Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 821

Chapter 809: Afraid of No Way at the End

As a fourth-level wizard and the creator of the Wall of Sighs, the white-haired Murphy stepped forward and knocked on the door of the top floor of the wizard tower.

Apprentice Heywood and his sister Heidi in the wizard tower looked up at the same time.

“Strange, it’s not the time for the touring wizards to visit, why is there someone coming?”

If it was other wizard towers, there might be people visiting, but Gorza’s wizard tower… generally no one comes.

“I’ll go and see.” Heidi, who was like a black shadow, was about to drill through the wall when she heard a low and slightly hoarse voice.

“You stay here.”

It was Gorza’s voice.

Suddenly, Heywood and Heidi all froze in place and responded in a low voice.

Gorza walked slowly on the spiral staircase.

He could obviously appear outside the wizard tower with a teleportation, but he just wanted to walk over slowly.

Even though the person waiting for him outside was the only fourth-level wizard in the Far North.

Gorza walked step by step to the top floor of the wizard tower and stood inside the door for a moment.

The people outside the door already knew he was coming, but they still didn’t say anything, waiting quietly.

It was as if the status of the two had been switched at this moment.

Finally, Gorza opened the door, facing the old man who was respected by many wizards outside, and smiled slightly: “Mr. Murphy, why are you here?”

Murphy didn’t answer immediately, but slowly scanned Gorza’s body from top to bottom and from bottom to top.

The heir of the Glowing Family has the unique handsome appearance of their family. His uncut long hair is messy but still chic, and his skin is so white that it seems to be glowing.

But when Murphy examined Gorza, he didn’t care about his appearance at all.

He even sighed when he met Gorza’s golden eyes again.

“It seems that you are ready.” Murphy’s expression was complicated and compassionate, “Have you thought about what would happen if you fail?”

Gorza tilted his head, as if he heard a question that was so simple that it made him laugh.

“Haha, then die.”

Murphy shook his head, admiring the courage of the young man in front of him, but regretting his recklessness.

“There are many kinds of death. Some deaths are just a moment, and you don’t even feel the pain. It’s just that the world ends for you.”

“But some deaths are very long. You may be begging for an end to it all in the endless night, but you are powerless.”

Murphy’s voice was full of sighs, as if he was experiencing it all.

Gorza shook his head slowly, “I’m not afraid of death, nor am I afraid of life.”

“Then what are you afraid of?” Murphy was not angry because of Gorza’s several rebuttals. Instead, he was in the mood to joke, “Tell me, let me use it to scare you.”

Gorza blinked his curved eyes.

“I’m afraid there will be no way out at the end, I’m afraid I’ll lose the courage to move forward.”

Murphy’s lips trembled suddenly, and his smile became a little forced, “You…really, you’ve blocked both directions for me.”

He sighed, “You’re braver than me. Then I won’t persuade you. But how long will it take you to take the last step?”

Gorza raised his hand and tapped his chin, “I’m waiting for an opportunity, I think it should be soon.”

Murphy smiled and asked, “The next time the black tide breaks out, can you still help?”

Gorza only gave a vague idea, “Probably.”

After the conversation, Murphy left alone.

During the time they talked through the door, Murphy didn’t ask to go in, and Gorza didn’t invite anyone in.

It was a tacit understanding.

It was as if they were not from the same world.

…

After escaping from Keli’s laboratory, Thor saw Hope waiting for him in the corridor again.

He saw that there was still time. Thor, the incompetent tower master, finally had time to listen to Hope’s report on the situation of the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower and Rhine City.

Although Hope’s previous master Gorza was not very competent, he at least stayed in the wizard tower all year round, and Hope could find someone if he had any urgent matters.

Thor simply disappeared, and only came back for a few days each time, as if the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower was a place to rest like a hotel.

Hope saw that Thor had something else to deal with urgently, so he reported the situation in a fast and clear voice.

“…The current Rhine City Lord is Luke, who was once one of your patients. I observed him for a while and found that he was very loyal to you and had a flexible mind, so I let him take charge of the affairs of Rhine City temporarily. If you have other candidates, you can replace him at any time.”

“No, let’s choose him, and we’ll talk about it when there is a problem.” Thor waved his pen and agreed directly.

Luke was extremely loyal to him, and even the line of fate had appeared beside Thor.

Hope nodded and said yes, and then talked about the Wizard Tower.

“… I have recruited some more wizards, mainly first-level wizards, to cooperate with the various experimental topics of the current Pure Spirit Wizard Tower.”

Now the Wizard Tower is not like when Gorza was there, where mentors taught a large number of apprentices.

It is more like a combination of the Knowledge Institute and the Practice Institute in Sky City. One or several formal wizards will lead senior apprentices to conduct research based on an experimental research topic. They are not responsible for training new apprentices.

Anyway, there are no weak formal wizards surviving in the Borderlands, and wizard apprentices are even more tenacious.

Thor still nodded, “Just ask Byron and Keli.”

Thor is now a third-level wizard, and the method of promotion to the fourth level is unique. No one can participate in his experiment.

After reporting everything, Hope saluted respectfully and then immediately withdrew.

Thor went down the stairs and came to the second underground floor, where the algae were sealed.

As soon as he opened the door to the second underground floor, Thor saw a dark shadow rushing towards his face.

Thor was quick to grab it.

“Woo woo woo woo woo…”

Thor skillfully pinched the upper and lower jaws of Xiaozao’s shark-like mouth, and he didn’t dare to struggle hard, so he could only pretend to be pitiful.

Thor smiled with relief, “Xiaozao, you’re awake! How do you feel? Is the Black Sea Tree Source useful?”

When Thor let go, Xiaozao came forward again and wrapped around Thor’s shoulders twice like a scarf.

“Hmm~”

“Why does it look a little aggrieved?” Thor thought to himself and continued to walk down, and then he saw the trunk connected to Xiaozao’s tentacles…

“Uh…”

Xiaozao’s original thick trunk disappeared, and it became densely packed, slender, curved, and entangled slender branches.

It looked more like a seaweed ball than it used to be.

And it was not big, Thor could hold it with both hands. It was trembling with a slight movement.

Thor poked it with his finger, and the tangled seaweed ball moved twice, then shrank even smaller.

Thor observed it carefully for a while, then frowned and looked up at the only small tentacle still sticking out.

“Xiaozao, tell me the truth, have you… tangled yourself into a knot that you can’t untie?”

“Oh, oh, oh, oh…”

I haven’t seen Gorza for a long time, let’s take it out for a walk
