Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 303

Chapter 302 Reunion

A familiar and cheerful girl’s voice came from outside the door, and Thor opened his eyes wide in surprise.

He removed the devil vine in front of the door and released his mental power.

There was indeed a man and a woman standing outside the door, and they did not resist Thor’s mental scan.

After this exploration, Thor immediately opened the door of the Black Castle.

Keli, with a metallic reflection on her face, stood expressionlessly at the door.

The other person frowned as if thinking about what “old couple” meant.

“Keli!”

“Senior Byron!”

Thor didn’t expect that he would see both of them outside the tower at the same time.

“Why are you here at the same time?” Thor looked at Byron first, “Is it the senior who came to take over the Black Castle?”

“It’s me, it’s me!” Keli raised her hand and waved it in front of Thor, “Senior Byron just happened to be looking for you again, so he came all the way with me.”

“Yeah.” Byron didn’t open his mouth, but just nodded in cooperation.

Thor was a little surprised, he stepped aside first to let the two friends who had traveled a long distance come in to rest.

The three of them walked side by side in the Black Castle. Thor asked Keli, “Aren’t you only level 2? How can you take over the Black Castle?”

“Aren’t you also level 2?” Keli rolled her eyes, but she was just complaining out of habit. “I won’t run around in the Black Castle. I’m just here to study and experiment, and help pass messages between the Principality of Kerma and the Wizard Tower.”

Thor stopped, frowned, and clearly expressed his concerns, “The Black Castle is not safe. It’s better to let the level 3 apprentice guard it.”

Keli frowned and stopped as well, “I know, so except for passing messages, I usually don’t leave the Black Castle. And my mentor gave me a powerful witchcraft prop. If someone really wants to invade the Black Castle, this thing can protect me until the Wizard Tower comes to rescue.”

“Besides, there is a reason why I applied for this job…”

Senior Byron, who was walking silently at the back, didn’t know what he was thinking. When Thor and Keli stopped one after another, he was still walking forward, and then bumped into Thor’s shoulder.

This interrupted the conversation between Thor and Keli.

Because when Thor touched Byron’s body, his gray-white skin suddenly had a ripple.

Although he couldn’t see it because of his clothes, Thor could feel that his skin seemed to have a small crack.

The crack didn’t hurt, and it seemed that something was stirring in the wound.

Thor silently calmed the skin and let the wound heal automatically. Then he looked at Byron with a blank expression.

All of the above happened in a very short period of time, as short as a flash of thought.

Keli only realized what happened at this time, and she turned around, “Instead of worrying about whether I can live well in Black Castle, why don’t you ask about Senior Byron’s situation first. I think he is more anxious.”

Thor looked at Senior Byron seriously this time, and Byron stood there and let Thor observe him.

“Senior… is it the same question as last time?”

Byron hesitated and nodded, but still didn’t “open his mouth”.

Thor then realized that after meeting Senior Byron this time, the mouth on his neck had never opened, and he had always used body language or a dull “hmm” instead.

Could it be that the problem has become so serious that he can’t even open his mouth to speak?

Thor immediately said to Byron, “Senior, please wait for me in the laboratory on the third floor. I will come to you as soon as I finish handing over to Keli.”

Byron nodded.

In the past few years, he often went in and out of Chuishou Valley near Mobei City, so he was more familiar with Black Castle than Thor.

The three of them parted ways at the stairs in the front hall, one went up and the other two went down.

Thor took Keli along the basement, wine cellar, and cave to see the huge main root of the devil vine.

“This is the devil’s vine. I was in a hurry to take up the post, and I only knew that I could become the temporary owner by injecting my spiritual power into the main root of the devil’s vine. But since you have accepted the mission, you should know more than me.”

“Of course.” Keli nodded proudly, and rolled up her sleeves, revealing two white arms that had not seen the sun for many years.

Her skin was very good, and there was a faint golden glitter on it, just like a girl sprinkled a layer of gold powder with makeup.

Thor stared at Keli’s arms.

“Does it look good?”

“Has the metal toxin in your body not been resolved yet?”

“This is what I left for you.” Keli said, taking out a tube of blue potion from her pocket, “It’s for my next research.”

She opened the potion, tilted her head back and swallowed all the liquid into her stomach. Then she immediately lowered her head and covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she had swallowed a tube of mustard.

After waiting for a few seconds, she blinked away the mist in her eyes and said to Thor with a hissing sound: “The radioactivity of metals you mentioned last time gave me some inspiration. I decided to try to develop this special metal toxin. However, this toxin can easily go out of control and affect people around, so my mentor suggested that I find a closed and empty space to continue my research. If there are any problems in the process, I can contact him directly.”

“So you thought of Black Castle?” Thor sighed, “Do you know how to contact the Wizard Tower in Black Castle?”

“Of course, I made sufficient preparations before coming here.” Keli raised her eyebrows proudly at Thor, “Only the official owner of Black Castle can contact the Wizard Tower, and the temporary owner cannot. So don’t worry, I won’t be in danger but can’t ask for help.”

“So that’s it.” Thor suddenly realized.

So Bri and the others were sure that they had no way to ask for help from the Wizard Tower.

Keli let out a long breath, raised her hands, and approached the Devil Ivy as if she was going to strangle someone.

[Hello, it seems that you are my future new owner. ]

The voice of the Devil Ivy sounded a little excited.

But Keli did not respond to it, but continued to slowly approach the devil vine.

“You seem a little nervous.” Thor was a little confused.

Keli did not need him to remind her, and she obviously knew the process of becoming the master of the Black Castle, but she looked much more serious than Thor at that time.

Keli stared at the devil vine with her eyes, “Don’t talk to me first. I heard from my mentor that it is very difficult to establish a spiritual connection with the devil vine, and asked me to be prepared that I might not succeed in one go… I don’t want to drink the mental potion a second time.”

Although she asked Thor to shut up, she kept talking there.

Thor suppressed his smile, “I am really nervous. But is it so difficult to establish a spiritual connection with the devil vine?”

Thor glanced at the devil vine.

[……]

Several small aerial roots twitched for no reason.

At this time, Keli finally walked in front of the devil vine and pinched it hard with both hands. Her neatly trimmed nails left a crescent on the surface of the root.

The muscles on Keli’s face were tense, and it was obvious that her mind and body were working together.

After another minute, she suddenly opened her eyes, her mouth slightly opened, and her face was surprised.

“I succeeded?” She pouted, “It’s not that difficult!”

She suddenly looked at Thor, “Did you do something?”

Thor spread his hands innocently, “You established a connection with the devil vine, what can I do?”

Keli narrowed her eyes, “Huh, it’s even more unbelievable when you put it that way!”
