Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 572
Chapter 567 The Judge
The big fish was bitten by the “fishhook”.
Thor waved his hand and asked Xiaozao to take it to the laboratory on the underground floor. He picked up the mushroom chair and walked to the lake.
“Long time no see, Gagagu.” He first greeted his old acquaintance, then looked at the new second-level wizard, “Hello.”
“Hello.” The second-level wizard opposite actually nodded in return, “Wizard Thor.”
Thor secretly looked at the unfamiliar second-level wizard. The wizard robe on him looked more complicated and solemn, not too much like the local clothing style of the State Continent.
Gagagu hurriedly introduced Thor, “Wizard Thor, this is the second-level wizard, Lord Justin. He came to see you, uh… uh…”
Gagagu hesitated to speak.
Justin took over what Gagagu said and stated his purpose directly, “I want you to help me treat my injuries and pollution.”
“I have some research on removing pollution, but you are a second-level wizard after all, and my means and methods may not meet your needs.”
“Also, I am not very good at treating injuries. I think since you are a second-level wizard, you should be better at healing witchcraft than me.”
After half a year of not opening, Thor wanted to keep this new patient.
It’s just that you have to explain your strength in advance, and you can’t let the other party have too high expectations, so as not to turn business into hostility.
“I have heard about your ability from Gagagu, but my situation is indeed special.”
Justin stopped halfway and glanced at Gagagu.
“Haha, the two adults talk first, I’ll go to Butler Hope to hand over the goods.” Gagagu was very tactful and left on his own, leaving the space for Thor and Justin.
After Gagagu left, Justin slowly took off his metal mask.
This person’s face is actually sunken inward!
The nose bridge that should have been high is deeper than the eye socket. It was as if the bridge of his nose had been cut off, and then a hammer had been smashed into the wound.
In the deepest part of the nose depression, there were a few yellow-green stains.
“I’m from the Nephrite continent, and I entered the Borderless Land five years ago. To be precise, I escaped.”
Justin’s voice was flat, and his eyes were calm, as if he was telling someone else’s experience.
“I’m a wanted criminal who was ordered to be eliminated by the Judgment Court.”
Thor had heard of the Judgment Court, but the elimination order…
He thought of the wizard Jasim who killed two wizards with a black blade and then committed suicide.
The other party was from the Judgment Court.
Seeing the change in Thor’s eyes, Justin knew that the other party had heard of the name of the Judgment Court.
“You don’t have to worry about angering the Judgment Court by treating me. They won’t enter the Borderless Land, which is why I took the risk to enter here.”
Jasim’s words contained a lot of information.
The Judgment Court will not enter the Borderless Land.
Why?
There are no barriers or checkpoints here, and even wizard apprentices and ordinary people can enter and exit at will-as long as they don’t encounter those fatal dangers.
It seems that this place is called the No Man’s Land not only because of the pollution and terrible rules it contains, but there must be other reasons.
Justin paused for a moment, giving Thor enough time to think, before continuing to speak.
“I was injured by the judge of the Tribunal while on the run. My metal solidification protection was almost destroyed. After I entered the No Man’s Land, the wound was corroded by the pollution here.
In the past few years, I have tried my best to treat my injuries and suppress the pollution, but my body has quickly reached its limit. If there is no way to solve it, I am afraid I will not live for
more than a year.” Whether it was a habit of character or despair, Justin was still calm when he said that he was about to die.
This made Thor admire his demeanor.
Not many people can be so calm when they feel death slowly approaching.
“Wizard Thor, your reputation has spread in this area, but to be honest, not many people dare to come to you for treatment.”
Thor touched his chin and admitted readily, “Indeed.”
“To remove the pollution is to expose your weakness to others. Most people will not come to you.”
“That’s right.” Thor nodded.
However, his job as a doctor is just a cover. If too many people come to him, it will be a trouble.
“But I am different. I have basically tried all the methods that can be tried. The remaining methods are either too dangerous or there is no way at all. So I come to you. This is probably my last attempt.”
Thor did not make any promises. “Can you let me see your injuries and pollution first?”
“Yes, but I need to take some protection.” Justin said calmly.
Thor agreed.
So, Justin silently chanted the spell, and a golden metallic liquid appeared under his feet.
This liquid extended to the surroundings under the feet of the two people, forming an equilateral triangle, and then grew diagonally upward from each side, finally forming a closed regular tetrahedron.
Thor was observing the magic fluctuations when Justin performed the witchcraft from beginning to end.
He found that the other party’s casting method was very heavy and stable, but in his magic fluctuations, there was a trace of tremor and uneasiness, just like the ant nest in the dam, which was worrying.
Then, Thor stepped forward to check Justin’s injuries, but the latter suddenly turned around and sat on the ground.
Then, he slowly lifted up the scalp behind his head.
A harsh sound like tearing tape was heard.
Thor tried to calm himself down and look more professional.
The skin on the back of Justin’s head was fake skin treated by witchcraft. And his back of the head to the neck was all made of metal.
It was not the metallic skin of Klee, but real hard, cold metal.
However, this metal, which should have been smooth and shiny, had a thick layer of yellow-green impurities on it.
The shape was irregular and the surface was rough.
Thor took out a glass rod and gently swept it, and saw some small pieces falling down.
He quickly caught them in a petri dish.
“If you don’t mind, can I do some simple tests on these first?”
“Of course.” Justin raised his hand, and his nails turned into a sharp knife like metal. He did it himself and shaved off a piece of metal surface with impurities for Thor.
Thor noticed that the metal back of the opponent’s head was still metal, and he wondered if there was still traditional flesh and blood.
The newly exposed metal layer was smooth and bright, but after a few seconds of exposure to the air, some dull colors began to appear on it, and soon turned to the familiar yellow-green color.
The surface also began to become rough.
Thor compared the petri dish with the new substance growing on the opponent’s head. From the appearance, they were the same.
“Some of it looks like the metal is rusted.” Thor said.
Justin covered his scalp again, then stood up, but still turned his back to Thor.
“Yes, I majored in metal witchcraft. The word rust is actually very vivid. I am rusting quickly, non-stop, and repeatedly. And this phenomenon has spread from the nose at the beginning to my entire head.”
When he turned his back to Thor, Justin’s eyes revealed a little fragility.
But when he turned around, the little fragility in his eyes was covered up tightly.
Thor didn’t stare at Justin anymore.
He had already lowered his head to study the properties of the material in the petri dish.
He had seen that this wizard, who seemed calm and composed on the surface, was actually very proud.
Although he could bravely reveal his most vulnerable physical side, he was unwilling to reveal even a little psychological vulnerability.
In this case, Thor naturally had to politely avoid him.
