Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 732
Chapter 722 Scavenging
Keli’s question made Duoze silent again.
After a while, the other party replied weakly in a low voice: “Lord Keli, going to sea… is too dangerous for me.”
Seeing that Keli didn’t speak, he plucked up the courage to defend himself.
“In fact, it’s not just me. Almost all the third-level apprentices who followed Teacher Kaz chose to stay. When Teacher Kaz left, there was only one third-level apprentice and several second-level apprentices by his side.”
Keli sighed. This was everyone’s own choice, and she couldn’t interfere.
At this time, perhaps because the carriage had been parked for a long time, the curtain was opened a little, and several pairs of eyes were hiding behind it and peeking.
Keli saw it and changed the subject, “What are you doing now? Working for Baidong Academy? Or have you joined a wizard organization?”
“I’m alone now. I don’t join an organization here, I work directly for the city of Archaeoster. The people behind are refugees I brought back from the border between Kema and Knas.”
Keli raised her eyebrows, “Kidnapped people from the Principality of Kema?”
Population is a big deal for every country. Doze, a second-level apprentice, should not dare to secretly abduct people in private.
“No, Lady Keli.” Doze knew that Keli came from a noble family in the Principality of Kma, and he quickly explained, “Kma and Knas have been experiencing small-scale wars in recent years, and the number of refugees and slaves has been growing. This is the population I bought from there, and I have obtained permission from the local lord.”
Doze also showed Keli the license certificate hidden on his body.
Keli knew that Grand Duke Kira did not want the population of Kma to continue to decrease, but she was powerless to stop the lords on the border from buying and selling people.
But Keli didn’t understand, “What does the city of Guaster need so many refugees for?”
Obviously, the nearby towns have been emptied by Guaster. Why are they still buying people?
“This, I don’t know. I’m just responsible for sending people to the outer city.” Doze continued to lower his head and said.
“Forget it, don’t think about these things. Anyway, the position of the marquis has been given to my brother.” Keli pouted and didn’t want to ask any more questions.
“Then I won’t waste your time, go and get busy.”
After saying that, Keli flew back to the big rock where she was meditating just now, sitting upright with her eyes closed.
Doze quickly bent down and bowed again.
Then he returned to the carriage and continued on his way.
Keli’s location was not far from the outer city of Guoster. After Doze continued on his way, he passed through the outer city gate and entered the outer city.
After entering the outer city, he followed the previous route and came to an office. He found a third-level apprentice, handed the things in the carriage to him, and got a small bag of magic mirrors.
But before leaving, Doze suddenly remembered Keli whom he met today.
The red-haired freckled girl had grown up to be a graceful lady. If it weren’t for the familiar mental power fluctuations, Doze would not dare to recognize her at all. Although
Keli’s mental power was familiar, the intensity almost made him breathless.
Thinking that the other party had at least advanced to a formal wizard, while he was still a second-level apprentice, Doze’s heart, which had shrunk for many years, was suddenly awakened.
He gritted his teeth and stopped the third-level apprentice who was about to leave.
“Senior, we have introduced so many people, why don’t they appear in the outer city?”
Who knew that the face of the third-level apprentice opposite him suddenly sank, and the originally kind smile disappeared.
“Why, are you curious? If you are really curious, I can let you take them there.”
Duoze’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knew that the destination of these refugees must be very complicated. He smiled and said, “No, I just asked casually. Go ahead and do your work. I won’t bother you anymore.” Duoze
was so scared that he left immediately.
The third-level apprentice who stayed in the office snorted coldly and watched him leave.
After leaving, Doze thought about it and ran to the trading center. He used the magic crystals he had saved up these days to buy a magic book.
Holding the expensive book that had passed through countless hands, he thought silently: “I don’t want to be promoted to a formal wizard, but a third-level apprentice should be fine, right?”
…
Thor picked up a broken book from the dust and shook off the dust carefully.
This is a witchcraft notebook.
It looks like it has been through a lot.
Although Thor shook it carefully, a few pages of the book were still shaken to the ground along with the dust.
After leaving the small building where Wizard Jonah was, Thor did not immediately head to Baidong College, but wandered around the college as if he was not doing his job.
Sometimes he would pick up some books left by wizards like now, and sometimes he would stay in a room for a while.
This time, the book he picked up was a witchcraft notebook for a formal wizard. It was hand-bound and very thick, but the magic mark on it had disappeared.
“Some experimental experience, you can take it back to the newcomers of the wizard tower for research.” Thor picked up the pages that fell on the ground, stuffed them back, and then put them into his storage device.
“It seems that the radiation of the disaster that broke out in the inner city was quite large, and these simple witchcraft books and witchcraft arrays have been scrapped.” Penny was also flying in the room to help Thor find useful materials.
On the other side, Herman put down the several glass bottles in his hand, turned back and said to Thor helplessly: “Master, the materials here are all contaminated and deteriorated, and they can’t be used.”
“This is normal. The protection measures for materials placed outside are generally not very good. See if there are any secret rooms or something like that. It is difficult to find clues in physical secret rooms through mental scanning.”
Herman nodded, then found a wall and crashed into it.
His spiritual identity was very useful at this time. Without magic power, physical facilities could basically not stop him.
Thor continued to look for the notes and books of the original owner, but when he was looking, he found that these things seemed to have been moved.
The thickness of the dust on the bookshelf was different.
“Brother Thor, Brother Thor!” Penny flew to a corner and suddenly flew back.
Thor thought Penny had made some new discovery, but he heard her excitedly say, “I found another living person!”
“Oh?” Thor became interested. “Where are they?”
Penny said, “There are two people, and they are consciously hiding their existence, so I found their dreams.”
“To be able to consciously hide their existence, they are either wizards like Jonah, but in better condition than him, or other intruders.”
The defense of the inner city of Archaster is very strict, but it is also loose.
It relies entirely on witchcraft arrays for protection, without human intervention. Once a wizard like Thor who finds a way can find a loophole to come in.
“There must be more people interested in Archaster than us. Maybe these people will know what happened in the inner city.”
Thor raised his hand and pulled back Herman who was running around in the house, then put away the nightmare butterfly, flew out of the room directly, and flew towards the place where Penny found the living person.
Along the way, Thor deliberately restrained his magic fluctuations and maintained it at around the second level.
His approach soon aroused the vigilance of the two targets.
But what surprised Thor was that the first person to attack him was actually a… cat?
