Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 592
Chapter 587: Accepting a Junior Apprentice
Thor and Brando didn’t reach an agreement in the end, and the latter had to leave in disappointment.
Jar Jar Gu stayed and continued to trade with Thor.
It was just because he brought Brando with him, which might have made Thor unhappy, so Jar Jar Gu deliberately lowered the price.
While selecting the goods, Thor asked Jar Jar Gu, “Has anything big happened in the Borderlands recently?”
Jar Jar Gu told Thor that they were looking for dangers everywhere. On the surface, they said they were going to make a code for the Borderlands, but Jar Jar Gu felt that they were looking for something. I just don’t know what they are looking for.
The three third-level wizards seemed to want to unite and act, and the Wind Demon and Firefly Lord, who had some conflicts in the past, also temporarily put aside their grievances.
“Third-level wizards are all looking for something, and this thing may appear in every dangerous area. They only know that it exists, but they don’t know where it is, so they can only use the dumbest method of investigation.” Sol held his chin and muttered in his heart, “Why does it feel like some kind of prophecy?”
His expression gradually became solemn, “If it is really something that a third-level wizard must find at all costs. The content of the prophecy is probably either something extremely rare or an extremely terrible disaster.”
Sol smacked his lips, “I really hope it’s the former.”
After completing the transaction, Sol helped Gagagu remove the pollution for the last time.
From now on, as long as Gagagu uses the substitute doll that Sol made for him, he will no longer be entangled by the pollution in the huge bag behind him.
Of course, in addition to the bag, there are many other pollutions and dangers in the no-man’s land, which are not within the protection range of the substitute doll.
When Sol returned to the wizard tower, he saw Noah following the butler down from the second floor.
Noah still had a few traces of panic on his face. When he went downstairs, he looked back from time to time and almost fell down. The butler who had been prepared for it grabbed him by the collar and put him on the ground.
“Lord Thor.”
Seeing Thor coming back from outside, Noah couldn’t help but run forward.
This Noah had been forced to mature, and had experienced a lot of despair and danger. But his original age might not even be ten years old.
After he lived in the wizard tower for two days, the liveliness in his bones slowly recovered.
“Lord Thor, I just went to see your laboratory on the third floor with Mr. Hope. It’s amazing!”
Noah used to think that wizards were so powerful, their witchcraft was so dangerous, and their behavior was so weird.
So he wanted to become a wizard apprentice, more of a strong psychological admiration.
But after seeing Thor’s (surface) laboratory, he realized that what wizards really studied was knowledge.
Only knowledge is the existence that makes people go forward one after another, day and night, and fascinated by it!
Although Noah still doesn’t understand it now, the magnificent world makes him obsessed.
“Lord Thor, can I really learn witchcraft knowledge from you?” Noah looked up, although his face was pale, but his eyes were full of light.
Thor originally wanted to ask him whether he wanted a stable but short life, or a dangerous, arduous life, but perhaps a shorter life?
But now it seems that Noah’s choice is obvious.
“It seems that you have made a decision. But I still have to warn you that after becoming an apprentice, you may encounter a lot of dangers, and you may die in a monster attack the next day.”
“Yes, sir. The butler has already told me.” Noah thought about it, and knelt on the ground with a “thump”. “Maybe because I died once, I am not so afraid of death now. On the contrary, if I can’t take a peek at the magical world you live in before I die, that will make me very, very, very scared.”
“Please accept me, I will definitely study hard and work hard to complete the tasks you have assigned me!”
Thor raised his hand, and an invisible force lifted Noah up.
“No need to do that. Just call me mentor.” Thor asked the butler to teach Noah the etiquette between wizards in the evening, and then took people to the top floor of the wizard tower.
Noah had only lived on the first floor of the wizard tower for the past two days, and had just visited the third floor. Now he followed Thor and continued to walk up, full of novelty and excitement.
When he reached the top floor of the wizard tower, he found that from the inside, the circular platform on the top of the tower was actually surrounded by a huge transparent barrier.
From the outside, there was nothing on the top of the tower.
But inside, you could see a huge cube.
It was taller than Thor, and you couldn’t touch the edge even with your hands outstretched.
The entire cube was black iron in color. A closer look revealed that it was not as smooth as iron, but was full of small uneven particles.
“Don’t stare at the lines on it,” Thor warned. “That’s a blurred witchcraft circle. If you stare at it, your eyes will be sucked up.”
Noah was stunned and quickly looked away. “Yes, mentor.”
Thor took Noah around to the other side of the cube.
On the wall of this cube, a headless corpse was hanging.
The upper body of the corpse had been stripped n*ked. The hands and feet were in a diagonal position.
A closer look revealed that there were no nails or chains on the corpse, as if it was attached to the cube.
Thor stepped forward, and suddenly there was a small knife in his palm. He gently scratched one of the corpse’s arms.
The skin and flesh separated, revealing the pale texture inside.
There were faint black and brown impurities in the skin.
Then Thor extended a black tentacle from the back of his neck and lifted him up to the cube.
From Noah’s angle, he couldn’t see what was on the cube. He could only see Thor squatting down and reaching his hand in it to stir it like stirring the water.
When he pulled his hand back, his palm was covered with a layer of black, sticky liquid.
The liquid kept sliding down, but when it was halfway
down, it suddenly jumped up and grabbed Thor’s wrist. It was like a hand that suddenly jumped up to grab Thor before falling down.
Thor remained calm and shook his wrist lightly. The black liquid eventually fell back into the cube without even a splash.
Thor jumped off the cube again and spread his palm to show Noah.
“I’ll give you a month to learn some specialized knowledge. After a month, I’ll send you to a sparsely populated place to collect these black particles.”
There was a layer of fine black particles on Thor’s palm, which looked like sand, but when Thor twisted his fingers, it immediately turned into a finer and smaller powder.
“I will call this thing black magic powder for now. I will teach you how to distinguish and collect it, and leave you some necessities for survival and a clone of Xiaozao.
Your main task at that time will be to collect and find a way to stay alive. I can’t always be with you, but I will go to see you every once in a while and guide your studies.”
Noah nodded repeatedly. He stared at the black powder in Thor’s palm, and felt that this thing was magical, but also seemed very dangerous.
This made his heart pound, and he didn’t know whether it was fear or excitement.
Thor collected all the black magic powder in his palm into a small sealed bottle.
Then he handed the bottle to Noah, so that he would always be familiar with his goal in the rest of his study career.
Noah took the bottle carefully, clenched it with both hands, and placed it on his chest, looking very cherished.
“Then next,” Thor thought about the personnel arrangement in his mind, “you will first learn the common language of wizards from Agu.”
