Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 249 Something's Not Right

Saul detected some of the properties of the linoleic acid in the small amount of skin tissue provided by Byron.

However, it can only hold a small number of soul fragments, and its primary purpose is not storage.

Among them, Thor discovered a resemblance to the formula for plastic bones. It's likely that Byron borrowed the formula Thor had given him.

After examining Byron's body, Thor knew what was going on. If Byron couldn't suppress the evil spirit within him, he had a way to help him resolve the situation.

However, the evil spirits that Byron collected for so long probably just benefited Thor.

We successfully obtained the magic array constructed by the consciousness platform, but we still need to make a lot of preparations before we can actually set it up.

Three days later, Thor was searching through his old notes in the private library of the tower master on the 19th floor.

Fortunately, he soon found the soul stabilization experiment that he had only glanced at before.

He immediately sat down on the ground and started flipping through the pages.

The soul stabilization experiment recorded in this notebook was conducted three times, but all of them ended in failure.

Even failures can be useful; now Saul can organize his thoughts by going through the experimental steps.

"Hmm... The third option is to reduce the probability of consciousness collapse and spiritual contamination by stabilizing the emotions of the soul's consciousness. Experimental hypothesis one: Moon Sleep Essential Oil (failed, no improvement). Experimental hypothesis two: Loss Bell (can have a temporary stabilizing effect, but will inevitably be contaminated after it expires, failed)."

Saul turned to the next page of his notes.

"Experimental hypothesis three: the sound-grinding fruit." He paused for a moment before continuing to read, "It can temporarily stabilize the consciousness of the spirit, but the effect is too short-lived and does not play a decisive role in advancing the experiment, so it failed."

Seeing this, Thor rested his chin on his hand. "The Sound-Grinding Fruit seems to have some effect, but the effect is short-lived... However, I don't need it for a long time. As long as I can access the diary in the consciousness platform, that's fine."

This is a solution worth trying.

Thor quickly took out a blank notebook and copied down the processing methods and experimental procedures for the Grinding Fruit.

Finally, there was some progress, and Sol was excitedly preparing to go to the registration room to exchange some grinding fruits.

"Although the amount of Mosheng fruit that Mofan Town has been paying tribute to has decreased significantly in the past two years, there should still be some in the Tali."

Thor couldn't contain his desire to start the experiment immediately and hurried downstairs.

I greeted every familiar or unfamiliar face I encountered along the way.

However, when Saul arrived at the registration room, the result was beyond his expectations.

"I'm sorry, we've run out of Grinding Fruits." The person in charge of the ranking room was a level three apprentice, but she was very polite to Thor, who was one level below her.

"What?" Thor frowned. "I remember the Sound Grinding Fruit wasn't very effective in witchcraft experiments, how come there's not a single one left?"

"Uh..." The senior student opposite her couldn't answer and could only awkwardly look away.

"I'd like to see the inventory records for the Grinding Fruit," Thor suddenly said, reaching out his hand.

"What?" The senior student was taken aback, staring incredulously at Thor standing outside the window. "No, there's no such rule."

Thor smiled. "Does my senior need me to ask for permission before she'll let me see it? Is that necessary? It's just a waste of time."

The senior student across from me bit her lip, suddenly regretting why she hadn't asked for leave today!

Among the current level three apprentices, everyone knows that Thor is the Tower Master's most valued apprentice, and it would be no problem for him to retrieve a record of the entry and exit of ordinary materials.

Since sticking to principles is pointless, why offend Saul?

So, the senior student, who thought she had figured it out, turned around and went to get the warehouse records.

The registration office is responsible for the third storeroom, which is also the largest storeroom in the Wizard Tower, occupying the entire sixth and seventh floors of the East Tower.

Therefore, even the warehouse's inbound and outbound record books filled an entire bookshelf.

The senior student on duty today spent a little time finding what Thor wanted.

Saul took the record and immediately began to read it.

In the first half of the record, when Mofan Town had just made its offerings, some apprentices and even mentors exchanged for Mosheng Fruit.

Later on, it became all Nicks.

This is normal; Nick is probably the only apprentice in the Wizarding Tower who studies emotion magic.

However, as the supply of millstones decreased, Nick's exchange frequency also began to decline.

During this period, there were only three other people's exchange records.

But what caught Thor's attention was that the last person to make the exchange had taken all the remaining Grinding Fruits.

"Do you know this apprentice named Tom?"

Thor pointed to the last person who exchanged for the Grinding Fruit and asked the senior.

"Him?" The senior student had given up resisting and obediently came over to look. "This name is very common, but it also seems somewhat familiar."

She suddenly ran back and after a while pulled out a roster.

"Ah, I remember now, he went missing two months ago after a mission. He's presumed dead, but his body has never been found."

"Two months ago..." Thor looked down at the outbound records in his hand.

Tom redeemed it two months ago...

Although the registration office couldn't exchange for Grinding Fruit, Thor wasn't in a hurry.

There must be someone there who has stock!

"Knock knock knock!" Thor knocked on Nick's door.

Since returning from Drift Valley, he seemed to have only seen Nick once or twice, and later he heard that Nick had locked himself in his dormitory and rarely came out.

I wonder if something went wrong.

If he can't get the Sound-Grinding Fruit from Nick either, Thor will have to apply to go out and look for any remaining Sound-Grinding Fruits in Sailtown.

Although the barbarians invaded Mosail Town last time, they probably couldn't have destroyed all the Mosail Fruits.

Even if the town of Mofan is to continue receiving the protection of the Wizard's Tower, it should still continue to try planting Mofan Fruit.

Especially the first-level wandering apprentice who appeared with soldiers at the end, he seemed to be a sensible person.

He will likely leave those soldiers behind to help rebuild Mosailtown.

Of course, the best outcome would be to get the Sound Grinding Fruit from Nick.

Saul raised his hand again, trying to knock on the door.

But at that moment, Nick's door suddenly opened a crack, revealing a bloodshot eye.

"Nick...senpai?"

To Saul's surprise, Nick had completely changed after not seeing him for several months.

He... there wasn't a single hair left on his face.

Not only that, Nick's cheeks are deeply sunken into his bones, making him look more like a skeleton than a human.

"Sol, what's wrong?"

"I want to buy something from my senior."

"What?"

Thor looked around. Although there was no one nearby, he didn't think the name "Grinding Fruit" was appropriate to be mentioned in public.

"It's not particularly valuable, but it's something special to you."

Nick stared at Thor for a moment with his bloodshot eyes before widening the crack in the door to let him in.

As soon as Saul went inside, Nick immediately closed the door tightly, even taking out a special kind of tape to seal the gaps in the door.

"Nick, what's wrong?"

The Nick before him was even more terrifying than the one Thor had glimpsed through the crack in the door.

If Saul thought Nick looked like a skeleton through the crack in the door, Saul thought Nick was a skeleton when Nick stood fully in front of him.

He can only move around with difficulty because of the little memory he has from his previous life.
