Chapter 232 The Story of the Elves
The whole clan was contaminated at the same time?
Thor suddenly felt a chill and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
But that was impossible, his skin had been transformed and was tough and dull, so it was impossible for him to get goose bumps.
"Do all the elves live together? Is it true that no one escaped?"
"This is the scary part," Gorza said seriously. "Elves like to live together, but their territories are also scattered across the continents, and some of them travel outside. The elves are also divided into daylight elves, night elves, and water elves in the ocean."
"But no matter what kind of elves they were, whether they were hunting among the tribe, communicating and doing business with wizards, or fighting with the dwarves... they all disappeared at the same time, in an instant!"
The entire clan, regardless of spatial distance or blood relationship, just disappeared?
Thor felt the goosebumps transfer to his cerebral cortex.
What kind of power is this, what level is this? How can it target so many beings at the same time, leaving no one behind? What if one day this power chooses the human race again?
The more I think about it, the more afraid I become.
He clenched his fists, afraid that the trembling in his hands would be too obvious.
"What if...what if...what if one day, this force chooses...a person?" Thor said this hesitantly.
A powerful tribe of elves whose mental power in childhood was comparable to that of official wizards would disappear without any warning.
This made Thor worry about his own future and the future of the wizarding world.
Will they also be collectively contaminated one day and disappear?
It's like a search and replace in a document, select all, and replace! There is no warning, no defense, and I don't even know why.
This completely irresistible force even made Thor doubt his efforts.
Is it worth it? Working so hard?
Is it worth it? To sleep only once or twice a month and spend all my time studying, researching, and adventuring? Is it worth it? To change my body and soul just to become stronger? Is it worth it? To become an unknown beast in the next journey of seeking knowledge? Thor let out a long breath.
He felt so powerless and insignificant that his back bent unconsciously.
Golsa sat opposite Sol and looked at each other quietly.
He knew that Thor was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle, but he did not intervene.
The disappearance of the elves is indeed terrifying when you think about it.
But what’s even more terrifying is that the disappearance of elves is just one of the world’s great horrors.
If Thor cannot get out of it on his own, even if he says something to temporarily calm Thor down, it will create deep hidden dangers in Thor's mind that may erupt again at any time.
When that time comes, Golsa... won't save him.
Cognitive problems are difficult to change.
At this time, Thor exhaled again, bent down and buried his face in his palms.
He didn't want to see anyone or any scene at this moment.
Because no matter what he saw, he could only think of the powerlessness of everything disappearing.
But sometimes the human brain is like this. The more you don’t want to see something, the more related images will appear in your mind.
In the darkness, he saw Sid and Brown who were already dead, saw Rum the mentor who hid himself in the shadows, saw Angela who cried while hugging her knees and could turn her servants into dead flowers with the turn of her head, saw Nick who always suppressed his emotional fluctuations but occasionally broke down and cried and laughed, saw Byron who emphasized equal exchange again and again but came back to save him in times of crisis, saw the arrogant but straightforward little genius Keli, saw the sexy, mysterious, powerful and terrifying Kong Sha...
He looked at these figures struggling in the wizarding world, gradually turning into blank areas, with nothing left to prove their existence.
Finally, Thor thought about himself and his past life.
Thinking of myself who was exhausted every day, going to work at dusk and leaving work at dusk, seemingly fulfilled, but it seemed that nothing had changed! Thor's shoulders began to tremble, and a vague whimpering sound came out from between his fingers.
Looking at Thor like this, Gorza narrowed his eyes. He moved his fingertips, as if he was hesitating, if Thor really collapsed, should he take action?
Save people, or kill people.
Just when Gorsa hesitated, Thor suddenly sat up straight again, put down his hands, and there was no trace of tears on his face. Instead, he was smiling.
"I'm sorry, sir. I got stuck in a rut just now. I'm fine now. Please continue."
Thor's face was filled with a relaxed smile, and there was no sign that he was almost on the verge of collapse.
He was indeed frightened by that powerful and unrivaled mysterious and terrifying force.
But on second thought, in his peaceful past life, could his life be guaranteed? Sometimes he was still laughing and joking in the last second, and died in the next second due to an accident, illness or natural disaster.
Just as uncontrollable as unknown dangers is probability.
If he was really worried about the possibility of instant death of all mankind every day, he wouldn't have to wait until he traveled through time to go to the rooftop.
"Not bad." Gorsa narrowed his silver eyes, as if he was smiling, but also as if he was examining her.
He continued, "The reason why the elves are polluted is that after they disappeared, all the props made by the elves changed. Many people who have elf props said that they have fallen into some kind of illusion, especially when they are operating their spiritual bodies. It is easier to fall into illusions. The higher the level of the elf props, the more dangerous they are."
"Some kind of illusion?" The more Thor listened, the more he felt that it was very similar to Kismet's ability? But the tower master denied that Kismet was an elf... But Kismet was not an elf, and he might be related to the elves.
"People who have used elf products will hear some vague voices, and even say that they have seen elves appear in their lives. However, other people, apart from themselves, cannot find any traces of elves, whether with their naked eyes or mental power."
"And the degree of this influence will increase with the deepening of use, and they may even be unable to distinguish which side is reality. And the vast majority of people will be completely corrupted because of their belief in the existence of elves."
"After a third-level wizard was contaminated and went mad and massacred two small countries, the wizarding world launched a call to clean up the elf props. But you also know..." Gorza suddenly raised his hand, and a material on the shelf automatically flew towards the two of them.
Thor turned around and discovered that it was the Elf Whisper that Kongsha had secretly used before.
"The more taboo something is, the more desirable it is." Gorza said softly, "Whether it is the power of the elves or the mysterious power that makes them disappear suddenly, wizards yearn for it."
Gorsa's slender fingers twirled the bottle in his hand, but the liquid in the bottle did not cause the slightest ripple.
However, there have been some changes in the branches inside.
As Golsa's fingers turned, the only two green leaves left on the branch began to slowly turn yellow. The edges of the leaves even turned from yellow to brown, and began to dry and become brittle.
When Gorsa stops turning, the branches that were once full of life are about to wither.
"Have you ever used or used your mental power to contact the Whisper of the Spirits?"
Thor opened his mouth and finally nodded silently.
Gorsa was not angry. He had never been a rule-abiding person, otherwise he would not have left his family and appeared alone in the Western Continent.
"In the second warehouse, there is only this one item related to the elves. You see, although it is trying hard to disguise itself, it is actually about to run out of energy and die. You have just undergone the transformation of your witch body, which has a great impact on your spiritual body. This is also the moment when your soul is most vulnerable and most easily exposed. So rather than saying that you were influenced by Kismet to see the elves, it is better to say that you paid the price for your unauthorized use of elf items."
Golsa said, handing the bottle in his hand to Thor.
The moment Thor took the bottle, he suddenly heard the sound again.
"I'm going to die."
Thor looked up in surprise and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Gorza, "Don't tell others what you saw and heard. It will make you more certain that you have indeed established a connection with the elves. And the conscious admission is the most terrifying."
"…Because, no one can convince yourself except yourself." Gorza emphasized.
Thor quickly shut his mouth, looked down at the elf in his hand and whispered.
In just a few seconds, the leaves inside turned yellow again.
One of the pieces, under the gaze of Thor and Gorza, floated down into the solution below and dissolved instantly.
