Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 The Price of Knowledge

Byron grabbed the draft of the painting that Thor had just explained, including the absorbent pen sandwiched in it, and stuffed them into his disguised big mouth.

He nodded to Thor, and then said “hmm”, and then left Thor’s dormitory.

As for Keli, she had been standing there without saying a word since Thor began to explain his three-dimensional model analysis rune method.

She stared straight at the table, and did not come back to her senses even when Byron took away all the draft papers.

After a long time, Thor became a little worried.

Could it be the sequelae left by the parasite in the mutual aid association?

Although Senior Byron said that the parasite is not life-threatening, he did not say that it would not harm the brain.

Looking at the appearance of those apprentices who were parasitized, there are more or less some problems with their brains.

Suddenly, Keli moved.

She opened Thor’s door and rushed out like the wind, and before Thor could come back to his senses, she rushed in like the wind with a bunch of things in her arms.

She kicked the door shut.

“Swish!”

A bag fell on the table, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Then came a book and something like a grenade.

“These are all the magic crystals I have. These two are the most valuable things I brought. They are all for you!”

Keli put her hands together and bowed.

“Please tell me again. I didn’t quite understand just now!”

Thor was not polite. He opened Keli’s purse, reached in with both hands and took out a handful.

However, a lot of magic crystals were exposed from the gaps between the white bones.

It looked a bit regrettable, but Thor didn’t feel embarrassed to pick them up again.

Otherwise, it would be a bit of a loss of style.

“What is this?” He pointed to the thin booklet on the table.

“This is a spell book about the 0-level witchcraft of the fire element, the scorching breath.” It

turned out to be a spell book?

Thor picked up the book at once, but resisted opening it.

“I have a copy of this book, this is the original, and there are also the original owner’s practice experience at the back.”

Seeing Thor’s excitement, Keli was also proud in her heart, and she regained her pride in her words.

“But because it is a relatively powerful spell among the 0-level spells, you need to learn two composite runes of the fire element when constructing the spell model.”

“This spell book alone is equivalent to the knowledge I taught you.” Thor sighed.

A first-level apprentice can learn two witchcrafts from the mentor for free. If you want more, you have to exchange them for credits.

And the more powerful the witchcraft, the more credits you need.

Thor really didn’t expect that Keli had such a good thing in her hand. It seemed that the magic crystals she just took were a bit too much.

But Keli didn’t think that Thor had taken advantage of her at all. She took the initiative to introduce the third thing.

“This is called Iron and Fire, and it is a witchcraft prop. When using it, unscrew the cover at the back, pull out the cotton rope inside, and then throw it out within five counts. It will explode when it is hit hard or after five counts. There are sharp iron fragments inside that can penetrate the tough outer skin.”

Wow, it really is a grenade!

Keli’s identity in the outside world should not be simple, otherwise it would be impossible for her to carry so many magic crystals with her, and even have a spell book and a witchcraft prop in her hand.

“I just taught you a rune.”

The other party was too generous, which made Thor feel a little guilty.

“No, what you taught me is a method, a way of thinking.” Keli said seriously, “Unfortunately, I don’t have equal knowledge to exchange with you now, so I can only give you these vulgar things.”

Thor shook his head.

It doesn’t matter, I like vulgar things.

…

When Keli went back, no one was wandering in the corridor. Even if they relaxed, they would not forget to seize the time to continue studying.

Thinking of the weird laughter coming out of the mouths of the freshmen who participated in the mutual aid meeting, Thor secretly warned himself that this wizard world is full of dangers, and it is not only Sid who can threaten his life.

So no matter where you are, you must remain alert and vigilant.

Sol sometimes misses his past life. Although the pressure of being a social animal is also great, it is not life-threatening.

It’s just that even his sleep time is compressed, and the time he can use to recall the past is just a few seconds when he occasionally loses focus during study.

In the next few days, Sol completely mastered the dark attribute compound rune and asked for the first 0th-level witchcraft from mentor Kaz.

The first two 0th-level witchcrafts do not require magic crystals and credits to learn, which is equivalent to the mentor’s compulsory education.

But if you want the mentor to fulfill his obligations, you can only wait until the mentor is satisfied with you or when he is in a good mood.

Otherwise, you may just get a cold dismissal.

“You haven’t even learned the basics, what witchcraft do you want?”

Sol’s choice of the first witchcraft once again surprised Kaz. He chose organ preservation.

There is a kind of determination to work in the morgue until death.

But it also made mentor Kaz very satisfied. He learned this witchcraft without much talk.

In addition to learning runes, Thor has been training his mental power these days.

The props used for training are the puppet dolls he borrowed.

Every time Thor trains his mental power, he can still hear the puppet doll’s cries for help.

The fragmented, whispering, and surrounding cries for help make people dizzy, and when the fierce and crazy “Kill me” appears, Thor will immediately disconnect himself from the puppet.

After being able to initially control his mental power, the puppet’s influence on Thor is limited.

“Sure enough, becoming stronger can break the weirdness.”

Thor let go of the puppet doll, put her face down on the table, and then continued to analyze the 0-level witchcraft preservation organs.

“If according to the view of the previous life, the decay of the corpse seems to be caused by the death of immune cells and the continued metabolism of microorganisms, then what is the principle of using witchcraft to preserve organs?”

Thor took out a new blank book and began to record the research process of witchcraft preservation organs.

As for some thoughts about the knowledge of the previous life, he would use the text of the previous life, and deliberately write some typos that sound the same or have similar characters.

Although he might be overthinking, Thor was still afraid of being deciphered.

The wizard world can really slice you up and study you!

“Could organ preservation be a microscopic spell similar to dehydration and sterilization? Just like food, if it is sealed and sterilized, it can be preserved for a long time.”

Combined with the description of Teacher Kaz, Thor felt that he had a preliminary understanding of this witchcraft.

Next, he put down all his notes, took out three pieces of fresh organs that were cut from the guests yesterday from the cabinet, and brought them to the table.

Thor stared at the first piece, and his mental power began to depict the composition runes of witchcraft.

He raised his hands to the air and began to dance.

The gesture is the spellcasting gesture taught by Teacher Kaz, which is necessary for newcomers.

The spellcasting gesture, as a guide, can reduce the possibility of spellcasting failure and reduce the lethality of failure backlash.

When you can cast spells proficiently, you can guide with one hand or without gestures.

Before Thor officially cast the spell, he had practiced the gesture hundreds of times, making this gesture a subconscious reaction of the body.

He also activated the corresponding basic runes in his mental body over and over again.

As compound runes consume too much magic power (after many adjustments, a compound rune will not consume all of Thor’s magic power), Thor only dared to draw it with a pen to increase his familiarity.

But even with a lot of preparation, Thor’s first spell still failed.

The magic power in his body fluctuated a little, and Thor calmed down for a while before he could continue thinking.

“When constructing multiple runes together, it is easy to be distracted, resulting in construction failure, or my proficiency is not enough.”

After failing for the first time, he did not get discouraged, but took out the crystal ball and immediately began to meditate to restore his magic power.

One,

two,

three,

when the candlestick above the teleportation platform lit up, Thor finally succeeded!

Level 0 witchcraft, organ preservation, proficiency +1!
