Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 568 Compromise

The metal tetrahedron melted away little by little, revealing the figures of two people once again.

Thor took the contaminants he obtained from Justin to the Wizard's Tower, while Justin waited where he was.

Whether it can be treated or not depends on the pathological research this time.

Even after Saul left, Justin remained standing in the mushroom grove, the white mushroom spores carefully avoiding him as they fell.

Thor returned to the Wizard Tower and found Camus with the petri dish in his hand.

"Come and take a look at this pollutant."

Saul extracted the contaminants, divided them into several portions, added different reagents to each, and recorded the characteristics of these samples.

After several trials, the results were not ideal.

Agu, who had only emerged from his diary in the last six months, was assisting him. In terms of knowledge, he was probably the only one who could keep up with Thor and Camus's train of thought.

Upon seeing the data recorded by Thor, his brows furrowed deeply.

Camus reacted most directly; she glanced at the data and returned it to Saul.

"His injuries have become one with the pollution, achieving a balance. Disrupting either one will cause the other type of damage to spread more rapidly."

The problem that Camus noticed, Saul naturally noticed as well.

Agu further advised, "Master, this commission is quite risky. The chances of success are slim. And if the treatment fails, this second-tier wizard probably won't be as calm as he is now."

Morton, who was still in his diary, also agreed not to accept the commission.

Morton: [Besides, success wouldn't benefit us much. It might even offend the Inquisition. While they might not send anyone into No Man's Land to hunt down a wanted criminal, they might be aware of what's happening there.]

Agu continued, "And it could also attract more people who have been pursued by the tribunal. We might face even more trouble then."

Agu emphasized "more" because he also understood that Saul's identity as a doctor was more like a protective shield.

Clearly, most people do not recommend that Saul treat Justin.

Failure may be met with retaliation, and success may be met with retaliation from an even more powerful and terrifying organization.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a good deal.

After a moment of contemplation, Saul got up, took the test results and the remaining samples, and returned to the mushroom forest outside Lake Rhine.

Justin remained standing in the same position as when Saul left, as if he hadn't moved at all during that time.

Saul handed the item in his hand to Justin.

"Feel sorry."

Justin looked down at what Saul was holding, his facial muscles tensing.

"You have no way to cure my contamination?"

"You should know your injuries best. The contamination and old wounds are intertwined and have reached a balance. If I break this balance without being able to completely remove the contamination, this out-of-control force could shorten your remaining survival time to a few days, or even a few hours."

"So your conclusion is to give up? Is it really because you're not confident?" Justin's voice deepened. "I told you the reason for the contamination on my body so you would understand the nature of the injury and the contamination. But I didn't expect you to be so frightened."

Saul did not deny it.

Justin took a deep breath, trying to maintain his composure. "Very good."

He took the petri dish and documents from Saul's hands, and scoffed, "Since you have so many concerns, I advise you not to become a doctor. You can't handle the responsibility!"

He turned and left, but after a couple of steps, still seemingly unhappy, he turned back to Saul and said, "I'll tell my friends that you're a doctor in name only... Ha, no, you don't even have a name, you're not even in name only."

Justin strode away, leaving clear footprints in the mushroom grove.

When Thor returned to the lakeside, he saw the butler Hope and Gagga waiting for him.

Gaja carefully observed Saul, seemingly trying to decipher the outcome of Saul and Justin's conversation from his expression.

However, Thor's face remained calm, revealing nothing of his current mood.

Hope said with a smile, "This time, Mr. Jiajiagu brought us a lot of good things. We also have a lot of the flint you've been looking for, 20 kilograms of it."

The news brought a smile to Thor's face. "Really? Thank you so much."

He has been collecting fire stones for a long time, but each time he adds a drum, he can only bring back a little bit.

It's not that the other party is hoarding goods for profit; it's just that this kind of thing is extremely rare, but it plays an irreplaceable role in fire and metal attribute witchcraft arrays, so it has always been hard to find.

With so many Flowing Firestones now, Thor can finally increase the efficiency of the Monte Extraction process by another ten percent.

"By the way, it's been two months since the third cleaning. Let me check on your back again."

Jiajia quickly put down his huge baggage and exposed his back.

