Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Explain with examples what a locator is

. Rum stretched out his hands and chanted a spell towards the small window.

The black window slammed shut, and the room immediately darkened a few degrees.

Then, the window stretched out and expanded directly to the entire outer wall of this “room”.

Thor looked at the changes in front of him and forgot to breathe for a moment.

Like opening a surprise gift box, the black window slowly tilted outward.

The sunlight penetrated into the room through the gap, and gradually expanded as the gap widened, pouring in little by little until it filled the entire room.

Thor felt that the sunlight was a little dazzling, but he couldn’t bear to blink.

Teacher Rum said beside him: “Go and take a look.”

Thor dragged his feet and tentatively approached the window, and the scenery outside came into view bit by bit.

In the farthest distance was the clear blue sky, and there were floating clouds drifting with the wind. The sun was just above his head, and the halo made Thor unable to look for long.

There were black peaks below the sky, rolling and undulating. Dense forests filled the gaps in the valley and extended to the nearby plains.

There were scattered villages and mountain roads in the forest. In the near distance, there was a flat wilderness, which was in full view, but no people or animals were seen.

The world was as peaceful as a painting.

“Hello, new world.” Thor greeted the world in his heart.

Suddenly, a clear cry broke the tranquility.

A black shadow passed overhead and flew into the distance.

Thor looked up and saw a huge bird, breaking through the wind and waves at a very fast speed and entering the clouds.

There seemed to be a person standing on the bird.

This change brought Thor back to his senses and he clearly realized again that what he saw was not a peaceful village in the distant mountains, but an abnormal world with wizards and high-end power.

“It looks good, look closer.” The advice of mentor Rum came from behind.

Thor’s sight slowly moved down, and the dark green wilderness gradually faded, and then brown-yellow land appeared, then turned into burnt yellow, and finally intertwined with black.

Looking down again, the ground a few dozen meters away from him was actually a swamp with bubbles constantly surging.

From time to time, bones and weeds were churned out by bubbles, and after a brief struggle, they sank into the mud.

There were several broken corpses floating on the surface.

Some were facing up, some were on their backs, and some were on their feet. They slowly floated under the churning of the mud.

Suddenly, a black tentacle covered with mud silently drilled out, rolled up a corpse, and slowly pulled it down.

The corpse naturally did not struggle, and could only slowly sink into the mud.

Thor watched the tentacle disappear, and in a trance, he also felt something cold and reptile brushing against his skin.

Where exactly is the Gorza Wizard Tower located? Why is there a quagmire with corpses and monsters under the tower?

Will the apprentices who learn wizard knowledge here eventually hide in the mud or ride the wind?

The beauty and tranquility all disappeared, and doubts and fears climbed into Thor’s heart.

The voice of mentor Rum came from behind again.

“Is it scary? Look at your feet again.”

Thor lowered his head and his pupils shrank suddenly.

He found that he didn’t know when he had stood at the edge of the black window.

Even most of the sole of his right foot was hanging in the air!

In the next second, he would fall and become one of the floating corpses in the mud.

Thor came to his senses, suddenly retracted his right foot, and retreated repeatedly, retreating to the innermost part of the room, and his back hit the wall with a “bang”.

Seeing Thor’s panic, Rum laughed twice.

He leaned forward, and a pool of flesh flowed onto Thor’s feet, which felt warm.

He stretched out his palm and covered Thor’s eyes.

“Beauty and fear are both tempting you to fall into the abyss, and the locator is like a black window, which can support your spiritual body when you are lost. But you have to pay attention that the locator can only delay your collapse. In the end, it is up to you to sort out your consciousness and wake up.”

When Rum put down his hand again, the room had been restored. The window on the outer wall turned into a small window of one meter square again, with black glass opening inward, and a beam of light came in…

Thor was very panicked just now.

He was not afraid of the birds flying in the distant mountains outside, nor was he afraid of the bones in the mud nearby.

What Thor was afraid of was that he still didn’t understand how he walked out of the window step by step.

In his memory, he clearly just leaned towards the window.

But this experience combined with the previous transformation also gave Thor a deeper understanding of the locator.

The locator helps wizards recognize their own existence so as not to get lost in the known and the unknown.

But its ability is ultimately limited. If you blindly rely on the locator and don’t control your own desires, one day you will be out of the protection range of the locator, fall into a pool of meat, or turn into something else.

At the same time, the locator is quite private information. If you are familiar with other people’s locators, you are likely to grasp the weak points of others. Therefore, it is taboo to casually inquire about the news of the locator.

Thor was immersed in self-summary, but Rum said faintly: “I personally explained half of the knowledge to you, and you are not my apprentice. Well, I’ll give you 10 credits.”

Teacher, you are robbing!

Thor opened his mouth wide.

“Or work for me for ten days?”

Thor closed his mouth again.

So they were waiting for him here.

He thought of the conversation between Teacher Kaz and Teacher Rumm when Teacher Kaz brought him here. At that time, they asked him to help Teacher Rumm.

In this case, Thor did not refuse.

But there was a premise that must be made clear.

“Teacher Rumm, I have only studied for three months. I don’t know what I can do.”

Rumm glared at him, “Now you think you are a newcomer? Look at what you have done. Is that what a newcomer should do?”

His stomach bulged like a toad.

“Go to the second laboratory on the fourteenth floor and find Nick. By the way, let him solve the evil spirit in you.”

This is business!

Thor immediately stood up solemnly, “Thank you, Teacher Rumm, I’ll go right over!”

This time he no longer hesitated, saluted Teacher Rumm and walked out.

When his hand was on the blind, Rumm’s voice came from behind him again.

“Before you advance to the second-level apprenticeship, you can think about it carefully. Choosing a major attribute that is not suitable for you is actually a very painful thing.”

Thor paused. Teacher Rum’s words seemed to be a bit emotional.

Could it be that Teacher Rum doesn’t like his current research direction?

Thor lifted the curtain and walked out. At the last moment, he looked back and glanced into the room.

The candlelight in the room seemed to be dimmed deliberately, with only a beam of light shining in.

Teacher Rum, who looked like a meat mountain, sat in the shadow of the room.

Everything was so blurry.

The heavy curtains soon stopped shaking, blocking Thor’s prying sight.

After leaving Teacher Rum’s room, Thor walked towards the laboratory in a hurry.

He felt that the nightmare matter could not be delayed. If there was no help from Teacher Rum today, he would also go to Senior Byron or others.

The good news at present is that in Teacher Rum’s view, solving this vengeful spirit is a trivial matter. He even disdains to take action and only lets a senior to help Thor.

“I hope that senior is easier to talk to.” Thor thought silently.

Thor left Rum’s room and walked quickly toward the ramp. The mentor’s floor was much quieter than the apprentice’s floor.

The three second-level apprentices who had just lined up at the door had disappeared.

Looking at the deserted corridor under the bright candlelight, Thor suddenly had a strange idea.

This wizard tower trapped servants and apprentices. Did it also trap others?

Is the only one who is truly free the owner of this tower, Gorza, the tower owner who was once nicknamed “Pink Big” by Thor?

When Thor met the tower owner today, he was wrapped in a brown-red cloak robe. The exposed chin showed that Gorza usually wrapped his whole body with pink silk bandages.

Can such a tower owner be free?
