Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 410

Chapter 408 New Moon Calendar

“The candles in the wizard tower never go out.”

The candlestick in Heywood’s hand was pulled down from the wall.

“This sentence used to be the first rule in the apprentice’s manual. Now it is the only rule. At night, the candles never go out.”

Thor approached the candlelight.

Not long after they entered the West Tower, it was completely dark.

It was so fast that it was a little unnatural.

It made Thor feel that this was not the real world.

He looked around the messy room and felt a little stuffy.

“After nightfall, the atmosphere here becomes very strange.” Thor pulled his collar. The air was too stuffy and he felt a little suffocated.

It was as if the air in a room was not enough for two people to breathe.

After nightfall, Heywood didn’t talk much.

He curled up in the corner, staring at the candlestick one meter away, as if he was afraid that it would go out at any time.

“I think someone is watching us.” Thor walked towards the door.

The door was temporarily assembled with the door of a dormitory. The gap between the door was a little big, and the cold wind blew in.

“Of course, there are a lot of people.” Heywood moved and rarely responded to Thor, “Don’t look around, wait until dawn.”

But Thor was not as cautious as Heywood. He didn’t plan to stay in this illusion for a hundred years.

The key to breaking the illusion is to break its rules.

Although this illusion is so real that Thor repeatedly doubts it, he is currently more inclined to believe that this is not the future.

But if he continues to stay like this, I’m afraid his understanding of truth and falsehood will become more and more blurred.

Now Thor knows enough about this place, but he hasn’t found a node that is enough to break through the illusion.

“Maybe the breakthrough is not in the wizard tower.”

Thor leaned towards the crack in the door.

The door is facing the bush full of skulls.

The wind is still howling, and the dark green grass branches are blown down.

The pale head showed its head, but was quickly submerged.

Looking at it, Thor had an illusion that among those groups of skulls, there was a face of a flesh and blood person hidden, staring at the people in the room through the crack in the door in front of Thor.

“Someone is watching me. This is not an illusion.” Thor endured the feeling of hair standing on end and scanned every head that was exposed to the grass, but still found nothing.

Thor slowly raised his head.

There was no moon tonight, but there were many stars. The starlight flickered in the sky, which was a little different from the sky in his memory.

“Are these stars distributed… too densely?”

Thor narrowed his eyes and looked more carefully.

Looking at it, he once again confirmed that these stars were not the stars in his memory.

There seemed to be a small black dot in the middle of the stars here.

Each black dot was pointed in Thor’s direction, like… the pupil of an eye.

Eyes? !

Thor put his hand on the door and was about to go out.

“What are you going to do?” Heywood behind him suddenly spoke.

Thor turned around and saw that Heywood was also staring at him.

There was only a little pupil in the large white of the eye.

Just like those stars.

Thor smiled, “I’ll go out and take a look.”

“You must not stay in a dark place.” Heywood said gloomily.

“The stars outside are so bright, is this also a place without light?”

Heywood was suddenly stunned, “Where are the stars outside?”

He seemed to suddenly react to something, and immediately took out more candles from the corner of the wall, not caring about the consumption at all, and lit each one.

When lighting the candle, his hand holding the flint was shaking slightly.

Seeing that Thor was still standing at the door, he said angrily: “What are you doing? Come and help light the candle! You have attracted those resentments! We need more candles to calm the resentment!”

Thor didn’t want to pay attention to Heywood at first. He was eager to check the stars, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that he was being watched more strongly.

A vague scream came from the crack of the door behind him. Thor turned around suddenly and was surprised to find that the original crack outside the door had become pitch black. There was no grass, no head facing the wizard tower, and no stars in the sky.

“Come here… Come here… Stay in the dark… You will die!” Heywood’s voice behind him became hoarse.

As soon as he finished speaking, Thor felt a dangerous murderous intent, which quickly passed from his fingers to his back like an electric shock.

There is danger!

His intuition warned him to dodge immediately.

But Thor stood there without moving despite the biting cold.

Then, he saw the diary in his spirit body suddenly open.

[Year 317 of the New Moon Calendar, May 14,

you are looking at the scenery behind the door, and

the person looking at the scenery

is looking at you.

] There

is no death reminder!

This is a crisis warning!

After reading the words in the diary, Thor took three steps back in an instant and stood directly beside Heywood.

The intuitive sense of crisis immediately weakened, but it has not been completely eliminated.

And as time goes by, this sense of crisis is still increasing!

Heywood has lit candles all over the floor and still has two in his hand, but the fear on his face has not subsided at all.

“They are coming, they are coming!”

“Who is it?” Thor turned his head to look at Heywood.

But Heywood just looked at the door, and the scar on his face was twitching.

Thor, who couldn’t get an answer, looked at the door again, but found that the gap in the door had become larger!

“No! It’s not that the gap has become larger, it’s that the door is getting smaller!” Thor also felt cold all over at this time, “It’s the darkness that is swallowing the door!”

The long-lost horror ran through his body along the blood, but Thor found a familiar feeling in this fear.

He suddenly calmed down.

His eyes fell on the diary again.

“New Moon Calendar 317, haha, so now is exactly now!”

Thor deliberately retreated a step slower after sensing the crisis, waiting for the diary to issue an early warning.

And there is a date on the diary!

“My initial analysis was correct. This is just an illusion, the attack effect of the black light!”

“This illusion is not complicated and there is no clear danger. If I guess correctly, the darkness will not completely invade this room this time.”

Thor was not as frightened as Heywood beside him, but he did not step forward to provoke the darkness.

As expected, after a few minutes of confrontation between light and darkness, the shadow on the door slowly receded.

Heywood breathed a sigh of relief. He blew out the extra candles with great pain, leaving only three just in case.

Then he said to Thor in a deeper voice: “Don’t explore and observe at night. If you attract pollution again, we will be dead.”

Unfortunately, Thor, who had just confirmed what he thought, did not listen.

“I guessed right. This illusion is not about lethal aggression. Therefore, the diary only gives a crisis warning, not a death warning. But it will take advantage of people’s suspicion. If it were someone else, after not being able to find a way out in a short time, they would become more and more suspicious of their own guesses; when they see the correct logic hidden in the illusion of this world, they would become more and more suspicious of whether they have come to a hundred years later.”

“And the more suspicious you are, the less likely you will find a way out! You may even be hypnotized by yourself!”

In the end, I’m afraid you will convince yourself that this is a hundred years later, and then be left in the mezzanine forever.

After confirming that this is an illusion, Thor also has some ideas about how to crack the illusion.

Thor held his chin and thought, “This illusion should only be about a hundred meters around the wizard tower. If I want to leave, I’m afraid I will immediately encounter approaching danger. And those stars above my head are probably the eyes in the mezzanine. They are really powerful.”

Now there are two ideas. One is to go into the darkness and fight against pollution. However, judging from the warning in the diary, the battle may be difficult. The other is to kill Heywood here… kill the output of this world view. “

Thor slowly turned his head and looked at the old man Heywood who was in a trance.

The latter stared at the candlelight in a daze.
