Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 456
Chapter 453 Silver Pocket Watch
After leaving Sander’s rental place, the carriage slowly drove on the streets of Blue Water City.
Thor was thinking in the car.
In fact, Sander said that the wizard named Karon was suspicious, but the evidence was not very strong.
Because for a second-level apprentice who has not been promoted to a third-level apprentice for decades, it is normal to want to find a safe and quiet place to retire.
As an ordinary person, Sander could not have thought that wizard apprentices could also predict the arrival of soul tides a certain time in advance.
Can a second-level apprentice really predict the changes in tides one or two days in advance?
Thor gently shook a page of recording paper Sander gave him.
That was a string of numbers Sander wrote down based on his memory.
Before Thor came, he only dared to remember this information in his mind and did not dare to write it down at all.
It seems that Sander’s memory is very good.
It’s a pity that Sander is already in his thirties, otherwise he can really test whether he can become a wizard apprentice.
There are too many guys around Thor, so he naturally won’t accept apprentices. Teacher Kaz probably didn’t feel like accepting new apprentices at this time.
However, there are some other wizard forces nearby, the largest of which is the Baidong Academy in the city of Archaeoster.
But since Sander is already in his thirties and close to 40, all this is just a regretful fantasy.
In addition to this piece of paper, Sander also gave Thor an heirloom, which is said to be left to him by his grandfather before his death.
At that time, his stepmother had not yet married into their family, and only he and his sister Midor could receive gifts from their grandfather, and the gift Midor received was the golden hairpin.
Sander got a rusty silver pocket watch.
The outer shell of the pocket watch was rusty, and the pointer inside was moving randomly. Although his grandfather told Sander that this was something passed down from their family, Sander still had no way to use it, but just put it close to his body as a thought.
But since Midor’s hairpin has such a mysterious ability, then perhaps this pocket watch is not simple.
The rusty silver pocket watch is also a representation of Sander’s identity. Sander dared not take it out to use it outside, and could not find the special power in it. It is better to give it to Thor as the only possible valuable reward he can give.
The reward he originally prepared for Thor was not this pocket watch.
But after Thor brought Midor here, he didn’t know how to repay this kind wizard.
Thor had already written down the contents on the paper, and a string of flames emerged from his palm, burning the white paper to ashes.
Then he looked at the rusty silver pocket watch.
Midor’s ability to hairpins did interest him, but that was the last support of the poor girl’s soul, so Thor didn’t try to snatch it.
Instead, Nightmare Butterfly had been urging Thor in his mind to kill Sander and take away the pocket watch and hairpins, so that no one would know that the pocket watch was with Thor.
Such behavior was indeed in line with Nightmare Butterfly’s usual way of dealing with the world, but Thor refused.
Thor shook the dust off his hands and opened the rusty silver pocket watch that Sander gave him again.
Agu sat opposite and looked at him with great interest.
“The pattern on the master’s pocket watch is very special. I suspect it is not something that uses the new moon calendar.”
As a soul that once wandered in the library, Agu read a lot of books and suffered a lot of injuries. Despite this, he insisted on absorbing new knowledge and looking for opportunities to escape from the wizard tower.
“If it’s not an item that uses the New Moon calendar, then it must have a history of at least three hundred years?”
If that’s the case, the rust on the pocket watch is pitifully small, and it has been well preserved.
“What calendar was it before the New Moon calendar?” This is Thor’s blind spot in knowledge.
In order to survive and get promoted, he used to learn knowledge that was practical in the present, and he didn’t know much about history, geography, and other knowledge.
“Before the New Moon calendar was the Dark Moon calendar. There are very few records in the books, but it only says that wizards often fought each other at that time, but it doesn’t specify the reasons. At that time, there were generally only two or three empires on a continent. Unlike now, empires are rare, and most of them are kingdoms with limited areas and power, or even smaller principalities.” Agu smiled, “In fact, the Principality of Kma is already considered to have a relatively large territory among many principalities. There is a piece of land in the southwest of the State Continent that is not much larger than the territory of the Principality of Kma, and there are a total of seven small principalities there.”
