Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 285

Chapter 284: The Host

As Thor’s mind successfully marked the vine, everything around him slowly came to life.

The vine stretched its roots and continued to go deep into the soil. The moisture in the underground passage began to slowly decrease. A small white mushroom even appeared under Thor’s right foot.

“It seems that this elder vine really recognizes you. I can feel that the Black Castle is recovering quickly.” Yula looked up, “Okay, let’s leave here. It’s too humid here. I think the joints of this body are going to grow hair.”

Thor was still observing the changes around him. Hearing this, he slowly raised his steps to catch up with Yula.

This vine planted under the Black Castle is really amazing.

When Thor began to move away from the root system, he could feel that the rhizome in the soil suddenly grew a very active rhizome, following his footsteps.

Every time his foot landed, it was as if he was in contact with the rhizome below through a shallow layer of soil.

Thor found it very interesting. He raised his right hand and stretched it to the wall on one side.

Then he immediately felt the root split into two, one of which stretched upward quickly and excitedly. When Thor’s palm touched the soil on the side, a small tip suddenly emerged and “high-fived” him lightly.

“Wow!” Thor found it interesting and immediately raised his left hand and reached the wall on the other side.

The rhizome underground split again and grew to the inside of the soil touched by Thor’s left hand at a faster speed.

The palm and the root system were once again connected.

“Hehe.” Thor finally couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Yula, who was walking in front, looked back in confusion, and the puppet’s head turned directly to the back, “What are you doing?”

“Uh…” Thor reacted and realized that his actions just now were a bit childish. Especially in the eyes of outsiders, it was even more silly.

“Ahem.” He retracted his hands somewhat awkwardly and secretly rubbed off the soil on his fingertips, “I’m just feeling the changes in the vine.”

Definitely not playing with the root system!

Yula looked at Thor suspiciously, and turned her head away after a few seconds. Her neck joints made a sound similar to the friction of wood. It seems that she really has hair.

The two of them left the underground cave, walked out of the wine cellar, and closed the secret door.

At this time, Thor lost contact with the root system underground.

However, after Thor and Yula left, the roots that had been growing quietly underground suddenly trembled with difficulty and weakness.

[Who… is he? Why can he… attach to my entire body with just a mental connection? ]

The weak voice no longer had the impatience when it spoke to Thor just now. It was filled with a slight tremor, just as it trembled slightly on the outside.

[And… who are you? What did that boy leave in my body? ! ]

No one responded.

…

The doll that contained Yula’s spirit had a real problem. And it wasn’t just a simple growth of hair. Yula’s entire movements were becoming slower.

“I’ll go back now. I’ll recruit your driver.” Yula quickened her pace, but her hip joints began to make strange noises.

“Winnie, are you okay? Do you need me to do anything?”

“Nothing, it’s just that there’s something in this doll’s body that I didn’t expect, I have to go back and clean it up. You don’t have to see me off.”

After saying that, Youla pushed open the gate of the Black Castle and rushed out like the wind.

Outside the gate, the driver was still waiting. He was just squatting on the ground, looking at the weeds on the roadside.

Suddenly, he felt another gust of wind suddenly blowing into the carriage, followed by a sound like spit.

“Go back to the tower!”

The driver was startled and stood up quickly, but found that Thor was still standing at the door and hadn’t gotten in the car.

His expression looked a little confused.

Thor nodded to the driver, motioning him to leave quickly.

The driver then hurriedly climbed into the car, bowed slightly to Thor, and drove the carriage quickly away from the Black Castle Forest.

Now, Thor was the only one left in the entire Black Castle.

He turned around and saw that on the narrow gate of the Black Castle, where the eyes were originally, a black tentacle suddenly stretched out.

This tentacle looked familiar.

“Little algae?” Thor immediately raised his hand and touched the back of his neck.

A thin black tentacle immediately stretched out from inside, entangled Thor’s index finger and immediately loosened and retracted.

“When did Little Algae run in? Wait, it wasn’t it that was playing high five with me in the soil just now?”

Thinking of this, Thor hurried back to the underground.

When he re-entered the secret door of the wine cellar, he immediately felt that the surrounding environment was different from just now.

The air here was still humid, but not as stuffy as at the beginning, and the ground became softer and slightly muddy when stepped on.

When Thor walked to the original thick rhizome, he was shocked to find that it had “slimmed down” in just a few minutes!

“Little algae?” Thor shouted at it.

[No, I’m not, but if you… you mean the black tentacle that took root in my body… I think it’s responding to you. ]

As soon as the low voice fell, several black tentacles suddenly grew under the soil around Thor.

He seemed to have returned to the abandoned underground laboratory under the wizard tower. The closed basement with corpses floating on the surface and tentacles that could be hugged.

Thor lowered his head and raised his foot to stomp again.

The sticky feeling became more obvious, and the soles of his feet would sink slightly when he stepped on it.

It really looked more and more like a swamp.

“Why did the algae transfer to your body?”

[… This, wasn’t it you who did it? Just now, when you and I established a spiritual connection… woo woo…]

Wait, is this big guy crying?

[… Your powerful mental power broke through the scope of the spiritual connection and took over my entire body. After patrolling the woods and the castle, you retreated. ]

[But you left behind… the algae, and now it is desperately absorbing my nutrients. ]

Thor was stunned.

So the painful feeling of confinement he just felt was not caused by the spiritual connection?

It was because he used his mental power to thoroughly explore the other party from head to toe. Before leaving, he left an uninvited guest to rob the room and food.

[Can you control it for a while? If this continues, my extremities will wither and the entire Black Castle will collapse. 】

“Xiao Zao,” Thor called Xiao Zao after a moment of silence.

The black slender tentacles stretched out from behind his neck, grinning at Thor like a shark, and knocked his teeth with a “click, click, click” sound. “

Take it easy, don’t eat too much, we still have to live here for at least ten more days.”

Xiao Zao nodded happily immediately, and then shrank back.

Thor said to the root of the vine again, “Is it okay now?”

[…Thank you for your generosity, and finally apologize to you for my rudeness when we just met. ]

“It’s okay.” Thor left the vine where it was.

It seems that because of the change of owner, the atmosphere in the Black Castle is also a little different. Those tall and thin buildings are gradually becoming less deformed.

It is more in line with Thor’s aesthetics.

He did not go to find Mochi Mochi’s room, but went into a guest room at random and sat down on a slender bed like a coffin.

“It takes at least ten days to get here by carriage. During this time, I will be alone here.”

Thor thought of the bag of Mosheng Fruit he had finally taken out from Mofan Town.

“In fact, there is no need to go back to the tower. I can completely rebuild a consciousness platform array here. Now, this is my territory!”
