Chapter 393 Traces

"Not coming?" Seeing that Sol was still not coming up, Jero shrugged, his expression less excited, "We are in a hurry, let's go first."

Luo Kai didn't get in the car either, and was still standing behind Sol.

It seemed that he appeared here just to say goodbye to the two of them.

He smiled and waved goodbye to Jero and Byron. Jero waved indifferently, but Byron had already turned around and had no intention of saying hello to Luo Kai.

This move is in line with Byron's character.

Sol's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, "Okay, then I'll ask you questions when Senior Byron comes back."

Byron, who was already hiding in the shadow of his cloak, nodded slightly.

The carriage gradually drove away under the watchful eyes of Sol and Luo Kai.

"Thor, how come your strength increases so much every time you go out?"

At this time, Luo Kai seemed to notice the changes in the magic power fluctuations on Thor's body, and the smile on his face suddenly became much bitterer.

Sol had no interest in chatting with Luo Kai and just nodded, "Unexpected. I'm going back first, senior Luo Kai."

Such a perfunctory answer made Luo Kai raise his right eyebrow.

But before he could say anything, Thor had already turned around and left, his black apprentice robe undulating slightly in the air.

When Sol went up the passage, Luo Kai still stood there. He looked away from Sol's back, turned his head and continued to look in the direction in which the carriage left.

When the carriage was covered by woods and couldn't see clearly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Thor hurried back directly to...the apprentice dormitory located on the 12th floor of the West Tower.

Because of laziness and not going back to the dormitory for a long time, Sol did not change the dormitory after he was promoted to a third-level apprentice.

When he came back this time, he rarely went to the second warehouse to sort out his gains and experiences. Instead, after entering the door, he casually threw his compressed luggage, robes and other items on the ground.

He himself sat down on the high-backed wooden chair with a pop.

Then, without stopping for a moment, the soul left the body!

A spirit body invisible to the naked eye emerges from the body.

The spirit body on Thor's face trembled like water ripples for a moment, and then turned into the current appearance of his body.

The spirit body's feet lifted off the ground and flew upward.

Since completing the second witch body transformation, Thor rarely takes the initiative to leave his body.

Firstly, because of the warning from the tower master, and secondly, because of the experience of Yula and others.

He often warned himself not to get carried away just because he could leave his body at will.

But I can’t go out today!

Because when he saw Byron in the carriage, he initially thought there was nothing wrong with his behavior.

It was just the act of acting together with Jero and Luo Kai that made Thor feel that something was wrong.

So Sol subconsciously activated his habitual action-semi-immersed meditation.

Because this action has become a memory of his muscles and body, when it is activated, people around him will not even feel any difference in his state.

But it was just such a look that suddenly shocked Thor to the point where all the blood in his body froze.

Under ordinary conditions, the normal overflow of magic and spiritual power he felt from Byron turned into thin black threads like worms drilled out of pores from the perspective of semi-immersed meditation.

And on Byron's face, from the midpoint of his head to the neck covered by his collar... there was actually a thin black line running through it.

After seeing this line, all of Sol's uneasiness and doubts disappeared.

He didn't raise his fists, didn't frown, and even relaxed his tense muscles slightly.

Under his calm appearance, the surging blood in his body was as quiet as a whirlpool under the deep sea.

He could even say goodbye to Luo Kai politely and distantly as before.

But when he entered the dormitory and was out of sight of others, the suppressed tension in his body made him tremble from the inside out, and his movements became messy.

Despite this, he still successfully completed his out-of-body experience in one go and quickly flew upwards.

Except for some special places, there are no partitions for spirits between the floors of the Wizard Tower.

Thor arrived at Byron's dormitory smoothly and saw a messy room.

There is nothing unusual about this mess. Saul has been to Byron several times and his dormitory has always been this messy.

Even the debris he saw dumped on the ground when he came last time still maintained its original distribution pattern.

As Sol walked, his eyes scanned the whole room.

Little has changed in the room.

