Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 311 Division of Labor

Killing monsters above your level is extremely dangerous, but the rewards are enormous.

Even though he wasn't particularly fond of adventure, Thor could very well understand Gorza's thoughts.

To accomplish what only a fourth-tier wizard could do as a second-tier wizard—just thinking about it is exhilarating.

In fact, Gorsa has already achieved part of it. He has mastered spatial magic that only fourth-tier wizards can use, although the magic he uses may have significant limitations.

But that was enough to make him a second-tier wizard who could reign supreme throughout the entire western continent. It was said that even third-tier wizards treated him with great respect.

Which man wouldn't yearn for such status and power?

Kaz saw the fire in Thor's eyes. He turned away, expressionless, but inwardly sighing.

"He's still young after all. When faced with challenges, he can only think of the joy of success, without considering the difficulties involved. Will he be defeated? And how long can he maintain this passion?"

Katz gave Saul three minutes to think or rather, to daydream, before explaining the entire experimental procedure to him.

"There are two major challenges in the resurrection experiment: the soul and the body. The Tower Master is solely responsible for the first one. The souls of the dead are constantly dissipating their soul energy, and the probability of them being corrupted is also very high. Once they transform into vengeful spirits or evil spirits, there will be no chance of resurrection. At least, within the scope of my known knowledge, there is none."

"Therefore, in order to maintain the integrity and purity of Lady Yora's soul, he made great sacrifices, even going so far as to modify himself to ensure that Lady Yora's spirit could be preserved for a long time."

Thor recalled the first time he saw Lady Yura's complete face; she had ultimately entered the Tower Master's body and been taken away by him.

"So, Mrs. Yura usually stays inside the tower?"

"It's definitely not that simple! If the human body could hold the souls of other dead people, we wouldn't need to make so many containers to find suitable bodies."

Mentor Kaz waved his hand across the stone coffins in front of him; clearly, they were all bodies prepared for the resurrection of Lady Yura.

But it is obvious that none of them can truly meet the requirements for resurrection.

Otherwise, Kaz wouldn't look so dejected right now.

This is the expression of someone who has been utterly defeated, beginning to feel numb and even resigned—"Yes, I am a piece of trash."

"I won't go into the details of what the Tower Master is responsible for, since I'm not entirely clear on it myself. As for us... including you, our main responsibility is to find and create a container that can hold Lady Yura's spirit for a long time."

"So that's how it is." Thor recalled his experience studying in the Wizard's Tower, and realized that many things had been foreshadowed beforehand.

In the morgue, bodies are processed, and contaminated and uncontaminated materials are separated.

Participate in the soul infusion observation experiment led by mentor Rum and overseen by senior student Nick.

He studied sorcery related to spirits and took charge of the second storehouse, gaining a deeper understanding of materials science beyond the human body.

Thor still couldn't understand why the Tower Master had chosen him.

Is it because of his superior mental talent?

However, he is not responsible for maintaining the soul, but rather participates in the part of creating the vessel.

Shouldn't the responsibility be given to someone more knowledgeable and experienced in this field? Or do they think a newcomer might bring fresh perspectives?

If that's the case, it would be more reliable to publish the experimental data and let everyone brainstorm.

"For the container-making task, the Tower Master assigned tasks based on the respective areas of expertise of each mentor. For example, mentor Anze and I are mainly responsible for making containers. I am good at using human body materials for construction. And mentor Anze, who specializes in earth attributes, will choose more unique materials."

For example, the fat on Rum's body?

When Coach Kazi saw Thor's sudden realization, he immediately knew what Thor was thinking, but he shook his head.

"If you're thinking of the fat on Instructor Rum's body... that's not it. Although there are puppet containers in this lab, they were ruled out long ago. Nowadays, puppets are mostly used to test mental power and the state of spirits, to confirm whether they are normal and whether there are any signs of contamination."

"So, what area of ​​research is Professor Rum in charge of?"

"He and Gu Duo are mainly responsible for the compatibility of soul and material."

"I can understand that Instructor Rum specializes in water and light attributes. But Instructor Gudo, isn't he specializing in poison and metal attributes?" Thor couldn't imagine how someone who spends all his time researching new toxins could study the soul.

Kaz looked over helplessly. "Actually, he had already handed over the work of manufacturing toxins to his apprentices. Because there weren't enough people, everyone had to take on a lot of research work. But Gudo is very capable; he has already forged his own path."

"Regarding the compatibility between the soul and the vessel, Rum tends to modify the soul to fit the vessel, while Gudo modifies the vessel to accommodate the soul. He views the vessel's rejection of the spirit as a kind of toxin and considers ways to neutralize it."

Thor suddenly realized that those who were skilled at using poison were often also skilled at using antidotes.

That leaves only mentor Monica.

She is the only female wizard, and also the only one who specializes in lightning magic.

The key is that she's young and beautiful.

The only drawback is that she sometimes goes from being a beauty to being a stunner.

"Monica... she actually..." Instructor Kaz seemed a little hesitant, but considering that Thor might find out from others, he told Thor the truth.

"In fact, Monica was a formal wizard created by Gorza for his resurrection experiments."

"Created out of thin air?" Thor was stunned. If professional wizards could really mass-produce them, what would be the point of them being wizard apprentices?

"Yes, it cost a fortune and countless lives." Kaz sighed. "There were probably a hundred or two hundred people at the time, but only Monica successfully advanced to become a formal wizard. However, the tower master only needed one wizard with the lightning attribute, and the remaining dozen or so people, without the tower master's protection, quickly died one after another within a year or two."

"And all the useful materials extracted from these dead people were ultimately used on Monica to enhance her abilities."

Even without Kaz's instruction, Thor had already guessed Monica's abilities.

She focused on lightning because lightning magic was very good at cleansing away pollution.

She is key to helping the tower master keep his spirit and vessel from being contaminated!

In order to allow the resurrection experiment to continue for a long time, Gorza created a "bactericide" for his own experiment.

"By now, you should have a general understanding of the resurrection experiment. You're not the first apprentice to participate in this experiment, but I hope you'll be the last."

Thor knew that his mentor, Katz, was eager for the experiment to come to an end.

Judging from the wrinkles on his face and the dim look in his eyes, he probably didn't mind if the experiment ended in failure.

"I don't know." Thor looked at the old man, who was as tired in appearance and spirit, and didn't know how to tell him.

Based on all the information Thor has, dark clouds have already gathered over the Wizard Tower.

Gorza's extraordinary strength is of no concern, but for Instructor Kaz, the days of rest seem to be a long way off.
