Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 748 The Second Target

Thor never expected that Byron's hard-won opportunity to go on a long trip would be ruined by him.

Upon discovering the elven spring water on Thor, Byron immediately asked for it.

Thor didn't waste any words and handed the spring water directly to Byron.

He believed that Byron now knew far more about elves than he did.

He didn't need to tell me all the dangerous precautions.

Afterwards, Saul asked Hope to arrange food and lodging for Claire, while he himself went up to the laboratory on the fifth floor.

Upon entering the laboratory, Thor immediately began to examine the Symphony of Fate magic circle he had designed.

After observing for a while, he nodded in satisfaction.

"So far, the entire magic circle is operating smoothly, and the connection with Xia has not weakened despite the increased distance; the signal is very stable."

Saul took out paper and pen and wrote down the process of his experiment and the problems he encountered along the way.

This time, he specially compiled a special notebook. If his Symphony of Fate can completely unlock the door to the fourth level, he will use it as a basis to continue moving towards the fifth and sixth levels.

Thor was deeply moved by his unexpected trip to the Rainbow World.

Those star-like eyes said they could be first-order or sixth-order.

Strength can change freely.

But the essence of all this is to have stable sixth-tier strength.

Thor didn't quite understand what the sixth rank meant; he only knew that the fifth rank seemed to allow him to travel between different worlds.

However, the path to the fifth tier has now been completely hidden, and the existing fourth-tier wizards are all working hard to find a way to advance.

Only Thor, who also possesses a clear destiny line, can embark on a special path of advancement.

His experience and a little bit of intuition told him that as long as he continued to explore along the line of fate, he could also successfully enter the sixth tier, just like the star eyes in the world of iridescent colors!

However, Thor is still in the initial stage. His overall strategy can be set at the sixth tier, but in practice, he can only aim at the fourth tier.

He took out the Death Wizard's Diary, laid it flat on the table, and turned to the page where Bestana was. The previous page was a black page formed by the combination of Nerella, who had once disguised herself as a wind demon, and a part of the soul left behind by Pelle.

Thor desperately wanted to communicate with the consciousness of the iridescent world again in order to better verify his advanced thinking.

Now, since this world's Per has been unable to contact Per in the Rainbow World, he can only try other ways to gain a deeper understanding of the power of the Fate Line.

It would be even better if Bestana's information could help him and Perle reconnect with the Rainbow World.

"Now you can continue."

"Alright. The Upside-Down Tree is a magical creature of the wood element, but its application of the Fate Line is the most thorough I've ever seen. Of course, right now, the most skilled user of the Fate Line I've ever seen is you, Wizard Thor."

At this point, Bestana seemed a little confused again.

[And this book of yours, it actually preserved my consciousness completely, even erasing the biases I suffered from being corrupted by the inverted tree... I can't believe a third-tier wizard could possess such a powerful magical artifact. This book, by all accounts, is at least fourth-tier in value.]

Thor thought to himself, "The diary's special features don't stop there. If it allows you to see the golden pages' predictions of the future, and to judge changes in the eye of the storm and the anchor point, it must be at least level five."

He cleared his throat. "You don't need to worry about that. For now, all you need to know is that I need knowledge about the Fate Line."

[I understand. Actually, during the period when I was connected with the inverted tree...]

Thor listened quietly as Bestana recounted the power and perception she gained within the inverted tree, some of which were indeed closely related to the Fate Line.

For example, those controlled by the inverted tree have their fate lines pulled out of their bodies by the inverted tree, which then influences them, making them appear as normal people in ordinary times.

But if the upside-down trees need it, they can be manipulated to act according to the trees' will.

At the same time, if the upside-down tree needs souls, these people will transform from puppets into nourishment for the tree.

Bestana's city-wide sacrifice was a complete development of the latter ability, pushing it to its full potential without regard for the consequences.

Thor suddenly became curious. "I remember in the Tree Heart dimension, you told me that you stole the Wishing Candle from Char. And your subsequent pessimism must have been caused by the curse of the Wishing Candle. What did you wish for back then?"

I naturally hope that I can be successfully resurrected.

[But perhaps I used it improperly; the wish I made was too difficult to fulfill. Although the wishing candle conjured a bottle of liquid, I still couldn't resurrect myself using it. Instead, I fell into despair, which is why, after discovering you had entered the Tree Heart Space, all I wanted was to perish together with you.]

[If you hadn't suddenly mentioned there was another option, I, consumed by despair, would have definitely attacked you.]

"Liquid? What kind of liquid?"

[I don't know, the wishing candle doesn't tell me what I'll wish for. I used it without thinking. It did accelerate my fusion with the upside-down tree, but it also accelerated the corruption on me. Ha, as expected, the wishing candle lives up to its reputation as a cursed object.]

Are there many cursed objects in this world?

[Very rare, at least I know that even many Tier 3 wizards haven't seen one. So I never expected that a Tier 1 wizard like Xia would have a wishing candle. One of the cursed characteristics of a wishing candle is that if anyone asks about it, you must answer and explain.]

"No wonder you answered me so quickly when I asked you what it was. That trait is really..." Thor chuckled, "Trying to incite conflict, huh?"

No wonder Char was so nervous before. Whoever possesses this will have to tell you about the wishing candle if they are discovered and asked.

He's only at level one; no matter who tries to take it from him, he can't win.

After a moment, Bestana suddenly realized what was happening.

Is my information... not very useful to you?

Thor shook his head. "That's not it. I'm interested in how the inverted tree separates its fate lines. What I need more right now is how to connect with the fate lines of other people."

Saul curled his fingers and tapped another black page with his knuckles.

"For example, I now possess a part of a person's soul and her destiny line, but no matter how hard I try, I cannot connect her with another part of a spirit in another world."

[How do you intend to connect, to merge the souls here with those over there? That would likely require traveling to another world, or having a soul from another world come to us. The separation of worlds is a problem that plagues fourth-tier wizards, one that we cannot solve at our current level.]

"Complete integration is not necessary for now, but at the very least, the two should be able to communicate and exchange ideas."

[If that's the case, it would require at least the power of a fourth-tier wizard. Only then would they have a chance to even slightly breach the world barrier and transmit the information.]

Thor was thinking about which fourth-tier wizard he could get help from if he had to ask for their help.

Or rather, which fourth-tier wizard is safer and won't suddenly trip him up halfway through?

At this moment, Pei'er, who had been unwilling to speak, suddenly began writing white characters.

Go find that bastard Ophelia.

Thor lowered his head. "Ophelia knows that Peregrine will be sacrificed, yet she hasn't revealed anything. Are you sure she'll help us?"

Oh, that—

Miss Pei'er, please refrain from using foul language.

On the same black page, a different font appeared – Nerella's font.

[Damn it! Don't call me Pei'er, I'm not that stupid woman!]

Saul tapped the page again. "Go on."

Although Ophelia doesn't approve of the Stargate Project, she's also very interested in the outside world. This woman prioritizes self-interest and will abandon all pretense for her goals. If you give her even a little bit of information about the outside world, she'll definitely be eager to help you.

"Very good." Thor nodded in satisfaction.

From this perspective, Ophelia is indeed a good person to ask for help.

Powerful and intelligent, clear-headed and ruthless.

Such a wizard would be a perfect target for the second goal of the Symphony of Fate!

As for how to bring her into the pentagram of fate, that's something Thor needs to plan carefully.
