Chapter 500 Kent's Compensation

Just as Jonah was thinking about how to persuade the dean to get rid of Thor quickly and politely, Thor had already packed his things and was preparing to leave Archaeologist.

He managed to snatch Anne back from inside the upside-down tree. Although the other party didn't chase her down to the ground, they must have their eyes on Thor.

Furthermore, since Thor has already dealt with Kent, even if the people from Bydon Academy haven't found anything yet, they will definitely start to suspect him over time.

After all, the contamination on Kent's body came about in a very strange way.

In less than an hour, with the help of Agu and Morton, Saul had sorted out all the bottles, jars and materials in the room and put them into the storage device.

As he left his temporary lodgings, Thor noticed someone was watching him, but he ignored it and instead instructed Marsh to drive away at a normal speed.

As the carriage passed through the city gate, no one came out to stop Saul from leaving. Saul also saw Dumar, the second-level apprentice he had met when he entered the city.

Under the observation of Saul's semi-immersive new meditation method, Dumar's head still resembled a monitor.

When Thor turned and glanced at the others, he discovered that several of them had the same problem as Dumar.

At the city entrance not far away, there were still long queues of people waiting to enter the city.

They have no idea what kind of world they are about to enter. Lured by high salaries and a convenient lifestyle, they might not care even if they did know.

Thor peered back and saw that there were very few people leaving the city.

Even the wizard who had been monitoring his movements stopped after Thor left Archista and did not pursue him.

"It seems they haven't discovered the problem with the upside-down tree yet." Thor rolled down the car window and turned to take out a compressed bag.

Penny hadn't been of much help in the previous battle, but now she finally had a chance to speak.

"Brother Thor, you actually stole the Kent Wizard's compressed bag? Hehe, you're getting naughtier and naughtier."

Only Penny dared to speak to Thor like that.

Saul, without batting an eye, began to decipher the code on the compressed bag. "This isn't stealing. Kent deliberately set an ambush in my room and made a big hole in my roof; this is me demanding compensation."

"Yes, yes, that Kent is no good person. He must have been lying in ambush to steal the master's things. I think he's the real ringleader of the thieves."

Penny chuckled and landed on Thor's shoulder, wanting to see just how much wealth the bandit leader of Bydon Academy had.

"Don't get your hopes up too high. Kent has a long-term residence at Bydon Academy, so he probably doesn't carry much with him when he goes out. It's probably some magical tools or materials that he might need in battle."

The anti-hacking features of the compressed bag are not very strong.

It uses spatial magic to compress a larger space into a smaller volume.

The most distinctive feature of this type of witchcraft is that its balance is easily disrupted, causing the compressed space to return to its original state.

With a little manipulation, hackers can disrupt the balance of the compressed baggage, causing the contents to fall out.

Therefore, finding a way to properly safeguard your compact luggage is much more useful than adding several "locks" to it.

Thor didn't take long to break open Kent's compressed bag, and by then the carriage was already far away from Archista.

The gray city walls and towering buildings have become a backdrop behind the trees.

"Huh? This Kent wizard is too poor, isn't he?" Penny leaned closer, glanced at him, and sighed in disappointment.

Although it had anticipated that Kent wouldn't carry all his belongings with him when he went out, it hadn't expected it to be so little.

Thor remained calm, first taking out the magic crystal inside and scanning it with his mental energy.

Less than one hundred.

Thor took out a few more parchments, but instead of the witchcraft he wanted, they contained a diagram of a witchcraft circle.

Since there were no annotations, Thor was temporarily unsure of the magic circle's purpose. He handed the parchment to Agu, who was sitting opposite him.

Agu flipped through it twice, then said hesitantly, "It might be a summoning magic circle."

"Summon what?" Thor asked curiously.

"Well... I can't tell for now, but when I have time, I can try activating the magic circle. We won't have to go to the last step to get a general idea of ​​what will be summoned."

"Could it be a giant tree growing?" Thor wondered with some anticipation.

Dean Pound's giant tree had grown remarkably fast; even standing beside its branches, Thor could feel immense pressure. If he hadn't attacked before Kent, the outcome would have been uncertain.

"It doesn't look as complicated as fourth-tier sorcery. But it's possible that it's hiding real runes."

Sol smiled, sensing the comfort in Agu's words.

He then looked at the remaining items in Kent's compressed bag, which contained only some not-so-rare witchcraft materials.

"Although I know he doesn't take much with him when he goes out, this is still far too little." Penny was clearly not satisfied.

"This also shows that the materials I offered in exchange for the evil spirit were actually quite coveted. Kent's ambush on me might not be because he didn't have those materials. It seems I need to be more careful in the future."

"Sigh, Brother Thor, I can't blame you. Who would have thought that people outside would be so poor?" Penny was already bored. She flew through the carriage wall, wanting to go outside for a stroll.

But it had only been gone for two seconds when it suddenly darted back into the carriage.

"Brother Thor!"

"Shh!" Thor put his index finger to his lips.

He sensed it the moment Penny crawled back.

Something was secretly left behind the carriage.

The thing emitted a faint spiritual energy, was hidden underground, and was gradually approaching them at a speed no slower than that of a carriage.

"Little Algae." Thor gave the command, and the black, tentacle-like vines "whooshed" out of the carriage window and quickly disappeared into the soil.

The carriage did not stop; it had only traveled three or five meters forward when it heard several sounds of metal striking metal coming from behind.

Just as Thor was about to transform into an octopus monster to go out and help Xiaozao, he suddenly sensed the psychic force chasing after him. He paused, reverted to his human form, and jumped off the car.

"Char Aznable, the wizard?"

Thor sensed a familiar fluctuation of mental energy.

To his surprise, the creature that fought with Xiao Zao was the light-colored root that had attacked them several times and had just been severely provoked by Thor!

However, the number of roots before him far exceeded what Thor had encountered before; they were densely packed, like seedlings in a field.

The small algae is engaged in a fierce battle with the roots at the very front.

The roots mainly rely on entanglement to attack, while the small algae mainly rely on biting.

Although small algae can divide, they are ultimately no match for the ever-growing number of roots.

"Char? Is that you?" Thor raised his hand, and a black blade shadow quickly formed above his head.

The dozen or so roots at the very front stopped attacking. They gathered together, their ends pointing upwards, like a person standing there.

The other roots seemed somewhat confused, hovering in mid-air without immediately launching an attack.

The roots that stopped attacking first became entangled and eventually began to vaguely take on a human shape.

Thor kept the black blade suspended in the air and took two steps closer to Char.

"You... you were swallowed by the upside-down tree?"

The human-shaped root system then sprouted new branches, forming the shape of a mouth.

"Damn it, we're too late!"

The wizard Char Aznable never uttered any profanities.

The word that came out of his mouth at this moment was truly filled with bitterness and resentment.
