Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 197

Chapter 197 The Butler’s Request

“The secret of the dead wizard’s diary is definitely hidden here!”

For a moment, Thor forgot the pain and smiled.

He almost missed the secret here.

If he could learn more about the diary, Thor could turn the diary into his locator faster.

Maybe he could unlock more secrets of the diary and deduce more ways to use it.

At this time, a strange sense of oppression came from behind him again. Thor did not look back, but stared at the diary.

He stepped forward and began to release magic according to the patterns drawn on the black pages of the diary.

When several nodes on the formation were connected together, the door on the ground suddenly opened a small gap outward.

A trace of joy flashed across Thor’s face, and he quickly squatted down to lift the entire door.

He quickly got into the ground, and Xiaozao stretched out from the back of his neck to help Thor close the door behind him.

As soon as Thor jumped down, he stepped on a soft staircase.

Looking down, he found that the staircase was made up of the girl’s arm.

Anyway, he had never seen a man’s arm so slender and white, and the joints were very small.

“The person who used this to make stairs must be a psychopath, right?”

Thor has always been practical. If it weren’t for research, he wouldn’t make these scary things. Of course,

if other people did this, Thor wouldn’t interfere.

What’s more, the person who made this ladder is likely to be dead or rotten.

He jumped down the stairs in a few steps and looked around the basement.

It can be confirmed that this basement is definitely the laboratory of Ralph Manor.

It’s just that this laboratory… Compared with Thor’s laboratory, it’s a bit shabby.

It’s not that there are few things.

There are all kinds of books and materials around here.

But if you look closely, these materials are either very cheap or very common. And the books placed here are mainly ordinary books, notes, and handwritten books.

In terms of variety and profundity, it’s not even as good as the library Thor has been in contact with. Not to mention the private collection of the tower owner.

But this place is still full, it is the last persistence of the lonely wizard family.

It’s safe for the time being.

Thor took a long breath, took out the potion and started to treat his ears.

The wound is not serious, a little witchcraft plus potion can solve it.

In this dangerous place, it is still very dangerous to be deaf. If he faces Victor again… he will be deaf again.

He had just swallowed a bottle of potion when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye.

Thor immediately picked up the scroll in his pocket, but did not attack immediately.

“Master Wizard.” A man walked out from behind the bookshelf.

Thor immediately recognized the other party, “Are you… Knight Olaf?”

The tall knight, wearing metal armor, walked silently.

The other party was no longer a living person.

Through his body, the bookshelf behind him could be vaguely seen.

After Olaf appeared, he touched his chest and saluted Thor in a knight’s salute.

“Do you still recognize me? Do you remember what happened at the entrance of the castle just now?”

“Yes, sir.”

Thor looked at him, “You are just an ordinary person, and your mental power has not reached the minimum level of a wizard, but you can stabilize your spirit after death. Someone helped you, right?”

The knight saluted again, “Yes, sir. It was an old man here in the manor who helped me. He also knew that I entered this place for refuge.”

“Then you came out because that old man was looking for me?”

Olaf said, “Yes, respected wizard, but he did not come to greet you in person not because of arrogance, but because he really could not move. His name is Hunt, and he was the former steward of this manor. He invited you over because he hopes to make a deal with you. If you are interested, please follow me.”

When Thor tried to open the door of the basement, he did not come out, and wanted to make a deal as soon as Thor came in.

He knows how to choose the right time.

Thor looked around and didn’t find any hidden magic fluctuations here, so he decided to go and meet the other party.

Seeing Thor nod, the knight led the way in front and took Thor into the depths of the basement.

Here, at the innermost part of the laboratory, there was another compartment.

However, the door of this compartment was violently destroyed and lay miserably on the ground.

When Thor passed by, he found that the door was smashed from the inside out.

He took in the traces around him and followed Olaf into the small compartment.

The compartment was not big, it looked less than ten square meters. There were no sealed books here, only notes piled up half a person’s height, and papers scattered on the ground. As

soon as Thor entered, he stepped on a few pieces of paper.

Some of the papers were full of words, and some were just unconscious lines.

He looked around and saw… an old man’s head on the open wall cabinet.

The old man had white hair, thin cheeks, and dark blue bags under his eyes. He looked old and tired.

“I’m sorry, Master Wizard, I can only meet you in this form.”

“No need to say polite words, who are you? What deal do you want to make with me?”

Thor didn’t want to waste time talking to a human head. If there was no clue here, he had to hurry up to find the information in the diary.

The old head pursed his lips, and when he spoke again, his speed was much faster.

“I am Hunter, the steward of this manor, and my master is Ralph, a formal first-level wizard. I want to use the greatest wealth of this manor in exchange for your help in liberating my master.”

“Liberation?” Thor frowned, and suddenly realized something, “The human-faced worm outside… is Ralph?”

Butler Hunter’s face revealed obvious sadness, “Yes.”

“My master was seriously injured because he offended a very powerful big man. We returned to the manor to secretly heal his injuries. If everything goes well, it will take about five years for the master to recover.”

“Who did you offend?” Thor immediately asked, a figure appeared in his mind.

“…It’s the master of the wizard tower.”

Thor widened his eyes, but sighed in his heart that it was indeed the case.

So the tower master had silently helped him once?

“You don’t have to worry about offending that lord. My master has no way to survive now. We originally wanted to leave here immediately after Lord Ralph regained his ability to move…” Hunter sighed, “but everything did not go smoothly.”

“When we just returned to the manor, in order to prevent being disturbed, we deliberately opened some of the defense restrictions. To ordinary people, it was haunted. The first year was still peaceful, but in the second year, that is, ten months ago, a wizard suddenly broke into the manor. He caught me and said he wanted to give the master a gift.”

“That man… is his name Victor?”

The butler wanted to nod, but in the end he just blinked, “Yes. But lord, I can only tell you that this is not his real name. And I have been placed under a witchcraft ban and cannot reveal his real name.”

“After Victor found the master, he told him directly that with the master’s current condition, even if he could recover in a few years, he would lose his powerful power and could only wait for death to come. But he can help the master recover faster and become even stronger.”

“Did Ralph agree?”

“No, although my master was seriously injured, his spirit was still good. He knew that this condition had hidden dangers as soon as he heard it. He didn’t want to agree, but he had to agree. Because Victor played a song that allowed the master to see the hidden dangers in his body. If he didn’t find a solution, he would die in a few years. So the master had no choice but to take the risk and try.”

“What did Victor do?”

“He gave the master a bottle of potion, and then kept sending people into the manor for the master to devour. At first, the master was very cautious and studied the potion repeatedly. But later, he suddenly lost control. When the master still had some consciousness left, he hid me here, and then stayed in the study on the fourth floor. Victor continued to send blood food to the master. But after that, he didn’t just send people.”

No wonder Victor said that he had never killed anyone, he was just a courier who sent people into the insect’s mouth.

But if Ralph devoured other creatures, the cross-species fusion would probably have caused him a lot of trouble, so that he finally became this kind of neither human nor insect.

This man-eating manor was actually arranged by Victor!

This guy might not be as simple as Thor thought.

“Do you know what Victor’s strength is? Can he enter here?”

“No, the master has been meeting him in the study on the fourth floor and has never let him in.”

Thor was relieved to hear this.

But just in case, Thor still asked Morton’s opinion in the diary.

However, Morton’s words once again made Thor’s heart rise to his throat.

[No, because I cracked the magic circle this time, I’m afraid it has lost its original energy. If no one replenishes it, it will be completely ineffective in about an hour. ]
