Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 211 Lingzhi 2.0 Project

Gorsa observed Thor's changing expression with great interest, knowing that the other must have thought of something.

Ever since discovering the anomaly in Thor's psychic body, he had been very interested in this young apprentice. His several clandestine interventions were merely to see how far Thor could go with his strange and outstanding talent.

If Thor can eventually grow up, he might actually be able to help him in the future!

"Now that you've made your decision, don't leave the second warehouse until you've resolved the issue of astral projection."

Thor was taken aback.

Why not leave the second warehouse? What will he do if he receives a task from his mentor?

He had asked for leave and informed his other mentors before leaving the tower.

"Master, but I still have a mission..."

"It's alright, you can do the sorting in the warehouse. I'll assign you an assistant to handle the shipping."

Saul hesitated; this didn't quite align with his original intention in choosing the second warehouse.

Besides being able to use some of the materials in the warehouse, isn't the most important thing about doing this job to increase the opportunities to communicate with various mentors?

But then Thor thought that if he couldn't solve the problem of astral projection, he probably wouldn't be able to do this job in the future.

"I understand, Tower Master. I will complete the new spirit ester modification as soon as possible." Thor also made up his mind. If he delayed any longer, his body would probably develop more problems.

"Very good, this is actually the reward for passing Ralph's test." Gorza smiled. "But accidents always happen, and even I can't prevent everything. I'm glad you came back alive after meeting Kismet. Keep getting stronger, Thor, don't let this misfortune go to waste."

How about not letting bad luck go to waste?

Thor could only nod with a wry smile.

When he looked up again, Gorsa had vanished into thin air, along with the sofa behind him.

Just as he said, he did leave a sofa for Saul.

Thor relaxed his stiff posture, sinking completely into the soft sofa, and pondered his next move.

"Spiritual esters...flesh and blood...is it because the physical properties of spiritual esters are too fragile, while its enhancement of mental and magical power is too strong, that the remaining part of my body is becoming more incompatible with my soul?"

"What if... I were to go even further and transform myself more thoroughly, building upon the foundation of flesh and blood sorcery?"

Thor is a transmigrator, so his incompatibility between body and spirit will be more pronounced than that of other dark-attribute wizard apprentices.

Moreover, judging from his frequent out-of-body experiences, the harm he poses is even greater.

If this problem cannot be solved, it may one day become Thor's death knell.

The reason the diary didn't give a warning is that the impending doom is still a long time away.

"Complete the second spiritual ester modification...and by the way, check if the original owner's consciousness is still hidden within the body."

Thor suddenly smiled and gently drew circles on Thor's temple with his bony fingertips.

While pondering, Thor suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and quickly got up to look back.

Behind him, there was nothing but the horde of corpses standing with their backs to him.

Closest to Thor were the corpses of the newly arrived Bill and Herman.

Thinking of Bill, who had completely disappeared, and Herman, whose consciousness was almost gone, Thor felt a pang of emotion.

"What kind of beings are these corpses? They're supposed to be dead, but they seem to retain some residual consciousness."

Thor recalled the scene where the horde of corpses was attracted by the candlelight and even ran out of the warehouse, and couldn't help but wonder if they were really dead.

Do their bodies still contain the consciousness they had before they died?

If a dead person's body truly retains some of their former consciousness, then it's normal that Thor still has a bit of the original owner's soul within him.

Perhaps he could use these corpses to try and extract any remaining spiritual energy from them.

Furthermore, they would draw inferences from this example to determine whether there were other people's souls within them.

Returning to the lab table, Thor pretended to pick up his notes to study, but in reality, he summoned the Death Wizard's Diary.

Just as Saul expected, the diary flew directly to him and unfolded.

This time, its dark red hardcover slowly opened, settling on the first page of the book.

This is an ordinary sheet of white paper, but it has bright red writing on it:

Take control of death, take control of destiny.

Saul had barely finished reading the contents when the diary turned to the next page.

The second page was the golden page that Thor had just obtained.

Looking at the paper in front of him, which had a metallic sheen yet was soft and delicate, Thor couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

To his disappointment, however, he still could not access the diary.

Moreover, the golden pages did not react to him at all, unlike the black pages which would take the initiative to appear and show their purpose.

Just as Thor never truly gained the recognition of the Golden Pages.

Thor tried other methods, but the golden pages still didn't react.

"It seems that using the golden pages requires specific conditions. However, it's unclear whether these are external environmental conditions or internal strength requirements."

With no results from his investigation, Saul had no choice but to put the diary aside for the time being.

The origin of these golden pages might be related to Kismet, so he'd better be cautious.

"Then let's begin the Spirit Essence 2.0 modification project. But first, we need to study the principles of flesh and blood witchcraft."

Thor took out the crimson magic crystal he had obtained from the butler Hunter and infused it with his spiritual power.

This time, he was able to read the contents without any hindrance.

This contains not only the complete inheritance of flesh and blood witchcraft, but also Ralph's research records on the Death Wizard's Diary.

Each scroll contains nearly a hundred thousand words, and Saul must search for useful information within them to avoid being misled by the mistakes of his predecessors.

After only a few glances, he clicked his tongue with some worry, "I wonder how long this forced seclusion will last..."

……

While Thor followed the tower master's instructions and hid in the warehouse to take care of his physical needs, a new and terrifying rumor slowly spread among the servants and steward.

George, who had already made a name for himself among the male servants, was carefully leading his younger brother David through the sixth floor of the West Tower, one of the areas where first-class apprentices lived, and also the floor where Saul's former dormitory was located.

僕从住在西塔2至4层，管家集中居住在西塔5层，一级学徒住在西塔6至10层，二级学徒在11至13层。

According to the Wizard Tower's rules regarding servants, his unauthorized entry into the floor where first-level apprentices resided was a violation of the rules, and if anyone investigated, he could be severely punished.

But George was helpless. Apart from Saul, he didn't know who else could help him or who else would be willing to lend a hand!

George had regretted countless times why he had put on a show of wealth in his letters home, to the point that his family actually believed he held a high position among the servants of the Wizarding Tower, and even sent his nine-year-old brother in as well.

Even when his younger brother came in, he naively held the ridiculous idea that he might become a wizard apprentice after working for two years.

Now, before he's even been working for a month, his younger brother is about to be embroiled in an extremely terrifying incident.

Not long ago, two cases of missing persons occurred among the servants.

Unlike previous cases of unusual deaths, this time there was no location or cause of death. If the housekeeper hadn't been taking regular headcounts, they wouldn't have noticed anyone was missing.

Two days after the first person went missing, another servant also went missing.

In the past, when unusual deaths occurred, the Wizard Tower would send out apprentices of appropriate strength to handle the situation.

But this time, they couldn't even find out whether the person was dead, escaped, or was devoured by something, so few apprentices were interested in it.

If no one accepts the mission, it means the disappearance is likely to continue.

Tonight, David suddenly came to George and said that he had been assigned to clean the second-level apprentice corridor that night.

George's memory immediately went back to two years ago.

He also recalled a period when a large number of servants suddenly died, and the number of new recruits couldn't keep up with the rate of deaths, resulting in a severe shortage of manpower.

It seems that the rate of increase in the number of servants dying only slowed down after Thor became a wizard's apprentice.

A long period of calm followed.

Even so, of the boys who once shared a dormitory with Saul, only five remain.

Memories flooded back, and George felt a sense of unease, realizing that these two disappearances were probably just the beginning.
