Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 396 Searching for People and Hidden Dangers

Xiaozao, who had just woken up, had no idea what had happened.

It was just playing with the little butterfly that it could see but couldn't touch, as usual, but this time it actually managed to bite it.

Seeing the Nightmare Butterfly lying on the ground, its wings twitching, it turned to Thor, somewhat bewildered.

Thor patted Little Algae's head. "It's okay, Penny... she's probably just feeling a bit down."

After the small algae devoured the cryptocrystalline substance and went into slumber, Thor suspected that it might undergo some changes. Being able to touch the Nightmare Butterfly was both unexpected and logical.

After receiving the gift from the half-elf, Thor also gained the ability to touch the Nightmare Butterfly. However, he has not yet discovered any other use for it.

"Alright, I apologize on behalf of Xiaozao." Thor picked Penny up from the ground and found that although she was wet, she didn't have the sticky feeling of saliva. Instead, she looked like small water droplets condensing on a window in winter.

"To compensate you, I'll give you half a cryptocrystalline substance."

Upon hearing this, Penny immediately flew up from Thor's hand and shrieked, "One!"

Thor smiled.

"Okay, half a piece, deal!" Penny changed her mind immediately.

However, in preparation for tonight's dream tour, Thor did not let Penny absorb the half of the Hidden Crystal immediately, lest it overeat and fall into a deep sleep like Little Algae.

As night fell, Saul returned to the dormitory next to Byron's and fell asleep.

Sleep is a waste of time for many wizard apprentices. They only take a nap after accumulating fatigue for a long time to balance their condition.

Although there is little difference between sleep and meditation in terms of the degree of mental and physical recovery, and meditation may even be more efficient, waking up from deep sleep always gives people a feeling of physical and mental well-being.

Therefore, each apprentice still chooses to enter a state of sleep periodically. Combined with the stewards and servants in the lower levels of the wizarding tower, Thor is not worried that the power of dreams within the tower is too scarce.

When Thor opened his eyes again, for a moment he could hardly be sure if he was dreaming.

Because he was still lying in the unfamiliar dormitory, and everything around him was the same as before.

But when he sat up in bed, he found that he had a pair of silver butterfly wings on his back.

The wings looked like they were made of silver metal that had been processed and sculpted, but when Thor reached out to touch them, he felt a layer of fine down on them.

Sensing the information in his mind, Thor slowly flapped the wings behind him. Once he felt he could control them freely, he immediately began flapping the wings at a high frequency.

He didn't feel himself move, but the scenery around him was rushing past him.

It's like sitting on a high-speed train, watching the railings and trees outside the window rush past.

His wings suddenly stopped, and he fell into a bizarre and fantastical world.

Everywhere was bathed in the glow of the sunset, undulating and blending together. Besides the sunset, all you could see were a few children sleeping in the halo of light.

These small children with human forms are likely the consciousness of the dreamer, and they appear to be harmless.

Thor slowly flapped his wings, and his body began to move, gradually approaching the infant in the rosy light.

As he approached the group of infants, he discovered that none of them had faces.

Their bodies were normal, except for their faces, which looked as if they had been wiped off by something.

Perhaps due to Thor's shock causing a fluctuation in consciousness, or perhaps because he was too close, one of the infants moved slightly, and then its faceless head turned towards Thor.

"It's not Senior Byron." Thor immediately made the judgment from the other party's mental fluctuations, and then quickly flapped his wings before all the infants turned their heads.

The rapid flapping of wings represents leaping between dreams of different people and different consciousnesses.

Slowly flapping its wings, it's moving within the same dream.

Although the legend of the Nightmare Butterfly is mysterious, they are not without limitations, otherwise they wouldn't have been chased so relentlessly by second-tier wizards.

They harm or injure people mainly by subtly and gradually altering their memories.

It mainly relies on dream travel.

When the scene around him stopped again, Thor saw two huge, opposing faces.

These two faces were so tall that even after flying for a while, Thor only flew from their mouths to their nostrils.

"With such a big face, it's hard to even tell what it looks like."

As Thor was thinking about how to influence the other party, one of the faces suddenly opened its eyes.

He seemed to have noticed Thor's presence, his eyes darting downwards.

Then he suddenly opened his mouth, and a strong gust of air slammed Thor down onto the bridge of his nose on the opposite side of his face.

And the face opposite also awakened as a result.

"This isn't it either." After confirming that the other party was not Byron, Thor immediately flapped his wings.

The two enormous faces facing each other immediately receded into the distance.

Thor then went through dozens more dreams.

He even suspected that one of them was a dream of some vengeful spirit.

Tonight, Thor didn't encounter anything too dangerous, but at the same time, he didn't find Byron's consciousness either.

Despite Penny's assistance, Thor was eventually kicked out of the dream world due to fatigue of his consciousness after exploring dozens of dreams.

This time he quickly entered a deep sleep without any dreams.

For the next three days, Thor spent his days researching the gray potion, the first half of the night searching for people, and the second half sleeping.

Unfortunately, the distance between dreams often has little to do with the distance between their creators, so even though Thor was sleeping next door to Byron, he still couldn't find any trace of his senior's spirit.

The longer the time passed, the more anxious he became.

On the morning of the fourth day, there was a sudden knock on the door of Thor's dormitory.

Thor, who was still sleeping, immediately opened his eyes and jumped out of bed.

He hurried over to open the door and was delighted to see Claire standing outside.

"You're finally here." Thor breathed a sigh of relief and quickly let Claire in.

Keli had two crescent-shaped dark circles under her eyes. After coming in, she sat down on the only chair in the living room.

"I'm exhausted. I made ten batches of high-quality adhesive in the past two days. And I did it in front of the tower master. My legs are still weak."

Although Kelley was so frightened when she first met Gorsa, after three days of getting to know him, she became much more at ease around him.

This time, my legs went weak because I was really tired, not because I was scared.

Saul had originally intended to ask her about the adhesive, and the note he left in her dorm was also for this reason, so he quickly and attentively brought her water and food.

"Could you provide me with a formula for a high-quality adhesive?"

Claire was gulping down her water when she heard this, so she put down her glass and looked at Thor.

She hesitated only slightly before replying, "Sure, anyway, my advisor never said this needed to be kept secret from you."

After saying that, she stopped drinking water and directly picked up the paper and pen on Saul's table to start copying.

Having already produced ten high-quality adhesives, she now knew the formula by heart.

Thor watched as the other person wrote out the entire preparation process bit by bit, while he pondered whether there were any hidden dangers in putting these ingredients together.

However, this formula is based more on the properties of other elements, and much of it is outside Thor's knowledge.

So after Claire finished writing, Saul asked about all the parts he didn't understand.

Although Keli has not yet been promoted to Level 3 Apprentice, she is very knowledgeable and familiar with adhesives and various toxins.

She immediately explained to Saul.

"Claire, do you think there are any hidden dangers in this potion?"

"Hidden dangers?"

"For example, if this potion is combined with a material of a certain attribute, it will become a highly poisonous substance?"
