Chapter 437 Elf Skin and Black Iron Coffin (I)
"Thor?" a familiar voice called him.
Thor turned around and found that it was Mentor Kaz.
The wound on Kaz's neck has completely healed, but he still looks pale and tired, and his mental state is particularly bad.
"Teacher Kaz."
Kaz looked at Thor, looking him up and down, just like when he first met him.
"Alas, who would have thought that you would be the first apprentice to become a formal wizard?" Kaz shook his head again, "Maybe I am not suitable to be a mentor."
"Teacher Kaz?" Thor walked forward and wanted to support the other person. He always knew that Teacher Kaz looked old, but when he saw him again today, he suddenly felt that his heart was also tired.
"I'm fine." Kaz saw that Thor was worried about him, waved his hand, and looked at the ruined wizard tower. "I used to think that even if some of the ways of Lord Gorza were indeed embarrassing, as long as we were patient and completed the resurrection experiment, we would be able to live well in the end. But I still underestimated their greed and repression. The firewood eventually turned into an uncontrollable fire, and the funny thing is that in the end they just burned themselves to ashes."
Kaz looked at Thor again, endured it for a moment, and finally whispered: "The tower master still wants to revive Yula. He hasn't really given up. You have to be careful. Maybe he will be grateful for your help now, but if one day he still can't achieve his goal, he may still target you again."
"I... understand. Thank you, Teacher Kaz."
Thor understood Kaz's concerns.
Thor once thought that as long as he completed the resurrection experiment, Gorza would achieve his goal, but now it seems that he wanted to resurrect Yula, not to resurrect his beloved wife.
Because if the tower master really likes Youla, he would not remain indifferent when seeing her in such pain.
When Thor thought about the words "Kill me" he heard from the puppet three years ago, he realized that the real Yula could no longer bear the pain of resurrection.
At this time, Gorza's usual gentle treatment became a suffocating cage.
As the two were talking, apprentices came over from the distant forest one after another.
There weren't many of them, less than ten.
Thor saw several familiar faces among them, including George, his former male servant, and Chlom who liked to dance with corpses - he even held a complete female corpse in his arms.
These apprentices are often not particularly powerful apprentices, or they are lone rangers like Chrom.
They originally had little presence in the wizard tower, but they became the group with the largest number of survivors.
Of course, there are still some second- and third-level apprentices who have not returned.
These people seemed to regard Mentor Kaz as their backbone, and they surrounded him in panic. Only George greeted Thor cautiously.
Since becoming a wizard apprentice, he finally understood the gap between himself and Thor. At the same time, he also realized that being a wizard is not a safe identity, and sometimes the horror is more dangerous as the strength grows.
This led to him not daring to get too close to Thor later on.
Because the aura of the other person would make him tremble.
"Ah! It's Lord Thor!" There was a thumb-sized fleshy ball on George's left neck, and an innocent boy's voice came from it.
"Shh!" George quickly covered the tumor.
Thor nodded at him, "Is that your brother?"
George bowed and said, "Yes, he said he wanted a head, too. I want to grow a human face tumor."
"What the hell!" Kaz shouted at the side. "Human Face Tumor is very easy to mutate and even contaminate yourself. Who taught you to do this?"
George was dumbfounded and said the name of a third-level apprentice, only to find that the other party had died in the wizard tower.
"Really!" Kaz sighed, "I used to focus on the resurrection experiment, but now that I don't have to do the experiment anymore, I'll just discipline you idiots."
I don't know why, but after saying this, the decadent aura on Kaz's body suddenly weakened a lot.
Looking at Mentor Kaz scolding these incompetent apprentices one by one, Thor couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
When the sun set, Kaz and others lit a bonfire beside the ruins.
With the help of this little light, Kaz and other apprentices who had returned one after another began to clean up the ruins of the wizard tower.
Thor was also inside, looking for the first warehouse. Because in addition to some materials he left there, Hayden was still lying in the sarcophagus! Fortunately, although the wizard tower collapsed, it was mainly the upper part that was broken into pieces, and below the tenth floor it was broken horizontally and fell to the ground.
The floors below the fourth floor are even better preserved.
