Chapter 720: Internal and External Response
"The Inverted Tree, Beth, and the sneak attack by Char that he mentioned. I remember that when I left, Char had been controlled by the Inverted Tree, but he seemed to still have his own consciousness. Could it be that his consciousness affected the Inverted Tree?"
This wizard Char is really not a simple person. Although he suffers from severe paranoia, his strength is truly unfathomable.
An inverted tree and a second-level wizard were actually caused to lose control by him.
Of course, it is not certain whether things are really as Jonah said.
It's not that Jonah would lie, but everything he knows may be inaccurate.
But now at least we know that there is something wrong with the Inverted Tree, and Baidong College is obviously planning something in an extreme way.
"All those who were penetrated by the tree roots were sealed in a wax-like resin. What happened afterwards? Why did the entire city become a ruin? Why did the people in the outer city still live as before? Do they know what happened in the inner city?"
Jonah laughed bitterly. "I don't know the rest. I, I'm looking for..."
He suddenly felt a little confused, as if he couldn't figure out where he was or what he was doing.
"Brother Thor, he's about to wake up." Penny reminded Thor.
Thor understood that if Jonah realized that his real body had turned into a mutilated corpse, he would probably immediately realize that this was all a dream.
Thor immediately asked, "Since you have seen what happened to those people, do you know what the dean will do next? I heard you say that the dean complained that the cocoon was not enough. Did he kill all the remaining people in the inner city? Where are Beth, the dean, and those who turned into cocoons now?"
Thor's string of questions made Jonah a little dazed. He just stared at Thor blankly.
Just when Thor thought his brain was fully loaded, Jonah suddenly grabbed Thor's arm with such force that he almost broke it.
"You can't find them. They are no longer in this world."
Thor let Jonah hold onto his arm tightly, like a drowning man grasping at a lifeline.
"Then... where are they?" Thor asked softly.
"They are... where you can't find them... hehe..." Jonah suddenly laughed strangely, "I remember now. At the last moment before the tree disappeared, I sacrificed my limbs and some organs and successfully escaped from the beeswax. I remember now."
He slowly let go of Thor's arm, with a look of tears and laughter on his face, "But I still lost the most important thing. I have to find it back."
The images around Thor began to blur, as if someone was adjusting the pixels of the world in his eyes.
The blockiness is getting stronger.
The world is becoming increasingly fake.
The dream began to collapse.
The building blocks that make up dreams are collapsing and falling.
Along with the room, Jonah's intact and healthy skin also peeled off.
When the flesh-colored and black building blocks fell off Jonah's body, what was revealed was not the mutilated human body that Thor saw in the outside world.
Instead, it was a human figure made of ashes.
"We should go, Brother Thor." Penny's voice also became serious. "We must leave here before we wake up from the dream, otherwise the way out will become a maze like a ball of wool."
Even though Thor still had some unanswered questions, he could only nod.
In the world of dreams, a third-level wizard cannot rely on magic from the outside world.
Because there is only mental power here, no magic power.
Two silver wings suddenly appeared behind Thor.
With a sudden flap of the wings, the whole world began to fly backwards.
The Ash Man in front of him quickly moved away.
The world gradually darkened, and then became bright in an instant.
But there is also darkness in this brightness.
Thor opened his eyes and saw Wizard Jonah lying on the ground in front of him, curled up like a baby.
His head was resting on his fingerless arm on the right side, and his thigh, which had lost its calf, was curled inward as much as possible.
Gathered into a ball.
His face was still featureless.
All Thor gave him were eyes in his dreams.
But on this face that looked like nothing, Thor saw a hint of peace.
He is dead.
The moment he realized it.
Thor walked forward slowly, raised his hand and gently patted Jonah on the back.
This man, who had been struggling in the ancient city of Stene for an unknown period of time, collapsed like mosquito coil ash that was scattered all over the ground by a light touch.
It turned into the familiar gray powder, adding another cloud of dust to the messy room.
"Alas," Penny said calmly, without any sentimentality towards the others, "it seems he didn't really survive the massacre."
Saul stood there motionless for a while, causing Penny and Herman to be afraid to speak later.
I don't know what Thor is thinking.
After a while, the entire inner city became darker, and Thor started to move.
He walked out of the house and returned to the room opposite. He raised his hand and waved it, and the dust in the room was swept into the corner.
Although the whole room may not look brand new, at least it will not be covered with dust.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Thor walked to the dining table in the living room of the house, pulled out a chair and sat down.
A huge quill appeared on the table in front of him, along with several unused pieces of parchment.
Thor picked up the ridiculously large quill, flicked it, and began to write on the parchment.
"Keli, I need you to help me do a few things outside..."
…
The package on Keli's body suddenly vibrated. She lowered her head and took out a piece of parchment with delicate lace from a delicate little leather bag and spread it out on her thighs.
"Tsk, you don't even take me in, and you make me do so many things."
He complained but had a smile on his face.
Although she and Thor have always been friends, she cannot interfere in anything Thor does.
The other party made progress so fast that she could only watch from behind, and any help from Thor was of great benefit to her.
This made Keli, who claimed to be a genius, feel anxious.
That was why, after she woke up under the collapsed wizard tower, she did not follow Senior Byron to find Thor.
With her strength, the past would only be a hindrance.
So when Grand Duke Kira came to invite her to the royal capital and promised to help her become a formal wizard as soon as possible, Kelly agreed without hesitation.
Not entirely for her family.
Being able to help Thor today finally gave her some comfort.
She jumped down from the tree, and An and Agu came over.
They had already left the original town and were hiding in the woods outside.
"Is this the news from the master?" An was very curious, and his eyes kept glancing at the parchment in Keli's hand.
Agu on the side was very honest. He didn't peek at all. He just looked at the huge feather pen in Keli's hand.
"Communication pen?"
Keli giggled, "Yes, after the Gorza Wizard Tower collapsed, Thor and I each stole one. This pen cannot be used at a long distance, but Thor has strong mental strength and modified it so that it can be used at this distance."
An was not interested in the communication pen. She asked anxiously, "Does the master have something for us to do?"
Keli restrained her smile and said, "He asked us to help set up some witchcraft circles outside. This circle is so strange, I have never seen it before."
Keli unfolded the parchment and showed it to the two consciousnesses opposite her.
With permission, An and Agu all came over.
On the yellowed, soft parchment, below a few lines of text, there were five complex miniature magic circles.
There are intersecting lines between these magic circles.
It suddenly formed a pentagram.
