Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 259

Chapter 259: Graveyard Array

According to Thor’s instructions, the driver turned onto the path to Mofan Town.

After a while, the walls of Mofan Town and the roofs of some tall buildings appeared in front of him.

The driver reined in his horse and slowed down, “Sir, Mofan Town is ahead. Should I drive in directly or stop outside?”

“Wait for me in the woods like last time.”

Thor thought that he would not waste too much time going to Mofan Town this time, and it would probably take only half a day, so he asked the driver to wait outside.

Suddenly, the driver stared outside the woods and slapped the car door in fear, “Sir, look ahead!”

Thor immediately opened the car window and looked out.

The next second, his brows furrowed tightly.

In front of the woods, there was originally a field. When Thor came last time, his fellow villager Ada was turning the soil and cultivating the fields.

But now there are rows of small earth mounds half a person high on the flat land that was finally reclaimed.

The small mound of earth looked like an upside-down bowl, more like a grave without a tombstone.

At a glance, the small mounds were arranged neatly, forming a regular square array.

A rough sweep showed that there were hundreds of them.

“Don’t get any closer, just wait here.” As soon as the voice fell, Thor rushed out of the carriage like a gust of wind.

He was very fast, and his gray cloak fluttered in the wind. The hood fell off, revealing his short black hair and light gray skin.

It was clearly midsummer, and even the morning breeze was warm on people.

But now Thor could only feel a biting cold.

He stepped on the ridge of the field, and several small stones rolled down the soil and fell to the field below because of his movement, making a “crackling” sound.

The land was cracked like stone, and even the weeds were gone.

Thor stood at the edge of the field and immediately felt a strong smell of death.

These small mounds of earth were indeed graves.

This field, which was originally full of vitality, turned into a cemetery in just a few months!

Those soul fragments that were easily scattered in the air were as conspicuous as will-o’-the-wisp in Thor’s eyes.

Thor narrowed his eyes and swept his cold eyes across the entire cemetery.

“After I left, a massacre took place here. Not only that, they also crushed the souls of the dead. Are they afraid that someone who is good at dark attribute witchcraft will torture the souls of the dead?”

But there is one thing that is a bit strange.

As far as Thor knows, it does not take any special magic array to destroy the souls of ordinary people.

Therefore, these neatly arranged tombs look extremely strange.

Not only are the sizes and heights of each tomb the same, but they are also horizontal and vertical, forming a square array.

But in this seemingly strange tomb array, Thor could not find any magic fluctuations.

“Is this based on a witchcraft array or a sacrificial ritual? Are the barbarians back again? Or are they deliberately putting on a show to fool outsiders?” Thor sneered and then looked at the town not far away.

The gate of the town was closed, and the lazy soldiers who used to guard the gate were nowhere to be seen. I think they have become part of the tomb array.

In fact, before coming here, Thor had also vaguely thought about whether there would be any accidents in Mofan Town.

But he thought that if the person who secretly used the Mosheng Fruit wanted to keep the secret and not alert others, he should not touch Mofan Town.

Or is the secret in Mofan Town more important than the fact that someone is eyeing the Mosheng Fruit?

“I don’t know how Ada and Penny are doing. I remember that I asked them to leave here quickly.” Thor was a little worried about the two people.

Ada, who was a little dull, and Penny, a cute girl entangled in the cocoon of nightmare.

As an ordinary person, if you want to live more safely in this world, it is best not to have too much involvement with wizards.

Although they are no longer the same kind of people, Thor still doesn’t want the fellow villager who once took him in to die here.

However, reason told Thor that if there was really a wizard who wanted to destroy the entire Mofan Town, the two ordinary people might not be able to escape…

“Should I leave and pretend that I didn’t see anything, or…”

Thor glanced at the gate of Mofan Town again. The gate was tightly closed, and it was very quiet behind the back door.

There was no smoke from cooking in the town, nor was there any sound of insects or birds.

