As night fell, the tower gradually shrank into darkness.
After simply filling their stomachs, Sabrina and Billis each hid in a room and never came out again.
There was a dead silence inside the quiet and dark tower, only a little dim candlelight flickered through the narrow and slender stone windows. In the light and shadow, it seems that a tall figure is checking every room in the tower floor by floor.
Greem was walking in the narrow and empty dark corridor, holding a small candlestick in his hand, and the 5 candles that were as thick as a thumb gave off a faint yellow and hazy candlelight. The light from the candlesticks couldn't even illuminate the walls on both sides, it could barely cover Greem in it.
While holding the candlestick and walking slowly in the corridor, Greem muttered in a low voice.
"Come out... You should come out too... You can't keep hiding like this, can you?"
Finally, just as Greem walked to the corner of the corridor on the second floor, the wooden door of a secret room suddenly opened strangely.
Greem smiled lightly, and slowly walked to the wooden door holding the candlestick.
The wooden door was half open, and a black footprint was clearly printed on the floor in front of the door. Judging from the shape and size, it was only half the size of a human, and it seemed to be left by a small humanoid creature.
Greem tapped lightly with the witch stick in his left hand, and the wooden door was completely opened, and the candlelight was projected in, illuminating everything in the room.
Dusty floors, simple and decayed tables and chairs, and some red wooden boxes piled up in the corners. And in the darkness where the light was insufficient, a pale figure with disheveled hair was standing there, scarlet eyes fixed on Greem through the gaps in the long hair, filled with a chilling vicious aura.
Greem was unmoved, and strode into the secret room. The candlelight in the house became brighter, and there were fewer and fewer shadows to hide in. Finally, the pale figure could only crouch in the darkness behind the wooden box, making a creepy weeping sound.
Just when Greem was about to make another move, the wooden door behind him suddenly slammed shut. Greem couldn't help but look back, but when he turned his head again, the 'ghost' guy had disappeared.
"Chip, have you recorded what happened just now? Did you find anything?" Greem felt a little nervous, and couldn't help but communicate with the chip.
"I sensed abnormal changes in the force field... The main body is in an unknown force field range, and the mental fluctuations have been polluted by unknown reasons... Please stay away from the source of the force field as soon as possible, please stay away from the source of the force field as soon as possible..." At the end, it was Even the mechanical sound of the chip became a little fluctuating.
From the chip's awakening until now, Greem has never had any doubts about its judgment.
So as soon as he received the reminder from the chip, he waved his witchcraft staff, and a fist-sized witchcraft fireball blew open the wooden door of the secret room, and then his body suddenly turned into a ball of slowly exploding flames and disappeared on the spot.
In the deserted garden in front of the bluestone tower, a ball of flame suddenly appeared, and after a while, the flame disappeared, and Greem's tall body appeared there.
As soon as he got out of the scope of the stone tower, a strange light 'huh' sound suddenly sounded in the darkness on the top floor of the stone tower.
Greem's red eyes followed the sound and scanned the past, only to find the strange guy sitting cross-legged on the top of the stone tower.
It was a beautiful fox with bright yellow fur and a white scarf around his neck.
At this moment, it was looking at Greem who suddenly appeared in the garden in surprise, and in its hand, a dark red strange rune was flashing and emitting obscure and strange fluctuations.
For some reason, when Greem's mental power touched this fluctuation, the scene in front of him became blurred and confused. A heavy breathing sound sounded strangely behind him, and the sound seemed to be very close to him.
The chip in his mind released a slight biological current, and Greem, who was stimulated, broke free from the uncontrollable illusion in an instant.
Spiritual witchcraft
Greem, who understood everything in an instant, didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He slammed his witch staff on the ground, and shot out a thick sun ray from the dark red crystal on the head of the staff, hitting the strange fox on the top of the tower viciously.
"You are really weird, you can resist the illusion that I have been preparing for so long. Hehe, today is your fate, we will see you later..." The fox standing on the top of the tower swept its tail, Greem shot a strange witchcraft It deflected a bit, and flew into the sky rubbing its body.
And after all this was done, the fox didn't stay any longer, crushed the dark red rune in his palm, and disappeared into the deep night with a vertical leap.
Greem didn't try to catch up.
Such a weird wizard always likes to set up an ambush to lure the enemy into a trap, and chasing them rashly is definitely not a good thing. I closed my eyes and sensed it, and the chip still scanned the strange force field fluctuations in the tower. It seemed that the source of the force field did not disappear with the departure of the mysterious enemy.
Greem couldn't help being slightly startled by this, since he suddenly realized it.
Immediately, he seemed to remember something, took out three Ion Stones and threw them above his head, and then forcibly broke into the bluestone tower again.
