Diary of the Death Wizard

"Can the bronze gate take me through space?"

Sol is a little unbelievable, does he appear on the first floor of the East Tower every time he leaves from the 20th floor?

But the bronze gate on the first floor of the East Tower cannot be pushed open at the same time.

"Maybe it's a one-way passage, or it could be a one-off. I just asked my mentor for help, and maybe he thinks it's best not to mess around in the wizard's tower until I get the puppet."

In any case, this greatly facilitated Saul.

The first thing he did when he returned to the second warehouse was to find the red-eyed puppet and stuff it into his pocket.

Afterwards, Sol walked to the group of corpses in front of the warehouse, first checked the number of candle lamps, lit a few more, and came to Herman's corpse.

The diary opens in the spirit body, a sign Thor allows them to observe the outside world.

"Herman, can you see the corpse in front of me now?"

Herman: 【...Yes, master. That's... my dead body. 】

He spoke with some difficulty, obviously seeing his dead body was not a pleasant experience.

"Sorry, I know you may not be feeling well, but I have something I want to confirm."

Sol told them that when his soul left the body, he would often be pulled into his body by these lifeless corpses, and sometimes he would see what these corpses usually saw.

It seems that what is standing in the warehouse is not a corpse, but a monitor.

"Do you know why?"

The conscious bodies in the diary were quiet for a while, and Agu was the first to answer.

Agu: [Actually, I have heard a saying that the soul depends on the protection of the body, and the body also needs the soul. Therefore, when a creature is dying, its body will radiate huge energy, and various functions will try their best to retain the soul. 】

"So you think our bodies are conscious too?"

Agu: [This is just a statement. At present, there is no experiment to prove that the body alone has consciousness. I analyze that this may be a rule of life operation. 】

Morton: [I don't think so, when I'm dying, I'm not dead after all. Both the soul and the consciousness are still in the body and still in control. So what I agree with is that the struggle on the verge of death is also an instruction from the soul to the body. Just like when some women are pregnant, the order from the soul to the body is to protect the child instead of itself. 】

Agu: [Then how do you explain the dwarf valley effect? 】

Morton: [I haven't been to the Valley of the Dwarves, maybe it's just that the wizards at that time were not strong enough, and they didn't find the mental fluctuations in it, or the remaining fragments of consciousness? 】

Agu: [Can a third-tier wizard be called insufficient? 】

"Wait, wait! Don't argue, who will tell me what the Dwarf Valley effect is?" Seeing that the two most knowledgeable consciousnesses started to quarrel, Sol hurriedly stopped them.

Agu: [There is a third-tier wizard in another continent who wants to capture a group of dwarves. When he came to the valley where the group of dwarves lived, he found that all the magic and spiritual power there had disappeared, turning into a magic-free zone. Creatures with souls will feel extremely repulsive once they enter. If forced to enter, even the phenomenon of soul separation will occur, and the spirit body will be excluded, but their physical body will continue to move forward according to the original will. 】

Agu: [If the body cannot be pulled out with physical force before it is far away, those separated souls will never be able to find their physical bodies again. So it became the realm of all soul creatures, but it is said that someone once saw a still active body standing on the outskirts of Dwarf Valley. 】

"Is there such a place?"

Morton: 【Master, sometimes it's just that we haven't discovered the truth of the matter. It doesn't mean that there must be such irregular things in the world. 】

Agu: [Oh, then you mean that the laws of the world are already known? 】

"Enough!" Saul's face darkened. "I know that the academic world is always full of arguments, but don't forget that I am the one asking the question now!"

The black pages belonging to Agu and Morton fell silent instantly, accompanied by unconscious trembling.

Obviously, the anger of the owner of the diary exerts great pressure on the consciousness fixed in the pages of the book.

Even so big that Saul was a little surprised.

He didn't try to appease the two wounded souls immediately, but summed up the knowledge he had just acquired.

"Now there are two mainstream speculations. One is that the body acts according to the last instructions of the soul. The other is that the body itself will also give birth to consciousness."

Saul looked at Herman who had been transformed in front of him.

"Herman, I'm touching your body now, see if you feel anything."

A gray, shadow-like transparent tentacle drilled out of the palm of Sol's right hand. The tentacle is as thick as an adult's arm, but if necessary, it can also become half a meter thick, but then the length will be shortened.

The tentacles wrapped around Herman's head, and then burrowed in between his eyebrows.

But it was quickly drawn out again.

"My mind is empty."

Thor's tentacles moved a few more places.

The processed body of Herman in front of him... The changes are really big.

In addition to the brain, the spine has also been replaced with other materials, and the shape does not even look like a human spine.

Seeing this H. Hodgepodge Erman, Sol silently withdrew his tentacles.

"How did you feel during this time?"

Herman: 【... I feel a little complicated. 】

Herman's handwriting looked a little sluggish. Obviously, the scene just now had touched him a lot, but he quickly adjusted.

Herman: [I don't feel any difference. Of course, it may also be that my perception is not so sharp. 】

Sol nodded, "Well, it may also be that you have been separated by too many media, and your perception of your body is not so clear."

Saul walked past Herman's body.

It is also possible that Hermann's body was different from those in other morgues.

Sol's soul was not pulled into this body when he came out of his body, and it cannot be ruled out that the new members of this group of corpses do not have the ability to pull the soul into the body.

"That's right. The problem of body and soul is a big problem in the wizarding world. How could I easily find clues?"

But Thor didn't give up immediately, this time he chose a corpse that had possessed a body, and punctured it again.

This time, he let all consciousness bodies including An feel together, whether they can feel a little different.

But this time, the four consciousnesses still got nothing.

During this period, Agu and Morton did not quarrel, and they all worked honestly.

"Oh, by the way, we have a new member." Saul remembered that Nick's body was still "smelling" in the sarcophagus.

"Maybe fresh ones will be different."

Although Saul also felt sad and sorry for Nick's fall, when facing the corpse, he became a rational wizard again.

Nick's sarcophagus sits in the corner of the storeroom, along with boxes stacked next to it—one of which had the honor of being Thor's stomp box.

He walked over and ordered Xiaozao to open the box, while he kept vigilant in case the corpse would change.

But Nick's body was very quiet, without any intention of attacking or fleeing.

He was lying there with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was having a sweet dream.

Saul had hardly ever seen Nick laugh, of course, but that didn't count.

Because Nick is majoring in emotional witchcraft, he is extremely restrained about his own emotional changes, and hides every time he finds emotions that have been suppressed for a long time.

Sol still remembers the painful sound of his laughter, which is not pleasure, but torture.

"There is no abnormality, it can be put into the warehouse..."

Saul finished the inspection and was just about to lift Nick's body out when he saw the diary flipped again.

Agu: [Master, you'd better take a look at the puppet you just put on your body. 】

Sol frowned, and immediately took out the red-eyed doll from his arms.

"When?!" His pupils shrank instantly.

The puppet's eyes had turned black at some point!

But after Sol got the puppet, he didn't even leave the warehouse!
