Diary of the Death Wizard

Chapter 197 The Steward's Request

"The secret of the death wizard's diary is definitely hidden here!"

For a moment, Sol forgot about the pain, and a smile appeared on his face.

He almost brushed shoulders with the secret here.

If he could learn more about the diary, Sol could more quickly turn the diary into his locator.

Perhaps more secrets of the diary can be unlocked, and more usage methods can be deduced.

At this time, there was a strange sense of pressure from behind again, and Sol didn't look back, just staring at the diary.

He stepped forward, followed the lines drawn on the black pages of the diary, and began to release magic power.

When several nodes on the formation were connected together, the gate on the ground suddenly opened a small gap outward.

A gleam of joy flashed across Sol's face, and he quickly squatted down and lifted the entire gate.

He quickly burrowed into the ground, algae protruding from the back of his neck, helping Thor close the door behind him.

As soon as Thor jumped down, he stepped on a soft-textured ladder.

Looking down, it was the girl's arms that made up the steps.

Anyway, he had never seen a man's arms so slender and white, with very small joints.

"The person who uses this as a ladder must be a psychopath?"

Sol has always put practicality first, and if it wasn't for research needs, he wouldn't make these scaring things.

Of course, when other people do this, Sol will not meddle in their own business.

What's more, the person who made this ladder is likely to be dead and rotten.

He jumped down the steps in a few steps and looked around the basement.

It can be confirmed that this basement is definitely the laboratory of Ralph Manor.

It's just that this laboratory... is a bit shabby compared to Sol's laboratory.

It's not that there are few things.

There are all kinds of books and materials all around here.

But on closer inspection, these materials are either very cheap or very common. The books placed here are mainly ordinary books, notes, and handwritten books.

In terms of variety and esoteric level, it is not even comparable to the library that Sol has come into contact with. Not to mention the tower owner's private collection.

But this place is still full, which is the last insistence of the lonely wizard family.

It's safe for now.

Thor breathed a sigh of relief, took out the potion and began to treat his ears.

The wound is not serious, a little witchcraft and potion can solve it.

In this dangerous place, it is still very dangerous to not be able to hear the sound. If you meet Victor again... if you can't, you will be deaf again.

He had just swallowed a bottle of potion when he suddenly saw a figure out of the corner of his eye.

Thor immediately picked up the scroll that was in his pocket, but didn't make a move immediately.

"Master Wizard." A person came out from behind the bookshelf.

Thor recognized him immediately, "You are... the knight Olaf?"

The tall knight, dressed in metal armor, walked silently.

The other party is no longer alive.

Through his body, he could vaguely see the bookshelf behind him.

After Olaf appeared, he stroked his chest and saluted Sol as a knight.

"You still recognize me? Do you remember what happened at the entrance of the castle just now?"

"Yes my lord."

Thor sized it up, "You're just an ordinary person, and your spiritual power has not reached the minimum level of a wizard, but you can stabilize your spirit body after death. Someone helped you, right?"

The knight saluted again, "Yes, my lord. It was an old man in the manor who helped me. It was also he who knew that I had taken refuge here."

"Then you came out because that old man wanted to find me?"

Olaf said: "Yes, respectable lord wizard, but he didn't come to greet you in person, not out of arrogance, but because he really couldn't move. His name is Hunter, and he was the former steward of this manor. Please go to hope Make a deal with you. If you are interested, please come with me."

Can't come out when Saul tries to open the basement door, and Saul is about to make a deal as soon as he comes in.

It's time to choose.

Sol looked around, but didn't find any hidden magic fluctuations here, so he decided to go see the other party.

Seeing Sol nodding, the knight led the way ahead and led Sol into the depths of the basement.

Going to the innermost part of the laboratory, another compartment appeared.

It's just that the door of this compartment was violently damaged, and it was lying on the ground in a miserable state.

When Sol passed by, he found that the gate had been smashed from the inside out.

