Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 530 Forced Cooperation

Water flow...

The old witch felt a chill run down her spine, but then she found it laughable.

This kid actually dares to mention no man's land?

Having lived here for so many years, she has always kept her distance from the sound of flowing water. Even third-tier wizards wouldn't approach it willingly.

How dare he say that the Kuroshio Current is being used as a hidden danger?

But even though she felt it was utterly absurd, why couldn't she help but shake her head?

The eagerness to know the answer ultimately triumphed over the old witch's pride.

She gently shook her head.

"Splash..."

I could hear the clear sound of flowing water.

The old witch's expression changed immediately.

"How...did you do that?" she asked incredulously.

It has always been the case that wizards are unfortunate enough to be corrupted by the Black Tide. Who has ever heard of anyone being able to use the Black Tide to corrupt other wizards?

Before that, wouldn't those who utilize the Black Tide be thoroughly corrupted by it?

"Trade secrets," Thor casually uttered a word the old witch wouldn't understand. "Can you let me go?"

"You, you killed me, and I'll make you pay with your life."

"Are you dead now?" Thor tilted his head.

The old witch hesitated for a moment, then glared fiercely at Thor.

However, after that one glance, the air that had been holding Thor captive was released.

Seemingly feeling that it would be a loss of face to compromise and release Thor, the old witch tried her best to regain her dignity.

"Don't forget my fingers are still on your body. If I die, I guarantee you'll be in so much pain you won't want to live anymore."

Thor didn't respond; he was taking deep breaths, trying to catch his breath after nearly suffocating.

He walked over and finally saw the old witch's new body.

The other person had a very large belly, while their hands and feet were thin and soft, making them look quite deformed.

"You have completely abandoned your original body and used modified materials as your new body. The price is that the new materials are not enough to build an adult's body, so you can only use this deformed body that is similar to an infant's body."

The old witch had no interest in listening to Thor's theories. Ever since she heard the sound of flowing water in her head, she could faintly hear it flowing in her ears even when she remained still.

Accompanied by the eerie sound of water, she gradually felt that something within her seemed to be out of control.

The scariest thing is that she doesn't even know where she's going out of control.

Thor knew what the old witch was worried about, so he didn't waste any more time. He casually took a robe from his storage device, used the 0th-level magic trick of magical manipulation to shrink the robe, and then tossed it to the old witch.

"Put them on. You don't mind, but I find them an eyesore."

The old witch still didn't understand what "eye-searing" meant, but she could sense the malice in it.

Moreover, she wasn't really used to running around naked.

At the same time, she couldn't help but explain herself, "This is only temporary. The perfect body will grow into the shape I need as required."

Thor stroked his chin. "Oh? Is it the powder from the elven remains that's involved?"

Thor became even more interested in the material of the body. Unfortunately, the old witch ultimately couldn't bear to use the material on him.

"Fine, let's just treat this as an experiment. The formula for fusing flesh and spirit hasn't been completely modified to suit me yet."

The Blood-Flesh-Spirit Fusion is a modification magic used exclusively by high-ranking wizards in the Blood Rose family, to which An belongs.

Only a second-tier wizard can perform the modification.

Back then, the entire Blood Rose family only had one second-tier member.

The second-tier cultivator also failed to complete the transformation of flesh and spirit, and died in frustration in Chui Shou Valley.

Thor took the existing modification formula and naturally had to modify it again.

This is destined to be a huge project.

But thanks to the large amount of materials "kindly provided" by the old witch, Thor has finally completed the improvement of the "flesh and blood" part of the flesh-and-blood fusion.

However, if he wants to merge with spirits, he will need a large number of souls as materials.

At this moment, the old witch had already struggled to put on the shrunken wizard's robe.

Its belly is as big as its head, making it look like a snowman built in winter.

"How are you going to resolve the contamination I've been exposed to?"

"Solve it slowly."

"You!" The old witch narrowed her eyes, a murderous glint in them. "You really think I have no way to deal with you?"

Thor shook his left hand, which now had six fingers, to signal the old witch to relax.

"You misunderstand. After all, I am not as strong as you. I am doing this simply so that we can communicate on an equal footing."

"Hmph!" the old witch sneered. "So, how do you intend to communicate next?"

"Of course, it's still a perfect body. However, judging from your current condition, I think there's room for improvement in this modification formula. Also, I'd like to combine it with my own modification formula."

The old witch remained puzzled. "I can't help you with your research."

The old witch had discovered this long ago. Although Thor was only a first-tier wizard, his knowledge of witchcraft and his research on body modification far surpassed hers.

She can't help with this at all.

"I know. I have other helpers." Thor was referring to his several consciousness entities.

In addition, the diary also has a veto power.

"Although the No Man's Land is called No Man's Land, most of this area is actually nominally occupied by three third-tier wizards. As an outsider wizard with only first-tier strength, it will definitely be very difficult for me to obtain enough wizarding materials."

"But you are different. Not only have you lived here for many years, but you have also collected so many magical materials. I think you must be able to collect them again."

"So you want to control me, to make me your slave, your experiment?"

"No, how about an equal exchange? I'll also help you improve this body. Besides, since you're in such a hurry to change bodies, you probably need a place to hide."

The old witch hesitated for a long time this time.

The sound of flowing water could be heard from time to time.

The sound irritated her. What she feared even more was that one day she would get used to its presence.

At that time, she would probably be close to complete alienation.

"Alright. But only if you remove the contamination from me. Otherwise, all cooperation is just empty talk. You and I will both be doomed."

"Okay, but let's sign a contract first. After all, we don't trust each other."

Thor raised his hand, and a secret contract appeared in his palm.

"A fairy contract?" The old witch immediately uttered the alternative name for the secret contract, then suddenly realized something, "Wait, you actually have a spatial storage item hidden on you? Impossible, I clearly searched your body!"

"The latest product from Baidong Academy. You can take a look." Thor naturally wouldn't tell the old witch where his storage device was hidden, but simply smiled and laid the secret contract flat on the experimental table.

"Please."

……

After signing the cooperation agreement, Thor now had a local guide in the no man's land.

Although this guide's identity is also shady, she can provide Thor with far more information than Cloud, who has already been corrupted by the Black Tide.

Because the old witch was being hunted by two of the three leaders of the No Man's Land, they left her "rat hole" immediately after the contract was signed.

Thor also successfully rescued the coachman, Marsh.

It's a pity that when the old witch brought him and the coachman back, she thought the carriage was too conspicuous and destroyed it on the spot, which resulted in Saul losing his means of transportation when he moved.

As compensation, Saul confiscated the old witch's Bisek Mirror and the magical yet fierce skinning stick.

At the same time, in order to appease the old witch and prevent her from immediately going berserk, he used his transparent tentacles—soul fishing—to absorb half of the black tide inside the old witch's body.

As a result, the sound of the flowing water in the old witch's ears immediately diminished. She also felt her vague unease fade away considerably.

Seeing how easily Thor could absorb the black tide pollution from her body, the old witch's gaze towards Thor changed again.

The initial displeasure and resentment transformed into shock mixed with some reflection.

Even her attitude has improved a lot.

The old witch was very cooperative, so Thor no longer had to wander around aimlessly like a headless fly when he first entered No Man's Lands.

Upon hearing Thor say he wanted to go to a place with a large number of spirits to begin his subsequent experiments, the old witch immediately offered an option.

"If you're not afraid of evil spirits, then Lake Rhine is the perfect place for your long-term experiments." The old witch pointed in a direction. "As far as I know, its master is only a first-tier wizard. You can either take Lake Rhine directly, or you can use whatever method you prefer... an equivalent exchange."
