Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 646 A very, very long time ago

Morton did not remain depressed for long.

The words that had been kept in my heart finally had a chance to be spoken.

【However, Master, although I don't know much about atoms, you have other people you can consult.】

"Camus?" Thor immediately thought of the soul that had been "mooching" food and drinks at his wizard tower.

He stood up, intending to talk to Camus, but as he was walking up the stairs, he suddenly ran into Agu.

"Master, Kismet has woken up and is crying for you."

Thor paused, deciding to go see Kismet and see how this guy had fallen to the fourth-tier wizard Ophelia.

Although Kismet was taken back to the Wizard's Tower to recuperate, Thor had several people take turns guarding him to prevent him from causing trouble in secret.

So when Thor arrived at the first level, Kismet was sitting innocently in a chair, surrounded by dozens of small algae baring their teeth at him.

Upon seeing Thor, he raised his hand to complain, "My master, could you explain to this little fellow that we're now colleagues? Why are you being so wary of me?"

"I made it watch over you," Thor said, stepping forward.

The butler Hope, who was standing at the door, immediately brought over a chair so that Saul could sit opposite Kismet.

"What did you and Lady Ophelia do? Wasn't Clark alive before?"

Kismet still looks very thin, but his spirits have mostly recovered.

He chuckled, "Lady Ophelia initially didn't care who became the next fourth-tier wizard. But I secretly persuaded her to switch her support to the Radiant Family. So, naturally, she doesn't want Clark to make a comeback and ruin her and the Radiant Family's plans."

"As for Clark, he is a third-tier wizard, so he is not so easy to die completely. I know him quite well and guessed that he might have hidden a part of his soul in his dream to be reborn. So after leaving the old manor, I deliberately told Ophelia that I was going to the Wind Chime Tree House, and she followed me there."

Saul sarcastically remarked, "But at the same time, she knew you were openly using her, which is why she almost drained your blood to destroy Clark's remnant soul."

Kismet shrugged. "I'm willing to sacrifice myself for my master."

Thor leaned back, clearly disgusted. "You used a fourth-tier wizard to completely eliminate the possibility of Clark's resurrection, but do you know who killed Clark?"

Kismet's smile faded slightly. "Yes, and he probably wasn't hiding it from you, was he?"

Clearly, Kismet also knew who killed Clark.

"Did you and him...make plans together?"

"Although that's not the case, we all had reasons to kill him, so when we met on the way, we chose to cooperate."

Thor paused for a moment, then suddenly asked another question: "Was that eye of the storm really faked by him?"

Kismet nodded. "Quite daring. I have no idea how he managed to bring that thing all the way from the far north across half the continent."

The black tide brought back from outside the Wailing Wall can mimic the aura of the Eye of the Storm, suggesting that the Abyss may indeed have emerged from the No Man's Land.

In that case, even if one becomes a third-tier wizard, the first thing one will face in the future is the eye of the storm and the anchor point that may appear at any time.

This time the eye of the storm was fake, but that doesn't mean it won't appear.

One of Saul's precognitive dreams has now come true—Clark has gone blind.

The only difference is that Clark did not transform into a Titan, but died in the combined attack of Gorza and Kismet.

Thor has basically figured out everything that happened at the old manor.

"Then you should rest well and leave here once you've recovered."

Saul stood up, ready to leave.

Suddenly, Kismet called out to him, "My dear little brother, don't you want to know why I came all this way to find you despite being so badly injured?"

"For free treatment?"

Kismet felt wronged, "I'm not that useless."

Then he said seriously, "Actually, I came here to tell you that there is now a vacancy for a third-tier wizard in the No Man's Land. Please be sure to seize the opportunity and make all the necessary preparations for advancement within a year."

a year?

Why did Kismet and Gorza give Thor the same amount of time?

Did they really not plan this beforehand?

However, Kismet's conditions were somewhat different; he wanted Thor to be prepared.

Kismet continued, "The Firefly Lord Herbert is actually affiliated with the Tribunal, while the Wind Demon Per is a servant of Ophelia, the Lord of Sky City. And Clark has allied with the Stargate Council. Now that the Stargate Council lacks a representative in the No Man's Land, they will naturally nominate a candidate. If nothing unexpected happens, you will certainly be one of them."

"However, I think even if Gorsa can persuade the Radiant Family to give you their full support, another faction in the Stargate Council will definitely choose their candidate. So in the next year or two, you will inevitably undergo a joint test from both the Stargate Council and the No Man's Land."

"If the Stargate Council sends a third-tier wizard directly, wouldn't I be disqualified?"

"No, even within the Star Gate Council, third-tier wizards aren't just commonplace white mushrooms. Moreover, third-tier wizards in the No Man's Land face far more restrictions than outside. Ordinary third-tier wizards wouldn't stay in the No Man's Land for years just to access its resources."

Previously, Thor might not have been aware of the restrictions placed on third-tier wizards in the No Man's Land, but after learning how third-tier wizards cast large-scale spells, he understood that it was the corruption of the No Man's Land that made other third-tier wizards hesitate.

Only second-tier wizards who haven't yet advanced to the third tier would be willing to risk coming here to take the next step.

"Therefore, the candidates will only be second-tier wizards like me."

"Heh, of course not a wizard like you who has just advanced to the second tier. It must be a seasoned wizard who has been stuck at the second tier for many years but has not yet found a way to open the gate. The Stargate Council and the No Man's Land reward those who stand out in the selection process with all the resources to help them prepare for opening the gate and to assist them in completing their first gate opening."

"Snapped!"

Kismet clapped his hands together. "So now, Master, please work hard to complete your advancement preparations and become a true candidate in the selection. This way, you can obtain a large amount of resources and successfully advance."

"I see."

Gorsa's mentor told Thor that he had to become a third-order rank within a year, but at that time he probably didn't know there would be other candidates.

What was the selection process like?

Kismet spread his hands. "I really don't know. After all, the last time there was a vacancy in Tier 3 of the No Man's Land was decades ago, and I wasn't here then."

Thor wasn't worried about the selection, but he didn't know if it would be time-consuming and energy-draining, thus delaying his progress towards the third tier within a year.

However, since the No Man's Land must maintain three Tier 3s, the Star Gate Council will probably not waste its time.

"I understand." Saul nodded. "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"there is none left."

"Then let me ask you a question."

"Of course, Master, please ask~"

"You were already a second-tier player decades ago, weren't you?"

Yes~

"How long have you been at level two?"

The faint smile on Kismet's face vanished.

He looked at Saul in silence, and after almost a minute, he whispered, "A long... long time ago."
