Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 24 It's not shameful to tell the teacher.

This meditation image is actually called an erosion diagram.

But Thor still felt that the name he chose was more vivid and fitting.

"Mentor, I've asked others, and none of their meditation books have this picture. Only I have it... Someone touched my book! Someone wants to kill me!"

Saul's expression shifted between anger and lingering fear.

"So?" Kaz was calm, even somewhat indifferent.

"Please, Professor, save me."

Kaz frowned, his white eyebrows furrowing as he looked down at Thor.

"Kid, the wizarding world isn't all sunshine and rainbows. To become stronger, to explore deeper mysteries, everyone will stop at nothing. What you need to do is adapt to this world, not just seek refuge."

"Master Katz, I understand the principle of survival of the fittest, but I've only been an apprentice for two days, and someone has already instructed the maids, and even other apprentices, to target me. Could there be something else going on? I'm so sorry..." Thor shrugged, clutching his stomach, and said pitifully, "I don't even dare to eat the food the maids bring me."

"Survival of the fittest?" Kaz was taken aback. "You haven't learned much, but you've got a lot of vocabulary."

He thought for a moment and finally relented, "No matter who wanted to harm you, instructing the servants and apprentices of the Wizard Tower has indeed overstepped their bounds. I understand this matter, and no one will dare to touch the apprentices' supplies again."

He placed a hand on Thor's head. "Being able to evade the erosion map's scheme is your own ability, and that's the most important thing. Go back, eat well, study hard, and become stronger. Then you'll find that the dangers on the path to becoming a wizard are far more terrifying than someone plotting against you."

Thor's request for help today took up time that was spent asking questions. After saying this, Katz walked out of the morgue with his hands behind his back.

Thor breathed a slight sigh of relief, but was also somewhat disappointed.

Although Katz said that Thor didn't need to worry about being schemed against in his daily life, he didn't say that he would help Thor find the mastermind behind it all.

In other words, he also had to worry that West Germany would cause him trouble elsewhere, or even... personally kill him.

Fortunately, the Wizard Tower should have some control over second-level apprentices, otherwise West Germany wouldn't have gone to such lengths to deal with them.

For a level two apprentice to kill a new apprentice is just a matter of moving a finger.

We still need to find a way to become stronger as soon as possible.

At the same time, he had to find a way to evade West Germany's repeated attempts to sabotage him before he was able to resist.

Saul started copying books again.

He remained expressionless, writing rapidly, and even when copying the complex Noah's words from the book, he didn't slow down much.

At seven o'clock, he left the morgue.

Just as he was leaving, he suddenly saw the scarlet door of the room next door open, and a man in his early twenties walked out. The badge on his clothes indicated that he was also a first-level apprentice.

Judging from his age, he is a very senior first-level apprentice.

The other person saw Thor, but their gaze swept past him as if he were air.

Thor silently stepped aside, letting the other person go up the slope first.

There's no work today, so everyone can leave on time.

Thor stood close to the door for a while, trying to see if the deepest red wooden door would open.

That should be the room where the first stage of body disposal took place.

But Saul waited for about ten minutes, and there was still no movement from the door.

Thinking he couldn't linger here any longer, Thor hurriedly left with the book in his arms.

……

Katz isn't in a good mood today.

None of his new apprentices satisfied him.

That Duke has a high level of dark elemental perception and good magical talent, but he's not quick-witted and lacks intelligence.

If even learning a few simple runes is this difficult, how will you ever get involved in witchcraft in the future?

Angela is also quite talented and smarter than Duke, but she's too impetuous.

Those big eyes were cute, but they were always darting around.

Even when it comes to learning basic knowledge, something that only requires effort, she can make it incredibly fun.

They even thought they were pretending to be innocent very well.

Katz himself wasn't a calculating person, so he didn't like this kind of apprentice.

In his view, those who scheme to become high-ranking wizard apprentices will ultimately fail on the path to becoming full wizards.

Moreover, Angela reminded Kaz of another girl.

That guy is probably reaping the bitter fruit of his past actions.

As for Thor...

Kaz didn't take him seriously at first.

In his view, it was a waste of the wizard tower's resources for someone without magical talent to become an apprentice.

Thor must have used some tricks to become an apprentice.

Kaz originally intended to take him down during the first test, but unexpectedly discovered Thor's talent in the soul.

No, calling it an accidental discovery is not accurate.

Someone gave him the order.

Katz walked slowly down the ramp between the sixteenth and seventeenth floors of the East Tower.

The sixteenth and seventeenth floors of the East Tower are the residences of the mentors.

Suddenly, the surrounding shadows began to move.

The candlestick's light remained steady, but the shadow beneath their feet seemed to be fleeing, transforming into countless tiny black dots that collided, leaped, and raced to squeeze into the cracks in the rocks.

Kaz stopped in his tracks, his face twitching and his breathing slowing.

Who says that a formal wizard doesn't experience fear?

He looked up and saw a person walking down the slope.

His arms were kept close to his sides without swinging, and when he walked, his heels were raised high, with only the tips of his toes touching the ground.

It's as if the ground is dirty, and he's trying to avoid touching it.

Most importantly, the person was wrapped in pink bandages all over, with only a pair of silver eyes showing.

Kaz leaned down deeply.

"Tower Master."

"Um."

With a simple response, the man in pink bandages and Kaz passed each other.

Kaz let out a half-breath in his heart.

But before he could spit out the other half of his mouth, he noticed that the tower master had taken two steps and then stopped.

He quickly turned around, not daring to turn his back to the tower master.

"Wouldn't that little guy be perfect for disposing of corpses?"

The tower master, whose voice even frightened the formal wizard Kaz, spoke very gently.

"Yes, his talent for handling souls is indeed remarkable. On his first attempt at processing a corpse, he actually found one more piece of material than I did."

"Hehe, that must be because you weren't taking it seriously." The tower master chuckled.

Kaz shuddered.

"Show him this, so he can master it quickly."

The bandage on the tower master's abdomen tore open, revealing a deep gash. He reached in with his slender fingers and pulled out a thin book made of silk.

"Okay." Kaz accepted it with both hands.

"Oh, right, Tower Master," Kaz suddenly remembered that kid had asked him for help earlier today, "someone tampered with that kid's meditation book and replaced one page with an erosion diagram."

The tower master turned around, seemingly quite interested.

"He meditates using erosion diagrams?"

"Uh, probably not. How could a new apprentice resist an erosion diagram? They must have been lucky to discover something was wrong, but only told me today."

A cold, damp wind howled through the passageway.

The tower master's body, with only his toes touching the ground, swayed like a reed.

"That won't do. The wizard apprentice is mine, the meditation book is mine, the maid is mine." The tower master's eyes curved into a smile. "Oh, and the laboratory is mine too."

laboratory?

Kaz felt cold sweat trickling down his hair, but he shrank back, afraid to let it run down his cheeks.

"Go find that bad guy and make him pay."

After saying that, the tower master turned around and continued downhill.

As his figure disappeared behind the bend, countless tiny black shadows bounced and hopped out from the cracks in the rocks, joyfully reforming the shadows.

Kaz looked down at the book in his hand, somewhat puzzled.

Tower Master, why do you value that Thor so much?
