Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 975 is really good!

Seeing Fiona's eyes darting around rapidly, Agu knew she was wavering.

He breathed a sigh of relief and carefully moved away from the arc of dark light in front of him.

"I still remember every little detail of those ten years. If you don't believe me, you can ask me. We separated when you were fifteen. So much time has passed; I can't possibly search your father's soul on a whim, can I?"

Fiona did ask a few questions, some of which were already hazy in her memory, but Agu could always recall them quickly. It was as if these memories were constantly replaying in his mind.

"Then why did you leave when I was fifteen?"

"I initially used your father's identity because I was fleeing from others. I left because those who were hunting me discovered the identity I was using. If I hadn't left, you would have been killed by my enemies too."

Fiona frowned as she listened. Looking at the completely unfamiliar Agu, she couldn't reconcile him with the father she remembered. "Who's chasing you?"

Agu lowered his eyes, a bitter smile on his face. "Would you believe me if I said I didn't know either?"

"Ridiculous!" Fiona exclaimed immediately.

"Nana." Agu looked at Fiona's face, which was no longer young, "I'm sorry, Daddy couldn't protect you."

Fiona's initial distrust froze after hearing Agu's apology.

Many, many years have passed since her father left, and Fiona is no longer the helpless fifteen-year-old girl she once was. After becoming a full-fledged wizard and joining the Stargate Council, she has almost forgotten even the sadness she felt back then.

The only thing he hadn't forgotten was his hatred for the Faceless Men.

Because the person who saved her said that her father, whom she had raised with great difficulty, was killed by the Faceless Man. Many people in this world have also lost loved ones because of the Faceless Man. And the Faceless Man not only killed his relatives, but also transformed into their faces, enjoying the lives that others had once enjoyed.

Through repeated, brainwashing-like education, Fiona developed a deep hatred for the Faceless Men, determined to eradicate their race from the world, even at the cost of her own future.

But who would have thought that her father, who had been dead for many years, was also a faceless man.

Fiona's long-held beliefs were severely shaken; her chest heaved like a fish being dragged ashore.

"Fiona..." Agu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Fiona.

"Don't say anything. I need to be alone."

Despite her resistance, Fiona managed to untangle all the dark arcs that bound Agu.

"You go first, I need to think it over. I'll come find you when I've made up my mind."

Agu knew that it would be difficult to make Fiona believe him immediately; her current behavior was already beyond Agu's expectations.

"Alright." He couldn't bear to see Fiona in pain, so after the arc disappeared, he took a step back. "Then I'll go back first. If you want to find me, you can always go to Wizard Byron's residence."

Fiona kept her head down and did not respond to Agu.

Agu gave Fiona a deep look, then turned away helplessly, preparing to leave.

But at that moment, the warehouse door, which had just been sealed by a magic circle, was suddenly opened from the outside.

The light shining in made Agu instinctively squint.

Then he saw a familiar face walk in.

Murridge's two telescope-like eyes narrowed to almost nothing. He first glanced at the silent Fiona before turning to Agu and giving him a smile.

Are you going back?

Agu didn't have a good impression of Murridge, but given that the other party was also a third-tier wizard, he still nodded respectfully.

"Yes, Lord Murridge."

"Hmm, I heard Fiona asked you to come here to find out about the Faceless Man. That child can be a bit impulsive sometimes; I hope she didn't hurt you?"

"No. We've cleared up the misunderstanding, so please don't make things difficult for her."

Murridge laughed, but his eyes remained narrowed, making Agu uncomfortable.

"Of course not, Fiona is a very important wizard to me."

These words sounded a bit strange, and Agu instantly felt the worry of an old father, instinctively not wanting Murridge and Fiona to be alone together.

"Then, Lord Murridge, could you please escort me away from here?"

"Of course!" Murridge said without any airs, "but I have a few questions for you."

When Agu heard Murridge say "however," he already tensed up. "Go ahead and ask."

Do you know the whereabouts of the other Faceless Men?

Agu squinted. Murridge meant that he still wanted to find traces of other Faceless Men to conduct experiments.

Asking such a question so openly in front of him clearly shows that he doesn't really take Agu seriously.

Despite his disgust, Agu answered honestly so as not to affect Fiona, "After leaving Iskeper, I was trapped in Lord Gorsa's wizard tower until recently when I left with Lord Thor. So I really don't know the whereabouts of any Faceless Men."

Murridge sighed in disappointment. "It seems you really don't know. By the way, do you have any way to help us find Iskepar's Faceless Man?"

Agu still shook his head. Even if he knew, let alone didn't know, how could he possibly tell the person in front of him?

"Alright then. It seems there really is no other way." Murridge walked towards Agu.

Agu immediately became alert, ready to send a signal to Thor at any moment.

However, Murridge calmly walked past Agu and went to Fiona's side. "You heard it too. We really have no other way to get a new Faceless Man now."

Fiona then looked up and said to Murridge with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, sir, I'll think of another way as soon as possible."

She didn't mention Agu again, fearing that Murridge would directly decide to exterminate Agu's soul.

Although she is still conflicted about the sudden news, she has already instinctively begun to protect Agu.

"I have a backup plan." Murridge's voice was completely flat, and he didn't seem angry about Fiona's failure.

Just as Fiona was about to ask what it was, she suddenly felt her field of vision rise considerably.

She seemed to be lifted up by unspoken agreement, but she could no longer feel her body.

She vaguely realized something, but instead of looking down to search for her body, she used her last bit of strength to lift her eyelids and glance at Agu standing at the door.

Agu was facing away from the light, so he couldn't see very clearly.

But this blurry outline suddenly brought back memories that Fiona had forgotten for decades.

The blurry outline was so familiar, just like when she was fifteen, her father left home for work, and she, still in bed, had just woken up, rubbing her eyes, and groggily said goodbye to her father.

That's what she saw back then.

Fiona saw her father running towards her, as if he was about to say...

"Nana, Daddy isn't going to work today."

Very nice.

"ah!!!!!"

Agu rushed forward like a madman.

At this moment, he had forgotten that he was only a second-tier soul entity, and he had also forgotten that the man opposite him was a third-tier wizard who was highly valued by Alec.

He only wanted to kill Murridge in front of him.

He's going to kill him!!!
