Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 296 Old Stories

"Little Algae... was it also planted by Mrs. Yura?"

Little Algae seemed to hear Thor calling it, and slowly emerged from the back of its neck. It looked left and right, and found that Thor was just standing there, seemingly in a daze. So it turned around to face Thor and stuck its tongue out at him with a "plop plop".

Thor quickly raised his hand, grabbed Little Algae's upper and lower jaws, and precisely clamped its tongue between its mouths. Watching the black tongue twitch, he chuckled and released Little Algae.

Little Algae's funny face was forcibly interrupted, and Thor even turned the tables on it, causing it to angrily shrink back. Before shrinking back, it didn't forget to distance itself and stick its tongue out at Thor again.

While playing with Xiaozhao, An told Thor that the Soul Devouring Swamp was essentially an earth-attribute demonic creature. Calling it a "species" wasn't quite accurate, but it was indeed one of the "dowry" brought by Lady Yura back then.

Agu, a former librarian, came forward to testify.

Agu: [That's certainly true of our master. Shortly after arriving at the Wizard's Tower, Lady Yura established an underground laboratory and cultivated many demonic creatures, though most failed to develop successfully. After Lady Yura's death, the underground laboratory was abandoned.]

Not to be outdone, An turned the page of Agu's book.

An: [Master, at that time I was still a living apprentice, and I happened to experience the dark period after Lady Yura's death. That day, the Tower Master suddenly lost his temper... hiss...]

Saul could see that Anne was still afraid when she was recalling the past.

Ann: [Many people died that day too. There were wizards from the Principality of Kema, and some wizarding apprentices... We had never seen the Tower Master lose his temper like that before. It wasn't until evening that we heard someone say that they saw the Tower Master carrying Lady Yura out of the underground laboratory.]

Ann: [But Lady Yura's head was gone. The Tower Master was only holding a headless corpse. The underground laboratory was abandoned after that.]

Thor stroked his chin and suddenly said, "Little Algae used to stay in the underground lab, and it remained there even after the lab was abandoned. Do you think it might know how Mrs. Yura died?"

The topic has shifted from whether Mrs. Yora intentionally framed Saul to the cause of her death.

But this is not off-topic.

If we could know the cause of Mrs. Yora's death, perhaps we could understand what she really wants to do now.

Perhaps we can also find out what Gorza is planning to do next.

Thor knew that his remaining ability to "observe history" wouldn't last more than a few days.

He originally intended to use his remaining abilities on his diary. Later, he considered using them on Xiaozao, whom he was close to.

Now that he suspects that Xiaozha might know the cause of Yura's death, Thor has made up his mind to observe Xiaozha after he finishes dealing with Blackburg!

Anyway, if that little bit of "historical observation" ability is used on the diary again, it probably won't reveal anything.

Thor has abandoned the history of the third observation log.

However, besides observing the history of the small algae, Thor has another way to understand why he was attacked tonight.

"We've already welcomed our first guest tonight and caught our second. We just don't know if there will be a third guest."

Thor carried the body of the land-based boat raider down the underground wine cellar and then crawled into the underground passage leading to the underground roots of the Devil Vine.

"It's nice to see you again, Lord Thor."

As soon as Devil Vine sensed Thor's approach, it quickly sent a greeting.

At the same time, thick black tentacles, about the size of a thigh, sprouted from the damp, muddy ground, swaying as if greeting Thor.

"Devil Vine, how many years have you been lurking beneath Black Castle?"

My concept of time isn't that clear.

"Do you know how Blackburg communicates with the Wizard's Tower?"

I'm sorry, I don't know.

Saul wasn't too disappointed. He threw the attacker's body on the ground and casually leaned against the wall.

He commanded in his mind, "Diary, let the black pages of that attacker come out."

The diary unfolded within his mind, turning to the fifth black page.

"Who are you? What's your name?"

"My name is Kedis, and I am a level three wizard apprentice in the Land-Traveling Ship. Where am I? Strange, I have no recollection of how I got here."

"What is the purpose of your visit?" Thor had no intention of keeping Cadis here.

Maintaining these consciousness entities requires Thor to provide mental energy.

If the consciousness within the black pages isn't questioned, it might last longer. But if questions can't be asked, what need is there for Thor to leave behind a meaningless consciousness?

Furthermore, the functions of the Cadis and Herman are essentially the same. However, Herman, who has now become the captain of a frigate, is clearly more valuable and knows more information.

I was tasked by my mentor to mark a near-Level 3 apprentice named Thor. However, it seems I failed. How am I going to explain this to my mentor?

"Apprentice... Level 3?" Thor twirled his wrist. "Not many people know this yet. Lady Yura is one, and Grand Duke Kira should be able to tell too. Some of the Level 3 wizard apprentices in the Duchy of Kema probably noticed it as well."

After all, third-level apprentices are different from second-level apprentices. They not only have positioning devices, but they can also perfectly integrate the positioning devices with their own spiritual bodies.

Their mental stability is much stronger than that of ordinary second-level apprentices.

After thinking for a moment, Thor continued, "Do you know why we marked Thor?"

My advisor said I don't need to know the reason.

"So you're just cannon fodder after all? You don't even know the purpose of this operation. So how are you going to mark it off?"

[Simply let the seeds of the Soul-Stealing Flower come into contact with his spiritual body.]

"After planting the mark, did your mentor instruct you on what to do after successfully completing the mission?"

[My mentor said that if I succeed in my mission, I should leave a mark at the entrance to Blackburg Forest. Others will then come and take over the mark. Strange, I clearly planted the mark, so why did it become invalid later? Could it be that the seed's energy has been exhausted?]

Is there a third person?

But this time the diary did not remind me.

However, Thor quickly figured it out.

To lure out the third person, they need to be marked by the seed. However, with the diary existing, the mark obviously cannot be preserved. In other words, the marking will not succeed, and the third person will likely never appear.

However, since Thor can learn the whole story from Cadis, even if a third person doesn't appear, things won't get much worse.

Thinking about it this way, Thor finally felt a little more at ease.

He hasn't conducted any statistics or experiments on the new type of prompts in the diary, so he doesn't know what kind of adverse consequences it would ultimately cause to trigger the diary to issue a prompt.

It is highly likely that death will occur after a longer period of time. However, this longer period is only relative to the crisis that would have occurred within minutes previously.

Saul felt that, based on the diary's previous characteristics, the crisis, at most, would escalate from a few minutes to several hours.

"If someone takes over the mark, what might they do?" Thor suppressed the idea of ​​starting the research now and continued the "interrogation."

"...I don't know. This is also my first time handling the seeds of the Soul-Stealing Flower. I used to be just a lowly level three apprentice, and I was only recently promoted by my mentor."

Thor rubbed his temples.

"How come this Cadis doesn't know anything? What did his mentor promote him for? Was he promoted to be cannon fodder?"

I completely forgot to post it last night!!!

As expected, I haven't developed the habit of updating at night; I'm going straight to bed...
