Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 251 Hints

The magic circle drawing for the consciousness platform is complete.

Although he hasn't put it into practice yet, Saul recalled his state just now, and all the steps were completed in one go, crisply and without any obstacles.

It's as if it has been drawn hundreds or thousands of times.

"Next is to develop the 'Grinding Fruit'. It seems that you can simply extract the juice from this, and you can actually eat it directly."

Thor shook the piccolo-like fruit in his hand, and the airflow passing through it produced a series of whimpering sounds.

Extracting the juice is simple, but in order to maximize the calming effect of the juicy fruit, Thor used a more complicated extraction method.

I almost missed my appointment with Wright because of this busy schedule, but luckily Xiaozao was reliable.

Thor quickly pulled out the mask hidden deep inside the cabinet and strode towards the door.

While this mask has some effect in warding off evil spirits, its persistent odor makes it difficult to wear.

Especially when wearing it, even without breathing through the nose, the stench seems to seep into the skin.

Thor couldn't even last a minute with it on, and the smell would linger on him all day long.

However, being able to drive away evil spirits is still a good ability, but Thor doesn't quite understand why Wright would also join the fight for the mask.

As someone who frequently fights outside, he shouldn't lack such items.

Thor successfully pushed open the bronze door and immediately saw Wright holding the doll.

It was the same doll from a few days ago, but this time she had changed her clothes, transforming from a maid into a noblewoman.

"He wouldn't be trying to use this to pay off the debt, would he?" Thor felt uneasy looking at the doll.

Fortunately, Wright did not mention the doll in the subsequent transaction.

"Is this the mask you were talking about?" Wright had just taken the package containing the mask and didn't quite understand why such a small mask was placed in a huge wooden box.

Moreover, when he opened the wooden box, he found a glass box inside that was sealed with wax.

Are there any restrictions on its use?

Saul thought for a moment and said, "It's not a taboo, it just smells awful. I suggest you turn it on when you get back to your dorm."

Wright twitched his nose twice upon hearing this, but because Saul's nose was sealed tightly, he couldn't smell anything.

However, Wright didn't care.

The more powerful and rare a magical artifact is, the more potential dangers it may pose.

Just as people face unknown dangers in order to become wizards, magical artifacts, while wielding great power, are also accompanied by taboos.

Wright didn't open the box to check; he trusted Saul completely.

Now that the two had settled their accounts, Thor was eager to return to continue his experiments, so he took the initiative to say goodbye to Wright.

However, before leaving, Wright invited Thor to go on a mission.

"When are we going out together again? I still miss our adventures in Drift Valley." Wright rubbed his nose.

really?

Thor laughed. "Do you miss the Headless Monster, or the Evil Spirit?"

Wright chuckled awkwardly. "Haha, although the journey was a bit dangerous, we were lucky enough to survive and captured a three-masted sailing ship with six prisoners. Who wouldn't envy our spoils when we got back?"

"There's a chance," Thor said casually, retreating back inside the bronze gate.

As he closed the door, he saw Wright still standing in the dimly lit corridor, staring straight at him. His eyes suddenly became dark and unreadable.

He held the almost life-sized doll, its entire body gradually covered in black mottled spots.

"Clang!"

The gate closed.

Thor remained by the door, his brow furrowed in confusion.

"Something's off with Wright." His smile faded. "He's been avoiding me, intentionally or unintentionally, for a while now, but he was so...enthusiastic during this deal. It's a big change. Has something happened to him too?"

Sensing something amiss, Saul insisted on using credits for transactions. Credits, being a registered virtual currency, cannot be manipulated.

Despite being so cautious, Saul still felt that something was amiss.

Just before he entered the second warehouse, a lightbulb suddenly went off in his head.

"No!" Thor slammed his hand on the tall stack of boxes beside him. "There were only five prisoners alive. Wright, who was in charge of guarding the prisoners, should remember this better than I do."

Why did he say there were six people?

The five apprentices from the Landship were all ordinary apprentices of level one or two. Thor hadn't paid any attention to them after they returned to the Wizard's Tower, only hearing that the Landship hadn't come to ransom them. Moreover, several of them died not long after their return.

"He misremembered? But a level three apprentice shouldn't make such a mistake on the path to advancement unless they're sacrificing their brains. As for a slip of the tongue, well, that's even less likely."

Saul continued walking, and pushed open the door to the second warehouse with a puzzled look.

Billy and Herman's upright figures came into view.

"Six people... one too many!" Thor felt a chill run down his spine. "Was it a slip of the tongue by Wright, or... is there someone else in the wizard tower? Is Wright secretly sending me a message?"

So, five minutes later...

"So you suspect that people who travel by land have entered the Wizard's Tower?" Yura's black silhouette sat on Thor's long table, swinging her legs back and forth.

"It's just a suspicion, and I can't rule out that I'm being too sensitive, but if someone really did break in, he might have already secretly taken control of Wright, which is why he hinted at it to me."

After much deliberation, Thor decided to report to the tower master, Gorsa, since he had said that the Wizard Tower could protect against external dangers.

The land-based vessel also had the powerful force of a second-tier formal wizard, so Thor naturally couldn't go to rescue Wright alone.

Moreover, the reason Wright subtly passed the message to Saul was most likely because he was seeking help from Saul's backer, Gorza.

If it were just a level three apprentice being targeted, the tower master might not have intervened, but now that the enemy has infiltrated the wizard tower, the tower master certainly won't stand idly by.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't Gorsa who appeared in the warehouse, but Yora.

Of course, Thor did not show the slightest disappointment.

"Interesting. They've actually gotten their hands on the wizard's tower." Yura listened to Thor's words without any worry, and even had the excitement of a child seeing an ice cream truck.

"I'll go take a look," Yura said, and started to run outside.

Thor quickly stopped her, "You're just going to go like this? Don't you need to tell the tower master?"

Yura passed through Thor's arm, and a piece of the black silhouette was suddenly missing.

She looked down at him, somewhat surprised, and said, "Your body this time is truly amazing; it's practically the nemesis of spirits!"

However, despite saying this, she showed no fear whatsoever.

Even as they spoke, the black silhouette automatically filled in.

Thor's body did not absorb Agu's body when it came into contact with him; he had to extend his spirit tentacles to absorb it.

Considering that the black shadow that makes up Yura is less stable than a vengeful spirit, it's worth noting that her spiritual energy is immense, so she doesn't care about such minor losses.

It's clear that the tower owner put a lot of effort into her.

"Gorsa has to patrol every night, so he's busy right now. I can go instead." After saying that, Yura melted into the ground beneath her feet.

After Yura eagerly went to join the fun, Thor stepped forward, bent down, and touched the ground where Yura had disappeared.

The ground remained hard, without any magical fluctuations or traces of soul.

Yura seemed to be able to easily pass through the wizard tower's mezzanine, unafraid of the dangers inside.

So, does she count as part of the mezzanine?
