Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 911

Chapter 898: Report

While Thor was busy recruiting people everywhere, Gorza, who had left the Principality of Kerma for several years, finally set foot on this familiar land again.

After receiving the letter from Yula before the Sigh, he decided to come back, but on the way back, Gorza did not use witchcraft to hurry up, nor did he take a convenient and fast airship. Instead, he walked back slowly from the Far North alone, leaning on a wooden stick that reached his chest.

The tall Wall of Sighs blocked the cold current from the north. The Principality of Kerma had just entered spring, and the temperature began to rise sharply.

And Gorza, who was covered in a large gray cloak, looked very abrupt.

From time to time, pedestrians on the roadside cast exploratory eyes, but they would not come up to ask anything, and no one even talked about it.

People with strange behavior may have eccentric personalities, but they may also be wizards.

Ordinary people don’t want to have any intersection with wizards unless it is necessary.

Gorza just walked on the road alone, and it was more like a picnic than a journey.

He was not in a hurry, and there were many people who were anxious for him.

On the second day after Gorza entered the territory of Kma, a group of soldiers came to greet him on the road.

The leader was a first-level official wizard, and behind him was a gorgeous carriage pulled by four horses.

“Lord Gorza, Grand Duke Kira sent us to pick you up.”

Gorza glanced at the wizard who greeted him and smiled, “Kira will not send a carriage to pick me up. Don’t you know that I am good at traveling?”

The wizard who greeted him hurriedly said attentively, “Lord Kira knows that you are in a bad… bad mood now, and it will be more comfortable to ride in our carriage.”

People who fail to be promoted will have a period of weakness, and some people will even directly enter a state of serious injury and on the verge of alienation. This period of weakness may last for several months, and some people may last for several years.

In the eyes of the wizard, although Gorza did not look abnormal on the surface, his body must have been injured. So when he said that the other party was in a bad mood, he was still taking care of Gorza’s dignity.

“No need,” Gorza waved his hand casually, and continued to walk forward with his wooden stick, “You are not as fast as me.”

The wizard on the opposite side twitched his mouth, thinking: “If you didn’t have witchcraft, you had to use your feet to hurry. It took two months to just reach the border of Kema. Would we go through so much trouble to pick someone up?”

But this must not be said openly. The wizard remembered what someone told him before he set out, so he straightened his chest and said: “Lord Gorza, Grand Duke Kira asked me to remind you that some things are time-limited.”

Gorza suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on the other person’s face. The latter was immediately frightened and dared not even move.

Gorza’s hand pressed down slightly, and the latter’s knees softened, and he squatted down directly, and finally sat on the ground.

At this time, Gorza had withdrawn his hand and wiped his palm on the cloak, as if he had touched something dirty.

He lowered his eyes, “Tell Youla that I will go, don’t worry. If her news is really time-sensitive, she will come to me in person without waiting for me. So… don’t disturb me while I’m walking.”

The wizard sitting on the ground was shaking all the time.

Before, Gorza had been restraining his magic and mental power. From the outside, he looked no different from an ordinary person. This made him, who had never faced a third-level wizard, a little too proud of himself, and he unconsciously began to imitate the expression of his boss who told him this.

But he didn’t dare to let his mission end in failure.

Therefore, although he couldn’t get up from the ground yet, he still asked with a trembling voice: “Gorza, sir, when are you going to the capital?”

Gorza stopped and asked a question with his head half turned.

“Do you know why there is only one wizard in your team?”

The wizard lying on the ground was stunned.

“Because they are afraid of wasting it, huh…”

Gorza chuckled and continued to move forward.

The wizard who was left behind thought blankly for a long time, until the soldiers behind him could no longer see Gorza and came to help him up, he still didn’t understand what “fear of waste” meant.

It was still a soldier who reminded him in a low voice, “Maybe when Grand Duke Kira sent us out, he didn’t think we could go back alive.”

The wizard who was helped up immediately glared at him.

The wizard couldn’t understand. If ordinary soldiers were pushed out as cannon fodder, it would be normal, but he was a formal wizard, and there were not many formal wizards in the entire Principality of Kerma!

How could Grand Duke Kira treat him as cannon fodder? !

Gorza didn’t care about the wizards and soldiers left behind, and continued to move forward.

He just kept walking. When he felt tired, he sat on a big rock on the side of the road to rest. When he felt sleepy, he jumped on a small tree with new green buds and slept peacefully.

Along the way, he ate whatever he wanted. He ate when he wanted to eat, and absorbed the magic power around him to replenish his energy when he didn’t want to eat.

Golsa wandered to a small village outside the city of Kema. As long as he crossed the moat, he would enter the city.

Most of the people in the village were farmers, turning the soil, and there were few people in the village.

Just as Golsa was about to go straight through the village, a small brown branch suddenly emerged from the muddy country road.

It was like a new bud sprouting in response to spring, but the growth rate was a little frightening.

The branch, which was not as thick as a human finger, grew to the thickness of a forearm and one meter high in a few breaths, and then continued to fork and extend, turning into a small tree.

However, this small tree was bare and had no spores, and it seemed that it had no intention of sprouting and growing leaves.

Golsa paused, then took a step forward, stretched out his hand and “clicked” to break off a branch, and held it up to his eyes for a closer look.

“Well, the inverted tree. So… this is the root.”

Golsa put down the root, and then found that the bare tree in front of him was withering and disappearing at a faster speed.

Gorza certainly knew that the Inverted Tree was the treasure of Baidong College. Now that Baidong College has been destroyed, the remaining staff have basically gone their separate ways. The Inverted Tree is now closed in the old site of Baidong College.

“Could it be that the Inverted Tree woke up and started running around?”

You know, Baidong College is not close to here.

“If it is really that tree that ran here by itself, then it should have recovered to the third level.” Gorza’s mouth curled up slightly, and the expression on his face finally changed slightly. He stared at the small hole left on the ground due to the withering of the tree roots, and his eyes gradually lit up. “Finally, I saw something interesting!”

Gorza did not consider the possibility that it was another Inverted Tree. The probability was even lower than the probability that the Inverted Tree would run away by itself.

Now, he has forgotten the invitation from Kira, or rather, Yula, and is determined to see this Inverted Tree that can recover to the third level without a breeder.

“It must have some interesting secrets.” Just as Gorza was about to reach into the hole in the ground, a piece of parchment cut to the size of a thumb suddenly jumped out of the hole.

Gorza immediately changed his exploration to grabbing, and then he could see the words on the parchment clearly.

“Kira is imprisoned by Yura.”
