Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 269

Chapter 269: Bell Ringing

Billy gritted his teeth, his face extremely ugly, “The tomb formation outside is not a ritual to assist the curse. It is simply a bait, a bait that makes people who know some knowledge of curse cultivation unable to help but step in.”

Seeing Billy so angry for the first time, Angela’s expression gradually became solemn, “Is it so dangerous? Even you are not sure?”

Although she felt that she had experienced many crises in the past few days away from the tower, every time before, Billy seemed to be at ease, but never as solemn as today.

Billy turned around while running and looked at Angela with complicated eyes, which made the latter’s heart skip a beat.

“I will protect you.” After saying that, he took Angela to another road.

Strangely, when they just stepped into the new street, the sound of the tide behind them disappeared.

Billy stopped and looked back into the alley.

The red water flowing at the entrance of the alley that was chasing the heels of the two people also disappeared.

Billy frowned, and when he was thinking about the reason for triggering the curse, he suddenly heard Angela beside him exclaim.

“Thor, why are you here?”

Thor had just walked out of the house where the wandering wizard apprentice lived.

He looked down at the small cloth bag in his hand and sighed in his heart.

“There are indeed some stocks of Mosheng Fruit here, but unfortunately most of them have rotted. I picked and chose and only got more than 10. In this way, if I want to do a long-term consciousness platform experiment, these Mosheng Fruits can only last for two times at most.”

Maybe there are stocks in other places, but Thor can’t stay in the town forever.

He didn’t forget the death warning issued by the diary before.

The longer you stay and the more places you explore, the more likely you are to accidentally “go behind the scenes”.

“Anyway, I have got some. Maybe after two more experiments, I can completely turn the diary into my locator. Now I’d better find a way to leave. I don’t know where Mochi Mochi ran to.” Just when Thor thought of this, he suddenly heard a bell echoing.

“Is there a clock tower in this town?” Thor recalled for a moment, “It seems there is one.”

Almost every town has a clock tower like this to summon civilians, so Thor didn’t pay too much attention to it last time.

After hearing the bell, Sol did not plan to join in the fun. Instead, he ran in the direction away from the bell – the entrance to the town gate.

He was not greedy. He came to this place just to find the Mosheng Fruit. Now that the fruit was in hand, it was time to leave.

As for Mochi Mochi?

The other party might not want to leave.

Now there should be only him and Mochi Mochi in the town.

The bell just now was probably made by Mochi Mochi. And seeing that he deliberately separated from Sol halfway, it was known that he might not necessarily welcome Sol to come.

So, Sol did not hesitate to pass through this luxurious residential area and ran directly to the widest avenue in the center of the town, preparing to follow the widest road to the town gate.

However, as soon as he stepped onto the avenue, he saw two people turning out from the alley diagonally opposite.

It turned out to be Billy and Angela.

“Why are they here?” Sol’s mind raced.

Before he could make a decision, Angela on the opposite side looked up and saw Sol at a glance.

“Thor, why are you here?”

Hearing Angela’s call, Billy turned his head and looked over instantly.

He was too focused on analyzing the red tide just now, so he didn’t notice that there were other people on the street.

But seeing Thor, Billy was not as surprised as Angela.

It seemed that it was not difficult to understand that Thor was here.

Since he had already run into him head-on, Thor did not deliberately avoid him.

“I’m leaving here, what about you?” Thor immediately expressed that he had no intention of competing for the source of the curse in the town.

The strange phenomenon in the town has not disappeared. Since Mochi Mochi can see from the tomb formation outside that there is a source of the curse here. Then Billy, who has a higher reputation than him among the third-level apprentices, cannot fail to see it.

Billy is a third-level apprentice who can make Gudo’s mentor depressed.

But to Thor’s surprise, Billy made the same decision as him.

“We have to leave too.”

Angela looked at Thor, then at Billy, and finally stood in the middle and spread her hands and said, “That’s perfect, let’s go together.”

In Angela’s opinion, Billy was a senior third-level apprentice, and Thor was the student of the tower master. Both of them were very powerful.

If this town was really as scary as Billy said, she would be more likely to escape if she acted with these two excellent apprentices.

But Angela’s left hand was not as happy as she was.

It grabbed Angela’s clothes on her chest nervously, and it seemed to be the most nervous one at the scene.

Thor was stunned. He didn’t expect that their purpose was not to find the source of the curse.

The latter nodded to Thor with a gloomy face. He agreed with Angela’s proposal.

At this time, another bell sounded, and the three of them turned their heads to look at the same time.

At the end of this avenue, there was a small square. Opposite the square was an old bell tower that was not very tall.

From their angle, they could just see the bell on the top of the bell tower shaking.

There was a rope under the bell, and it was obviously the kind that shook the rope to drive the bell tongue inside to strike and make a sound.

But they didn’t see the person who rang the bell.

As the bell rang, the sound of the waves surrounded Thor again like a stereo.

This time, the sound was closer.

It seemed to be nearby!

Thor knew that if he stayed any longer, he would probably run into the red tide head-on.

“Let’s go.” Thor called out and immediately ran towards the town gate.

Angela had been paying attention to the movements of the two people. Seeing Thor running first, she followed him without hesitation. She felt that since she and Thor had run away, Billy couldn’t stay there.

Sure enough, footsteps sounded behind her the next second.

The three of them ran all the way, and no one cared about their manners at this time.

Fortunately, after they ran a few hundred meters, they left the sound of the waves behind them.

They returned to the entrance of the town gate along the way they came.

However, the city gate that appeared in front of everyone was intact, and a square wooden stake nearly two meters long was honestly inserted into the door bolt.

Angela covered her mouth in surprise, “How could it be? When we came in, the gate had already been corroded. How come it is intact again?”

“The gate was intact when you came?” Thor also stared at the gate, “But when Mochimochi and I came in, we also broke the gate.”

“This is not surprising. Since it is a cage to catch people, the cage door must be locked.” Billy said coldly.

As the strongest person present, he did not hide his weakness and went forward to try to open the door.

He put one hand on the gate and released light green gas like when he came in.

However, the gas that successfully corroded the gate when he came in hit a wall this time.

They were floating outside the gate, seemingly touching the gate, but they just had no effect.

Billy sucked back the gas and suddenly moved closer to observe the gap between his hand and the gate.

Then, with a gloomy face, he launched a more powerful corrosive claw at the gate.

The pale green eagle claw hand hit the gate hard.

However, the gate did not move at all, and there was not even a trace left.

After several useless attacks, the corrosive claw dissipated helplessly.

Angela was about to say something when she suddenly saw Thor release an arrow spell towards the top of the city wall.

But not surprisingly, the arrow hit an invisible barrier with a “ding” sound, broke into two pieces, and fell inside the town.

“It seems that we have really been locked in a cage.” Thor muttered.
