Chapter 698: Causality
Kismet looked at Thor with a complicated expression.
"Okay, my brother master."
The two figures disappeared at the same time, and when they reappeared, they had already arrived at the top of the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower.
"Let's make a deal." Thor raised his hand, and a dark red hardcover book suddenly appeared in his palm.
Diary of a Dead Wizard.
The first official appearance in this world.
Once upon a time, it could only be seen by its owner.
But now, Thor can take it out without restraint, even if it is made public.
Because now he finally clearly feels the existence of the diary.
It is a real power, not an intangible image.
In fact, Thor had already clearly felt the changes in the diary when he successfully sealed the eye of the storm.
No longer a high and mighty, cold prophet.
But it is the power he can truly mobilize.
Although the full power level of the diary is at least at level 4, and he cannot fully mobilize it with his current strength, he is no longer like before when he knew nothing and was confused and could only passively act according to the instructions of the diary.
Now that Herbert is dead, Pearl cannot be saved for the time being, and the pollution crisis of Lake Rhine has been resolved, Thor finally has time to deal with the diary... and Kismet's problem.
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to stay here." Thor opened the diary, and this time he gently flicked the white pages with his fingers.
The pages of the book feel delicate, like a baby's skin.
Thor looked at the words in the diary, which recorded his past adventures and suicidal experiences.
I feel a lot of emotion in my heart.
"If my feeling is correct. When I came out of the eye of the storm, your connection with the diary had been severed. But before the disconnection, the information it conveyed to me told me that you were actually... originally a fourth-level wizard, right?"
"Yes."
Unlike when he faced Ophelia's clone, Kismet looked very honest at this moment.
It's like he's become a different person.
"When I read the diary, I also saw the chains that bound you. So everything you did before was to serve the diary."
Kismet touched his nose and said, "It's not that miserable."
Thor chuckled, not reminding Kismet of how many times he had lamented his miserable fate before.
"Now, the chains that bound you to the diary have been cut off... But you haven't completely gotten rid of the diary yet, right? Otherwise, you should have left the diary as soon as you got out of trouble and completely opened the seal on your body."
"You've just got the diary, and you've already discovered so much information?" Hearing Thor's straightforward words, Kismet let out a sigh of relief, "My lovely brother master, you are really suitable to be the new owner of the diary."
"The deal you want to make with me is to help me get rid of the diary completely, right?" Kismet had already guessed something and asked back.
"That's right." Thor nodded. "I don't know how the original owner of the diary sealed part of your soul in the diary, but I do have a way to help you get that part of your soul back."
Thor stretched out his hand and quickly flipped the diary in his palm until he reached the last page.
After the fourth black page was turned over, the fifth black page suddenly appeared where the bottom cover of the book should have been.
Unlike the previous pages, this page seemed to have been torn in half by someone, leaving only half a page.
But this half page is completely different from the other black pages with rough edges.
It is carefully cut like obsidian, and is crystal clear as a whole, yet has the elasticity of metal.
Thor flicked it lightly with his finger, and it made a clear and pleasant sound like a string.
"The wizard who created the Diary of a Dead Wizard is truly amazing. The consciousnesses he controls are all as powerful as you. But for me, although you are powerful, you are uncontrollable. You are no longer suitable to continue to reside in this diary that completely belongs to me."
Thor gently shook the black pages in his hand, and his eyes watched Kismet sway with the pages.
"Besides, if I continue to use this black page to control you, you will only lose control and it will backfire, right?"
Kismet touched his chin. Since Thor had discovered the truth, he no longer had to think about how to fool Thor.
Maybe sometimes, being more sincere and straightforward can help you get things done more efficiently.
"Well, you already know most of it. So, what do I need in exchange for my freedom?"
After saying that, Kismet sat down directly, resting his elbows on his knees and his chin on the back of his hands.
He was waiting for Thor to make an offer.
"Of course, I'll use something of equivalent value." Thor put away the diary, and it disappeared in his hand as if it had never existed. "If you help me advance to the fourth level, you, a fourth-level wizard, can regain your freedom."
Kismet: “…”
He really wanted to ask Thor how these two things were equivalent.
But judging from Thor's appearance, he probably has no room for bargaining.
If Thor still didn't know that the diary contained part of his soul, then Kismet would still have a chance to play tricks, but now...
"Then let's sign the contract." Kismet smiled again, "Otherwise how can I trust you?"
Seeing the comfortable smile on Kismet's face, Thor did not feel at ease that the deal was done.
Having dealt with Kismet for so many years, he has a certain understanding of Kismet's character.
The other party was smiling like this, but he might have already started to plot something in his mind.
But Thor wanted Kismet to help him continue his promotion.
This mission is difficult and full of dangers. The slightest mistake could lead to death.
He didn't want Kismet to have any ulterior motives or leave any hidden dangers in this matter.
So Thor summoned the Day of the Dead Wizard again.
Kismet raised his head and saw the diary in Thor's hand again. A hint of vigilance flashed in his smiling eyes.
The little master's actions often surprised him, so much so that Kismet would be extremely alert when facing him.
However, when he saw Thor's next move, he was stunned.
Thor actually opened the diary to the last page again... Then, he tore off half of the black page that was as crystal clear as obsidian.
With a light flick of the index and middle fingers holding the page, half of the page flew like a dart straight into Kismet's face.
It was not until the last second, until the half page of the book was almost about to pierce Kismet's forehead, that the latter came to his senses and grabbed the page that Thor was flying towards him.
This time, Kismet was really confused and stunned by Thor's actions.
Even when he had grasped half of the black page that sealed his soul, he could not believe what was happening before his eyes.
“You…why…”
The things that he had longed for for hundreds of years, the soul that he thought he would have to plan for decades, suddenly returned to his hands so easily.
Unlike the ecstasy he felt when the chains broke just now, at this moment Kismet only felt... empty.
It seems as if everything is just a dream, and I will wake up in the blink of an eye.
"No reason." Thor said calmly, "I have completed my part of the deal. Now, it's your turn to slowly fulfill your promise."
"I haven't agreed yet."
Kismet pouted, and his tense back slumped.
Although he didn't agree, his hand was tightly holding his half of the black page.
Thor is not as relaxed as he seems.
What he just threw out was probably worth half a no man's land.
He looked at Kismet and slowly narrowed his eyes.
In his eyes, he himself turned into a complex and tangled ball of light again, and a translucent light suddenly appeared on Kismet's body opposite him. It hesitated but had no choice but to extend in front of Thor and connected with one of the ends of Thor's light ball.
The second application of the fate line: Theory of cause and effect - achieved! (End of this chapter)
