Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 188

Chapter 188 Human Figure

Thor cast a light spell to illuminate the deep pit.

At first glance, there were only some weeds, roots and stone clods in the pit.

But after careful observation, Thor found some tiny black crystals in the soil. These crystals looked like stones. If he hadn’t observed carefully, he would have overlooked them.

“This is a fragment of the consumed magic crystal.” Thor picked up a fragment that was no bigger than the tip of his little finger and held it up to Victor. “Someone has indeed used this manor to set up a witchcraft array, but his array is set underground. Unless we turn over this entire piece of soil, we can’t restore the original appearance of the array, and we have no way of knowing the specific purpose of the array.”

Victor took the fragment from Thor’s hand, gently pinched his thumb and index finger, and the fragment turned into a finer black powder, which floated away with the wind.

“This pit is not very deep. It’s enough to bury an ordinary person, but it’s too shallow to be used for sealing… I guess this magic circle should be used for enhancement or temporary storage.”

Thor nodded, “I think so too, so the person lying in this pit is likely to be the beneficiary of the magic circle.”

“But now the pit is empty.” Victor looked at Thor, “Could it be that the person inside came out?”

Thor threw away another fragment in his hand, stood up, and patted his knees, “It may be useless, or someone dug it out and ate it. “

Victor stroked his strings worriedly, “We may have another enemy competing for the treasure.”

He stretched out his hand to pull Thor up, but gave up when he saw the dirt on the other’s hand.

“Don’t worry, no matter how many enemies there are, brother will definitely help you grab the treasure and let you successfully advance to level three!”

Thor looked at the other’s hand that was stretched out and then retracted, sighed helplessly, and jumped out of the pit by himself.

However, while patting the dirt on his hands, he seemed to say nonchalantly: “What are you talking about? Do you need treasures for a genius like me? Let’s advance to level three first. You are almost thirty years old, don’t let it be polluted one day.”

The person in front of him did not respond for a long time. Occasionally, he looked up strangely and found that Victor actually freed one hand to cover his mouth, with a line of tears flowing from the corner of his eyes.

“Wow… Sol actually thought about me so much, brother is so touched.”

Sol looked at Victor and got goose bumps.

How could he have such a brother?

“Thank you, Sol. But brother is a mediocre person waiting for death in his destiny, so don’t waste the treasure.”

The strong wind that was raging just now suddenly stopped, and the sky became more and more dim, as if it had come from dusk to late night.

Victor looked up at the sky, his expression hidden in a drowsy look.

“The heavy rain is about to fall, let’s go into the house to hide.”

As he spoke, Victor gently plucked a string, and the bass was still ethereal and pleasant.

Thor was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, “Okay, I don’t think there’s anything outside.”

The two walked through the garden and came straight to the castle gate. Strangely, the gate here was actually opened a little.

“It seems that many people have been here before us.”

Thor turned around and pointed at Victor’s harp, motioning him to keep quiet, then turned around and pushed the door open.

The front hall of the castle was very dark, with some lamp stands, chairs and other furniture lying on the ground.

There seemed to be windows in the hall, but they were completely blocked by heavy curtains.

Thor looked around carefully, but did not see a figure or a corpse, nor did he feel that anyone was peeping at him.

He then gestured to the person behind him and walked into the castle.

Victor almost followed Thor’s footprints that had not disappeared.

The next second after the two stepped into the hall, the sky suddenly flashed, and when the extremely white light shone through the gate and the window hidden by the velvet long skirt, Thor seemed to see a person kneeling with his back to them in the middle of the hall.

The man was wearing armor and seemed to be a warrior.

But when the lightning passed and a huge thunder roared, the figure in the front hall disappeared.

“Hualala–“

Heavy rain poured down.

Victor jumped forward to avoid the splashing raindrops.

He touched the harp in his arms with lingering fear, “Almost.”

At this time, he found that Thor was still standing in front of him in a daze. He walked around curiously and waved his hand in front of Thor, “My unfortunate brother, are you petrified?”

Thor came to his senses and pushed away Victor’s big hand that blocked his view, “I just saw a person kneeling in front of me.”

“Hmm?” Victor looked over in confusion, but saw nothing. However, this did not stop him from sighing, “Maybe it’s a ghost lingering in the castle, with no way to escape. I beg you to take him away from this fate.”

As he spoke, Victor’s fingers touched the strings again.

But he immediately remembered Thor’s warning and tried hard not to let the harp make any sound.

“Ask me for help?” Thor pouted, “I’m here to steal things. He found the wrong person.”

Thor walked forward carefully, came to the vicinity of the figure he had just seen, squinted his eyes, and used semi-immersion meditation to look over again.

But there was still nothing on the ground.

“Has it left, or is it not a spirit?” Thor’s expression became serious, and he was about to turn back to warn Victor to be more cautious.

However, at this time, another huge lightning flashed across.

Even standing in the house, Thor could see the sky that was as bright as day.

He immediately lowered his head and looked over again, and was shocked to see countless figures kneeling in the front hall!

Even at his feet and where Victor was, there was a person kneeling!

“Shock!” When Thor lowered his head, he happened to see a face.

The face had no eyes, no nose, no ears, only a mouth wide open, and the scar at the corner of the mouth was twisted and trembling, as if asking for help.

But the next second, with the sound of thunder, all the people kneeling in the hall disappeared.

“Bang!” The door was pushed open, and two people jumped in as if escaping.

“There’s something wrong with the rain!” One of the short men was desperately grabbing his wet cheeks and neck, and his fingertips were already stained red.

The other figure was taller, and Thor saw that it was a white-haired old man.

The old man chanted a spell to clean the rain off his body, and then cleaned up the little boy next to him.

Victor stood not far from the two of them, smiling, as if waiting for them to find him.

“Who?” The white-haired old man finally found Victor a few steps away, grabbed the boy’s collar, and retreated to the other side of the front hall.

Victor did not take any action, but walked behind Thor with a playful look on his face.

“Who are you?” The old man saw Thor in the middle of the hall, and his eyes were more alert.

“I’m here to take shelter from the rain, too.” Thor looked at the old man with the same alertness.

The little boy was inconspicuous, but now his face was covered in blood and he was grimacing in pain.

The white-haired old man was not ordinary. The magic fluctuations he emitted when he cast the spell just now seemed to be strong enough for a third-level apprentice.

The white-haired old man frowned after hearing Thor’s nonsense, but did not expose Thor.

His eyes wandered between Thor and Victor for several times, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

“Oh, it seems that we have the same goal. But you are luckier than us and didn’t get caught in the rain.”

He walked to the window as if relaxed, lifted the curtains and looked outside.

“There’s something wrong with this rain. It’s itchy and painful when it hits my body.” The white-haired old man lowered the curtains

, “But it’s normal. This is Ralph Manor, not a good place to take shelter from the rain.” “But since we’re here, we have to wait for the rain to stop before we can go out.” Thor nodded to the old man, “Then please rest here, we’ll go inside.”

He pulled Victor, who was staring at the opposite side with interest, and prepared to pass through the front hall and continue to go deeper into the castle.

The old man was probably a third-level apprentice, while Thor and Victor were both second-level, so it would be easy for them to suffer against the old man.

Seeing that Thor was about to leave, the other party did not say anything to stop him, but just watched silently.

Instead, the little boy tugged at the old man’s sleeve anxiously.

“Teacher, should we let them go in first?”

The white-haired wizard held him down, “Don’t worry, Swan, let them take a look around first.”
