Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 155

Chapter 155 New Job

Because of the embarrassing Xiaozao, Thor sat in the laboratory of Professor Rum for another ten minutes before leaving.

When Xiaozao just appeared from behind his neck, Thor still suspected that the spirit was attached to Xiaozao.

But seeing Xiaozao’s later performance, well… he felt that this option could be ruled out.

Before leaving, Nick told Thor that Byron had already collected his share of the mission reward.

Thor could go to Byron’s dormitory to ask for it at any time.

Because Thor was only a first-level apprentice when he took this task, and he only registered for the assisting task, Byron could completely collect his share of the mission reward on his behalf.

Even if it was not returned to Thor afterwards, the registration office would not care.

But this matter was the least urgent thing for Thor.

Senior Byron helped him more than once and saved his life twice. Even if all these contributions were given to Byron, Thor would not care.

What’s more, the biggest gain of this outing mission is here with Thor.

The knowledge of two third-level apprentices and a second-level wizard is all in the diary.

Even if they lost some of their memories due to death, the remaining ones were a huge knowledge base for Thor!

This time, Thor had accumulated quite a lot of soul fragments, so he didn’t have to worry about the three pieces of black paper disappearing quickly due to insufficient soul energy.

For a wizard, nothing is more important than knowledge.

The excitement of the harvest made Thor temporarily forget the trouble of a dark shadow following him. He went to the registration office to change his name tag, and then went to the morgue on the second floor of the East Tower.

Before leaving the tower, he reported to Teacher Kaz that he might be away for two months.

Because Senior Byron was also an apprentice of Teacher Kaz, he was not angry because Thor had to temporarily put down his work in the morgue. He just went to the newcomers who entered the Wizard Tower in the past two years and chose someone to temporarily replace Thor’s work.

Now that Thor came back early, he naturally had to take over the work again.

Thor thought that there would be no one in the morgue at this time in the morning, but when he pushed open the scarlet door of the morgue, he saw two figures standing in the middle of the morgue.

Chrom, a newcomer who had just entered the wizard tower for a year, was dancing with a female corpse that was a head taller than him .

The two were dressed neatly and moved in coordination. Although there was no music, they were still very immersed in the dance.

If the woman had not been headless, Thor would not have been able to discover the identity of the other guest.

“Chrom.” He interrupted the beautiful atmosphere.

“Ah, Senior Thor.” Chrom, with red curly hair, stopped dancing. She was not embarrassed at all by being caught, and smiled and greeted Thor.

He asked the female guest to take off her long skirt and lie back on the conveyor belt.

“Is this your witchcraft?” Thor had never seen such witchcraft before, and it didn’t seem like a witchcraft that a first-level apprentice could master.

Chrom scratched his nose like a shy big boy, “Actually, it’s a magic trick, plus a little bit of my talent.”

The gorgeous long skirt fell to the ground and turned into an old bed sheet.

“Talent?” If it was just a magic trick, Thor could do it easily.

But making the corpse obey the command and move so flexibly, it didn’t seem like something that could be done by 1st or 2nd level witchcraft.

“Companion fairy.”

An old and slightly hoarse voice sounded behind them. The two turned their heads and saw Teacher Kaz walking in with his hands behind his back.

“Such a talent is rare. It is said that he was blessed by the fairy when he was born.” Kaz pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled. “Of course, some people say it is a curse.”

Even after hearing the word curse, Chlom’s obedient expression remained unchanged.

Thor was somewhat interested in the companion fairy. “Companion fairy, I seem to have seen it in a book.”

“Companion fairy is a transparent fairy that ordinary people cannot see. It is petite and wanders between reality and fantasy. The weak can only slightly affect reality, while the strong can pull people into the fantasy world.” Chlom took the initiative to explain the meaning of the companion fairy to Thor.

Finally, he stretched out his hand, raised it in front of Thor, and said with a smile: “This is my companion fairy, look, senior Thor, isn’t it cute?”

Looking at the palm of his hand with nothing in front of him and the boy looking at him sincerely, Thor suddenly understood the meaning of the word “green tea”.

Thor’s face remained unchanged, and he closed his eyes for a while and then half opened them.

This time, a green slime monster appeared in the empty palm.

It looked a bit like a slime, but it was not cute at all.

Even though he couldn’t smell anything, Thor felt as if a foul smell from the sewer was drilling into his nose.

Thor leaned back slightly, “You have a unique taste.”

The smile on Chrom’s face disappeared.

At this time, Kaz said, “Okay, since you have been promoted to the second level, let Chrom take over the work here.”

Thor looked at Teacher Kaz in surprise, “Teacher?”

“Come with me.”

Teacher Kaz walked out with his hands behind his back.

Thor turned back and told Chrom, “I’ll get the things later.”

Chrom was not excited at all about successfully grabbing the job.

He stood there blankly, nodded with a pale face, “Okay, Thor… Senior.”

Thor chased out of the morgue and saw Kaz walking towards the depths of the corridor.

Although he was curious about the depths of the corridor, he had never entered it.

Only the big man in charge of cleaning the morgue would push a cart and go into the depths of the corridor.

As the two went deeper and deeper, a darkness that almost became substantial gradually enveloped them.

The pale candlelight could not dispel all the darkness around them.

The corridor behind them gradually became unclear, and a sense of horror that there was no way back arose spontaneously.

“We’re here. This is the first floor of the East Tower.” Instructor Kaz in front finally stopped and said quietly.

The first floor of the East Tower? Thor began to doubt his memory.

Just now… did they go downstairs?

“Stand next to me.”

Thor followed the instructions and took a few steps forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Instructor Kaz.

When he stood still, he was surprised to find that a big door appeared in front of him.

This was a door made of special metal, and it was dark blue. Even one meter away, one could feel the cold air emanating from the door.

A special magic circle with a hexagram as the background was drawn on the door. At first glance, it was very similar to the magic circle on the wall of the sixth floor of the East Tower, but the internal structure was much more complicated.

“You can only open one of the doors when you pass through. If both sides are open, remember to stand still and don’t move until the door is closed again.”

After Kaz finished speaking, he pushed open the right half of the door and walked in with Thor.

The temperature inside the door was several degrees lower than the outside temperature.

What came into view was a corridor about ten meters long, and at the end of the corridor there was a metal door, but it was narrower.

As soon as Thor walked in, goose bumps appeared on his remaining two arms.

He tightened his collar, “Teacher, what is this place?”

“You can think of this as another morgue, but the corpses and materials here are not ordinary.”

The two continued to move forward and pushed open the second metal door, without mentioning any taboos here.

The room behind the metal door was covered with a layer of light white mist.

There were layers of boxes stacked around the room, and these boxes were exactly the same as the boxes used to store materials in all morgues.

Kaz kept walking, “Does it look familiar? Some of these materials are also contributed by you.”

“It’s just that they could have been more, right?”

Kaz glanced at Thor, who turned his head away guiltily.

They passed through the second door and two corridors stretched out in front of them.

“This will be your new workplace. Now you have two choices, one is to work at the exit, and the other is to work at the entrance.”

Kaz told Thor that the entrance would be connected to a third-level apprentice, and the exit would usually be connected to a mentor.

Thor opened his mouth, but his voice got stuck in his throat.

A third-level apprentice? A mentor?

If I remember correctly, he had been a second-level apprentice for less than ten days?
