Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 903 Persuasion

Making a mental joke to relieve the pressure, Thor asked about something he was more interested in, "How can you be so sure that my mentor will definitely influence the slumber of the Eye of the Abyss? Could there be some misunderstanding?"

What was it that made Frim plot to kill him when his mentor was still at the second rank?

Thor was still wondering if one day he might accidentally break some taboo and be hunted down by Frim.

“There’s no misunderstanding,” Flim said with absolute certainty. “His name is on it.”

Thor looked up sharply, but there was still no one in sight. "Up on what?"

But this time, Frim refused to speak.

The question-and-answer session was entirely dominated by Flim; if the other party didn't want to reveal anything, Saul had no way to provoke him into saying it.

Thor didn't think he could arrogantly order Flim around just because Flim had asked him for help.

He sighed inwardly, and finally asked, "So how would you like me to help you? Let me make it clear first, I don't think I can... ha... save the world."

"I know you have a sorcery artifact called the Death Wizard's Diary."

boom!

It was as if an explosion was ringing in Thor's mind, but he used astonishing willpower to suppress all his overreactions.

He quickly raised his head to an appropriate angle, increased his speaking speed appropriately, and showed appropriate surprise and solemnity in his eyes.

"I do have this item, but I'd like to know, how did you know?"

As soon as he asked the question, a name popped into Thor's mind.

The next second, Flim also uttered the name.

"Kismet. He told me that you were able to become a third-tier wizard so quickly thanks to his help."

Thor thought quickly, "I wonder how many lies that bastard Kismet has made up this time."

Then he thought again, "It would be right for Kismet to lie in a place like this, since a lie would mean that Frim wouldn't really know what abilities the Death Wizard's Diary possesses."

Sure enough, Flim then told a story that didn't quite match reality, yet contained some truth to it.

"...He said that the Death Wizard's Diary was given to you by him. He would help you advance in your cultivation and provide you with certain resources when appropriate, in exchange for you bearing the curse of the Death Wizard's Diary for him. I also investigated afterwards, and your lives did indeed frequently intersect. Although it doesn't seem like many times, it's still too frequent for a hidden fourth-tier and a wizard apprentice."

Thor quickly grasped the key word "curse" in the other person's words.

Therefore, although his voice was alert, it remained relatively calm. "You want the Death Wizard's Diary?"

"Of course. Since it can create a wizard with extremely high immunity to the Black Tide, it should also have a way to deal with the Eye of the Abyss. Even if it's not a way to completely eradicate the Eye of the Abyss, it's worth a try."

Thor raised his left hand, and a dark red hardcover book appeared in his palm. However, it remained closed, unopened.

"This is the diary." Saul extended his left hand forward, raising his wrist slightly. "Kissmet once said that I have completely become the owner of the diary. You can try to take it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Saul felt a force pass through his palm, but the diary remained floating quietly, untouched by anyone.

Thor wasn't surprised, since the diary hadn't given any warning.

"Looks like I can't take it away." Flim's voice didn't seem surprised.

The moment Thor took out the Death Wizard's Diary, he knew his first plan was doomed to fail.

Before Frim could offer any further suggestions, Thor quickly spoke up, "Lord Frim, have you heard of the law of causality?"

Flim remained silent. Even Byron was hearing Saul mention this for the first time, and for a moment he couldn't think of anything else, so he stared at Saul and the hardcover book in his hand.

"The Death Wizard's Journal has a characteristic that almost no one knows," Thor said, sharing his speculations and the information he had obtained from Kismet. "Those who have a karmic entanglement with the journal's owner cannot obtain it. Lord Flim, if you had suddenly killed me before you knew me and the Death Wizard's Journal, you might have had a chance to get the journal. Of course, it's more likely that the journal will disappear until someone completely unrelated to me appears and falls into his hands."

"So, when Kismet handed you the diary?"

"Yes, he doesn't even know who I am."

Flim was speechless. "Ha, Kismet."

Thor lowered his eyes. There was truth and falsehood in this matter, but the part about the Death Wizard's Diary was basically correct.

So Sid, who had tried to steal his diary, didn't know that his plan to use other unsuspecting people to kill Saul was simply not going to work.

Even West Germany's grandfather would never get his hands on the diary.

They can only cause pointless killings.

What followed was an even longer silence, as Flim seemed to be pondering what the chances were of him obtaining the diary if he found someone with absolutely no connection to Thor to kill him.

But after a moment's thought, Flem realized that he couldn't find such a person at all.

During Flem's silence, Byron slowly walked to Saul's side, watching their surroundings warily.

He believed that the presiding judge, Flim, should be a rational person, but he was also afraid that the other party might suddenly have a whim (a moment of madness) and want to try it out.

Compared to Byron's vigilance, Saul was more relaxed.

He knew that even if Frim were to have a moment of madness and want to try it, it wouldn't be now.

Now Flim has something more important to do. He must take advantage of the opportunity when his mentor is led to Kema and he himself is brought here to get rid of Gorsa!

Yes, Saul knew all too well why Frim had forced him to come here again.

Flim should have known that Saul already knew, but he still did it anyway, clearly determined to win this time.

Gorsa's failed promotion attempt presents a rare opportunity for Frim. Even if his intentions are exposed, he needs to buy time.

Thor looked down at his toes.

But who isn't?

"I understand. It seems you've completely mastered this unique magical artifact. I won't bother changing its owner. Who's better at using it than you now?" Frim made his decision; at least for now, Thor was still the best partner.

Even if he killed the other party's mentor, the two would not necessarily become mortal enemies.

After all, they are all wizards, and knowledge and profit are paramount.

"Next, I will give you some treated anchor points. You can use them to experiment first. If you can resolve the contamination, I will give you more original Kuroshio anchor points. If you can even resolve that... I can hand over the position of Chief of the Tribunal to you!"