A moment later, the flames exploded, and Greem rushed out of the tower again, holding Sabrina and Billis in a deep illusion, one in each hand.
The two were clearly sleeping, but their breathing became more and more urgent, and their bodies trembled even more uncontrollably.
Greem squatted beside the two of them, calling softly a few times, but the two of them didn't notice anything.
Gently opening the eyelids of the two, Billis had obviously begun to roll his eyes white, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse and madness. Although Sabrina is slightly better than him, she can't last long.
Greem frowned.
Although he pulled the two of them out of the source of the force field, their mental fluctuations have been seriously polluted, and it may be extremely difficult to escape the pull of the mysterious force field independently.
Greem didn't dare to hesitate any longer, placed the two of them side by side, and then heavily inserted the 'Destroying Flame' staff between them. When Greem swiped his hands quickly in the void, drawing strange flame runes one after another, the witch staff also began to tremble slightly, and scattered red lights wafted from the dark red crystal.
Under the guidance of Greem, these red lights fell on the two apprentices one after another.
As soon as the red light touched the body, the two couldn't help their bodies trembling violently. Billis, who had poor endurance, couldn't help but started rolling all over the floor.
"It hurts... it hurts... what is this... it hurts me to death..."
Billis screamed and got up from the ground, slapping the burning flames on his body as if he was waking up from a dream. But when he opened his eyes, he found strangely that his body was still intact and hadn't been charred as in the dream.
Just as he was looking around in bewilderment, Sabrina, whose body was shaking like a sieve, suddenly sat up, and the dark red light that was frightening came out from the pupils of her mechanical eyes.
When her eyes fell on Greem, she immediately rolled over and got up.
"My lord, did you save me?" Sabrina couldn't help asking.
"Rescue?" Billis next to him obviously didn't understand the situation: "Did the enemy come just now?"
"Well, he's a strange wizard who looks like a fox. He seems to be better at spiritual witchcraft. Even I was almost taken aback..." Speaking of this, Greem's black pupils also flashed with anger.
"Isn't there a witch formation protection in the tower?" Sabrina asked suspiciously: "Why are we still being plotted against without the protection of a witch formation?"
Greem sneered.
"Because it's the witch array in the tower who plotted against us?"
"ah… "
"ah!"
Sabrina and Billis looked horrified at the same time.
"If my guess is correct, that guy should have known that we would come here." Greem squinted his eyes and explained, "That's why he got ahead of us and tampered with the witch formation in the stone tower."
"How could he have the authority to control the stone tower?"
"He doesn't need to have the control authority of the stone tower. Anyway, due to the lack of energy in the previous stone tower, most of the defensive wizard arrays have been closed, so he took the opportunity to add something to the wizard array. In this way, when we come, the wizard array will be closed. The activation of the core of the tower is equivalent to attracting the enemy. And..." Speaking of this, Greem couldn't help narrowing his eyes.
"And what?" Billis couldn't help asking.
"Moreover, this enemy is very cunning. I also took great pains to plot against me. He even secretly carved a witchcraft statement in the third-floor residence, and then tempted me to read it out. In this way, he has my spiritual beacon and can have A targeted attack on my mind. You two are not the people he wants to deal with, but you just happen to be staying in the Wu Tower and have been affected by the aftermath of spiritual witchcraft."
"Then... my lord, how did you save us? Could it be that you also mastered some spiritual witchcraft?" This is actually what Sabrina and Billis are most concerned about.
"Hmph, I'm taking the route of the fire witch, how can I touch those mysterious spiritual witchcraft." Greem sneered: "If you recall how you got rid of the illusion, you will know what method I used !"
Hearing this, Billis scratched his scalp, his eyes lost in memories with a melancholy look.
"I remember that during my adventures in the Black Forest, I suddenly encountered a group of terrifying zombies. There were too many of them, and I couldn't kill them cleanly. In the end, my magic power was exhausted, and I was pulled into the tomb by them... "Speaking of this, Billis showed an unbearable horror expression on his face: "Just when I felt that I was about to be torn to pieces by them, a fire fell from the sky and completely ignited me. Those fires burned on my body , It really hurts, it hurts... It hurts so much that I came out of the dream as soon as I was shocked!"
Listening to Billis' narration and comparing it with her own experience, Sabrina vaguely understood Wizard Greem's methods.
The flame that Master Huomo urges has the unique property of burning the soul, so it is undoubtedly the most suitable for awakening the two people who are sleeping.
It's just that when I think of myself being burned into coke by a strange fire in my dream, my mind is completely clear, and I can clearly remember every detail of my body when it was scorched. Although this painful experience saved my life, it is still an unbearable pain in retrospect!
