Chapter 297: Infernal Affairs
After Cadis answered a few questions that disappointed Thor, his white ink had changed from its original light white to almost gray, and the font was so thin that it was intermittent.
Seeing that Thor was dissatisfied with Cadis's answer, Herman immediately jumped out.
The diary turned two pages forward.
Herman: [Master, I know more about the Lost Soul Flower.]
"Tell me." Thor was too lazy to ask one by one.
[When the seeds of the Lost Soul Flower leave a mark in the spiritual body of a person or other creature, this mark can be gradually strengthened through deliberate cultivation, thereby achieving control over the host. Although it will not change a person's memory as the owner said, it can make a person unconscious for a short period of time, or exert a strong influence at a critical moment to make a person do something. However, the content of this action needs to be engraved in the seed before the mark is planted. Cultivation only makes this influence stronger. ]
"It's like mental suggestion." Thor nodded, his frown loosening a little bit, "It can influence people's subconsciousness to make them do something. It seems that I am just a tool that Land Boat wants."
As a quasi-third-level apprentice, Thor was not disappointed.
He would need to be nervous if everyone treated him, a third-level apprentice, as a formal wizard.
[In addition, there is another use for the mark, which is mark explosion. Directly detonating it in the spirit body of the marked person can also cause great damage. ]
"Short-term control, instant control and detonation... This Soul-Loss Flower is indeed very powerful and has comprehensive functions. No wonder it has become the treasure at the bottom of the land boat. If it weren't for the scarcity of seeds, the land boat would definitely be larger than it is now."
At this time, Agu ran out again.
Agu: [Master, this Lost Soul Flower may seem powerful, but it actually has many limitations. It is even less useful to a formal wizard. If you want to slightly control the actions of a formal wizard, you either have to use the main flower of the Lost Soul Flower or cultivate it for a long time. What's more, the master's diary can swallow it up the moment it finds the mark. Even if other formal wizards are not as powerful as the master, they must have other means to remove the mark.]
"That's right. This mark is not very concealed. As long as one's mental strength reaches the official wizard level, it is still easy to find. Unless the third person that Cadis mentioned has a way to eliminate the mark's presence, it will still alert me and report it to the tower master."
If Thor had not bound the diary as his locator before entering the Black Castle, he would probably not have been able to discover the existence of the mark immediately. By the time a third person took over, as long as he was not immediately in danger of death, he might really be controlled without knowing it.
If he returned to the wizard tower with the mark and made some moves at a critical moment, causing huge losses to the tower owner...
Thor didn't think Gorsa would forgive him.
Those who plotted against him knew that he was very powerful, so they sent a third-level apprentice to ambush him, and also used the slender ghost shadow sent in by Wizard Bri so as not to alert the Devil Ivy.
This person has some knowledge of Thor and is also familiar with Black Castle.
"The more I think about it, the more suspicious Mrs. Yula seems!" Thor crossed his arms and tapped his arms with his index fingers.
The devil vine beside it thought it was very strange that Thor had been standing there with a changing expression after he came in and asked it two questions. However, it was almost hollowed out by the algae and did not dare to say anything.
"If I am marked, then in order to ensure that the effect of the Lost Soul Flower seeds on me can last, or to force me to take certain actions at critical moments, the person who maintains the mark must be able to contact me frequently... This person must be someone from the Wizard Tower!"
Thor stood up straight, his eyes rolling around.
"Wait a minute, maybe I can..."
He quickly turned the diary to the page about Caddis again, "Caddis, before and after you attacked me, did you communicate with anyone about the situation and results of our battle?"
[No, not at all.]
You can tell from Caddis's handwriting how weak he is.
"That is to say, you failed to complete the mark. Now only you and I know about it."
【……Yes.】
Thor's mouth curled up slightly.
"Infernal Affairs experiment, first step, can I simulate the imprint?"
The diary in the spiritual body suddenly spit out a dull mark.
Thor recognized it at a glance; it was the mark that the Soul-Loss Flower seed had left in his spiritual body.
Thor immediately activated it through his mental power and easily made it flash.
"Very good, the mark is there, it's genuine, no deception. I wanted to use my mental power to simulate one. I didn't expect the diary to help me do it so easily. So, can the diary interpret what information is placed in the mark?"
Unfortunately, there was no feedback from the diary this time.
Thor was not discouraged, he clapped his hands lightly.
"Anyway, the mark has been made." He looked at the diary in his spirit body again. "So, Cadis, what kind of mark did your mentor ask you to leave at the entrance of Black Castle Forest?"
After Cadis answered Thor's last question, the handwriting, which was so faint that it was difficult to distinguish, finally stopped.
The black page in Chapter 5 shattered and disappeared in Thor's spiritual body, and no one knew where the fragments went.
"Devil Ivy, can you check if there is anyone following us near the entrance of Black Castle Forest?"
[I can't get information from places too far away.]
"Really?" Thor smacked his lips. "Then I'll do it."
He stepped forward and was about to put his hand on the devil vine.
[Wait, wait, Master Thor! I'll try my best. No no, I'm sure I can see it!!!]
Thor's hand stopped one centimeter away from the main root of the devil's vine.
Although he was threatening the devil vine, he was actually secretly relieved that he didn't have to communicate with the plant again.
"This concerns my safety from now on, please check carefully."
[Okay, okay.]
Ten minutes later, at the entrance of Black Castle Forest.
A staggering figure covered in blood came near the forest. He almost fell when he got close to the entrance. He supported the tree trunk with one hand, leaving a blood-stained tender green branch on it. He turned and walked in another direction, re-entered the woods and disappeared into the darkness.
About an hour later, a team of soldiers patrolling the border passed by Black Castle Forest and were about to return to Mobei City.
At this time, a knight in the lead suddenly noticed a little blood on a tree trunk on the side of the road.
"Go and take a look." He pointed at a soldier casually.
The selected soldiers were somewhat reluctant, as ordinary people like them were unwilling to deal with the forces of the Wizard Tower.
Not only will you never be able to establish a relationship with them, it's also very easy to leave and never come back.
But this time the soldier was lucky. He went over, tiptoed to take a look, stretched his neck very long, and did not get too close.
When he saw it clearly, he ran back in a flash.
"Sir, there is a broken bloody handprint on the tree trunk, and some branches and leaves are broken on the ground nearby, but judging by the footprints on the ground, they probably didn't leave the forest in the end. There is also a small amount of blood on the ground."
The soldier reported seriously, but did not notice that the knight was just looking at his collar.
There fell a blood-stained green sprout.
"…Sir, do I need to report this?"
"No need." The knight pulled the reins and let the horse move forward slowly. "It looks like another ordinary person who accidentally entered the Black Castle Forest. People who break the rules like this deserve to die."
