Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 887 Highest Priority

Thor left the Black Desert to find Noah, giving Claire and Byron some time to process what had happened.

After all, not everyone can remain calm upon hearing that they are going to deal with a fourth-tier wizard who possesses one of the world's greatest powers.

Thor didn't just recently come up with the idea of ​​fighting against Frim.

Long before he heard that the Tribunal was behind the rebellion of the Gorsa Wizard Tower, he had wondered how he would fight back if the Tribunal issued a death warrant against him.

But back then he was too weak, and thinking about it was useless, so the thought remained buried in his heart.

Until he was semi-forced into going to Eternal Night, Thor had always honestly kept this idea hidden.

Until Flim suddenly imprisoned him and took one of his arms without warning.

That day, Saul's long-dormant desire to defy the Tribunal was rekindled!

Flim could easily take away one of his arms when he wanted to study his talents, and he could also kill Thor for experiments when the other party deemed it necessary.

Thor's ability to absorb and process the Black Tide pollution is one of the abilities that Freim needs most.

It's understandable that the other party hadn't seen Thor's abilities before, but Thor isn't the only one who can heal from contamination.

But it was only when Flem discovered the efficiency and uniqueness of Thor's ability to absorb contamination, coupled with the fact that Thor himself showed no signs of being contaminated, that Flem became interested.

Thor's talent combined with Flim's arrogance made reconciliation between the two impossible.

Of course, Thor wouldn't be foolish enough to charge in with only Claire and Byron.

He's very good at finding powerful backers. Just like when he first found Byron to help him fight against West Germany.

"The first accomplice, needless to say, is Mentor Gorsa. Frim is planning to assassinate his mentor. As for the second, I think the Black Flame Emperor would be very interested in Stuart's whereabouts."

While Thor was pondering which forces to unite against Frim, the Bone Lizard had already carried him to the skies above Blackwater City.

When I returned six months later, it seemed that some changes had occurred here again.

The population outside the city has increased, but most of them are slaves in chains.

It seems that Noah has begun his campaigns and has achieved some success.

Thor left the skeletons suspended high in the air, out of sight of people, while he himself teleported to Noah's side.

Gods cannot always appear before people, so this time it is enough for Noah to know that he is coming.

Thor appeared invisibly beside Noah and saw him standing behind Scorpion, watching Scorpion handle things.

At this moment, Noah was dressed in a long black robe with a white half-skull on it, beneath which was a scale. This appeared to be a emblem designed by Noah, an image imprinted with magic, and the local production capacity was not yet capable of producing such an exquisite and detailed design.

Out of curiosity, Thor stood behind Scorpion and listened for a while, only to find that Scorpion was simply handling government affairs. However, he could tell that although Scorpion had undergone several years of training, he was not a qualified ruler.

He lacks a firm will and is always wavering, sometimes thinking one person is right and other people have a point. As a result, he discusses and deliberates over a matter but can't make a decision.

Noah watched from the side, frowning slightly, but did not offer any advice.

By the time Scorpion finally came up with a plan and asked another person to report the results and make corrections as needed, an hour had already passed.

If they had just discussed something important, that would be one thing, but Saul thought it was just a trivial matter concerning the resettlement of residents.

After everyone left, Scorpion turned back to Noah with a smug look on his face and said, "How was it? Did I act like a king just now?"

Noah was about to speak when he heard a voice. His expression remained unchanged, but what he said was, "Think about it some more. I have things to do here, so I'll head back now."

Scorpion initially thought that Noah hadn't scolded him and that he had done a good job, but later he realized that Noah seemed to want to get rid of him and seemed to be getting impatient with him.

Scorpion mumbled something, but his voice was muffled and completely inaudible.

Noah couldn't stand seeing Scorpion like that, so he turned and left.

After Noah left Scorpion's room, he went out, turned a corner, and returned to where he lived.

After entering, Noah closed the door and then respectfully greeted, "Mentor!"

Thor appeared, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "You were just handling government affairs. It seems that Blackwater City's development is on the right track."

Noah smiled smugly, but the smile turned bitter. "However, I realized that I had oversimplified many things. Although I can build a powerful force using witchcraft, it is still too difficult to make that force operate according to my instructions. Many obstacles will arise that I never expected."

Noah sighed, "And Scorpion isn't a qualified leader either. When I first met him, and since he had also met you, I acted closer to Scorpion in order to better integrate into the tribe. This led them to believe that Scorpion held a high position in my eyes, and they gradually pushed him into the position of leader. But as time went on, I realized that Scorpion was not suitable to be a leader."

Thor didn't care about any of that. "If it's not a good fit, we'll find another one."

"I put in a lot of effort to get Sasori on the stage back then, and now that I'm going to replace him, the cost will be even greater. After all, Sasori has already accumulated a lot of prestige."

"Don't worry about sunk costs; replace it if necessary. You're not using many resources here."

Noah thought about it for a moment, but still had no intention of changing the person. He just looked at Thor hopefully and asked, "Mentor, is there any way we can directly modify the scorpion's body?"

Thor looked at Noah. "How do you plan to modify him?"

Noah's gaze was intense. "I want to make Scorpion incredibly powerful, invincible on any battlefield. Conquer all enemy tribes in known territories as soon as possible."

Thor warned Noah, "Superhuman modifications to an ordinary person's body often come at the cost of life."

Noah laughed.

Thor suddenly understood Noah's idea. "You want Scorpion to die at his peak, leaving behind a spiritual leader, and then replace him with a more capable successor, but one with less prestige?"

Noah's smile suddenly froze, and he asked in astonishment, "How...how did you know?"

"Maybe... I've been reading too many books," Thor said casually. "You don't even need to ask me. Didn't I leave An here to help you? An is an expert in flesh magic; you can just ask her."

Noah had no idea that Anne was proficient in flesh magic, because Anne never conducted any research or study of magic here, but only relied on her sharp spider legs that could transform into the lower body of a spider to reap the lives of her enemies.

She has transformed into a powerful spider-woman warrior.

"By the way, isn't An here?"

Thor tried to sense Anne's presence, but she seemed to be quite far away, and the connection between the two was somewhat faint.

"Ah, Lord An is leading a team to collect skeletal monsters, so your matter is naturally the highest priority."
