Chapter 341 Contact
Thor lowered his head, "What's your name?"
"Banbu," the boy's courage ran out and his voice began to fade away, "My name is Banbu, sir."
"Banbu, becoming a wizard's apprentice is not necessarily a good thing. Half of the people who entered the wizard tower at the same time as me are no longer in this world. The remaining half have also been missing for a long time."
Brindle's mouth dropped open.
He was obviously unable to touch the cruelty and brutality beneath the wizard's majesty and nobility.
The wind rushed into his mouth and Banbu choked.
"Go back." Thor said again.
Banbu's eyes turned red, and he felt that his reaction just now had disappointed the adults.
But he no longer had the courage to ask the wizard in front of him again.
Even though he saved himself, even though his tone was gentle, even though he allowed himself to stand up and speak... he was a wizard after all.
The boy left disappointed, and Thor returned to the beach, staring at the increasingly blurred skyline caused by cumulus clouds and strong winds.
The sea is rising.
Especially when the night deepens, the extent of its rise is somewhat alarming.
Thor was originally standing four or five meters away from the sea, but in a flash the waves began to lick the soles of his shoes.
Gray hands quietly emerged in the foam of the waves, hooking their fingers, trying to pull this ungrateful man into the deep sea to drown him.
The next second, a black tentacle extended from each of Thor's palms, and slowly lowered into the sea under the cover of his wide cloak.
When the black tentacles reached into the sea, they floated up and down in the water like dark seaweed.
Then, the pale arms hidden in the white waves suddenly disappeared, leaving only a little white foam, which hit Thor's shoe surface. It couldn't grab the leather engraved with dust-proof witchcraft, and rolled helplessly to the sand on the side.
The wind was still howling, but the rate at which the sea was rising seemed to have slowed down.
Or rather, it became normal.
"I thought you were so kind that you would take that boy in!" A voice with a slightly frivolous smile came from behind.
Thor turned his head slightly and saw that the two wizards who had just hidden in the shadows had now walked behind him.
The black tentacles quickly withdrew from the sea water and quietly retracted into Thor's palm along the cloak.
There are indeed soul fragments in the sea water, and it is the radiation released by these soul fragments that causes many strange situations in this sea.
But compared with Sander and Banbu's experience, it's a little less interesting.
According to their description, there shouldn't be only these few soul fragments here.
Even if there were less than ten evil spirits, it wouldn't necessarily be this terrifying.
There must be at least one evil spirit to match the rumors.
Because Thor hadn't spoken, the woman behind him snorted coldly: "Humph, you are worthy of being an apprentice from the wizard tower. You are so arrogant."
Thor had just mentioned the wizard tower when he was talking to Banbu, and this woman might have overheard their conversation.
The mental fluctuations coming from the other party were only that of a second-level apprentice. She dared to speak to Thor like this, probably because she relied on the tall male apprentice beside her.
Thor turned around slowly. "I saved him, and he answered my questions. This is an equal exchange."
"An ordinary person in exchange for a level 0 sorcery? Your magic power is cheap enough."
"Shut up, Andy." The man opposite finally spoke.
He lowered his head and looked at Thor's gray face. "You are Thor, right?"
Thor narrowed his eyes, "You know me?"
The male wizard apprentice nodded and said, "I heard from Jero that he has a fellow apprentice named Thor who has been accepted by Wizard Gorza. He has always wanted to invite you to do missions together, but you never agreed."
"There's really no time." Thor explained casually.
The male apprentice opposite frowned and then relaxed his brows, "Are you interested in cooperating?"
"My name is Parker, level three, and this is Andy, level two." The tall male apprentice introduced himself briefly, "We are waiting for the Soul Tide here."
Saul noticed that the female apprentice Andy immediately became nervous when Parker mentioned cooperation. She didn't seem to want Saul to join.
"You guys..." Thor carefully felt the magical fluctuations emanating from the two people, "You shouldn't be majoring in dark attributes, right?"
Things like soul tides that are visible and intangible are generally only of interest to apprentices who major in light or dark attributes.
"Indeed it is not. Your mental power is as sharp as Jero said. We waited for the Soul Tide to appear because we wanted to track a ship inside."
"Ghost ship?"
Could it be a treasure hunt in a shipwreck on the seabed?
Andy on the side lowered his eyes, obviously unhappy.
"Almost. But there is no precious treasure, just a few evil spirits. If there were good things, this place would have been surrounded by major wizard forces long ago."
The sea water had already reached the ankles of the three people.
Thor noticed from the corner of his eye that Andy's shadow on the water looked a little strange.
Her body was normal, but her reflection in the water looked like a blurry oil stain.
Moreover, the oil stains were floating little by little with the ups and downs of the sea water, gradually spreading towards Thor.
"Never mind, I won't be here long."
Parker raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't tell Thor what there was to investigate on the ghost ship, any normal person would ask out of curiosity to see if it was worth taking action.
Unexpectedly, Thor gave up after thinking for a moment.
"As expected of a second-level wizard's apprentice, it seems that you don't care about these petty gains."
Parker's face was no longer as good as before after being rejected by Thor straightforwardly.
Although Thor was not afraid of the other party, there was no need for him to make an enemy and wait for the other party to trip him up.
“I didn’t take that many days off.”
He did not come here with the ambition to crack the secret of the soul tide this time, but just planned to take advantage of the tide to reap some profits.
According to the experience of the snail-picking boy Banbu, the soul tide here usually occurs once or twice a month.
It hasn't appeared this month yet. It's already the end of the month, so it should appear in the next two days.
This way, Thor should be able to return before the end of the month.
But if he agreed to cooperate with Parker to hunt for some ghost ship, he wouldn't know if his return would be delayed.
Besides, Thor is now in the second warehouse. As long as he doesn't take out the materials, he can use them at will. Is there any ghost ship that can't compare to Gorza's material warehouse? The most important point is that Thor doesn't want to take risks with someone he just met for the first time. Even if the other party is under the name of Jero.
Andy laughed when he heard that Saul was not cooperating.
She turned her head and stood on tiptoe, as if she wanted to whisper something to Papak, but she did not lower her voice.
"I've heard that the more talented and capable the apprentices are in the wizard tower, the less freedom they have. I didn't expect it to be true."
As Andy spoke, her greasy shadow floating on the water slowly spread to Thor's feet.
The next moment, the greasy shadow receded with a wave and touched Thor's calf.
Andy glanced over with a smug look, as if he was casually looking at the subject of the topic after gossiping about other people.
This is her special ability, through the contact of water and oil mixture, she can explore the information of the people she touches.
The fact that she is always kept by the powerful Parker means that she must have other trump cards besides her physical strength.
But when Andy's eyes fell on Thor, his expression changed instantly. The oily black shadow on the sea surface suddenly dissipated and could no longer be connected.
Andy quickly smoothed his hair that was messed up by the sea breeze, and with this action he cut off his sight from Thor.
Then she turned her head away, leaned on Parker's chest like a little bird, withdrew her prying eyes, and never dared to look at Thor again.
