Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 193

Chapter 193 I fainted, I was pretending

Victor, who was pretending, held his chin up like Thor. “That is to say, what we have seen is always an illusion. Before and after death, we keep meeting each other in the wheel of fate. It is a sad encounter.”

Victor walked back and forth on the steps of the stairs, gently shaking the harp, as if immersed in the music and poetry he wove himself.

“When our spiritual fluctuations are in sync with the spirits here because of the spirit force field, we will see sunny days. But when we lose sync, we will return to rainy days. Hiss–“

Victor stopped, leaned against the handrail of the stairs, and suddenly leaned back. His upper body was stuck almost 90 degrees outside the stairs, looking at the spiraling stairs and the distant roof.

“I really like this kind of romantic story.”

He straightened his waist again and stood up effortlessly. He turned his head to the right and looked at Thor. “But didn’t you talk to the knight who disappeared for half a month? If you saw the scene of the past, how could you join in? Could it be that those knights also met the same wizard as you at that time and said the same thing?”

“This is also where I was misled at the beginning and thought I was traveling through time.” Thor’s eyes flashed with the people kneeling on the ground in the lobby of the castle. “I was indeed communicating with someone, so after being misled, I habitually thought that the mercenaries were afraid of myself. The more I am sure that I have entered the world of the past, the deeper I will fall into it and won’t be able to break free.”

“Right!” Victor suddenly clapped his hands. “If we can really see the past, we can follow their footsteps and maybe find the reason for their death. It must be related to the secret of this castle!”

Victor nodded his head towards the top of the stairs. “We have been thinking for a long time. Now we should go to find the truth. Don’t you want to know what happened to those mercenaries after they ran up? Now that we understand the principle of the spirit force field, we are prepared and will not be easily affected, right?”

Thor quickly lowered his eyes and raised them again, and heaved a sigh of relief a little abruptly.

“Now there is only one question left. We have to figure it out before we can go upstairs.”

“What?”

Thor took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms. “Do you remember what the knight gave me? Why won’t it disappear? If I can’t figure this out, I dare not continue to explore. Who knows whether the next attack will be real or an illusion?”

Seeing that Thor was unwilling to continue exploring, Victor’s face flashed a little impatience.

He glanced at the things in Thor’s hand, “You mean this bottle of holy oil? Maybe you picked it up from the ground after seeing the hallucination. As long as we maintain the stability of our spiritual bodies, we won’t…”

Thor suddenly laughed, “Brother, didn’t I tell you… that thing is called holy water?”

Victor narrowed his eyes.

Thor shook the small porcelain bottle in his hand, and the liquid inside made a dull sound.

“So you deliberately stuffed this potion into my hand?”

Victor couldn’t hold it anymore. He lowered his head and laughed so hard that his shoulders were shaking.

“Hehe, hehehe…”

“Everyone who encounters a wizard’s problem will guess the most terrible direction. I’m not surprised that you can guess a little. But what I can’t understand is that you only entered the synchronization twice and you can discover the essence of time and space transformation. You even saw through my identity twice.”

Twice?

Thor was stunned, but before he could react, Victor suddenly plucked the harp in his hand that had been silent for a long time.

The ethereal music sounded, and Thor’s eyes began to empty.

He seemed to be still making his final struggle, his eyes trembling constantly, sometimes looking at the man in front of him who was concentrating on playing the harp, and sometimes staring at the air in front of him.

Victor’s fingers brushed across the harp, and finally pressed lightly on the strings.

The music stopped abruptly.

Victor raised his head and said with a complicated expression: “Well, it seems that my lovely brother has reached the age where he can tease his brother. I’m really reluctant.”

“But the manor owner’s good show is about to begin, and as uninvited guests, we can’t be absent at the end. So…”

Lightning and thunder broke through the darkness.

Without any signs, they “returned” to the rainy world again.

Victor was still standing on the stairs, and Thor was still standing a few meters below him.

But Victor put away his complicated expression, showed a gentle smile, loosened the strings, and stretched out his right hand to Thor.

“My good brother, do you remember why you came here?”

“For…” Thor answered in a daze, “to find something. To solve a problem.”

Victor “tsk tsk” twice, “You’re still so tight-lipped.”

“Then let’s go find your treasure now. Do you remember the old wizard and the little boy just now?”

Thor nodded slowly.

“They’ve already passed by, and they’re much more anxious than you! If you don’t set off now, you’ll fall behind!”

Thor’s face showed a bit of confusion, raised his hands, and covered his cheeks helplessly, “But I seem to have forgotten something important.”

“Bang!” A loud noise came from above their heads.

Victor and Thor looked up at the same time, and the sound seemed to make Thor’s eyes clear again.

Victor saw this and quickly plucked the strings again.

Thor’s eyes were confused again.

Victor played and said quickly: “You naughty brother, look, the people above have found your treasure, come up quickly, if you don’t go over, the things that originally belonged to you will be taken away by others.”

Thor finally got what he wanted, showing an anxious look, and began to move forward, his pace was gradually speeding up.

His eyes passed over Victor and headed for the top floor of the spiral staircase.

The loud noise just now came from there.

Victor also frowned anxiously, “We may have to go faster, faster.”

However, Victor’s performance was only halfway through when Thor, who ran close to him, suddenly threw something at him, and at the same time, he exerted force with his left hand and jumped directly from the stairs.

Victor was shocked and just wanted to dodge, but he saw that the thing actually exploded directly in mid-air.

Countless iron pieces flew out, and many of them pierced Victor’s body.

But he was completely unprepared and had no time to cast a spell. He actually chose to hold the harp in his arms and protect it with his body!

Victor raised his head and looked at Thor who fell to the first floor, his eyes full of surprise, “You can actually break free?”

There was also a wound on Victor’s face, and blood dyed a few strands of silver hair red, and then dripped on the ground.

Thor stood on the next floor, looking at Victor who was gradually turning into a bloody man, and did not answer.

The effect of iron and fire was not so satisfactory in the open space, but Thor could not find a better opportunity to make it explode within Victor’s close range.

Countless tiny black tentacles instantly stretched out from behind Thor’s neck, and attacked the bloody man on the stairs.

Victor’s narrowed eyes revealed a bit of surprise, “Were you just performing?”

While speaking, Victor’s hands did not stop, and he quickly plucked the strings while dodging.

The clear but passionate music sounded, and the air was faintly vibrating. Most of the black tentacles were cut into several sections by the sound waves just when they approached Victor, and fell to the ground and twitched continuously.

But there were still a few tentacles that avoided the sound wave attack and came to Victor.

Victor suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

Thor, who was standing far away, felt a buzzing in his ears, and his originally stable spirit body immediately began to vibrate.

The black tentacles of the algae also began to become soft uncontrollably, barely touching Victor’s body, but could not cause any more damage.

A few black tentacles fell on Victor’s body due to inertia.

The latter just twisted his body slightly and threw off all the tentacles hanging on his body.
