Chapter 88 Exposed
Thor didn't wait for Kongsha's answer.
He didn't really expect an answer.
After leaving Kongsha's room, he continued to go up, passing through the dark corridor, ignoring the whispers coming from the darkness in the distance, and went straight to the fourteenth floor of the West Tower.
Dormitory 1416.
This is Senior Byron’s new home.
After being promoted, wizard apprentices can choose to move to the corresponding floor, or they can choose not to move if it is too troublesome.
But most people choose to move, after all, the hardware facilities are very different.
Today was the first time that Thor came to Byron's dormitory to see him, and it was late at night. He wondered if senior Byron was sleeping.
We can’t expect all apprentices to be night owls like Kong Sha.
Thor knocked on the door three times gently, then put his hand down and planned to wait for a while.
However, the next second the dormitory door opened automatically inward.
"Huh?" Thor poked his head in to take a look, but didn't see anyone in the living room.
He walked in.
The living room was a mess, as if the owner had gone to sleep while moving. There were many boxes that were open and the things inside had not been taken out. Some boxes were piled high, blocking the whole view of the room.
"Senior, Senior Byron?"
No one responded.
Thor thought that Senior Byron should not be here. After all, with the mental strength of a third-level apprentice, it was impossible for him to sleep until now without waking up.
No one was there, but the dormitory door was not locked. Could it be that the door was left open for me?
Thor took two steps forward, "traversed mountains and rivers", and finally found the experimental table hidden behind the big box.
The lab table was also very messy, with countless things placed on it. However, there was a palm-sized blank area in the middle of the table, on which a letter was placed.
The letter reads "For Thor's Use Only."
"The handwriting is still so ugly." Thor shook his head and sighed, then picked up the letter and unfolded it.
The letter reads:
Only Thor can touch this paper. If anyone else touches it, don't look at it and go and detoxify it. You have 10 left to live.
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,…
Saul, I have received the first mission of a third-level apprentice. I need to go out for a while. I owe you eight credits during this period. If you are in a hurry, you can use the red potion on the table to offset it. If you are not in a hurry, you can continue to repay me when I come back.
Unfortunately, I don't have many friends in the wizard tower, and no one owes me credits, so I can't entrust you to someone else's care. Please take good care of yourself. I hope to see you alive when I come back. If you die, the eight credits will be written off.
I also hope that I can successfully complete my first mission and come back alive. If you are afraid that I will die, you can also take the red potion as collateral.
That's all. Goodbye.
By the way, if the other person who got the letter is your friend, you can tell them that the letter is not poisonous and there is no need to find an antidote. If not, forget it.
I still owe you eight credits of Byron.
After reading the letter, Thor couldn't help laughing out loud.
He obviously hadn't told Senior Byron the countdown joke. I don't know how he came up with it. He looks so stupid, but sometimes he can be strangely smart.
He originally wanted to ask Senior Byron about the issue of spirit esters, but now it seems there is no way to ask. He can only hope that Senior Byron returns safely.
Thor didn't move the red potion, leaving it standing on the table. He didn't check what the potion was, for fear that he would not be able to control himself.
Thor destroyed the letter and left the dormitory that was like a garbage dump.
After returning to the corridor, the dormitory door closed automatically again. Thor believed that it would not open easily again this time.
"Senior Byron has also left. It seems that I can only ask Senior Mark tomorrow. Although he knows that I have undergone witch body transformation, he is not clear about the materials involved. He probably won't associate spirit ester with it."
Thor turned around and prepared to go back to bed.
At this moment, he suddenly saw his shadow on the ground, and it seemed that there was something extra.
There was a thin object flashing behind the neck.
Thor immediately became alert, stopped and prepared spells and potions.
He raised his left hand and slowly touched his neck.
At the same time, his peripheral vision was paying attention to the shadows on the ground.
Until his hand touched the skin on the back of his neck, Thor didn't feel anything strange.
There was no other change in the shadow on the ground.
"Is it my imagination, or has the thing left?"
Thor entered into semi-immersive meditation again and scanned his surroundings, but found no unusual spirits.
But he did not relax. Instead, he remained highly alert and slowly left the dormitory area for the third-level apprentices.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he entered his dormitory.
"It is indeed very dangerous to walk in the tower at night. Now Kong Sha and Byron are not in the tower, so we should not go out in the middle of the night in the future."
…
After lunch the next day, Saul hurried to Professor Katz's laboratory, hoping to buy common sense from Senior Mark.
Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard voices of conversation coming from inside.
"...It's good that you can endure hardships like this. If your uncle had been more diligent, he wouldn't have left the Wizard Tower at the age of thirty."
"I will continue to work hard, Senior Cole. Um, can I do the experiment with you?"
"That's fine. Anyway, you have been doing experiments here with Mark before, so you should have experience. It also saves me from looking for assistants everywhere."
"Thank you so much, Senior Cole!"
"You're welcome. I'll feel much better doing experiments with a cute girl like you."
Hearing this, Thor walked in and saw the second-level apprentice named Cole with one hand on Angela's shoulder.
Cole was a little fat, but he had a warm smile on his face and seemed to have a gentle personality.
Angela still had a smile on her face, and didn't seem to notice anything was wrong.
Seeing someone coming in, Cole naturally withdrew his hand and nodded to Thor.
"This is Instructor Kaz's laboratory. What can I do for you?"
"Hello, senior. I want to look for Senior Mark. Is he not here anymore?"
Angela reminded Cole softly.
Cole raised an eyebrow, then his smile widened.
"So you are Thor, the first-level apprentice that the mentor values the most." He walked towards Thor. "He has gone out for training, and now I have taken over Mark's original job. You can ask me if you have any questions."
The other party seemed very enthusiastic.
Thor thanked him politely.
"Thank you, Senior. But I came to see Senior Mark to return something to him. Since he is out, I will wait for him to come back. I will go back first. Goodbye, Senior."
Cole was a little disappointed to see Thor leave so soon, but he didn't stop him. He just invited him to come over often when he was free.
Thor said a few perfunctory words, glanced at Angela who was standing silently behind Cole, and left the laboratory.
Back in the corridor, Thor was a little confused. He never expected that the three seniors he was familiar with had all left the Wizard Tower overnight.
The next step is to go to the library to look for a needle in a haystack.
There were very few people in the library. Whether they came to borrow books or return books, they were all in a hurry and didn't want to stay any longer.
As soon as Thor walked into the library, he found that the anxious middle-aged man who had been sitting on the left was not there.
Who accidentally touched the "holographic image" again?
"Are you here to borrow a book?" A very arrogant voice came from the right.
Thor turned his head and saw a young man of about eighteen or nineteen looking down at him with his chin raised.
"If you want to borrow a book, go in. If you don't want to borrow a book, get out."
After a closer look, the arrogant young man and the anxious middle-aged man looked 90% similar.
