Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 309 Mentor

"Consciousness...soul..." Thor repeated unconsciously.

He knew that these two concepts were not equivalent. However, his previous learning had never provided detailed definitions for either concept.

"You should have already learned these concepts."

"But the book has never given a very clear definition."

"Yes, you're not ready to know yet. It's like you can walk, but if you were asked to move your muscles and bones on your own, you probably wouldn't be able to."

Thor nodded thoughtfully. "However, I still don't understand why the people who travel by land would go to such great lengths to influence my consciousness. I'm just an apprentice."

Gorsa chuckled again. "Do you think they're targeting you to oppose me?"

Thor didn't say anything, but that's what he had always thought.

Upon his return, he deliberately asked Senior Byron to distract others so that he could report the matter to the Tower Master alone as soon as possible and alert him.

Although Gorsa is a top-tier second-tier wizard, it's impossible for him to fight against the entire Land-based Ship faction at the same time.

Moreover, it's clear that land-based ships have allies.

"Do you really think you're just a tool used against me? Didn't you just single-handedly kill a seasoned Level 3 Apprentice?"

Thor was taken aback.

He had become so accustomed to his status as a low-level wizard apprentice that he never considered that he had any value to be exploited.

But in the eyes of the tower master, he seemed to have grown into someone who was worth a great price to be manipulated.

"Do those who travel by land and water really want to control me?"

"It's not impossible. Don't forget, you're already my student. Doesn't that prove your worth?"

The tower owner was quite confident.

Thor lowered his head slightly, but then suddenly noticed something and looked up sharply. "Lord Tower Master, you mean...?"

Call me mentor.

Thor opened his mouth wide.

This is Gorza's official recognition of him.

But what about Kaz, the mentor?

Of course, he wouldn't ask such a silly question right now, but immediately replied, "Yes, mentor!"

"Hmm." Gorsa responded with a smile, then steered the conversation back on track, "We're now pretty sure your spiritual body has been tampered with, and it's very likely the effect of the Land-Walking Soul-Losing Flower."

"So how can I get rid of this influence?"

"Perhaps we can consider using this influence... to find the enemies hiding in the wizard tower."

Thor's eyes lit up; he had the same idea, but he didn't want to say it directly.

"I don't know much about the Soul-Losing Flower; it's a secret known only to the core members of the Land-based Ark. However, based on their past performance and your experience this time, I can roughly deduce that it's an ability that can influence a person's consciousness, thereby controlling their behavior or thoughts."

"Remote control can be achieved through two methods: one is by using demonic creatures, the other is by using mental energy radiation, and the last one is something you don't need to know yet, as the Soul-Losing Flower couldn't possibly be that powerful."

"The first two methods are also difficult to control for a long time, especially after you return to the Wizard Tower. If they want to strengthen their influence on you, they must continue to exert influence without interruption."

Thor blinked slowly. Did the Tower Master, no, Instructor Gorsa really not know about the Soul-Losing Flower's abilities? Why did he guess almost perfectly?

Gorsa noticed Thor's surprise, but he clearly couldn't guess the reason for it.

"For the next part, remember to keep the puppet I gave you with you at all times." Gorsa turned his head to look at him. "Did you already throw it away?"

"No!" Saul said immediately. "I... I just didn't bring it with me when I went out these past few times."

But he didn't seem very confident when he spoke.

In order to conceal the existence of the diary, he deliberately did not bring the red-eyed puppet that Gorsa had given him.

After all, Lady Yora had once hidden inside, and Thor was worried that Gorza might still be monitoring him from within.

But his most crucial secret is one he cannot tell anyone.

Of course, Kismet, who already knew everything, was an exception.

But it was precisely because of the unexpected appearance of that time bomb-like figure that Saul became even more convinced that the fewer people who knew about the diary, the better.

Fortunately, Gorsa didn't dwell on why Thor wasn't carrying the puppet. He simply reminded him again, "From now on, carry it with you at all times."

"Yes, mentor." Thor replied, since the diary had already entered his mental body and he was certain that it could directly resist Gorsa's mental detection.

That red-eyed puppet is nothing; it can be taken down easily.

"This puppet can temporarily house a spirit and is extremely sensitive to mental energy. By inputting a certain amount of mental energy into it, you can make it remember your fluctuation characteristics. In the future, if any other person or creature tries to affect the Soul-Losing Flower within your spirit body, the puppet will sense it, its eyes will turn black, and it will also issue a warning to you."

It turned out to be the case.

When his mentor gave him this puppet, he probably intended to test whether there would be any abnormalities in his mental state.

"Thank you, mentor."

Gorsa nodded. "After leaving this room, do not mention the Land Boat or the Soul-Losing Flower to anyone. Not even to yourself."

Should we leave this room?

A series of guesses flashed through Thor's mind, but before he could ask any questions, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The familiar door and rows of bookshelves in the corridor led him to find himself in a private library on the 19th floor.

"Thor?" A deep, hoarse voice came from behind.

Thor turned around and saw his mentor, Kaz, standing in the corridor.

"Mentor, what are you doing here?" Thor quickly went over.

Kaz looked at Thor with a complicated expression. "You... you've already become a Level 3 Apprentice. That's even faster than you became a Level 2 Apprentice."

His back seemed to have hunched over a bit more, and the wrinkles on his face were becoming more pronounced.

"The tower master is better at judging people than I am."

Looking at his mentor, Thor didn't know what to say, but the other party obviously didn't need Thor's comfort.

"The Tower Master asked me to wait for you here. Now that you've been recognized by the Tower Master and become his student, you don't need to call me mentor anymore. Just call me Mentor Kaz, like everyone else."

Thor did not disown Kaz after becoming Gorza's apprentice, but before he could speak, Kaz raised his right hand and shook it.

Saul noticed a charred mark on his palm.

It must be a fresh wound.

"Don't refuse. Actually, at the beginning, I was planning to give up on you." Kaz smiled with relief, turned around with his hands behind his back, and gestured for Thor to follow.

The two walked towards the ramp leading to the upper and lower levels.

"The tower master asked me to give you a chance to work in the morgue."

Thor had already guessed some of this, so he wasn't surprised.

"That's when I discovered that you were surprisingly suited to dark magic. This is different from your elemental perception talent; it's a way of thinking and habits that are very suitable for dark magic. You weren't tired of dealing with corpses and stench all day long, and you even boldly used materials from the corpses to modify your body."

Kaz couldn't help but glance at Thor again; he could still recall his initial shock.

There was still a lingering fear, after all, the Tower Master had just entrusted Thor to him, and if it turned out that the person had killed him, Kaz didn't know if he would be held responsible.

"It wasn't until then that I realized your talent. It was my narrow-mindedness to simply think about magic power and mental strength stats."

As Kaz kept criticizing himself, Thor tried to interject several times but failed.

Today, Kaz's mentor had an unusually large number of reflections.

The two walked to the ramp, then went up to the 20th floor.

This is Thor's first time here.

The 20th floor is different from the other floors of the Wizard Tower.

There is a large bronze gate at the entrance.

It's exactly the same as the one on the first floor of the East Tower!

Kaz walked over and placed his left and right hands on the two doors respectively.

"From this moment forward, you are officially authorized to participate in the Tower Master's experiment. Now, I will explain the details of the experiment to you."

I didn't forget this time, I just wrote slowly.
