Chapter 4: The Power of Bones
All the boys in the room looked at Thor in surprise.
The whole room was quiet for a while.
But soon, three boys looked at each other and came out.
"You are quite capable, boy!" The first man picked up a chair from the ground and slashed at Thor fiercely, "Let me see which is harder, your hand or the wood!"
Thor stretched out his bony left hand and punched the wooden bench.
The wooden stool was smashed to pieces with a loud crash, and the debris covered the other person's face.
But the boys did not attack again.
Everyone fell silent, their faces no longer showing surprise, but horror.
Even Brown, who was lying on the ground groaning, looked at Thor's left hand in shock and subconsciously moved back.
The left hand cannot be hidden.
Their servants don't have gloves, and they have a lot of work to do every day, so it's impossible for them to not use their left hand all the time.
Thor simply showed it to shock everyone and at the same time make his right hand less conspicuous.
"You, are you cursed?"
Unexpectedly, the first thing everyone thought of was a curse.
"Is this curse contagious?"
"Go tell the butler!"
Thor didn't explain. He looked at Brown and suddenly stretched out his left hand to grab him.
“Woooooa ...
Brown was so frightened that he didn't even care about the injury on his left hand and rolled and crawled backwards.
Thor waved his left hand in front of everyone again.
A group of boys were so frightened that they screamed and retreated one after another.
Thor suddenly felt that he was a little childish, but he also felt a little relieved.
"Starting tomorrow, I won't be cleaning the corridor anymore." No one in the room dared to contradict Thor, "You guys take turns!"
He pointed his bony index finger at Brown. "You go first."
Brown's face changed immediately.
"Butler, it's him. He was cursed and didn't report it!"
A boy's voice came from behind.
Thor turned around and saw another boy who always laughed at him coming in with a middle-aged man in a black uniform.
The butler did not show any fear when he saw Thor's hand.
He frowned quickly, "Come with me."
Thor glanced at the informer and followed the butler out in silence.
The two came to the utility room.
"Tell me about it."
"I performed a live experiment on Master Kongsha, a second-level wizard apprentice."
The housekeeper was startled, "Are you volunteering?"
Thor was puzzled. If he didn't volunteer, could the butler still help him fight the lawsuit? "Ahem..." The butler coughed twice, "I mean, has Lord Kongsha paid you? If not, you can ask the butler for compensation. After all, servants are the tower master's assets, and even apprentices cannot be consumed at will."
Thor wouldn't believe what the butler said.
Before the time travel, Thor was killed by a wizard apprentice who hit him with a book. But when he died and the present Thor traveled through time, no one wanted to give him an explanation.
The other party was simply testing whether he and Kong Sha had any friendship.
So Thor said calmly, "No."
Seeing the butler's face change slightly, he continued: "Between me and Lord Kong Sha, there is no need for that little reward."
The housekeeper's expression changed again.
He was halfway through getting angry, but he forced himself into a smile.
"Ah, haha, well, since you guys... then I won't bother you any more. You can go back. You don't have to work for the next two days, just take a good rest."
He glanced at Thor's left hand fearfully.
Thor bowed slightly, "Thank you, butler."
He pushed the door open and saw a group of boys crowding at the bedroom door looking over here.
Thor walked over and the boys immediately retreated back into the room.
"You!" Thor pointed at the boy who had informed on the matter, "It will be your turn the day after tomorrow."
The other person's face suddenly became as white as Brown!
For the next two days, Thor lived a fairly comfortable life.
No one assigned him any work, so he could wander around most areas of the fourth floor. No one dared to compete with him for food, so he could finally eat hot meals and occasionally even see meat.
Even the butler sent him a bottle of medicine the next day, said to be for treating his head wound.
ridiculous!
He doesn't even have a scar on his forehead anymore.
However, Thor still accepted the medicine respectfully and thanked the butler repeatedly.
Everything he enjoys now comes from people's speculation about his relationship with Kongsha, but if Thor cannot become a wizard apprentice, then everything will be a bubble and he will eventually be reduced to his original form.
Didn't you see that Kong Sha didn't even bother to know his name at that time? Without becoming a wizard apprentice, he had no right to be arrogant, and Thor could only scare those boys who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
On the third day, something happened.
The boy who went to clean the corridor early that morning did not come back.
In the end, it was the housekeeper who stepped forward and brought the body back.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
One boy enthusiastically described to Thor in vivid detail how the dead servant's entire head had turned into a flower.
The skull is the pistil, and the skin and flesh on the face bloom layer by layer, bright as fire.
After the housekeeper brought the body back, he handed it directly to the garbage room for disposal. Blood dripped all the way, and even Thor, who was resting, was called to help mop the floor.
Thor and a group of boys squatted on the ground and wiped the blood-stained ground vigorously.
None of the wizard apprentices passing by paid any attention to them.
They were always in a hurry and didn't care if another servant died.
Thor even saw Khonsa's chin.
It’s just that the other person’s head is hidden in the hood, so it’s not as scary as at night.
After I went back, the housekeeper came again.
"I see you've had enough rest, so start working normally tomorrow."
"Okay." Thor agreed immediately.
Someone was whispering behind me.
Obviously, this passing encounter with Kong Sha was noticed by someone with ulterior motives.
Because Kong Sha didn't waste even a glance on Thor, some people already thought that Thor was bluffing.
When the butler saw that Thor agreed so readily, his brows furrowed even more.
Just as he was about to say something, the door of the room was pushed open again.
It turned out to be the butler who walked in.
"Master, the chief steward," the butler bowed 90 degrees and saluted, "Why are you here?"
The butler ignored the butler's courtesy and said to Thor with a cold face: "Are you Thor?"
Saul knew that the chance for Kongsha to agree to his request had come.
He clenched his hands quietly in his sleeves, "Yes, Master Butler."
"Come with me."
The butler turned and walked out without paying any attention to the butler.
Thor moved sideways past the butler and nodded and smiled at him.
A layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on the butler's head.
…
Thor followed the butler all the way to the sixth floor.
Most of the people living on the sixth to ninth floors are junior wizard apprentices, and there are also higher-level apprentices who have been promoted but are unwilling to move out.
Normally there are very few people in the wizard tower, but today the corridor is packed with people.
They were all neatly dressed children in their teens, but there was no innocence on their faces. Instead, they all looked pale and terrified.
"You go and stand at the back." The butler led Thor to the back of the team, pointed his chin and said lightly.
"Yes." Thor knew that this was the new wizard apprentice. He suppressed his excitement, walked over slowly, and stood quietly at the end of the team.
The person at the back heard the noise, turned around vigilantly, and looked at Thor, confused at first, then showing some anger.
Thor didn't know why he had that expression, but he glared back firmly without any fear.
After living with those boys for a few days, Thor finally understood everything.
This world is different from his world. If you are harmonious and friendly, you will only be regarded as weak and can be bullied.
In that case, Thor might as well be tough.
