Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 537 The Spirit Purification Wizard Tower

Lake Rhine is not considered a particularly dangerous place in no man's land.

It may have several rules, but at the same time, these rules are not that dangerous.

It's not even comparable to the small village where Claude lives.

Nevertheless, the old witch, who tried to rely on her second-tier strength, could not break through the most basic rules here.

To get to and from the island in the middle of the lake, you must take a boat.

Although with her talent and strength, she shouldn't have died, but getting lost in the fog for two hours was still quite embarrassing.

The old witch, who was brought back by Xiaozao after dark, finally calmed down.

She locked herself in the second floor of the wizard's tower—the room Thor had left for her—and didn't want to go out for a while.

Saul set up the third floor as a laboratory, the fourth floor as his residence, and the fifth floor as a storeroom.

Above the fifth floor is that circular platform, which resembles his battlefield of consciousness.

According to Thor, the wizard tower is only in its initial stages. It will continue to be modified according to Thor's ideas in the future.

Thor remained on the fourth floor, which was still completely empty, without any furniture.

Thor didn't bring these space-consuming daily necessities with him. But once they've settled down, they can gradually make or buy them.

Now he sits on the smooth brick floor, communicating with several consciousness entities.

Herman: [Ha, from now on this will be the master's wizard tower.]

Ann: [Let's give the new wizard tower a name, Master!]

Herman: [A wizard's tower is a wizard's tower. What need is there for a name? Wasn't it called a wizard's tower before?]

Ann: [It used to be called Gorsa Wizard Tower... how about we call it Thor Wizard Tower now?]

Morton: [It used to be called the Gorsa Wizard Tower because he didn't have a name. Later, to distinguish it from other wizarding organizations, we voluntarily added his name at the beginning.]

Penny perked up, "How about we call it the Tower of the Death Wizard? It sounds so grand!"

Several consciousnesses and Penny suddenly began to struggle with the name.

Thor had originally intended to follow the mentor's example and not give himself a name. However, he realized that a name could sometimes influence other people's initial impression of the Wizard's Tower.

Given this, he could actually offer some guidance.

"The word 'death' is quite fitting, but since I've come to this no man's land, I want to leave a different impression on others."

"A different impression?" Penny thought for a moment. "Does Brother Thor want to be a good person?"

"When did I say I was going to be a good person... wait, am I a bad person?" Thor said irritably. "The No Man's Land is a dangerous place. Today we can get Lake Rhine from the Dodgers, but tomorrow there might be others coming to take it."

Morton: [Indeed, the Dodge Wizards have been able to control Lake Rhine for so long, but we outsiders have no background, no powerful backers, and nothing to be feared.]

An: [Then bring a few, kill a few!]

Since leaving Archaeologist, Ann's personality has become somewhat volatile, and she harbors a strong murderous intent. This may be a side effect of her devouring the souls of her enemies.

However, Thor hasn't yet mastered the method of splitting the soul. He can only wait until later to study it.

"In Kerma, killing might indeed threaten others, but this is no man's land, and killing alone might not be enough to scare away truly vicious people," Thor said, expressing his thoughts.

"I think the reason why the Dodge Wizard can stand here, besides knowing the rules and having powerful backers, is that he can create value. We can learn from that."

Upon hearing Saul's words, Morton immediately made a suggestion.

[Like Dodge, the owner can also sell the vengeful spirits in the lake.]

"Although we also have the means to capture vengeful spirits, I would prefer to use them for our research and the expansion of the Wizard Tower."

Thor has a great need for spirits.

Both his sorcery and his wizard tower require a large number of spirits to continuously grow stronger.

This is also why Sol chose Lake Rhine and was willing to travel for three months to get there.

He was naturally unwilling to give up a large amount of resources in order to gain a foothold.

"So I plan to define a new identity for myself."

None of the consciousness entities or the Nightmare Butterfly spoke.

But Thor could sense their surprise and anticipation.

He cleared his throat. "I plan to become a doctor, specializing in treating all kinds of pollution-related ailments. So, I want to name the Wizard Tower the Spirit Purification Wizard Tower."

"It doesn't sound good, it's not grand, and it's hard to remember. The Death Wizard Tower is much better!" Penny boldly objected, but no one echoed her.

After a moment, Hermann hesitated before reminding him.

[Master, you absorbed Claude's corruption last time, which caused you to be unconscious for three days, and your consciousness space was also invaded by the black tide. If you continue to do this, won't you encounter danger again?]

"I knew that, so I made a deliberate change when I absorbed the contamination from Dodge."

Saul stretched out his right hand, and his little finger began to deform, with the first knuckle swelling up until it finally became a ball.

"This is contaminant extracted from the Dodge Wizard."

Without batting an eye, he ripped the knuckle off and put it into a bottle with a cork.

Ann: [Ah, I thought you'd already absorbed the pollution from Dodge into your diary, Master.]

Saul stared at the bottle in his hand. "I'm trying not to transfer the contamination I absorb to the journal, but to keep it temporarily in my extremities. That way, the contamination won't enter my spirit body."

He raised his right hand again, and this time a drop of black liquid slowly oozed from the tip of his index finger.

Thor changed to another test tube and sealed the drop of black tide.

This drop of black tide was the one obtained from Claude. It invaded his consciousness platform, but later retreated, whether due to the diary or the starry sky in his consciousness world, and eventually became a source of contamination controlled by Thor.

If it weren't for this drop of black tide, Thor wouldn't have had any way to counter the old witch for the time being.

Unless you risk forcibly drag the old witch into the battlefield of consciousness.

But that would truly be risking one's life.

If the old witch had some kind of secret weapon related to the soul, he might even end up dying together with her.

"There's still some residual Black Tide on the old witch's body. I'll go check on her again in a couple of days." Thor put the test tubes and bottles into his storage device. "I can also observe whether the Black Tide that has entered the human body will undergo any other mutations. Since I've decided to impersonate a doctor, I naturally need to be prepared."

An: [Alright, if you spread your reputation for purifying pollution, many people will seek your help in the future.]

Morton: [However, be careful; with such a high profile, you might be imprisoned and exploited.]

Thor nodded in agreement with the two, "Yes, so we need to be careful to find the right balance."

He had actually had this idea in mind after helping Claude absorb the pollution. It's just that he never had the time to turn the idea into reality.

Now he has an old witch with second-tier strength by his side, as well as a Spirit Purification Wizard Tower that can provide him with amplification.

He believed the time was ripe.

The name of the Wizard Tower was thus decided.

Whether it's cool or not, in short—like a trademark—it has already made its intention clear.

"Now let's discuss this again." He took out a milky white seashell bell from the storage device.

"Penny, can you come out now?"

"Yes, Master, but... I don't really want to go out," Penny said, sounding aggrieved.

After Dodge's dream bell rang last time, Penny fearfully hid back in her diary.

It seems that it was not a coincidence.

What secret does Mengling, who even the Nightmare Butterfly fears, hold?

"Having a dream bell means you can sleep soundly."

Does this mean there are other Nightmare Butterflies in the Borderlands, and that Dreambells are a common defensive measure used by wizards here?
