Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 458 Archaeological Excavation of St. St.

Thor originally intended to continue using his mentor Gorza's name to ride the airship for free.

However, while waiting on the platform, he suddenly overheard wizards discussing the collapse of the wizard tower, Gorsa's advancement to the third rank, his massacre at the border between Kema and Knas, and his departure from the continent of State.

After a moment's consideration, Thor had the driver, Marsh, turn the carriage around and leave the airship platform.

Fortunately, it doesn't take a month to get from here to Archaeology City, where Bydon Academy is located. At Marsh's driving speed, it will only take about ten days.

Archaeost is also a coastal city, but the area between it and Bluewater City is not as prosperous. It is mostly wasteland and high mountain forests.

In some places, abnormal smoke was even billowing out.

I wonder if some wizards are conducting environmentally destructive experiments there.

This world doesn't care about environmental protection; the special pollution produced by wizards often turns a wasteland into a dead zone. The only thing that can limit them is some large wizarding organizations. If highly destructive experiments are conducted within the territory of these organizations, they will be fined and may even have their experimental results confiscated.

But as far as Thor knows, there is one place without restrictions: the no man's land.

In no man's land, no one cares if you damage the environment, but if your experiment interferes with someone else's, they might just come and kill you.

It was this unbridled experimentation, coupled with subsequent pollution, that made the no-man's-land a dangerous place, where people could face death at any moment.

But such a place is perfect for a cheater like Thor.

Having already decided to go to the Valley of Fallen Hands to train his own wizard tower, Thor has been researching the Valley of Fallen Hands recently.

However, these materials are fragmented and highly incomplete. One notebook's recorder wrote at the end:

[Actually, I know that doing these statistics is useless. Borderlands is a place that can change at any time. What might have been a relatively safe place like Fruit Manor this time could become a monster-infested wasteland next time.]

But I still chose to write it down.

After all, it's always good to leave something behind in this world before you die.

The last page of this notebook was stained with some dark brown stuff.

Saul conducted a component analysis experiment and found that it was just ordinary blood.

As darkness fell, Saul closed his notebook and took out a broken wine glass and a rusty silver pocket watch.

These two items were the biggest physical finds that Saul made on his trip to Bluewater Bay.

The silver pocket watch is even rarer than Nefert’s famous witchcraft props.

After all, the diary only mentioned the silver pocket watch.

In the past few days, besides learning basic witchcraft knowledge, Thor has been researching these two things.

He placed different spirits and fragments of souls in the broken wine glass to study how the spirits would break and whether there would be any byproducts.

But whether it was due to insufficient dosage, too short a time, or an incorrect activation method, the spirit in the cup was still drifting leisurely, showing no signs of being pulverized.

Saul collected the broken glass and took out his silver pocket watch to continue examining it.

The diary mentions the word "chaotic realm" in its hints, leading Thor to suspect that the silver pocket watch might also be a key to a certain world.

But a key is needed to activate the silver pocket watch.

The diary also tells Thor that the key is on him, so Thor takes out some of his items to analyze them.

He only analyzed it and didn't actually try to activate the silver pocket watch, since he didn't want to travel to another world right now.

Today, he rummaged through his luggage and suddenly saw something.

Thor reached in and took out the gold coins with the crying and smiling faces.

When Mochi Mochi lent him this gold coin, he said it was a witchcraft tool from an earlier era, capable of short-range communication.

But its real purpose is to determine the spatial orientation of the two holders of the gold coins.

It is a very rare spatial item.

It's very useful for both self-preservation and harming others.

Thor tossed two gold coins gently, and they made a crisp clinking sound as they collided in the air.

When two gold coins collide, a closer look reveals a slight distortion in the space around them.

"Since the effects of these two gold coins are related to space, is it possible that they could also activate a key to a different world?"

Thor caught the gold coin steadily, then looked at the silver pocket watch held by Aguto.

The pocket watch was open, and the hour and minute hands were still spinning at an irregular speed.

Thor held the gold coin, and no matter how he moved it closer or further away, or even tapped it, the hands of his pocket watch did not change.

Nevertheless, unlike his previous experiments, Thor did not immediately change the equipment. Instead, he began to carefully record the experimental results.

He intuitively felt that he had guessed correctly this time.

Now we need to figure out how to determine this.

There's no rush for this. We can wait until he finds a place to settle down temporarily and then hand it over to the other consciousnesses for experimentation.

With a clear direction, Saul put away the crying and smiling gold coins with satisfaction and let Agu continue to hold the silver pocket watch.

He closed his eyes and began to meditate, reaffirming that once he arrived in the bustling archaeological city of Stir, he would first seek out a suitable meditation method for himself.

Several consciousnesses had their own meditation methods during their lifetimes, but none of them were more suitable for Thor than the Erosion Diagram.

Therefore, he is still using the meditation method suitable for second-level apprentices.

The efficiency of restoring magic power is indeed rather low.

Fortunately, he usually relies on his mental strength in battle, and his battles are quick and decisive, so the speed at which his magic power recovers is not important.

It is indeed quite unique.

Three days later, Saul and his group finally left the desolate seaside promenade. Villages and small towns without walls began to appear nearby.

These places all have one thing in common: they are sparsely populated.

Although there seem to be quite a few houses, at mealtimes, there are hardly any cooking fires going off.

Based on his experience of frequent travels, Marsh found a small town with decent conditions and drove in.

Saul looked around and noticed that many houses along the street were locked. The locks were covered in dust, indicating that the owners hadn't returned for a long time.

The carriage finally stopped in front of a tavern.

The tavern's sign reads "Traveler's Home".

Thor and Agu got out of the car and walked to the door, but no one came out to greet them.

He pushed open the half-open door and found the entire hall empty, without a single guest.

A tall boy, clearly dressed as a waiter, was sitting on a stool in the corner of the hall, engrossed in reading a book.

At the bar at the far end of the hall, there was a slightly overweight middle-aged man... who was also reading a book.

The sound of the door opening didn't even wake them.

Do people here really enjoy learning that much?

Thor appeared silently beside the servant boy, looking down at the book in his hands.

Farmer John: City Life is Tough, and the Aristocratic Lady is Too Clingy

Thor: ?!

For the first time, Thor felt the urge to rub his eyes.

What did he see?

Is this a fantasy novel set in the Wizarding World?

No, that's not right either; the book doesn't dare to touch on the subject of wizards.

"Oh, I apologize to you both."

At this moment, the owner, who was inside the bar, finally saw Saul and his companion, slammed the book down on the table, and jogged over around the bar.

Thor glanced at the book and noticed that the boss was reading the same book as the servant.

The boss had already run out, and the servant was naturally awakened as well. He carefully slipped a page into the book before standing up.

"Are you looking for a meal or lodging?"

Agu answered proactively, "Do you have a yard here for one night?"

"Yes," the boy replied. "You can stay in the yard next door. That family just moved out less than a month ago. I can get it ready for you within an hour."

"Just moved out?" Thor's eyes flashed. He wasn't in a hurry to move in. He sat down opposite the boy, looking at both the boss and the boy.

"Did everyone in your town... move to Archaeost City?"
