Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 478 Not Human

Hearing Beth's rare quick reply, Pound sighed with a complex expression, "The situation in the West has become increasingly complicated lately."

Upon hearing this, Beth silently stood up and walked out. Her long wizard robes trailed on the ground without making a sound.

Pound, standing behind her, asked somewhat reluctantly, "Don't you have any other plans? Even Nefert's men went west recently."

Beth didn't stop for a second; she simply whispered a sentence to Pound.

"The efficiency is insufficient; Archista needs more people."

Pound opened his mouth, but no last word came out.

……

After obtaining the evolutionary diagram, Thor went home and began to study it.

The evolution diagram has two more elements than the erosion diagram: distorted light and menacing shadows.

The menacing black shadow is easy to understand; it should be an evil spirit. But the distorted light is not so clear.

Fortunately, Thor doesn't have to do the research alone; the four consciousnesses around him can all offer him advice.

In the end, it was Agu, who had been guarding the library for many years, who led Thor to the book with the corresponding description.

"The shadow can be understood as an evil spirit, but it can also be understood as alienation." Thor held the book and read it word by word.

Penny and Little Algae flanked them on either side, while Agu and Anze sat on either side. Morton and Herman observed through Thor's perspective in their diaries.

"The distorted light is a form of induction, but some wizards claim to have discovered an intelligent being with its own consciousness behind the light, though there is currently no way to collect the light."

This book only analyzes some uncommon life forms, but what's rare is that it also includes illustrations, which are almost identical to those depicted in evolutionary diagrams.

The evolutionary diagram is simply more detailed, which also meets the extreme requirements of meditation diagrams for detail.

After several rounds of testing, it can be confirmed that the evolution diagram is correct.

With a smile in his eyes, Thor took out a cylindrical evolution diagram and, imitating Char's method, broke it into a circle.

After the wood chips scattered, the pattern closest to Thor was still that black shadow.

Thor suddenly stopped the meditation he was about to begin.

Amidst the puzzled looks of the others, he neatly arranged the cylinder, unconsciously tossed it around in his hand a few times, and then opened it on the table.

The shadowy figure was still closest to Thor.

Thor put the cylinder away again, rolled it around on the table a few times, and then opened it.

It was still a dark shadow.

Now the others also noticed the problem.

"Is the pattern displayed when the evolutionary diagram is opened fixed?"

Thor put the cylinder away again and handed it to Anne. When Anne opened it, the shadow was closest to her.

Thor thought for a moment, then handed it to Xiaozao.

Although Xiaozao didn't quite understand, she still followed Thor's instructions and used her mouth to pluck off the small ring above the fixed cylinder.

The cylinders dispersed, and this time, the thing closest to Xiaozhao was... a monster.

Hermann lamented in his diary.

[So that's how it is. That's why someone opened the evolutionary chart; the pattern closest to that person corresponds to their race.]

Morton: [Ahem!]

The entire room fell silent.

The only one who still didn't understand anything silently used her head to push the evolution chart in front of Thor.

Thor also silently looked at the picture in front of him.

When the little algae pushed it over, it hit the wooden piece on top, causing the pattern to rotate. When it moved in front of Thor, the dark shadow was closest to him again.

It became even quieter, and even Penny stopped chattering.

Thor slapped his knee and laughed to ease the tension, "So what if I'm identified as an evil spirit? It won't stop me from meditating anyway."

Seeing that Thor didn't care, the others relaxed.

Thor lowered his head and didn't tell the others that when he obtained the Erosion Map, the closest pattern to him was an octopus monster.

In short, the main character is not human.

Despite some unusual behavior, after Thor's courageous attempt, he still believed that the evolutionary chart was very suitable for him.

The efficiency of his meditation was greatly improved, and when Thor was in semi-immersive meditation, in addition to seeing fragments of the soul, he also saw some inexplicable things.

But perhaps because it was his first time using this new meditation method, Thor couldn't see it clearly. He only felt that, amidst the interplay of light and shadow, this world filled with fragments of souls became more vivid and three-dimensional.

If the erosion diagram was a small crack that opened the door to a new world for Thor, then the evolution diagram pushed that door open a little further.

It even allows Thor to reach in and grab a handful.

This is only because Thor hasn't fully grasped the evolutionary diagram yet. Once he's more familiar with it and the depiction within his mental body is more complete, he might be able to push that door open even wider.

With the evolutionary mapping on track, Saul began his second research project.

Soul Armor.

He now has five evil spirits at his disposal.

Archaeological City does indeed "produce" evil spirits, but they are different from those powerful, long-established evil spirits. The evil spirits here are often newly born and weak.

Those who are slightly stronger will be accidentally killed by Thor during their battle.

However, weaker evil spirits are also suitable for Thor to experiment on.

He dissected the evil spirit as if dissecting a corpse, discarding the most polluted parts and separating the less polluted but mutated parts.

For example, the long, thin arms that grew from under John's head, resembling centipedes.

Of the five weak evil spirits, only seven pieces were usable. Thor picked and chose, piecing together several fragments of spirits of different shapes to form a scorpion stinger.

Thor used a magical array to prevent the energy of the artificial spirit from dissipating, and then began to select the first test subject from among the four consciousnesses.

Although Thor had read many books and done some rehearsals beforehand, it was his first time doing spirit body modification, and even just putting a spirit body on a spirit body was risky.

It's like giving an arm to a person with all four limbs intact, and this arm can't just be for show; it's best if it can clench its fist and punch someone.

In short, even a minor mishap could paralyze a previously healthy person.

In this situation, to Saul's surprise, the first person to volunteer was Morton.

But it doesn't matter who it is to Thor.

So he prepared to have Morton go first.

However, the first experiment did not go smoothly. Morton's spirit was strongly averse to the scorpion stinger, and the two almost came to blows before the experiment even officially began.

After two trials, Saul switched to An, who was the second to step up.

What's amazing is that the scorpion stinger, which showed strong rejection towards Morton, got along well with Ann.

Once Ann had adapted to the new spirit fragment, Thor began the formal fixation experiment.

Three days later, Ann was in her room repeatedly directing the new tail to attack Penny in the air.

Penny appeared to be flying slowly, but she was actually very agile. Although Ann's new tail was in a spirit form and moved very quickly, it still couldn't hit Penny, who was flying at low altitude.

At first, the two were just practicing back and forth, but somehow they suddenly developed a competitive spirit.

The spacious living room had become their battleground, while Agu and Xiaozao watched from a corner.

Agu: "Tsk tsk tsk, those two women!"

Xiao Zao: "Tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk..."

Chapter Two is after 10 PM; I went out to play during the holiday, hee hee.
