Chapter 319 Agreement reached
Gorza revealed his cards.
He finally revealed the real reason why he was paying attention to Thor.
However, his showdown really made Thor's hands and feet cold. For a moment, Thor recalled the rough touch of the black leather on the conveyor belt in the morgue.
He swallowed, and his heartbeat, which had almost stopped due to the shock, slowly recovered.
"It may not be the worst possible outcome. If the instructor really wanted to slice me up, there was no need to wait until now, and there was no need to tell me now." Thor tried to comfort himself and calm himself down. "In this world, soul leaving the body and possession are not rare events. I am just special in that I can ignore the rejection of my body. But if this matter is brought up, I can actually bring it to the table and study it together with the instructor."
Thor's brain was working rapidly, and he had decided on the next response in the shortest possible time.
"I-I didn't mean to do that. I was in this body the moment I woke up."
Saul did not deny it. If he did so in the face of facts that had already been discovered, Gorsa would look down on him.
It is better to admit it in a panic tone and admit some things that are not very important first.
"I don't know why I was able to survive. I wasn't a wizard, just an ordinary person. I didn't even know what wizards were. I was born in a small town..."
Gorza waved his hand casually. "Oh, there's no need to talk about this. I don't care about your past. When I saw you on the first day, I confirmed that you were not a wizard. Although your spiritual power is strong, it is like a piece of undeveloped jade. Since you are not a wizard, it makes no difference to me even if you were a king."
He extended his index finger and gently tapped his forehead. "I even suspect that the uniqueness of your soul does not lie in you, but in the impact of this experience after you left your original body and entered this ordinary body. Or you can call it a kind of alienation that brings positive feedback."
Thor's mouth opened slightly.
He hasn't thought about this question yet.
He had no recollection of his death in his previous life or possession in this life, nor had he ever thought carefully about why he had such a strong mental gift.
In his previous life, time travel and rebirth were not new terms and had been mentioned in countless novels.
However, most novels just use it as an opening remark, and no one delve into its principles.
As for the improvement of his mental talent, Thor simply attributed it to the soul enhancement brought about by traveling through the world.
But he never thought about how to strengthen it specifically.
This matter was too far away for him. Without the strength of a fourth-level wizard or above, how could he possibly solve the mystery of traveling through the world? But today, when mentor Gorza reminded him, Thor suddenly realized that he had made the mistake of being in control of the situation.
In a world with many high-level powers, time travel might not be unusual. The only special thing about him was that he came from a world with different underlying rules.
This world is very different from the wizarding world. If I want to go home, it may not be a problem that can be solved by simple space travel.
Gorza did not disturb Thor's thoughts. He knew that the other party had a secret, but at the moment he was only concerned about the reason for the specialness of his soul.
"I don't remember anything about that time." Thor tried hard to recall the transition period between his past and present life, but he couldn't remember anything.
He didn't know how he died, nor how he lived. He closed his eyes and opened them again, and woke up in this body that was not yet completely cold.
"Of course, your original identity was neither a wizard nor someone with extraordinary powers. The fact that you can survive in someone else's body is more likely a matter of probability. Your amnesia should be the self-protection of your consciousness."
Gorza chuckled and shook his head. "If we want to study the peculiarity of your soul, we can still use many gentle experimental methods. But if we want to trace the source of your peculiarity, the high-level knowledge hidden in that period of history... I'm afraid your consciousness can't bear it."
"You mean to say that studying my experiences before I came into this body might have a harmful impact on me?"
"That's right. Whether you are from a distant place or another world, the reasons and experiences of your soul traveling through space are knowledge that you cannot bear. Even if I want to explore, it will be extremely dangerous."
Gorza narrowed his eyes. "But Thor, if the resurrection experiment cannot be completed before I can no longer hold on, I may have to take the risk of studying this dangerous knowledge."
His meaning was clear. If he explored Sol's history himself, it would likely cause irreparable harm to Sol, or even fatal contamination.
Either he completes the resurrection experiment that several mentors have been unable to complete in many years within 10 years; or he finds out the special characteristics of his own soul and copies it into Yula's spirit body; or he becomes a test subject and endures extremely dangerous research by others.
"I may not even have 10 years. My advisor will not choose to study my time travel process at the last minute. His research also takes time. I may only have 5 years, or even 3 years..."
Although Gorza didn't say it explicitly, Thor knew that as a wizard, he had to always maintain a sense of urgency and vigilance.
Faced with such an urgent future and an unavoidable fate, Thor did not feel any resentment.
The moment he decided to become a wizard, he already knew that selection and elimination were the main themes of the Wizard Tower. At least Gorza gave him a chance to prove himself.
"I understand, mentor." Thor raised his head, his eyes full of fighting spirit. "I will do my best to help you complete the resurrection experiment."
Gorza's eyes curved again. "Very good. I also promise that during your experiment, I will let all the instructors fully cooperate with you. If you can complete the experiment, or make a significant contribution to the resurrection experiment, I will protect your consciousness, not investigate your past, and not reveal your secrets. This is an equal exchange... Hehe, although you can't refuse."
Thor smiled as well, "No reward, mentor?"
Gorza raised his hand and knocked on the wall beside him again. "Reward. I told you at the beginning that if you hadn't died, this wizard tower would have been yours."
So it was waiting here! A wizard tower...
Thor also touched the rock wall on his upper body. For a man like him who had no family background, it was really attractive!
Agreement reached!
Although the exposure of the identity was an established fact, Thor was still very curious about how Gorsa discovered that he was a time traveler.
If another powerful second-level wizard comes along, will he be able to tell that his soul consciousness is not original?
He had been in close contact with Kira before. Did the other party recognize his identity?
What about Kismet? Did he already know this? If one day he met a Level 2 wizard who had nothing to do with him, would he be taken to the experimental table by the latter?
"Teacher... when did you discover that my soul is not my own in this body? Can others see it easily too?"
"I noticed it the first day you showed up." Gorsa's tone was still gentle, but it sounded chilly.
Just like the breeze in early spring, it feels warm at first, but it’s actually cold to the bone.
"The first...day?"
"I was on night patrol when I saw a boy with a big wound on his head walking in the west tower in a daze."
"It's you, Thor. At that time, you should have just entered this body, and your body and soul had not yet fully merged. Haha, I can see your spirit leaking out of your body from time to time." There was a smile in Gorsa's voice, as if he could still recall Thor's helplessness and embarrassment when he had just come through.
