Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Knowledge? Monster?

Fortunately, later on, Teacher Monica explained the method of semi-immersion meditation in detail to everyone.

Even Thor, a newcomer who learned semi-immersion meditation on his own, gained a lot of insights from it.

When he entered semi-immersion before, he always used it to observe pollution and abnormalities. But in Teacher Monica’s explanation, semi-immersion meditation is actually a temporary means to stabilize the spirit body and replenish magic power urgently.

When Thor was in danger in Teacher Kaz’s laboratory, he used semi-immersion meditation to stabilize his spirit body.

But after that, he almost used meditation to discover alienated materials and almost forgot its original purpose.

Thor’s magic power has been significantly improved compared to three months ago. Now using full immersion meditation can no longer quickly restore all magic power, let alone semi-immersion.

But the advantage of semi-immersion is that it starts quickly, and the magic power restored in a short period of time is higher than immersion meditation.

But this meditation method that relies only on oneself and does not use auxiliary tools is not so easy to master.

It requires the apprentice to be familiar with his own meditation map and to be proficient in the use of mental power.

If you just use your mental power according to the lines in the picture every time you meditate, you will immediately fall into a maze of memories that seems to be like this, but it seems not to be like this after you put down the book.

After most of the new apprentices began to try semi-immersive meditation, Monica wandered around the classroom doing nothing.

Occasionally, an old apprentice would ask some questions.

Some she answered, and some she just smiled without saying anything.

When Monica walked by, Thor also raised his hand and asked a question.

“Teacher Monica, are the meditation diagrams for first-level apprentices and second-level apprentices different? Or do they need to be familiar with different meditation diagrams at each stage?”

“Second-level apprentices have at least learned a first-level sorcery. Their spiritual bodies are strong enough to withstand more dangerous meditation diagrams. They can choose to change meditation diagrams.” Monica faced Thor again, and had restored her original smile. “But when you become third-level apprentices, you won’t need meditation diagrams.”

“No need?” Thor was stunned, but he quickly reacted. “Location device?”

Monica raised her eyebrows. “It seems that you have really learned a lot of advanced knowledge. This is good, but it is also dangerous.” Monica

stretched out a finger and gently tapped Thor’s forehead.

“Snap!”

An arc flashed.

Thor was startled and immediately dodged backwards, but his forehead still hurt.

“Learning too much knowledge beyond your current ability, you must be prepared to bear the corresponding risks behind the knowledge.”

After speaking, Monica put her hands behind her back and continued to move forward, leaving Thor to cover his forehead and think alone.

Almost all seniors and mentors have mentioned that wizards will encounter unknown dangers on the way to pursue knowledge.

At first, Thor thought that when learning complex knowledge, his brain, or his spiritual experience, was dizzy and collapsed because of the complex and profound knowledge.

But now thinking about it, it seems to be more than that.

This gave him the illusion that knowledge is actually a monster.

Unfortunately, no one came to answer this question.

Thor was thinking about this question until the class was over, he had lunch, and came to the second floor of the East Tower.

However, before entering the morgue, he met Teacher Kaz again.

“Teacher?” Thor was a little strange. Normally, Teacher Kaz would not appear so frequently.

Recently, he has seen the teacher a little more frequently.

“As the first place in the test, you can choose a companion flower. I will take you.” After Kaz finished speaking, he turned his hands behind his back and left without waiting for Thor to answer.

Thor followed him in confusion.

The reward of companion flowers was first mentioned by Senior Luo Kai.

Because the other party was the apparent leader of the mutual aid association, Thor did not want to have too many intersections with him, so he did not take the companion flowers to heart.

Unexpectedly, the instructor would actually take him to pick the companion flowers in person.

While following behind Instructor Kaz, Thor took out “Basic Cognition of All Things” from his backpack and searched in the Plants section.

Companion Flower: It can establish a blood connection with a living being and die after bearing fruit. The fruits it bears are of various kinds, with different functions, mainly to increase magic power slightly and stabilize mental strength.

