Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 643 Three Candidates

The continent of Neflet is mostly mountainous, but the tallest building on the entire continent is not the highest peak of these mountains, but the surveying station of the Stargate Council.

The president of the Stargate Council, Alik, almost always sat in the high-backed chair at the head of the surveying platform.

From this angle, you can see the endless starry sky with just a slight upward tilt of your head, and gaze at the surging sea with just a slight downward tilt of your eyes.

In the eyes of the Stargate councilors, Alik was already the embodiment of lightning, and therefore, the council's surveying platform was always bathed in clear skies.

You can observe the changes in the starry sky at any time.

A young assistant, Murridge, who was not yet a hundred years old, came over carrying a document.

He was once a second-tier wizard specializing in wood-attribute magic, but since joining the Stargate Council and becoming Ali's assistant, he hasn't touched any wood-attribute magic books for over a decade.

He is just over 100 years old now, which is quite young in the Star Gate Council, and he is also recognized as one of the geniuses here.

The once spirited young man now has a full head of white hair, only his face still looks like that of a young man.

However, his eyes suddenly changed during a stargazing session. His eye sockets bulged outwards, like two telescopes, and the eyes inside became completely transparent vitreous bodies.

After being rescued, he didn't seem to mind at all, saying that it made it easier for him to observe the starry sky and see it more clearly.

"Speaker, Miss Lucy has sent back a message from the No Man's Lands. The wind fairy, Pelle, has proposed that Thor, Gorsa's apprentice, be the next candidate for third-tier wizard. Councilor Norton has agreed. However, Councilor Norton has also nominated another member of the Radiant Family, Corey, as one of the candidates."

Alec, who was gazing at the starry sky, turned his golden eyes to Murridge. "Thor?"

"This is the first time I've ever heard of this name."

"It seems Gorsa has protected him very well."

"You believe Gorsa premeditated this?" Murridge's eyes narrowed as he looked down at the documents in his hand. "Yes, a young boy majoring in dark attributes, age... 17. He's definitely a puppet he's been grooming."

Murridge tapped his fingers on the book, making a dull sound.

"Even with our help, someone like that can't open that door inside their body. It's a waste of resources!"

Murridge looked at Thor's name on the paper and wanted to put a big X on it, like he was doing an experiment.

"Perhaps." Alec wasn't as angry as Murridge; he remained calm and composed, like the unchanging starry sky above him.

"However, it is also very difficult for us to push open the door to the starry sky. So far, we are not even 30% sure we can succeed."

Murridge paused, then said resentfully, "How can he be compared to the research on Stargate?"

Alec seemed not to hear, continuing to whisper, "Push open the door within your body, open the connection between your internal and external magic; push open the door to the starry sky, open the passage between this world and another world... If a third-tier cultivator fails to push the door, they will become a monster under the turmoil of internal and external magic. If we fail to push the door..."

Murridge was well aware of how difficult their research was, but he had long since passed the stage of being defeated by difficulties.

"That's nothing more than falling on the path of pursuing truth."

Alek smiled.

This is precisely why he chose Murridge, such a young man, as his assistant.

Murridge may not have the best personality and abilities among all his assistants, but he never gives up.

Through Murridge, Alek was reminded of Gorza.

That young man was also someone who never gave up.

His relentless research was so astonishing that even Alek once thought he had gone mad.

But now that I think about it, being able to continue down a path that everyone outside thought would inevitably lead to contamination and madness was an unparalleled act of courage.

"Then let Thor be a candidate as well." Murridge saw Speaker Alec looking up at the stars again in thought, and knew that he had lost interest in the third-tier candidates for the No Man's Land.

Unless the Speaker objects, Murridge himself has no right to reject the proposal of a third-order wizard.

However, since both the Wind Demon and the Radiant Family have nominated their own preferred candidates, they, as another major force in the Star Gate Council, naturally also have the right to nominate a candidate.

Several names swirled in Murridge's mind, and finally, his eyes widened as he uttered a name.

"Speaker, why don't we let Luke participate in the selection as well?"

Speaker Alek nodded slightly; he didn't really care about such things.

Murridge chuckled, "It just so happens that Thor, like Luke, is a wizard specializing in dark magic. Let them compete fairly."

After Murridge left, Alek continued to look up at the starry sky.

"The Star Gate has appeared..."

……

After seeing Brando off, Thor was greeted by the long-awaited sound of the Gaga drums.

This time, Jiajia Drum was very enthusiastic and offered Sol an even lower price, which left Sol somewhat puzzled.

Liu Jiajia stayed overnight to check the stains on his body.

Saul was delighted to find that the Gaga drum itself was almost completely free of contamination.

After Thor cleaned the puppet behind him that was responsible for filtering out the pollution, he let Gaga leave.

But recently, the Purifying Wizard Tower seems to be particularly popular. Not long after Gaga Drum left, the white mushroom once again released spores as a warning.

This time, however, even after all the spores in the air had dissipated, Thor still didn't see any guests appear on the shores of Lake Rhine.

"Lord Tower Master, shall I go take a look?" Marsh was still holding a kitchen knife in his hand, as he was cooking.

"I'll go take a look."

Unfortunately, there are only a handful of people in the entire Wizard Tower who can cross Lake Rhine. Marsh is incredibly lucky, but his other skills are lacking.

Thor didn't want to give orders to Byron, even though Byron didn't object to Thor's commands.

So, even though the Wizard's Tower had been built for over a year, Thor still had to personally greet his guests.

He whistled softly.

The pale yellow giant bird that was preening its feathers at the top of the tower immediately flew down and extended four long, insect-like antennae.

Thor grabbed one of the long whiskers and was then carried into the air by the giant bird that suddenly rose high.

The giant bird flew very fast; in the blink of an eye, it crossed Lake Rhine and landed next to the mushroom forest that had just issued the warning.

As he fell, Thor didn't forget to put on a layer of armor and release Herman from his body.

Hermann's silver figure instantly transformed into a silver lightning bolt, darting through the mushroom forest.

Herman rushed out of the mushroom forest, his face a mixture of shock and glee, and said to Thor, "It's Kismet! Master, he's badly injured and collapsed in the mushroom forest!"

Saul was not as happy as Herman when he heard the news.

His serious expression made Hermann also stop smiling.

Thor rushed into the mushroom forest and, sure enough, found a man so thin he was almost a skeleton leaning against a giant mushroom on the outskirts.

His aura was faint, and his mental energy fluctuations were negligible.

If it weren't for her slightly wavy, medium-length silver hair, it would be really hard to recognize her as Kismet from her appearance alone.

Thor landed in front of Kismet, who had been completely unconscious just moments before. Kismet suddenly opened his eyes and gave Thor a weak smile.

"Still alive?"

"They've come to their master for help."

"Who hurt you?"

"Lord Ophelia of Sky City," Kismet pouted, feigning utter grievance, "I'm risking my life to completely kill Clark and clear away the obstacles on your path to advancement, Master!"
