Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 174

Chapter 174: High-quality imitations force the original manufacturer to death

death. Do it right away.

Thor made a fourth wound on himself and collected some blood and muscle tissue.

Then he prepared the basic materials for making candles, added the juice of the companion flower, flesh and blood, and a little bit of the cut candle, and remade a complete new candle.

The appearance of this candle is similar to the candle on the candlestick, but because of the addition of flesh and blood, the candle has changed from white to red.

“I have tried my best to dilute it, but it is still so red. Should I extract serum or other colorless tissues?”

Although the color of the first finished product was wrong, Thor also planned to try it first.

He fixed the candle on the table and threw a small ball of flame at the candle wick.

But after the small flame floated over the candle wick, it failed to ignite it.

“Is there something wrong with the material of the candle, affecting its flammability? Wait!”

Thor took out the lighter again, stood up and walked away for a distance, and aimed the nozzle at the candle wick.

“Chi!”

This time, the red candle was successfully ignited, and the candle wick burned with a pale flame!

“It’s exactly the same as the flame on the candlestick?” Thor carefully compared it with the candlelight above his head and smiled in surprise.

“It worked in one go? Am I such a genius?”

After a brief moment of joy, Thor calmed himself down.

“After all, the main ingredients are substitutes, and the accompanying flower juice does not meet the requirements, so the actual effect may be much worse…”

Suddenly, Thor shuddered, and goose bumps all over his body burst out as if they had their own consciousness.

He turned around in horror and saw that the shelves behind him were full of people!

They were all the corpses outside!

These guys didn’t know when they moved behind Thor. Some of them squeezed into the corridor between the shelves, and some did not squeeze into the corridor, so they could only stand behind the shelves and “watch” Thor through the gaps between the goods.

But Thor intuitively felt that they were watching the candle in his hand.

It was just a moment of distraction, and the group of corpses seemed to be closer to him.

Thor made a prompt decision and picked up the knife on the table to extinguish the candle flame.

As a puff of green smoke rose from the burnt candle core, the weird feeling of being pricked in the back gradually disappeared.

Thor looked back again and keenly noticed that the corpses were getting closer to him.

Although they were still expressionless and their eyes were closed, Thor could sense a sense of disappointment from them.

In the past, although Thor was sure that they did have some consciousness, he had never seen them move on their own initiative.

Unexpectedly, they were exposed because of the red candle.

Thor looked at the candle in his hand and thought to himself, “Could I have made something extraordinary?”

“What is it???”

A female voice suddenly sounded above Thor’s head.

He looked up and saw a black shadow gradually emerging from the roof, gradually extending from the sticky water droplet shape to the figure of a woman.

Finally, the black shadow completely broke free from the roof and fell to the ground, almost overlapping with Thor when it landed.

“Mrs. Youla?”

“Don’t call me Youla, call me Winnie!” The black shadow said unhappily, but she quickly skipped over the matter and sniffed left and right with her face that couldn’t see the facial features clearly, “Where is the smell just now?”

Smell?

Thor looked down at the red candle beside him, and he didn’t smell anything.

The shadow immediately noticed that Thor’s gaze had shifted, and followed his gaze, seeing a red candle.

“This… was made by you?”

Winnie’s shadow moved closer, she squatted down, folded her hands on the table, and let herself look at the candle level.

“I feel that its smell is calming.” The shadow seemed to make a gesture of looking up, “Can you light it again?”

“Calming?”

Strange, Thor did not add anything to soothe the soul’s emotions.

Even the companion flower juice that the white candle may have originally stabilized the spirit body was diluted several times by Thor.

Logically speaking, the effect should not be as good as the original candle.

But Winnie did not react to the other lit candles in the warehouse.

“Winnie, these guys will rush up if I light the candles.”

Thor pointed at the group of corpses still “wandering” beside the shelves behind him.

The black shadow looked back and said nonchalantly: “It doesn’t matter, they just come here because they feel comfortable. As long as you don’t break the taboo, they won’t hurt you. Hurry up, hurry up…”

Hearing Winnie’s assurance, Thor picked up the lamp lighter and relit the red candle.

A ray of white light lit up dimly.

The warehouse became quiet.

The living and the dead stared at the candlelight in a daze.