A few words of introduction made Thor have certain expectations for the companion flower.

Increasing magic power may become a topic that Thor will study forever.

Then, Thor found that he and Instructor Kaz turned into a passage they had never seen before.

This seems to be the fifth floor of the East Tower, which belongs to the warehouse and is not a place that apprentices can enter at will.

After Thor turned in with Kaz, he passed the warehouse door, continued to move forward, and turned into another intersection. As he walked, the road began to slope downward.

This time they walked down for a long time.

Thor stuffed the books back into his backpack and looked forward curiously.

The gray stone bricks were gradually covered with dust, and the candles on both sides became sparser and older.

One of the lampstands was actually broken and drooped diagonally on the wall.

This was a situation that had never happened in the tower.

In his impression, the wizard tower was always clean and tidy, and there were always people who carefully cared for everything in the tower.

Thor began to guess where the companion flower was.

After all, it was a plant, and most of it lived in the soil.

And the land in the wizard tower was limited… Could the companion flower be outside?

Thor’s heart gradually lifted up, and he was looking forward to it, but also afraid to look forward to it. He

was afraid that what he would wait for in the end would be disappointment.

But this time life finally did not let him down.

After going down a distance, Thor saw a wooden door with a metal frame, wide open to the outside.

None of the candles nearby were lit, but it was not dark here at all.

An extremely bright but gentle light shone in from outside the door, forming a strong contrast with the pale candlelight.

Teacher Kaz walked here, paused, turned around and said to Thor, who had stretched his neck and started to look around, “Calm down, don’t act like an ignorant monkey.”

Thor immediately shrank his neck.

But his eyes were still shining.

“Teacher, are we going to leave the tower?”

“Don’t make a fuss. When you reach level 2, you will have many opportunities to leave the tower. I don’t let you leave the tower now because I don’t want your hearts to be disturbed by the outside world and you won’t study hard.”

Kaz glared at Thor, always feeling that this young apprentice would embarrass him.

As he got closer and closer to the door to the tower, Thor recalled a picture in his mind.

It was the terrible scene he saw at Teacher Rum’s place: charred land, bubbling mud, scattered corpses, and black unknown tentacles…

Could that be the scene at the bottom of the tower? A place like purgatory.

Teacher Kaz’s figure had disappeared behind the door. Thor took a deep breath and took a step outside.

Even though it was scary, it was still fascinating.

However…

a breeze blew across my face, bringing with it the smell of damp grass.

Behind the gate of the wizard tower, there was actually a flat piece of land.

There was no dark mud, only light yellow soil.

Under my feet was a specially repaired road that extended in all directions to facilitate people’s travel.

Above my head was still the blue sky, and in the distance were still green mountains and dense forests. Everything had not turned into a hell on earth nearby.

Not far from the road was a garden, simply separated by a wooden fence. A small wooden house was built at the entrance of the garden, and a person could be vaguely seen sitting inside.

Through the fence, I could see many branches of various colors swaying in the wind in the garden. It just looked a little messy, not like it was carefully arranged.

A sound of horse hooves and wheels rang out.

Thor turned his head to look, and saw a two-horse carriage approaching quickly from afar, driving along another avenue.

That avenue led to the wizard tower from another direction.

The carriage was soon blocked by the high wall of the wizard tower and disappeared behind the tower.

“That’s the entrance for vehicles.” Seeing Thor stop and look into the distance, Kaz explained.

Thor nodded, shifted his sight, and the surrounding scenery came into view.

The wizard tower stood in an uninhabited wilderness. Only in the distance could there be shadows of other villages. I wonder if ordinary people were deliberately driven away.

But although there were not many people here, it was not as scary as in the illusion, just a little lonely.

Thor couldn’t help but wonder, “The scene I saw at the beginning, was it Teacher Rum scaring me, or was it my imagination?”
