Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 185

Chapter 185 Heavy Rain is Coming

Thor nodded and jumped off the car against the wind.

His collar was blown open a little by the wind, revealing a thumb-sized pocket wooden sculpture tied with a black rope on his neck.

The black rope was not long, and the doll fit tightly between the collarbones. Even though Thor had just jumped, it did not shake.

Looking closely, there was a wooden thorn on the back of the sculpture, which was deeply piercing Thor’s skin.

This was the temporary positioning device that Thor had rushed out before he set out.

It can last for three months.

There is basically no need to worry about the soul leaving the body.

“You go back and find a hotel to rest. I will walk by myself from here.”

The driver hesitated and asked carefully, “Master, please let me wait for you here.”

The wind was blowing hard, and it was unknown how heavy the rain would fall soon. Even Thor did not know how long it would take him to come back.

Even so, the driver still hoped to wait where he was.

Thor did not force him, “You are welcome. If you stop by the road, hide in the carriage, don’t sit outside in the rain.”

The driver bent down deeply, “Please be careful, young master!”

Leaving the driver behind, Thor approached the blocked path in the strong wind.

He observed for a while and determined that this place must have been blocked layer by layer, so that the entire path was tightly blocked.

He walked to a shabby hut next to him and knocked on the door.

After a long time, an old man with tattered clothes and blurred eyes opened the door a little.

“What’s the matter?” The old man’s voice was also swallowed by the strong wind.

Thor reached out to hold the door, “Hello, old lady. I haven’t been here for many years. Why is this road blocked?”

The old woman heard Thor’s words clearly, but she didn’t realize that it was the work of witchcraft.

When she saw that Thor was asking about the path, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her turbid eyes.

“You can’t go in there. Anyone who goes in is either dead or crazy!”

It sounds dangerous, but it also shows that this is Thor’s destination.

“But I have friends living here. Are they all dead?”

The old woman looked up at Sol in surprise. Seeing his simple clothes, she hesitated for a moment before saying, “The people living here are not dead but have moved away. I am an old woman who cannot walk, so I stay here. Young man, listen to my advice. No matter whether your friend is still alive or not, don’t look for him. Go back to where you came from.”

Sol was unwilling to give up and asked again, “Old lady, do you know what happened?”

But the old woman didn’t want to answer his question and even wanted to shrink back into the door.

Seeing this, Sol spread his hand and showed a silver coin.

The old man was startled and stopped trying to close the door.

She stared at the silver coin and said tremblingly, “I only know that the place where people died first was Ralph Manor at the end of the road. The name has been changed several times, and now it is called Ralph Manor again.”

The old man still advised Thor, “Don’t go there, and don’t ask about it. It’s too dangerous!”

“Ralph…” Thor murmured, “Is there no one in charge?”

This is the territory of the wizard tower after all. If it is reported, it will be considered an outing mission for a third-level apprentice.

Unexpectedly, the old man just shook his head.

Thor asked a few more questions, most of which the old man could not answer.

Finally, he stuffed the silver coin in his hand into the old man’s hand and turned away.

Seeing that Thor still climbed over the fence and walked inside, the old man closed the door with a worried look on his face… Then, he opened his mouth wide and showed a twisted smile of excitement.

She proudly wiped and kissed the silver coin again and again, and finally carefully put it into an inconspicuous ceramic jar.

In the jar, there was already a thick pile of copper coins, silver coins, and even a few gold coins.

After doing all this, the old man turned back to a sad expression, sat on a small stool, and waited for the next passerby to ask.

…

Ralph is Sid’s grandfather.

And Sid is the first mortal enemy that Thor encountered after coming to this world.

Most importantly, Sid knew that the Diary of the Dead Wizard was in Thor’s possession.

At the beginning, Thor used the diary to learn from Sid’s remaining consciousness that the Diary of the Dead Wizard was passed down by their ancestors of the Bloodthorn family.

But no one has been able to unlock the secret of the diary and become its true owner.

For this reason, Sid’s grandfather tried many methods and even went crazy for a long time.

According to Sid, when he entered the wizard tower, everyone in his family had been killed by his grandfather. Even his grandfather died later.

But there is a question here, how did Sid escape and enter the wizard tower where the diary is.

“The tower master asked me to come here to solve the trouble, which may be related to Sid and his family. Are there other survivors in their family? Or are there evil spirits with some consciousness left? The most important thing is, does anyone know the existence of the diary?”

When mentioning the diary, Thor was a little nervous.

“Solve the remaining troubles two years ago… Why wait for these two years, is it to wait for me to enter the second level?”

Then the enemy’s strength is at least above the average second-level apprentice.

Thor frowned as it was about his most important secret.

In fact, after Sid’s death, Thor planned to go to his family’s old site to find the secret of the diary. But he was only level one at that time, and he had no qualifications or ability to leave the tower, so this matter could only be put aside.

Unexpectedly, he was assigned here by the tower master in advance.

So the “leftover trouble” must be related to Sid, and the strange incident in the town of Samp may also be related to that trouble.

On this trip, Thor deliberately hid the eye-catching features of the wizard tower apprentice and changed into the clothes of an ordinary mercenary.

But on this deserted street, his appearance was still a bit conspicuous.

Another gust of wind whistled past, taking away a broken branch on the ground.

When the branch fell to the ground again, Thor had disappeared.

When Thor came to the end of the path, the dark clouds in the sky became heavier. It was clearly daytime, but it was as dark as dusk.

A magnificent manor appeared in front of Thor.

Even though the gate was covered with traces of wind and rain corrosion, the wall was peeling off, and there were broken stones and dead branches on the ground, it could not cover up the former splendor of this place.

Beyond the high wall, the roof of the castle could be seen from afar.

Just as Thor was considering whether to push the door in or climb over the wall, he suddenly felt someone was watching him.

Thor did not hesitate and turned to chase.

Halfway through the run, he suddenly squatted down and stood up again, picked up a stone and threw it out.

“Ouch!” A boy cried out in pain.

Thor was about to catch him when suddenly a small fireball flew rapidly from a distance.

Thor quickly dodged, but the small fireball exploded in mid-air and turned into countless small sparks, covering all the directions he could dodge.

There was nowhere to hide, so he didn’t hide.

A transparent big hand suddenly appeared in front of him and slapped the small sparks fiercely.

Most of the aggressive small sparks were instantly extinguished, and the remaining few could no longer hurt Thor.

“Huh?” Another elderly voice came from behind the house on Thor’s left.

Thor turned his head and saw a white-haired old man with a wooden stick walking out from behind the corner and looking at him in surprise.

“You can cast 0-level magic instantly. Not bad. You have been promoted to a second-level apprentice, right?” Although the other party was old, he looked very agile.

Judging from the magic fluctuations just now, the white-haired old man looked like an ordinary third-level apprentice. Unless he deliberately concealed his strength.
