Chapter 291 Infiltration
Thor didn't know if his guess was correct.
Logically speaking, the Principality of Kerma and the Wizard Tower are allies and should not plot against Thor.
But sometimes the relationship between allies can be unimaginably complicated.
Thor packed up his important things, but did not clean the entire lab.
He deliberately left traces of use, and then sat quietly at the laboratory table, as if studying witchcraft.
But before he sat down, he casually supported the wall, leaving a tiny, inconspicuous crack there.
From day till late at night.
The Black Castle did not have the habit of keeping candles lit from morning till night like the Wizard Tower.
In fact, in order to save lamp oil, or just for convenience, there are not many lighting equipment here.
At night, the Black Castle was as dark as its name suggests. The silhouettes under the moonlight were reflected on the treetops, making the civilians who occasionally looked up think they were seeing things.
In the equally dark warehouse, a grayish-white hemisphere suddenly emerged from the bottom of a huge wooden box that had not been completely disassembled.
The solid wooden box did not pose any obstacle to it. It grew longer and stretched little by little, revealing a pair of eyes in the hemispherical shape.
It turned out that this was not a ball, but a hairless head.
Its pupils are extremely small, the whites of its eyes take up most of the eyeball, and its color can almost blend in with the skin.
At first glance, it seems that the entire head has only two black bean-like pupils as its eyeballs.
It slowly emerged from the gap at the bottom of the box, revealing its nose, mouth and chin, followed by its long neck.
It's always the neck.
No body.
Its tiny pupils swayed from side to side, observing the entire room in the dark.
Then it set its sights on the door.
The neck continued to stretch, pushing the bald head towards the warehouse door.
The gap in the door was small, but it couldn't prevent a head from coming out.
He left the warehouse easily and looked around.
The warehouse is at the end of the first floor of the Black Castle, and a circular corridor appears in front of us.
The head looked around, then opened its mouth wide, and a grayish-white tongue the same color as its skin emerged from between its toothless lips.
The tongue was very thin, but the tip was a ball. After leaving the lips, the tongue swelled and became larger, especially the tip of the tongue, which was as big as a human head.
The tip suddenly cracked into two pieces, revealing a pair of eyes with very small pupils.
Then, a third crack appeared at the tip, located below the eyes, like a mouth.
The mouth also opened, and a thin, rounded tongue stretched out. After the tongue came out of the mouth, it also grew eyes and a mouth.
At this time, the first head stuck out a second tongue, followed by the third, the fourth...
Each tongue will grow eyes and a mouth, and then the next tongue will extend from the mouth.
Countless heads split off and began to move deeper into the corridor.
They continued to stretch along the ground and walls, their tiny black pupils trembling slightly, with extreme excitement, but without making any sound.
Soon these heads covered the entire corridor and gradually came to the lobby on the first floor.
The front hall, where no guests were visiting, was also dark. The gorgeous chandeliers and exquisite wallpapers seemed to have changed their theme under the dim moonlight.
The first head came to the antechamber and explored forward, but it suddenly found that it could not move forward.
Its pupils trembled and moved to the corners of its eyes, and it saw a black vine that had wrapped around it.
"Devil... ghost... vine..."
The grinning mouth finally uttered the first word.
Then, ignoring the entanglement of the vines, it simply extended its tongue again and released the next head.
In this way, every head that was entangled by the devil vine did not resist and allowed the devil vine to entangle it tightly.
But they released the next tongue before the devil vine could seal their mouths, and continued to move forward and explore the entire black castle.
The devil vine did not resist, perhaps mistaking these strange long-necked human heads for snakes, insects, rats and ants sneaking in from the woods, and did not issue any warning to its temporary owner.
In the laboratory on the third floor of the Black Castle, Thor was writing furiously.
Suddenly, his movements paused for a moment. "We encountered an unknown invasion, but no warning was issued?"
He tilted his head and whispered, "The enemy came prepared. In one encounter, they broke through Black Castle's most sensitive enemy detection method. So Black Castle's other defensive capabilities may not be reliable."
If Thor's control over the devil vine was not far beyond the temporary master's perception, he would probably not be able to detect it if someone came to his door.
But now...
"If I fight my way out, can I defeat the enemies lurking in the shadows?"
The diary in my mind slowly unfolds.
[New Moon Year 316, September 5th, a bad visitor knocks on your door, and the enthusiastic host wants to keep him forever.
The guest presented a bouquet of flowers.
The host cooked fresh seafood.
You come and I go,
You invite guests to stay forever,
Unfortunately, you missed the second guest because of this. 】
Seeing the contents of the diary, Thor was stunned for a moment.
He just deliberately gave Diary his own ideas on how to deal with the enemy, wanting Diary to judge whether he would be in danger of death.
When the diary appeared just now, he thought he was no match for the intruder and might die at the hands of the other party.
This prediction really surprised him. After all, Thor believed that someone who needed to sneak attack him could not be a formal wizard, and he was not afraid of an ordinary third-level apprentice.
But when he saw that the content of the diary did not end in death, he was even more surprised.
As the diary said, he did defeat the enemy. But this also means that the diary's warning is no longer limited to death!
He merely subdued the first guest and frightened the second one, causing him to not dare to enter.
"The diary's warnings have been upgraded? From now on, it will no longer only issue warnings when there is a death crisis?"
In order to prove his idea, Thor immediately changed his thinking.
"What if I hide?"
A few lines of text appeared in the diary again.
Still not a death warning.
"Sure enough..." Thor smiled. "This is the first warning after the diary became a locator, so I didn't realize until now that the way to trigger the warning has changed."
As Sol's connection with the diary deepens, the diary also brings more feedback to Sol.
"If I follow the diary's inertia, I might miss the second guest. This will have a negative impact on me in the future. I still have to find a way to catch him."
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Just then, there was a knock on the laboratory door.
Thor glanced at the door and saw some shadow moving and trembling slightly in the crack of the door.
"An unexpected guest has arrived."
Thor smiled slightly, ignored the knock on the door late at night, turned his head, raised his left hand to put the hood of his cloak on his head, and continued writing.
“Swish, swish, swish…”
The room was very quiet, with only the sound of the pen tip rubbing against paper.
Outside the door, the visitor knocked gently on the door with his forehead. Every three knocks, he would pause for a moment, grinning and waiting for the owner to open the door.
Around the door, on the ground, walls, and ceiling, there were dozens of heads that looked exactly like the visitor, sticking to the cracks in the door with the same expectant look on their faces.
They pushed and shoved each other, and crowded into the crack of the door. Their big eyes with black pupils on a white background tried hard to look into the house. Through the gap, they vaguely saw a figure covered in a cloak with his back to the crowd.
Their eyes kept trembling as they waited with extreme excitement.
Waiting for the homeowners to open the door for them.
I'm sorry, I've been going to the hospital these two days and I really don't have any drafts saved, so I can only post it now. I'll try to return to normal time tomorrow.
