Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 316 Experimental Assistant

The fourth black page in the diary was originally incomplete. After being replenished with the vengeful spirit's hand and a small amount of Angela's soul energy, it became a brand new page, and the consciousness inside transformed into a new personality—Angel.

However, this new personality was clearly not yet fully integrated and stable. She was mostly silent. Thor knew that Ann was trying to stabilize her self-awareness, so he didn't deliberately disturb her, lest the integration fail and she end up becoming a monster.

The flaws of not being integrated are now being exposed.

An always has some inexplicable memories in her mind. Some of these memories have clear origins, while others are just fragmented pieces.

She often needs to deliberately ignore those memories, otherwise she easily falls into distortion and confusion from which she cannot extricate herself.

It was thanks to finding refuge in his diary that he was able to maintain a stable mental state at all times.

Otherwise, three fragmented consciousnesses forcibly combined like this would have exploded in the inevitable conflict long ago.

"The fragmented consciousness of the evil spirit originated from the basement of the Ralph Bloodthorn family," Thor thought. "And the diary also came from there. It's clear that the evil spirit's origins are extraordinary. I should try to get Anne to recall it sometime; perhaps we can uncover more secrets about the diary."

However, Thor had no intention of asking further questions. He simply noted in his mind that An was familiar with the suggestive terminology of the Soul-Stealing Flower, and that she might have had dealings with the Land-Walking Boat.

Ordinary friends wouldn't know such confidential information.

Thor smiled with relief, feeling a great weight lifted from his shoulders.

Although the insects inside the wizard's tower have not yet been found, knowing the hints the other party intended to give them will allow them to take precautions in the future.

Sooner or later, they'll find the culprit.

"That's all for now. I'll tell my mentor what I found inside the corpse and the value of this mental energy fluctuation. As for how far my mentor can investigate... we'll just continue to follow his instructions."

With so much evidence, even the most arrogant Gorza would be more careful, right?

Thor was secretly promoted and nurtured by his mentor, Gorza. Although Gorza's educational approach was more laissez-faire, Thor was still grateful to him.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even have had the chance to work in the morgue, let alone undergo the witchcraft transformation that could have changed his fate.

"The Wizard Tower cannot be allowed to fall into danger, otherwise all the apprentices here will likely be drawn into this conspiracy against their mentors."

Thor's mind was filled with familiar and dear faces, as well as his experiences in the Wizard Tower over the years.

"Although this place is cold and unforgiving, it also provides me with a foothold."

Thor walked to the lab table, picked up the communication pen again, and called out to the tower master, Gorsa, whom he had only parted from less than half a day ago.

Because it involved an unknown mastermind, Saul did not write down the specifics, but only wrote that he hoped to see his mentor again.

This kind of information doesn't seem that urgent.

Thor was also prepared that it might be a while before he could see the Tower Master.

But he didn't expect that it would be half a month before he saw his new mentor again.

Thor wouldn't tell anyone about it until Gorza arrived in person, and he continued his apprenticeship as usual.

However, in addition to his work in the second warehouse, he now has an extremely high-level research project.

Who would have thought that a newly promoted third-level wizard apprentice would be able to participate in such a high-level experiment as resurrection?

After several days of deliberation, Thor quickly decided on the starting point for his research—he chose soul infusion, which he was most familiar with, and the vessel for infusion was also the human body, which he was familiar with.

To this end, he specifically requested a second-level apprentice in soul infusion from his mentor, Rum, who agreed without hesitation after hearing Thor's idea.

Best of all, Thor didn't have to pay for any of the experiments related to the circular laboratory.

However, Thor's timing was not good. The artificial level 2 apprentices he had created before were either dead or unable to participate in other experiments, and the new artificial level 2 apprentice... his soul had not yet been fully integrated with his body.

Because in soul infusion experiments, the gender of the soul and the physical body are not the same. While this can help the spirit stay in the body, it can also cause strong cognitive differences.

They had conducted many experiments before, and several times the infusion experiments had been successful, but at the last moment, the consciousness could not accept the new body, leading to alienation.

Therefore, when Rum was selecting participants for the experiment, he would choose some of his apprentices whose character had already deteriorated.

Because they are burdened with debt, they often don't care about such a small matter as gender reassignment.

However, none of the second-level apprentices produced in this way could last more than three years. Over time, their souls and bodies would begin to repel each other.

If they are forced to stay together, the end result will be the collapse of their souls and the dissolution of their bodies.

Nevertheless, the soul infusion experiment was the closest to success among many experiments.

Therefore, when Saul approached Rum, Rum provided him with many conveniences and told Saul that he could come to him with any problems he encountered.

And for the first time, Thor saw what his mentor Rum, who was as fat as a mountain, looked like when he smiled.

Friendly... yet dangerous.

Anyway, it was the first time Thor had seen Rum's voluptuous figure laughing.

He hurriedly said goodbye to his mentor, Rum, and returned to the second warehouse to wait for the experimental subjects—or rather, the assistants—to arrive.

The following days entered a strange period of calm.

The person behind the Lost Soul Flower made no further moves, and the mentor did not arrive. It seemed that the assistant Thor had requested would have to wait a few more days.

The warehouse work remains scarce.

Byron came to see him once, seemingly to check on Thor's progress after entering the third level of apprenticeship, and shared his learning experience after entering the third level with Thor.

This was mainly because Byron owed Thor more credits. Aside from these experiences, he didn't have much else to offer. After all, as the Tower Master's apprentice, Thor had virtually no shortage of experimental materials.

While some of the learning experiences Byron shared may not be suitable for Saul, they can still serve as a reference for him.

Byron's explanations were very detailed, covering areas that his mentors hadn't yet covered, especially regarding his knowledge of advancing to become a formal wizard.

Thor's two mentors are currently either offline or too afraid to overstep their bounds, which means he hasn't yet learned how a level three apprentice can advance to a full-fledged wizard.

Of course, Thor wasn't in a hurry to learn this knowledge. He had only entered the third level and had just learned his first second-tier spell. He didn't know how many more years he had to go before becoming a full-fledged wizard.

Even though his locator is in place, his own conditions, such as magic power, mental strength, and knowledge reserves, are not yet up to standard.

These are all things that require time to hone.

However, he can no longer use the witch body modification to quickly increase his magic power and mental strength as he used to.

When he completed the modification of Soul Devouring Ester, the level of materials he came into contact with exceeded the range of materials that a level two apprentice could originally apply for. This resulted in the materials he could obtain after entering level three being exactly the same as before. In other words, Thor was temporarily unable to perform a witch body modification of a higher level than Soul Devouring Ester.

There's absolutely no need for equal-level body modification; in fact, it's very harmful to the body and very expensive.
