Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 329

Chapter 328 Advanced Magic Array

Dusk, forest, lakeside cabin.

Thor had already closed the door of the darkroom and restored the hidden magic array.

He was now sitting on the only wooden bed on the second floor of the cabin, carefully examining the witchcraft magic array he had just copied.

On Thor’s left hand, he was spreading out the notebook that recorded the original soul extraction magic array.

“Why is there such a magic array here?” Thor was sure that this new soul extraction magic array had been very cleverly improved.

Now it can not only extract the vengeful spirits of ordinary people, but even the spirits of wizard apprentices.

“If we use this magic circle to create vengeful spirits, and if the materials are suitable, we can even create evil spirits stably. My initial guess was wrong. I thought it was some unsuccessful exiled apprentice who was unwilling to give up and continued to live near the wizard tower. But now it seems that this is clearly the base of someone, or even a certain force. Hiss…”

Thor stood up. He heard some noise outside and went downstairs immediately. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the mushroom driver who had rushed back, holding a scroll and preparing to come in.

Seeing Thor, the driver immediately said, “Sir, I brought the agreement.”

Thor took the scroll and unfolded it. There was no information about himself left on it. The Inn House did not even put his name on the scroll. It just said that the holder of the scroll was the long-term tenant of this house.

The secular agreement naturally has no binding effect on wizards. The Inn House obviously knows this and will not verify the identity of the wizard at all.

And the wizards who are not short of money basically pay rent for ten years. After ten years, if the wizard who rents the house is still there, then they will send someone to renew or terminate the contract.

Thor read the agreement, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the driver: “You go to the town to find a place to stay, and come to deliver food every three days.”

The mushroom driver raised his head and said carefully: “My lord, I can live in the carriage, so if you have any instructions, you can call me immediately.”

But Thor shook his head firmly, “No, it’s easy to hurt you if I do experiments here.”

The driver said nothing more, nodded neatly, and saw that Thor had no further requirements, so he left and drove away.

What Thor didn’t know was that he didn’t live in the outpost town, but lived in an uninhabited mountain forest one mile away from the town. He

also planted a few white mushrooms nearby.

Although he was originally just an ordinary person, after several trips to the Black Castle Forest, he had gradually left the scope of ordinary people under the influence of witchcraft.

Thor walked into the room with the scroll in his hand and threw it casually into the corner of the room.

Just now, for a moment, he wanted to leave, or run away. There might be a lot of troubles hidden in this abandoned lakeside cabin.

But after seeing the scroll, Thor changed his mind again.

He knew that the magic circle hidden in the lakeside cottage was an upgraded version of the one in Mofan Town. This magic circle was obtained by Shelly, a wandering wizard apprentice in Mofan Town, a few years ago.

After that, Shelly began to frantically use living girls to create evil spirits in an attempt to get promoted.

But it was obvious that someone was deceiving him.

Thor suspected that the person who deceived Shelly was the creator of this magic circle. And he told Shelly that the magic circle could help him get promoted to the second-level apprentice, probably just to use Shelly to experiment with the magic circle for him.

Thor took out the improved version of the soul extraction magic circle again, “The person behind the scenes should have discovered the defects of the magic circle through Shelly’s experiment and made changes. But there is one thing that is very strange. Although this improved magic circle can extract the soul of the wizard apprentice, it is not cost-effective to calculate the materials consumed. It is not as good as the original soul extraction magic circle.”

“Is it because the input value of the improved magic circle exceeds the output that it was abandoned here?”

Regardless of whether the creator of this magic circle really gave up or pretended to give up, Thor was ready to pretend that he had not found anything to see if someone would secretly find it back.

So for the next two days, Thor did not start his experiment immediately, but asked Xiaozao to re-station a branch in the lakeside cabin.

At the same time, he also arranged a defensive witchcraft array, pretending to be stationed here for a long time.

In addition, while exploring underground, Xiaozao dived into the small lake next to it. This lake seemed to be connected to an underground waterway. It looked shallow, but it was actually deep.

Xiaozao picked up several corpses at the bottom of the deepest lake, including the remains of two wizard apprentices.

This also confirmed that someone had used the array in the lakeside cabin to conduct experiments on extracting the souls of wizard apprentices.

At the same time as Xiaozao’s expansion of territory, Thor’s own experiments were also carried out.

He rearranged the consciousness platform array in the largest room on the second floor of the cabin.

After two days of renovation, this new laboratory has an additional set of tables and chairs, and several cabinets placed against the wall.

Some of these things were purchased by Thor with the mushroom driver in town, and some were assembled by him using local materials and then asked Xiaozao to assemble.

Now, the consciousness platform array has been built and new experiments can be started.

Thor stood in the center of the array and took out a bottle of reagent, “This is the last extract of the grinding fruit. If we can’t find a new source of grinding fruit or a substitute, the research on the ‘consciousness battlefield’ will be temporarily suspended.”

Thor raised his head and swallowed the potion.

In the consciousness space, the endless black starry sky still surrounded the huge circular platform.

The four consciousness bodies flew out of the diary in Thor’s hand one by one, landed in front of him, and bowed together.

“My Lord!”*4Then

the four people posed in four different salute postures…

Thor, whose emotions had been suppressed to the extreme, let them salute expressionlessly, “After this, the consciousness platform array may not be able to be opened for a long time.”

The four consciousness bodies showed four different expressions on their faces.

Thor ignored their moods and swept his cold eyes over the four people, “So this time, I will try to take one of you out.”

“Take it out?” Agu’s heart moved, “Master, do you have a plan?”

Thor turned his head and stared at Agu, “No, there is only an immature idea. And I have run out of potions in my hand, so whoever I take out this time must be prepared to never come back, and those who stay will not be able to enter the consciousness platform for a long time.”

The platform immediately became quiet, and the minds of the few who were originally ready to move all became honest.

Just as Thor was thinking about who to take away, a person took the initiative to stand up.

Herman took a step forward, “Master, if this is a trial experiment, I suggest you take me with you. In this way, if there is any accident in the experiment, your loss will be minimal.”

After this, Thor and the other four looked at him in surprise.

Herman was a little nervous. He knew that if he stood up now, it was equivalent to being a living experiment in the initial stage of an experiment.

The risk is quite high!

But he had no choice.

Although Thor never said anything, he knew that he was lucky to survive.

The main reason why Thor kept them was that he regarded them as a reserve of knowledge. Maybe the master will have other plans in the future, but for now, Herman is the most useless one.

Agu was the administrator of the wizard tower library. This identity alone means a lot of knowledge.

Morton was a second-level wizard a hundred years ago. Even if his power is greatly reduced now, the knowledge possessed by a second-level wizard is not something Herman can imagine.

An, who originally had no sense of existence, gradually awakened after integrating the evil spirit consciousness. Compared to Thor, he wanted to continue to dig out secrets from her in the future.

As for Herman himself, he was not a major in dark attributes, and he was only a third-level wizard apprentice. He had already told his master all the secrets about land boats that he knew.

His only remaining value now was to contribute to the construction of his master’s “conscious battlefield”.

The experiment was indeed dangerous, but there were opportunities in danger.

If he could seize this opportunity…

Herman met Thor’s gaze, “Master, I will carry out all your will, and I will not retreat even if my consciousness is consumed!”

There is more in the evening
