Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 180 No Compromise

Saul was left all alone in the corridor.

He looked around and saw several white doors in the corridor, which were probably rooms containing various dangerous documents.

At the end of the book corridor, there appeared the ramp that Saul was familiar with.

"These should be the floors that belong exclusively to the tower master, but I don't know exactly which floor it is."

Floors 18 through 21 of the Wizard Tower are the Tower Master's territory; no one else is allowed to live or conduct research here.

There are no signs on each floor of the Wizard's Tower, which is quite inconvenient.

The fact that Saul was able to enter here to read books already indicates that he has gained Gorsa's initial approval.

However, to truly gain Gorza's approval, Thor still needs to pass a series of tests.

The dangerous mission at the end of May was part of it, and it won't be the last.

"If I overcome all the trials and tribulations to reach the end, what awaits me?"

Yura, the horde of corpses, Mentor Kaz, Mentor Rum, Kongsa... these figures flashed through Thor's mind like a revolving lantern.

He walked expressionlessly to the door with the golden magic circle drawn on it and inserted his left little finger into the keyhole.

Unlike normal door locks, Thor felt something wrap around his finger bones, then quickly loosen.

Then the white door suddenly popped open a crack.

Thor pushed open the door, and a study with white as the main color came into view. Directly opposite was a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

The sun is shining brightly.

Thor turned around and closed the door.

"No matter what, I will not become a ghost that lingers eternally beneath the wizard's tower."

"Whether Gorza is training me to be his experiment or genuinely trying to make me his assistant, I'm not going to let this opportunity slip by!"

"Let them scheme and manipulate, no one in this world is born obligated to be kind to anyone else!"

"In the wizarding world, even stagnation is a mistake. If we give up now, we might as well have died as servants in the first place."

"Isn't that right, my dear Diary?"

Thor twisted his neck from side to side, glancing at the diary floating quietly on his left shoulder.

Which of these books are suitable for me to read now?

……

Saul disappeared into the depths of the library, but that evening he came down from the floor where the tower master was located.

The matter did not spread, but a few observant people who had been keeping an eye on his movements noticed it.

The 16th floor of the East Tower is Professor Anze's dormitory.

If Rum had to live in a cramped corner of his spacious dormitory due to health reasons, Anze rarely went out simply because he found it troublesome.

He had the most apprentices among the five mentors, and almost all research and experiments were done by his apprentices. Anze was mainly responsible for overseeing the progress and controlling the direction.

Today, after hearing that Thor had come down from the 18th floor, he immediately had someone summon Luo Kai, the president of the mutual aid association.

Have you noticed Saul's movements lately?

When facing his mentor, Luo Kai also had a playful and smiling face.

"Hehe, of course. You told me to keep an eye on Thor's movements at all times, so I naturally put all my energy into him."

"Any discoveries?"

"Sol, he killed a level three apprentice with ease. The Tower reports him missing, but it won't be long before it's confirmed as dead. We just don't know how he did it yet."

Anze closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "That level three apprentice, did you send him there?"

"Yes, hehehe."

Luo Kai, 27 years old, has been at the second-level apprenticeship stage for more than ten years.

This prolonged stagnation in the same stage has made people forget that he was once a brilliant wizarding apprentice.

All his glory was overshadowed by Bill, Billy, Wright and others who came later, and he seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, running the mutual aid society every day and running errands for mentor Anze.

Have fun.

But few people know that Luo Kai is actually one of An Ze's key figures.

He was like a fisherman going out to sea, his hands full of nets.

"Ferguson's lightning erupted the very day Thor took over the second warehouse. Heh heh, with his reckless and arrogant nature, he'll definitely make a move against Thor. Although Thor is talented, he's no match for Ferguson. Not to mention, Ferguson's lightning is exactly what counters him."

Luo Kai smugly explained his plans to An Ze bit by bit.

"Next, once we find Ferguson's body, we can confirm whether it was the great Tower Master who saved Thor."

Anze clasped his hands together. "Gorsa never interferes in the struggles between apprentices. His appearance outside the tower to save Thor and Wright could be explained as driving away an enemy. But if he saved Thor under Ferguson…"

"That means Thor is extremely important to him!" Roca's eyes lit up.

"That's right." Anze leaned back and comfortably sank into the soft cushions of the sofa.

"Next, I will arrange for Kukin to befriend him. This way, we can get a preliminary understanding of his movements. Once he leaves the tower, whatever we want to do will be up to you."

To everyone's surprise, Anze raised one hand and said, "No need."

Luo Kai was taken aback.

"From now on, react as normally as possible."

Luo Kai didn't quite understand, but he didn't ask immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered with a smile on his face.

"Hehehe...hehehe..."

He gradually smiled. "I understand what you mean. The most normal reaction would be to withdraw all those monitoring him."

Anze nodded. "Luo Kai, you've always been smart enough."

Luo Kai's laughter grew more and more exaggerated, a smug expression spreading from the corners of his eyes to the tips of his eyebrows.

"Then I won't disturb your rest any longer." Luo Kai bowed deeply, maintaining his posture facing An Ze, and slowly backed away.

Just as he was closing the door, he heard Anze's voice coming from inside again.

"You're still three years away from turning thirty, are you getting anxious?"

"Of course not, Professor. I don't like to settle."

After saying that, Luo Kai gently closed the door.

Anze closed his eyes and heard the sounds outside the door gradually fade away.

She whispered, "Me too."

……

Saul spent ten days reading in the white room on the 18th floor.

He even found formulas for two other synthetic esters in it.

One of the diaries indicated that he couldn't read it yet, so Saul focused on studying another one.

He discovered that this spiritual ester, named Dead Soul Eye, also had a weakness: it was afraid of sunlight.

However, this weakness is not like Thor's plastic bones, which melt upon exposure to light. Instead, it only weakens the Dead Eye's abilities when exposed to strong light, and some finishing moves become unusable.

Furthermore, several improvement ideas were written at the end of the formula, but due to the high cost of verification, they have not yet entered the practical stage.

As Thor looked at the improved weakness of the Dead Soul Eye, he suddenly had some new ideas about his own plastic bones.

Of course, after arriving at the Tower Master's private library, he devoted most of his energy to the study of souls. After reading several experimental reports, Thor had to admit that he had not yet formally entered the field of soul research.

No wonder the tower master always said that one must be at least a third-level apprentice to be qualified to be his assistant.

Thor decides to embark on a spiritual journey after reshaping his plastic bones.

This will be done in conjunction with his selection of the GPS device.

As for what direction and theme to choose for the research project... I'll have to keep a diary about it later.

So engrossed in his book, Saul completely forgot his promise to Kongsa.

That evening, as he walked along, carrying notes he had taken in his private library, he bumped into a slender back.

The person who was hit didn't move, but Saul took two steps back.

"sorry!"

Since it was his own fault for not looking where he was going and bumping into someone, Thor immediately apologized.

As a result, the other person turned around, her delicate fingers lifting the wide hood to reveal half of her beautiful face.

I've collected 1000 monthly passes, thank you everyone! I'm so sorry I have to take a break right after collecting them; I'll try to make up for it over the weekend~
