Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 366

Chapter 364: Illusions and Fuzzy Cognition

“Mark, go forward, is this really the elves’ residence?” Thor asked in a deep voice.

Mark hadn’t realized that something was wrong yet, and he nodded anxiously, “Yes.”

The rows of human figures behind him had not disappeared yet, and they stood quietly behind Mark.

Surrounding him.

Thor didn’t rub his eyes, nor did he close his eyes and then open them again.

He raised his hand and pointed to Mark’s side, “Xiao Zao.”

The black tentacles immediately flew out and swept around Mark.

Like a stone thrown into the water, the air around Mark rippled, and the human figures with their heads down gradually dissipated in the ripples.

Mark wanted to defend himself the moment he saw Xiao Zao, but when he saw Thor’s solemn expression, he held back and didn’t move.

After Xiaozao whipped twice in the air, Mark looked around him, “Did you see anything?”

“There were many figures around you just now, but they disappeared in a sweep.” Sol paused for a moment, not quite sure, “Maybe it’s also an illusion of this forest, like a mirage.”

“Is it an illusion?” Morton turned his head to Agu, he was not good at this.

Agu couldn’t give an accurate answer, “Yes. But my spirit body is very stable, and it doesn’t seem to be affected by an illusion.”

An also followed, “Yes, I am very sensitive to the changes in my spirit body. When those figures appeared just now, I didn’t find anything unusual.”

While several people were thinking about what they saw meant, Mark just sighed.

“Since we came to the Forest of Four Seasons, we have encountered many phenomena that cannot be explained by existing knowledge. Now I am no longer surprised. As long as it doesn’t threaten my life, I don’t care about human figures or ghosts.”

Sol nodded and followed Mark.

“That’s right. We can’t solve the anomaly here. Let’s find Kong Sha first.”

The group walked in the deep forest for two hours and encountered several strange phenomena.

However, they did not encounter the elves that Mark said would come to hunt them, so they did not run for their lives again.

When Thor felt tired again, the scene in front of him was finally no longer just trees, vines and grass.

The growth of the forest seemed to have been paused. Thor passed a row of towering ancient trees and suddenly saw an open green meadow.

The sun could finally shine on it unscrupulously, and the breeze did not have to worry about being blocked by dense branches and leaves.

A row of simple white wooden houses stood on the grass.

These houses were built casually and distributed casually. It was like a tent set up casually for a spring outing.

When Mark stepped onto the grass, Thor finally saw the third person in the valley.

He had just met this person not long ago.

Monroe.

Monroe was standing sideways at this time, and Thor could only see half of his face.

He stared into the distance with his mouth slightly open, as if he was in a trance.

“Monroe!” Mark shouted immediately upon seeing this.

Monroe’s body trembled and he turned his head suddenly.

Thor’s steps, which were about to follow, stopped in place instantly.

Monroe, he lost an eye.

If Thor remembered correctly, it was the one he ate in front of him.

When Monroe saw Thor, his only remaining eye lit up, and he ignored Mark who was walking over, and trotted all the way to Thor.

“You’re finally here! Kong Sha said that if you come, you will definitely be able to help us escape! I was afraid that you don’t need cryptocrystalline!” Monroe’s face was excited, and his empty eye sockets were twitching.

He stretched out his hand to grab Thor, but was blocked by several consciousnesses with their bodies.

“What’s wrong?” Monroe didn’t understand, “Who are they?”

“What’s wrong with your eyes?” Thor asked him.

Monroe raised his hand and touched his empty eye sockets, poking his fingertips in a little bit, and then quickly pulled them out.

“It was broken when the elves attacked it. I was eating at the time…”

Mark saw that Thor and Monroe had no conflict, so he walked into the depths of the scattered houses with confidence, calling out a few names. The one

he called the most was Kongsha.

Thor was still a little worried about Monroe, and since Mark was not there, he just asked Mark the same question again.

Monroe also gave the same answer, and there was not much difference in the details.

After listening to Monroe’s description, Thor also told Monroe about the knowledge clone he saw in the wizard tower.

“…He suddenly ate his own eyes.”

Monroe was not very surprised, “My eyes are gone, so his eyes are naturally useless.”

Then he licked his lips, “It’s delicious. I haven’t eaten meat for a long time.”

He was even more surprised by another thing Thor mentioned, “Has it been half a year outside?”

“Don’t you feel it?” Thor felt that wizards should still be very sensitive to time.

Monroe smiled bitterly, “The alternation of day and night in the Forest of Four Seasons is irregular. Sometimes the sun doesn’t set for three or four days, and sometimes the night doesn’t end for three or four days. Not only the day and night, but also the four seasons here are different from those outside.”

At this time, Mark had turned back. He looked worried and kept muttering, “Where did they go? It’s so dangerous here. Didn’t they say that we can’t leave without permission?”

Thor glanced at Mark from the corner of his eye, and most of his attention was still on Monroe.

“…The four seasons here are divided according to regions. The farthest place from the center of the valley is spring, the dense forest you encountered when you came here is summer, and going further from here is autumn.”

Hearing this, An couldn’t help but continue, “Then the center of the Elf Valley is not winter? Will it snow here all the time?”

Unexpectedly, Monroe looked at An strangely, “What winter? What snow? Of the four seasons of the year, the last season is of course the dead season!”

An was stunned, wondering if the one-eyed apprentice in front of him was teasing him.

Thor raised his hand, turned his head and asked Mark, who had walked behind Monroe and stood there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Mark, don’t you know what winter is?”

Mark, who was standing behind Monroe, was in a trance for a moment, and seemed to realize that he was about to hit Monroe’s back, so he quickly took a step back.

He rubbed his eyebrows and muttered, “I know, snow season, winter, different places say it differently, it’s just… very cold, a period of time when white crystals will fall.”

It would have been better if Mark didn’t explain, but once he explained, Thor immediately felt that he was also very sick.

“Are the two people’s consciousness of winter a little vague?” Thor thought to himself, and then he made a gesture to tell the four consciousness bodies not to interrupt casually.

He wanted to see from the future exchanges what other cognitions of these people were blurred.

And the blurred place might be the key to leaving the Elf Valley.

Although Thor’s purpose of coming here was not to save people, he needed to find the thing in the Four Seasons Forest that was very important to him and could save his future life.

Unfortunately, there was no hint in the diary this time.

Next, everyone had to find a way to leave the valley while looking for that important thing.

“So, Monroe, is the dead season in the center of the valley? What does it look like?”

Monroe did not regain his cognition because of Mark’s explanation. He said as a matter of course: “Did something happen outside? You don’t even know this? The dead season is a season when there is nothing, as if time has gone away! And the dead season is also the season most likely to be attacked by elves.”

Mark also put down his hand, and his nose bridge had been pinched red by himself.

“The palace I just mentioned is at the junction of the autumn and the dead season. The edge range of the four seasons here will fluctuate by several hundred meters. When the autumn expands, there will be more food, but the corresponding danger will also be greater.”

Monroe nodded repeatedly, “My eyes were attacked when I was eating mushrooms. It was that mushroom that attacked me!”

He looked angry, “Then I pressed the mushroom and ate it!”
