Chapter 707 Behind the Seal
Unlike Mentor Gorza, Thor's teleportation ability is greatly limited.
His teleportation must be connected to the line of fate.
Instead of going wherever you want like Golsa.
Before coming to the old manor, Thor asked Eddie to come over early.
Eddie didn't know that Thor needed him to teleport here directly, and thought that he was asked to come here to explore.
He began to report his findings to Thor.
"Master Tower Master, I have checked this place. Since the eye of the storm was sealed last time, no other pollution has appeared. It is cleaner than most areas in the Borderlands."
Thor nodded. "Did anyone else pass by nearby during this time?"
"Some people are passing by on their way to Rhine City, but no matter if they are caravans or lone travelers, they basically won't come near here."
After all, it was once the place where the eye of the storm erupted, and wizards generally were reluctant to approach it due to concerns about potential pollution.
Only Eddie witnessed Thor's ability to help him clean up the pollution in his body, so he was not as afraid of the old manor where the eye of the storm once erupted as others.
Listening to Eddie's report, Thor's eyes had already fallen on the dilapidated roof of the old manor.
"Okay, I understand. Next, you leave here first, and don't tell anyone else about my presence here. If anyone asks you about the Old Manor..."
Eddie immediately responded, "I said it was for the development of Rhine City and to investigate the safety of the surrounding areas."
Thor glanced at Eddie.
An eye appeared on the other person's forehead and quickly disappeared.
These people seemed to have treated him as the city lord.
Saul didn't refuse.
Although he would not really become a city lord or manage any city.
He will not forget that he is a wizard. The road ahead will only be filled with endless unknowns.
Although this road is difficult and dangerous, we don’t have to just pray to God when danger comes.
Thor entered the old manor only after Eddie left.
The original rules here have been completely destroyed by the eye of the eruption.
After the eye of the storm was sealed, this place became very safe temporarily.
After a few years, when the threat of the Black Tide has worn off, someone will surely reoccupy this place.
Slowly climbing the dilapidated wooden stairs, Thor's body suddenly felt lighter as he listened to the wood under his feet breaking under the weight.
When I took another step, there was no sound of footsteps.
He entered through the main door which was half-missing.
The main hall and corridors were covered with unknown mycelium, some of which were grayish white and some were black.
There was a flash of fire.
Green smoke immediately rose from the room, and the mycelium was burned into powder by the high temperature, revealing the originally spacious corridor.
Now, Thor's control over witchcraft has become extremely delicate. The fire that broke out in the blink of an eye only burned the mycelium, but did not damage the surrounding walls and the old carpet under his feet.
Following the familiar passage, Thor came to the basement of the manor again.
The original owner of the manor was alienated here and died in helplessness and despair.
And a giant rat devoured the dead wizard and became the mastermind behind the entire manor.
Everyone once thought that once the rats and the evil spirit of the original owner were dealt with, this place would no longer be dangerous.
But later, the Kuroshio pollution broke out here.
Thor passed through the overturned experimental equipment and came to the place where the giant rat died.
There was only a black stain left, and it was impossible to tell what had happened.
But when the diary appeared in Thor's hands, the tranquility around him immediately boiled like boiling water.
"Sure enough, the eye of the storm first erupted from here, but later moved outside, but the root cause is still here."
After carefully observing the lines condensed above the diary, Thor raised his hand, and several black blades appeared around his body.
He pointed his index finger forward.
The black blade beside him immediately sank into the ground.
Just like cutting tofu, a big hole was dug out in the ground in just a few breaths.
The ground beneath Thor's feet quickly collapsed, but he still stood in the same place, suspended in the air without moving.
After digging about three or four meters down, a strangely shaped disc appeared in front of Thor.
He then landed and raised his hand to brush away the dirt on the disc.
The disc felt very cold, as if one was reaching one's hand into the deep ocean at night.
"This is the effect of the Ice Locking Array." Thor quickly saw the hidden patterns on the disc. "It turned into this after the Eye of the Storm was sealed? It seems that it doesn't need anyone to watch over it."
During this time, Thor also learned a lot about the history of the Borderlands. The sealed Eye of the Storm has never broken the seal again.
This seems to be a special property of space.
Therefore, these places where the eye of the storm once appeared will no longer attract people's attention.
This made things convenient for Thor.
Because he came here today to cause trouble.
"I'm not very good at earth-attributed magic. But..."
Thor raised his foot and stomped the ground lightly.
The soil under his feet and around him immediately flowed like mercury and gradually closed up above Thor's head.
Then the soil hardened, turning the big hole that Thor had just dug into an enclosed space.
In this dark little space, Thor raised his hand and lit a few light balls for illumination. Then, he used magic power to draw witchcraft circles directly on the six walls around him.
These arrays have Byron's inerting formula and the function of sealing energy to prevent leakage.
At the same time, he borrowed some of the contents of the space teleportation array he bought in the ancient city of Archester to strengthen the spatial stability of this small room.
After spending half a day preparing, Thor took a deep breath, and all the blood, flesh and organs in his body instantly became transparent, and then were absorbed by his black skeleton like a drop of water falling into the desert.
A skeleton, completely black except for a white segment between the index finger of its left hand, squatted down again.
“Ka-ka-ka-ka.”
Without muscles, the bones connected by mysterious power collided with each other, making a sound like grinding teeth.
The only white bone on the left hand slowly pressed against the center of the ice seal.
A strong chill was directed into Thor's fingertips.
"This time it's truly icy cold." The black skeleton laughed at itself. Instead of dodging, it continued to push hard against the center of the ice lock formation.
While testing the seal with the white anchor point on his fingertips, Thor was constantly adjusting the diary, keeping an eye on whether the lines on it would project any signs of danger.
After an hour, Thor felt that he seemed to sense something through the sealing circle.
But it was just a vague feeling, and I couldn't be sure whether there was something under the seal.
After trying for a while and seeing no progress other than that vague feeling, Thor had no choice but to get up.
If we don't stop now, it will be too late.
At this time, many black water droplets had precipitated in the enclosed space that Thor had temporarily created, just like the mist on the indoor windows in winter.
But these black drops are not honest.
They were like struggling drowning people, constantly twisting the water droplets, trying to break away from the mud walls.
Although Thor did not look at the black water droplets, his mental power always covered the entire room.
Through the perception of his mental power, he could clearly "see" that a few drops of black water had broken free from the wall.
But when these water droplets broke free from the wall, they revealed something connected to them underneath - a face.
The rounded water drops here are not real water drops.
Instead, it is the round upper half of a human head.
They revealed the faces that had been hidden in the wall before, and they looked exactly like Thor! The empty mouths on these faces opened and closed, and layers of sounds were transmitted into Thor's brain.
"It doesn't make any sense..."
There is only one update today, I will try to make up for it tomorrow (end of this chapter)
