Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 889 An and Lucia

Even riding the Bone Flying Lizard, it took Thor a whole day to reach Ann's location.

Of course, he also helped the young apprentice deal with some troubles along the way.

For example, some dangerous monsters lurking beneath the earth.

In fact, if Thor didn't need Noah to quickly establish a large power base so as to collect the skeletal monsters scattered across the chaotic realms as soon as possible, it would be better for Noah to face these dangers on his own.

It's better to let him grow up smoothly for now.

As for the inevitable setbacks that come with growing up, he thought Noah had already experienced them all before he was ten years old.

The flight, neither long nor short, came to an end, and Thor jumped down from the sky above where he sensed Ann's location.

His body was like a feather, soft and gentle, swaying in the wind as it slowly fell.

Meanwhile, Thor was also observing the situation on the ground.

This is a wasteland, but there is a crack in the center of the earth.

The cracks were bottomless, as if the land had been split in two.

As Thor landed, he saw signs of someone having camped near the crack.

Two tents, a campfire, and three people keeping watch from different angles. There are seven or eight other people inside the tents, who appear to be having a meal.

However, there was no safety measure inside.

An seems to have penetrated deep into the cracks.

Thor glanced around casually and determined that the skeleton monsters he needed weren't in their bags. Then, as if blown by the wind, he turned slightly and fell into the bottomless fissure in the earth.

There was no light source in the underground crevice, and Thor continued to descend until he spotted Anne's shadow.

Although it was dark all around, Thor's mental power had already outlined Ann's silhouette.

To Saul's slight surprise, he discovered that Anne hadn't come down alone; there was a little girl with her.

He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, roughly the same age as Noah.

Thor came down silently, so Anne was still talking to the girl.

"This is the thirteenth piece. Can you tell anything about it?"

First, there's An's voice, which sounds gentler than before.

The little girl's voice came through, "Teacher, I can't see anything."

"...So, what did you discover?"

"Of the thirteen pieces, five may have come from the same skeletal monster."

"Yes, this means we could very well find a third complete skeleton monster here."

"It could be half, Professor, that's what you said last time too."

"Lucia!"

"whee……"

Thor listened to their conversation and a smile appeared on his face.

An actually took on a junior apprentice in the chaotic region.

The people here don't have the ability to use witchcraft, but their mental strength is generally stronger than that of ordinary people in the wizarding world.

If they had the opportunity to enter the wizarding world, perhaps many of them could become wizarding apprentices.

However, Thor did not expect that Ann would find so many skeleton monster remains here.

If there are enough of them, it is indeed possible to piece together a complete skeleton monster.

However, Thor is now unsure whether the complete skeletal monsters he obtained earlier, which all exhibited certain undead characteristics, will also possess a certain degree of conscious awareness.

"Ann." Thor's voice echoed in Ann's mind.

Anne was startled, and Lucia, who was on her back, was suddenly thrown off by Anne's straight back and fell directly into a deeper crevice.

However, Anne reacted quickly, extending a spider leg to hook Lucia's belt and pulling her back.

Lucia wasn't too panicked, which might be because she couldn't see the abyss below her.

She said with a hint of complaint, "Teacher, you've forgotten I'm on your back again."

"Ahem, I'll take you up first." Without waiting for Lucia's objection, Ann quickly climbed up using both hands and feet.

Less than a minute later, she climbed back up and lit a torch.

In the chaotic realm, she had also become accustomed to using ordinary tools as much as possible, rather than resorting to witchcraft.

After all, here, her magic could only be replenished with magic crystals smuggled from the wizarding world. Even a fourth-tier wizard had to use his magic with extreme caution.

"Master!" An Qingli's face appeared beside the torch, and she looked more lively than before.

Therefore, sometimes physical fatigue can relieve mental stress.

Because mental stress often stems from overthinking.

Seeing Anne's current state, Thor realized that leaving her in the Chaotic Realm was the right decision.

"You've gained quite a bit here."

An nodded. "We found that many skeletal monsters are buried very deep underground. Therefore, I think this fissure is bottomless. Even when I used my mental power to explore it, I couldn't find the end. Such a deep place may very well hide the complete skeletal monster we are looking for."

Anne opened a backpack she had just taken off and showed it to Saul. "Look," she said, "we've only been here a few days, and we've already gained more than we did in the previous months."

Thor glanced down and confirmed that it contained many skeleton monster remains. Some of the remains were quite large, and as Ann had said before, they could potentially be pieced together to form a complete skeleton monster.

This is ultimately a good thing that refreshes the research progress.

"Most of these remains were found in the surrounding walls," Ann added softly.

"If there are so many inside the walls, are there even more down below?"

An hesitated and shook her head. "I don't know, I... I didn't dare to go down."

Saul was taken aback. Ann wasn't one to lack courage. "Did you notice something amiss?"

"I tried to go deeper down, but the further down I went, the more panicked I became and the more pressure I felt. I always felt that if I kept going down, I would never reach the end."

"Won't it end?" Thor looked down at his feet, where it was pitch black. His mental scan had not yet revealed how deep the bottom was.

"Yes, I always feel like there's no bottom here, and if I fall, I'll just keep falling."

"Then why did you bring your junior apprentice down with you? She said you've already let him go several times?"

An Lorry blushed slightly. "I could keep up with her speed of descent. Besides, I always feel uneasy when I'm alone looking at the ground. Lucia is thick-skinned; when I talk to her, I temporarily forget that there's a bottomless world beneath my feet."

So, Anne brought her apprentice along to bolster her courage. Anne also deliberately allowed Lucia to say offensive things, which would bring the two closer and make it easier for them to talk more.

"However, the deeper I go, the more skeletal remains I find. So I will still try my best to go down." Ann tried to prove that she would still complete the task Saul had assigned her.

"Don't worry, safety comes first." Thor waved his hand, there was no need to risk his life now. "I'll go down and take a look myself."
