Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 888 Signs of Resurgence

After mentioning that Ann was collecting white monsters, Noah belatedly realized that he had delayed Thor's important business because of his own trivial matters.

He quickly said, "Master, do you have any new instructions for me?"

Thor then asked unhurriedly, "How many skeletal monsters have you collected by now?"

"Currently, the only complete skeleton we have is the one fish skeleton we already gave you. The rest are incomplete limbs, mostly just broken bones, and it's not even clear what kind of creature they belong to." Noah was somewhat ashamed, because the search for the skeletal monster hadn't gone smoothly. After all these years, they only had one small fish, which couldn't compare to Thor's current mount.

But Thor was not disappointed.

The white bone flying lizard he found was actually because he transformed into black bones and exposed the anchor point in his palm, which attracted the giant lizard that was sleeping underground.

Thor was completely unaware that the giant lizard was deep underground until it emerged.

When these skeletal monsters slumber, they are as silent as real corpses. If it weren't for the local legends and stories, Noah would have had a very difficult time finding that one of the skeletal monster fish.

However, Thor did not reveal his true thoughts; he still hoped that Noah would work harder to find the Boguic and its remains.

"We should still try to collect as many skeletons as possible. Complete monster skeletons are best, but if we can't find complete ones, fragmented skeletons are fine too," he told Noah. "We can send people out to search more often, and send out even stronger people if we find any clues."

Noah nodded repeatedly.

"Now, hand over all the skeletal monsters you've collected."

That was the real reason Thor rushed over.

"Ah, because it's not easy for someone to guard the skeleton closely, I buried all the bone fragments in the Blackwater City cemetery."

Burying bones in a pile of corpses makes them difficult to find.

Thor asked for directions, and then vanished from Noah's room.

Noah actually had some things he wanted to say to Thor.

Although he is now focused on developing the Death Cult centered around Thor, he also has some questions about witchcraft that he would like to ask.

However, seeing that Thor had already left, Noah had no choice but to suppress his thirst for knowledge.

He glanced at the dusty sorcery notes in his room and sighed softly, "Looks like it's time for me to find a successor."

Noah, who was not yet fifteen years old, uttered the sigh of someone who was fifty.

Thor arrived at the Great Tomb and found that it was far from Blackwater City, and apart from a few guards, there was basically no one living nearby.

Calling this place a "great cemetery" is an exaggeration; it could also be called a "mass grave."

Clearly, due to rapid expansion and the search for the Bone Monster, the inhabitants and slaves of Blackwater City also paid a heavy price in lives.

The dead here are buried haphazardly underground, some even with dozens of people buried in a large pit, making it almost like a mass grave.

The remains and fragments of the skeletal monster that Noah mentioned were buried in the largest mass grave.

It seems Noah intentionally concealed the purpose of the skeletal monster, only revealing its rarity as a complete specimen. Perhaps he was afraid others would discover its special nature and compete with him for resources.

Thor casually put away the disguised and buried bones, and with another teleport, returned to the skeleton flying lizard high in the sky.

Then, based on the information Noah gave him, and with his own senses, he located Anne's position and set off again.

An's location is quite a distance from Blackwater City; if traveling normally, it might take ten or even several dozen days.

Thor had more time this time, so he didn't rush to teleport there. Instead, he flew and observed the terrain of the chaotic area.

In order to complete the tasks assigned by Thor and develop the power of Blackwater City, Noah almost never took the initiative to ask Thor for help.

But the apprentice's silence doesn't mean the master won't help at all.

As Thor flew, he memorized the terrain and tribes of the surrounding area, using his powerful memory to create a very accurate map for Noah.

With this map, Noah had a much easier time developing expansion plans and building cities.

High in the air, Thor discovered that there weren't many tribes near Blackwater City; it seemed that most of them had been incorporated by Noah.

But after traveling a little further, Thor saw a dead land, where nothing grew and strange gases were rising from the ground.

Thor sent the Bone Flying Lizards down to investigate, and they discovered a Darkfire ore vein underground.

Darkfire is a resource frequently used by low-level wizards when crafting magical items. It's not rare in the wizarding world, but it has a wide range of uses. Even in the Chaotic Realm, it can be used for some weapons and energy.

The discovery of the Darkfire vein gave Thor a little surprise, but more than that, he was astonished.

This is a chaotic region where magical elemental particles are scarce, not a wizarding world, so how could there be a dark fire ore vein here?

Is the world recovering?

Thinking of the large amount of inert black powder and bone fragments that filled the underground, Thor frowned. If this chaotic region were to regain the activity of magical elemental particles, it might not be a good thing.

However, considering the overall elemental concentration of the world, even if the Chaotic Domain wanted to recover, it would take several hundred years.

Perhaps by then, he had already found a way to solve the Kuroshio Current.

"In a few hundred years, I'll be at least at the fourth rank. If my research in the Rainbow World goes smoothly, I might even reach the fifth rank. With the help of the Fate Line and the Death Wizard's Diary, the sixth rank isn't impossible," Thor thought to himself. "However, becoming a sixth rank seems to require killing a world... That rule is rather cruel! Or will I become indifferent to life and not care about the survival of a world once I reach the fifth rank?"

Some things are terrifying when you think about them closely.

When you still have humanity, you realize that losing it is a terrifying thing.

If someone truly loses all their nature in order to become stronger, then have they become stronger, or have they disappeared?

Thor didn't know what choices he would make in the future.

He must now advance to at least the fourth rank.

Flim's eyes were already fixed on Thor, and it was hard to guarantee that the other party wouldn't discover anything else special about Thor.

After all, the ability to absorb the Black Tide's pollution is one of Thor's most unremarkable talents.

Thor raised the Bone Lizard back to its original height, but before leaving, he used Soul Blade to open a hole in the Darkfire Mine below.

A large amount of steam carrying toxic fumes suddenly erupted from the ground.

Thick gray smoke shot straight into the sky.

"That way, Noah's men will definitely notice the anomaly here." Thor then casually cast a purification spell to prevent the entire army from being wiped out when Noah sent people to mine.

Of course, it couldn't be fed directly into Noah's mouth either, as getting benefits too easily would not help Noah build prestige among the people.

After doing all this, Thor continued on his way, preparing to check on Ann's progress.

"If I could obtain a few more complete skeletal monsters, I might be able to reassemble them into an even more powerful entity, making it a greater threat to Frim!"
