Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 264 You should leave quickly.

"ah--"

"Oh--"

After the leading knight commander abandoned everyone and fled, the rest of the Knas marriage party finally realized what was happening.

They scattered and fled, wailing in terror.

Some of the slower ones were hit by the red wave after only a few steps. Their eyes glazed over, and they collapsed to the ground. Then more water covered their bodies.

The water flowed greedily around the corpse, even pausing its spread to the surrounding areas.

As a result, some lucky individuals temporarily escaped the impending doom.

……

几分钟前。

Thor and Mochi Mochi had just stepped into the dilapidated courtyard where Ada lived.

"Why come here first? Why?" Mochi Mochi asked in confusion, unable to see what made this little courtyard special to the whole town.

"I want to confirm one thing first."

The gate to the courtyard that was damaged last time is still hanging askew and hasn't been repaired.

Thor stepped into the courtyard and looked up at the room directly opposite that belonged to Ada.

Then, through the cracks in the wooden planks of the window, he saw a silver eye that shone like the Milky Way.

Seeing Thor stop, Mochimochi curiously walked around him. "What's wrong? What's wrong? Have enemies appeared?"

Saul raised his index finger, making a shushing gesture.

"I went over to take a look, and it seems to be someone I know."

Could it be that Penny and Ada are back?

No, Penny's eyes are no longer starry silver, and given their status and abilities, it's impossible for them to still be in Mossport Town.

Unless someone forces them to do so.

Mochi Mochi raised his slender eyebrows, thinking to himself, "Could there be other wizard apprentices who have come in as well?"

He felt a sudden anxiety. "That's true. The spell-enhancing ritual outside is so obvious. Apart from someone like Thor who isn't very familiar with spells, if other level three wizard apprentices saw it, I doubt many could resist the temptation."

Mochi Mochi looked into the courtyard but didn't find a single living person or anything unusual.

"I'll wait for you outside." Mochi Mochi simply left the courtyard.

Saul kept an eye on the diary entries but did not object.

"After entering the town, it seems I don't need to travel with Mochi Mochi. That guy must be taking the initiative to resolve the curse in the town, drawing enemy fire, which greatly increases our safety."

Whatever the reason why the diary stopped issuing death warnings, Thor was happy to split up with Mochi Mochi.

However, the silver star's eyes in the courtyard made him somewhat uneasy.

Was I hallucinating again?

"Ah—ah—"

At that moment, a sharp scream broke the silence between Thor and Mochi Mochi. Mochi Mochi's eyes flickered, and he immediately said to Thor, "I'll go take a look."

He tossed a gold coin to Saul.

Thor took a look and could only make out that it was an ancient coin.

Both sides feature the exact same smiling face of a beautiful woman.

The coins are engraved with miniature witchcraft runes on their sides.

The sorcery runes on these are the most complete collection of common languages ​​that Thor has mastered.

Thor rolled the coin in his hand and immediately deciphered the basic information about connection, perception, and communication on it.

This appears to be a magical tool used for communication.

"When you need to call me, tap my ear three times with a gold coin, and you can talk to it."

Before Thor could answer, Mochi Mochi bent his knees, then suddenly pushed off the ground with both legs and "whoosh" jumped to the next block.

Then, like a rabbit, he would hop onto rooftops every now and then, quickly moving closer to the source of the sound.

Although Thor didn't know what was going on over there, he didn't want to get involved at this time.

He turned back to look at Ada's former room, but the eye was gone.

"Penny and Ada should have left by now. That silver eye was probably just an illusion. After all, Mochi Mochi said this is a cursed area, so it's normal for strange things that can affect my consciousness to appear here." Thor raised his chin. "Xiao Zao, go check it out."

Xiao Zao responded to the call and rushed to the window without any hesitation.

However, it didn't break through the window. Instead, it split into an even smaller clone and squeezed through the window crack.

After a while, Xiao Zao's clone shrank back and merged back into the main body.

It returned to Thor and shook its head, indicating that it hadn't found anything.

Thor sent the algae back, squinted at the cabin, and in his semi-immersive meditation, he found no trace of spiritual contamination.

It was unusually clean here, just like when he last visited.

But last time it was because a wandering wizard here was collecting vengeful spirits. What is it this time?

Is the curse on this town also directed at spirits?

Considering the silver, star-like eyes that resembled those of the Nightmare Butterfly's cocoon, Thor decided to go and take a look.

He could ignore other things, but the Nightmare Butterfly... Thor instinctively felt that it was very important to him!

He walked forward, and a spherical light shield appeared around his body.

Despite Xiaozha saying it hadn't found anything, Thor activated his Spirit Armor defense before approaching the hut where Ada had originally lived.

The door to the cabin wasn't locked; with a gentle push, the old door creaked unpleasantly.

After entering the cabin, Saul walked around and even checked the small cabinet where Penny had lived.

Whenever Ada went out, Penny would peek outside through the small gap between the cabinet and the window.

Although she couldn't see anything, she seemed to be able to sense the presence and emotions of others.

This was probably the only joy in Penny's dull childhood.

But after searching the room, Thor found nothing.

"Could it really be my imagination?" Thor wasn't in a hurry to leave. "That's possible."

"With my current mental strength, it should be difficult for me to be affected by illusions. Unless the person casting the illusion has reached the level of a formal wizard."

Despite possessing mental strength comparable to that of a formal wizard, Thor was not blindly arrogant.

"But now that Penny and Ada have escaped, I don't need to stay any longer. I'll climb onto the roof and see if there are any other strange occurrences in the town, and then... try to avoid them and find the residence of those two wizard apprentices."

If there are any remaining Grinding Fruits in the town, it must be the dwelling of the two wandering wizard apprentices.

However, just as Thor was about to step out of the hut, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Brother Thor."

Thor's muscles tensed instantly, so much so that the veins on his forehead could be clearly seen throbbing.

He slowly turned around and saw Penny's little head peeking out from the closet, her face beaming with a cute smile.

She crossed her arms, rested them on the bottom edge of the cabinet, tilted her head, pressed her head against her arms, and stared with her starry eyes, once again accurately looking in the direction where Thor was.

"Penny?" Thor did not attack rashly before he understood the danger of the illusion.

"Brother Thor, you should leave now." Penny was still smiling, even the curve of her smile was the same as before. "Listen, the red tide is coming. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave."

As if a switch had been flipped, just as Penny finished speaking, Thor suddenly heard the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.

"Splash... splash... splash..."