However, even so, most of the butlers and servants did not survive.
The collapse of the wizard tower triggered a chain reaction of wizarding materials that, even if common, were dangerous to non-wizards, so many people were already dead and unrecognizable when they were dug out.
In order to recover as many of Gorza's unwanted assets as possible, Kaz took the remaining apprentices and servants to clean up the ruins, and in the end they actually managed to pick up a lot of good things.
However, Thor noticed that the butler, who was rather elusive and in charge of all the butlers, was not here.
There were no bodies, nor were there any survivors.
"Could he have been taken away by Gorsa as well?" Thor thought secretly.
Early the next morning, Kaz found Thor again.
"We have basically cleared the ruins." Kaz laughed bitterly, "But I found that the items in the rooms above the 19th floor are basically gone. I guess they were taken away by Gorza. Haha, I also wanted to see the tower owner's collection of books, but it seems I don't have that luck. How are you doing?"
The first floor of the East Tower was tacitly assumed to belong to Thor. No one dared to come and steal it, and even Kaz deliberately stayed away.
"After the wizard tower collapsed, the bronze gate also lost its activity. Some of the materials in the first warehouse were not contaminated. I picked out some and I'll leave the rest for you."
Kaz did not refuse. The irresponsible tower master just ran away. If he still wanted to take care of the surviving apprentices, he must have enough supplies.
"The second warehouse..."
"Take whatever you can from the second warehouse. The materials there are quite dangerous, and even level 3 apprentices cannot use them casually."
Thor was tempted, but he didn't have a backpack that big. Even his compressed bag only had a few cubic meters of space, which was not enough to fill a warehouse.
"The bodies in the second warehouse have all rotted. A lot of materials are preserved by dividing them up. When I went there, some of the materials were fighting and some were lost," Thor described with a smile.
"I still took some away. There is still a lot left. I will leave it to you, my mentor."
"That's fine. It's dangerous if you carry everything with you." Kaz took it again, and after a moment he asked again, "Thor, are you... leaving?"
"Yeah." Thor didn't deny it.
"Did you take away all the evil spirits in the mezzanine?"
Thor was stunned. He didn't expect that Professor Kaz could find out. He admitted directly, "Yes, Professor Gorza must have planned from the beginning that he would leave after the experiment was successful, so he said that he would leave the wizard tower to me... But now the existing wizard tower has collapsed. However, Gorza still gave me something very important. The fragments of the vengeful spirit are also in it."
Kaz opened his mouth. He seemed very interested, but after thinking about it, he didn't ask.
"Well, young man, it's time to go out and explore the world. After I finish cleaning up here, I plan to go to the Principality of Kerma with the apprentices who are willing to go with me."
Thor was stunned. He didn't expect that Kaz was going to leave too.
"Aren't you going to rebuild the wizard tower here?"
Kaz smiled and waved his hands, "How can I be qualified to build a wizard tower? Besides, this place was allocated to Lord Gorza by the Principality of Kerma. I can't control it."
"There are also some small wizard organizations in the Principality of Kema. I plan to find a suitable place to settle down there. By the way, the name of the organization is the Dead Garden. If you go to the Principality of Kema in the future, you can go and take a look."
According to Mentor Kaz, he seemed to have established the organization called the Dead Garden and developed it further.
Suddenly, a silver butterfly came into Thor's eyes, followed by Penny's lively baby voice.
"Brother Sol, Keli is awake."
Thor was stunned at first, then he smiled happily and said goodbye to Kaz.
"Teacher Kaz, Keli is awake. I'll go check on her first."
"Go, go!" Kaz waved his hand quickly.
Thor followed the Nightmare Butterfly and jumped directly from the original small garden into a big pit. Before he fell to the bottom of the pit, a black tentacle as thick as a thigh caught him from below.
Thor trotted over and saw Senior Byron was there too.
The two nodded, and Thor rushed to Kelly, who was wearing a metal shell.
"Kelly, are you awake?"
Because of the metal armor blocking her voice, Keli's voice was buzzing.
"Help me open a few holes quickly, I'm almost suffocating!"
It's the last day of this month, I hope 300 monthly tickets are not too much~ (End of this chapter)
