Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 395

Chapter 393 Traces

“Not coming?” Seeing that Thor was still not coming up, Jero shrugged his shoulders, his face not so excited, “We are in a hurry, let’s go first.”

Luo Kai did not get on the car either, still standing behind Thor.

It seemed that he appeared here just to see them off.

He smiled and waved goodbye to Jero and Byron. Jero waved his hand without interest, but Byron had already turned around and had no intention of greeting Luo Kai at all.

This move was in line with Byron’s character.

Thor’s tense shoulders relaxed slightly, “Okay, then I’ll ask questions when Senior Byron comes back.”

Byron, who was already hidden in the shadow of the cloak, nodded slightly.

The carriage gradually drove away under the gaze of Thor and Luo Kai.

“Thor, how come your strength can increase so much every time you go out?”

At this time, Luo Kai seemed to notice the changes in the fluctuations of Thor’s magic power, and the smile on his face suddenly became much more bitter.

Thor had no interest in chatting with Luo Kai, and just nodded, “Unexpected. I’ll go back first, Senior Luo Kai.”

Such a perfunctory answer made Luo Kai raise his right eyebrow.

But before he could say anything, Thor had already turned and left, and his black apprentice robes rose and fell slightly in the air.

Until Thor went up the passage, Luo Kai still stood there. He withdrew his gaze from Thor’s back and turned his head to continue looking at the direction where the carriage left.

When the carriage was covered by the woods and could not be seen clearly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Thor hurriedly returned to… the apprentice dormitory on the 12th floor of the West Tower.

Because of laziness and because he had not lived in the dormitory for a long time, Thor did not change his dormitory after being promoted to the third-level apprentice.

This time when he came back, he rarely went to the second warehouse to sort out his gains and experiences. Instead, after entering the door, he casually threw the compressed bag, outer robe and other things on the ground.

He sat down on the high-backed wooden chair with a “thump”.

Then, without stopping for a moment, his soul left his body!

The spirit that cannot be seen by the n*ked eye emerged from the body.

The spirit on Thor’s face shook like water ripples for a moment, and then changed into the current appearance of his body.

The spirit left the ground with both feet and flew upwards.

Since completing the second transformation of the witch body, Thor rarely took the initiative to leave his body.

On the one hand, there was the warning of the tower master, and on the other hand, he was afraid of the experience of Yula and others.

He often warned himself not to get carried away because he could leave his body at will.

But today he had to leave!

Because when he saw Byron in the carriage, he thought there was nothing wrong with his behavior at first.

It was just that the action of acting with Jero and Luo Kai made Thor feel something was wrong.

So Thor subconsciously activated his habitual action – semi-immersive meditation.

Because this action has become his muscle spirit memory, when it is activated, it will not even let people around him feel any difference in his state.

But it was also this look that frightened Thor so much that the blood in his body froze.

Under normal circumstances, the normal overflow of magic and mental power he felt from Byron turned into black lines like worms drilling out of pores under the perspective of semi-immersive meditation.

And on Byron’s face, from the middle of his head to the neck covered by the collar… there was a black line running through it.

After seeing this line, all the uneasiness and doubts in Thor’s body disappeared.

He did not raise his fist, did not frown, and even let his tense muscles relax slightly.

Under his calm appearance, the surging blood in his body was as quiet and invisible as the whirlpool under the deep sea.

He could even say goodbye to Luo Kai politely and distantly as before.

But when he entered the dormitory and was out of sight of others, the suppressed tension in his body made him tremble from the inside out, and his movements became messy.

Despite this, he still successfully completed the soul leaving the body in one go and quickly flew to the upper floor.

Except for some special places, there are no partitions for spirits between the floors of the wizard tower.

Sol arrived at Byron’s dormitory smoothly and saw a messy room.

This mess was not unusual. Sol had been to Byron’s place several times and his dormitory had always been this messy.

