Chapter 2: Diary of a Dead Wizard

The sun is shining.

It's spring again.

It's been half a year since Thor was promoted to the third rank.

In the past six months, there has been a real turmoil in the Borderlands.

The sudden alienation and death of the firefly lord Herbert, the disappearance of the wind demon Pei'er for no reason, and the impact of the death of the dreammaker Clark have not been completely subdued, and the forces in most of the settlements have started a battle for resources.

Only the vicinity of Lake Rhine is relatively calm.

Because this is the only third-order wizard in the Borderlands at the moment.

In the beginning, only a few small forces in the vicinity came to join Thul. While others are mostly on the sidelines.

Borderlands have always been governed by three third-order wizards of different factions.

So many people want to see the reaction of the Inquisitioning Chamber and the Stargate Council.

However, to everyone's surprise, half a year had passed in the blink of an eye, and neither the Inquisition Court nor the Stargate Council had sent other third-order wizards to the Borderlands.

Nor did it help a senior second-order wizard to advance to the third order.

After waiting for news here for half a year, Ke Rui finally understood that at present, the Stargate Council would not nominate other third-order wizards.

And the reason, she has more or less thought of it.

A third-order wizard who had just been promoted and independently completed the sealing of the eye of the storm.

A Pure Soul Wizard Tata Master who killed Herbert in just one day and made Pell completely disappear (outsiders guessed so).

Neither the Inquisition Court nor the Stargate Council would treat him as an ordinary third-order wizard.

They need time to think and wait and see.

Curry couldn't wait for her chance and had to leave the Borderlands.

And Curry's departure was like a signal, and in the days that followed, a large number of forces began to surrender to Thor.

But no matter what size of forces came to Saul, he didn't change his style.

He left all the stuff to the wizards who had taken refuge in the beginning, and then the old fritter butler Hope was in charge of these wizards.

And he himself, after intervening to stabilize the situation in the vicinity, rushed headlong into the laboratory.

In the past six months, in addition to stabilizing his magic and spiritual power, he has mainly studied the diary of the Death Wizard that has changed.

This diary once issued death warnings again and again when he was weak, helping Thor avoid risks and revise the direction of his research.

But as Thor grew stronger and stronger, and the enemy's level grew, the ordinary pages of the diary rarely warned him.

Most of the crises Thor can avoid by relying on his own abilities, and the part that he can't avoid often requires the Golden Pages to rehearse and simulate, to find the glimmer of light hidden in the dark future.

But whether it is an ordinary white page, a black page, or the rarest of all, only two golden pages remain, it is an extremely passive force.

Previously, Thor had only slightly control over the black pages that stored the consciousness.

But he had no idea how the power of the diary worked.

Therefore, although the Death Wizard's Diary has saved him a lot of time for study and research after becoming Thor's locator, Thor will not be able to further control his locator if he has not been able to understand the operation pattern of the diary's power.

This is definitely a big hidden danger in the future.

In order to grasp the power he has as soon as possible, Thor has been studying the diary after stabilizing his strength.

And the day after his birthday, Thor finally found a chance to unravel the mystery of the diary.

At this time, Thor stood on the top floor of the Pure Soul Wizard Tower, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see the Rhine City under construction outside the mushroom forest.

Because Thor is quiet, the Rhine city on the opposite side is also a long way from the Wizard's Tower.

Thor raised his hand, and the Death Wizard Diary in his hand floated into the air, level with his gaze.

He tried to empty his brain as much as possible, so that everything in his eyes was illusory except for the diary, which was unfocused.

Subsequently, Thor's mental power spread to the surface of the diary, and constantly adjusted the frequency of fluctuations, and finally reached a strange harmony with the diary.

And the diary, which was once out of reach, also quickly gave feedback to Saul.

After a burst of electric stimulation, a white page in Thor's eyes suddenly lost its color, from a three-dimensional white page to a sketch-like line structure.

And on the page, straight lines appear criss-crossed. These branches are deep and shallow, and they seem to be simple two-dimensional patterns, but they give people the illusion of being thick and three-dimensional.

Thor's mental strength tugged at the page, continuing to adjust the angle and amplitude.

The lines on the diary seem to leap out of the paper, and suddenly change from two to three.

Only then did Saul discover that the lines that seemed to be on the same plane were actually a projection of an extremely complex three-dimensional pattern.

The three-dimensional figures on the pages of the book do not have any regularity, they are not round or square, and they seem to be sharp and dull.

The seemingly short lines actually have a faint extension, which can spread from Thor's front to the sky.

"The lines are kind of like the lines of fate, but they're not quite the same. The line of fate is a curved, ever-changing thread. The lines on the pages are all straight lines. ”

Thinking of the projection of this three-dimensional figure that had just landed on the white page, Thor couldn't help but have a new guess.

"Could it be that these lines are actually projections of things on the diary?"

"Certain established things are straight lines, and their movements and angles are captured by the diary, and then evolved into words that I can read."

"Could this be the real reason why the Death Wizard Diary is able to give a death warning?"

Thor reached out and gently fiddled with the three-dimensional figure above the journal.

His fingers pierced through the figure, causing no effect.

It's like a diary, just a projection on his retina or consciousness.

But when Thor swept the pages with his mental power, he could clearly feel the figure above the diary.

"At the moment I can only see how the early warning is formed. If we can unravel the principle of line composition and exert the same force on it, is it possible to change the lines of other things in turn? ”

That is...... Change the fate of other people and things? ”

Thor thought of it as he became distracted until the sun in the sky slipped overhead and fell from the top of the mountain.

He rubbed his throbbing temples, "It's still too complicated." Although a third-order wizard can dispatch the power of the outside world, it is still a quantitative change, and it has not reached the level of qualitative change. I still have a long way to go before I can use the power of diary warnings to influence other people and things. ”

Thor is detached from a state of high mental concentration.

The diary also disappeared from the palm of his hand.

Rather than studying the power of changing the diary, there is a more serious problem before Thor now.

"After taking control of the diary, I realized that the movement of the white pages requires a constant consumption of energy. That should be the energy that Kismet has been getting from stirring up trouble and changing the fate of everyone. ”

"Let's call it Death Energy for now. After all, a person's death is to change his fate to the greatest extent. ”

"There is no Kismet to replenish the Diary with Death Energy right now, and the Diary will only consume Death Energy faster and faster depending on the level of power I'm at right now. I'm afraid that the remaining energy simply won't last many years. ”

The Death Wizard Diary was already Thor's locator, one of the cores of his power, and it was impossible for Thor to watch its energy run out.

"What's next? Am I going to be like Kismet and kill people everywhere to replenish my diary? ”
