Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 186

Chapter 186 Ralph Manor

Since the other party stopped attacking and walked out of the dark, Thor also relaxed a little on the surface, “Who are you? Are you the official wizards here?”

“Ahem!” The white-haired old man coughed twice in embarrassment, “How is it possible? I am only a third-level… wandering wizard. My name is Kron. This is my apprentice, Swan, who just reached the first level.”

Third level? That means a third-level apprentice, not a third-level official wizard.

But the other party said something about wandering wizards later. Although this title can also be used to refer to all wizards and wizard apprentices, Thor always felt that the other party was deliberately blurring their identities.

At this time, Swan, the boy who was injured by Thor with a small stone, limped to the side of the old wizard apprentice and stared at Thor with an indignant look.

The boy looked only eleven or twelve years old, a little younger than Thor.

The other party’s calf pants had a hole and there was a scratch on his skin.

Thor smiled at Swan, “Sorry, I’m a coward. If someone is watching me secretly, I will attack first.”

Swan glared and was about to speak, but was stopped by his teacher.

“Swan is only a level one wizard, you don’t have to apologize to him. If you don’t kill him, you are showing mercy to him.”

As soon as these words came out, Swan’s face suddenly looked a little aggrieved.

The atmosphere finally eased a little. The third-level apprentice Kron, who was not young, pointed to the manor not far away.

“Are you here to try your luck too?”

“Try your luck?” Thor asked back.

“Ralph Manor.” Kron pointed to the weathered manor behind him, “Once a wealthy businessman from another place was deceived into buying this manor. But he didn’t know that a long-standing wizard family once lived here.”

“The wealthy businessman went out to do business, and his family and all his servants disappeared overnight. And this manor has become the most terrifying legend in the town of Sam.”

“It is indeed seeking death for an ordinary person to live in a wizard’s residence. But it is impossible for him not to inquire before buying this house… I think someone deliberately concealed the truth.” Thor pondered for a moment and said slowly.

Kron’s eyes lit up, “I thought so too. Over the past two years, the rich businessman has spent a lot of money to let adventurers enter the manor and help him transport the property hidden inside. But after those people entered the manor, none of them came out alive. Half a month ago, he even persuaded a noble here to send a team of knights in…”

Thor suddenly interrupted him, “The rich businessman has been looking for people to enter the manor for the past two years? He wouldn’t have known that this was once the residence of wizards for so many years, right?”

Kron shrugged, “Of course he knows, but the things in the manor are too important to him, so he made money while hiring people. Later, no one was willing to take risks, so he found more powerful knights. But that group of knights never came out after entering.”

Thor narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was wrong.

A rich businessman, no matter how rich he is, can’t afford such waste, right?

And what could have been in the manor that made him persist for two years without giving up?

Thor looked up at Kron, who was smiling, and Swan, who was pouting. “Were you also invited by the rich businessman?”

Swan muttered, “An ordinary person, who has at most a little money, how could he possibly hire a teacher?”

Kron said, “It’s considered a cooperation. He told me what happened in the past two years and the layout of the manor, and I helped him bring something out of the manor.”

“You told me this…” Thor frowned.

“You… are an apprentice of the wizard tower?” Kron laughed and revealed Thor’s identity.

Swan looked at his teacher in disbelief, and then stole a glance at Thor fearfully, without any dissatisfaction on his face.

Thor neither admitted nor denied it.

Seeing that Thor didn’t speak, Kron didn’t ask any more questions.

“I think you have guessed it. I want to invite you to cooperate and enter the manor together.”

“Dakesi, oh, that tycoon who was cheated has also found many powerful people to enter the manor in the past two years, and there is even a first-level apprentice inside. But these people are trapped in the manor and can’t get out. Not only that, even the residents living outside the manor have been affected.”

“I analyzed the strange phenomena hidden in it. After two years of fermentation, it has become more dangerous. This also means that the extinct Bloodthorn family must have something related to witchcraft left.”

“The most important thing is the secret hidden in this manor. However, the extinct Bloodthorn family also gave birth to a formal wizard. There must be unpredictable dangers hidden in the manor. So I suggest that everyone work together, it will be safer.”

Listening to Kron’s introduction, Thor turned back through the broken wall and observed the scene in the manor.

The whole manor was shrouded in deep dark clouds, and even the wind here seemed to be stronger than outside.

Suddenly, Thor thought he heard something. He pricked up his ears and waited for a while, but could only feel the whistling wind.

Kron was still waiting for his answer.

“We can cooperate, but I suggest that we go into the manor separately. This place is not small. If we all act together, the efficiency will be very low.”

Kron frowned. If we don’t act together, what is cooperation?

Thor smiled and said, “Through the wall, you can see the tallest building in this manor. That should be the castle where the owner of the manor lives. Normally, the most important things in the manor are placed there. But just in case, we have to explore the surroundings. We enter from different places and explore the surrounding areas. If we feel it is dangerous, we can stay in the dark. After an hour, we will meet in front of the castle gate to share information and decide whether to go directly to the main building or go to other places to check.”

Thor’s suggestion to check the surroundings was not a whim. Through the wall, he felt that the layout of the manor seemed to contain some rules of witchcraft arrays, but he couldn’t analyze it for a while because of the long time and serious damage.

Out of caution, he wanted to figure out the layout of the entire manor first. If the characteristics and rules of this magic circle can be analyzed, perhaps the secret of the manor can be unearthed without much effort.

Seeing that Thor had taken the initiative in the conversation, the little boy Siswan looked at his teacher nervously.

This time, Kron did not hesitate for long and agreed to Thor’s proposal.

“Okay, although according to the information I have obtained, the wealth of this manor is in the castle, but what you said makes sense. Wizards cannot only focus on the danger in front of them, and it is also important to analyze the situation around them. So…”

“Shall we act now?”

“Now?” Kron was a little surprised.

During the conversation between the two, Thor heard something again, but when he listened carefully, the sound disappeared again.

Thor checked his condition. The magic power fluctuations were stable, the spirit body was also stable, and the diary was still pretending to sleep.

The sound just now should not be his hallucination.

This made Thor more curious about Ralph Manor and more vigilant.

“Since you have decided to go in, of course you should act now. Are you waiting for someone?”
