Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 559

Chapter 554: Barbarian Ritual

The monster with a huge head and huge hands was so scared that it shrank back behind the door.

When everyone came in, the monster closed the door.

Thor saw that the monster had a big head and hands, but a small torso and lower limbs. When it shrank behind the door, it could only lean on the wall or the door to prevent itself from falling.

“Who are you?” The old man’s voice sounded.

Thor turned around and saw an old man behind the door opposite the passage.

His upper body was intact, and he was staring at Thor arrogantly.

But his lower body was completely submerged in a clay pot as tall as a person.

It seemed as if it was planted in the soil.

“I’m passing by and want to come in here to rest for a night. Is that okay?”

The old man looked at Thor and spoke stiffly, “Do you have an introducer?”

“Introducer?” Thor was startled.

“You can’t enter without an introducer! Our settlement is where there is a second-level great wizard. Don’t think about forcing your way in.”

There is actually a second-level wizard in such a small settlement?

Thor would definitely not easily clash with a second-level wizard. He was just hesitating whether to go directly into the survivors’ forest without asking for information when another voice sounded beside the old man.

“Let me be his introducer~”

Kismet walked out from behind the door with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.

Thor’s pupils shrank and he said nothing.

The old man in the flower pot looked at Kismet suspiciously – the latter exuded the magic fluctuations of a first-level wizard.

“Do you really know him?”

Kismet’s smile did not diminish. “Although I’m surprised to meet him here, he is my brother. How could I not know him?”

“Your brother?” The old man with the flowerpot looked at Thor suspiciously, then at Kismet. “You don’t look alike at all.”

Kismet walked over and put his hand on Thor’s shoulder. “You are actually discussing whether wizard brothers look alike? Do you think we are not worthy of wizard body transformation?”

“Huh, okay, I won’t ask anymore. You guys go in.” The old man with the flowerpot was obviously too lazy to listen to Kismet’s excuses. Since he said he knew Thor, then just assume he knew him.

After the two of them walked out of the passage of the wall, Thor pushed Kismet’s hand away, “Didn’t you go to Iskep? What are you planning to do when you come back?”

Kismet covered his chest with a sad face, “I heard that the master’s brother had arrived in the Borderlands, so I ran here secretly, thinking of giving you the third golden page that I promised you.”

Thor crossed his arms, “Oh? Do you know where I live now?”

“Of course, the reputation of the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower has also begun to spread in the Borderlands. In fact, just because you have been recognized by Clark, the reputation of the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower has soared.” Kismet immediately turned into a smile again.

“Hehe, you know where I am, so you come here to find me?”

Kismet: “Uh…”

Thor was about to ask Kismet for the golden page, when suddenly a boy ran towards them.

Just as he was about to run in front of Thor, a tall and thin man pounced on the boy and threw him to the ground.

The boy had a ferocious face, and as soon as he fell to the ground, he wanted to elbow the adult behind him.

But at this time, a pair of rough big hands held him down.

The boy looked up and saw the third person. He was stunned and did not resist.

The man holding the boy’s arm had a stubble on his face. He looked up and said to the people who came from behind: “I’m holding him down, hurry up!”

Two men in brighter clothes came from behind. They squatted at the boy’s feet, one held his ankle, and the other held a nail and a hammer. Without hesitation, they knocked two deep bloody holes in the soles of the boy’s feet.

“Ah!!!” The boy looked about eleven or twelve years old. How could he endure such pain?

While screaming, he stared at the bearded man who held his arm, and soon he began to cry.

The boy’s feet were wrapped with dark yellow bandages by the people behind him. The man holding his arm carried the boy on his shoulders and took him back.

“Drilling holes in the soles of the feet? What kind of custom is this?”

Kismet smiled and said, “The custom of the barbarians.”

At this time, a wizard apprentice passed by and heard what the two said. He was about to glare at them, but found that they were two first-level wizards.

He quickly lowered his head and pretended that he didn’t exist. But Thor still noticed the apprentice’s reaction. He touched his chin and thought, “It seems that this custom is also related to wizards.”

He closed his eyes and recalled.

The seven blindfolded men I saw before entering here… Did they have a hole on the soles of their feet?

…

Hearing others comment on the solemn ceremony of the settlement as “barbarian customs”, the wizard apprentice named Nick was very angry.

But he was even more angry that he could only bow his head and pretend that he didn’t exist in front of two wizards!

He has been stuck at the third-level apprentice for twenty years, and there was no hope of promotion before.

But when he came here, he found that the barrier that prevented him from being promoted was actually loosened a little. In his heart, this ceremony is extremely great!

How can people be allowed to comment like this?

Although he has no ability to teach two first-level wizards a lesson, he can find someone!

And this person is the most powerful person in the settlement… a second-level wizard!

Their great wizard Lord Monte!

So Nick, feeling indignant and some inexplicable emotions, took the opportunity to report the results and complained to the Great Wizard.

“That’s it, Great Wizard.” Nick knelt on the ground, not feeling ashamed. “Now these wizards outside are enjoying the benefits given by you, but they still comment on your ceremony like this. I think they are really ungrateful and should be taught a lesson.”

However, while Nick was chattering here, the Great Wizard opposite him who was kneeling to him didn’t even look at him.

The Great Wizard Monte was checking the wooden frame rotating at a constant speed on the charcoal rack.

There was a person tied to the wooden frame, and he was also evenly roasted as the wooden frame moved.

His skin had already turned dark red and almost black, but his chest was still rising and falling slightly, and it was obvious that he was still breathing.

At this time, a white liquid suddenly dripped from his tightly closed eyes.

The Great Wizard’s eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out to collect the drop of liquid into the bottle at hand.

“This concentration is good.” The Great Wizard admired it happily for a while, and then turned around, but found that the person on the grill was dead.

“Another one died.” The Great Wizard frowned slightly, then turned to Nick who was kneeling on the ground and said, “You should buy more slaves this time. Now is the time of high production. I don’t want to have any problems with such a simple thing as the meat nest.”

He did not mention the two people that Nick had just complained about, and it was obvious that he didn’t care at all.

“Yes, sir.” Nick leaned over quickly and didn’t dare to say anything more.

After the apprentice left, a woman with a big belly walked out of the house behind.

The woman’s face was flushed, and she lowered her head and smiled as she stroked her belly.

She walked out and saw the dead person on the grill, and her eyes showed disgust.

“Ordinary people can only last too short a time, and their production capacity is also low.”

The Great Wizard asked knowingly, “Why, you still want to use apprentices as meat nests?”

The woman curled her lips, “How is it possible? How big is the difference between apprentices and ordinary people?”

The implication was that he wanted to use wizards as meat nests.

Although the Great Wizard was a second-level wizard, he was still a little hesitant to take action against formal wizards. Once discovered by others, he might become the public enemy of the no-man’s land.

The Great Wizard waved his hand and threw the body out of the room without responding to the woman’s words.

Although the woman was a little unhappy, she didn’t dare to be too presumptuous in front of a second-level wizard.

Her belly moved twice, causing the woman to instantly lose color in pain.

But after the pain, she put on a smile again and stroked her belly.

“In another year or two, He will be able to come.”

The woman looked at her belly with burning eyes, but it was not the look of a mother looking at her child at all.

The Great Wizard also stared at the woman’s belly, but unlike the woman’s reverence, his fiery eyes were mixed with a hint of greed.

In another year or two…
