Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 178

Chapter 178 The Gift of Knowledge

There is no point complaining to these corpses.

Sol did not violate the prohibition, and these corpses could not hurt him, but if Sol violated the prohibition, these corpses would not let him go.

After working on the corpses until midnight, Sol went to report to Kaz the next morning.

Sol briefly skipped the private transaction, only mentioning that after he accidentally pushed open two doors, the senior student beside him was grabbed by the noodle-like arms and has not come out yet.

Sure enough, Teacher Kaz did not ask about the details of the incident, but only said lightly, “I know.”

Two days later, Sol took the two books he borrowed about evil spirits and came to the library on the tenth floor of the East Tower.

Of the two books he found, only the first one recorded a story about nightmare butterflies. The relevant information is still ambiguous. Sol has almost no other gains except the two points that nightmare butterflies are terrible and can blur people’s cognition and can be captured.

Moreover, the identity of the third narrator in the story is also very suspicious. I don’t know who he is.

Was it a third person who watched the tragedy happen all the way… or was it the nightmare butterfly?

Because there were no other clues, Thor could only temporarily strengthen the seal of the nightmare butterfly cocoon and dared not continue the research. He

was afraid that the cocoon would run back into his eyes one day.

When he solved the problem of his body, it would not be too late to invite Diary to study the cocoon of the nightmare butterfly together.

Thinking back to the present, Thor stepped into the library.

It was very lively here today, and many apprentices were wandering between the bookshelves in the front row.

The arrogant young administrator was still in charge of registration.

Thor walked over directly, “Hello, administrator, I am here to return these two books.”

The young man turned his head with a pout, and when he saw that it was Thor, his expression changed and he seemed a little nervous, “Oh, then just give me the books.”

Hearing the young man’s words, Thor was a little surprised. In the past, when they returned the books, they would register with the administrator and put them back to their original place.

If they didn’t put them back to their original place, the administrator would raise the price sharply when the apprentice borrowed the books next time.

That price would definitely be a bloody lesson for any apprentice.

But today… why is the process different?

Thor didn’t understand why the young administrator was a little abnormal today, but with so many apprentices around him, he still handed over the book in his hand obediently.

In this regard, he has always been very obedient.

“Do you want to borrow more books today?” Unexpectedly, after the young man took the book, he was stunned for a while, and just when Thor was about to leave, he suddenly called him.

Thor originally had no plan to borrow books, but the other party asked so enthusiastically and politely, so he still answered cautiously, “I don’t have many magic crystals recently.”

Although he just made 500 – after all, the candle did end up in Ferguson’s hands, so this transaction with frequent accidents was still reached.

But money is never enough to spend, and prices are rising in sync with the improvement of strength.

It is said that the experimental materials commonly used by formal wizards are astronomical in value, so they generally do not buy materials, but often make them themselves.

“Ahem, there are some damaged soul books that need to be dealt with recently. I remember that you are very interested in books on this subject. Do you want to consider taking over?”

“Can you buy books in the library?” Thor suddenly became interested.

Because the unknown usually contains dangers in the wizarding world, places like the library are actually very unsafe.

If all the books were open to the public, nine out of ten apprentices in the wizard tower would probably go crazy.

But if he could really buy books at a low price, Thor would still be willing to take risks for useful knowledge. After all

, before he opened the cover of the book, he could determine whether the book was dangerous to him.

“Yes, because they are damaged and dirty books, we will sell them to suitable apprentices at a low price after confirming that they are not contaminated.”

Thor still felt a little strange, “But I have been in the wizard tower for two years, and I have never heard of…”

“Do you think it is easy to tidy up the library? It’s good enough to tidy it up once every two years.” The young man glared, looking like he was about to get angry.

Seeing that the young man had returned to his previous irritability, Thor was slightly relieved.

“Then please take me to see it.”

The young man raised his chin, “Go to the bookshelf in the eighth row of the first row

. There are all the books that are ready to be disposed of.” Thor looked around and didn’t find anything unusual. He glanced at the diary on his shoulder and didn’t see anything unusual. He then walked towards the first row of bookshelves.

“This is the eighth row.”

Thor walked to the destination and found that there was no one nearby.

“It will only be recommended to the right people, so not many people know about this news, right?” Thor muttered to himself as he approached the bookshelf.

There were only a few books on this bookshelf, placed in a messy manner.

These books were basically low-level books, without any protective seals on them. Thor could see the covers of all the books at a glance.

There was actually a book that Thor had borrowed when he was at level one.

He turned to the other books, and sure enough, two of them were related to the soul.

Just as Thor was about to go forward and take a closer look, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Thor next to the bookshelf.

It was the elderly administrator.

He put his hands behind his back and walked past the two books that Thor liked.

“The two books “The Book of the Void” and “Teaching You to Hide in the Cracks”, one is missing the second half, and the other is stained in the middle and cannot be repaired. Although the content cannot be repaired, it can also provide some scattered knowledge.”

The elderly administrator put his hands behind his back, turned slowly, and there was a smile on his face.

“A book costs 300 magic crystals or 29 credits. If you want all of them, you can get them for 560 magic crystals or 54 credits.”

Is there a discount for buying more?

Thor stepped forward and said, “Can I see what’s inside?”

In the past, you could also flip through the first few pages when borrowing books from the library.

But the old man shook his head.

“No! We handle books and don’t support inspection. If you want them, buy them. If you don’t want them, put them down.”

This is a bit unreasonable.

Whether it is credits or magic crystals, it is not a small amount for Thor.

Thor is a bit embarrassed.

But the names of these two books are very attractive to him.

Especially the second one, which always reminds Thor of the black shadows that jumped and ran and hid in the gaps between the stone bricks before the tower master appeared.

“I want all of them, and pay with credits!” Thor gritted his teeth and took them all.

He didn’t have many magic crystals, but he still had some credits. Senior Wright cashed the IOU as soon as he returned to the wizard tower. So Thor saved more than a hundred credits a few days ago.

However, these days, with experiments and borrowing books, his assets quickly dropped below 100.

If he buys these two books this time, his credits will drop to 30.

But for wizards, knowledge is the foundation, so even if it hurts, Thor still insists on buying these two books.

Others who buy such incomplete books may worry about taking the wrong research path due to lack of key knowledge.

But Thor has the Diary of a Dead Wizard, which can correct his mistakes at any time. The worst result is that he can’t find the right path, and he won’t die because of a wrong understanding.

Hearing Thor’s choice, the old administrator smiled even more.

“Okay, then take these two books and go to check out.”

After saying that, the old man’s figure suddenly disappeared, and only the afterword echoed in Thor’s ears.

“Are you really here to sell? Do they get commissions for selling books?”

Thor didn’t understand, and stepped forward to take the two books.

Suddenly!

A hand wrapped in pink bandages took out the “Ethereal Book” from Thor’s hand.

Thor looked up and saw the tower master who was hiding in a brown-red cloak.

“Tower Master?”

Gorza held the book’s spine in his hand and looked at it for a few seconds. He snorted and threw the “Ethereal Book” back onto the bookshelf.

The book, which was less than one centimeter thick, fell heavily on the bookshelf with a “bang” sound, and even the bookshelf’s partition shook twice.

It seemed that what fell on it was not a book, but a person.

I have to go home now. The second update today will probably be in the evening.

I will try to write some on the train~

Also, I would like to ask for monthly tickets. I still need more than 170 to 1,000. It may be too late, but I will still try my best!
