Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 207 Wood and Mushrooms

Kira was nothing like a high-ranking noblewoman from a duchy; she ventured alone into the mud and sand, completely unconcerned about the dust inside.

However, not long after, she rushed out of it again.

Kira looked around warily, his arm, which had transformed into a short sword, protecting him.

But when the smoke cleared, she found no trace of Victor.

"They ran away?" She was somewhat disappointed and put away the weapons at the tips of her hands.

The two greatswords turned into liquid and flowed down her arm into her sleeve, disappearing without a trace.

Kira's size remained unchanged, and Thor couldn't figure out where she had hidden such a huge weapon.

The cat, Thor, stood up from behind the pile of junk.

Seeing the arrogant second-tier wizard approach, he quickly kicked the coachman, who was still cowering on the ground with his head in his hands.

"Why is that second-tier guy, whose name I don't even know, chasing after you? And who are you?"

Thor quickly took out his apprentice's name tag from the Wizarding Tower and showed it to Kira. "Lord Kira, I am an apprentice from the Wizarding Tower. I came here on a mission and ran into him by chance. It seems he has been lurking here for a long time and has harmed many ordinary people and wandering wizards."

Kira glanced at Thor's name tag, pursed his lips, and seemed to think it wasn't very interesting.

However, she suddenly remembered something and gave a cold smile. "Provoking a strange second-tier wizard is no small matter. I'll send you back to the wizard tower so your tower master can interrogate you properly."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her right hand and snapped her fingers.

While others snap their fingers and it's just a sound of flesh rubbing together, Kira's snap is a sound of metal clashing together.

What she said left Saul speechless.

If he was provoking Victor by passively stepping into Victor's trap, then what about Kira's repeated actions of ignoring people and going up to fight with his greatsword?

Provocation? Inciting hatred?

However, Kira was a second-tier wizard after all, so Thor couldn't argue with her.

A large bird fell from the sky.

As it approached the ground, Kira grabbed the small Thor and jumped onto the bird's back.

The bird's back is not flat, and there are no saddles or other props to make it easy for people to ride.

Kira, however, could stand steadily on the bird's back.

Thor, who was behind her, was in a worse situation. He could only lie on top of it, holding onto the feathers with both hands to avoid slipping off the bird's back.

But the feathers are so slippery that they can't be held up at all.

Kira, seemingly lost in thought, simply stood there blankly in front of Thor, shielding him from the wind, without offering any help.

Thor sighed, knowing he couldn't count on this battle maniac.

He chanted a spell, using a rarely used adhesive spell, firmly attaching his buttocks and thighs to the back of the large bird, thus securing himself and preventing him from falling off.

Only after he was sure he was settled did he have the mind to care about others.

The coachman seemed to have been left behind again.

As the large bird rapidly ascended, the figure of the coachman on the ground grew smaller and smaller.

Beyond the range of the teleportation spell, Thor could only wave to the coachman on the ground, signaling him to return to the tower himself.

The latter watched helplessly as Thor abandoned him once again, disappearing into the sky along with the terrifying second-tier wizard.

The driver was a little worried about the kind-hearted young apprentice, but he also knew that he had no right to care.

He shook the mushroom on his head, nimbly jumped over the fence and pile of debris blocking the road, and walked towards the carriage parked under the eaves of a house on the side of the street.

The horses raised at the Wizard's Tower are all excellent. Even after the great tremor, it only shifted its hooves restlessly and did not run away in fright.

The coachman reached out and stroked the horse's mane to calm it down before jumping into the driver's seat and pulling on the reins to turn the horse around.

The chaos that had just occurred here made the entire town of Mozambique even quieter. Not a single resident came out to see what was going on; they all kept their doors tightly shut and stayed inside their rooms.

The carriage traveled smoothly out of the town and onto the country road leading to the Wizard's Tower.

Hidden at the feet of the driver, in a place where miscellaneous items were stored, was a small, dusty jar.

As the vehicle swayed, the can occasionally make the crisp sound of coins clinking together.

As the coachman left the town where Ralph Manor was located, the weather above the manor gradually cleared up, and the sun shone down again, illuminating the now ruined Ralph Manor.

Suddenly, a stone slab on the ground lifted up, and a hand reached out from underneath, laboriously prying the entire slab aside.

A boy who looked even smaller than Thor crawled out of the ground, clutching a typical small witchcraft pouch in his hand.

His pockets were bulging, clearly filled with a lot of things.

When he crawled out from underground, he revealed a body that consisted only of his upper body, with the cross-section of his waist made of a piece of wood.

If Thor were still here, he would surely recognize this boy as Swan's first apprentice, a student of Kron, a third-level wizard apprentice.

But now Swann no longer showed the same fear and dazedness as before; his expression was quite complex.

Once he was sure there was no one else around, Swan began to chant the incantation skillfully.

As the incantation was chanted, two thick branches sprouted from his waist, which, with a powerful thrust, replaced his legs and feet, helping Swan stand up.

He breathed a sigh of relief, laboriously put the heavy bag on the ground, and then wiped the sweat from his brow that smelled of grass.

Swan opened the pocket and glanced inside, first seeing a pile of fragments.

"Damn it, it's broken again. This time it's broken too badly, it's definitely beyond repair. I just don't know if the people who use land-based boats will even bother to collect scrap."

However, when he saw the magic crystals, gold coins, gems, and several books under the wood fragments, he still grinned happily.

"Today's haul was pretty good. More than enough to buy a new tutor... How about we get a female tutor this time?"

Swann licked his lips, briefly lost in some kind of fantasy.

However, when he saw the ruins around him, he suppressed his inappropriate excitement, closed the bag, and slung it over his shoulder.

"We'd better get out of here quickly. Two second-tier wizards suddenly appeared, that's terrifying! Luckily, they're not interested in a third-tier apprentice like me."

Remembering Victor, who had lured him to the fourth floor of the castle, and the terrifying witch whose voice he had only heard but never seen, Swann shuddered and fled the place.

But when he ran to the end of the road and saw the small, dilapidated house outside the fence, he remembered something.

"Damn it, when I was inquiring about the situation earlier, I think I gave that old woman a gold coin. I've suffered heavy losses now, I can't afford to waste it like that."

Swan convinced himself and walked step by step toward the room where the old man lived at the intersection.

But when he got there, he found that the door was slightly ajar.

This made Swann, who was always on guard, feel a jolt of unease.

He carefully avoided the crack in the door and peered inside through the simple window beside it.

Upon seeing this, Swann's eyes widened.

The old woman inside was still sitting on the small stool, facing the door.

But her whole body was covered with white mushrooms, so densely packed that it was quite eerie.

Only a pair of slightly cloudy eyes were visible, gazing expectantly towards the door.

The pile of debris behind the "mushroom" showed signs of being disturbed, especially the old jar containing gold and silver coins, which was nowhere to be found.

Swan slowly backed away, and only when he was ten meters away did he quickly clean himself up, afraid of getting anything unclean on him.

"Someone got there first. Who's so greedy and shameless as to steal money from ordinary people?" He cursed inwardly, then, not daring to linger any longer, quickened his pace and left the street.

Now, there is absolutely no one left living near the street where Ralph Manor is located.

……

Kira's mount flew very fast, but it was still not as fast as when she arrived with lightning speed.

It's likely that she was startled by Victor's big move and, just in case, used "nitro boost" to get there.

"Thank you for saving me today." After breaking through the dark clouds, Thor finally found a chance to speak.

Kira didn't even turn his head. "Saving you was just a favor... Do you know what that second-tier wizard's name is?"

So you only thought to ask after you'd already chased them away?
