Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 184

Chapter 184 Temporary Positioning Device

Without worrying about Kong Sha who left the East Tower later than eight o’clock, Thor was very curious about the relationship between Heywood and Kong Sha after hearing their conversation.

One of them was the mysterious Level 3 in charge of the first warehouse, and the other was the most powerful Level 2.

But from what Heywood said, the two of them and Ivan were all abandoned.

Thor held the handrail of the cart tightly, looking at the Whisper of the Elf standing steadily in the bottle, wondering what Kong Sha heard inside.

On the way back, the tree branch once again showed its influence on blurring people’s perception of time. When Thor put the bottle back on the shelf, he thought more than ten minutes had passed, but when he looked back at the hourglass on the wall, he realized that only three minutes had passed.

He retreated to the long table and silently counted in his mind. When he thought a minute had passed and looked up again, only more than 30 seconds had passed.

“After putting the Whisper of the Elf back, I still have problems with my perception of time. However, this cognitive confusion seems to be able to recover slowly, and meditation can greatly speed up the recovery.”

It took Thor about an hour to fully adjust his cognition.

This made him look at the shelves with lingering fear.

“I just moved bottles and transported carts, but my perception of time was blurred. I don’t know what price Kong Sha paid for the listening ceremony. But she didn’t seem to be affected much except for her low mood. Was it because of the locator, or did she have other ways to eliminate the influence?”

This time, although there was no danger, this subtle influence on consciousness was also very dangerous. If the influence of the elves’ whispers on consciousness increased, it might directly drive people crazy in the endlessly stretched timeline.

It was 9:30 in the evening. It was not time to rest yet, and it was not time to relax vigilance.

Sol took out the two locator plans that Kong Sha gave him, and after confirming with the diary that there was no major problem, he began to read them.

After several days of research, he believed that whether it was the soul leaving the body or the problem of his body dissolving, it was related to the abnormality of the spiritual body.

The cause of this abnormality could not be checked yet, but Sol found a solution in the study on the 18th floor.

Although it was only a guess at present. But unlike other wizards and apprentices, Sol could basically rely on thinking to verify the guess, without such a large sunk cost.

Because he has entered the second level, in addition to learning basic knowledge, witchcraft, and writing, Thor is also studying the locator.

I don’t know if the tower master saw that there was something wrong with Thor’s body, so he took him to the library on the 18th floor.

In short, Thor saw a lot of books that were helpful to his current state.

There was some knowledge and incomplete plans about the locator. In addition to the two complete plans he just got from Kong Sha, Thor could start researching the locator.

But unlike others, Thor’s locator was actually on him a long time ago. That was his biggest reliance at present, the Diary of the Dead Wizard.

But although the diary is powerful, it has a well-known flaw, that is, Thor cannot control the diary.

Except when communicating with the consciousness in the black pages of the diary, the diary will run out and float back according to his words, and the diary will not respond to Thor’s request at other times.

The most important thing is that Thor has not found a way to connect with the spiritual body and the diary.

He doesn’t even know where the diary exists in his body and soul.

Therefore, the experiment of the locator was not as smooth as Thor thought at the beginning.

“There’s no rush for this. If a second-level apprentice wants to be promoted to the third level, in addition to meeting the physical and spiritual quality standards, he also needs to select and fuse a locator. A powerful second-level apprentice like Kong Sha seems to have been stuck on the step of fusing the locator for many years.”

“But at the end of May, I will leave the tower to do Lord Gorza’s mission. If my soul suddenly leaves

my body at that time, it will be too dangerous.” Although Thor can now return to his body in just six steps, if he fights with the enemy, the enemy will not give him half a second to recover.

For this reason, Thor temporarily thought of a plan to temporarily stabilize his spirit.

That is a temporary locator.

Temporary locators are also rare and valuable among senior apprentices.

It is equivalent to a supplement to the wizard’s own locator. With a temporary locator, there is a double guarantee for the wizard’s spiritual body and consciousness. It’s like taking a riot shield outside the explosion-proof suit.

Although the protection strength and range are limited, it can also play a certain protective role.

When the spiritual body is shaken or contaminated, it can further help the owner recover.

Having made up his mind, Thor took out the doll that he had rented but not paid for in Mentor Kaz’s laboratory.

After thinking for a while, he placed another red candle on the table.

He looked left and right, and the countless basic knowledge and formulas he had seen in the past two days circled in his mind. Then Thor buried his head in writing various runes on paper.

As he wrote and calculated, more and more materials were brought to the table by Thor.

The yellowed paper was filled up day by day, and more and more complex witchcraft arrays and witchcraft prop production formulas appeared on it.

As the formula deduction took shape, Thor began to imagine in his mind the scene of using the temporary locator he designed.

Then the diary came out again and again to pour cold water on Thor… or pour magma.

More and more papers filled with words piled up in a corner of the table, and after gradually stacking into a small mountain, they collapsed to the ground.

And Thor was still looking for the optimal solution for the temporary locator.

…

A few days later, a small town away from the wizard tower.

Dark clouds were gathering over the town of Samp, and strong winds were howling from time to time. It seemed that a rainstorm would come at any time.

Thor was sitting in an ordinary single-passenger carriage without the mark of the wizard tower.

He was wearing an ordinary coarse cloth shirt and a leather breastplate on his upper body. The most eye-catching arm was wearing a pair of leather gloves.

He didn’t look like a wizard apprentice now, but a mercenary. He

was just a little smaller.

This mission was very special. First, it was personally issued by the tower master Gorza, who reminded Thor twice that it might be dangerous; second, Thor also had his own special purpose.

After entering the town, the carriage slowed down.

Thor tilted his head and observed the scene outside through the curtains that were constantly blown up by the strong wind.

I don’t know if it was because of the coming rainstorm, but the streets of the town seemed extremely deserted.

At this time, the coachman who was driving the carriage outside suddenly turned back and shouted: “Master, the road ahead is blocked.”

This coachman was the same coachman who took Thor to Black Castle Forest last time.

When Thor went directly to the Wizard Tower from Chuishou Valley, the driver who got the news also rushed back a few days later.

This time, when he heard that it was Thor who needed the car, he immediately volunteered. And when leaving the wasteland around the Wizard Tower, he carefully addressed Thor as “Young Master”. He

carefully and implicitly expressed his gratitude to Thor.

Thor pushed open the car door, and a gust of wind blew, forcing him to squint his eyes.

The path ahead was filled with wooden fences and sandbags, and a sign trembling in the wind was hung on the fence, with the words “Danger, Do Not Enter!” written on it in the common language.

“Is there any other way to our destination here?” Thor opened his mouth and his voice was clearly heard by the driver.

The driver was about to answer, but his hat was blown away by a gust of wind that changed direction, revealing a thumb-sized mushroom on his head.

The little mushroom trembled violently under the ravages of the wind, and it seemed that it would be blown away in the next second.

Thor raised his hand, grabbed the driver’s hat, and put it back on the driver’s head.

“Thank you, young master!” The driver, who had no ability to communicate, could only raise his voice in the strong wind. “There is no other way. The manor we are going to is at the end of this road, at the southernmost end of this town.”
