Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 414 Cover-up

Gorsa simply smiled when he heard Thor's declaration of loyalty.

He had made it clear to Thor that if Thor's research failed to achieve its intended purpose in the resurrection experiment, then Thor would become the subject of the research.

With such a threat, he wasn't afraid that Thor wouldn't be attentive.

Thor simply said that.

If Gorza keeps his promise, Saul will naturally do his job diligently.

"Mentor, may I keep my promotion a secret for now?"

The promotion certainly can't be kept secret for long. But for the time being, being an apprentice is more reassuring than being a full-fledged wizard.

Moreover, while formal wizards have teaching duties within the wizard tower, Thor currently lacks the time to teach and guide other apprentices every day in the face of the resurrection experiment that is scheduled to begin within six months.

"Okay," Gorsa agreed without even asking why.

Saul then asked, "Is Lady Yura with you?"

Gorsa stood up and said casually, "She won't know about our conversation."

After saying that, Gorsa walked up to Thor and suddenly placed his hand on Thor's left shoulder.

Thor froze, but refrained from resisting.

Then he felt as if a cold chain had pierced through his left shoulder.

It doesn't hurt, but it feels like there are thorns growing in the gaps between my bones.

"You've just advanced, and your magic and mental power are intertwined like a newlywed couple, making it obvious to everyone. I'll plant a thorn in your body; if you're careful to control your power, no one will notice."

After saying that, he took two steps back, letting Saul check his own physical condition.

Thor raised his hand and placed it on his left shoulder, probing with his mental energy. He discovered that the existence of this thing did indeed cause the previously harmonious and well-coordinated magic and mental energy to show signs of "arguing".

But if Thor exerts a little effort, he can break through this disguise.

Gorsa's disguise for him was based on the principles of formal wizard advancement, which was far more reliable than simply concealing his strength.

With this disguise, the news of Thor's promotion can be kept secret for longer, perhaps even until the very last moment.

And why did Gorsa's mentor help him without asking any questions? Was it because he had also discovered something?

Although he seemed to care about nothing, as the master of the tower, he couldn't possibly be completely unaware.

Even if he's proud, he must be prepared for the upcoming resurrection experiment, right?

Seeing that Thor understood the principle of concealing one's strength almost immediately, Gorsa smiled slightly. "Alright, do you have any other questions about participating in the experiment?"

"Thank you, I have no more questions." Thor suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a second, and then asked, "By the way, mentor. If the Heywood you just took away was only Heywood from a certain period of time, then how did he know what happened a few hours before I entered the mezzanine while he was in the mezzanine?"

Gorsa crossed his arms, leaned back, and looked down at Thor. "You've been communicating with him that much? Looks like you really are treating the mezzanine like your little garden."

His tone changed slightly; it was hard to tell if he was angry.

But then his voice took a few detours.

"Because many people's ulterior motives are hidden in the interlayer."

He winked his right eye at Thor.

"That includes me."

Gorza vanished from Thor's sight, and then the shadow that had disappeared from the room bounced back.

Thor stood there for a long time, lost in thought about Gorza's words.

……

The next day, at Professor Rum's dormitory.

Having just completed an adaptation experiment, Yura emerged from an eyeless puppet, transforming into a black silhouette, and sat on a seat with her legs crossed.

On the other side, the agile Katz immediately stepped forward to record the puppet's changes.

Rum remained seated in the corner, his eyes fixed on Yura's condition.

Have you experienced any unusual reactions in the past few days?

Rum was referring to the incident a few days ago when Yura suddenly lost control and had to use Blue Water Soul to stabilize her emotions.

Katz also heard about this, but he wasn't there at the time. He only knew that with Rum's help, Yura regained her composure.

"It's okay, I went back and asked Gorsa. He told me it was because the mark I left with Thor was destroyed that it affected my condition." Yura grabbed her hair, pulled it out, and then stuck it back on.

"You left a mark on Thor?" Kaz realized he knew nothing about it.

"Heh, isn't it just because I'm looking after Gorsa's little apprentice?" Yura chuckled, changing the subject. "But with the experiment approaching, Gorsa has already stopped letting me split the soul imprint."

Kaz nodded quickly. "You can't move around anymore. You need to stay still. Otherwise, the experiment will begin..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "By the way, I also looked at the gray potion developed by Byron. The formula is somewhat similar to that of Blue Water Soul, but because his potion is for living people, it is less toxic."

He suggested to Yura, "If you find taking Blue Water too painful, we could try Byron's method..."

"No need!" Yura flatly rejected Kaz's suggestion. "There's no need to reduce the toxicity. Pain will keep me alert. Otherwise, I won't be unaware of what Gorsa might do to me when I enter the container."

Rum's brow twitched, and a faint mockery appeared on his face, but it was quickly hidden by his fat.

Katz said helplessly, "The Tower Master can be quite forceful at times, but he did it all to revive you."

Yura sat there, shifted her leg, and waited for more than ten seconds before slowly speaking, "I know, haven't I been cooperating with your experiments all along? Anyway, I have the least say in this matter."

Rum said with a relaxed smile, "The experiment has entered the final confirmation stage. If all goes well, we should be able to conduct the formal resurrection experiment within six months. In any case, once the experiment is successful, we will be free."

Kaz quickly agreed, "That's right. Once the experiment is successful, we'll have fulfilled the Tower Master's request, and then we can do whatever we want."

Kars is the oldest of the three, but he also has the most ideas about life after completing the resurrection experiment.

"I don't plan to leave the Wizard Tower, after all, I've gotten used to living here. But I could take a long vacation and travel around. I heard that the city of Caulgris near Bluewater Bay has been transformed into something amazing by Bydon Academy, where even ordinary people can use wizarding tools to live. I'd really like to go there and see for myself."

Yura sneered, "Using wizarding tools? Aren't those ordinary people afraid of being contaminated? Or do the wizards of Bydon Academy simply not care how long ordinary people can live?"

Rum was clearly also very interested in this topic.

"It's impossible for ordinary people to actually use witchcraft tools. Even if they did, it would definitely be limited to a specific group of people. After all, if Baidong Academy wants to recruit new apprentices, it must consider the population base. They only have the territory of one city."

"That's why I said I'd go take a look." Kaz stroked his beard, still looking very curious.

Yura poured cold water on the idea again, "Come on, even if the resurrection experiment is completed, Gorza might have new ideas. This guy... loves making decisions for you without your consent."

I went out to play; the next chapter will be tonight.