“That’s normal.” As a knowledgeable traverser, Thor was not surprised.
Thor used his mental power to scan the rusty pocket watch, and did not find any magic fluctuations on it.
He kept flipping through the pocket watch, even opening the back cover and removing the chain, but still did not find any abilities that matched the witchcraft props. He
just felt that the pattern on it was special.
And the hands of this pocket watch were indeed moving randomly. The previous second, Thor was still looking at the time on it, which was 3:15 pm, but after flipping it around, it became 9:22 am.
Thor continued to observe the movement of the hands and the speed of time change, but did not find any pattern. Of course, it may be that he has not found it yet.
“It’s so perfectly hidden, it’s interesting.” Thor put away the pocket watch, “Let’s study it together later.”
As a wizard who carries 6 consciousnesses and 2 pets with him, Thor is not worried about not having enough research assistants, but only worried that the materials he has can’t keep up with their consumption speed.
He thought about it. If he really wants to go to the Borderlands to build his own wizard tower, he must be prepared for the dangerous situation there.
At the same time, after successfully building the tower, he will also establish his own subject, no longer doing research for others, but focusing on his own knowledge, ability, and talent.
As for the subject, the most important thing is definitely the research diary. And his own soul, which was not afraid of the rejection of other people’s bodies, was also worth studying.
The carriage continued to drive in Blue Water City, but it was not looking for a place to live.
Thor did not plan to stay in Blue Water City, so he ordered the coachman Mash to leave directly for the airship platform – it would be a waste if he did not pluck the wool left by Teacher Gorza.
Even if he suspected that the owner of the broken wine glass might be the wizard Karon, there was no need to really confirm it.
After all, the other party’s goal might just be the resurrection experiment of Teacher Gorza.
In fact, their plan has been successful. Mrs. Euler was not resurrected, and the mentor left the western part of the continent.
Thor now plans to go to the Borderlands, but before that, he must be prepared.
Including but not limited to continuing to improve himself and understanding the situation in the Borderlands.
It is impossible to rush in without knowing it.
Even with the reminder of the dead wizard’s diary, there are some dangers that cannot be avoided even if they are foreseen.
Thor’s current plan is to go to the rumored wealthy and prosperous city of Archaost.
The urban culture there is very special. The wizards put down their status and made many witchcraft props that are convenient for people’s livelihood. The social system is also different from that of the principality. In particular, some witchcraft props that Thor had been interested in for a long time are sold to the outside world.
This special urban culture is the real reason why Baidong College took root and rose rapidly after coming out of the no-man’s land, right?
At this moment, the carriage slowed down and slowly stopped.
Thor and Agu looked out at the same time.
On the street outside, two or three pedestrians also stopped and looked at the direction of Thor’s carriage.
Just now, a man dressed as a servant suddenly stopped the carriage.
The servants who had been rampant in Blue Water City for many years did not expect that the other party did not stop the car urgently after seeing someone stop the car, but slowly slowed down.
When the car stopped completely, the tall horse pulling the car lifted its lips and sprayed saliva on his face.
Mash sneered in his heart. How could he shake Lord Thor for a roadblocker?
“What’s the matter?”
The servant realized that his behavior of stopping the car in a hurry just now made the other party dissatisfied.
He was so scared that he quickly stepped back and lay on the ground.
“Please inform the wizard in the carriage that Lord McKen of Bluewater City and Wizard Caron have prepared a sumptuous dinner and comfortable accommodation, and invite you to come.”
Marsh curled his lips. This attitude was okay.
He turned around and repeated it in a low voice towards the crack of the door.
“That Wizard Caron actually took the initiative to invite me? Is it a trap?” Thor looked at the diary in his mind.
The diary floated quietly and turned over lazily.