Thor didn’t smell anything, nor did he feel very calm. He looked around and found that the group of corpses didn’t get closer, but each of them faced the red candle, with less gloom on their faces and more intoxicated.

“We can’t let them know that the raw material is part of my blood.” Thor raised his hand and pressed it on the wound covered by his sleeve with some uneasiness. “They didn’t react to my wound, but they were very concerned about Hong Zhu. This should be some kind of witchcraft reaction that caused a qualitative change.”

“But why can my blood cause this effect? My left eye can heal automatically. Is it also related to this change in the body?”

The change related to the whole body in Thor’s memory was the experience of his whole body melting unconsciously after defeating the evil spirit Morton.

This was also told to him by Senior Byron afterwards. Otherwise, Thor himself would not have known anything about the melting.

Later, when Senior Byron examined him, he did not find the reason for the body’s fusion and recovery. At that time, there might be pursuers behind the sailboat, so this matter could only be put aside for the time being.

Back to the wizard tower, Thor did not find any abnormality in his body, but now it seems that the experience still had a great impact on him. It’s just that it is not known whether it is good or bad, and whether there are other disadvantages.

Thor was worried about the changes in his body, but Winnie was obsessed with looking at Hong Zhu, and even sat on the ground, with his arms on the table and his head resting on his arms.

He looked like he was about to fall asleep.

“Why can you make such candles, but Gorza can only make smelly white wax? I said, he doesn’t understand the soul at all.”

Faced with Winnie’s complaints about the tower master, Thor could only touch his nose and pretend that he didn’t hear anything.

But Winnie continued, even introducing Gorza’s life.

“Not long after Gorza built the Wizard Tower, the situation in the Western Continent was complicated. People who ran away from the No Man’s Land established the Baidong Academy on the coast. They ignored the Western Treaty with their backs to the sea and always secretly bullied the Principality of Kerma, wanting to further expand the territory of their academy…”

In order to lose the territory and avoid the tragic ending of the country’s destruction, the king of Kerma at that time sent people to inquire about the background of the wizards who had just entered the Western Continent, hoping to find a reliable force to form an alliance.

Who would have thought that as soon as the news was released, the newly moved wizard tower master Gorza came to the door and took the initiative to ask for an alliance.

At that time, many forces settled in the Western Continent. Gorza settled alone, but divided up a considerable piece of territory.

It is said that his family is quite powerful in another continent, so the forces that settled in the Western Continent together did not dare to take the initiative to fight with him.

“The people of the Kema Empire must have been deceived by him back then.” Winnie tilted her head, with a little indignation in her tone, “Gorza must have been exiled by his family. For so many years, no one from other forces has ever looked for him. He felt guilty, so he sought an alliance with Kema.”

“So that’s why the tower master married Lady Euler at that time?”

“…That’s not the case.”

The King of Kema, who had been demoted to a principality, took the initiative to lower his profile in order to form an alliance with Gorza, who seemed to have a very powerful background.

In addition to providing supplies to the Wizard Tower every year, they also wanted to conduct the most common marriage between nobles.

But Gorza refused the marriage and asked the principality to send someone to help him manage the territory, as long as the tribute was paid on time every year.

Thor was a little surprised, but then he felt that it was something the tower master could do.

If Gorza was really alone when he came to the western region, he would definitely not have the energy and mind to deal with any internal affairs of the territory.

But Thor didn’t expect that he would not even want to find an agent and directly return a large area of territory to the original owner.

The Principality of Kema must be very happy.

Even if he is only in charge of a part of the territory, the income can help the Principality of Kma recover.

“How did Lady Youla marry the tower master?” Thor was not really gossiping, but Lady Youla’s death was obviously related to Gorza’s real purpose.

Was it a study to resurrect a lover, or an experiment to fight pollution?

Only by clarifying the content and purpose of the research can the process of the experiment be correctly planned.

“At that time, Youla was already a first-level formal wizard, majoring in dark attribute elements and obsessed with soul research.” Winnie’s face was always facing the direction of the red candle, as if fascinated, “and Gorza majored in light attributes. As soon as they met, they quarreled over a topic.”

Thor immediately pricked up his ears, “What topic?”

“Can the soul… exist independently of the body?”
