Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 88

Chapter 88 Exposed

Thor did not wait for Kong Sha’s answer.

He did not really expect to get an answer.

After leaving Kong Sha’s room, he continued to go up, passing through the dark corridor, ignoring the whispers coming from the darkness in the distance, and he went straight to the fourteenth floor of the West Tower.

Dormitory 1416.

This is the new home of Senior Byron.

Wizard apprentices can choose to move to the corresponding floor after being promoted, or they can choose not to move if they find it troublesome.

But most people choose to move, after all, the hardware facilities are very different.

Today is the first time Thor came to Byron’s dormitory to find him, and it was late at night. I wonder if Senior Byron is sleeping.

You can’t expect all apprentices to be night owls like Kong Sha.

Thor knocked on the door three times gently, then put down his hand and planned to wait for a while.

However, the next second, the dormitory door opened automatically inwards.

“Huh?” Thor leaned in and took a look, but he didn’t see anyone in the living room.

He walked in.

The living room was very messy, as if the owner had gone to sleep halfway through the move. There were many boxes open, and the things inside had not been taken out. There were also some boxes stacked high, blocking the whole view of the room.

“Senior, Senior Byron?”

No one responded.

Thor thought that Senior Byron should not be here. After all, with the mental strength of a third-level apprentice, it is impossible for him to sleep until now without being awakened.

No one was there, but the dormitory door was not locked. Could it be that the door was left specially for him?

Thor took two steps forward, “traversing mountains and rivers”, and finally found the laboratory table hidden behind the big box.

The laboratory table was also very messy, with countless things placed on it. But in the middle of the table, a palm-sized blank area was deliberately left empty, and a letter was placed on it.

The letter said “Only Thor can read it”.

“The handwriting is still so ugly.” Thor shook his head and sighed, picked up the letter and unfolded it.

The letter said:

Only Thor can touch this paper. If anyone else touches it, don’t read it, and go to detoxify quickly. You have 10 days left to live.

9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, …

Thor, I have received the first mission of the third-level apprentice. I need to go out for a while. During this period, I owe you eight credits. If you are in a hurry,

you can use the red potion on the table to deduct it. If you are not in a hurry, wait for me to come back and continue to repay. Unfortunately, I don’t have many friends in the wizard tower, and no one owes me credits, so I can’t entrust you to others to take care of you. Please take good care of yourself.

I hope I can see you alive when I come back. If you die, the eight credits will be written off. I also hope that I can successfully complete the first mission and come back alive. If you are afraid that I will die, you can also take the bottle of red potion first as collateral.

Nothing else, goodbye.

By the way, if the other people who took this letter are your friends, you can tell them that the letter is not poisonous and there is no need to find an antidote. If not, then forget it.

I still owe you eight credits, Byron.

After reading the letter, Thor couldn’t help laughing.

He had clearly not told Senior Byron about the countdown joke. He didn’t know how he came up with it. He looked stupid, but sometimes he was strangely smart.

He originally wanted to ask Senior Byron about the spirit ester, but now it seemed that there was no way to ask. He could only hope that Senior Byron would return safely.

Sol did not move the red potion, leaving it standing on the table. He did not check what the potion was, for fear that he could not help himself.

Sol destroyed the letter and left the dormitory that looked like a garbage dump.

After returning to the corridor, the dormitory door closed automatically again. Sol believed that it would not open easily again this time.

“Senior Byron has left too. It seems that I can only ask Senior Mark tomorrow. Although he knows that I have undergone a witch body transformation, he is not clear about the materials involved. He should not associate spirit ester with it.”

Sol turned around and prepared to go back to sleep.

At this moment, he suddenly saw his shadow on the ground, as if there was something more.

A thin and long object flashed behind his neck.

Sol immediately became alert, stopped, and prepared spells and potions.

He raised his left hand and slowly touched his neck.

At the same time, he paid attention to the shadow on the ground.

Until his hand pressed on the skin behind his neck, Thor did not touch anything strange.

The shadow on the ground did not change in any other way.

“Is it my illusion, or has that thing left?”

Thor entered into semi-immersive meditation again, and scanned the surroundings, but did not find any abnormal spirits.

But he did not relax, but remained highly alert and slowly left the dormitory area for third-level apprentices. He did not breathe a sigh of relief

until he entered his own dormitory.

“Sure enough, it is still very dangerous to walk in the tower at night. Now Kongsha and Byron are not in the tower, so don’t go out in the middle of the night in the future.”

…

After lunch the next day, Thor hurried to the laboratory of Professor Kaz, wanting to find Senior Mark to buy common sense.

Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard the sound of conversation coming from inside.

“…It’s good that you can endure hardships like this. If your uncle had worked harder, he wouldn’t have left the wizard tower at the age of 30.”

“I will continue to work hard, Senior Cole. Um, can I do experiments with you?”

“Okay, anyway, you have been doing experiments here with Mark before, so you should have experience. It also saves me from looking for assistants everywhere.”

“Thank you so much, Senior Cole!”

“You’re welcome. I will feel much better doing experiments with such a cute girl like you.”

Hearing this, Thor walked in and saw the second-level apprentice named Cole, with one hand on Angela’s shoulder.

Cole was slightly fat, but his face was full of warm smiles. He looked very gentle.

Angela was still smiling, as if she didn’t notice anything wrong.

Seeing someone coming in, Cole naturally withdrew his hand and nodded to Thor.

“This is Teacher Kaz’s laboratory. What can I do for you?”

“Hello, senior, I want to find Senior Mark. Is he not here?”

Angela reminded Cole softly.

Cole raised his eyebrows, and then his smile became even brighter.

“So you are Thor, the first-level apprentice that the mentor values the most.” He walked towards Thor, “He has gone out for training, and now I have taken over Mark’s original job. You can ask me if you have any questions.”

The other party looked very enthusiastic.

Thor politely expressed his gratitude.

“Thank you, senior, but I came to find senior Mark to return something to him. Since he is out, I will wait for him to come back. I will go back first, senior goodbye.”

Cole was a little disappointed to see Thor leave so quickly, but he did not stop him, just invited him to come often when he was free.

Thor said a few perfunctory words, glanced at Angela who was standing silently behind Cole, and left the laboratory.

Back in the corridor, Thor was a little confused. He did not expect that overnight, the three seniors he was familiar with had all left the wizard tower.

Next, he could only go to the library to find a needle in a haystack.

There were very few people in the library. Whether they came to borrow books or return books, they were all in a hurry and did not want to stay any longer.

As soon as Thor walked into the library, he found that the anxious middle-aged man who had been sitting on the left was not there.

Did someone accidentally touch the “holographic image” again?

“Are you here to borrow a book?” A very arrogant voice came from the right.

Thor turned his head and saw a young man of about 18 or 19 looking at him with his chin up and eyes down.

“If you want to borrow a book, go in. If you don’t want to borrow a book, get out.”

After a closer look, the arrogant young man looked 90% similar to the anxious middle-aged man before.
