Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 133
Chapter 133 Initiative
Of course!
Thor nodded repeatedly, and even showed anticipation in his eyes.
Although his job requirement was to leave the East Tower before eight o’clock, since the leaders of the entire wizard tower were here, who would care about this little rule?
“Let’s go in and talk.” Gorza raised his chin.
Thor looked back following the instructions of the tower master, and found that he and the tower master had returned to the second floor of the East Tower, in front of the third morgue.
At this time, the giant had just opened the scarlet door and pushed the cart out.
As soon as he saw Gorza behind Thor, his whole body stopped moving immediately, as if he was petrified in an instant.
Thor, who was standing in front of him, could feel that the giant’s emotions were changing from panic to collapse.
Gorza just waved his hand, signaling the giant to continue working.
The giant got the order, immediately put his feet down, and continued to work with the cart.
But his movements were extremely stiff, and his limbs were rusty as if he hadn’t been oiled for several years.
After watching the giant walk into the depths of the corridor with a strange posture, Thor followed Gorza into the morgue.
When he walked in, Golsa was already standing in front of Thor’s lab table, looking at Thor’s lab equipment and notes.
Hearing Thor come in, Golsa turned around and asked with a smile: “Would it be convenient for me to see your notes?”
Thor nodded quickly, “Of course.”
He couldn’t show it to outsiders, so he disposed of it before leaving the morgue.
Golsa picked up Thor’s notebook that he used to record the witch body transformation experiment and flipped through it twice.
Thor became even more nervous, as if the principal was personally correcting his homework.
Golsa quickly put Thor’s notes back in place, turned to face Thor, and leaned against the table.
He smiled and said, “Now you have realized that the soul is a very interesting thing, right?”
Interesting? For a powerful wizard like the tower master, it is interesting.
Thor smiled ingratiatingly and nodded very servilely.
“The original purpose of transforming the skin was to increase the magic power, but after adding a little soul fragment, a new spirit ester was formed. Although the idea is a bit strange, there is no big problem in general.”
“What surprises me is that you can now remove impurities to improve the quality of spirit ester. I thought you had to wait until you were promoted to the second level and learned the knowledge in this area before you could get involved in this field.”
Gorza clapped his hands lightly, “Your progress always exceeds my expectations. Through self-study, you can complete the transformation of the witch body and even upgrade and purify the spirit ester. I heard that you are also very good at learning witchcraft, which has far surpassed the apprentices of the same level.”
Faced with the praise of the tower master, Thor did not feel ashamed.
Although his success is inseparable from the diary and Xiaozao, it is even more inseparable from his own continuous efforts and the courage to risk his life.
Gorza waved to Thor, “As a reward, you can raise any confusion in your studies.”
This time it was Thor’s turn to be surprised.
But after the surprise, his mind was in a mess, and he didn’t know what to ask for a while.
After sorting out his thoughts, Thor asked a question that had troubled him for a long time, “Master of the Tower, do you know that there is an evil spirit in the library?”
Unexpectedly, Gorza tilted his head and denied, “There is no evil spirit in the library. I don’t want the apprentices in the tower to die so meaninglessly.”
He chuckled, “If you are talking about the one on the fourteenth row of bookshelves… that is your fear, not the evil spirit.”
“My fear?” Thor didn’t expect this answer at all.
When he first saw the person lying under the bookshelf, he was really scared. Later, he went to check again and saw the person lying there again.
Thor couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, and didn’t know whether the other party was dead or alive, but he still didn’t dare to get close.
As soon as he got closer, he would feel his heartbeat speed up, his breathing became rapid, and even drops of cold sweat would flow.
“Is it because I preconceived that there are books about evil spirits there, so I think there is a ghost there?” Thor said to himself.
“Are you actually afraid of ghosts?” Golsa slowly turned his neck and looked at the morgue where Sol worked. “This… is a little beyond my expectation.”
Sol followed Golsa’s gaze and looked at his workroom, which was comparable to a crime scene and a classic haunted house. He was suddenly embarrassed.
