Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 162

Chapter 162 I Like Your Eyes

Although Mr. Rum didn’t look very happy, he still let Thor leave.

However, not long after Thor left, someone knocked on Rum’s door again.

“Teacher.” It was Nick’s voice.

After permission, Nick came in.

He had a smile on his face, which was completely different from his usual expressionless look.

Rum looked at Nick for a few times and understood his current state. “Has the potion been absorbed almost completely?”

Nick’s smile became brighter. “Yes, teacher, I can feel that my emotions are getting more and more stable now. I don’t have to suppress myself like before.” Unexpectedly,

Rum sighed, “You stayed at level two for a long time, which made me doubt whether this path is really suitable for you.”

“This is the path I chose myself, teacher, don’t worry.” Nick’s expression suddenly changed, and he couldn’t help but start crying.

Rum was not surprised, knowing that this was the ordeal that Nick had to go through for promotion.

Except for some chosen ones, no one can get promoted easily.

In the wizarding world, promotion at every stage is dangerous, but promotion is necessary.

Once you choose to embark on the path of a wizard, you must keep moving forward. Long-term stagnation is also a fatal danger.

Rum’s hand tapped his belly lightly, causing waves.

“I heard that the tower master rescued you halfway and took Thor away?”

Nick calmed down a little, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, “Yes.”

He thought for a moment, and then took the initiative to say: “Byron once said in Chuishu Valley that Thor was the tower master’s student. Although he later explained that it was a temporary fabrication to deceive the enemy, I now think that maybe what Byron said is true.”

Teacher Rum nodded slowly.

He nodded very slightly, because with a nod, his chin would touch the fat on his neck.

“Maybe Thor’s work in the tower was also arranged by the tower master himself. It’s a pity… He was originally very suitable to major in light.”

In this wizard tower, no one can disobey the orders of the tower master Gorza, not even the high-ranking instructors.

Rum suddenly changed the subject, “Have you been to Mofan Town?”

Nick had already registered and submitted this task in the registration office, but did not mention that it was a task completed by Thor for him.

He had selfish motives for this task and just wanted to conceal his role in it as much as possible.

But when Rum asked Nick in person, he was in an unstable state of being promoted. He dared not hide it and could only evade the main point and said: “Before arriving at Mofan Town, I received the news of my father’s death and asked someone to help me complete the task. Now the Mosheng fruit there has been basically destroyed by the invasion of barbarians. I am afraid that they will no longer be able to pay tribute to Mosheng fruit in the future. I have proposed to the registration office to withdraw the protection of Mofan Town.”

“No need to bother.” Rum smiled softly, “Mofan Town has completely disappeared.”

Nick looked up in astonishment, and the surprise on his face could not be concealed at all, and even a little fear.

Rum looked indifferent, “Fortunately, you have already started to be promoted, and you don’t need Mosheng fruit to help you suppress your emotions.”

Nick behaved a little strangely, and he pursed his lips. The muscles at the corners of his mouth kept trembling, and his pupils shrank as small as pinholes.

It was as if he had heard some extremely terrifying news.

Rum suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it on Nick’s head.

“Don’t be so scared, Nick. You are one of my favorite students. Even if you make a small mistake occasionally, I won’t eat you immediately.”

Nick knelt on the ground with a “thump”, wanting to beg for mercy, but his throat was shaking and he couldn’t speak.

Looking at Nick who was so excited, Teacher Rum’s head slowly slid from the top of his body to near his belly, staring at Nick’s forehead that began to ooze sweat.

“Forget about the matter of Mofan Town. You don’t have to worry about Sol either.” Rum’s hand gently stroked Nick’s head. With his movements, strands of brown hair fell to the ground and then melted as if corroded.

“Yes, teacher.” Nick looked up at the hair on the ground, tears couldn’t stop falling.

“Although this is the Gorza Wizard Tower, I am your teacher after all. If you really don’t want to get involved, then just continue to do your research honestly.”

“As a student I value, your position is naturally determined. Don’t always try to please both sides.”

“Yes, yes, teacher…” Nick’s teeth began to tremble, and his voice was choked and unclear.

“Since you are about to be promoted, I will spare you this time. Go to the room opposite and wait until you are calm before leaving.”

“Yes.”

Nick crawled backwards out of the room separated by a curtain.

