Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: It’s not shameful to tell the teacher

It turns out that this meditation map is called the Erosion Map.

But Thor still thinks that the name he gave is more vivid and appropriate.

“Teacher, I asked other people, and none of their meditation books have this map, only I have it… Someone touched my book, someone wants to kill me!”

Thor’s expression kept changing between anger and fear.

“So?” Kaz was calm, even a little indifferent.

“Please save me, teacher.”

Kaz’s white eyebrows frowned, and he looked down at Thor.

“Boy, the wizard’s world is not about truth, goodness and beauty. In order to become stronger and to explore deeper mysteries, everyone will do anything. What you have to do is to adapt to this world, not just think about seeking shelter.”

“Teacher Kaz, I understand the survival of the fittest, but I have only been an apprentice for two days, and someone has instructed the maids and even other apprentices to deal with me. Is there any other hidden story? Now I…” Thor shrank his shoulders, covered his stomach, and said pitifully, “I don’t even dare to eat the food brought by the maids.”

“Survival of the fittest?” Kaz was startled. “You haven’t learned much knowledge, but you have a lot of words.”

He thought about it and finally said, “Whoever wants to harm you has indeed crossed the line by instructing the servants and apprentices of the wizard tower. I know about this matter. No one will dare to touch the apprentices’ supplies in the future.”

He put one hand on Thor’s head. “Your ability is the most important thing to avoid the calculation of the erosion map. Go back and eat well and study hard, become stronger, and then you will find that the crisis on the road to becoming a wizard is much more terrifying than someone calculating against you.”

Thor’s request for help today consumed the time for asking questions. After Kaz finished speaking, he walked out of the morgue with his hands behind his back.

Thor was slightly relieved, but also a little disappointed.

Although Kaz said that Thor didn’t have to worry about being calculated in his daily life again, he didn’t say that he would help Thor find the murderer behind the scenes.

In other words, he still had to worry that Sid would find trouble for him in other places, or even… kill him himself.

Fortunately, the wizard tower should have certain constraints on second-level apprentices, otherwise Sid would not have tried so many tricks to deal with him.

It would only take a flick of the finger for a second-level apprentice to kill a new apprentice. He

still had to find a way to become stronger as soon as possible.

At the same time, he had to find a way to avoid Sid’s tricks before he could resist.

Thor began to copy the book again.

He had no expression on his face and wrote quickly. Even when copying the complex Noah text in the book, he did not slow down much.

At seven o’clock, he left the morgue.

When he was leaving, he suddenly saw the scarlet door next door open, and a man in his early twenties walked out. The badge on his clothes showed that he was also a first-level apprentice.

From his age, it was clear that he was a very senior first-level apprentice.

When the other party saw Thor, his eyes passed by as if he saw air.

Thor silently stepped aside and let the other party walk up the ramp first.

There was no work today, and everyone could get off work on time.

Thor stood by the door for a while, wanting to see if the red wooden door at the deepest part would open.

That should be the room where the first stage of corpse processing was located.

But Thor waited for about ten minutes, and there was no movement at the door.

Thinking that he couldn’t delay here for too long, Thor hurried away with the book.

…

Kaz was in a bad mood today.

None of his new apprentices satisfied him.

Duke had a high perception of dark elements and good magic talent, but his brain was not flexible and he had no spirituality.

It was so difficult for him to learn a few small runes. How could he get involved in witchcraft in the future?

Angela was also talented and smarter than Duke, but her mind was too impetuous.

Her big eyes were cute, but they were always rolling around.

Even learning basic knowledge, which only required hard work, she could do it well. She

also thought she was very good at pretending to be innocent.

Kaz himself was not a calculating person, so he didn’t like such apprentices.

In his opinion, those who became high-level wizard apprentices through calculations would eventually fall on the road to becoming formal wizards.

And Angela reminded Kaz of another girl.

That guy was probably tasting the bad results he had sown.

As for Thor…

Kaz didn’t take him seriously at first.

In his opinion, a person without magical talent would be a waste of the resources of the wizard tower if he became an apprentice.

It seemed that Thor must have used some tricks to become an apprentice.

Kaz originally wanted to take him down during the first test, but he accidentally discovered Thor’s talent in the soul.

No, it’s not accurate to say it was an accidental discovery.

Someone told him to do it.

Kaz walked slowly on the ramp between the sixteenth and seventeenth floors of the East Tower.

The sixteenth and seventeenth floors of the East Tower are the residences of the mentors.

Suddenly, the shadows around him moved suddenly.

The light of the candlestick was still so stable, but the shadows under his feet seemed to be fleeing, turning into countless fine black dots, colliding and jumping, scrambling to get into the cracks of the stone.

Kaz stopped, his face twitched, and his breathing slowed down.

Who said that a formal wizard would not be afraid?

He looked up and saw a man walking down the ramp.

His arms were close to his side without swinging, and his heels were raised high when he walked, with only a little bit of his toes touching the ground.

It was as if the ground was dirty and he was trying to avoid contact.

Most importantly, the man was wrapped in pink bandages, revealing only a pair of silver eyes.

Kaz leaned down deeply.

“Tower Master.”

“Yeah.”

With a simple response, the pink bandaged man and Kaz passed by.

Kaz let out half a breath in his heart.

But before he could spit out the other half, he found that the tower master stopped after taking two steps.

He turned around quickly, not daring to face the tower master with his back.

“Is that little guy suitable for handling corpses?”

The tower master, who even the formal wizard Kaz would be afraid of, spoke in a very gentle voice.

“Yes, his soul talent is indeed good. The first time he handled a corpse, he actually found one more material than me.”

“Haha, that must be because you didn’t take it seriously.” The tower master laughed.

Kaz shuddered.

“Show this to him, so that he can master it quickly.”

The bandage on the tower master’s abdomen tore a deep hole, and he put his slender fingers in and picked out a thin silk book.

“Okay.” Kaz took it with both hands.

“Oh, tower master,” Kaz suddenly remembered the boy who asked for help today, “someone has touched the boy’s meditation book and replaced one of the pages with an erosion map.”

The tower master turned around and seemed quite interested.

“He used the erosion map to meditate?”

“Well, I don’t think so. How can a new apprentice resist the erosion map? It must be lucky that he found something wrong and waited until today to tell me.”

A cold wind blew through the passage.

The tower master’s body, which was only on the tiptoes of the ground, swayed like a reed.

“That won’t do. The wizard apprentice is my thing, the meditation book is my thing, and the maid is my thing.” The tower master’s eyes were curved, as if he was smiling, “Oh, and the laboratory is also my thing.”

Laboratory?

Kaz felt cold sweat coming out of his hair, but he shrank back and didn’t dare to let it flow to his cheeks.

“Go find that bad guy and make him pay.”

After saying that, the tower master turned around and continued to go down.

When his figure disappeared behind the bend, countless black shadow dots jumped out of the cracks in the stone and reorganized the shadows in joy.

Kaz looked down at the book in his hand, somewhat puzzled.

Tower Master, why do you value that Thor so much?
