Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 560

Chapter 555: Spirit Reading Candle

This settlement was not very large, and Thor saw the people he had seen before he came in after walking a few steps.

They were arranged to enter an underground passage, and the chains under their feet had been untied, but their eyes were still blindfolded.

This time he saw that the last person also had a hole in the sole of his foot.

The wound had healed for a long time, but there was still a hint of dark red on the sole of the foot, as if it had bled not long ago.

Thor watched those people disappear into the tunnel without tilting his head, “What are these people doing? Why did they come back from outside covered in mud?”

Kismet still did not give a direct answer, but just said: “It’s normal here.”

He turned to ask Thor: “Are you… here because of the rumors about quicksand termites?”

Hearing Kismet’s understatement, Thor’s heart sank.

Could it be that many people know about the quicksand termites?

Then how could he secretly move the entire ant nest back?

Wait, these words came out of Kismet’s mouth…

Thor looked up suddenly, and saw Kismet’s eyes narrowed with laughter, “This is actually a scam. The survivors in the ancient forest are not quicksand termites, but arched termites that look very similar, but have completely different abilities.”

“Scam… Scam?” Thor stared at Kismet.

The smile on Kismet’s face gradually disappeared, and he pointed at his nose and puffed his cheeks, “…Does it mean that it is a scam, and I must have done it?”

Thinking about him helping him get in before, Thor finally retracted his suspicious eyes.

But he really wanted to nod in his heart.

Kismet pulled Thor over, “Let’s go, what’s the point of standing here, although there are no quicksand termites here, but there are many other good things.”

Other good things?

Thor thought about it and didn’t leave directly.

You need an introducer to enter this settlement, and I think there should be relatively rare and valuable witchcraft materials inside.

This is something that it is difficult for a traveling merchant like Jiajiagu to collect for him. It would be

good if we could establish a purchasing channel here. It’s just a bit far.

Thor followed Kismet through a narrow path.

There were many ordinary people here, but most of them were pale and thin.

Occasionally, wizard apprentices and a few formal wizards could be seen, but they were all in a hurry.

Thor observed and found that many wizards and apprentices were walking in the same direction as them. It

was just because of their faster pace that they walked ahead of them one by one.

In this way, following the intermittent flow of people, Thor followed Kismet to a bungalow that looked nothing special on the outside.

Only after entering did Thor find that the house actually extended diagonally downward.

When entering the door, Kismet also showed something, and it was obvious that a pass was also required to enter here.

The two walked down dozens of steps and came to the hall covered by layers of gauze curtains.

There were many people behind the gauze curtains.

When a person passed them and hurriedly lifted the gauze curtain to go in, Thor immediately felt a wave of heat coming out from the gap that was opened.

Like a tongue of fire in a stove, it suddenly stretched out and burned his cheek.

“It’s strange, but it smells familiar.”

Kismet thought for a moment, “You may be familiar with this smell, but it’s not the same thing at all.”

After saying that, Kismet went in first.

Thor looked at the red and purple gauze curtains in front of him, and he felt that this was not a place to exchange witchcraft materials.

“Isn’t this place…” Thor suddenly thought of a place. He looked at the diary, but there was no warning. In the end, he lifted the veil and walked in.

As soon as he entered, Thor saw a large area of white flesh.

There were wizards and ordinary people.

And ordinary people, both men and women, were covered with a thin veil. When walking, the veil would sometimes be lifted up, turning the hidden things into a clear view.

They all had beautiful faces and well-proportioned figures. They had looks that ordinary people would envy.

Kismet actually brought him here? And said this is a good place?

Well, it can’t be considered a bad place.

But he shouldn’t take it so seriously, right?

At this time, a beautiful girl wearing a white veil came forward and asked respectfully: “Please come in, my two adults. Would you like to rest in the hall or go to the box?”

Thor looked at the beauty in front of him from head to toe, and then from toe to head.

Kismet didn’t say anything beside him.

Thor looked back at him, “Are they all witchcraft creations?”

“Yes, they are all nearing the end of their lifespans, and they are given to apprentices to practice with.”

Hearing Kismet’s words, the girl looked a little uneasy, but she still had a perfectly angled smile on her face.

It was as if her eyes and mouth did not belong to the same person at this moment.

Thor had just carefully observed her and had determined that she was a woman whose biological age was less than 30, but whose remaining lifespan was less than two years.

Probably except for her pair of trembling eyes, her entire body had been transformed.

Thor had no interest in the first place, and now he was in no mood at all.

“Do you have anything else for sale here?”

The girl in white veil quickly replied, “Since it is your first time here, the Pandi Court only sells one thing.”

She took a small cylinder from the belt behind her back. She gently pinched the lid of the cylinder with her middle finger and thumb, then raised her arm and showed Thor what was inside.

“This is our only cargo, the soul-reading candle.”

Thor did not immediately take the candle from the other person’s hand, but scanned the hall again.

He then realized that all the wizards and wizard apprentices in the hall had such an ordinary candle in front of them.

Even if these people were holding beauties in their arms, their minds were not on love. They just stared blankly at the candle in front of them, taking deep breaths from time to time.

They looked intoxicated.

In such a crowded place, these wizards seemed to be completely defenseless and let themselves enter a daze.

Something was wrong!

Thor used teleportation to ask Kismet, “Is this the essence of the scam you mentioned?”

Kismet’s eyes showed a smile, and he also used teleportation to reply, “Smart. They raise bow-backed termites in the ancient forest of survivors. When this kind of termite bites people, it will secrete a special formic acid that paralyzes the bitten person, but the mind is particularly clear. They will clearly feel themselves being dismembered bit by bit, and then sent to the queen ant in the deepest part of the nest for enjoyment.”

“The great wizard Monte here has found a way to detoxify the formic acid, then dilute it, and finally solidify it to get the soul-reading candle. Wizards and apprentices can make their brains reach an extremely excited state by absorbing the candle incense. At this time, whether it is learning new witchcraft or deciphering obscure runes, it will be much easier than before. It can also help you temporarily enhance the effect of meditation.”

Kismet swept his chin across the audience, “So many of the wizards and apprentices here are those who are stuck at a certain stage and have been unable to advance. They regard the Pandit as their last hope for advancement.”

“Of course,” he shrugged again, “it’s just a little expensive.”

Thank you for the tips from the big guys, and thank you for the monthly tickets from all the readers! !
