Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 608 The Man in the Water

Thor sped all the way to the outside of the Wizard Tower.

They finally reached the gate, but Byron was nowhere to be seen.

Thor looked around and finally spotted Marsh and a person dressed in a black cloak in the mushroom patch to the left of the wizard tower.

He walked over, but before he could even call out, the other person had already noticed him and turned around.

Beneath the hood, there was still that familiar face, with a faint, not very enthusiastic smile, looking at Thor.

"I thought you were going to name the wizard tower Thor Wizard Tower."

Thor laughed too. He walked over and punched Byron in the chest. "You didn't come all this way by asking around, did you, senior?"

Byron still didn't like to talk, and just shook his head.

Thor knew that if he didn't press further, Byron would probably just shake his head as an answer.

Thor put his arm around Byron. "Come on, let's see what you think of my wizard tower, senior?"

The two walked through the wizard's tower, an environment that felt both familiar and strange to Byron.

"good."

The two strolled up to the third floor, where Byron gave a brief assessment.

"Has Corrie recovered?" Thor invited Byron to visit his laboratory, while also inquiring about his friend's condition.

"Keli has fully recovered and has also advanced to the third level of apprentice. She is now preparing to advance to a full-fledged wizard."

Byron paused for a moment, "However, she is not suitable to come to the No Man's Land. It just so happens that there have been many changes within the Duchy of Kema, so let her go there to assist."

Klee comes from a noble family in the Duchy of Kema, so she is indeed allowed to participate in the internal affairs of the duchy.

Byron suddenly plunged his right index finger and thumb into his left palm, causing a crack to open, but no blood flowed.

When he withdrew his right hand, a small, transparent sphere appeared at his fingertip, with an irregular piece of metal sealed inside.

"Alpha?" Thor recognized it at a glance as the radioactive toxin invented by Claire.

"Claire said it's an enhanced version." Byron placed the ball in Thor's hand. "She said that her strength is far inferior to yours now, and she probably wouldn't be able to help you even if she came. Only this enhanced version of Alpha Toxin might be able to help you trick a few people."

Thor took Alpha, and asked with lingering fear, "Is there an antidote?"

Byron immediately replied, "No."

Thor grinned. "Well, it seems she's leaving this problem to me."

Klee had invited Thor to work together on developing an antidote, but unfortunately, the project was interrupted by the wizard Gudo. Later, due to the rebellion at the Wizard Tower, Klee changed direction and abandoned her original research.

However, the idea of ​​separating the soul and consciousness that Clare proposed at the time was quite suitable for Thor to continue his research.

Thor put away the Alpha Toxin and sighed softly, "It's better that she didn't come."

He stopped smiling and looked at Byron. "Actually, senior... I don't know whether I should let you stay in the No Man's Land. There might be a huge crisis brewing inside the No Man's Land right now, and if you stay here, you might even be at risk of being contaminated at any time."

Byron's expression remained unchanged after hearing Saul's words; he simply asked calmly, "Saul, am I here to help you?"

Thor was speechless for a moment, then chuckled, "Then I'll continue to ask you for help from now on, senior."

So Byron settled down on the first floor of the Wizard's Tower, filling the vacancy left by the old witch.

Thor told Byron about his experiences in the No Man's Land, including his several encounters with Kismet.

As expected, Byron listened to these things and then simply ignored them, showing no gossip whatsoever.

Afterwards, Saul solemnly told him that if he found any unusual contamination in his body, he must tell him immediately so that it could be cleaned up.

As long as they ensure that their bodies are free from the pollution unique to the No Man's Land, even if a Black Tide breaks out here in the future, Byron and Thor, whose bodies are free from pollution, will be minimally affected.

However, after hearing about Thor's research on the Black Tide pollution, Byron became interested in the black powder that Thor had brought back from the Chaotic Realm.

Thor was also very busy, so he gave some samples to Byron and let him study them.

……

Pei'er suddenly opened her eyes.

When she wakes up from her dream and makes the action of opening her eyes, she feels as if she is not opening her eyes, but rather tearing off a piece of tape that is tightly stuck to her skin.

The tearing, yet slightly sticky pain made her brain ache as well.

"When did Clark's strength become so terrifying? Or is it the Stargate Council behind him secretly intervening?"

Pei'er didn't get up from the stone platform immediately; she tried to think and get her brain working again.

"I didn't see the precognitive dream that Nereira saw—the one about falling into the starry sky. Is it because it was Nereira herself falling into the starry sky, not me, or because the future has been changed?"

In any case, Pei'er could not accept that her end would be to die alone and insane among the stars.

"The old witch's main consciousness didn't experience nightmares either... Could it be that the mutated person really wasn't me? But I feel like it's not that simple. Hmm, I was already slow-witted when I was the old witch..."

Several images suddenly flashed through Pei'er's mind.

Those were scenes of her being repeatedly tricked by Saul, and her helplessness towards him.

She was repeatedly provoked by Thor, yet she proudly flaunted her powerful arrogance.

It was the secret joy she felt, that made her willingly work for Thor for a mere few hundred magic crystals time and time again...

"ah!!!"

Peier clenched her fists, even curling her toes.

I feel so ashamed when I think about it now!

She wished she could erase these memories immediately!

After lying on the stone platform and contorting herself for a few minutes, Pei'er quickly calmed down.

"Relax, a few failed experiments are nothing on the path of a wizard."

But she had barely relaxed when she remembered the moment when Thor laughed during her attempt to seduce him.

"That brat, he'll learn the power of a third-tier wizard sooner or later."

Having thought this through, she seemed to have made up her mind. She flipped over and jumped off the stone platform, and then her figure became blurry, like a wisp of breeze in the canyon drifting out of the cave.

Instead of going to the other cave in the secret chamber, Pei'er walked directly out of the hidden passage and continued down the original cave.

Although her strength had not yet recovered and her soul was entangled by Clark's nightmare power, she was still a third-tier wizard, and no one had been able to find her whereabouts along the way.

So she easily found her way to a cave at the very bottom of the cliff.

There is an underground river here, and half of the cave is submerged by the river.

So this is actually an abandoned cave. Even if someone wanted to fetch water, they would choose another river that was closer to their dwelling.

At this moment, Pei'er arrived at the underground river, and her figure reappeared.

She slowly squatted down and then placed her right hand on the water.

A string of low, obscure fairy words came from her mouth.

The sound mysteriously disappeared into the river, and even Pei'er herself couldn't hear it.

Immediately, the once calm underground river began to ripple.

Strangely, even Pei'er's right hand, which was placed on the water's surface, swayed like waves, just like the river itself.

The complete right hand gradually grew larger as the ripples spread, slowly extending to the size of a round tabletop, and its thickness became as thin as gauze.

Then, something seemed to rise from the water, supporting Pei'er's enlarged and thinned right hand.

Like a person draped in a bed sheet.

The only difference is that the person in the water is wearing Pei'er's skin.

"You've finally contacted me, my stubborn sister."

"Both the Stargate Council and the Tribunal have violated the agreement and secretly controlled the No Man's Land," said Pelle with a grim face. "Ophelia, I hope you can still laugh when you hear this."
