Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 520

Chapter 515 Old Witch

“Huh? No more headache?”

After the shadow under the sea escaped, the headache that had been tormenting Thor disappeared.

But when he shook his head, he still felt water in it.

His left ear was a little itchy.

Thor tilted his head to the left, and then patted his right ear.

“Splash!”

There was a clear sound of water flowing in his left ear canal, and then he felt something flowing out of his ear.

Thor immediately raised his left hand to catch it, and felt a drop of cold thing falling into his palm.

He looked down and saw that it was a drop of black water.

The water drop seemed to be very dense, and it immediately gathered like pearls in his palm. Thor shook his palm, and the pearls trembled slightly like jelly.

“Is this the water that entered my brain?”

Thor suddenly noticed that he hadn’t been hit in the face by the waves for a long time.

He stood up carefully and walked to the edge of the truncated table. Only then did he see that the boundless sea had calmed down for some reason, and even the sound of the waves was much smaller.

“The platform seems to have risen a few meters… No, it should be the sea level that is falling. This is good news.”

The danger seems to have gone away.

“Well, if you look down from this angle, it looks a bit like the sea I saw when I was in a coma when I first got the golden page.”

“It’s just that it was the golden page that saved me from the sea instead of the consciousness platform. Why did the diary stop working today?”

Thor looked up and stretched out his right hand to the diary.

The diary finally responded and fell from the sky.

At the moment the diary fell into his palm, Thor suddenly had an idea, “This diary… doesn’t want to get wet?”

In order to relieve the tension in his heart, a self-deprecating thought flashed through his mind, and Thor looked down at the white page of the diary. There are new words on it.

[New Moon Calendar Year 317, October 21, Qing

After water entered your brain,

you got a drop of pure black tide.

Please use it with caution.

Remember one sentence,

in the wizard’s world,

pollution comes from the knowledge in the brain, the starry sky above the head…

and the black tide in the heart. ]

Another rare item recognized by the diary!

No, this is not just a treasured item.

According to the description in the diary, this is clearly one of the most terrifying things in the world.

“But where did this drop of black tide come from?” Thor looked at the black tide in his left hand and the diary in his right hand, thinking about the origin of this rare and dangerous material.

He recalled what he had done during this period of time, “Oh, it should be because I absorbed the pollution from those villagers and Claude!”

“The extremely domineering killing rules of those villagers are probably caused by this pollution! I absorbed the pollution in the villagers according to my previous experience, thinking that they would be absorbed by the diary and the starry sky in the consciousness space and would not affect myself. I didn’t expect that the pollution entered my body and turned into a drop of black tide, which almost drowned me.”

Thor closed the diary and reflected on his negligence this time.

“I used the method of absorbing pollution to save people and exchanged information about the no man’s land. Now it seems that I was too careless. The pollution here is much more serious and severe than that in the western region. If I continue to act recklessly with the diary, I will kill myself sooner or later.”

After summarizing the experience, Thor summarized his gains.

“Let’s not talk about that information for now. The Dream Bell is a great item. Of course, the most important thing is this drop of Black Tide.”

“Claude finally remembered that the reason their village formed such a powerful kill rule was because this rule was recognized by the Borderlands. But now it seems that it should be recognized by the Black Tide in essence. But why is the Borderlands equal to the Black Tide?”

“Agu also once told me that when encountering danger in the Borderlands, you must first observe the rules here, and then choose a subsequent course of action. In this case, are all areas with powerful rules affected by the Black Tide? Is the Borderlands full of Black Tides?”

The diary said that pollution comes from the black tide in the heart.

If there are black tides everywhere in the Borderless Land, it is no wonder why it is so dangerous here!

It seems that something extraordinary has been discovered.

Thor looked down at the platform again. The black tide had retreated so far that the distance could not be seen clearly. More stars reappeared on all sides of the round platform.

“It’s time to go back.” Thor clenched a drop of black tide in his hand and was about to close his eyes to return to his body, but suddenly found something wrong. “The time on the diary just now is… 21st? When I came here, it was clearly only the 17th. How come there are three days missing in the middle?”

If he was really imprisoned in the world of consciousness for so long, then there was only Mash outside. I don’t know how anxious he must be.

Thor calmed down, made the worst plan, and then officially closed his eyes.

Consciousness returns!

…

When Thor slowly opened his eyes, there was a dark small room in front of him, with a row of wooden fences nearby.

There was a cold stone slab under him and a rough stone wall behind him.

He looked up and looked around, sighing silently, “It’s really a bad situation.”

Thor was actually locked in a half-man-high wooden cage!

“It should be that I met other people during the days when I was trapped in the consciousness body. But I was just caught…” Thor checked his body in the limited space. No parts were missing, and even his clothes were not touched. “It’s a blessing in disguise. I really can’t absorb pollution casually in the future.”

“Are you awake?” A hoarse old woman’s voice sounded in the darkness.

A terrifying human face suddenly appeared outside the cage, tightly squeezed between two fences.

Her face was wrinkled as if it had shrunk, and her eyes and ears were surprisingly large. A sparse white long hair was tied high behind her head, and a lively finger was hanging at the end of her hair.

When she spoke, the corners of her mouth almost stretched to her ears.

“If you don’t wake up, I will have to dismantle you and see if there is any use for you.”

“Where is my driver?” Thor couldn’t sense the other party’s strength, but it shouldn’t exceed the second level.

“Heh…” When the old woman spoke, a fishy smell came out of her mouth, as if a pickled fish was stuck in her throat. “Your driver has been asking about your situation these days. When you woke up, you also asked about his situation. He is doing well. After watering for a few days, new mushrooms have grown.”

Thor’s eyes widened. “Did you plant him?”

“Hmm?” The old woman stretched out her fingers with thick joints and rough skin and touched her chin. “Your suggestion is good.”

It seems that he is still alive.

Thor relaxed his shoulders and carefully rubbed the skin of his left wrist under the cover of his robe.

There was an inconspicuous bulge there, and underneath it was the storage device he bought from Archaost.

Seeing that the old woman did not take his storage device, Thor was relieved.

“Who are you? Why did you arrest me and my driver?”

“Not arresting,” the old woman shook her finger with a teasing smile, “You are the garbage I picked up when I went out. But some of you can still be used, and some of you can only be disassembled to see if there are any valuable parts. As for me, you can just call me old witch, and you don’t need to know the rest.”

Thor’s eyes moved to both sides and found that there were more than a dozen cages next to the cage where he was imprisoned.

Five of the cages contained people or non-human creatures, and the others were empty.

The other imprisoned people were sitting huddled together, and two of them clearly exuded the strength of a first-level wizard.

It seems that the old woman is a second-level wizard.

Thor took a deep breath and was almost choked again, “Mr. Old Witch…”

“No need to use a honorific. I don’t like people who honor me on the surface but curse me in their hearts.”

“Okay, old witch, what do you have to do to let me go?” Thor relaxed his shoulders.

The old witch reached into the cage and ran her fingertips across Thor’s chin. “Whatever I pick up is mine and I will never let it go. I will only tear you apart when you are no longer useful to me.”
