Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 753
Chapter 743: Pentagram 1
Bestana murmured, “Do I have a second way to go?”
Bestana’s state was a little off. Her voice was muffled, as if she was speaking in a box.
Her mood was extremely negative. Although the sacrifices from the outside world were still causing tragedy, she seemed to believe that she could not be resurrected.
But this was completely inconsistent with her decisive move to initiate the city-wide sacrifice. Just now
, when she was about to drag Thor and Char to die together, she was still determined. When she heard Thor say that there was a second way, it seemed that all the strength in her body was drained.
“Anyway, except to believe in me, you have no other way, right?”
Bestana’s eyes rolled reluctantly, “If I believe you, I will only become your experimental subject.”
“Of course, there is a price to pay for the transaction, but it is different from the experimental subject you imagined. You can survive rationally, but your freedom is limited. However, I can promise that after you have served me for a hundred years, I will set you free.”
Bestana was still hesitating, and Thor had already used his mental power to quietly explore the other party’s situation.
He had to be careful of what Bestana was doing in secret. At the same time, the other party’s hesitant, fragile and sensitive state was really unlike that of a third-level wizard.
At this time, when his mental power swept over a shadow tightly wrapped by roots behind Bestana, his mental power suddenly felt a burning sensation, as if it was burned by something.
“What is that?” Thor was curious.
Who knew that Bestana would answer him directly, “It’s a wishing candle.”
“Wishing candle?” Thor had never heard of this thing, but why did Bestana really answer him?
Could it be that this guy has gone crazy?
After being reminded by Thor, Bestana remembered the wishing candle she had just received from Char.
“This thing is useless to me.” She handed a white candle to Thor with a branch, “And I have to bear the cost of using it.”
Thor’s mental power first swept over this ordinary-looking candle, and then took the candle.
At this moment, the candle suddenly lit up with a “chi”.
At the same time, Thor’s heart moved, and he opened his left hand, and a dark red thick leather book appeared in his palm.
[May 15, 320th year of the New Moon Calendar, sunny .
Wishing candle,
cursed object.
Every time the candle is lit,
you can make a wish.
It will summon a prop from the void to help you realize your wish,
but it is not responsible for ensuring that your wish can be realized.
However, as the person who makes a wish and blows out the candle,
one of your negative emotions will be amplified.
The harder the wish is to realize,
the stronger your negative emotions will be.
Until your soul is completely twisted and
finally becomes the wick of the candle.]
Thor looked at Char, who was still unconscious beside him, and Bestana, who had lost her fighting spirit in front of him, and finally understood how the abnormalities in their personalities were caused.
Bestana’s amplified emotion should be despair.
As for Char…
maybe it’s paranoia?
Bestana has been staring at the diary since the Death Wizard Day appeared in Thor’s palm.
Thor closed the diary and directly pressed a corner of the hardcover book against Bestana’s remaining face.
“You don’t have time. If you agree to the deal, then relax and don’t resist. If you don’t agree, let’s fight to the death.”
After saying that, Thor used the Diary of the Dead Wizard to absorb Bestana’s soul without waiting for Beth to consider.
After all, Bestana was once a third-level wizard, and she is not completely dead at present. If she resists, the diary may not be able to absorb her spirit.
But the diary was only slightly blocked, and soon absorbed Bestana’s soul and turned into Thor’s fifth black page.
The roots that lost Bestana completely turned the last bit of her body into tree roots.
At the same time, the inverted tree without a controller began to grow wildly, and almost in just a few seconds, Thor and Char beside him were all rolled in.
The space in the heart of the tree was also shaking unstably.
Without Bestana’s control, the inverted tree began to grow at will according to its mood.
If it can no longer be controlled, it may evolve into a terrifying third-level monster that devours people’s souls everywhere.
“Wake up, it’s your turn next!” Thor swung the unconscious Char, turned it twice in the air, and threw it hard into the center where Bestana had just been.
Char suddenly opened his eyes before being thrown into the heart of the tree. It seemed that he had been pretending to be unconscious just now. As a result, Thor didn’t even ask him and was going to throw him into the Inverted Tree.
Poor Char didn’t say a word before he was sucked into the Inverted Tree that suddenly lost its core.
But he really needed the Inverted Tree. Although he was angry in his heart, he still stayed in the tree and stabilized.
Char opened his eyes, “I…”
He just said a word, and was shocked to see Thor waving his fist to hit him.
“You do…”
He also failed to finish his words. Char was once again attracted by the red light beam on Thor’s fist.
Char’s vision immediately turned red, and even his consciousness fell into a brief stagnation.
This stagnation did not last long. It seemed that in just a blink of an eye, the dazzling red light disappeared.
When Char saw everything clearly again, Thor was standing in front of him, holding a dark red hardcover book in his hand, with elegant movements and calm temperament.
It was as if the one who had just swung his fist to hit someone was not him at all.
“What did you do just now? Did you bury some explosives in my body? Or did you curse me?”
Thor was not surprised by Char’s series of questions.
But he did not pay attention to him immediately, but waited until he was sure that Keli’s auxiliary magic circle had been connected to Char, and then he looked up, “This is my attempt to transform, and it is also a way to ensure that you will not follow Bestana’s old path in the future.”
Char was still in the core of the Inverted Tree at this time, without even a body of his own.
Although he was bewitched by Thor to steal Bestana’s Inverted Tree to rely on for his own resurrection.
But in fact, he did not have a clear plan for how to resurrect himself.
A powerful third-level wizard like Bestana could not use the Inverted Tree to revive. Can
he, a first-level wizard – although he thinks he is a genius – really do what a third-level wizard cannot do?
Right now, he could only trust Thor.
Thor knew that Char still didn’t trust him. If he hadn’t been parasitized by Star Eyes, Kongpao would have already run to another part of the Inverted Tree to avoid Thor.
Thor took out the wishing candle, which was not extinguished yet, as if tempting Thor to make a wish quickly.
But Thor didn’t make a wish, but returned it to Char.
Char looked at Thor in disbelief. He thought no one could resist the temptation of the wishing candle, but Thor didn’t make a wish and gave him the candle.
“Can you move now? If not, I can keep this candle for you first.”
Char hurriedly tried his best, and finally manipulated two slender and soft roots to take the candle back from Thor.
But even after getting the candle, he still felt unreal.
“Why don’t you want the wishing candle that everyone is rushing to get?”
“Is it really a good thing to be cursed to lose part of your sanity every time you make a wish? As a wizard, being able to control your own brain and sanity is the most important thing.”
After reading the diary’s introduction to the wishing candle, Thor decided not to use this candle.
There is no golden finger more important than a wizard’s brain.
But Thor was interested in something else.
“I’ll give you the candle back. In return, you give me the crystal bottle.”
Char was stunned for a moment. He didn’t know how Thor knew about the crystal bottle, even though he was not in the space at that time.
“I can give it to you, but I’m not sure what the bottle of water is for. You need to study it yourself.”
Char struggled to use a branch to bring the crystal bottle to Thor.
Thor watched Char move with difficulty.
“Looking at your condition, it will take a long time for you to adapt… But I can’t always watch you in the tree core space.”
After taking back the most important wishing candle, Char calmed down a lot. He was finally able to say rationally: “What do you need me to do?”
“Stop the sacrifice to the outside world, retract all the branches, and make a bigger noise.”
Char didn’t know what Thor was going to do, but now he was on the same boat with Thor, so he could only say: “I’ll try my best.”