"Senior Byron should not have left the wizard tower recently. He usually conducts experiments in the dormitory. The dormitory is blessed with a defensive witchcraft circle, and ordinary apprentices should not be able to break through. Didn't something happen to him here?"

But if Byron hadn't been in the dormitory, it would have been difficult for Saul to find where he was attacked.

"But no matter what, this is the place where he appears most often. If there are no clues here, look for them elsewhere." While thinking, Sol walked inside.

Then he saw Byron's surroundings were messy, but there was a neat area of ​​long tables and experimental benches in the middle.

"There are some signs of damage in the center of the desk... He wouldn't do experiments on the desk."

Thor immediately understood that he had discovered something unusual.

He bent down, brought his eyes level with the tabletop, and carefully observed the uneven marks.

"It should be a kind of magic with corrosive properties." Thor stretched out his translucent fingers and gently outlined an area along the traces of corrosion.

"This size should be about the size of a book." Saul stood up, looked down at the table, and laughed to himself, "Aren't the things placed on the table usually all books?"

If the books or papers were destroyed by Senior Byron himself, there is no need to corrode the desktop.

Moreover, the nature of this power is different from the witchcraft that Senior Byron is used to.

Someone destroyed the things here, even wiping the surface of the table without leaving traces in order to eliminate the things left on the table.

"To penetrate into the desktop... it should be a piece of paper. And it should be a piece of paper that has just been written on."

Sol stood there and closed his eyes.

Byron took out a piece of paper and wrote some words or symbols on the paper. Then something happened and the paper disappeared. The traces left by force on the bottom of the paper were easily erased.

Thor opened his eyes.

"Did the senior discover something? So the things were taken away or destroyed, and he..."

Sol was reluctant to continue thinking about it.

But when he recalled Byron, who was covered in black worms and had a black crack in the center of his head, he had to recognize the reality - Senior Byron in such a state could not be alive!

Sol's hands smashed hard against the long table, hitting the slightly corroded table top.

But as a spirit body, he could only let his fists pass through the wood and fall into the air powerlessly.

Just like how powerless he felt at this moment.

"Luo Kai! Jero!"

Senior Byron's death must be related to the two of them!

They killed Byron and took his body away!

Thor's translucent eyes were stained with gray bloodshot eyes, and the surrounding skin gradually softened.

Slender octopus-like tentacles poked out from under his skin, twisting and twisting, as if they were turning Thor into a terrifying monster.

Although his appearance is no longer human, Thor's heart is not as twisted as it appears on the outside.

On the contrary, it was the venting outside his body that made his mind clearer.

"They must have deliberately taken the person away to hide the news of their death. After all, if you leave the Wizard Tower, you will not be considered dead until you come back for at least half a year. Senior Byron, did you discover some information, or...are you trying to convey something to me?

Was the information silenced?”

The transparent hands, which still barely maintained a human form, slowly pulled out of the wood, and at the same time brushed a quill lying sideways.

There was some ink on the tip of the quill pen, and there were also a few sporadic drops on the table. It seemed that the pen had dropped and splashed on the table.

Although Byron's dormitory is messy, it is not dirty.

The ink should have come from the quill dropped when Byron was in the accident.

Saul looked at the pen steadily, with sadness and anger stubbornly trying to break through the bottom line of his rationality.

"After the quill fell, there was no trace of movement. The person who took action... solved Byron almost instantly. This person must not be an apprentice! Is it a mentor, or is it Goltha?"

As he looked at it, Thor suddenly squinted his eyes. He seemed to see what traces he saw on the quill holder?

The tentacles on his body began to shrink, and Thor once again dropped to a height parallel to the table.

The feather pen shaft is on the thin side and its hardness is not very high.

Sol saw a character that seemed to be carved with fingernails on the penholder where his thumb held the pen.

No magic was used, and the traces were very shallow. If you weren't looking carefully at the items here, you would never notice it.

There is a "grey" character written on the pen barrel.

Third update!
