Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 456 A chilling thought

Thor and everyone around him who was still alive and conscious were shocked.

How could a perfectly healthy second-tier character just die like that?

Penny flew over and carefully approached Jassim's body, then circled over the last remaining puddle of slime on Karon.

"Brother Thor, they're all dead."

Thor then walked over and knelt down next to Jassim.

"This Jassim is a second-tier wizard, after all. What exactly is that time limit? How could he just die like that?"

"Brother Thor, could it be something like the upper limit of life that Agu was talking about?"

"That's certainly possible. But when it comes to matters of life and death, it's hard to get someone to make such a decisive self-sacrifice."

Thor thought about how anxious Jassim was on the airship, as if he didn't have enough time.

Did he know at that time that his time was about to expire? So, after confirming that Thor was not his target, did he immediately leave to pursue the others?

Saul reached out and grabbed Jassim's left arm.

He just checked his left arm and confirmed that his time was up.

But when Thor examined his left arm, whether checking for mental vibrations, magical vibrations, or using his semi-immersive meditation, he found nothing.

"Perhaps the effects on him disappeared after his death. The anomalies that can be detected by the semi-immersive meditation method combined with the erosion diagram are becoming fewer and fewer. It's time to find a better meditation method."

Thor has become a full-fledged wizard, but he hasn't changed his meditation method yet. Firstly, he leveled up too quickly and didn't have time to find a suitable meditation diagram. Secondly, he's somewhat reluctant to give up the abilities brought by the Erosion Diagram.

Both semi-immersive meditation and the erosion diagram astral projection method played a significant role in his adventures.

If you switch to a new meditation method, it would be best to retain these two abilities, or at least keep the convenient way to allow his soul to leave his body.

Because the observational abilities of semi-immersive meditation can be completely replaced by the Nightmare Butterfly.

"However, I have another way to find out what exactly happened to Jassim."

Thor stood up again, took out the tools for drawing witchcraft circles from his bag, and began to summon the spirits on the spot.

Okay, it's soul extraction.

As he began to draw, the survivors around him, including Lord McKen in the banquet hall, emerged with lingering fear.

Lord McKen's legs were so weak at first that he could barely stand and needed the support of his guards to walk out.

For years, he had never felt the danger posed by the seemingly harmless wizard Caron, to the point that he almost forgot how ruthless a real wizard could be when reaping lives.

And how powerless ordinary people are.

Even knights and great knights wouldn't be able to kill the wizard in the sky with just a shard of black blade.

This world truly is still a wizarding world!

He walked over and saw Thor drawing a magic circle. Mustering his courage, he pushed aside the guard supporting him and stepped forward to ask, "Lord Thor, what should we do now? Is there anything I can do?"

When Thor stopped what he was doing and turned around, he could clearly see the fear in Lord McKen's eyes.

He smiled and reassured the other person, "I don't need it here. You go and get the others in order. The commotion just now probably reached outside the city lord's mansion, and if it's not dealt with promptly, it could cause panic."

"Okay, sure," McKen agreed, but didn't move. "Lord Thor, won't this place cause pollution?"

Thor glanced at the black slime beside him. "Normally it wouldn't, but it's possible it attracted something from somewhere else. I'll deal with it briefly, and I suggest no one enter this courtyard for the next ten years."

"Okay, okay." McCann agreed even more readily this time. "I'll have everyone evacuate right now. If you need anything, just call us anytime."

After saying that, McKen seemed to have regained his demeanor as the city lord, directing everyone to help the wounded and carry the bodies, and quickly cleared the courtyard.

Moreover, this is just a courtyard used for entertaining guests, and sealing it off for ten years will not affect McCann's other activities.

Of course, if he still has concerns, he can always change the house to serve as the city lord's mansion.

After all, in Blue Water City, five or six out of ten houses are empty.

After everyone around had left, Thor's soul extraction array was completed.

He casually tossed the materials in his hand back into his bag and then moved Qasim's corpse onto the magic circle.

Thor then followed and stepped into the magic circle, making a spellcasting gesture with his hands in front of his chest, and white flames immediately rose from beneath his feet.

The flames flowed like ripples on water, from a blazing fire to a slow, extinguishing ember.

Thor opened his eyes again, his brows slowly furrowing.

"Nothing was found. Jassim's method of suicide shattered his soul as well; apart from some energy, he had no complete consciousness."

In fact, Thor could have tried to absorb Jassim's spirit the moment he died using Soul Fishing.

But, well, who knows if there are other hidden dangers?

If someone's spirit also has a time bomb planted inside, Thor would suffer a great loss.

A second-tier wizard is still too unpredictable.

"Jassim must have known this too, which is why he gave me that knowledge before he died." Thor shook his head, sensing the little black snake within his spirit body struggling to diminish its presence. "Powerful people, powerful organizations."

He withdrew from the magic circle, raised his hand and released two fireballs, burning the remaining spirit of Kalon and Jassim's corpse to ashes.

After resolving these issues, Thor inspected the courtyard and banquet hall, and only left after confirming that no vengeful spirits had been generated.

Outside the door, Lord Mack, along with his men and several large boxes, waited anxiously.

Seeing Thor come out, he quickly stepped forward. "Lord Thor, I've had everything moved from Caron's residence over. Now his servants can't and dare not enter his laboratory. Why don't you come with me to see if there are any problems? If there's anything you need, please take it with you. We don't need the wizard's things."

Lord McKen was quite sensible; he had already helped Thor clear out all the spoils of war.

However, Thor felt that since Charon was hiding his identity and strength here, his apparent residence might not contain anything of value.

As he expected, aside from a few dozen magic crystals and some low-grade sorcery materials, Thor gained nothing else.

Those study and experiment notes were obviously meant to fool junior apprentices; Thor glanced at them and tossed them aside.

Afterwards, Saul firmly refused Lord McKen's invitation to stay another night.

After leaving the city lord's mansion, Marsh, who was hiding in the alley across the street, immediately drove the carriage over.

After Saul got in the car, they walked two blocks before he saw the car door open and close, and Agu also crawled in.

"Master, we just detected a powerful magical fluctuation in the city lord's mansion, which then disappeared. I separated from Marsh, intending to meet you. After waiting for a while, I saw someone coming out to appease the civilians, so I told Marsh to wait for you at the gate."

"Jassim just appeared at the city lord's mansion," Thor recounted his experience there. Then, Agu asked, "Do you know what the time limit is? And what the Tribunal is?"

Agu shook his head with some difficulty, "This is the first time I've heard of a time limit either."

"I've heard of the Tribunal, but I don't know any specific details. The Tribunal and the time limit are probably terms from the continent of Neflet. That continent is further south, and it's said to be quite isolated, far from the continent of Stath, so very few people come here."

Thor leaned his head against the window and saw through the crack that many residents were coming out of their homes with uneasy expressions, looking in the direction of the city lord's mansion.

"If Jassim committed suicide because his body was being controlled, then it means the Tribunal can at least extend its reach to the continent of State. But if Jassim wasn't being controlled, then thinking about it more closely... it's even more terrifying."
