Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 483

Chapter 480 The Hidden Monster

On the way back to the temporary residence, Thor had confirmed that the scorpion tail that was stored in the diary had been destroyed and absorbed, and he was very depressed.

In the past, Thor would remove the scorpion tail needle before storing An in the diary. But today, the situation was urgent, and An suddenly lost control, which made Thor wonder if the pollution attached to the scorpion tail affected An’s mind during the battle.

In addition, there was a root monster under his feet that might continue to attack, so Thor could only deal with An’s problem as soon as possible and take him away.

However, compared with the loss of the scorpion tail needle, the sudden attack on An by the root monster was more serious.

Those roots looked delicate, but they were actually very tough and could not be cut by ordinary weapons.

When he saw that An’s scorpion tail needle did not work on the roots, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

That root was not afraid of the pollution of evil spirits.

The most important thing was… it was just a root. What was connected behind the root?

Was it the big tree that Kismet wanted to “give” him?

After hurriedly returning to the temporary residence, Agu came up to him, “Master, why did you come back so suddenly?”

Sol told Agu what happened in the woods today.

At this time, An also recovered.

“An, why did you suddenly lose control just now?” Sol asked her.

An was still a little dazed in her diary.

[I’m not very clear, I just felt that there were suddenly many more thoughts in my consciousness… There seemed to be something disgusting in those tree roots.]

“Tree roots, are you sure it’s tree roots?”

[Well, when I was unconscious, I could vaguely feel that the plant behind the roots was a big tree.]

“Can you find out where the tree is exactly?”

[No, the tree is far away from me, and I was not very sober at the time.]

At this time, Herman, who was watching from the side, said with some fear.

[These roots are so powerful. If it is that big tree, wouldn’t they all reach the strength of the second level? 】

Agu, who was sitting next to Thor, shook his head, “Master encountered a root monster in the city and in the suburbs outside the city. If the monster can move, it’s fine, but if it can’t move…”

Morton supplemented Agu’s unfinished words in the diary.

[If the big tree can’t move, the range of its roots is too large. 】

Sol understood what they meant. According to the strength of the roots, plus the range of the roots, the big tree might be enough to match the combat power of a city.

If a city can be destroyed in one fell swoop, doesn’t it mean that the big tree has the strength of the third level?

Thinking of this, Thor immediately had the urge to leave here.

But after thinking about it, he didn’t really run away.

Archaeoster was built not for one or two years, and there was no rumor that wizards had been in trouble because of tree monsters.

Besides, in the wizard world, it is normal for a monster to appear. Can he choose a safe place to stay? There is not enough witchcraft material for Thor to study in such a place.

Thor took a deep breath, “It’s still unclear why the tree monster attacked An. An should not go out casually during this period. The same goes for you, Agu. I’ll go to Baidong College to inquire about the news.”

Thor did what he said and

went straight to find Char. People like Char who always think that others will hurt him generally don’t like to go out. Thor went directly to his house to find him.

As expected, Char was at home, but this time he didn’t let Thor in.

“…Tree roots?” Char was stunned for a moment, then he said hesitantly, “I heard that there was a big tree in Ancient City, but that tree was burned down many years ago.”

“Burned?” Thor doubted that the big tree might not have been burned down, “Hasn’t there been any cases of plant roots attacking people before?”

Char spread his hands, “Anything can attack people in Ancient City, plants, animals, monsters… Even if there have been roots attacking people before, we can’t be sure if they are the roots of the same plant.”

Thor thought for a while and asked again: “Why are there so many evil spirits in Archaoste? Is there no other way to prevent them except to capture them?”

When asked this question, Char’s expression was a little wrong. He licked the corner of his mouth and lowered his voice: “If you really want to know, just ask Dean Pound. Archaoste can become prosperous now, which is entirely due to Dean Pound’s initiative.”

He stood in the shadow under the eaves, his expression was gloomy, “You always have to pay a price to get something, right?”

Char should know some of the truth, but he was obviously unwilling to tell Thor.

After Thor left, he really followed Char’s advice and went to find Dean Pound.

But he did not ask about the cause of the abnormality of Archaoste City. Even if he asked, Dean Pound would not tell him.

Thor took advantage of the incident in the suburbs where he was attacked to ask Dean if there was any new progress in the last research on root monsters.

He noticed that Dean Pound looked panicked for a moment when he heard that the root monster appeared in the suburbs.

However, the other party quickly covered up his panic as surprise, and expressed his suspicion that the monster that appeared in the underground sewer last time had left the city.

He told Thor that he could tell Kent the whole story. Kent was responsible for the evil spirit incidents that were difficult for the sweepers to handle. He would gather people, share intelligence, and organize people to concentrate on conquering the evil spirits that a small number of wizards could not resist.

After Thor learned about it, he asked casually, “Has Kent always been responsible for the evil spirit incidents?”

The dean told Thor that it was another wizard before, but after that wizard died unexpectedly

in the battle with the evil spirit, it was Kent who took over. After Kent took over, very few wizards died in the battle with the evil spirit.

Dean Pound told Thor that if he found a threat, he could tell Kent, and he was still very enthusiastic.

A wizard? Enthusiastic?

Thor thanked the dean on the surface, but actually left Baidong College with a complicated mind.

Now he is basically sure that the dean knows about the root monster. It is even possible that Dean Pound is the one who cultivated the root monster!

Last time, he specifically called Thor to the bell tower and showed him the rhizome trapped in the test tube. It was probably to test how much he knew about the root monster.

To test whether he had obtained part of the root system.

The witch Beth who appeared in the bell tower at that time should also be related to this hidden monster.

There are many wizards in Archaost, and Thor is not the only outsider. They are so vigilant about Thor, probably because they are still worried about Gorza behind Thor.

This also shows in disguise that the hidden troubles of Baidong Academy cannot be solved by a formal wizard.

After this incident, Thor did not show any abnormality afterwards. He even participated in the sweeper’s mission more frequently, just to collect new evil spirits.

Although the scorpion tail needle was accidentally consumed without success, it also proved that Thor’s idea of soul arming was not a problem.

He wanted to take advantage of the days in Archaost to collect as many evil spirit fragments as possible, and it would be best if all four consciousnesses could be armed!

During this period, I don’t know if his several “complaints” aroused the vigilance of the dark people, and he never encountered the root monster again.

At the same time, after several operations, Thor also found that when an evil spirit is just born, it can be subdued in the easiest way.

Since new evil spirits are always born in Archaoste, Thor can completely leave the guard team and find new evil spirits by himself.

So, the nightmare butterfly Penny was sent out by Thor to look for abnormal spirits growing in dark corners every night.

But what Thor didn’t expect was that the first person to bring him the news of the new evil spirit was not Penny, but Xiaozao!

Chapter 2 was still at night. It was really tiring to go out and play.
