Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 588 A New Approach to Picking Up Corpses

After Thor explained his future mission to Noah, he became a hands-off manager.

He entrusted the little boy to Agu and the other consciousnesses to learn from, and then left the wizard tower once again.

This time when he left, he brought with him Hermann, whose speed had returned to its peak after being equipped with a soul weapon.

Because this time he had a new approach to picking up corpses.

Using the body skin he had taken from Brando, Thor had completed the trial run of the mana-filled pool.

The entire magic circle is operating smoothly and can already produce pure magic power, but the efficiency is a bit low and the output is a bit small.

To increase production, a large number of magically rich items need to be added to the magic pool. These could include magic crystals, sorcery materials, or even powerful sorcery tools.

Thor has these things, but not enough.

To increase the conversion rate of magic power, he needs more corpses of first-tier wizards and above.

Picking up corpses can solve both of the above problems at the same time.

It used to be difficult to find corpses in no man's land, and recently no one has been venturing out to take risks.

But Thor discovers that Noah's former hunting party is a good target for looting corpses.

First, they acted independently, and second, they went to extremely dangerous areas.

Although the wizards in the group might hide outside and let ordinary people go on adventures, who can say for sure what the safe distance is in dangerous areas?

Moreover, they are the people of the Wind Demon.

The Wind Demon sent people to test Thor several times, and later even killed Justin, who had already confessed to Thor. This made Thor feel an even greater sense of danger.

Although the other party has been quiet recently, Thor will not let his guard down.

Therefore, Thor didn't mind picking up the corpses of the Wind Demon's hunting party.

They wouldn't even mind making some themselves.

Thor followed the direction the hunters had taken two days earlier, deliberately avoiding some hidden mental markers along the way.

The wind demon's hunting party has a mission to complete and also has to sacrifice the lives of ordinary people to conduct reconnaissance, so they can't go very fast.

After a day of pursuit, Thor spotted the leader of the Brown Wizards outside a rather dangerous abandoned manor not far away.

Saul had also visited this abandoned manor.

It is said to be the place where a mutated wizard died. Later, someone wanted to take over the manor and used magic to clear away the remaining damaged buildings.

Several months later, when other people passed by and came to check again, they found that the place had turned back into the original abandoned manor.

Even the collapsed wall and the scratches on it were exactly the same.

From then on, the manor had a new name—Old Manor.

Thor encountered nothing unusual when he entered the manor, but when he tried to destroy the rooms, he received a death warning from the diary.

He then realized that this place was not a place to provoke for the time being.

However, the estate does not seem to object to other people visiting.

Thor suppressed his magical and mental energy fluctuations, hiding behind the messy bushes on the outskirts of the manor, watching the group inside from a distance.

The wizard Brown and his four other apprentices stood expressionless outside the manor gates.

But from the way they kept glancing towards the door, it was clear that they had been waiting for some time and were getting a little impatient.

At this time, there were still four ordinary people in the team.

Noah once told Thor that when they set off, there were twenty-four ordinary people in the group.

So many people have died in just one month.

To avoid being noticed by others, Thor observed the movements of several wizards through the bronze pillars in front of the manor house and the glass windows in the walls.

Just as he turned his gaze to the window again, he found that there was no one in the glass.

Thor narrowed his eyes, not making any rash moves. He simply confirmed once again that his mental and magical powers were completely sealed before slowly shifting his gaze to the front door.

Strangely, Brown and several other wizards, along with four ordinary people, remained standing at the door, without even changing their posture.

Saul frowned and carefully turned his gaze back to the window.

However, there was still no one in the window.

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

Did the windows of the abandoned manor suddenly lose their ability to reflect light?

Is it that same hunting party... or is it not there at all?

Thor hid in the same spot for a while longer.

This time, he didn't care about being exposed and directly observed the group of people standing in front of the manor gate.

These people are not stationary.

They might also shift their focus, like scratching their hair or something.

But as time went on, Saul noticed that although these people were waving, none of them moved their feet.

"These people are definitely the problem!"

Thor raised his hand and aimed it at Brown.

A silver butterfly the size of a grain of rice suddenly flew out from his fingertip.

The butterfly paused briefly on a nearby leaf before fluttering towards Brown.

Upon approaching the group, the butterfly didn't land on anyone's shoulder, but instead circled them once before returning to Thor's side.

"Brother Thor, you guessed right, those people—no, they're not human anymore. I think your plan to collect corpses might have run into some trouble."

Saul extended his index finger to help Penny up from the bushes.

When he revealed himself and exposed his magical energy fluctuations, the people standing in front of the abandoned manor did not turn around to look at him.

It's clear that everyone in front of me is in trouble.

And the problem is quite significant.

He even suspected that these people might all be dead.

Saul walked over slowly, keeping a close eye on the diary.

Even as he walked right up to the wizard Brown, the diary did not warn him that his life was in danger.

So, Thor finally noticed the unusual behavior of Brown and the others.

When Thor stood at a distance, he didn't notice anything wrong with the man.

But as he got closer, he found that these people looked rather strange.

Their resolution is slightly lower, so they don't look as clear as real objects.

Thor squinted and observed carefully, only to discover that these people were actually made up of millions of tiny cubes!

As they move, the blocks that make up their bodies appear even more blurred.

Thor kicked up a small pebble.

The stone struck Brown, who immediately shattered into pieces.

"The rules have changed," Thor thought to himself.

Not all rule changes are as gentle as those at Lake Rhine.

In most cases, this means that human lives need to be sacrificed again to break the new rules.

The Brown Wizard before them was, after all, a first-tier wizard. Perhaps their journey through the tests had been too smooth—since only ordinary people had died—which had made them lower their guard.

Suddenly, Thor felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly jumped backward, instantly moving ten meters backward.

next moment!

"Bang!"

The old manor gate suddenly made a loud noise, as if someone inside was slamming it hard!

The door was jolted open by the impact, but because it was secured by several locks, it only opened a small crack before bouncing back in.

Thor, who had been staring at the door, caught a glimpse of a dark figure behind it in that instant.

However, the door was opened too narrowly, and Thor couldn't see what was behind it.

"Brother Thor, there's a very strong, very strong resentment coming from behind the door." Penny's voice also became serious.

Saul nodded; the diary had been unfolding in his mind the instant the door was flung open.

[May 27th, 319th year of the lunar calendar]

Even abandoned manors can one day regain their former glory.

The terrifying shadow was merely an invitation from the master.

As you approach, they will enthusiastically pull you inside.

Remember to bring your gift.

For example, the vibrant life of a first-tier wizard?
