Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 336 Armed Spirit Body

Unfortunately, regardless of whether Thor's conjecture is correct or not, this power cannot currently be applied to other consciousnesses.

But this gave Thor a new idea.

"Based on my current experimental results, the body rejects souls that do not belong to it. This rejection does not exist in a single part, but throughout the entire body, in every inch of skin, and in every bone. It's as if the memory of the original soul is engraved in the genes."

This part is a conjecture that Thor recorded in his previous notes.

However, this conjecture is not easy to verify, and even Professor Gorsa may not be able to explore information at the genetic level.

Moreover, Thor couldn't even verify whether genes existed in this world.

He simply named this fundamental information existing in cells "genes" according to his memories from his previous life.

However, although he could not verify the principle behind this conjecture, he could summarize the superficial information that the body could provide based on it.

"If I could measure the characteristics of the souls that a container could accommodate—let's call them soul parameters—could I then cover the souls with an outer shell adjusted to those soul parameters, allowing them to live peacefully within the container?"

It's like giving a key to an outsider to open a door.

Once you figure out the shape of the lock and make the corresponding key, you can let other people into the room.

This is how Saul developed his experimental ideas based on his own experience.

He's just different from others.

Everyone else gets keys made, but he has a master key.

Such an experiment, targeting both the soul and the vessel, could certainly not have been accomplished by Thor alone.

However, he has a whole team behind him.

Once the initial experimental design is submitted and approved by Professor Gorsa, personnel and funding support can be applied for.

Perhaps other professors will also participate in his experimental projects and follow his instructions...

Just thinking about it makes me feel so good!

Thor calmed himself down and returned to reality. Right now, all of this was just speculation; he needed at least some preliminary experimental data to convince his mentor, Gorsa.

"There is another serious problem now. I have run out of Sound Grinding Fruits. If I can't find any stock or substitutes, I may not be able to access the Consciousness Platform again for a while."

Thinking of this, Thor asked Penny, "Since you know about the Battlefield of Consciousness, you should also know something about the Consciousness Platform, right? I'm currently lacking the Sound Grinding Fruit, a crucial potion for stabilizing my emotions. Since you have a portion of Penny's memories, do you know where else the Sound Grinding Fruit exists?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Thor's question, Penny flapped her wings and flew up until she was level with Thor's eyes.

Its voice was full of pleasure, and a little smug, "Brother Thor, with me here, what need is there for the Sound-Polishing Fruit? Have you forgotten that I'm best at controlling other people's consciousness and perception?"

"Oh?" Thor raised an eyebrow, knowing this was the Nightmare Butterfly's second display of her abilities. He feigned disbelief and said, "Didn't you say you'd lost most of your power? Didn't you say you could no longer control other people's perceptions? Why can you do it again now? Are you lying to me?"

"No, no, Brother Thor, I wouldn't dare lie to you."

Penny's voice suddenly dropped another eight octaves.

"Isn't my ability restricted by your diary? Actually, some of my abilities are locked away by the diary. But, well, as long as you, my dear brother, loosen the restrictions the diary places on me a little, I can use some of my abilities. Just a little bit will do."

Penny then added, "But don't relax too much, or I'm afraid all my past memories will come back, and I'll die again!"

Is this a plea for Thor to continue sealing it?

Thor nodded knowingly. "I see. At least you're not lying to me. I can't stand my possessions deceiving me."

"No, I wouldn't dare."

"So let's get back to our original topic. I'm relaxing my restrictions on your abilities, and you're helping me stabilize my emotions. How will this stabilization be achieved? And how long will it last?"

Penny said somewhat guiltily, "Just let you have a dream. As for the time limit, given my current condition, it'll probably be... ten minutes?"

It was worried that Thor would find it too short.

But Thor nodded. "That's enough."

For now, all he needs to do is reliably enter the consciousness platform to bring people out or replenish their energy.

This is the most urgent task; other experiments can be carried out later.

"Next, let's check out the lakeside cabin and see if we've caught the owner behind it. And then..."

Thor thought for a moment, "Let's go to Bluewater Bay. My stored soul fragments are running low, and I'm also quite interested in the phenomenon of soul tides. Could the dead from a hundred years ago have experienced a surprise like Morton's?"

……

Two weeks later, at Blue Water Bay.

Thor stood on the deck.

The wind is quite strong today, and ordinary passengers are no longer allowed to stay on the open deck.

They were mostly enclosed in specific crystal glass domes, cautiously craning their necks to gaze at the sea of ​​clouds outside the ship's side.

Yes, it's a sea of ​​clouds, not a blue wave.

Thor is currently on an airship.

The airship's power and levitation come from propulsion arrays at the bow and stern, and a giant balloon overhead, respectively.

Propulsion arrays are not uncommon; such devices were found on land-based sailing vessels that Thor once captured. Some wizarding implements used for rapid travel also bear inscriptions of such arrays.

What's unusual is the balloons overhead.

It was a giant balloon made of leather with an embedded biofilm. It did not float on hot air generated by combustion, nor was it filled with the common hydrogen gas.

It is a special gas invented by wizards. This gas has a very low density and is also an inert gas, making it non-flammable and non-explosive. Its only drawback is its high price.

Therefore, only the wealthy and powerful could afford to travel by airship. Even ordinary wandering wizards couldn't bear to spend the money to do so.

They preferred to use horse-drawn carriages, which were primitive, slow, but inexpensive.

Thor was able to board this airship entirely thanks to his mentor, Gorza.

This airship was manufactured by the Bydon Academy, located in the southwest of the western continent, and the balloon on its head is also their exclusive technology.

However, the people from Bydon Academy would reserve a seat for Gorza on every airship, and even if he didn't use it once a year, they wouldn't sell that seat to anyone else.

With the letter from his mentor Gorza, Thor could ride the airship for free, traversing half of the western continent.

In just three days, you can cover a journey that would normally take a month.

At the same time, as a third-level wizard apprentice, he can walk on the outer deck without worrying about the weather conditions outside.

Due to energy consumption constraints, this airship isn't very large. Even the most luxurious cabins are small, and the excessive decorations inside make them feel even more cramped.

Therefore, day and night, Saul spent almost all his time on deck, enjoying the real storms. He wouldn't retreat back into the warm glass dome, no matter how fierce the wind whipped his cloak.

Thor's actions naturally caught the attention of those with ulterior motives.

A middle-aged man in a crisp blue and white uniform braved the strong wind, holding onto the fixed railing on the deck with one hand and pressing his hat tightly with the other, slowly approaching Saul.

"Hello!" The man opened his mouth, trying not to choke on the wind. "I'm Captain Harry of the Bluebird. I noticed you've been looking at the balloons overhead; are you interested in the gas inside?"
