Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 99

Chapter 99: The Mosheng Fruit and the Wandering Apprentice

That night, Thor slept in Ada’s room.

He slept on the table, Ada slept on the bed, and Penny slept in the cabinet.

Each of the three occupied a place.

Perhaps the interaction between Thor and Penny in the evening stimulated Ada, so he deliberately found a hemp rope and tied it between the table and the bed. He did not cover the quilt and hung it on top as a door curtain.

Thor did not fall asleep. When the night enveloped the earth and the surroundings were silent, he slowly opened his eyes.

He gently jumped off the table and lifted Ada’s worn quilt.

The person inside was already asleep.

Ada rolled to the side of the bed at some point, with one hand and one leg stretched out of the wooden bed.

Thor sat on the edge of the wooden bed and gently opened the large cabinet above.

This time the cabinet door did not make any sound.

Silent Portal, a very simple 0th-level witchcraft.

In the cabinet, young Penny was already asleep, and her sleeping posture was much more honest than her brother.

Perhaps it was because she slept in the cabinet all year round.

But Sol carefully observed Penny’s eyes and found that her eyelids were moving all the time, and very intensely.

This is the sign of a person dreaming.

Penny’s face looked very bad, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, her lips were pursed very tightly, her hands and feet were curled up together, and she was sleeping very insecurely.

Sol immediately entered a semi-immersive meditation and observed Penny.

But she was very clean, and there was no other abnormality – including her eyes.

Sol reached out and gently touched Penny’s eyes, and then touched his own hand back, and felt that there was no difference.

If it weren’t for the diary’s endorsement, Sol would not have seen anything else except that these eyes were beautiful.

But things that can make the diary fancy are all of considerable value.

Should I take Penny’s eyes away?

Sol has a way to safely take out Penny’s eyes.

Anyway, the other party has already lost sight.

But he finally withdrew his hand and closed the cabinet door again.

At this time, Ada turned over and turned back from the edge of the wooden bed to the center.

Sol jumped off the wooden bed and left here directly.

In the middle of the night, the full moon was hanging high, without cumulus clouds.

Under the slanting moonlight, the town was illuminated slightly.

For Thor, this light was enough.

“It seemed to be a new moon yesterday, how come it suddenly jumped to a full moon today?”

Thor stood on the deserted street of the town and looked up.

“The little memory left by the original body seems to be true. It seems that the moon in this world is not just a celestial body.”

Because Thor has been staying in the wizard tower, it is the first time that Thor has discovered the abnormality of the moon.

But now is not the time to look at the moon.

Before Thor took the carriage to Mofan Town, he carefully learned about the grinding sound fruit.

He didn’t bring many books with him when he went out, at least the plant chapter of the cognition of all things was not with him.

But fortunately, in the books left by Nick in the carriage, there is an introduction to the grinding sound fruit.

The grinding sound fruit is a vine plant that hangs down like a gourd and is shaped like a recorder. When the wind blows, a sound like a millstone is heard.

This sound is not unpleasant, but it is not friendly enough for ordinary people. Ordinary people will be upset after listening to it, and they will feel nauseous and dizzy after a long time, or even faint directly.

But it is also a good witchcraft material, and it is difficult to cultivate and even more difficult to transplant.

That is why the Wizard Tower accepted the surrender of Mofan Town, which is beyond its radiation range.

And in Senior Nick’s book, it is recorded that the real function of the Mosheng Fruit is to soothe people’s emotions, calm down excited people, and also have a certain effect on spirits.

Like a sedative.

Since it is a fruit that needs to be supplied to the Wizard Tower, the Mosheng Fruit will definitely not be raised in the wild at will. Someone should carefully cultivate and guard it at all times.

But because the Mosheng Fruit will make strange noises when it encounters wind, ordinary people cannot plant it in the open air or in windy places. Otherwise, it will be impossible to guard it, and the cultivation will fail if you are not careful.

Thor chose the tallest building nearby and climbed up. Standing on the top of the chimney, he looked around the entire Mofan Town.

The town was unusually quiet at this time, and there was almost no light on anywhere.

But this also made the light sources in the northernmost part of the town extremely obvious.

After locking the target, Thor pulled the algae used as a rope, slowly lowered the roof, and ran towards the target.

When he came to the north of the town, Thor found that the light source was still outside the town wall, so he climbed over the wall that was not guarded at all and came outside.

A few hundred meters away from the north wall of the town, there was a row of brick and stone houses.

Those houses surrounded an open space, and the edge of the open space was surrounded by a three-meter-high wall, and the top was a wooden roof.

There was no wind tonight, and many wooden boards were lifted, revealing the dark green vines and branches inside.

The vines were not planted densely, and fruits could be vaguely seen hanging between the wide leaves.

Behind the open space, there was a three-story tower. The tower was pitch black, and all the windows were sealed with wooden boards, which gave off a faint ominous feeling.

Thor jumped off the wall, carefully hiding his body, and approached that place.

He still remembered that Nick said there were two first-level wizard apprentices here. Although Nick described them as having poor fighting ability, that was for Nick, and Thor could not really let his guard down.

Once they found out that he was an apprentice from the wizard tower, they would definitely try to conceal the reason for the reduction in the production of the grinding sound fruit – if there was really something fishy.

Thor cast another magic trick on himself, carefully avoiding possible prying eyes from all around, and finally approached the fenced open space.

There was a bonfire here, and there was a soldier guarding every few meters.

Their number was actually more than the guards standing guard at the town gate and patrolling in the town combined.

Finding a gap, Thor climbed onto the roof of a nearby house.

This time he could clearly see the plants planted in the open space.

The appearance of those plants was very similar to Nick’s description. However, the fruit that should be like a flute was wrapped in a layer of pulp paper, with only a little tip connected to the stem and leaves exposed.

Is this how they prevent the grinding sound fruit from being blown by the wind?

But can the fruit grow well like this?

You need to build a wall to prevent wind, and wrap it with paper. It doesn’t look like a place with abundant rain…

If this is the case, Thor thinks it is normal for the grinding fruit to decrease in production.

Are there other reasons?

Thor looked around and saw a house with the same specifications behind this row of houses, but with soldiers on duty on all four sides.

Thor visualized the walking picture of people and monsters, and carefully observed the surroundings, but did not find any abnormal spirits.

Even the tower with sealed windows was clean outside.

Sure enough, outside the wizard tower, cleanliness is the general situation.

Relying on the continued effect of his magic tricks, Thor got into the house guarded by the guards from the second-floor window.

There was no light in the house, and it was dim.

Thor looked in many places, but there was no one.

Finally, he finally found an underground passage in the kitchen on the first floor.

The entrance to the passage was carefully hidden under a stove.

Although the stove was camouflaged to a certain extent, Thor still noticed something strange.

The most important thing was that he felt a faint magical fluctuation from that entrance.

There was a wizard apprentice inside, and he was casting a spell.

Thor thought to himself, “This magic fluctuation dissipation value is too high. It’s obvious that he is a wandering wizard who has not received orthodox teaching. No, a wandering wizard apprentice.”

Now Thor believed Nick’s words. If they were two first-level apprentices, he could kill them at will.

Although the enemy was weak, Thor did not rush in.

There would be traps at the entrance of a dark room like this to prevent outsiders from sneaking in. Thor was not sure that he would not alarm the people inside when he went in.

He came here to eavesdrop, not to assassinate.

The fifth update!