He took the traces around him into his eyes, and followed Olaf into the cubicle.

The compartment is not big, it looks less than ten square meters. There are no sealed books here, only notes stacked half the height of a person, and papers scattered all over the floor.

As soon as Sol entered, he stepped on a few pieces of paper.

Some papers are full of words, and some are just unconscious lines.

He looked around, and on the open hanging cabinet on the wall, he saw... an old man's head.

The old man had gray hair, thin cheeks, and dark bags under his eyes. He looked old and tired.

"I'm sorry, Master Wizard, I can only see you in this form."

"You don't need to say polite words, who are you? What kind of deal do you want me to do?"

Sol didn't want to talk nonsense with a head. If there were no clues here, he would hurry up and look for the information in the diary.

The old man pursed his lips, and when he spoke again, he spoke much faster.

"I am Hunter, the manager of this manor, and my master is an official first-order wizard, Mr. Ralph. I want to use the greatest wealth of this manor in exchange for you to help my master escape."

"Relief?" Sol frowned, suddenly realizing something, "That human-faced worm outside... is Ralph?"

There was obvious sadness on the face of the butler Hunter, "Yes."

"My master was seriously injured because he offended a very powerful person. We returned to the manor to recuperate secretly. If everything goes well, it will take about five years for the master to recover."

"Who did you offend?" A figure appeared in Sol's mind, and he immediately asked.

"...is the wizard Tata Lord."

Sol's eyes widened, but he sighed in his heart that it was so.

So the Tower Master silently helped him once?

"You don't have to worry about offending that lord. My master has no way out now. We originally wanted to leave here immediately after Lord Ralph regained his ability to move..." Hunter sighed, "But everything is not going well .”

"When we first returned to the manor, in order to prevent people from disturbing us, we deliberately opened some defensive restrictions. To ordinary people, it was haunted. The first year was peaceful, but in the second year, that is, ten months ago, Suddenly a wizard broke into the manor. He grabbed me and said he would give the master a gift."

"That person...is his name Victor?"

The butler wanted to nod, but in the end he just blinked his eyes, "Yes. But my lord, I can only tell you that this is not his real name. And I have been banned from witchcraft, so I cannot reveal his real name."

"After Victor found the master, he told him directly that with the master's current method, even if he can recover in a few years, he will lose his powerful power and can only wait for death. But he can help the master to speed up recovery, And it can get even stronger.”

"Ralph agrees?"

"No, although my master was seriously injured, he was still in good spirits. He knew that there was a hidden danger in this condition as soon as he heard it. He didn't want to agree, but he had to agree. Because Victor played a piece, let the master see the hidden dangers in his body. hidden dangers. If you don’t think about it, you will die in a few years. So the owner has no choice but to take risks.”

"What did Victor do?"

"He gave the master a bottle of potion, and then he kept sending people into the manor to be devoured by the master. At first, the master was very cautious, and the potion was studied repeatedly. But then, he suddenly lost control. When he was left with only consciousness, he hid me here, and then stayed in the study on the fourth floor. Victor continued to give blood to the master. But after that, he didn’t just give away people.”

No wonder Victor said that he never killed anyone, he was just a courier who sent people to the worm's mouth.

But if Ralph devoured other creatures, the cross-species fusion would probably have brought him a lot of trouble, so that he finally became this kind of human and insect-like.

This man-loving manor was actually arranged by Victor!

This guy is probably not as simple as Thor thinks.

"Do you know what strength that Victor is? Can he enter here?"

"No, the master has been meeting him in the study on the fourth floor, and never let him enter here."

Hearing this, Saul breathed a sigh of relief.

But just in case, Thor asked Morton's opinion in the diary.

However, Morton's words once again made Sol's heart rise in his throat.

[No, because I cracked it this time, the magic circle may have lost its original energy. If no one replenishes it, it may completely fail in about an hour. 】