When he left, all his hair had fallen out, revealing a not very flat bald head.

Rum scratched on his head and returned to the top of his body.

“It doesn’t matter.” As if answering someone’s question, “No movement will make people suspicious. Anyway, Bill is dead, isn’t he? It saves you from having to make another move.”

“Hehehe…”

The laughter echoed in the room, blocked by the heavy curtain, and not a trace of it could be transmitted.

…

Thor, who left Rum’s room, didn’t know what price Nick paid for his little thoughts.

His attention was completely attracted by the conversation of the passing apprentices.

“It is said that the second-level apprentice who took the task of the dead flower last time gave up on his own initiative.”

Two second-level female apprentices stood between the ramps of the twelfth and thirteenth floors and whispered to each other.

Sol, who was pushing the cart, slowed down his pace.

“Is this task difficult?”

“I think it is not difficult to solve the problem, but it is difficult to find the person who caused the problem. After Sari took the task last time, he waited for a few days but did not find any abnormalities. As a result, another servant died in the early morning yesterday.”

The other female apprentice smiled disdainfully, rolled her eyes, and her braids raised their hair like a cobra.

“Lucy, how about we take this task? Since someone has given up the task, the reward points for this task will definitely increase again.”

The apprentice named Lucy was moved by the words, “Okay, then we will go now, don’t let anyone get there first!”

The two hit it off, hand in hand and quickly disappeared at the turn of the ramp.

Sol, who had been moving in small steps for a long time, finally took a step.

“Sure enough, my second dream also happened in reality.”

When passing the twelfth floor, Thor looked inside.

The dead flowers that once stood in the corridor had long been cleared.

“I hope they can solve the culprit behind the scenes. I still want to have a good sleep.”

There are no public classes for second-level apprentices. Of course, if they really want to listen, they can also go to the first-level apprentices’ classes.

After entering the second level, there will be a more obvious gap in everyone’s knowledge field and level. Forcing them to gather together for classes will drag down everyone’s progress.

Therefore, after being promoted to the second level, personal learning is mainly self-study, and they can get guidance from the mentor every few days.

Lest the apprentice go further and further on the wrong path and accidentally blow himself up.

First-level apprentices need to test their learning (or work) progress once a month, and at the second level it becomes once every six months.

It’s just that Thor has just been promoted to the second level, and there is a one-year preparation period before his first test.

For a long time, he doesn’t have to worry about his own test.

So, after adapting to the work in the second warehouse, Thor began his new round of research journey.

There are a lot of materials in the second warehouse, and a small part of them are not marked with any serial numbers. The rulebook states that Thor can use these materials as long as he does not squander them.

The things in the warehouse can only be used by him, and he cannot take them out of the warehouse to other apprentices.

Therefore, although this job is tedious and there is not much time to study and research, it still attracts many people.

Although there is no big man guarding outside the morgue, the three metal doors are not for decoration.

There is a certain connection between them and the communication pen, which can automatically determine which materials are within the scope of the task requirements and which are not.

Once there are materials that are beyond the scope, there is no way to push open the metal door.

At least Thor doesn’t.

After sorting out the materials in the warehouse for two days, Thor received another task from Instructor Kaz.

There are as many as dozens of materials for this task. Fortunately, Thor has already completed half of the search table, otherwise it will be difficult to complete the task on time.

On the way to push the cart out of the warehouse, Thor met a person halfway.

The man was wearing a heavy long cloak like the tower master, and a mask on his face. He came out of the corridor on the left.

“He should be the person in charge of the first warehouse.” Thor stopped where he was, wondering whether he should say hello.

But the other party walked straight past Thor without stopping.

There was no intention of greeting.

Thor laughed at himself.

After a tour of the outside world and having a few friends around him, he almost forgot that the wizard tower was actually a cold place.

However, Thor’s smile had not yet faded when the person in front of him suddenly stopped.

Thor immediately became alert and stopped, and the two kept a distance of two meters between them.

The other party did not turn around, but lowered his head deeply.

As he lowered his head, a crack appeared on the back of his hat.

Under the crack, an ugly woman’s face was revealed.

Just like the most gloomy witch in the animation.

“I like your eyes, can you give them to me?” The woman asked in a hoarse voice.

“Sorry,” Thor’s face turned cold, “I still have a use for them.”
