Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 328

Chapter 327 Soul Tide

“What?”

After hearing Thor’s words, Sander froze in place. After three breaths, he asked again in disbelief.

“Do you remember anything special that happened before you got off the boat?”

“I…” Sander’s eyes kept trembling.

The long-buried truth came to light, and he was about to lose control of his emotions.

“Calm down, don’t you want to know why Midor died?”

Sander sniffed hard and said in a trembling voice: “I remember, I remember, before the ship docked, there was a soul tide in Blue Water Bay, so we waited on the sea for a night and docked in the early morning.”

“What is the soul tide?” Thor had never heard of this term.

“It is said that many years ago, a tragic war broke out on the western continent. Many countries were affected, and an empire was almost destroyed because of it. At that time, two armies clashed in Bluewater Bay.”

“Who knew that during a night battle where both sides tried their best, the sea water in Bluewater Bay suddenly rose and swallowed up all the soldiers. Only a few officers in command of the rear escaped. After that, many people were inexplicably swept away by the waves in Bluewater Bay every year. It was not until the end of the war that a great wizard came to govern it, and this phenomenon of large-scale deaths without reason stopped. But occasionally, there would be a large number of blurry figures coming ashore with the high tide and retreating with the low tide. The residents of Bluewater Bay call it the soul tide.”

“Whenever there is a soul tide, someone will go missing, so the captain notified us to stay on the sea for a day and wait until dawn to dock. Could it be that night?”

“Did Midor show any abnormality that night?”

“No, because of the tiredness from the journey, I waited for her to fall asleep on the bed, and then I fell asleep leaning against the chair. Oh, right!” Sander seemed to remember something, and turned his head to stare at Thor. “In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard my sister calling me, but when I woke up, she asked me to go back to sleep, saying that everything was fine. I thought she was playing a prank, and I was too sleepy at the time, so I fell asleep again.”

“If I’m not mistaken, she died before getting off the ship.” Thor lowered his voice. He felt that Sander in front of him was like a little man made of sand, which could be blown away by the wind at any time.

“Impossible, I clearly talked to her before getting off the ship.” Sander waved his arms excitedly, “And I saw him get into the box with my own eyes, and I sealed the box with my own hands.”

At this time, he was like a child who was at a loss, and had forgotten to respect the wizard.

“Maybe what you saw was an illusion. Maybe Miduoer still had her own consciousness at that time, but if a person was suffocated to death, her skin would not be in this state now.”

“No… suffocated to death…” Sander stared at his sister in a daze. She was the same as she was a few years ago, as if she was just asleep, not dead.

Sol lowered his eyes, supported his knees with his hands, and slowly stood up, seemingly casually saying: “In short, she was not suffocated to death by you accidentally.”

Sander looked up suddenly, and his already dry eyes suddenly turned red.

His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn’t speak.

Sol didn’t let him say anything, and interrupted directly: “Okay, I have checked the house, and you have found the lost things. Let’s not delay any longer and sign the sublease agreement now.”

Sander had not yet calmed down, so he could only nod his head vigorously.

After packing up the boxes again, the two returned to the carriage outside the house and signed the agreement.

After that, Sol asked the mushroom coachman to send the people back to the outpost town, and he returned to the lakeside cabin.

“Blue Water Bay, Soul Tide… If that’s the case, there should be a lot of soul fragments and vengeful spirits there. With such a large scale, there might be a few evil spirits.”

Thor closed the door and stood back in the center of the hall, where the box had just appeared.

“You can go there to replenish your soul energy in a few days. If you always eat up all your energy, you will easily drain yourself dry.”

At this point, Thor suddenly stamped his feet, “But before that, we have to solve the problem in this room first. Do you want to come out by yourself, or do I pull you out?”

There was no response in the room.

Thor was not in a hurry. A black tentacle stretched out from the back of his neck and hung down to the ground, moving on the ground like a black python.

“A rattan box suddenly appeared. Is it to make us leave as soon as possible?”

Xiaozao’s head stopped at a corner of the wall. Finally, it extended upwards, crawled along the wall, went straight and then turned a right angle, and finally went straight and turned a right angle again.

Thor walked over and watched Xiaozao draw a square on the wall with his body.

“Well, it seems that it is not a clear consciousness that controls the appearance of the box.”

Thor did not find the vengeful spirit that he thought was hidden here, but found a strange passage. Thor touched his nose and felt embarrassed.

He asked Xiaozao, who was extremely sensitive to the smell of death, to come back and went forward to check it himself.

“A well-hidden dark room.” Thor’s hand gently brushed across the wall, and did not feel any unusual touch.

He closed his eyes and recalled the area of the wooden house from the outside.

“There is indeed a secret room, but the area should be very small. Is it hiding something?”

Thor’s hand pressed on the wall gradually became transparent, and his fingertips suddenly passed through the wooden wall.

But he did not go deeper, and quickly pulled his hand out.

At the moment when the hand was pulled out, a gray-white tentacle turned into a human palm.

“There is nothing inside, not even any defensive magic.” After a brief exploration, Thor followed the square that Xiaozao had drawn before.

His magic power was released from his fingers, turning into a black touch of torture.

The corrosive power quickly broke the magic circle on the wall, and a hidden door appeared.

Thor opened the door and saw the magic circle engraved behind the door.

“What a complicated magic circle.” Thor only took a glance, and with his current mental power, he actually felt dizzy.

However, when he began to meditate, the symptoms of dizziness were much relieved, and when he opened the diary again, the negative mental effects of the magic circle on him were completely eliminated.

“This magic circle focuses on hiding fluctuations, and the formula used is something I have never seen before. What did the original owner of this house want to hide?”

Thor walked in and found that a layer of dust had fallen inside. He used magic to remove the dust on the surface and finally saw the pattern on the floor that had been covered in dust for who knows how many years.

“Another magic circle? Using magic circles to hide magic circles?” Thor did not approach immediately, but looked at both sides of the room. After confirming that there were no other magic circles in the room, he approached the magic circle carefully.

“Use the forest to hide the house, use the witchcraft-like haunted house to hide the dark room, use the dark room to hide the magic circle… I want to see how rare this hidden thing is.”

Thor looked at the entire magic circle, his brows gradually frowned.

“Why does this magic circle look familiar?”

A light suddenly lit up in his mind, and his puzzled expression gradually turned into surprise.

In order to confirm his memory again, Thor hurriedly searched for the notebook he carried with him.

He took out a notebook that was not very important, but recorded rare and rare witchcraft knowledge, turned to the first few pages, and stopped at one of the magic circle formula diagrams.

That was what he had obtained from the wandering wizard in Mofan Town… a witchcraft magic circle for extracting souls!

And this so-called haunted house witchcraft magic circle is obviously an upgraded version of the former!
