Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 545 The Strange Changes at Lake Rhine

Upon obtaining the powder containing traces of the crisis, Thor immediately began to study it.

After studying it for a long time, we still couldn't figure out its specific components.

It didn't seem to be soil, nor some kind of crystal; he had absolutely no clue what it was.

"It's like a substance I've never seen before." Thor decided to ask the local old witch if she knew anything about it.

So, after four days in the basement, Thor finally came out.

"I thought you died inside."

The old witch stood at the basement exit, her face full of displeasure.

After living in the Wizard's Tower for more than a month, she has gone from being two-headed to four-headed.

She went from a baby to a little girl.

Oh, not the face.

"The experiment encountered some problems and took longer than expected. By the way, old witch, you're very knowledgeable, an old woman from the No Man's Land, have you ever seen this kind of material before?"

Thor placed the petri dish in front of the old witch.

"Where did you get this thing?" The old witch glanced at it casually, then her expression suddenly changed.

"So you knew all along."

"I... it's alright to tell you. You'll encounter it sooner or later once you've been in the No Man's Land long enough." The old witch's expression was complicated. "This is the residue of the No Man's Land's pollution source. We all call it Ghost Sand."

"Strange sand?"

"Someone once discovered that new rules emerge wherever the strange sand appears. Heh, congratulations, the rules of Lake Rhine that we just analyzed are no longer applicable. Next, we'll have to risk our lives to study the new rules that will appear here."

The old witch's face didn't look good.

Each exploration of the rules results in a large number of deaths.

Even so, people may not discover all the rules, so that occasionally a wizard will suddenly and inexplicably die in the place where he has lived for many years.

Thor thought to himself, "But the diary didn't warn of any danger, and the soul inside, which is supposed to be Camus, is still unconscious."

He then asked the old witch, "Is there any danger in this strange sand? Or is it for any purpose?"

"It's not very useful. It's like the residue after energy has been depleted. Of course, there's also some radiation contamination on it, which would be fatal to an ordinary person."

There is indeed some radiation on this strange sand, but it has no effect on apprentices of level two or above.

Just then, Marsh, who lived outside the tower, came running in, panting heavily, and said anxiously, "Sir, Lake Inland! Lake Inland is frozen!"

Thor and the old witch exchanged a glance, then got up and walked outside.

When the two came outside, they found that the thick fog, which had previously reduced visibility to less than ten meters, had dissipated considerably, leaving only a misty, dreamlike, fairyland-like white fog enveloping Lake Rhine and the island in its center.

Even from tens of meters away, Sol could see that the surface of Lake Rhine was indeed covered with a thick layer of ice.

This caused the temperature on the island in the middle of the lake to drop even further. Although it was March, when spring was in full bloom and spring was just around the corner, it felt like February, with a chill that penetrated to the skin.

Thor walked quickly to the lakeside and gazed at the ice.

The vengeful spirits who had once stared at him in confusion at the bottom of the lake have also been obscured. I wonder what their current situation is.

Fortunately, his experimental subjects hadn't been used up yet.

Saul summoned the dull-witted Kent.

The old witch squinted her eyes.

She recognized at a glance that Kent was not a living person, and that he was probably of the same nature as the butler.

She just didn't know the specific construction principle... and of course, he was too lazy to figure it out.

There is so much unknown knowledge in this world that she is too lazy to figure it all out.

However, she is still willing to use her brain when it comes to matters that concern her personally, such as the rules of Lake Rhine.

The old witch walked up to Thor, raised her hand and pinched a ball of air, which turned into a small bird with whirlwind wings.

"go!"

The old witch gave a soft shout and released her grip.

The little bird flew straight toward the ice, with a heroic air of facing certain death.

However, the magically created bird vanished as soon as it crossed the boundary between the lakeshore and the ice surface.

The wings formed by the whirlwind dispersed, turning into a wisp of breeze, yet it didn't even stir the thin mist around it.

"A magic-free space?" The old witch's expression grew increasingly grave.

Kent had already obeyed the order and walked to Saul's side.

Although the old witch's airbirds had dissipated, Thor still made Kent step onto the ice.

Kent had no sense of crisis and walked forward after Saul gave the order.

The moment he stepped onto the ice, he vanished.

Thor had been keeping a close eye on Kent, and this time he finally noticed that as Kent crossed the boundary between the lake shore and the lake water, the physical magic surrounding his body instantly disintegrated.

Kent's soul was pulled beneath the ice layer at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Thor thought for a moment and walked to the edge of the lake.

"Hey, don't you dare try to get yourself killed!" the old witch quickly called out to him.

"I know." Thor kept an eye on the diary while trying to use it to extract Kent's soul, which had been sucked into Lake Rhine.

Then, he easily sent Kent's soul back to the diary.

It's as if the rules of Lake Rhine don't prevent souls from leaving. But it's more likely that the power of the diary is stronger than the rules of this area.

Thor went back and replaced it with a separate experimental spirit, setting up coordinates for summoning magic within the spirit.

However, this time, after the spirit entered beneath the ice, Thor was unable to summon it back.

The coordinates also disappeared after the soul entered the lake.

"Witchcraft disappears when it enters the vicinity of Lake Rhine, and the soul is sucked under the ice. Is it possible to bring the soul back using physical methods?"

Thor made the algae split off a long, thin tentacle, and like fishing, he threw one end onto the lake.

The new tentacles cannot split again on the ice, but they can use their pointed mouths to gnaw on the ice.

It took it a full ten minutes to gnaw through the ice and create a small hole.

Then it crawled inside and used its mouth to take out the spirit that had fallen in.

They sent it back to Saul little by little.

The little algae once devoured a hidden crystal in the Elf Valley, which caused it to mutate.

Therefore, unlike other Soul-Eating Demon Swamps, it allows you to touch physical objects, spirits, and even consciousness entities like Nightmare Butterflies.

Only when the little algae clone crawled back to the shore and opened its mouth towards Thor did Thor and the old witch realize that what it brought back was not the spirit that Thor had thrown in earlier.

"Okay, it's a bit difficult for your clone to distinguish which spirit is which."

Thor patted the little algae's head.

"Your pet is quite peculiar," the old witch said, looking at Xiao Zao with obvious envy.

It is powerful and obedient.

Thor didn't reply; in any case, he wasn't selling.

He returned to the lake. "Spirits are pulled to the bottom of the lake, and their magic dissipates. But the algae can move on the ice, and can even bite through the ice... It seems that the rules here are not very strong, at least there won't be any extreme situations that result in instant death."

"However... Little Algae is a demonic creature, so she can go up. What about us?"

Thor tentatively took a step forward.

The old witch's eyes widened immediately, but before she could stop him, Thor had already taken his second step.

He stood completely on the ice.

She opened her mouth wide, her head almost tilting back.

"You... madman!"

Third update!
