Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 665
Chapter 658 Free Labor
As soon as Lucy finished speaking, Thor put away his momentum.
He didn’t think that the powerful second-level wizards selected by the Stargate Council were to kill each other.
That was a stupid waste.
However, Luke had secretly provoked Thor several times, and Thor would not ignore it. Anyway,
if they really wanted to kill someone, he would definitely be the one who survived.
No matter what these people had, as long as Thor opened the consciousness battlefield, none of them would be able to escape.
What’s more, he is now a second-level wizard. Although he is not sure that he can use the consciousness battlefield to imprison third-level wizards, it is no problem to deal with wizards of the same level.
Corey’s eyes returned to dullness, and only Luke looked a little stiff.
Lucy was quite satisfied with the effect of her warning words, and the ice on her face dissipated a little.
She raised her hand, and suddenly three floating magic scrolls appeared in her palm.
Each scroll had an exquisite seal with golden patterns on it.
“This is the witchcraft array that the Stargate Council has just designed to suppress the eye of the storm, the Ice Lock. But for various reasons, the design has not been completed.
If any of you can complete the design of the array and improve your own strength to the extent that you can make the door in your body loosen, you will win the selection.
Stargate will provide all the manpower and material resources needed for promotion to help you completely open the door in your body.”
None of the three candidates reacted much to Lucy’s words. Obviously, not only Thor, but the others also knew the reward for the successful selection before coming here.
It’s just that I didn’t expect that the selection condition would be to study the witchcraft array.
Luke changed his mouth again and threw the old one to Kafka beside him.
Kafka took the mouth and swallowed it with a “cool” sound, like a beast that had been hungry for a long time.
“Luke’s resurrection has great sequelae.” Thor saw this scene and shook his head in his heart, “He can’t compare with his mentor at all.”
“The design and improvement of the witchcraft array are measured in years. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to use this as a selection condition?” Luke, who had changed his mouth, said.
Lucy looked at him sideways, “If you think you can’t complete the design and transformation of the ice lock array within a year, then you can withdraw from the selection.”
Luke narrowed his eyes immediately, obviously unhappy with Lucy’s words and her attitude.
Corey still didn’t show any emotion.
Sol touched his chin, seemingly thinking about how to complete the task as soon as possible, but he thought strangely in his heart: “It’s not my illusion, Lucy really doesn’t like this selection. Is she dissatisfied with the selection of the third level, or dissatisfied with us candidates?”
Sol’s eyes flashed with a smile, he did not ignore that Lucy was also a second-level wizard, and had been hovering at the second level for a long time.
If she was really the eldest daughter of the Stargate Council, maybe she wouldn’t care about the opportunity to be promoted to the third level this time.
But she is just a man-made person, and the Stargate Speaker Alick may not be willing to give her so many resources for promotion.
And relying on herself… Sol really didn’t see how powerful the talent of this eldest daughter was.
“If one of us can loosen the door in the body at the same time and complete the design of the ice lock array, what should we do?” Sol asked.
Since we are going to compete, we must make the rules of the competition clear.
“If two people come to hand in the magic circle at the same time, or the time they have been at the Old Manor for no more than one day, then the merits of the two people’s magic circle designs will be compared. The party with the tighter blockade of pollution will be the winner.” Lucy answered without hesitation, and it was obvious that she had thought of this answer long ago.
“From what you said,” Luke had regained his composure at this time, “Don’t we need to conduct research in the same place? Then how can you guarantee that the candidates will not cheat and ask for help from others?”
Thor thought to himself: “Even if I am locked up with you, you can’t find me asking for help from others.”
“I never said you can’t ask for help from others.” Lucy gave an unexpected answer, “Your knowledge and connections are also a test of you. After all, we don’t want the new third-level wizard to have to fight alone when they need to fight.”
“We don’t want a powerful third-level wizard. We want someone who can quickly stand up and solve problems when problems arise in the No Man’s Land.”
“If any of you can invite a fifth-level wizard, then the Stargate Council will have no problem directly promoting you to elders, not to mention the third level.”
Seeing that no one had any other questions to ask,
Lucy handed the three scrolls in her hand to the three people.
After Thor took the scroll in his hand, he was still staring at Lucy, and saw that her eyes also stayed on the scroll.
“Sure enough, she actually wants to be one of the candidates.” Thor silently put away the scroll, called Byron, and the two flew away together on the giant bird Diudiu.
Standing on the back of the bird, Byron was the first to unfold the ice lock scroll.
Although this was a question given by the Stargate Council to several second-level wizards, Byron had enough basic knowledge and could still understand the question.
“This ice lock array has the same solution as the inertization formula part we are studying now.”
Thor tilted his head to read it and nodded, “It also reduces the activity of black tide pollution. But they want to freeze it, while we want to inactivate it, and the degree is a little worse.”
Byron was not proud of this, “If we didn’t have the inactivated black powder in our hands, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have thought of this level. Even if we thought of it, we would have no idea.”
“This array is said to be unfinished, but in fact it only has a general framework idea.” Thor chuckled and stopped looking at the scroll, “The Stargate Council has found three free laborers to help them find a new way to seal the eye of the storm. Even if we all fail in the end, there is no need to worry. They can temporarily send a third-level to guard the no-man’s land until the problem of the eye of the storm is solved.”
Byron slowly rolled up the scroll of the array and said in a faint voice, “But they don’t know that we are also studying similar problems. Although this array only has a framework, it provides us with a new way to solve the problem.”
“I have a new idea for solving a difficult problem that I’m stuck on.”
Thor smiled, raised his hand and patted Diudiu under him, “Then let’s speed up and go back.”
The pale yellow giant bird drew a graceful arc in the sky.
The shuttle came on time to pick up his master.
The pumpkin carriage disappeared on the road.
Only Lucy was left standing quietly in front of the gate of the old manor.
Her beautiful eyes were slightly lowered, looking at the ground diagonally in front of her, and no one knew what she was thinking.
About ten minutes later, the three candidates had walked to a place far away that could not be seen, and another person slowly walked out of the old manor.
He had a smile on his face, and his walking posture was casual. There was a small silver harp hooked on his middle finger and ring finger.
“It feels bad to give away the opportunity with your own hands, right?”
Lucy turned back suddenly, and the coldness on her face just now disappeared, gradually turning into a kind of aggrieved but stubborn expression that could not be revealed.
“You don’t know the situation, don’t talk nonsense.”
If it was before, Lucy might have hit him directly, but now that she is familiar with Kismet, she finds that although this man is frivolous and sometimes talks nonsense, he is careful and always takes care of her emotions inadvertently.
In addition, he was half-dead by Ophelia last time. If Lucy hadn’t seen him, he might have died in this dangerous manor.
This made Lucy reluctant to hit him.
“I’m not talking nonsense. I saw it clearly these days. After you got the scroll, you waited for another day before calling everyone over. In fact, you don’t want to give up this opportunity to be promoted to the third level, right?”
Kismet’s index finger gently slid on the strings, making a subtle and long sound.
“In fact, you also want to be a candidate, right? This is easy. I can help you kill one of them. Wouldn’t the position of the candidate be vacant?”
Kismet continued to approach, and his breath had already hit the woman’s forehead.
“Who do you want to die?”
“Luke?”
“Corey?”
“…Or Thor?”
