Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 742

Chapter 732: Be bold

When Beth was ready to sacrifice the entire city of Archaster, she decided to flee the western region with her confidants.

Since no one was staying here, she naturally didn’t care what impact this sacrifice would have on the entire western region of the continent.

However, just as she deceived more and more people, a small accident, a small negligence, caused the entire sacrifice to stagnate.

This small accident was naturally the wizard Char, who had long been captured by Beth and whose spirit was controlled by the inverted tree.

After listening to Char’s story, Thor looked up and down at the spirit in front of him, “How… did you do it?”

Char: “This is my secret weapon, I can’t tell you.”

Thor didn’t embarrass him, “Okay, anyway, my target is not you. But there is one thing you must tell me, why are you in this state now?”

Char became irritable, as if he was uncomfortable introducing his hidden dangers to others.

But thinking of his own situation, he quickly gave the answer.

“After my soul was sucked into the Inverted Tree, although I barely maintained my independent consciousness, I had to obey Beth’s command in many actions. I was also careful not to be exposed, and only occasionally did I do something of my own to maintain my self-identity.”

“Later, when I realized that the entire Inverted Tree was actually absorbing the souls of the residents in the city, I knew I had to find a way to leave here. As long as I am trapped here, I will one day become the nutrients of Beth and the Inverted Tree like those absorbed souls.”

“So I planned to take away a key node in her magic circle when Beth ran to the center of the Inverted Tree again in a few months, and escape immediately when she was trapped by the backlash of the magic circle.”

“You are so brave!” Kate stretched out her cat claws to Xia, “Even though Beth is already a spirit, she was once a powerful third-level wizard. You just destroyed the magic circle casually and really trapped her!”

Thor looked at Xia and pursed his lips and ignored it, knowing that there was a secret.

“What’s next?” Thor asked.

Char then skipped the most critical point, “Later, in order to prevent me from escaping, Beth actually launched her sacrifice in advance, and directly pulled in all the people in the inner city to help her stabilize her spirit.”

“So now the entire inner city has turned to ashes?” Thor crossed his arms across his chest, “The soul was extracted and the body turned to ashes.”

“Almost,” Char said, “Because she absorbed a large number of spirits before she was ready, she is trapped now and can’t come out to catch me, but if she can control herself, she will definitely come over and tear me into pieces.”

Char’s expression was solemn, obviously afraid of Beth’s threat.

“Then why can’t you leave the Inverted Tree now? Since you have made so many preparations, you must know how to leave, right?”

“Of course I know, but I won’t tell you until you help me get rid of the imprisonment.”

“Didn’t I say that I will help you heal and you will help me find the seeds. The imprisonment on you is also a disease for you, so I will naturally help you heal.”

Seeing Char’s excited and vigilant look, Thor added fuel to the fire, “But anyway, you have to help me get the seeds of the Inverted Tree, why not set a bigger goal when you act?”

Char immediately began to doubt Thor’s purpose, “What are you going to do? Don’t try to deceive me, here, I can kick you all out at any time!” Thor

chuckled, not caring about Char’s threats at all, and continued to bewitch, “Anyway, you are only a spirit now, which is equivalent to being dead. Even if you escape from the Inverted Tree, you are just lingering. Why not go find Beth and take away her Inverted Tree while she is trapped… How about it?”

“Click!” Kate heard the sound of her cat’s chin falling to the ground again.

Kate turned her head and looked at Thor in a daze.

Just now he thought that Char was a fool for scheming against a third-level wizard, but now Thor was a madman in his eyes.

“You are crazy!” Char directly said what Kate was thinking, “You want to find a way to escape, and then trick me into dying!”

“I can wait until you get the seeds of the Inverted Tree before leaving.”

Char still didn’t believe it, “Then you want to do something bad while I am stealing the seeds of the Inverted Tree.”

Thor’s heart skipped a beat, thinking, “This guy’s guess is pretty accurate.”

But he remained calm, “Then let me ask you, will you take me to the core of the Inverted Tree?”

Char was stunned and immediately shook his head, “Impossible!”

Thor spread his hands, “Then how do you think I’m going to do something bad?”

Without waiting for Char to think, Thor continued to add, “I can help you heal now, can’t you drive us out at any time? After I finish the treatment, you can help me get the seeds, how about it?”

Char was still hesitant, “Will you be so kind to help me heal first?”

“The spirit is your own, can’t you tell the good from the bad?”

Char was still hesitating.

Thor frowned. Is such an indecisive and fearful Char really the right person?

Suddenly, the whole house shook violently, and the pendants on the table and overhead shattered to the ground.

Several thick branches drilled out of the wall, winding up, and soon wrapped up the walls around the entire room.

“Meow! What is this? How did the tree roots get here?” Kate immediately ran to the center of the room.

A flash of panic flashed across Char’s face, but he did not surrender or resist. Instead, he turned into a ball of light again, and the white light once again engulfed Thor and Kate.

When the light faded, Thor found that they had come to another place.

He had never been here before, and it must be another secret base of Char.

“You really don’t have much time.” Thor was a little grateful for the tree roots that had just appeared. “Are you willing to make this deal? Don’t waste other people’s time.”

Char knew that Thor was right.

After all, he was Beth’s puppet. Even if he got rid of her control for a short time, he would be controlled by her again after Beth recovered.

Under the mixture of tension and fear, Thor’s proposal, which he had just regarded as a scourge, gradually became a fatal temptation.

“If, if we can snatch the inverted tree…” Char seemed to be afraid, or perhaps excited, and his whole body was shaking.

“If I can become the master of the upside-down tree, I won’t have to run away.”

Thor nodded with relief, “Not only do you not have to run away, you also have the hope of resurrection.”

Char suddenly looked up at Thor.

“You are a very talented wizard. What Beth can do, can’t you do it?”

Char’s breathing immediately became heavy, although he didn’t need to breathe for a long time.

“Okay!”

Finally, Char agreed to Thor’s devilish proposal.

“Help me heal now, I’m afraid those tree roots will come soon. This is a sign that Beth is gradually recovering, and we don’t have much time.”