Even the debris dumped on the ground when he came last time still maintained its original distribution.

Sol walked and scanned the whole room.

There was almost no change in the room.

“Senior Byron should not have left the wizard tower recently. He usually conducts experiments in the dormitory. The dormitory is protected by a defensive magic circle, and ordinary apprentices should not be able to break through. Didn’t he have an accident here?”

But if Byron didn’t have an accident in the dormitory, it would be difficult for Thor to find where he was attacked.

“But in any case, this is where he appears most often. If there is no clue here, look for it somewhere else.” Thor walked inside while thinking.

Then he saw Byron’s long table and laboratory table, which were messy around but had a neat area in the middle.

“There are some signs of damage in the center of the table… He won’t do experiments on the desk.”

Thor immediately realized that he had discovered something unusual.

He bent down, leveled his eyes with the table, and carefully observed the uneven marks.

“It should be a kind of magic with corrosive properties.” Thor stretched out a translucent finger and gently outlined an area along the traces of corrosion.

“This size should be the size of a book.” Thor stood up, looked down at the table, and laughed at himself, “Aren’t the things on the table normally books?”

If it was the books or papers that Byron destroyed himself, there was no need to corrode the table.

Moreover, this power was not the same as the witchcraft that Byron usually used.

Someone destroyed the things here, and even wiped the surface of the table without leaving traces in order to eliminate the things left on the table.

“To penetrate the table… it should be a piece of paper. And it was a piece of paper that was just written.”

Thor stood there and closed his eyes.

Byron took out a piece of paper, and then wrote some words or symbols on the paper. Then something happened, the paper disappeared, and the slight traces left under the paper due to the force were easily wiped away.

Thor opened his eyes.

“Did the senior find something? So the things were taken away or destroyed, and he…”

Thor was reluctant to continue thinking.

But when he recalled the Byron who was covered with black nematodes and had a black crack in the middle of his head, he had to face a reality – Senior Byron in that state could not be alive!

Sol’s hands slammed hard on the long table, on the slightly corroded tabletop.

But as a spirit, he could only let his fists pass through the wood and fall powerlessly into the air.

Just like his powerlessness at this moment.

“Luo Kai! Jero!”

Senior Byron’s death must be related to the two of them!

They killed Byron and took his body away!

Sol’s translucent eyes were stained with gray bloodshot, and the skin around him gradually softened.

Slender tentacles like octopuses stretched out from under his skin, entwined and twisted, as if to turn Sol into a terrifying monster.

Although his appearance was no longer human, Sol’s heart was not as twisted as it appeared on the outside.

Instead, because of the venting outside, his mind became clearer.

“They deliberately took him away to conceal the news of his death. After all, if you leave the wizard tower, you will be considered dead only if you don’t come back for at least half a year. Senior Byron, did you find some information, or… did you want to pass on some information to me before being silenced?”

The transparent hands, which were still barely in human form, slowly pulled out from the wood and wiped a feather pen lying on the side.

There was some ink on the tip of the feather pen, and there were also a few drops on the table, which seemed to have splashed when the pen fell on the table.

Although Byron’s dormitory was messy, it was not dirty.

The ink should have been splashed when the feather pen fell when Byron was in trouble.

Thor stared at the pen steadily, and sadness and anger stubbornly wanted to break through his rational bottom line.

“After the feather pen fell, there was no sign of movement. The person who took action almost instantly… solved Byron. This person must not be an apprentice! Is it a mentor, or Gorza?”

Looking at it, Thor suddenly narrowed his eyes. He seemed to stand on the feather pen and saw some traces?

The tentacles on his body began to shrink, and Thor dropped to a height parallel to the table again.

The pen was thin and not very hard.

Thor saw a character carved with a fingernail at the place where his thumb held the pen.

No magic was used and the mark was very shallow. If you were not someone who carefully examined the items here, you would never notice it.

There was a character “grey” written on the pen.

Third update!
