Chapter 302 Reunion
A familiar and cheerful girl's voice came from outside the door, and Thor opened his eyes wide in surprise.
He removed the devil vine in front of the door and released his mental power.
There was indeed a man and a woman standing outside the door, and they did not resist Thor's mental scan.
After this exploration, Thor immediately opened the door of the Black Castle.
With the metallic reflection still on her face, Keli stood expressionlessly at the door.
The other person frowned and seemed to be thinking about what "old pair" meant.
"Kelly!"
"Senior Byron!"
Thor didn't expect that he would see both of them outside the tower at the same time.
"Why are you all here at the same time?" Thor looked at Byron first, "Could it be that the senior has come to take over the Black Castle?"
"It's me, it's me!" Keli raised her hand and waved it in front of Thor. "Senior Byron just happened to be looking for you again, so he came all the way with me."
"Yeah." Byron didn't open his mouth, but just nodded in cooperation.
Thor was a little surprised. He stepped aside to let the two friends who had traveled a long distance come in and rest.
The three of them walked side by side in the Black Castle. Thor asked Keli, "Aren't you only at level two? How can you take over the Black Castle?"
"Aren't you also level two?" Keli rolled her eyes, but she was just complaining out of habit. "I won't run around in Black Castle. I'm just here to study and experiment, and by the way, help pass messages between the Principality of Kerma and the Wizard Tower."
Thor stopped and frowned, clearly expressing his concerns. "The Black Castle is not safe. It would be better to let a third-level apprentice guard it."
Keli frowned and stopped as well. "I know, so except for delivering messages, I usually don't leave the Black Castle. And my mentor gave me a powerful witchcraft item. If someone really wants to invade the Black Castle, this item can protect me until the wizard tower comes to rescue me."
"Besides, there is a reason why I specifically applied for this job..."
Senior Byron, who was walking silently at the back, didn't know what he was thinking. When Sol and Keli stopped one after another, he was still walking forward, and then bumped into Sol's shoulder.
This directly interrupted the conversation between Thor and Keli.
Because when Thor touched Byron's body, a ripple suddenly appeared on his gray skin.
Although he couldn't see it because of his clothes, Thor could feel that there seemed to be a small crack on his skin.
The cut didn't hurt, and it seemed like something was stirring inside the wound.
Thor silently smoothed the skin and let the wound heal automatically. Then he looked at Byron with a blank expression.
All of the above things happened in a very short period of time, so short that it seemed like a flash of thought.
Keli realized what had happened at this time, and she turned around and said, "Instead of worrying about whether I can live well in Black Castle, why don't you ask about Senior Byron's situation first. I think he is more anxious."
This time, Thor looked at Senior Byron seriously, and Byron just stood there and let Thor observe him.
"Senior...is this the same problem as last time?"
Byron hesitated, nodded, but still didn't "open his mouth".
Only then did Thor realize that after meeting Senior Byron this time, the mouth on his neck had never opened, and he had always used body language or a dull "hmm" instead.
Is the problem so serious that I can't even open my mouth to speak?
Thor immediately said to Byron, "Senior, please wait for me in the laboratory on the third floor. I will come to you as soon as I finish handing over to Keli."
Byron nodded.
In the past few years, he often went in and out of Chuishou Valley near Mobei City, so he was more familiar with Black Castle than Thor.
The three of them parted ways at the stairs in the front hall, one going up and the other two going down.
Thor took Kelly along the basement, wine cellar, and cave to see the huge main root of the devil vine.
"This is the Devil's Ivy. I took up the post in a hurry and only knew that I could become the temporary owner by injecting my mental power into the main root of the Devil's Ivy. But since you have accepted the mission, you should know more than me."
"Of course." Keli nodded proudly. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing two white arms that had not seen the sun for many years.
Her skin was in great condition, with a faint golden shimmer on it, as if a girl had sprinkled a layer of gold powder on her makeup.
Thor stared at Keli's arm.
“Does it look good?”
"Has the metal toxin in your body not been resolved yet?"
"I left this here on purpose," Keli said, pulling out a tube of blue medicine from her pocket. "It's for my next research."
She opened the potion, tilted her head back and swallowed all the liquid. Then she immediately lowered her head and covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she had swallowed a tube of mustard.
After waiting for a few seconds, she blinked away the mist in her eyes and said to Thor with a hissing voice, "The metal radioactivity you mentioned last time gave me some inspiration. I decided to try to develop this special metal toxin. However, this toxin can easily get out of control and affect people around it, so my mentor suggested that I find a closed and deserted space to continue my research. If you have any questions, you can contact him directly."
"So you thought of Black Castle?" Thor exclaimed, "Do you know how to contact the Wizard Tower in Black Castle?"
"Of course, I came here after making sufficient preparations." Keli raised her eyebrows at Thor proudly. "Only the official owner of the Black Castle can contact the Wizard Tower, and the temporary owner cannot. So don't worry, I won't be in danger but unable to ask for help."
"So that's how it is." Thor suddenly realized.
So Bree and the others were certain that they had no way of asking for help from the Wizard Tower.
Kelly let out a long breath, raised her hands, and approached the devil vine as if she was going to strangle someone.
[Hello, it seems that you are my new future master. ]
The Devil Ivy's voice sounded somewhat excited.
But Kelly did not respond to it, but continued to slowly approach the devil vine.
"You seem a little nervous." Thor was a little confused.
Kelly obviously knew the procedure for becoming the owner of the Black Castle without him reminding her, but she looked much more serious than Thor had been at that time.
Keli stared at the devil vine and said, "Don't talk to me yet. My instructor told me that it is very difficult to establish a spiritual connection with the devil vine and asked me to be prepared that I might not succeed in one try... I don't want to drink the spiritual potion a second time."
Although she asked Thor to shut up, she kept talking.
Thor suppressed his laughter and said, "I am really nervous. But is it so difficult to establish a mental connection with the devil vine?"
Thor glanced at the devil vine.
【……】
A few tiny aerial roots twitched for no reason.
At this time, Keli finally walked up to the devil vine and pinched it hard with both hands, leaving a crescent on the surface of the rhizome with her neatly trimmed nails.
The muscles on Keli's face were tense, and it was obvious that her mind and body were working together.
After another minute, she suddenly opened her eyes, her mouth slightly opened, and her face was full of surprise.
"I succeeded?" She pouted. "It wasn't that difficult!"
She suddenly looked at Thor, "Did you do something?"
Thor spread his hands innocently, "You have established a connection with the Devil Ivy, what can I do?"
Keli narrowed her eyes. "Humph, now that you put it that way, it's even less believable!"
