Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 388 New Plan

"Waaaaah..."

The sound of crying echoed in Thor's mind.

As Thor walked out of the forest, he said helplessly, "Penny, why are you crying again?"

"Waaah, I almost got my master into trouble."

Saul tried to persuade him a couple of times to no avail, so he simply changed the subject.

"Didn't you say you were looking for the meaning of your existence? How come you've found it yet?"

To everyone's surprise, Penny cried even louder, "I thought I had found it, but it turns out my perception was just manipulated. Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

Thor was speechless. Although Penny always had a girlish voice, she had never been this emotional before.

It's probably a lingering effect of having one's perceptions distorted; perhaps only time can heal it.

"But why are you searching for the meaning of existence? Is there something you're still confused about?" Thor asked curiously, also trying to pull himself out of his slump.

"Waaah... Brother Thor, do you know? Nightmare Butterflies aren't creations of nature. We were actually created by a wizard."

"What?" Thor exclaimed in surprise. "The Nightmare Butterfly, capable of observing history, is also a creation of a wizard?"

Fortunately, he had absorbed so much knowledge recently that he quickly calmed down.

"And what about the wizards who created you?"

"She's gone mad."

"...Uh, okay."

"How powerful were the wizards who created you?"

"All I know is that he had been a fourth-tier wizard for a long time before I left him."

"Can a fourth-tier wizard create a Nightmare Butterfly that exists between consciousness and physical form, and can observe history and enter dreams?"

"Brother Thor, there's a big difference between wizards and wizard apprentices. The difference in strength between wizards at each level is enormous."

Penny told Thor what she knew about the differences in wizarding abilities.

Wizard apprentices can only attack one point at a time, but full wizards can attack in an area.

This is because they have already been able to influence the operation of magic within a certain area.

Furthermore, their sorcery attacks can also carry certain attributes from their own locators.

In other words, the locator has shed its role as a purely defensive device and can now be used offensively.

Second-tier wizards can compress their own magic and mental power, which greatly increases the amount of power they can store.

At the same time, they can also possess greater resilience, which can help them resist pollution and withstand the damage caused by the release of more power.

Third-tier wizards are even more terrifying. They can turn the locator into a converter, allowing them to convert and utilize external forces. Therefore, a single strike from a third-tier wizard can destroy a city.

The fourth-order Penny didn't explain; she said her understanding might not be correct, and if she was wrong, Thor might be corrupted.

It seems that Penny felt guilty about the mistake she made today, otherwise she wouldn't have been so proactive in imparting knowledge to Saul.

"And what about you, Penny? What was your skill level at your peak?"

"Not bad, about second tier. But we Nightmare Butterflies also have third tier members. They're just not in the western continent."

Not even at the second tier? No wonder Kismet chased him so hard he was running for his life.

Before they knew it, the two had left the forest.

Their carriage, parked outside the forest, remained quietly there, with even a pile of fresh, tender grass beside the horses.

As Thor approached the carriage, several black tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground and hopped towards him.

But when they tried to blend into Thor's nape, they were blocked as if they had hit glass.

A few tentacles swayed pitifully on the ground, so Thor had no choice but to pick them all up.

"Xiao Zao hasn't woken up yet, so please wait outside for now."

As Thor continued to approach the carriage, one of the tentacles suddenly split open and bit his hem.

Thor paused, seemingly lost in thought, and composed himself before stepping forward to open the car door.

Inside the carriage, Gorza, draped in a brownish-red cloak and wrapped in pink bandages, raised his hand, which was also wrapped in bandages, to greet Thor.

"Are you out?"

Thor immediately bowed and greeted him, "Mentor..."

His greeting came to an abrupt halt because he saw a human head beside Gorsa's hand.

Mark's head.

Mark's eyes widened and his mouth was slightly open, completely unprepared for his impending death.

Thor's heart pounded twice. He suppressed his breathing and slowly looked up at Gorsa.

Gorsa's eyes were still smiling. "He used your name and had a half-elf send him out, which could have cost you your life. So I killed him to avenge you."

Thor gaped, inwardly wondering, "Whose anger is this on their behalf?"

Seeing that Sol believed him, Gorsa's eyes curved into an even wider smile.

"Just kidding."

He reached out and gently patted Mark's bloodless head. "This guy has consumed too much Hidden Crystal and has begun to mutate. If we let him live, he will continue to cultivate others into Hidden Crystals, which is detrimental to the development of the Wizard Tower."

Gorsa's silver eyes swept over Thor, then he suddenly asked with interest, "How many did you eat?"

Thor immediately shook his head. "I didn't eat it."

"Good boy." Gorza's smile deepened. "I suppose you don't need to. Come on up, I'll take you back and tell you about the latest developments in Kars and Rum's resurrection experiment. It's a very gratifying result."

Thor didn't dare to delay and quickly climbed onto the carriage.

Just as he was about to ask Gorsa about driving, he saw Gorsa casually throw out a magic scroll.

The scroll, once it fell outside, transformed into a faceless person. He bowed to Gorsa and Thor, then climbed onto the carriage and lightly flicked the reins.

The carriage moved under the control of this "driver" who didn't even have eyes.

Thor closed the car door, and the noise outside immediately subsided.

He looked at the head opposite him, which Gorsa was using as a cushion, and slowly looked away.

After a moment of silence in the carriage, Gorsa spoke, "Kaz and Rum have discovered a new dark-attribute material. They named it Blue Water Soul."

"Blue Water Soul?" Thor asked in surprise. "Could it be the material found in Blue Water Bay?"

Gorsa laughed, "So you've been there too. It's certainly a rare find... it's just a pity it was made with human lives."

The soul tides of Bluewater Bay are indeed dangerous for ordinary people, and the soul fragments within are equally extraordinary. Thor and Byron studied them there for a while but couldn't find the cause.

Gorsa reached into his robes and pulled a small, transparent ball from a gap in the bandages. Inside the ball, a misty, cloud-like substance swayed gently.

"This is a semi-finished product. Rum has found a material that can reduce the toxicity of Blue Water Soul, thereby increasing the strength of the soul. The toxin that Gudo is currently developing can also paralyze both the body and the soul, thus creating a kind of stickiness between them..."

"In short, if this experiment is successful, we can create a container for Yura that can last for ten years without causing mutation. Continuing the experiment along this line of thought, we anticipate that the lifespan could be extended to fifty years."

Thor listened attentively; this plan was somewhat similar to his own, only the direction was different.

Similarly, by extending the time the soul spends within the container, the frequent changes of body and the body's own contamination of the soul are reduced.

As Thor was still pondering this new plan, Gorza looked up, his silver eyes standing out sharply in the slightly dim carriage.

"That's fine, then I won't have to risk activating the backup plan. After all, the backup plan has only been under development for a few years, so it's still not very reliable."

Solton immediately felt a "whoosh" along his spine, as if something cold had swept over him.