However, the results of this follow-up examination were not good.

The contamination behind the Gaja drum has worsened again. Although the situation is much better than before he met Thor, his problems will continue to deteriorate as long as Thor cannot eradicate the contamination from him.

It could even lead to a retaliatory backlash.

"The time is almost right." Thor thought for a moment, then took out a wooden doll from the storage device. "I understand that as a merchant, you can't abandon the baggage you carry, but if you keep carrying it, your pollution problem can't be properly solved."

Jaja Drum was well aware of his physical condition. He smiled bitterly, "Lord Thor, I have no choice. If I put down my pack, I will lose my means of survival in the No Man's Land. I can only exchange my health for a chance to live."

"I know, that's why I haven't tried to dissuade you. However, I've recently come up with a new idea that you could listen to and see if you want to give it a try."

Jiajia's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it.

Having dealt with him for so long, he had a general idea of ​​Thor's strength; the other party always managed to come up with surprising solutions.

"No need to listen, sir, I'm willing to try." Jiajia Gu chuckled. "To be honest, your plans are too complicated. I wouldn't understand them even if I listened to them. I'm willing to trust you."

Thor didn't mince words; he was quite confident in treating Gaga Drum.

"However, before the formal treatment, I still need to explain it to you briefly so that you can cooperate with it later."

Saul told Gaja that the source of the contamination on his body was hidden in the huge bag on his back.

Moreover, the contamination is not removed by changing luggage.

Because there is already a causal connection between it and the Gaga Drum. This is a unique power of the rules of the No Man's Lands—after several treatments, Thor has discovered that even if he uses Soul Fishing to absorb all the corruption from the Gaga Drum, it won't work.

If this connecting force of rules cannot be severed, the Gaga Drum will continue to suffer from new contamination.

But Thor came up with a new idea: to place a stand-in doll at the connection point between the baggage and the body of the Gagga drum.

The dolls bear the brunt of this new pollution.

When the contamination inside the doll reaches a certain level, Gaga Drum will still need to come and replace the doll, or spend a lot of money to directly purchase a method for making the doll.

As for the method of making the dolls, it was naturally inspired by Rum's mentor.

Although Thor and Rum were on opposing sides at the last moment, Thor still learned a lot of useful knowledge from him before they turned against each other.

Jiajia was very happy after hearing this and readily agreed.

However, instead of buying the method for making dolls, he chose to replace them periodically.

This puzzled Saul somewhat, but he didn't press the matter.

Having made the decision, Thor immediately took action.

The treatment for Jiajiagu took a long time. By the time Jiajiagu excitedly shouldered his bag again, it was already completely dark.

Because of this treatment, Thor retrieved most of the magic crystals and supplies that he had traded to Gaga Drum.

After Jiajia Gu left, he and the butler Hope sorted out the goods obtained from the transaction.

"Even with a wolf wagon, it would take three trips," Hope said guiltily. "It was my oversight; I should have built a vehicle with a larger carrying capacity a long time ago."

Thor didn't care. "It's okay, take your time transporting it. I'll have Xiaozao watch over it here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Thor suddenly turned to look at the mushroom forest.

Justin, who had left angrily during the day, walked expressionlessly through the mushroom forest toward them.

This time, the mushroom forest, which was supposed to serve as a warning, did not react at all.

Hope immediately hid behind Thor, and then secretly sent a signal to the Wizard Tower through the small algae clone.

Justin is a second-tier wizard, and his reappearance is of unknown purpose. He must summon the old witch.

Thor remained calm, knowing that Lake Rhine was right behind him, and with just the final step, even a second-tier wizard's magic wouldn't be able to break the lake's anti-magic rules.

"Has Mr. Justin returned again? Hasn't he had enough of his tirade?"

Thor smiled, but his eyes were slightly cold.

Not wanting to cause trouble, he ignored Justin's taunts as he left, but if the other party kept going, he wouldn't mind leaving his mouth open.

Justin walked until he was three meters away from Saul and stopped, bowing his head slightly.

"Wizard Thor, I know you have this ability. Please save me...please."

Upon hearing this, Justin's previously tense arrogance vanished completely.
