Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 726

Chapter 716 The Real Inner City

After throwing Keli in an uninhabited town, Thor tidied his clothes and prepared to enter the inner city of Archaost.

The last time he came here, he accidentally discovered the existence of the Inverted Tree, and then was chased away by a bunch of branches and roots.

“So this time it can be regarded as a return home in glory. It shouldn’t be too much to ask to exchange some branches of the Inverted Tree?”

There was no one here who could make Thor teleport, so he followed the ordinary people to enter through the gate of the outer city.

This time he paid attention to disguise, and the ordinary wizard apprentices guarding the gate would definitely not recognize him.

But when Thor sneaked into the outer city, he looked around and didn’t know anyone.

He had also stayed here for more than half a year, but now the place has changed, and the people are different.

Now it is really different.

While sighing, Thor strolled in the outer city and observed for half an hour.

But after observing, he found a strange phenomenon.

There is only one entrance and exit between the outer city and the inner city. This entrance and exit is embedded in the mountain. It is the only place without water among the waterfalls in the inner city.

It is probably through the passage inside the mountain to enter the inner city.

But the gate of the entrance and exit is closed, as if no one is allowed to enter or leave.

There have been people coming and going near the passage in the outer city, but no one has entered.

Seeing that no one has entered, Thor knew that he should not be able to get in.

“Then use the second plan.” Thor approached the waterfall and looked up at the water vapor in front of him.

The concentration of magic elements here is very high, but there is no maintenance array. It is obviously a new witchcraft prop developed by the Archaeoster City.

Thor’s figure suddenly became transparent and merged with the waterfall in front of him.

Seeing Thor’s unfamiliar face, several wizard apprentices in the outer city kept watching Thor’s movements.

However, this group of people lost Thor’s trace in an instant.

Just when they realized that someone was trying to break into the inner city and were about to report it, a silver butterfly suddenly appeared in front of them.

The butterfly fluttered and swayed around each of them.

These apprentices suddenly forgot what they were going to do.

They looked at each other, wondering how they got together.

Although they were confused, they soon put aside their doubts and dispersed again because they each had a mission.

At this time, Thor had already flown into the air, waiting for the Nightmare Butterfly to return.

“Brother Thor, complete the mission.”

Thor took back Penny and thought, “We can’t take the normal passage. The surrounding passages seem to have no protection, but there must be traps in them. We can force our way in, but the inverted tree is a bit weird. Before finding its core, it’s best not to expose the power of the third level, so that it won’t run away directly.”

Whether the inverted tree ran away or hid deep in the earth, it was still difficult for Thor to track it.

Next, Thor moved forward carefully, avoiding every place that seemed to be a trap, and not disturbing the nearby magic fluctuations.

It took him almost twenty minutes to get through the short distance of more than ten meters.

At the last moment of crossing the protective barrier of the inner city, the resistance in front of Thor dropped sharply, and he stepped forward and successfully arrived in the inner city.

However, when he saw the scene in the inner city, even Thor, who thought he had seen a lot, was shocked.

The inner city of Archeston, where the Baidong College was located, looked like the end of the world!

The once tall buildings and wide roads were covered with a thick layer of dust.

The ground was full of broken parts and collapsed buildings.

Although the sunlight could penetrate the isolation and protection layer above the entire city, it could not change the gray tones here.

Thor took a step forward and stepped into the thick dust.

“This… should be near the high-rise building I rented before.”

But looking around, there were no buildings higher than ten floors. Most of them were ruins or debris lying directly on the ground.

“The fluctuations of magic here are extremely chaotic.” Penny couldn’t help but come out of the diary and flew around Thor for a few circles, taking in the miserable surroundings. “Even if we cast magic directly, it won’t attract other people’s attention.”

A black shadow emerged from Thor’s chest and turned into a young man.

He crossed his arms, “I doubt whether there are other people here!”

Thor put his cloak back into the storage device, leaving only the more slim-fitting black shirt and trousers.

He half squatted down and checked the dust on the ground.

“The thickness of the dust is more than a palm. Judging from the softness, almost no one has set foot here.”

Thor took off again and came to the top of the tallest building nearby, standing on a steel bar that was propped up outside.

Looking down at the earth from a high place, you can get more information.

Not only in the vicinity, but in the entire inner city as far as you can see, there are no buildings higher than ten stories.

“The whole inner city has become like this.”

Herman also flew beside Thor. “It looks like some violent force exploded in mid-air and directly destroyed the upper half of the city. The dust produced by the explosion directly covered all the buildings in the city with a layer of dust.”

Thor nodded. “Now the question is, when did the inner city become like this?”

Did the inner city become the ruins in front of us by accident? Or was it because it became a ruin and was artificially divided into the inner and outer cities?

Then do the people in the outer city know that the inner city has become like this?

Where are the people in the inner city?

When Thor was observing the outer city, he did not see any formal wizards. All positions were held by wizard apprentices.

And they were all newcomers.

“Goster, it seems that a huge change has really happened in Baidong College.” Thor

did not find any traces of the inverted tree, and the magic fluctuations in the inner city were chaotic, so he ordered Penny and Herman beside him.

“Go and look for survivors in the inner city separately.”

“Yes!” *2

The two people went to explore on the left and right.

Thor was not idle either. He jumped off the tall building and hovered half a meter above the ground, looking for possible survivors.

Or corpses.

But after searching the ground and the corridor for a long time, he didn’t see a single person.

Instead, he saw a lot of rotten food and dusty furniture.

Most of the homes were very tidy, without the mess caused by people fleeing in a chaotic manner.

“People should have evacuated in an orderly manner.”

Thor went in through a window and saw several plates of food that had turned green and black and could not be seen in their original appearance on the dining table.

He opened the storage cabinet and saw a lot of food and drinks inside. There were also some locked cabinets with silver coins and archaeological banknotes.

“When evacuating, these people probably didn’t know that they would never come back. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken away even the necessities and money.”

An hour later, Thor, Penny, and Herman met again on the roof of a tall building near the city center.

“Did you find anything?” Thor asked them.

Herman shook his head, “It’s like no one has ever lived here. Not even a finger can be found.”

Penny brought back good news.

“I didn’t see any human figures either. It’s as if the people here disappeared out of thin air. However, I sensed that there are active dreams in the city center.”

Dreams?

If there are dreams, there should be living people.

Thor immediately decided, “Let’s go to the city center!”
