Chapter 545: Changes in Rhine Lake
As soon as Thor got the powder that left traces of the crisis, he immediately began to study it.
After studying it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out its specific components.
It didn't seem to be soil, nor did it seem to be some kind of crystal. He had no idea what it was.
"It's like a completely new substance." Thor decided to ask the local old witch if she knew anything.
So, four days after entering the basement, Thor finally came out.
"I thought you died in there."
The old witch was standing at the exit of the basement, looking unhappy.
After living in the wizard tower for more than a month, her height had increased from two heads to four heads.
From a baby to a little loli.
Oh, the face isn't.
"The experiment encountered some problems and took longer than expected. By the way, old witch, you are knowledgeable and an old man from the Borderlands. Have you ever seen this kind of material?"
Thor placed the petri dish in front of the old witch.
"Where did you get this thing?" The old witch glanced at it casually, and then her expression suddenly changed.
“You do know.”
"It's okay for me to tell you. If you stay in the Borderlands for a long time, you will encounter it sooner or later." The old witch had a complicated expression. "This is the remnant of the pollution source in the Borderlands. We all call it strange sand."
"Strange sand?"
"Someone once discovered that new rules were born wherever strange sand appeared. Haha, congratulations, the rules of Rhine Lake that we just analyzed are no longer applicable. Next, we will have to take risks and study the new rules that will appear here."
The old witch didn't look happy.
Every exploration of the rules brings a lot of death.
Even so, people may not discover all the rules, so occasionally wizards will suddenly and inexplicably die in the place where they have lived for many years.
Thor thought to himself, "But the diary doesn't indicate any danger, and the soul that looks like Camus inside is still unconscious."
He asked the old witch again, "Is this strange sand dangerous? Or what is its use?"
"It's useless. It's like the residue of exhausted energy. Of course, there's still a little bit of radioactive contamination on it, which is enough to be fatal to ordinary people."
There is indeed a little radiation on this strange sand, but it has no effect on apprentices above level two.
At this moment, Mash, who lived outside the tower, came running in, panting and saying nervously, "My Lord, Rhine Lake, Rhine Lake is frozen!"
Thor and the old witch looked at each other, then stood up and walked out at the same time.
When the two came outside, they found that the thick fog that originally had a visibility of less than ten meters had dissipated a lot at some point, leaving only the misty, dreamy, fairy-like white fog covering the Rhine Lake and the island in the middle of the lake.
Even though he was dozens of meters away, Thor could see that there was indeed a thick layer of ice on the surface of Rhine Lake.
This caused the temperature of the island in the middle of the lake to drop a little compared to before. It was clearly March, when flowers were blooming and spring was just around the corner, but it felt as cold as February, freezing the skin.
Thor walked quickly to the lake and stared at the ice.
The figures of those vengeful spirits who had once stared at him in confusion at the bottom of the lake were also obscured. I wonder what their situation is now?
It just so happens that his experimental subjects have not been consumed yet.
Saul called over the dull Kent.
The old witch narrowed her eyes.
She recognized at a glance that this Kent was not a living person, and should be of the same nature as the butler.
It's just that she doesn't know the specific construction principle yet... Of course, he is too lazy to figure it out.
There is too much unknown knowledge in this world, and she is too lazy to figure it all out.
However, she is still willing to use her brain when it comes to matters related to herself, such as the rules of Rhine Lake.
The old witch also walked to Thor's side, raised her hand and pinched a ball of air, which turned into a little bird with whirlwind wings.
"go!"
The old witch shouted softly and let go of her hand.
The bird was seen flying straight towards the ice with a heroic spirit of being ready to die.
However, the little bird created by witchcraft suddenly disappeared as soon as it crossed the interface between the lake and the ice surface.
The wings formed by the whirlwind spread out and turned into a breeze, but it didn't even blow away the thin mist around it.
"Magic forbidden space?" The old witch's face became increasingly heavy.
By this time Kent had obeyed the order and walked to Thor's side.
Although the old witch's air bird had dissipated, Thor still let Kent step onto the ice.
Kent had no sense of crisis, so Thor gave the order and walked forward.
The moment he stepped onto the ice, he disappeared.
Thor had been staring at Kent, and this time he finally discovered that when Kent crossed the boundary between the lake shore and the lake water, the body witchcraft around his body disintegrated in an instant.
Kent's soul was pulled under the ice by the inexplicable force of rules at a speed that the naked eye could hardly keep up with.
Thor thought about it and walked to the edge of the lake.
"Hey, don't seek death!" the old witch quickly stopped him.
"I know." Thor paid attention to the movement of the diary while trying to use it to extract Kent's soul that was sucked into the Rhine Lake.
He then easily returns Kent's soul to the diary.
It seems that the rules of the Rhine Lake do not prevent souls from leaving. But it is more likely that the power of the diary is stronger than the rules of this area.
Thor went back and replaced it with a separate experimental spirit, and set a coordinate for summoning witchcraft in the spirit.
But this time, after the spirit went under the ice, Thor was unable to summon it back.
The coordinates also disappeared after the soul entered the lake.
"Witchcraft will disappear once it enters the Rhine Lake, and the soul will be sucked under the ice. So can we use physical methods to bring the soul back?"
Thor let the algae split into a long and thin tentacle, and threw one end onto the lake like a fishing rod.
The new tentacles cannot split again on the ice, but they can use their pointed mouths to chew on ice.
It took it ten minutes to finally make a small hole in the ice.
Then it crawled in and used its mouth to pick up the spirit that fell in.
And then sent it back to Thor little by little.
Xiao Zao once swallowed a cryptocrystalline substance in the Elf Valley and mutated.
Therefore, unlike other Soul-Devouring Swamps, it can touch physical objects, spirits, and even conscious entities like the Nightmare Butterfly.
But when the little algae clone crawled back to the shore and opened its mouth to Thor, Thor and the old witch discovered that what it brought back was not the spirit that Thor had thrown in before.
"Well, it's a little difficult for your clone to tell which spirit is which."
Thor touched Xiaozao's head.
"Your pet is quite unique." The old witch looked at Xiao Zao with envy.
Powerful yet well-behaved.
Saul didn't respond and refused to sell it anyway.
He came to the lake again. "The spirit will be pulled to the bottom of the lake, and the magic power will dissipate. But the algae can move on the ice and even bite through the ice... It seems that the rules here are not very strong. At least there will be no extreme situation of instant death."
"But... Xiaozao is a demonic creature and can go up there. What about us?"
Thor took a tentative step forward.
The old witch's eyes widened immediately, and before she could stop him, she saw Thor had already taken the second step.
The whole person was standing completely on the ice.
She opened her mouth so wide that her head almost tilted back.
"You... lunatic!"
Third update!
