Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 114
Chapter 114 Black Castle
“Senior Byron, why did you turn into human skin and hang on the tree?” Looking at Byron who had already sat back in the carriage, Thor asked with a dark face.
He really thought Byron was a monster just now!
“Well…” Byron was a little embarrassed to speak. He glanced at the driver who had been cured and continued to drive the carriage, with a small crack on his neck. “I just… took a bath.”
So you hang yourself up to dry?
Thor was speechless.
While talking, they had arrived at the door of the Black Castle.
Thor and Byron got off the car one by one.
Thor looked at the coachman who was still a little depressed with the mushroom cap on his head, and said: “There is basically no problem with the mushroom on your head. It will fall off automatically after two days when it withers.”
In fact, the mushroom on the coachman’s head was no longer as plump as before, and looked a little wilted.
The coachman, who had always been emotionless, suddenly looked up, looked at Thor with tears in his eyes, then knelt down suddenly and kowtowed hard.
The mushroom cap “banged” into the ground.
The driver said nothing, because it was useless for him to say anything. He
had survived the Wizard Tower with great difficulty until now, and he had already understood the rules of survival.
If you are useful, you can survive.
But he still kowtowed twice to Thor’s back, and the mushroom cap was smashed into the ground, and then pulled out, becoming more and more sluggish.
Although Thor did not look back, he also heard the movement behind him.
“Actually, it was the senior who saved him.”
“Yeah.” Byron nodded to Thor and pointed at Thor.
Thor understood that Byron was affirming that he had not given up on the driver.
Byron’s mouth cracked, “The driver is a tool. When you go out, you must be good at keeping and maintaining tools.”
Byron’s words sounded a little ruthless, but this is the philosophy of life of wizards. As long as it is useful, you can protect it.
The two came to the gate of the slender castle.
This gate is also slender, one meter wide and four meters high. Fat people can’t squeeze in.
Byron stepped forward, bent his knuckles, and knocked twice lightly.
Thor could feel that Byron’s two moves actually contained magic.
A vertical pupil suddenly opened in the middle of the door, and a circle of rune arrays formed its pupil.
The pupil first scanned Byron’s body, and then took Thor behind him into its eyes.
Then the vertical pupil closed, and the door opened outwards, and opened automatically with a “click”.
“When the door of the Black Castle opens outwards, you can enter. When it opens inwards, it is the entrance for transmitting materials. Don’t enter by mistake.”
After saying that, Senior Byron walked in first, and Thor followed closely behind.
The two walked through the door, and the door closed automatically again.
The interior of the Black Castle is not gloomy and terrifying, and can even be said to be magnificent.
It’s just that the decoration inside is also slender.
The hall is ten meters high, and the crystal chandelier hanging from the top is five meters.
It’s shaky and feels like it will fall at any time.
The hall is only three meters wide, but it is dozens of meters deep. At the end is a symmetrical curved staircase, and it looks like the steps are only one meter wide.
It really doesn’t give the fat man a way to live.
Just as Thor was observing the entire Black Castle, a dark green branch suddenly emerged from the gate behind him, like a hideous and terrifying mummy hand, and silently approached the back of Thor’s head little by little.
The hand slowly transformed into a claw, and it was about to strangle Thor’s neck.
Suddenly, a black tentacle emerged from behind Thor’s neck, and neatly wrapped around the sneaky branch, and a death stranglehold was swung, easily destroying the sneak attacker.
When Byron and Thor heard the noise, they hurriedly turned around, and only a dry branch broken into several sections was left on the ground. When Byron
saw the branch, he immediately realized who was making trouble.
“Huh?” He whispered to the hall.
“Haha, haha, don’t be angry, don’t be angry.”
Hearing the voice behind him, Thor turned around again and saw a thin man walking down the stairs.
The man was more than two meters tall, but as thin as a bamboo pole.
Byron looked at the visitor coldly, “Yeah!”
“I know, I know.” The visitor was still smiling. He looked at Thor, leaned on his knees with both hands, and bent down. “Hello, hello, you must be Thor. I am the caretaker of the Wizard Tower in Black Castle. My name is Mochi Mochi.”
Thor hesitated for a moment. He was wondering whether this person’s name was Mochi Mochi, or if he just said it twice because of a habit of speaking.
“Hello… Mr. Mochi Mochi.”
The other party was still smiling, and his eyebrows were curved like two brackets.
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I was just curious, curious about who could help Byron successfully enter the third level before the age of 30. I was thinking that after he was driven out of the Wizard Tower, he reluctantly asked him to help me and help me watch the gate.”
“Lucky luck.” Thor answered modestly.
Hearing Thor’s answer, Mochi Mochi was even happier.
“Oh, I like you, I like you, little guy. You are so thin and as good-looking as me. My mentor is Anze, are you too?”
“I follow Kaz.”
“Oh, Kaz is also very good, but a little boring.”
Byron: “Huh?”
“…I’m just not stable enough, haha, I’m not stable enough.”
“I’ll take Thor to rest, you go back.” Byron couldn’t listen anymore. He saw Thor coming alone, full of doubts, and didn’t want to waste time with Mochimochi anymore.
“Okay, okay.” Mochimochi was not angry either. He took a step to the left, cleared the passage in the hall, and watched the two people go upstairs with a smile.
Byron took Thor up the stairs on the right to the second floor and brought him to a room that was also as slender as a coffin.
“Why did you come here by yourself, where is Nick?”
Thor quickly told him what happened in Mofan Town.
After hearing this, Byron’s face was not very good.
He opened his throat and showed his sharp teeth.
“Thor, remember this. No matter who takes the task in the future, as long as you don’t see the specific content of the task, you can’t complete it for others.”
Thor was stunned, “Is there any inside story about this mission?”
“Think about it, the Mosheng Fruit calms emotions. If someone in the tower needs it, who is the most likely one?”
Thor was stunned for a moment, then reacted, “Nick? If he needs the Mosheng Fruit, why doesn’t he go there in person?”
“That’s the problem. Obviously, his task is just to go to Mofan Town and express the attitude of the Wizard Tower. But he said there is a secret mission to investigate the reason for the reduction in the production of Mosheng Fruit. But you don’t even know whether there is such a secret mission. All you have is a letter of reprimand from Mentor Rum, right?”
Thor’s face looked a little ugly.
“Besides, he asked you to investigate the reason. Do you need to solve the problem? If you know the person who caused the reduction in the production of Mosheng Fruit, how should you deal with that person? You don’t know all this, right? Because you are not the one who took the task.”
Thor knew that he was really careless this time.
Since the first test, he has been favored by various instructors. Although he has not received any special treatment, the crises in his life have indeed become less severe. Even his diary rarely appears to predict death.
Even though Thor has warned himself again and again to be alert at all times, his vigilance has inevitably dropped a little.
“Senior, are you saying that Nick may have deliberately led me to Mofan Town? But what is his intention in doing so?”
Thor asked, but he was actually asking himself.
Are there any powerful enemies in Mofan Town? Even if they want to kill him with the help of barbarians, it is unlikely.
Even if Thor cannot beat them, he can still run away.
Does Nick know what happened in Mofan Town?
While Thor was thinking, Byron beside him suddenly said leisurely: “When Nick arrives, ask him.”
Thor looked up in surprise, then laughed again, “Yes, ask him first.”
Thor crossed his arms, “If I hadn’t been temporarily promoted to level 2 this time, those red-skinned barbarians would have been really hard to deal with. Nick must pay me more.”
Byron: “Hmm… Hmm?”
Byron looked at Thor again, and then he noticed that the level 1 assistant he had found had actually upgraded himself.
So the original reward for Thor… was it a little less?
