Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 398

Chapter 396 Searching for People and Hidden Dangers

Xiao Zao, who had just woken up, didn’t know what had happened.

It just played with the invisible little butterfly as usual, but who knew it could bite it this time.

Looking at the Nightmare Butterfly lying on the ground with its wings twitching, it turned to look at Thor in a bit of a panic.

Thor touched Xiao Zao’s head, “It’s okay, Penny… maybe it’s just a little depressed.”

After Xiao Zao swallowed the cryptocrystalline and fell asleep, Thor thought that it might change. Being able to touch the Nightmare Butterfly was unexpected, but reasonable.

After accepting the gift from the half-elf, Thor also gained the ability to touch the Nightmare Butterfly. But apart from that, no other uses have been found for the time being.

“Okay, I apologize to you on behalf of Xiao Zao.” Thor picked Penny up from the ground and found that although she was wet, she didn’t feel sticky like saliva, but rather like small drops of water condensed on the window in winter.

“To compensate you, I’ll give you half a cryptocrystalline.”

Upon hearing this, Penny flew up from Thor’s hand and screamed, “One.”

Thor smiled.

“Okay, half a cryptocrystalline, deal!” Penny changed her words instantly.

However, for tonight’s dream tour, Thor did not let Penny absorb the half cryptocrystalline immediately, lest it eat too much and fall asleep like algae.

At night, Thor returned to the dormitory next to Byron and fell asleep.

Sleep is a waste of time for many wizard apprentices. Only after accumulating fatigue for a long time will the apprentices take a nap to balance their own state.

Although there is no difference between sleep and meditation in the degree of recovery of the spirit body, and meditation is even more efficient, waking up from a deep sleep always gives people a feeling of physical and mental pleasure.

Therefore, every apprentice will choose to sleep once in a while. In addition to the housekeepers and servants in the lower level of the wizard tower, Thor is not worried that the power of dreams in the wizard tower is too scarce.

When Thor opened his eyes again, for a moment he could hardly confirm whether he was in a dream.

Because he was still lying in the unfamiliar dormitory, and the things around him were the same as before.

But when he sat up from the bed, he found a pair of silver butterfly wings behind him.

The wings looked like silver metal that had been processed and carved, but when Sol reached out to touch them, he felt a layer of fine hair on them.

Sensing the information in his mind, Sol controlled the wings behind him to flap slowly, and when he felt that he could control it freely, he immediately flapped his wings at a high frequency.

He did not feel that he moved, but the scene around him was receding rapidly.

It was like sitting on a high-speed train, watching the railings and trees outside the window recede rapidly.

The wings suddenly stopped, and he fell into a strange world.

There was a glow everywhere, fluctuating and intertwined. In addition to the glow, only a few children could be seen sleeping in the glow.

These children with human forms were probably the consciousness of the owner of the dream, and they looked harmless.

This time, Sol flapped his wings slowly, and his body began to move, slowly approaching the baby in the glow.

When he approached the group of babies, he found that none of them… had faces.

Their bodies were normal, except for their faces, which seemed to have been erased by something.

Perhaps Thor was shocked by the fluctuations in consciousness, or perhaps he was too close, one of the babies moved a little, and then turned its head without facial features to Thor.

“Not Senior Byron.” Thor immediately made a judgment from the other party’s mental fluctuations, and then flapped his wings quickly before all the babies turned their heads.

Fast flapping of wings means jumping between the dreams of different people and different consciousnesses.

Slow flapping of wings means moving in the same dream.

Although the legend of nightmare butterflies is mysterious, they are not without restrictions, otherwise they would not be chased by second-level wizards.

They harm or injure people mainly by changing people’s memories bit by bit in a subtle way.

The main thing they rely on is dream parade.

When the scene around him stopped again, Thor saw two huge faces facing each other.

The two faces were upright, and Thor flew for a while, but only flew from the mouth to the nostrils.

“With such a big face, it’s hard to tell what it looks like.”

When Thor was thinking about how to influence the other party, one of the faces suddenly opened his eyes.

He seemed to have discovered Thor’s existence, and his eyeballs were tilted downwards.

Then he suddenly opened his mouth, and a strong airflow directly dropped Thor to the bridge of the nose of the opposite face.

The face on the opposite side also woke up.

“This one is not it either.” After Thor confirmed that the other party was not Byron, he immediately flapped his wings.

The two huge faces facing each other immediately retreated into the distance.

Then Thor changed dozens of dreams.

He even suspected that one of them was the dream of a vengeful spirit.

Tonight, Thor did not encounter too dangerous existence, but at the same time, he did not find the consciousness of senior Byron.

Despite Penny’s assistance, after exploring dozens of dreams, Thor was kicked out of the dream because of the fatigue of his consciousness.

This time he quickly entered a deep sleep without any dreams.

For the next three days, Thor studied the gray matter potion during the day, looked for people in the first half of the night, and slept in the second half of the night.

Unfortunately, the distance between dreams often has nothing to do with the distance between its creators, so even if Thor slept next to Byron, he still couldn’t find any trace of the senior’s spirit.

The longer the time passed, the more anxious he became.

On the morning of the fourth day, someone suddenly knocked on the door of Thor’s dormitory.

Thor, who was still sleeping, immediately opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed.

He hurried over to open the door and was delighted to see Keli standing outside the door.

“You’re finally here.” Thor breathed a sigh of relief and quickly let Keli in.

Keli still had two half-moon-shaped dark circles under her eyes. After coming in, she sat down on the only chair in the living room.

“I’m so tired. I made ten batches of high-quality adhesives in the past two days. I did it in front of the tower master. My legs are weak now.”

Although Keli was scared to death when she first met Gorza, after three days of contact, Keli was much more natural when she saw Gorza.

This time, her legs were weak because she was really tired, not scared.

Sol had originally wanted to ask her about the adhesive, and he had left a note in her dormitory for this purpose, so he hurriedly and attentively brought her water and food.

“Can you give me a formula for a high-quality adhesive?”

Keli was gulping down water, and when she heard this, she put down her cup and looked at Sol.

She hesitated for a moment, “Sure, anyway, the instructor never said that this matter needs to be kept secret from you.”

After that, she stopped drinking water and directly took the paper and pen on Sol’s desk and began to copy.

She had already made ten batches of high-quality adhesive, and she could recite the formula by heart.

Sol watched her write down the entire preparation process bit by bit, and was still thinking in his heart whether there were any hidden dangers when these materials were put together.

However, this formula was more based on the formulas of other elemental properties, and many of them were beyond Sol’s knowledge.

So when Keli finished writing, Sol asked about all the parts he didn’t understand.

Although Keli had not yet been promoted to a third-level apprentice, she had a very profound knowledge and was even more familiar with adhesives and various toxins.

She immediately explained it to Sol.

“Keli, do you think there are any hidden dangers in this potion?”

“Hidden dangers?”

“For example, if this potion is added with materials of certain properties, it will become a highly toxic substance or something like that?”
