Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 202 Let's see who has more backup plans.

The diary didn't warn me, so Ralph probably won't be able to get out.

Thor turned his head and looked at the knight Olaf, who was standing there in a daze.

The resentment on his face had vanished, leaving him dumbfounded, like a fool.

She seems a little sad.

Thor narrowed his eyes, channeling his mental energy to carefully examine Olaf's spirit.

Another face appeared on Olaf's face.

That face was that of the butler, Hunter, and it was like a mask covering the knight's head.

All the knight's pain and resentment stemmed from the butler's face.

"Your form is quite unique, even more powerful than many wizard apprentices I've seen. Are you really just a butler without any magic?" Thor asked curiously.

Hunter was taken aback at first, then looked over with a sinister gaze. "I underestimated you. You looked like just a wandering second-level apprentice, but I didn't expect you to have so many good things."

His face still bore a trace of sadness. "I am indeed just an ordinary butler... but my wisdom far surpasses that of you man-eating wizards! If it weren't for my lack of magical talent, no wizard in the entire Bloodthorn family could compare to me! These idiots have wasted so many resources, unable to even understand such simple rune structures. If it weren't for my lack of magic... if it weren't for my lack of magic..."

Amidst his self-pity, the butler Hunter seemed to have calmed down a bit, staring blankly at Saul with his lifeless eyes.

"Kid, you win. You're a lucky guy. I couldn't protect the glory of Bloodthorn, and it fell into the hands of a nobody like you. But you're smarter than I thought. Perhaps the Bloodthorn family's legacy can still be carried on in your hands."

"Heh heh." Hunter gave a bitter laugh. "Now, kill me."

Thor stared at Hunter in silence. He finally realized that Hunter was just like him, with excellent mental strength but poor magical aptitude.

They were even worse than me, not even qualified to enter the wizarding world.

My magical talent isn't enough; I need to find a way to improve it in order to continue learning and advancing in rank.

The knowledge of wizards is not simple knowledge; it also carries a certain degree of radiation and pollution.

If Thor hadn't withstood the transformation of his body and greatly increased his magical power, he wouldn't have been able to continue learning more profound knowledge, and would have remained a first-level apprentice for his entire life.

As he later learned, wizard apprentices who remained at one stage for too long would eventually die from unknown corruption.

In other words, a first-level apprentice or a second-level apprentice could be corrupted and turn into a monster at any time after the age of thirty.

Perhaps it was because the butler Hunter knew this that he ultimately remained outside the gates of the wizarding world.

He only dared to peek through his longing eyes at the wonders and dangers inside the door from time to time.

On the contrary, after his death, or rather after he was turned into a witchcraft tool, his remarkable spiritual talent finally found a place to be used.

Not only did he help his master escape Victor's plot, but he also almost outmaneuvered Saul.

Thor felt a little bit of respect for such a person.

He then raised his hand, and several transparent worms appeared on his arm. One of them flew out and landed on Hunter's face.

As death approached, a hint of fear appeared on Hunter's face, but a smile also crept onto his lips.

"It's finally over. I can go and join my master now."

However, when the transparent worm landed on Hunter's face, it did not immediately corrode his soul.

"No, not at all." Thor suddenly smiled and took out the blood-red magic crystal from his pocket, tossing it gently.

The knight's vengeful spirit, whose feet were still attached to the magic crystal, moved up and down involuntarily.

"Let's talk about whether there are any other traps inside the magic crystal. For example, did you tamper with those scrolls?"

The butler, who had been waiting to die with his eyes closed, immediately stared wide-eyed at Thor, his face revealing a hint of shock and fear.

"You...you..."

"How would I know you tampered with it? Hmm, maybe you watched too much TV before?"

Hunter didn't understand what Thor was saying, but he knew that his last resort had been figured out.

For a moment, he felt utterly dejected, all his former vitality gone, his soul drifting aimlessly, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

"You're not going to talk? Well, with your stubbornness, you probably just want to die. But that's alright, I do have some skills in interrogating souls. I can use that to kill time while waiting for Ralph to die completely."

Hunter's spirit trembled involuntarily, as if he had seen the most terrifying demon in the world.

Five minutes later.

The basement finally fell silent, and no more sounds came out. Hunter's spirit, filled with resentment and dying with unresolved rage, completely dissipated.

Without the support of Hunter's spiritual power, the vengeful spirit of the Knight Olaf was destroyed almost instantly.

Before disappearing, the knight gave Thor a grateful glance.

This knight was really unlucky; he was used by others ever since he entered Ralph Manor, both before and after his death.

Therefore, ordinary people should not get involved in the battles with wizards, otherwise they will suffer all kinds of torment even after death.

Before Hunter died, Saul originally wanted to tell him about West Germany to spite him.

But considering that the manor was still not safe, especially since he didn't know if Victor was dead or alive, he decided to keep the secret to himself and not show off.

Using his extensive experience working in the morgue for two years, Saul finally managed to uncover Hunter's backup plan.

It turns out that the last third of all the scrolls in the magic crystal are scrambled and need to be re-read in a specific order, otherwise you will get seemingly correct but incorrect information.

If Thor learns from the wrong information, he will become like someone who has gone mad while practicing martial arts, and will eventually either die or go insane.

"This way, the information we have should be accurate. Hunter was driven only by instinct in the end, losing all reason. What he said is very likely true. Of course, I also have his diary to verify its authenticity."

Thor smiled with satisfaction and put the crimson magic crystal back into his pocket.

"The legacy of a wizarding family... They really struck it rich this time! But in the end, they still had to use up that Tier 2 scroll." Thor raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat that rolled down his chin.

Both the battle in the basement and the subsequent interrogation were extremely mentally taxing.

Fortunately, Thor possessed strong mental power; otherwise, any other ordinary second-tier apprentice would have fainted long ago.

Of course, this victory was not only due to Thor's own abilities, but also relied on many external factors.

Before he arrived, the tower master warned Thor that this mission would not be easy and might even be life-threatening.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Thor spent a huge sum of money to buy a trump card.

He had just been promoted to the second level of apprentice and lacked a powerful trump card that could kill with a single blow—the second-tier sorcery scroll, the Flame Orb.

It was this powerful scroll that helped Thor severely injure Ralph, allowing the antidote Thor sprinkled on him to take effect quickly. Otherwise, the magical array on the basement door, which could only maintain its effect for an hour due to Morton's brute force, would probably have been damaged before the human-faced worm was completely dead.

Therefore, buying multiple items is not as good as preparing one powerful one.

Anyway, most of the props are not as useful as the algae.

Thor crouched down and placed his hand on the array at the basement door, but did not immediately use magic to connect and open the door.

He simulated it in his mind.

Then, the diary entry tells Saul that although the worm was dying, it was still waiting for him to open the door and swallow him into its riddled belly.

Thor frowned. There wasn't much time left before the magic circle around the basement door went out of effect. If Ralph wasn't completely dead before the circle expired, Thor would have to leave and come back to check again when it was safe to do so.

But after thinking about it and looking at the words in the diary, he squatted down again.

After silently counting to 20, Thor placed his hand on the door again.

This time, the diary tells Saul that the bug is about to give up, and if he goes down now in his anxiety, he might die with the bug.

He waited several seconds and then made a third attempt.

This time, the diary no longer warned him that opening the door would mean certain death. Instead, it closed up somewhat boredly and flew back to Thor's left shoulder.

Ralph is completely finished; he's no longer capable of dragging himself down to hell.

Thor smiled, carefully channeling his magic to unlock the seal on the basement door once more.

Thank you for the generous donation!
