Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 266 Each with their own thoughts

Aunt Jenny in front of me is completely immersed in the pain and excitement of the past.

"That fire..." Thor suddenly realized.

It turns out that Aunt Jenny set fire to the millet berry fields.

Even the townspeople probably didn't expect that this woman, who had always been so enthusiastic about upholding the tradition of the saintess's sacrifice of the sacred fruit, was actually the one who hated the Grinding Fruit the most.

Or perhaps she hated the Grinding Fruit, and even more so the residents of this small town.

Aunt Jenny's spiritual consciousness had completely collapsed and showed signs of being corrupted.

Perhaps it is because being awake is the most painful thing.

She was still laughing, and then her entire head turned into her mouth.

If the soul energy is strong enough, Aunt Jenny will then transform into an evil spirit.

Unfortunately, she was just an ordinary person. Whether in life or after death, all that awaited her was the collapse of her spirit, turning into fragments.

Thor stood up, and his right hand, which was originally needle-shaped, suddenly swung out, sending out an octopus tentacle that lashed out and struck Jenny's soul hard before absorbing it cleanly like sucking up jelly.

At the same time, a hint of malice from Jenny also appeared in Saul's mind.

The diary stirred restlessly, seemingly wanting to absorb this malice completely. But Saul shook his head slightly, stopping the diary's "purification."

"I imagine you're not content to just disappear like this. Why don't you come with me for a walk and see the final fate of this seemingly warm but actually cruel town?"

Thor jumped onto the roof of the next street again, this time searching for the most magnificent house in town while observing whether there were any other spirits around.

But just then, he suddenly heard the sound of the surging tide again.

The sound grew closer, as if it were flowing within a hundred meters of him.

But looking around, the whole town was clean and tidy, without a trace of red or any flowing water.

Although he saw nothing and the sound of the tide quickly disappeared, Thor gradually became nervous because of the increasingly close sound of the water.

"I must hurry. We can't linger any longer if we encounter a soul that doesn't know the location of a wizard's apprentice."

He skipped several blocks to reach the busiest street in town.

While observing from the rooftop, he noticed that the houses here were the most magnificent and ornate in the town.

However, there are three or four such buildings, and without other clues, Thor may need to search them one by one.

That would be a huge waste of time.

Just then, he suddenly saw a person wandering on the street.

The man's armor and clothing were quite different from those of the people in the Duchy of Kema and the people of the Wizard Tower, suggesting he came from a more distant place.

Moreover, he was just an ordinary person who could lose his life at any moment in this cursed place.

He carefully and deliberately avoided all the houses, trying not to get close to the doors and windows, and walked cautiously in the middle of the street.

He moved shakily, glancing warily around.

Although he doesn't seem to have gone mad, he's not far from breaking down.

Most importantly... he was actually a living person!

"So, others have entered this town as well. Is that row of graves outside an aid to the curse ritual, or just bait to lure people in?"

After what had just happened, Thor believed that the person behind it all didn't just want to turn the whole town into a cursed land; he might have a deeper purpose and a more insatiable appetite.

Thor recalled Mochi Mochi's strange expression when he entered the town. Perhaps this senior he had only met once wasn't telling him the truth.

Either he was the mastermind behind it all, or he had other ideas after seeing this cursed land.

Thor's arm hung down, and a golden ancient coin slipped into his palm. He examined the ancient coin, which had smiling faces on both sides, and moved his fingers, letting it roll and spin between his fingertips.

However, he did not use the ancient coin to contact Mochi Mochi, but instead put it away again.

Just then, the person walking in the middle of the street suddenly shouted and turned to run away.

It looked as if ten hungry wolves were chasing him.

But when Thor looked in the direction of his fear, he saw nothing.

But a few breaths later, a vengeful spirit wearing half-body armor and wielding a scimitar walked around the corner at the end of the street.

"This is... Captain Jeff?" Thor turned to look at the fleeing stranger. "What did he see that allowed him to detect Jeff's presence beforehand? Or has this town already become something else in the eyes of ordinary people?"

This is also normal.

Ordinary people's mental bodies are not as powerful as those of wizards, nor do they have magical protection. They are easily susceptible to terrifying hallucinations from even small amounts of radiation.

Not to mention, this is a cursed town.

Thor didn't run away; he jumped directly in front of Captain Jeff. "Captain Jeff, hello."

"Who are you?" Captain Jeff seemed much more normal than Aunt Jenny.

"I am a wandering wizard passing through this place, and I would like you to take me to see your local wizard."

Thor had no idea what kind of illusion Captain Jeff was in, so he made up a reason to ask him to take him to the wizard's residence.

"No, I'm on patrol."

To everyone's surprise, Captain Jeff, now a vengeful spirit, stood firm and refused Thor's advances.

"If you don't lead the way, I'll kill you," Thor said coldly.

"I'm on patrol, please don't stop me from maintaining the safety of the town," Jeff replied with a serious expression, then surprisingly tried to walk around Thor and continue on his way.

"Okay, I take back what I just thought. There can't be any normal people among these vengeful spirits." Thor shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Hey!" he called out to Jeff.

Fortunately, Jeff still had the instinct to turn around and react.

The next second, a semi-transparent giant hand suddenly slammed down on a house next to the street.

Under the immense kinetic energy impact of the mage's hand, a corner of the house was instantly shattered.

"If you don't take me with you, I'll destroy the town you're supposed to protect."

While it would be incredibly difficult for Thor to destroy a small town, that didn't stop him from boasting in front of a delirious vengeful spirit.

"Alright." The dutiful vengeful spirit was taken aback by Thor's bluntness. After staring blankly at the rubble for a moment, it finally relented. "Come with me."

The next second, Jeff led Thor into the luxurious house where he had just damaged a corner.

Thor: ...

"The wizard is inside. Go in and find them if you need anything."

"Would they leave something important here?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm leaving. I'm busy and need to be responsible for the safety of the town." With that, Jeff turned and left, continuing his patrol on the streets.

"Captain Jeff," Thor said to his retreating figure, "are you protecting this town, or its inhabitants?"

Jeff paused for a moment, but quickly continued walking.

Thor chuckled and walked deeper into the house.

After Thor entered the magnificent house, the door was suddenly and gently closed by an invisible hand. Then, a stream of bright red liquid flowed from the crack in the corner of the roof that Thor had smashed.

The liquid accumulated, forming a shallow puddle, which gradually deepened into a large pool.

The sound of waves crashing against the rocks rang out.

"Splash... Splash..."
