Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 521 Ochiri's Revenge Plan

The two continued walking back to the old witch's laboratory, supporting themselves against the wall.

And because the owner was not there, the communication continued.

Do you know what it takes for a first-tier wizard to advance to second-tier?

"Enhance your mental and magical power, compress it after it reaches its limit, and complete the breakthrough from quantitative to qualitative change."

Advancing from Tier 1 to Tier 2 will at least double your strength.

If the amount accumulated at the first tier is large enough, it can even reach more than four times that of the first tier. In addition, one can learn more powerful witchcraft and use more dangerous tools later on, making several ordinary first-tier wizards combined no match for a second-tier wizard.

"That's right, but this is just the most basic." Ochiri had already walked to his original experimental area, but did not continue the experiment.

"Accumulating a large amount of magic power and mental energy, and then compressing it to achieve a qualitative change, is an extremely long process. You can hardly even tell whether you can't complete the magic power compression because your magic power value is insufficient or because the compression method is flawed. That's why many powerful first-tier wizards never complete the transformation to second-tier before they die."

"You mean there are other ways to advance to the second tier?"

"Of course." Ochili picked up a non-human finger and held it up in front of him. "To achieve a qualitative change, you don't necessarily need a quantitative change; you can directly become abnormal."

Although Ochri used the adjective "perverted," Thor knew he didn't mean "psychopath."

Thor said with skepticism, "But whether it's magical abnormality or mental abnormality, it's very likely to lead to alienation, turning wizards into pollutants."

Ochiri smiled slightly, "I'm not talking about magic and mental power. Those are the basic structures that have accompanied us since birth, like the foundation of a house, and cannot be moved at will."

"So you mean...?" Thor started to ask, then suddenly realized the answer, "A locator?"

Ochili's smile gradually widened.

"Yes, that's right, it's a locator. Only a locator that belongs to me but isn't mine can undergo a safer mutation. If you don't like the word 'abnormal,' you can call it 'enhancement.'"

Saul's thoughts drifted to his diary.

"My locator is already abnormal and powerful enough. Instead of thinking about strengthening it, I might as well mutate myself. If I can combine the flesh and blood of the Blood Rose family with my own Soul Devouring Essence to form a third-generation witch body modification, then I can gain more magic power and spiritual power on the basis of my original body."

With such a solid foundation, if I advance through the most conventional means in the future, my strength might increase tenfold? Or even more. It all depends on the final outcome of the transformation.

Ochri gave Thor some time to think. But he couldn't wait too long.

He didn't know when the old witch would return, so he had to seize this rare opportunity to communicate.

"I have a method to modify a locator, but it's a bit risky. Are you willing to try?"

Are we finally getting to the main topic?

Thor knew that what was about to come was what Ochiri really wanted to talk to him about today.

He feigned hesitation, "But our experiment has already shown promise, in just a few months... or a year or two."

Ochiri scoffed, "Do you really think the old witch will release us after we successfully complete the perfect body modification experiment?"

"You might not know, but the old witch actually has many enemies outside. As far as I know, Herbert, the Firefly Lord, and the subordinates of the Wind Demon, Pei'er, have all been secretly searching for her. And those who discovered her whereabouts were all killed by her." Ochiri seemed to recall some horrific scene, his face becoming somewhat ferocious. "Do you think we, who know where the old witch is hiding, can leave here alive?"

Of course not!

Thor wasn't that naive.

He couldn't help but lower his voice, "So, you want to risk upgrading the locator and advancing to the second tier?"

"Just close to Tier 2," Ochiri lowered his voice as well. "With our current strength, advancing to Tier 2 would be too much of a commotion. The old witch would definitely stop us. In that case, the backlash from a failed advancement would be enough to kill us. So, we should just aim for close to Tier 2."

"But even at near-second tier, we can't beat her."

"You really want to kill her? Don't dream about it. Once we reach near-second tier, we'll have a chance to escape. If we manage to reach the territory of the Firefly Lord or the Wind Demon, the old witch definitely won't dare to pursue us anymore."

Ochili's eyes were burning with desire, as if he could already see the day he would regain his freedom.

"We could even do the opposite: report the old witch's whereabouts to those two third-tier wizards, making them hunt her down instead... That's our revenge!"

"Why did you tell me this plan?" Saul frowned, feeling that something was off about it. "Wouldn't it be more discreet if you carried it out independently?"

Ochili regained consciousness and calmed down.

"I need someone as skilled as me at experimentation as a cover. Otherwise, the old witch will soon discover that I'm using experiments for other things."

Herman: [Ha! Our master was already doing something else!]

An: [What are you so smug about?]

Seeing that Thor was still hesitant, Ochiri secretly resented the young man's indecisiveness.

But he had no choice. He had been waiting for three years to find someone with enough ability to cooperate with him in conducting fake experiments.

The little wizard in front of me is obviously from a theoretical wizarding organization. His abilities are undeniable, but he is too naive!

But Ochiri didn't want to wait for the next collaborator.

He feared that before he could even wait for the next one, this young wizard named Thor would have already completed his experiment on transforming a perfect body into a wizard's.

The old witch might abandon this stronghold she's been in for many years.

Moreover, to remain discreet, she would most likely kill the other survivors, taking at most one person with her.

That person used to be him.

It's probably become Thor now.

But he couldn't let Saul understand this.

Thor would only be willing to cooperate with him in faking it if he believed that they would both be killed by the old witch after the experiment was completed!

"But the enhanced positioning device... is also very dangerous..." Thor pondered Ochiri's intentions while seemingly unconsciously fiddling with the experimental materials in his hands. "I... I need to think about it carefully."

The other party did not agree, but Ochiri was prepared for this.

He knew that even if Saul was naive, he wouldn't agree immediately.

But it's okay.

Having lived here for so many years, he naturally had ways to make this young upstart realize the urgency of time.

"Then you should think it over carefully. Don't even think about telling the old witch what I said. First, I won't admit it. Second, even if the old witch becomes wary of me because of this, she'll also become wary of you. That way, you'll have even less chance of escaping from here and will just be waiting to die."

"I am aware of that," Thor muttered.

Like a little boy who is unwilling to be looked down upon.

Thor: I'm so easy to fool 〇v〇
