Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 258

Chapter 258 Mist Man

Thor never knew that his workplace was so lively.

He lay on the wall, his face pressed against the gap, almost squeezing out his eyeballs.

He saw that the second warehouse was full of people.

These people were different from the standing corpses. They were illusory, even more unstable than the forms of Morton and others in the consciousness platform. Their bodies were floating and scattered like fog, barely maintaining the shape of their limbs and heads.

They stood on the ground, lay between the shelves, hid in a box, and crawled on the ceiling.

These fog-like people kept shaking their heads left and right. Although their facial expressions could not be seen, they seemed to be looking for something.

“They are looking for me.” Realizing this, Thor’s right eyeball began to move up and down and left and right.

It seemed that he wanted to find all the fog-like people in the room.

Since coming to the wizard tower, whether in the dormitory, the morgue, or now the second warehouse, he has always been very cautious.

Even when sleeping, he would be careful not to expose the existence of the diary.

For this reason, he even occasionally wrote a real diary so that he could naturally mention words related to the diary.

Because Thor didn’t feel safe in the wizard tower.

Now he finally found the source of the uneasiness that always lingered around him.

It was indeed as Gorza said, there were no evil spirits in this wizard tower, but it was filled with all kinds of spirits.

There were fragments, resentful spirits, and unconscious wandering souls.

Rather than saying it was a wizard tower, it was better to say it was a cage for the soul.

All the facilities here seemed to be related to imprisoning spirits.

And those so-called laboratories, dormitories and other structures were later transformed to facilitate the accommodation of strangers.

“Can these spirits really see me? If they can, will they tell Gorza what I did?”

Thor felt a chill and heat in his spine, as if someone had filled it with ice cubes and poured a pot of boiling water on it.

The white mist lingered in front of his eyes, making it difficult for him to see the truth.

“If Gorza can know all the information in the tower, then no matter what Mentor Anze, Mentor Rum or others want to do, it is actually under his control.”

“If some people want to do something bad, they will either do it in a more obscure way or operate outside the tower.”

Thor suddenly thought of the several times he walked in the wizard tower in a spirit state. Did the tower master know all of it?

At that time, he did not hide his soul form and reshape his appearance.

So did Gorza also know that his soul and body… did not belong to the same person?

Would Gorza think of world travel?

Or did he just regard him as a wandering soul that plundered other people’s bodies?

But whether Gorza knew it or not, and what he thought after knowing it, he never mentioned it to Thor.

“Maybe the tower master is concealing it intentionally, or maybe… he doesn’t care.”

Thor did not find the differences and connections between those mist-like people, nor could he observe whether they could communicate with people, and could not find other clues from those mist-like people.

He leaned back habitually, but found that there was not much space to move.

He barely raised his hand and rubbed his eyelids. His right eye was a little burning and painful, as if he had squeezed it too hard when he was peeping just now.

When he touched it with his hand, he could still feel an obvious indentation.

“Let’s see if I can get out freely first.” Thor tried to stretch his fingers out of the gap as he did when he came.

Then there was another dizziness, and he came out easily.

After coming out, he immediately looked at the gap in the wall. It was still the same as before. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t notice that there is a long and narrow gap there.

Thor turned his head and carefully memorized the current time – selectively forgetting that there was a mist-like man hanging under the blue hourglass clock.

Then, he entered the gap again to test how long he could hide in it at most.

Half a month later…

Through mentor Kaz, he asked for someone to take his place, and Thor took a month off in one go.

This time he went out to secretly go to Mofan Town.

In order to conceal his tracks, the destination he registered in the registration office was Mobei City, which was more than a day’s journey away from Mofan Town.

He specifically emphasized that he wanted the coachman with mushrooms on his head to drive for him.

This time, he not only had to see if there was any stock of Mosheng Fruit in Mosheng Town, but also had to find a way to get the seeds and cultivation methods.

After successfully building the consciousness platform last time, Thor realized that if he wanted to transform the diary into his own locator, he would probably have to conduct multiple studies.

And even if he successfully transformed the diary into a locator, he could continue to use the consciousness platform to replenish the energy of the soul consciousness stored in the diary.

In this way, his black pages would no longer be temporary consumables.

When Thor, wearing a gray cloak, went to the wizard tower again, he happened to see a single-passenger carriage parked on the avenue.

The coachman was standing next to the carriage at this time, and the small mushroom on his head was jumping.

From a distance, it seemed that it was not blown by the wind, but it was really jumping by itself.

When the coachman saw Thor, he greeted respectfully: “It’s a pleasure to drive for you, Lord Thor.”

“This time we may also go to Black Castle Forest on the way. Do you dare to go?” Thor raised his head slightly and looked at the small mushroom on the coachman’s head that was extremely active in the wind.

“It’s okay, sir. Thank you for your consideration, but in fact this mushroom has brought me a lot of convenience. At least when I was trying to snatch your mission, no one dared to compete with me.” The driver didn’t care. In order to facilitate Thor’s observation, he bent down to show it to Thor.

“Haven’t you absorbed this mushroom yet?”

“It hasn’t shrunk for a long time.” The driver couldn’t help but raise his hand and touch it, his movements were very gentle, “But it’s nothing once you get used to it.”

His expression was also very gentle, as if he was not touching a weird mushroom, but his own child.

Thor narrowed his eyes and looked at the mushroom.

In his semi-immersive vision, the mushroom was extremely active, not like an ordinary plant, but rather showing the activity of an animal.

However, the driver in front of him was not affected at all, and his spirit was very stable. The two seemed to have reached a symbiotic state.

Just living in symbiosis with a mushroom, Thor couldn’t be sure what the driver would become in the future.

“If necessary, I can help you deal with it.”

The driver touched his head, thought for a moment, bowed to Thor and said, “Thank you, sir. But no need, this mushroom also brings me strength, so when I follow you, maybe I can help a little.”

“Do you think so… Well then.” Thor did not persuade him much.

Everyone has his own choice.

Just like when he chose to embark on the path of wizard apprenticeship, he also had to bear the danger of dying at any time.

The driver chose to keep the mushroom that gave him strength, and he also had to bear the crisis behind it.

Thor would not interfere with an adult’s independent choice without affecting himself.

The topic of mushrooms ends here.

The driver opened the door for Thor, and waited for the other party to sit firmly before sitting on the front frame.

“Sir, then are we leaving for Mobei City?” The driver asked respectfully.

“Let’s go.” Thor leaned back.

He prepared a lot of props and materials for this trip, and also deliberately left some props in the wizard tower, such as the red-eyed doll given to him by the tower owner.

This doll is both a protection and a surveillance for Thor. It seems that Youla can see what is happening around Thor through this doll.

But Youla and Gorza don’t seem to be completely on the same page. After thinking about this invisible contradiction, Thor decided to leave it in the wizard tower.

It takes more than six days to travel from the wizard tower to Mobei Town by carriage.

Five days later in the morning, the coachman drove through a not very dense forest, breathing in the slightly cool and fresh air.

He likes the early morning, and the morning dew will make his mushrooms very comfortable.

Suddenly, an unquestionable order came from the carriage behind him, “Change the route at the intersection ahead.”

The coachman was startled. If he changed the route, it would not be the way to Mobei City.

However, when the coachman recalled the destination of the other road, he tightened the reins without saying anything and let the carriage turn to another trail.
