Chapter 733: Die First
Chapter 733: Die First
The white-bearded wizard collapsed under the crumbling building, leaning his back against the crumbling wall, so mentally exhausted that he could barely stay awake.
At this moment, there was still a very deep, very terrible wound on his chin. It was like a fish’s mouth that had grown on his chin.
The skin cracked and then sagged, revealing white flesh that seemed to rot inside the wound.
The surroundings were dim, but this time the dimness was finally not caused by those black figures.
“I never thought that I, Wilde, would end up in this situation.” Whitebeard, or Wilde carefully touched the wound on his chin.
“It was so hard to heal it, but when I get out, I’m afraid I’ll have to hide for a while again. The wound left by that half-elf is still really troublesome.”
This Wilde was none other than the former president and captain of the Land Rowing Boat Chamber of Commerce.
The original plan was to dismount the mighty Golsara, and then the three families would divide the legacy of the Wizard Tower. This way Wilde could try to advance to the third rank with the help of Golza’s corpse and legacy.
But his plan failed.
There was even no possibility of success at all.
Because at the very beginning, the information he received was inaccurate.
This led to him directly underestimating Golza’s depths.
It also turned this captain who was originally living a good life into a wanted criminal in the Khema Duchy.
If not for Golza’s sudden promotion and departure from the western continent, Wilde’s days would have been much more difficult, he feared.
Of course, he was having a bad time now.
The wounds left from being chased by the half-elf in the beginning had never healed. The half-elf’s combat power wasn’t considered top-notch, what was truly terrifying was the pollution that came with him.
The wounds from being struck by the other party would surprisingly grow on their own, and if they were not suppressed well, the wounds would continue to deteriorate until they turned Wilde into a pile of rotten meat.
But after being injured for a long time, Wilde also found a way to convert the pollution within the wound into his attack power.
It was just that this method hurt people and himself, and he needed to repress the wound after every cast.
Now that Wilde hadn’t been able to leave the city filled with eerie black shadows, he naturally didn’t dare to heal his wounds immediately.
He had been leaning against this ruin for a while now, and hadn’t been attacked again.
Although he was glad, he also felt strange, “Could it be that those black shadows thought they couldn’t kill me and retreated? Otherwise, why didn’t they appear for such a long time? Can’t I find a chance to leave?”
Speaking of leaving, Wilde was a little hesitant again.
He hadn’t yet found Dean Baidon’s method of pushing open the inner gate here, and at the same time, he didn’t know if that method was here, so he wanted to leave, but didn’t want to.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind Wilde.
“You are special.”
It was a woman’s voice.
The voice was a little dark, with no ebb and flow.
It was like a mannequin.
Wilde blanched and jerked back to see a small arm-thick branch somehow poking out of a gap in the wall, with two brown leaves sprouting from the tip.
The two leaves opened and closed.
The woman’s voice was coming from inside.
The woman spoke again as Wilde wondered in disbelief.
“If you are looking for a method to advance to the third rank, I have it here.”
Wilde’s eyes heated up.
Even though he knew that there could be traps and illusions ahead, he couldn’t help but be excited when the clues he had been pursuing for years appeared.
Of course, he was still vigilant on the surface.
“What are you?”
“Beth.”
Wilde was a little puzzled, but soon, he remembered a name that had been buried in the earth long ago, “Bestana? You’re the Beth Tana of No Man’s Land?”
Wilde used to run merchants in the Land of the Lordless often.
Those who were familiar with the history there, as long as they combined the Baidon Academy, the Land of the Lordless, and the powerful sorcerer, they would come up with the name of Bestana.
The ruthless person who lost the battle for power in the Lordless Lands and broke out of the Valley of the Drooping Hand with most of her followers. A ruthless and highly driven third-order sorcerer.
The reason she lost more than anything else was probably against Clarke, who had a background in the Stargate Council.
Otherwise, it was not certain who would lose and who would win!
And even if she lost, she kept her power base and a powerful magical creature with just as much growth.
Thinking of this, Wilde finally realized that the tree root wall, the large tree stump, and this weird night world he saw before, as well as the tree branches in front of him, I’m afraid that they are the magical creatures that Bestana cultivated.
“It turns out that Baidong Academy has always had third-order wizards sitting around.” There was some panic in Wilde’s heart, “The rumors in the outside world don’t match, what with the dean losing control of his alienation due to pushing the door I’m afraid that it’s also a bait to attract us wild second-order wizards over.”
If he knew that there were still third-order sorcerers within Baidong Academy, he would definitely not break into Baidong Academy again.
However, Wilde was not desperate at this point, after all, the Bestana in front of him was still communicating with him.
Having communication meant that there was a need.
In other words, he still had value to utilize.
Thinking about it, the air of a former Chamber of Commerce president returned to Wilde.
“Lord Wizard Bestana, please forgive me for unintentionally intruding into your territory.”
“No need for nonsense.”
The leaves on the opposite side of the tree didn’t want to listen to Wilde at all.
“The spirit power in you is special, and you can enter the tree heart space. I want you to come in and capture a spirit body, and if you can do that, I will tell you the method to advance to the third stage of pushing the door, and I can also provide you with the spiritual power you need to advance.”
“But if you can’t do it, and can’t satisfy me. Then you will become my sustenance.”
This time, the voice still had no highs or lows, but it brought with it an eerie chill that made Wilde’s entire body shiver with sweat.
“At your command, I wonder what I need to do?” Wilde endured the pain in his jaw and tried to smile.
There was no way, with low strength, there wasn’t even a chance for conditions.
“Die first.”
An icy cold voice rang out, and the tree branch that had just looked like a calm exchange suddenly moved.
Wilde didn’t even have time to react before the branch penetrated his head.
Afterwards, the branch stained with red and white sap slowly withdrew, and the brown leaves were still speaking in that choppy tone.
“You are not completely dead yet, if you fulfill my account, I will send you back and help you advance. If you can’t fulfill it, you don’t have to come back.”
The branch slowly retracted back into the crack in the wall.
“Now, let’s go to the tree heart space.”
……
Thor’s tentacles pulled out of the gap between Shia’s brow bones.
Kate, the orange cat on the sidelines, watched as the corners of her eyes twitched along with her whiskers.
“Damn, if someone’s going to stick a tentacle inside my skull to heal it, then I’d rather die.” Kate muttered mentally.
In marked contrast to Kate’s shock was the fact that neither the healer nor the healed were uncomfortable with the treatment.
Even Shaya curiously stuck her finger inside when she touched the round hole in her brow.
“So amazing! So you really are a healer!” Shia had a calm smile on his face, completely different from the previous him whose nerves were incredibly tense, “How did you do it? Not only did you suppress Beth’s manipulative power over me, you also ……”
Halfway through his words, Shia seemed to realize something and closed his mouth again.
Saul lowered his eyes, “I knew there was another abnormality in you besides Beth’s control. I’m afraid it’s also because of this abnormality that you were able to temporarily get rid of the Inverted Tree’s control over you. Is this your biggest secret?”
Seeing that Saul tacitly refrained from mentioning the other kind of contamination in his body, Shia was slightly relieved and gradually grew to have some good feelings towards Saul.
This was actually the effect of the other contamination in his body being suppressed.
The perceptive Saul naturally noticed Shia’s change, “By the way, this thing is lent to you, you should be able to use it when you go to the Tree Heart Space to steal tree seeds.”
He stepped forward, using his own body to block the line of sight of Kate next to him, and handed over a small thing into Shia’s hands.
At the same time, he also blocked Shaya s face, so that Kate, who was behind him, could not see an eye with colored pupils that …… suddenly emerged from the round hole in Shaya s brow.
