Death Wizard Diary

Chapter 115 The Wizard’s Burial Ground

Nick arrived at Blacksburg that night.

As soon as he entered the Black Castle, before he could say hello to Mochi Mochi, he was pulled into the small black room by Byron and Thor.

"Nick, is there a written mission statement for the mission you asked Thor to investigate in Mofan Town?" Byron got straight to the point as soon as he came up.

When Nick heard this, he immediately lowered his eyes, raised his hands, and made a clear gesture of surrender.

"No." He said solemnly, "I admit that the secret investigation mission was actually issued to Thor by myself."

"Purpose?" Thor took a step forward.

Nick pursed his lips and said, "Recently, it has become more and more difficult to apply for the Grinding Fruit in the tower. I asked further, and the reason was that the amount of tribute itself was decreasing. I originally took advantage of this time to leave the tower and study at Tutor Rum.

I received a mission to go to Mofan Town and see if I could get some Mosheng Fruits privately. But I didn’t expect something happened on the way and I had to leave, so I asked Sol to find out the reason for the reduced production of Mosheng Fruits.”

He raised his head and looked at Sol, "It was a last-minute decision, I'm sorry. But I will pay you extra. I wonder if Sol, you have found the reason?"

Thor and Byron looked at each other, picked up some facts and said: "The wizard in Mofan Town is refining the wraith and trying to advance. Part of the reduced production of Mosheng Fruit should be used by him to maintain his sanity."

"Part of it?" Nick immediately noticed Sol's wording.

"The people in the town even trade the moseng fruit with the barbarians in exchange for the peace of the town."

Nick's expressionless face showed a trace of doubt, "Barbarian? Why do barbarians grind sound fruits?"

"Do savages use the sound fruit to maintain their sanity?" Thor asked.

"No," Nick shook his head, "Barbarians are keen on going crazy. Even barbarian priests will use their own methods to stay awake."

So why do barbarians need grinding fruit? Or are barbarians just a facade?

Seeing Sol frowning and thinking, Nick lowered his eyes again and said nothing.

Byron suddenly asked from the side: "What made you leave halfway?"

Nick glanced at Byron and didn't hide anything, "My father died, and the family asked me to go back and sign the document giving up the inheritance rights."

This reason is so good and easy to verify that Saul can't tell whether Nick left on purpose.

The room was a little quiet for a while.

Nick looked at the two silent people, spread his hands and said, "I'm not sad, don't worry."

Byron suddenly stood up and said, "In that case, you must transfer the due reward to Thor after returning to the tower."

Nick immediately said: "There is no problem with this, but there is a reward that a first-level apprentice cannot receive. I can exchange it for him..."

"No need, Senior Nick." Thor raised his hand, "When I was fighting with the barbarians in Mofan Town, I had no choice but to be promoted to the second level."

Nick opened his mouth, but everything he wanted to say was stuck in his throat.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly put a hand on his chest and said, "I'm not surprised."

After a pause, he pressed his hand on his chest a little harder and said, "I'm not jealous."

"Then it's settled!" Byron made the final decision, "Let's prepare tonight, and tomorrow we will set off to Drop Hand Valley."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the door. He came back halfway and invited Sol and Nick out of the room.

That night, Saul was lying on a slender bed that was almost impossible to turn over in a room as long and slender as a coffin, thinking about Nick's words today.

Listening to Nick's explanation, this mission may indeed be his impromptu idea.

After all, the reason why he had to leave halfway was quite good.

However, when Saul mentioned that the fields in Mofan Town were destroyed by barbarians, Nick did not show due concern.

This performance is not consistent with Nick's concern for Moshengguo.

Even though Nick is an extremely reserved person, the importance he attaches to the Mo Sheng Guo still changes greatly.

Did Nick want to convey some message to Thor through the Moshengguo incident?

He closed his eyes, and faces flashed through his mind...

Early the next morning, the three of them got up early and said goodbye to the guards of the Black Castle.