Could he explain that he was afraid of the ghosts in those ghost movies in his previous life, which had no explanation at all?
But Lord Golsa did not laugh at him for this. Instead, he asked seriously: “Sol, do you still remember the definition of ghosts in the cognition of all things?”
“Ghosts are those that cannot be completely controlled by subjective consciousness, and monsters are those that are controlled by other subjective consciousnesses.”
“Yes, but the most important thing is that it is a combination of the extinct spirit and consciousness. I call this composite form of spirit and consciousness a soul.”
Thor listened carefully, and suddenly felt that the tower master was very much like his teacher at this time, and easily brought the topic back to the content of the class.
“You asked me if there were any evil spirits in the library, so you wanted to borrow books, right?”
“Yes.” Thor admitted.
Because of his research on spirit esters, he needed to check the books there, but because of the human body that was suspected to be an evil spirit, Thor had never dared to get too close.
He didn’t expect that the human body lying on the bookshelf was his fear, and he always thought that the knowledge of the evil spirit was beyond his current strength, so it acted very dangerous.
Gorza crossed his fingers, “Then let me ask you another question. If you really encounter an evil spirit, how should you resist it?”
…
“If I really encounter an evil spirit, how should I resist it?” Thor closed his eyes and asked himself this question again.
He still remembered that he answered three options at the time.
The first one was to defeat the enemy with force. Directly defeat the spirit’s spirit, consume the energy of the evil spirit itself, and force it to dissipate.
This is the principle of 0-level witchcraft to attack the undead.
The second method is to wipe it out from the consciousness. Let the evil spirit’s originally incomplete consciousness dissipate actively or passively.
This is the reason why some evil spirits automatically dissipate after their obsessions are satisfied.
The third method is Thor’s sudden idea, and it is also a combination of the first two methods.
When the evil spirit is weaker than himself, he can naturally choose the first or second method.
But if the evil spirit is too powerful to be defeated, the first method cannot be defeated, and the second method requires time and opportunity, and it is difficult to deal with the evil spirit in front of him.
Thor thought of his experience of using spirit ester and diary to imprison Cid’s soul fragments and consciousness respectively, and wondered if he could actively lure the spirit into the spirit ester to differentiate its consciousness and spiritual body. Then find a way to destroy them separately.
This idea is just a theoretical guess, and it is not much easier to do than to kill the enemy above his level.
But when Gorza heard Thor’s third plan, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then began to chuckle softly, and the sound gradually became louder, almost spreading throughout the second floor of the East Tower. It was
the first time Thor saw the tower master have such a strong emotional change.
He had no idea why the tower master was laughing, so he could only stare at him blankly, trying to tell whether the tower master’s emotions contained mockery or happiness.
Until now, Thor still didn’t know why the tower master laughed so exaggeratedly.
But the tower master still affirmed his idea, and just said: “This plan is difficult to achieve.”
That night, the tower master came over, patted Thor on the shoulder, and told him, “But wizards should challenge difficulties. Your answer satisfies me. When you are promoted to level two, I will give you a reward.”
Thor didn’t know what reward the tower master would give him now, but he knew that if he couldn’t solve this evil spirit today, he wouldn’t see any reward.
Thor closed his eyes, and the laboratory and the tower master in front of him disappeared.
He opened his eyes again and found that his eyes were dark, and his hands and feet were numb and unable to move.
But fortunately, he could still feel his hands and feet.
“I’m not dead?”
“I tried every trick I could, but I couldn’t stop the evil spirit from approaching. Can I say that he is worthy of being a formal wizard-level evil spirit? Even if he is not complete, he can still kill me easily.”
“But I’m not dead… he possessed me?”
“No!” Thor stretched his limbs hard, trying to regain control of his body, “No! He didn’t possess me!”
A force was transmitted from the brain to the body, and then gradually spread to the limbs.
The warm feeling made the limbs regain consciousness.
Thor sat up suddenly.
“He didn’t possess me, but I took the initiative to introduce him into my body! Into the spirit ester! I… took the initiative to absorb him!”