“Maybe we can find some clues about the Mosheng Fruit in this town.” He convinced himself.

However, Thor did not go to the town. Instead, he jumped off the field and walked directly to a grave.

He carefully cast a detection spell, and the grave did not respond.

“Even if there was a magic array or sacrificial ceremony here, it has been abandoned now. There is no magic fluctuation left.”

After the inspection, Thor immediately squatted down, put his hands into the soil, dug out a large piece of grave soil and put it aside.

He wanted to open the grave to see what was underneath.

“Sir, let me do this kind of work.” The driver, who was standing in the distance and watching on tiptoe, saw Thor actually started to dig the grave with his bare hands, and shouted loudly.

Thor didn’t even turn his head, just raised his arm and waved his hand to signal the driver not to come over, and continued to turn the soil.

After the transformation, although his skin has returned to human appearance, his strength and toughness are far beyond that of ordinary warriors.

It is not difficult to dig a grave with bare hands, and it is faster than using a shovel.

As for why witchcraft is not used, it is because they are afraid that the energy released by witchcraft will destroy the secrets.

A few minutes later, under Thor’s careful movements, a grave was hollowed out, revealing a package inside.

The material used for the package was just a tattered piece of clothing, and the clothes were overflowing with bright red blood.

“The blood is bright red, just like it just flowed out. This grave formation is indeed a bit abnormal.”

Judging from the size of the package, there must not be a complete body inside.

Thor frowned and opened the package.

Inside were several pieces of meat that were so fresh that they could be thrown on the chopping board in the vegetable market.

Thor used a cloth to turn over the pieces of meat through his hands.

Under several pieces of meat that did not know where they belonged, he found an eye.

“Dismemberment?”

It was more and more like the method of barbarians.

Thor stood up and checked the situation in other graves again.

He randomly selected graves to dig, some in the center and some on the edge.

In all these graves, there were pieces of meat wrapped in a simple piece of clothing.

Thor found three hands in one of the graves. And judging by the shape of the hands, they belonged to three people.

Now Thor can basically be sure that the pieces of meat in each grave do not belong to the same person.

Not only were the bodies dismembered, but they were also buried together.

Thor wrapped the remains with clothes again and put them back in the grave, but did not cover the grave soil immediately.

Thor returned to the ridge of the field and was silent for a long time. Then he raised his hand, summoned the wizard’s hand, and covered the loose soil he had dug up.

“There are no witchcraft props or magic circles hidden under the tomb. Could it be that someone is bored and uses the corpses of everyone to make an art show?”

There was no more discovery in the tomb, so Thor decided to enter Mofan Town.

After cleaning the mud and sand on his body and hands with a cleanser, Thor put on his hood and slowly walked towards the town.

However, when Thor was only a dozen meters away from the gate of the town, the gate of Mofan Town suddenly “creaked” and was pushed open a little.

An old man stuck half of his body out from inside.

This man was unkempt and dirty, but Thor still recognized his identity the moment he saw him.

“Old madman?”

Thor walked forward quickly, but the other party suddenly stretched out a dry and thin arm and pushed forward.

“Go back quickly.” He said, “Don’t come in.”

Thor would naturally not let him go all the way.

He did not retreat but advanced, “Old madman, are you still alive? Where are the others? Where are Ada and Penny?”

The old madman was shocked, he looked up at Thor with a complicated face, and his eyes gradually became mad.

“I said we can’t trade with the barbarians, we can’t, we can’t… The village is destroyed, everyone is dead… The village is destroyed, everyone is dead…”

Without waiting for Thor to continue, he suddenly went back inside and slammed the door shut.

Thor walked to the city gate, put his hand on the gate and was about to push it hard when he suddenly heard the sound of the tide.

“Hua…Hua…Hua…”

Mofan Town is located in the northern desert, a place with scarce water resources. And Thor remembered that there was no river in the town.

Where did the sound of the tide come from?
