Heywood, Thor returned to the first floor of the East Tower.
When they arrived at the bronze door, Heywood took the initiative to push the door open without Thor's explanation.
At this time, the terrifying slender arms were no longer visible outside the gate, but Thor remained extremely vigilant as he walked through the single door pushed open by Heywood.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterwards. He returned to the second warehouse and re-entered his body.
However, when passing through the horde of corpses, his spirit would occasionally get stuck to a corpse, and he would have to struggle hard to break free before he could continue moving forward.
Thor's body was still lying on the single bed, without any abnormality.
This also put Thor, who was a little worried, at ease.
When he pushed open the door again and walked out of the second warehouse, he saw Haywood still waiting outside.
"Now, senior," Thor, who had returned to his body and looked much more stable, said with a smile, "Can you tell me how you discovered that my soul was out of my body? After all, I have to report on the bizarre experience last night."
Heywood suddenly sighed, "This matter... is indeed related to me."
He suddenly pulled down his hood and turned his head to let Thor see the back of his head.
There used to be an ugly witch's face on the back of Heywood's head, but now there was only bare, scarred skin.
"I never had the chance to introduce her to you before," Heywood turned around again and put on his hood, "The woman's name is Heidi. She is a curse I made using my own sister."
Thor blinked.
Sister?
"My parents are both third-level wizard apprentices." Heywood also introduced himself, "They both did a lot of transformations that had a great impact on themselves but were not suitable for their wizard bodies. Therefore, after being promoted to the third level, it was almost impossible for them to become formal wizards."
Haywood also gave Thor some advice, "So before you become a formal wizard, I don't recommend that you modify your vital organs."
After hearing this suggestion, Sol suddenly thought of Kong Sha.
The organs that the senior sister had transformed were no longer important organs, they were fatal organs! Heywood continued: "They tried every possible way to give birth to offspring. In the end, an accident still happened when my sister and I were born."
"Our mother mutated on the day of giving birth, and my father had no choice but to kill her in order to save my sister and me. But my sister was still affected and turned into a monster with a normal head but a body the size of a little finger."
When talking about his mother's death and his sister's changes, Haywood remained calm.
"Later, my sister was kept in a bottle, and I carried her on my back every day to study, live, and play... until I was six years old, when my father decided to make us into a twin spell to prolong his life."
Thor also listened with a blank expression and was not surprised at all by what happened next. There is no normal wizard among them.
He even felt that Heywood's parents gave birth to them just to continue their own lineage, and there was never any love child.
But he was curious about how a six-year-old boy like Haywood could escape the murderous intent of a third-level wizard apprentice.
Seeing this, Heywood smiled and continued, "Fortunately, my father never stopped my sister and I from going out, so many people knew about our situation. When I was six years old, the tower master came to our house and wanted to take me in."
"My father disagreed at first, but later he acquiesced."
Thor sneered. Could it be the kind of tacit consent that the dead cannot speak?
At this moment, Heywood's expression suddenly changed slightly, as if tainted with guilt and sadness.
"It's a pity that I have disappointed my mentor."
He quickly ended the unpleasant topic and put on a smiling face again.
"It was only after entering the wizard tower that I transplanted my sister from the bottle to the skin on the back of her head. Because I have been taking care of Heidi for so many years, she is a little willful." Heywood finally got to the point of last night, "But I didn't expect that she would foolishly think that as long as you die, the silver eye will be hers."
"In other words, it was her fault that my soul left my body and went to the lower level unconsciously this time? How did she do it?" Thor asked in a deep voice.
The second warehouse where Thor is located is not open to anyone. It is the place where important materials of the wizard tower are stored!
"Including the basement, the Gorza Wizard Tower has a total of 22 floors. But that's for ordinary people, or ordinary wizard apprentices. In fact, the wizard tower also has a mezzanine."
Mezzanine?
Thor immediately thought of those densely packed eyes, the thin arms like noodles, and the big mouths that only knew how to cry out for hunger.
These monsters seem to live in the mezzanine.
"There is a mezzanine between the first warehouse and the second warehouse, and the corridor we are in now is the only passage."
He was silent for a moment.
"She knew your spirit was unstable, so she took the risk of passing through the mezzanine and came to your side. I think she might want to pull your soul into the mezzanine so that you would die unclearly. But now the result is that you suddenly ran out of the passage in the basement, but Heidi didn't come back."
Thor: Then I'm going to laugh three times.
