Chapter 503: Crazy Gorza
The blue sky, clear after the rain.
The sea breeze, with its unique salty smell, filled Maria's nostrils.
She was standing on the Wall of Sighs in the northernmost part of the State continent, looking at the gray-blue sea below her feet and listening to the wizard's robe rustling in the wind.
The Wall of Sighs is a huge wall that is 200 meters high. Looking down from the sky, the endless high wall is at a right angle, tightly wrapping the northern end of the continent behind it.
The bricks, mud, sand and glue used to build this high wall are all rare witchcraft materials. Under the maintenance of the magic array of generations of high-level wizards for hundreds of years, it still stands firm despite experiencing multiple black tides and tsunamis every year.
Maria is a roving wizard on the Wall of Sighs, responsible for regularly checking the condition of the wall in preparation for the annual Kuroshio tsunami.
The Kuroshio tsunami carries its own pollution. Evil spirits and monsters will be generated before and after each tsunami. Even some injured and mentally unstable wizards will be alienated by the pollution.
Therefore, Maria's job is to take turns visiting the wizards stationed in the wizard tower outside the Wall of Sighs to check their status and make sure that no one has been silently alienated, causing them to become a helper of the black tide when it comes.
Today Maria is going to visit a third-level wizard named Gorsa.
Although Maria herself is also a third-level wizard, she does not have a big family like Huiguang behind her, and it is heard that Gorza's strength is also top-notch in Huiguang.
He just has a strange personality. Even though he can teleport over short distances, he is too lazy to even visit the wizard tower next door.
Not only did he choose one of the wizard towers farthest from the Wall of Sighs as soon as he arrived, but he had not been seen leaving the Sea of Sighs in the past few months.
Every time he checked the status of each wizard tower within the high walls, the wizard tower belonging to Gorza showed a white light - there was someone there.
Today is no exception.
"Maria." Another itinerant wizard, Solotte, came over. "Sorry for the long wait."
The other party was a wizard from a big family in the Nephrite continent. Maria would not offend him easily. She smiled and said, "It's okay. I just want to stop and look at the sea."
Solot also turned his head and looked at the sea. "As long as the sea doesn't turn black, I like to watch it, haha."
He looked at the towering wizard towers standing above the sea in the distance, and said as if to encourage himself: "Today we are going to visit the two farthest wizard towers. After today, the subsequent tasks will be much easier."
Although Maria didn't think the distance was proportional to the degree of danger, she nodded anyway.
"Then let's go."
The two flew up together, and a layer of defensive barrier appeared around their bodies. Outside the barrier, there were two ring runes that crossed and slowly rotated around their bodies.
This is a necessary protective measure when leaving the Wall of Sighs. Even if it is not the outbreak period of the black tide, it is possible to encounter residual pollution and monsters in the sea.
The two flew together for several thousand meters before separating to go to different wizard towers.
The Glowing Family, to which Gorza belongs, is biased towards the Iskeper continent, and has had some conflicts with Solot from the Nephrite continent since ancient times.
Therefore, Solot would not easily visit the wizard belonging to the Iskeper lineage.
After separating from Solot, Maria flew more carefully. Even if it would reduce her flying speed, she activated a layer of defensive amulet again.
After a while, she finally arrived at the Seventh Wizard Tower where Gorza was.
Maria slightly adjusted her clothes that were blown by the wind, and then landed on the top of the wizard tower.
"Wizard Gorza, I am Maria, the itinerant wizard of the Wall of Sighs, and I am here for a routine visit today."
Maria used a communication spell to transmit the voice.
"Please wait a moment."
Within two seconds, a voice as gentle as water was heard.
Maria has not met Gorza yet, but she has heard that he is a handsome man.
Even though she has become a third-level wizard, she can't help but have some expectations.
Another minute passed, and the black door on the top of the tower was finally pushed open.
A... skeletal arm poked out from inside.
Then the bones sank into the wide wizard robe, but judging from the shape of the clothes, the arm inside was probably not a normal arm.
The door opened completely, and a face without any skin, so red that it seemed like it would smoke at any moment, appeared in front of Maria.
Maria almost used the unique self-control of a third-level wizard to avoid changing her expression in front of the other party.
"Hello, Wizard Gorsa." Although he had never met the other party, the skinless man in front of him was indeed emitting the magical fluctuations of a third-level wizard.
"Hello."
"Excuse me, but were you attacked?" Maria took out a golden stone. She would use this audio-visual stone to record the visit.
When she returns to the Wall of Sighs, another wizard will check the scene in the Audio-Visual Stone again to make sure that both Maria and the wizard being visited are fine.
"No, I was doing an experiment." Gorza raised his hand and poked the muscles on his face with his own white bones. A streak of bright red flowed down his white fingertips. The red and white contrasted beautifully. "There was a problem. Now we are waiting for the pollution to be eliminated."
"Pollution?" Maria's expression changed immediately. She came to inspect the tower wizards to see if they were polluted. "Can I check your body?"
"No," Gorza said calmly but firmly.
Maria took a breath. She knew that most wizards would not allow others to check their physical condition, especially when the other person was a third-level wizard at the same level as herself.
A third-level wizard is definitely a rare and powerful person in other places, but here in the Wall of Sighs, whether it is a wandering wizard or a tower-based wizard, the minimum requirement is a second-level wizard.
The wizards that the Glorious Family sent here were all level 3 wizards. Only a big family like that would dare to send level 3 wizards to the most dangerous places.
"Then may I ask what caused you to be contaminated? I need to know the cause and ensure that the contamination is under control."
This time Gorza did not refuse, he even invited Maria to enter the wizard tower and check it personally.
Maria glanced at Gorsa warily, but unfortunately she couldn't see any emotion on that skinless face.
However, all wizards who come here will sign a covenant, so I think the other party will not dare to really attack me. Maria suppressed her inner anxiety and followed Gorza into the wizard tower.
The interior of the wizard tower was very dark, with only one oil lamp flickering in the distance.
The two third-level wizards naturally didn't care about this little darkness and arrived at Gorsa's laboratory smoothly.
As soon as she entered the door, Maria saw a bucket of black water on the ground.
Her eyes immediately focused on the bucket of water, and she paid no attention to any other objects.
"Is that... the Black Tide?"
"Yes. I intercepted a portion of the last black tide for research."
Maria couldn't help but look back at the bloody wizard.
Gorza was not the only wizard who intercepted the Black Tide, but he had only been here for a few months, and he dared to attack the Black Tide! "How bold and crazy." Maria thought secretly.
Golsa now raised his hands, displaying the skeleton like a pair of works of art.
"I tried to touch the black tide, and the flesh on my hands started to fester. Although I received treatment in time, the pollution still corroded my skin."
Looking at Gorza who didn't care at all about telling about his injuries, Maria tightened the audio-visual stone in her hand.
"I suggest you apply for rest..."
“No need.”
"But the next Kuroshio could be this month."
Golsa pulled the muscles on his face, revealing a row of white teeth. "It's okay, I'll be fine tomorrow."
Pull the tower master out for a walk
