Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 653 Demon Seed? Vaccine?

Noah had no idea why the scorpion had suddenly collapsed to the ground.

However, after Thor also demonstrated his ability to understand languages, he finally understood that Scorpion actually regarded Thor as a god.

In the wizarding world, some backward areas or remote regions of the continent also have people who believe in gods.

However, most people still revere wizards.

Furthermore, the more powerful the wizarding forces in a region, the more ashamed they are of worshipping gods.

This is especially true in unclaimed lands.

Even if those dwarves or barbarians are powerful, humans, as slaves of wizards, will despise them.

So, Noah initially thought that Thor would refuse and correct the way he called Scorpion.

However, Thor acquiesced.

Noah's eyes widened slightly.

As he watched Scorpion become increasingly respectful to Thor and answer his questions earnestly, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Thor had Little Algae create a clone, one carrying Noah and the other holding the scorpion, while he used his flight magic to return to Noah's hut as quickly as possible.

Back at the cabin, Thor didn't let Scorpion inside, but started questioning him directly on the small hillside outside.

"Where are you from? What brings you here?"

After Scorpion was put down by Xiaozhao, he tried to lie down on the ground again, but Thor grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

"I don't like you talking while you're lying on the ground. Just answer while standing."

Scorpion hesitated for a moment, "But my great-grandfather said we should show the utmost respect to the gods."

"Did your great-grandfather tell you that gods hate disobedient believers?"

Scorpion was taken aback, and it took him a while to understand what the believer meant, but he still gave in and didn't try to lie down on the ground again.

"I come from my tribe, right on the edge of this Black Death Plain."

Scorpion said his father died while out searching for food, and after his mother married another man in the tribe, he was forced to grow up because no one was willing to support him.

Adults must hunt a monster outside the tribe to return home; otherwise, they are not eligible to start a family in their original tribe.

However, the scorpion was not very powerful, and for various reasons, the people in the tribe did not help him complete the hunt.

So he originally intended to venture a little deeper into the Black Death Plains to set a trap to capture a Gold-Eating Rat, but he accidentally went too far and attracted the Withered Ghost Vine. In the end, he was rescued by Noah, who was exploring the map.

Noah had no idea that the Black Desert, which had always been so quiet it could drive anyone mad, was actually so dangerous.

Thor told Noah to keep quiet and maintain his persona.

"Where is your tribe located?"

Scorpion looked around. "I can't see clearly now, but I'll be able to when it's light. My tribe is between two mountains; it takes twelve days and nights to get here."

Scorpion raised both hands, but there weren't enough fingers, so he also included the deformed hand located at his tailbone.

I almost couldn't count them all.

Thor continued, "How many people are in your tribe?"

Scorpion shook his head immediately, "I don't know, there are many."

There are too many to count on your fingers.

"How many other places are like your tribe?"

"I know of three, but we rarely interact. We only usually keep in touch when we're exchanging seeds."

After asking Scorpion a few more questions, Thor learned that the people here mostly live underground, surrounding the Black Death Plains where he was.

This Black Death Plain is dangerous, but it's also teeming with monsters. Some of the weaker monsters are the main food source for most of the people.

However, very few people venture into the deepest part of the Black Death Plains, which is Thor's territory. Those who do enter are either insane or dead.

Finally, Thor asked about the scorpion's third hand, which he was most interested in.

Scorpion didn't think there was anything wrong with having hands like that. He just felt that his hands were too weak.

"Does every one of you have hands here?"

Scorpion felt that the god before him was not as omniscient and omnipotent as his great-grandfather had said. He held his third hand, which looked as if it had been burned.

"You mean demonic limbs? We all have them, but everyone's demonic limbs look different. Some people have wings like birds, and some people have mouths like crocodiles."

"Every child is implanted with a demon at birth. Those who survive will have their own demonic limbs, while those who die will be sold."

"What if we don't plant a demon?" Thor asked.

Scorpion looked somewhat surprised. He thought carefully for a moment and finally unearthed a deep memory: "The only child I remember who didn't grow demons turned into a monster when he was five years old. I heard that he ate the entire tribe."

According to Scorpion, those who do not plant the demon may turn into monsters when they are a few years old.

Noah listened with great interest, but he refrained from interrupting without Thor's permission.

"Planting demons? Demonic limbs? If you don't plant demons, you'll turn into a monster." Thor crossed his arms and pinched his chin with one hand. "It's a bit like a newborn getting vaccinated. But the vaccines here are pretty harsh. It sounds like the survival rate after vaccination isn't very high, and without vaccination, you won't last more than a few years."

"It's probably related to the fact that there are so many haters in the world."

"Perhaps the people in this world have been researching anti-fans for a long time. Their research findings might be helpful to my senior and me inerting formulas."

The questioning only strengthened Thor's resolve to explore the world more deeply.

There's no rush right now.

Noah still needs time to grow, and he also needs to prepare for advancing to the third tier.

Moreover, it should be safer for him to explore this chaotic domain further once he reaches the third rank.

Let's start by getting a simple feel for this world through Scorpion.

Thor reached out to the deformed arm that Scorpion was holding in his arms. "Let me see."

Scorpion was a little nervous, but he still managed to place his charred, deformed arm into Thor's palm.

Thor's mental energy penetrated deep into it, "As expected, there is also black powder in the demonic limbs, but it is slightly more active than the black powder underground."

Thor then inquired about the methods of the Scorpion Demon, and the Scorpion truthfully told him.

"You just said your demonic limbs aren't very powerful. How did you make that comparison?"

Scorpion answered more cautiously, "My demonic limbs are just stronger, and not very long. I can occasionally use them for surprise attacks, but they're not as powerful as the others in the tribe. So my new father didn't want to raise me, so he lied and said I was an adult. Actually, I'm only eight years old, not quite ten..."

Scorpion counted on his fingers, "Two more years to go!"

So this is what they call forced growth—lying about your age.

Thor nodded, then suddenly raised his hand and tapped Scorpion's deformed arm twice, before stretching out his arm and pointing a finger at Scorpion's brow.

The scorpion was horrified, thinking that the god was going to attack it, and fell to the ground.

However, after he sat down on the ground, he found that he was neither dead nor injured, but his scalp was a little itchy.

Thor waved his hand again, and Scorpion, who was about to ask what had happened, rolled his eyes and fainted.

"I've planted a parasite inside the scorpion. I'll teach you how to control it in a bit. For now, stay here with the scorpion. Unless you can cast first-tier witchcraft, don't rush to find those tribes."

Noah nodded repeatedly.

"When I have time, I'll go check on those tribes first. For now, you should stay near the hut and be careful of the monster they're talking about."

Noah continued to nod obediently.

Thor left him with new magic crystals and several scrolls, and left the Chaotic Realm when the time came.

After Thor left, Noah, who had been looking obedient, suddenly looked at Scorpion.

"Gods?" He chuckled. "To actually regard one's mentor as a god, what a backward and ignorant world."

"However... it wouldn't be bad to let my mentor become a god."

His eyes gradually became fanatical. "My mentor wants to explore this world. My strength alone is too weak, and my mentor is very busy... So I can completely assign this task to the believers."

"At that time, this world will belong to the Mentor! The Mentor will become the true god of this world!"

Noah grinned, his smile wide and extremely happy!
