Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 677 Preparation for the Third Stage

There's a saying: "If you're poor, you have no friends." In the wizarding world, that could roughly translate to "If you're weak, you have no friends."

Thor roughly translated the language of his past life, and the consciousnesses around him nodded in agreement.

On the third day after the eye of the storm in the old manor was sealed, news came from the Star Gate Council that he had been recognized as a candidate for the third tier.

Next, the Stargate Council and the Tier 3 forces in the No Man's Land will support him in becoming Tier 3 as soon as possible.

In the following days, the Stargate Council and Herbert sent a lot of magical resources. Herbert even came in person to explain to Thor the precautions for opening doors as a third-tier wizard.

Based on his experience of having the door opened by the star-eyed creature, Thor re-understood the key points of opening doors and gained new insights.

He soon became confident that he could open the door on his own.

After the Stargate Council and Herbert visited, several wizards and people from nearby settlements came to visit Thor.

Many of Clark's former subordinates, especially those who had died, came to pay their respects, hoping to join Thor's ranks after he reached Tier 3.

Living in the no-man's-land, if one can attach oneself to a powerful wizard, their safety can be guaranteed to a certain extent, and people from other factions will not dare to bully them easily.

Thor wasn’t initially very interested in expanding his power, but his butler Hope and Morton in his diary both advised him that once he reached the third tier, the experiments he would be conducting would be more complex and would require more materials.

Although Thor is powerful, he cannot possibly devote all his energy to such mundane tasks.

Thor should have recruited people to help him with miscellaneous tasks when he was at Tier 2.

Thor's abilities are somewhat unique, and he doesn't rely much on external factors for many things, which is why he can continue his research using the limited resources provided by the Gaga Drum.

However, by the time they reached the third-stage preparation phase, Thor clearly lacked the energy and manpower.

So, after carefully considering the visitors, Saul began to recruit some of them to work for him.

Among these people, the first group he recruited included Jiajia Gu and several others who had been treated by him and were genuinely grateful to him.

Oh, and there's also Brando, the head-swapped knight.

Although the other party did not come in person, he promptly conveyed his determination to serve Sol through the Gaja drum.

What these people have in common is that they all have starry eyes on their bodies.

When Thor met them, he discovered that he could subtly influence their fates.

Clearly, the starry-eyed gaze strengthened their connection; otherwise, a typical doctor-patient relationship wouldn't achieve such a high level of goodwill.

In addition to these people, Thor also reached agreements with nearby powers. These powers, like feudal nobles, would regularly provide Thor with a certain amount of magical resources, and Thor would agree to let them continue to operate and survive in this area.

Most things were handled by the steward, Hope, based on the land management policies of the former Lord of Gorsata.

In this situation, although Thor's control over the territory he was attached to was not as strong, it also prevented him from being entangled in worldly affairs and delaying his more important studies.

However, in the early stages of establishing his power, Thor still couldn't avoid having many social engagements. Even his several consciousnesses had to occasionally come out to meet guests and representatives of new factions who came to pledge allegiance while researching enhanced versions of their soul weapons.

It wasn't until half a month later that the Spirit Purification Wizard Tower standing on Lake Rhine finally fell completely silent.

The price was that a small settlement was added to the outer layer of the mushroom forest outside Lake Rhine. Jiajia and the others built their temporary homes there.

What disappointed Saul, but also felt it was only natural, was that, apart from his previous patients, none of these people who came to him were infected with the star-eyed look.

He naturally understood that these people's information was nothing more than a new protective umbrella; who cared who was holding the umbrella?

Before the summer sun fully illuminated the ice of Lake Rhine, Thor once again ventured into the chaotic region.

His purpose in going to the Chaotic Realm this time was not only to check on Noah's learning progress regularly, but also to tell him that he would probably not be able to come back for another three to six months.

If all goes well, he should have completed the accumulation of magic power and advanced to the third-tier wizard level by now.

After advancing to the next level, he also needs to go into seclusion for a period of time to adapt.

After all, the time interval between his second and third orders is too short.

The Chaotic Realm seems to have no seasons; no matter when Thor goes there, it is always a gray sky and an endless black desert.

Thor descended upon an inconspicuous sand dune in the chaotic black desert, next to Noah's temporary dwelling.

After a few months, the residence was expanded further.

And for some reason, it has changed from the original wasteland style to the current simple yet solemn temple style.

Thor landed at the entrance of the "temple" and looked up to observe the narrow gate, which was about ten meters high but only two meters wide.

The gate appeared to be made from the infrastructure materials Thor gave to Noah, and it was also engraved with some basic magical runes.

These runes did not form any magical language or magical array; they seemed to be arranged haphazardly, like patterns on a door.

Just as he was about to push the door open, Thor noticed a noise nearby. He turned around and saw a small, shaved head emerging from a hidden hole in the ground.

Scorpion didn't see Thor; he was just out working as usual.

Since being rescued by Thor, he has been left here by Noah and not allowed to return to the tribe.

Noah told him that he had been saved by the gods, and if he chose to stay, he should follow his guidance and serve the gods wholeheartedly.

Scorpion felt that Thor was quite different from the gods in their tribal mythology who could cause terrifying earthquakes with a mere movement or trigger storms with a single breath.

Noah offered no explanation, simply smiling as he let Scorpion choose.

Without hesitation, Scorpion agreed on the spot.

After all, for someone who struggled to survive even on the outskirts of the Black Desert, Thor's arrival that night was already quite a shock.

"Perhaps he is a god who isn't that powerful? That's why he allows someone as insignificant as me to serve him?"

Scorpion does have some sense; otherwise, he wouldn't have clung to Noah so tightly when they encountered each other in the crisis, until Thor rescued them.

Thor watched as the scorpion emerged from its burrow and ran to the vicinity of Noah's dwelling, where it came to a square stone and began to carve.

The scorpion was carving a basic sorcery rune.

Thor stood silently behind the scorpion, watching, and gradually became somewhat surprised.

Although the runes on the stone possess no magic, they were not something an ordinary person could easily draw, let alone carve onto stone.

But with all three hands working together, Scorpion was able to complete the carving of a rune in half an hour.

Thor suddenly reached out and lightly pressed his hand on the scorpion's head from a distance.

Scorpion, who was working, suddenly froze, her mind going blank.

A few breaths later, Thor withdrew his hand and said in the local language, "You have a good talent for mental strength; you're quite the apprentice."

Scorpion then noticed Thor's presence. He looked up at Thor and was immediately terrified, prostrating himself on the ground with his left cheek down and right cheek up, performing the most respectful salute of their tribe.

"The embodiment of good and evil, the end of all life, the great judge of death! Your servant pays you the highest tribute and is willing to give everything for you!"

Thor: "..."

What nonsense is this?

This morning