They did not take the narrow wizard's tower carriage, but took the Black Castle's local means of transportation - the wooden spider.

When Thor saw the wooden spider, he thought he saw a huge RV with eight legs.

Because the place they are going to this time is the Hanging Hand Valley, a place where many wars between wizards have occurred. It is a place that ordinary people cannot even get close to, so wizards will not bring their servants with them when they go there.

Large witchcraft props like wooden spiders are their most commonly used means of transportation.

Just be careful when driving. If you damage it, it will be very painful to pay for it.

Thor unloaded his complete set of soul research tools from the carriage.

Nick brought a lot of induction chair rope and some metal rings.

Byron brought some strange parts and several special bottles. Those bottles were special soul bottles used to store evil spirits.

For the physical body, the soul bottle is very fragile, but for the spirit body, it is extremely strong.

Ordinary evil spirits and resentful spirits will have difficulty escaping if they are caught in it.

In this mission, Sol and Nick are both here to help Byron catch the evil spirit.

By the way, I'll take the opportunity to do some research of my own.

The three people seemed to have forgotten the little friction last night, and looked like they were working together as a team.

Hanging Hand Valley, the former battlefield of wizards and the burial place of wizards.

The reason why the war was launched in the first place is unknown. We only know that so many wizards died in that war that the wizarding forces in the western region of the Northern Continent were almost wiped out.

There was a time when even a second-level wizard could not be found in the western region.

But this situation did not last long, because many forces in the eastern region of the Northern Continent and the Southern Continent were eyeing this vacuum zone.

After some open and covert fighting, new wizard forces settled in the western region.

Among them is Gortha's Wizard Tower.

Therefore, the wizards in the Wizard Tower have a strong say in the wizarding world in the entire western region.

As long as they didn't seek death, the three of them, who could almost walk sideways, sat in wooden spiders and gradually approached the entrance of the Drooping Hand Valley.

"The Droopy Hand Valley is also the entrance to the barren mountains in the western region. Since the Droopy Hand Valley War, the passage from the western region into the Borderlands has been blocked." Byron sat in the car and pointed to Thor where he was heading.

destination.

"Borderless land?" Thor had heard of this term in his Cognition of All Things class, but only had a sporadic introduction.

"Well, that's a place where even formal wizards have to be extremely careful when going there. I've only heard people mention it occasionally." Nick said from the side.

"It's okay not to go there." Byron ended the discussion about Borderlands.

The wooden spider finally arrived at Chuishou Valley and began to climb downwards.

Thor could no longer imagine what the Drop Hand Valley looked like, but the entrance here was like an extremely steep large slide.

Pieces of gravel were like waterfalls, falling steeply from the plain where Sol and the others were.

The angle of descent is almost 70 degrees, just like the angle of a person who has fallen against the wall, with his arms hanging down weakly.

An ordinary carriage cannot drive on such a road, but a wooden spider with eight legs can climb up and down like a real spider.

Moreover, the wooden spider's carriage will automatically adjust its angle to ensure that the bottom of the carriage is always parallel to the horizontal plane, preventing people in the carriage from rolling around.

As the wood spider crawled downwards, Sol saw a valley sandwiched between two high mountains.

A gust of wind blew over, carrying the smell of blood that had not subsided for many years.

The temperature in the carriage also dropped as the altitude dropped, and Sol unconsciously grabbed his sleeves.

"Don't be nervous," Nick comforted Thor, "The depths of the Handle Valley are where the wizard war will take place. We only catch the evil spirits on the outermost perimeter, so we won't encounter much danger."

Byron was also looking out the window, looking for a suitable place to camp.

Hearing Nick's words, he nodded and said "hmm" in agreement.

Sol secretly glanced at the diary.

As soon as he entered this valley, Sol always felt a numbness all over his body.

It seemed like countless people were staring at him.

"It should be..." Saul pulled off his collar to let himself breathe easier, "Is it an illusion?"
