Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 579 An Unusual Tranquility

Thor, thinking that the Wind Demons might continue to test him, wondered if Justin might also be one of the Wind Demons.

But unexpectedly, Justin confessed himself in the end.

However, Thor could tell that the other party was not a subordinate of the Wind Demon. The two were more likely in a cooperative relationship.

In any case, since the Wind Demon has repeatedly tested him, Thor cannot sit idly by and wait for his doom.

While treating Justin, he secretly implanted an eye into Justin's body during the process of absorbing the contaminant.

An eye from within the wizard's tower's mezzanine.

The other one of the pair was placed on the butler.

Because the butler is currently the only person besides Thor who can somewhat control the fragments of vengeful spirits within the wizard's tower.

Moreover, spying on a third-tier wizard is extremely dangerous, and Hope was unwilling for Thor to take the risk himself.

As a complete spiritual entity rooted in the wizard's tower, it can be restored as long as it does not completely dissipate.

Now it seems his concerns were indeed justified.

The opponent's power not only killed Justin, but also nearly killed the butler by following the connection through the eyes.

"Did you see anything?" Thor asked Hope as soon as he recovered a little.

"I'm sorry, Tower Master, I didn't see anything. All I saw was a blinding light, followed by an intense burning sensation."

Thor was puzzled. "Wind spirits should be related to the wind attribute, so why would they have light? It seems that the flames just now were also caused by extremely strong light. There must be a wizard on the other side who specializes in the light attribute."

Saul was somewhat worried that the other party might discover his hidden eyes.

Instead, the butler comforted him, "Master, please rest assured. They may have discovered a fragment of soul in Justin, but they shouldn't have discovered the surveillance function within it. Otherwise, the transmitted power wouldn't have only caused destruction without tracking."

Thor was slightly relieved, but then said seriously, "Regardless of whether the other side has discovered it or not, we must speed up the progress of the magic pool."

The butler nodded in agreement.

The magic-accumulating pool that Thor built has taken initial shape.

The quicksand termite colony has successfully recovered, and the queen has begun to regularly secrete obsidian crystals.

This crystallization is a relatively harmless catalyst.

At the same time, he, Camus, and the collective consciousness also analyzed and improved the Monte Extraction method. They also completed its adaptation to the magic-accumulating pool at the top of the tower.

Now, the most important thing is to select a carrier for filtering magic power for the magic storage pool.

And this vessel must be a wizard!

As for the choice of this wizard...

It's best to take the initiative to go out and search, since those who come to us are likely to be the Wind Demon's people.

Killing too many of these kinds of people would be troublesome.

So, in order to gather enough formal wizards, Thor once again began to go out frequently.

However, using a legitimate wizard as a filter would likely cause a lot of trouble if outsiders found out. To avoid becoming an enemy of the Land of Ignorance, Thor decided that the main purpose of his trip was to collect corpses.

With his diary on him, he could avoid many dangerous situations.

This time, besides avoiding it, he can also wait on the outside.

However, a month later, Thor returned empty-handed.

Agu was carrying a pile of discarded parchment, preparing to go upstairs to destroy it, when he happened to run into Thor, who had just returned and was exhausted, on the stairs.

"Master?" he asked Thor cautiously, "Did the trip not go well?"

Thor took off his dusty outer robe and draped it over his arm. "That's strange."

He shook his head as he walked uphill, his face full of confusion.

"The atmosphere in Borderlands has been strange lately."

Since the existence of the physical body has been achieved, the consciousness can act independently with minimal energy expenditure. Therefore, in order not to delay the construction of the magic storage pool, Thor left several consciousnesses skilled in research at the wizard tower to help.

The consciousness that could not cross Lake Rhine independently was also unable to go outside and was unaware of what was happening outside.

Thor instructed Agu, "Tell the others to come to the basement level in half an hour."

Agu quickly agreed.

Half an hour later, Camus sat in the corner of the confinement array, watching the suddenly bustling underground level. His gaze wandered over the crowd, finally settling on Thor in the center of the group.

Saul is sharing his experiences from the past month with everyone.

"I've explored all the dangerous areas near Lake Rhine, but surprisingly, no one has been seen in these places lately."

If no one had died in the danger, Thor could understand, but it was rather strange that no one had appeared at all.

In the no man's land, the more dangerous the place, the rarer the magical materials one can obtain. Wizards who come to the no man's land are either forced to do so or are passionate about adventure; in any case, they will not simply stay obediently in a safe place.

However, after a month of searching the area around Lake Rhine, Saul did not find a single body.

This is very unusual.

Ignoring everything else, Penny was the first to jump in and suggest, "Since we can't find any, Brother Thor, let's just make our own!"

The group of people unanimously ignored Penny's voice.

Killing is easy, but stopping after killing is difficult.

Because they may get caught up in the intense pleasure of getting something for nothing, and forget that the real purpose of pursuing profit is to pursue knowledge.

Putting the cart before the horse will only destabilize the foundation and may even lead to unexpected changes.

"Perhaps we should also find out if something major has happened in the No Man's Lands that has made ordinary wizards afraid to venture out," Herman said cautiously.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've seen Jiajia Drum... Could it be that our area has been sealed off?" An asked cautiously.

"You mean we're under lockdown here?" Thor tapped his fingers incessantly on the table, making an annoying sound.

"If you want to know, why don't you just go out and take a look?" The old witch sat casually on the stool, completely unconcerned. "Every few years, some dangerous events with huge impact occur in the no-man's-land. It's normal for people to choose to keep a low profile and stay home during these times. You can usually find out about these things by finding some medium-sized settlements."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you," Thor said sincerely.

"I'm not going!" the old witch refused outright. "I'm not going anywhere until I advance in my cultivation!"

Thor wasn't surprised. The old witch was wanted by the Wind Demon and the Firefly Lord, so even if she helped him ambush people, she wouldn't go too far from Lake Rhine.

But looking around, apart from the old witch, there wasn't a single living sorcerer.

There's only one Marsh who can move freely... He's too weak; if he goes out, he'll just be someone's meat stew.

Thor now finally understood why his mentor, Gorza, took in so many apprentices despite disliking crowded places.

Many things really can't be accomplished by one person alone!

The efficiency is too low.

"Should we waste time finding out what happened here, or should we activate my second plan?"

Realizing that the wind demons coveted his abilities, Thor not only accelerated the construction of the magic storage pool but also began preparing another escape plan.

These two plans, one offensive and one defensive, are both challenging.

There's no way around it; simple methods definitely won't work when facing a third-order opponent.

At this moment, the butler came down the stairs and knocked on the open door.

"Lord Tower Master, excuse me for interrupting. That headless knight has reappeared in the Mushroom Forest."

"Take off!"

Thor and the old witch stood up at the same time and looked at each other.

The old witch sneered, "Very well, here come the materials you requested."

Thor was also very excited.

He thought Brando was frightened by his consciousness space and wouldn't come back.

Previously, when he first encountered someone who could escape from the consciousness space, he was unprepared and Brando got away.

But he is different now than he was a month ago.

If Brando dares to appear within the range of his mental fluctuations, he will definitely make this guy his new chapter!
