Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 290 Unkind

After taking the extract of the arugula, all of Saul's emotions were compressed to the limit.

But as the effects of the medication gradually wore off, those suppressed emotions launched a fierce counterattack.

Details that were not noticed at the time, and psychological fluctuations that were not felt at the time, all launched a powerful counterattack against him.

Now, when Saul thinks about how he gave up his predecessor's experience using the diary, he doesn't regret it, but he feels a little heartbroken.

However, due to the side effects of the voice-grinding fruit, this small amount of heartache turned into excruciating pain.

He was so angry he just wanted to lie on the ground and pound the floor with his hands!

Other events also generated strong emotional responses, but none were as intense as this one, to the point that he almost lost control in front of the wizard Brie.

Fortunately, he managed to see the person off.

Otherwise, you'll lose face big time.

"The side effects of the Sound-Grinding Fruit are so strong, I wonder if Senior Nick was affected when he used it before." Thor suddenly remembered Senior Nick, who had become somewhat inhuman, and was somewhat worried about his situation.

Perhaps because of Thor's strong mental power, the side effects of the Grinding Fruit came on quickly and went away quickly.

A minute later, Thor's various emotional reactions began to dissipate, and three minutes later he got up as if nothing had happened.

"Luckily, there's no one else here. The side effects of the Sound Grinding Fruit, though temporary, are still quite troublesome. If my mental defenses had suddenly crumbled just now, it would have escalated into a more terrifying total collapse. It seems that to build a consciousness platform and maintain emotional stability, we still need to find a more effective material."

Although Thor has now turned the diary into his locator, it doesn't mean he no longer needs the consciousness platform.

Especially his second internal plan, which involves pulling people's spiritual consciousness into the consciousness platform for combat, is dangerous and insane.

But what makes Thor better than others is that he has a diary that allows him to foresee danger and helps him filter whether enemies can be drawn into the battle of consciousness.

But regardless of whether there are guarantees or not, the premise for doing this is that his mental battlefield must be solid enough.

Thor straightened his robes and turned to check the supplies that Wizard Brie had brought in.

Although he was only the temporary owner here, he still had to ensure a smooth handover of the work.

The supplies sent from Mobei City weren't much, but they were enough for Blackburg, which is usually inhabited by only one person.

The box contained mostly simple food items, such as dried meat chunks and very dense bread.

Clearly, the former owner of Blackburg did not prioritize culinary pleasures.

"But this is too rudimentary! Boxes and boxes are full of bread and jerky. There aren't even any vegetables. Did the previous owner of Blackburg have to make his own nutritional paste?"

The food and daily necessities were neatly placed in small boxes. These small boxes were then placed inside a large wooden crate, the outside of which was engraved with numerous magic arrays for preservation.

The four corners of the wooden box are inlaid with magic crystals to provide energy for the magic circle.

Preserving food using magical arrays is quite a luxury. In the Principality of Kema, perhaps only the royal family and a few other prominent clans would dare to do so.

Thor used his mental energy to probe the object and detected faint magical fluctuations, but these fluctuations did not exceed the expected range of magical fluctuations of the preservation array.

"There shouldn't be any problems." Thor clapped his hands and prepared to leave. He couldn't possibly open every single wooden crate; checking this far was already quite thorough.

If there really is a quality problem with the food placed on the lower level, let the future owner of Black Castle confront the Northern Desert City.

Even if there are quality issues with this kind of food, the most they'll get is another box of fresh food from Mobei City.

Thor still had the food he had brought with him, so he didn't intend to use the wooden box and planned to hand it over to its next owner intact.

Just as he turned to leave, a thought suddenly struck him, and he turned back to face the wooden box, squinting as he scanned it.

Thor had made it a habit to use semi-immersive meditation to check his surroundings whenever he arrived at a new place. So this time, he used the same method to check the wooden box.

A quick glance revealed nothing unusual. However, Thor didn't rush to leave; his gaze continued to move around the wooden crate.

Alienation and pollution can sometimes occur in very subtle ways. A large environment like Mosail Town certainly cannot be inspected in such detail, but when faced with such a small box, Thor doesn't mind wasting a minute.

Then, just as he crouched down to inspect the bottom of the box, he suddenly saw a grayish-white dome slowly emerging from the bottom corner of the box.

It looks a bit like a round steamed bun.

Thor's heart skipped a beat, but his gaze didn't stop; he continued to examine the other three sides.

But Thor kept an eye on the grayish-white, fist-sized dome out of the corner of his eye.

As Thor moved, the dome slowly shrank back into the box.

Thor inspected all six sides of the box, then dusted off his hands and turned to leave the warehouse.

As soon as he closed the door behind him, his face darkened.

"There's something in that box!" Thor strode towards the laboratory. "Did Wizard Brie put it in, or did someone else switch the supplies meant for the Wizard's Tower?"

Using the preservation array within the container itself to conceal the faint magical fluctuations hidden inside is indeed a very good method.

If Saul hadn't been in the habit of checking the cleanliness of the materials with his own "eyes," he probably wouldn't have noticed the anomaly in the supplies.

Saul had not been particularly wary of the wizard Brie's visit.

After all, the pollution in Mosail Town should have been dealt with by now, and the reason why Wizard Brie came to visit and inform him of the old madman's news was quite valid.

Looking back now, either the Wizard of Brie was being used, or the other party took advantage of his fact that he had just become the master of Blackburg and might not have paid much attention to inventorying supplies.

"No one would send this kind of thing in for no reason."

Thor strode into the laboratory, tidied up his things on the table, and cleaned up the traces of the magic circle on the floor.

Then, he summoned Little Algae and had it remind the Demon Vine, and the two demonic creatures strengthened their defenses together.

"Is this a test targeting me, or an indiscriminate attack on Blacksburg?"

Thor hasn't mastered a single second-tier spell yet. If the Duchy of Kema, represented by Brie, really wants to do something to him in secret, he alone would find it difficult to resist.

"How did Mochi Mochi receive messages from the Wizard Tower before? If I knew the method, I could report it to the Wizard Tower and get their advice on how to handle it."

Unfortunately, Thor and the previous owner of Blackburg did not have a normal handover, and he is still unable to use many of the rooms and items in Blackburg properly.

Especially those items that have been locked by Mochi Mochi's magic lock, if you don't know how to open them by force, you will not only lose the items inside, but may also cause harm to Thor.

"It's a pity that Mrs. Yura only had time to hand over the authority over the Devil Vine to me before she left. If she had..."

and many more!

Thor paused in his packing.

"Could it be... that Yura deliberately pretended to leave in a hurry and didn't tell me how to contact the Wizard Tower?"
