Chapter 732: Be bold

Chapter 732: Be bold

When Beth was ready to sacrifice the entire city of Koster, she made the decision to flee the West with her confidants.

Since they were not staying here anymore, she naturally didn't care what impact this sacrifice would have on the entire western region of the continent.

However, just as she had deceived more and more people, a small accident and a small negligence caused the entire sacrifice to come to a halt.

This little accident was naturally caused by the wizard Shaar, who had long been captured by Beth and whose spirit was controlled by the inverted tree.

After listening to Char's story, Thor looked up and down at the spirit in front of him, "How... did you do that?"

Char: "This is my secret weapon. I can't tell you."

Thor didn't make it difficult for him. "Well, you're not my target anyway. But there's one thing you must tell me. What's the reason for your current state?"

Char became irritated, as if introducing his hidden dangers to others made him uncomfortable.

But thinking of his own situation, he quickly gave the answer.

"After my soul was sucked into the Inverted Tree, although I barely maintained my independent consciousness, I had to obey Beth's command in many actions. I was also careful not to be exposed, and only occasionally did I do something of my own to maintain my self-identity."

"Later, when I realized that the entire Inverted Tree was actually absorbing the souls of the city's residents, I knew I had to find a way to leave here. As long as I'm trapped here, I will one day become the nourishment of Beth and the Inverted Tree like those absorbed souls."

"So I prepared a few months later. When Beth ran to the center of the Inverted Tree again, I deliberately took away a key node in her magic circle. When she was trapped by the backlash of the magic circle, I escaped immediately."

"You are so brave!" Kate stretched out her cat claws towards Xia, "Even though Beth is now a spirit, she was once a powerful third-level wizard. If you destroy the magic circle casually, you will really trap her!"

Thor looked at Char and ignored him, knowing there was a secret.

"What happened next?" Thor asked.

Xia then skipped the most critical point. "Afterwards, in order to prevent me from escaping, Beth actually launched her sacrifice in advance and directly pulled in everyone in the inner city to help her stabilize her spirit."

"So now the entire inner city has turned to ashes?" Thor crossed his arms, "The soul has been extracted and the body has turned to ashes."

"Almost," said Char. "Because she absorbed a large number of spirits before she was ready, she is trapped now and cannot come out to catch me. But if she can control herself, she will definitely come and tear me into pieces."

Xia looked solemn, obviously afraid of Beth's threat.

"Then why can't you leave the Upside-Down Tree now? Since you have made so many preparations, you must know how to leave, right?"

"Of course I know, but I won't tell you until you help me get rid of the imprisonment."

"Didn't I tell you that I will help you with your treatment and you will help me find the seeds? The restraints on your body are also a disease for you, so I will naturally help you with your treatment."

Seeing Char's excited and vigilant look, Thor added fuel to the fire, "But, since you have to help me get the seeds of the Inverted Tree anyway, why don't you set a bigger goal when you take action?"

Xia immediately began to doubt Thor's intentions, "What are you going to do? Don't try to deceive me. I can kick you all out at any time here!"

Thor chuckled, not caring about Char's threat at all, and continued to persuade him, "Anyway, you are just a spirit now, which is equivalent to being dead. Even if you escape from the Inverted Tree, you are just lingering on. Why don't you go find Beth and take away her Inverted Tree while she is trapped... How about it?"

"Crack!" Kate heard the sound of her cat's jaw falling to the ground again.

Kate turned her head and looked at Thor in a daze.

Just now he thought that Char was a fool for daring to plot against a third-level wizard, but now Thor was a madman in his eyes.

"You're crazy!" Char directly expressed Kate's thoughts, "You want to find a way to escape, and then trick me into dying!"

"I can wait until you get the seeds of the Upside-Down Tree before I leave."

Xia still didn't believe it, "Then you are planning to do something bad while I am stealing the seeds of the Upside-Down Tree."

Thor's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, "This guy's guess is pretty accurate."

But he remained calm, "Then let me ask you, will you take me to the core of the Inverted Tree?"

Xia was stunned and immediately shook his head, "Impossible!"

Thor spread his hands, "So how do you think I'm going to do something bad?"

Without waiting for Char to think, Thor continued to add, "I can help you heal now. Can't you kick us out at any time? After I finish the treatment, you can help me get the seeds. How about that?"

Xia Ya still hesitated, "Will you be so kind as to treat me first?"

"The spirit is your own. Can't you tell the difference between good and bad?"

Xia was still hesitating.

Thor frowned. Is Char, who is indecisive and afraid of danger, really the right candidate?

Suddenly, the whole house shook violently, and the pendants on the table and above the head shattered to the ground.

Several thick branches came out of the wall, winding upwards, and soon wrapped around the walls of the entire room.

"Meow! What is this? How did the tree roots get here?" Kate immediately ran to the center of the room.

A flash of panic flashed across Char's face, but he did not surrender or resist. Instead, he turned into a ball of light again, and the white light once again engulfed Thor and Kate.

When the light faded, Thor found that they had come to another place.

He had never been here before, so he thought it was another secret base of Char.

"You really don't have much time left." Thor was a little grateful to the tree root that had just appeared. "Are you willing to make this deal? Don't waste other people's time."

Char knew that Thor was right.

After all, he is Beth's puppet. Even if he escapes from her control for a short time, he will be controlled by her again after Beth recovers.

Under the mixture of tension and fear, Thor's proposal, which he had just regarded as a scourge, gradually turned into a fatal temptation.

"If, if we can snatch the Inverted Tree..." Xia seemed to be frightened, or perhaps excited, his whole body was shaking.

"If I could become the master of the upside-down tree, I wouldn't have to run away."

Thor nodded with relief, "Not only do you not have to run away, you also have the hope of resurrection."

Char suddenly looked up at Thor.

"You are a very talented wizard. What Beth can do, can't you do it?"

Char's breathing immediately became heavy, even though he had not needed to breathe for a long time.

"good!"

Finally, Char agreed to Thor's devilish proposal.

"Help me heal now. I'm afraid the tree roots will come back soon. This is a sign that Beth is gradually recovering. We don't have much time."
