Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 198
Chapter 198 Conditions
Thor looked back at the entrance to the basement with some worry.
“Just in case, I can only stay here for half an hour at most. After that, whether I dig a hole or go out to find another way out, I can’t let myself be trapped in this place any longer.”
If Victor was not an ordinary wizard apprentice, or even not a wizard apprentice, Ralph, who had turned into a human-faced worm, might not be able to beat him.
Thor’s move just now to divert the trouble to someone else, it’s not certain who will be harmed in the end.
“Then, you should be able to see something. I’m not a formal wizard. How can I help your master get rid of it? And why should I take this risk?”
Thor said as he rummaged through this small compartment without any hesitation.
Thor was not obsessed with getting Ralph free, but he vaguely felt that Hunter must have a lot of capital in his hands to negotiate a deal with him with a head.
As for what is most important to Thor in this manor, it is naturally the clues to the diary of the dead wizard.
“I hope you can help me kill my master.” Hunter said in a deep voice.
Thor was stunned. He was not trying to save people. “Did Ralph turn you into this?”
“Yes,” Hunter smiled bitterly. “But I don’t hate the master. I just don’t want the master to lose his dignity as a formal wizard. Although I am not a wizard, I have been serving wizards all my life, so I know that the master’s current state is irreversible. I believe that if the master is still conscious, he will definitely not accept himself now.”
“So you want to help him get rid of it? But I have to tell you that I am not a match for your master’s current appearance. I will not do such a thing as giving away my head.”
“I understand, Master Wizard, no one will agree to a mission that will lead to death even if the conditions are good. Please come to me. There is a bottle behind my head.”
Thor heard this, turned to his left shoulder, raised his hand and casually patted the non-existent dust on it, and glanced at the knight Olaf not far away, and then walked towards the butler’s head.
While the two were talking, Olaf had been standing five meters away from the two. Although he was only in ghost form, he still stood with his sword drawn, acting as a loyal guard.
Thor walked over and saw the butler Hunter’s head on a large plate. There was some light red liquid in the plate, but only a thin layer that could not cover the fingers was left.
“Hunter can still think and move, probably because of this liquid.”
Although Thor was interested in the composition of the liquid, now was not a good time to do experiments.
The algae stretched out from the back of Thor’s neck, fumbled behind Hunter’s head for a while, and pulled out a transparent crystal bottle.
“This is it,” Hunter’s eyes were full of complexity, “After the master got Victor’s potion, he has been thinking about the ingredients in it, and at the same time making an antidote to remove the effect of the potion. But until the master lost consciousness, only a semi-finished product was completed. But the master is sure that as long as this antidote can be completed, the benefit effect brought by the potion can be directly disintegrated.”
Thor carefully observed the potion, “But with your master’s current state, if the potion is removed, he may not survive… Oh, yes, anyway, you want him to be free, it doesn’t matter whether he lives or not.”
Hunter gritted his teeth, but had to admit that Thor was right.
“This task is not easy. Even if I can develop an antidote, I must face Ralph again to free him. The danger is too great. I can’t think of any reward you can give me for taking this risk.”
Hunter immediately said, “I know the formula notes of this antidote. The master is just a little bit away from completing it.”
Hunter first took the initiative to reduce the difficulty of the task, and then said, “If you can develop the potion, I will pass on Lord Ralph’s inheritance of flesh and blood witchcraft to you. Flesh and blood witchcraft is the inheritance of the Bloodthorn family for hundreds of years.”
“Not enough.” Thor shook his head decisively.
Hunter was stunned. He never thought that the foundation of a wizard family could not impress the boy opposite.
He gritted his teeth and said again, “There are also Lord Ralph’s decades of research notes. It not only includes flesh and blood witchcraft, but also a lot of knowledge and experiences contributed by wandering wizards. After being refined and verified by Lord Ralph, it has been condensed into a “Blood Catalog.”
“Anything else?” Thor said expressionlessly.
Hunter opened his mouth, almost forgetting that he didn’t need to breathe, “My lord… this is already the most valuable thing in Ralph Manor
. I don’t think you would care about other mundane gold and silver.” “I don’t want gold and silver, I just want knowledge. A family that has been passed down for a hundred years shouldn’t only have the catalog summarized by Ralph, right?” Thor stared at Hunter.
Hunter stared at Thor blankly, and suddenly realized, “My lord, are you interested in the things from the last year? There are some here, but they are all records without basis, and even the authenticity cannot be verified.”
Thor’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt that he had asked the right question. “Then don’t worry about it. Anyway, the price you have offered is not enough to drive me to risk my life. As for the other things, I want to take a look first.”
“I understand. Please move the bench under the table and put it neatly on the right side.”
Xiaozao came out immediately to do it.
“Click!”
When the chair in the compartment was pushed under the long table, a spring sound was heard, and the stone bricks on the ground where the chair was originally located suddenly bounced up.
Xiaozao went in and poked his head in. He didn’t find any dangerous mechanism, so he retracted it to the back of Thor’s neck.
Thor walked over and leaned down.
This small mechanism does not have any witchcraft elements, so there is no magic fluctuation. Instead, it is easy to be ignored by wizards who are used to using magic to detect.
This small secret compartment is half a meter deep, and there is a pile of books and a pile of papers in it, as well as several witchcraft scrolls.
Thor looked at the scrolls, only one of which is a level 1 witchcraft, a secondary fireball. The others are all level 0 witchcraft.
Thor really doesn’t understand, why is the level 0 witchcraft made into scrolls?
He casually threw the scroll to the ground, took out the book from the secret compartment and stood it on the ground.
Look at the title and guess the content.
Intuitively, there is nothing here.
Thor finally picked up the pile of scattered papers of different thicknesses and materials, and quickly flipped through them with his thumb.
A string of characters that he could understand and couldn’t understand flashed before his eyes.
Suddenly, Thor stopped and pulled out a few papers from it, and his eyes gradually brightened.
These papers described that when the Bloodthorn Family became independent, they brought out a book from the Bloodrose Family, called the Diary of a Dead Wizard!
Although the following pages did not specifically describe the content of this diary, they also mentioned some of its origins and family rumors about it.
The Bloodrose Family did not attach importance to this book, so it was passed on to Ralph’s ancestors very casually.
“This diary is indeed not passed down by the ancestors of the Bloodthorn Family. It seems that there is another story about its origin.”
He quickly scanned the words on the paper.
Behind Thor, Hunter, who was left with only a head and was still placed on the cabinet, could not see whether Thor, who was facing away from him, had found any satisfactory gains.
Seeing that Thor casually put the family’s treasured knowledge aside, he felt distressed and nervous.
Hunter was not afraid that Thor would take these things away. After all, they were all unverified knowledge and illusory records. Anyway, Hunter had not given the most important flesh and blood witchcraft and Lord Ralph’s notes to Thor.
He was afraid that Thor would not agree to take the risk in the end, and then he would be really powerless.
Thor was the only one who could enter the basement for such a long time, so Hunter chose to cooperate with him.
If Thor still disagreed in the end, Hunter really didn’t know if he could wait for the second person.
At this time, Thor stood up and stuffed a few pieces of paper into his arms. He turned around and said, “Hunter, is there anything else you are hiding from me?”
“No, sir.”
“Then explain it to me. Since you have become a head and are placed here, how do you know that your master has been locked up on the fourth floor as insect feed?”
