Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 616

Chapter 610: Poor Apprentice and Serious Senior

Byron still used the place where he stayed as his laboratory. He took the black powder and went back to his room to study alone.

Thor greeted the senior he hadn’t seen for a long time – although the senior was not as strong as him now – and went to see Noah, the apprentice he had thrown into the Chaos Domain a day late.

The Chaos Domain was still full of black sand and soil. The terrain was flat and undulating, and there were no high mountains or forests. Only at the end of the sky could you see some black and gray ups and downs like mountains.

Thor turned around and saw a crooked little house on a small hill.

Or it could be called a small shack.

The materials for building the house were mainly some unused shelves that Thor threw to Noah.

The coachman Mash, who no longer drove the car, provided huge mushrooms, but unfortunately these mushrooms could not thrive in the Chaos Domain. They could only grow to the thickness of an index finger in a potted plant, which was barely enough to fill the stomach.

Thor walked a few steps to the side of this simple house and walked around but didn’t see Noah.

He simply flew into the air, and soon saw the apprentice working with his head down in a low-lying area in the distance.

Thor flew over and saw Noah pulling out a dark green plant from the ground, which looked a bit like aloe vera.

“Teacher!” Noah looked up and saw Thor, and was immediately excited and tears welled up in his eyes.

The days in the chaotic domain were very difficult to bear. He wanted to meet other people, but was afraid to meet other people. Living alone, except for the sunrise and sunset, there was almost no feeling of time passing.

In addition, Thor did not come within a month, and Noah had not slept well in the past two days. He was always worried that Thor had left him here alone.

Looking at the tearful little apprentice, Thor also knew what he was worried about, and couldn’t help but smile and touch the other’s head.

When the algae flew out from Thor’s neck and wrapped around Noah’s lower abdomen, Thor took Noah back to his hut.

“Didn’t you use the witchcraft props I gave you when you built this house?”

Some witchcraft props can also be used by ordinary people without magic.

Noah shrank his neck. “I, I think it’s better to save more magic crystals before I get familiar with this place, so I didn’t want to use them.”

He was a little worried that Thor would blame him for not trusting him.

But Thor approved of Noah’s choice. “Well, after all, you live here alone, and it’s more important to have your own opinions. What’s in your hand, a plant from here?”

Noah raised his hand. “It’s a plant with a lot of water. I tested it with the reagent you left. It’s basically safe, so I want to transplant it near the house to see if I can grow more.”

Although Thor also left a lot of food for Noah, he was still trying to explore new ways of survival.

Thor looked at the other things Noah picked up one by one, a small amount of shriveled plants, some remains of suspected biological corpses, and a lot of useless stones.

Because Noah’s knowledge reserve was not enough, Thor did not blame him, but encouraged him to continue exploring, but on the premise of ensuring his own safety.

“How many basic runes have you learned now?”

“Three.” Noah immediately squatted down and wrote them directly on the ground with his fingers.

Without the ability to infuse magic power or mobilize mental power, Noah could only memorize the runes by rote.

“You can learn two runes by yourself without any guidance? It seems that you have a good talent for graphics. But when you learn compound runes in the future, this talent will not be enough.”

Thor squatted down without any hesitation, “I will teach you a method called coordinate method, which will make it easier for you to remember, and most importantly, it will make it easier for you to understand compound runes in the future.”

There was no one around, so Thor used the ground as a blackboard and combined his experience in learning runes with his experience in casting spells over the years to re-integrate a set of coordinate methods to teach the apprentice.

Noah’s eyes widened, as if he saw a new world.

A day passed in a hurry in the eager study. Thor finally told Noah to be careful of monsters and intelligent creatures, and then left the chaotic area and returned to the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower.

Sensing Thor’s return, the butler Hope immediately came to the door.

“Master, Mr. Byron came to see you at night.”

Senior Byron is actually a homebody, and he usually doesn’t take the initiative to come to see you if there is nothing to do.

Thor hurriedly found Byron and saw that his room was already full of draft papers.

“…” Thor stood at the door and felt like he had no idea where to start. “You adapt quickly!”

Byron looked up and didn’t pay any attention to Thor’s complaints. “Look at this.”

Thor praised the mess on the floor and came to the table. He was shocked to find that Byron’s hands were full of blisters. Some of the blisters had broken and were still leaking green juice.

“Pollution?” Thor frowned immediately.

But Byron pointed to the parchment spread out on the table, “Look at this.”

Thor then moved his eyes to the paper.

The parchment was filled with crooked words, and a conclusion was drawn at the end.

… The formula for the composition of black powder (Byron’s abbreviation for the powder that Thor brought back from the Chaos Domain, which has the same pollution source characteristics as the black tide) is reversible. Once this formula is mastered, the black tide pollution unique to the Borderlands can also be converted into inert black powder… Similarly, by reversing the formula, the inert black powder can also be restored to active black tide pollution.

Thor’s mouth slowly opened wide. He didn’t expect that Byron had only spent one day to come to this conclusion.

“Look, is there any problem with my derivation? If you don’t see the problem, then I will derive the formula in this direction. Well… let’s call it the inertization formula.”

Thor read the entire formula and didn’t find any logical errors at first glance.

Then his first reaction was to show it to Camus, but he rejected this idea the next second.

It’s better for him and Senior Byron to study this inertization formula together.

He couldn’t rely on Camus for everything, or he would lose the habit of independent thinking.

“I haven’t found any problems yet. It may be that the time is too short. Let me take it back and study it.” Thor immediately performed a 0th-order copying technique and copied the parchment without any magical properties.

This was a problem that Thor had never thought of, and it immediately aroused his strong interest.

If the pollution in the Borderlands can be inertized into almost harmless black powder, then when the black tide really breaks out in the future, can it prevent himself and the people around him from being alienated and polluted?

He has too many things to do recently, and even though he got the black powder a long time ago, he has not had time to study it in depth.

As a result, Byron suddenly pressed down the parchment that Thor copied with a palm.

Juice splashed everywhere.

“No!” Byron refused to study this topic with Thor. “You have just entered the second stage, and your strength is not stable. I heard from Lord Kira that entering the second stage is different from before, and the knowledge system and world cognition need to be re-perfected. Before that, you’d better not participate in any research.”

Looking at Byron with a serious face, Thor raised his hands in surrender, “Okay, okay, but let me treat your hands first. How come they are burned after not seeing you for a day?”
