Chapter 769 Falling into the Sea
After hearing Nathan's desperate attempt, Thor once again looked at him differently.
According to Thor's plan, Nathan must understand Thor's purpose, get closer to Thor, and then slowly reveal his predicament to Thor.
But Nathan only hesitated for two weeks, or even less, before deciding to tell Thor everything.
Quite courageous, but of course it could also be that the water god was pushing too hard.
But anyway, he saved Thor a lot of time.
"In that case, let's go directly to meet the water god."
Nathan was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that Thor decided to meet the water god immediately.
If even a third-level wizard is no match for the Water God...
Nathan only thought about this question vaguely, and then quickly shook his head to stop thinking about it.
Since it's a gamble, once you buy it, you can't let it go.
Nathan quickly led the way for Thor, and asked carefully as they walked, "Teacher Thor, then, can I call you mentor now?"
This is asking myself whether I agree to take him as my apprentice.
Thor thought seriously for a moment and said, "You can call me mentor, but only during the time I am in Sky City."
Nathan was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Thor to set a condition. But he was not in a position to bargain now.
He was stunned for only a moment, then nodded quickly, "Okay, mentor."
I was afraid that Thor would regret it again.
There is no saying that residents of Sky City cannot go out at night. However, the security at night is indeed not as good as that during the day. If you go out at night, you will be responsible for your own safety.
Nathan would always be careful when going out at night and would not leave the area where wizard apprentices were active.
But today is different.
He walked ahead of Thor, not even looking where he was going.
Instead, Thor was always paying attention to his surroundings.
He wanted to rule out the possibility that someone else had interfered with Nathan's visit this time.
Thor walked all the way to Nathan's dormitory building and did not find any signs of other people peeping.
Nathan's dormitory was very ordinary; he even shared the same building with another apprentice.
"Aren't you afraid that your roommate will find out your secret?"
"My roommate often sleeps in the lecture hall." Nathan laughed bitterly, "And even if he finds out, he will just think that I bought a counterfeit. If he really gets suspicious, he will be the only one who will be in trouble."
"What do you mean?"
"The last one stole my things and took it away. Then he drowned while drinking beef soup."
As they were talking, the two came to Nathan's dormitory on the second floor.
The apprentices’ dormitory is actually equivalent to their private laboratory, but they are responsible for the safety of their own room.
When Nathan opened the magic circle on the door, Thor discovered that the main purpose of this magic circle was to "guard against gentlemen, not villains."
Of course, as Nathan said, if a villain comes in, he will probably become a dead villain.
Nathan's room was simple. As soon as you entered the door, you could see parchment covering the walls and an extra-long table surrounding three walls.
There were a lot of things on the table, but Thor still saw a white porcelain cat under the windowsill at first glance.
The eyes of the white porcelain cat were also red, but compared to the red of the imitation, the eyes of the kitten in front of him were more translucent, as if they were inlaid with crystal.
Nathan followed Thor in, immediately closed the door and activated the soundproofing array.
He pointed at the white porcelain cat that Thor was looking at and whispered, "It's right there. But don't touch it when you pass by. Anyone who touches it except me will be cursed immediately."
Thor nodded. Facing the "Water God" who could kill a third-level wizard, he naturally would not be too reckless.
Just as Thor took a step forward, he suddenly heard Nathan shouting from behind, "Teacher, be careful!"
Thor had been paying attention to the diary's reaction.
Could Nathan's surrender be mixed with other intentions? Is there a trap behind the confession?
But there were no unusual lines in the diary until Nathan reminded him.
So Thor, who had no one to guard against for the time being, not only paid attention to the white porcelain cat in front of him, but also kept an eye on Nathan behind him.
However, the next second, his feet were empty and he fell down.
Along with the fall, there was a sudden "gurgling" sound of bubbling in my ears.
In the blink of an eye, Thor came from Nathan's bedroom to the pitch-black waters where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
Thor opened his mouth, and water immediately poured into his throat. It tasted salty, fishy, and bitter. It was sea water! The sea water seemed to have its own consciousness and tried to invade his mouth, penetrate his organs, and seep into every alveolus.
For a moment, he forgot his identity and subconsciously moved his hands and feet in panic like a normal drowning person.
But the freezing cold sea water did not provide him with any buoyancy at all, and seemed to want only to make him sink in the darkness.
The more Thor struggled, the deeper he sank in the dark sea.
In a place he couldn't see, at the deepest bottom of the sea, there was a white kitten, staring with red eyes at the people above.
Seeing that Thor was sinking a little slowly, the kitten swung its tail behind it.
A whirlpool immediately formed in the sea water, pulling Thor down faster.
Watching Thor in the water gradually stop struggling, the little white cat frowned and swung its tail again.
The vortex grew larger.
Thor sank another three or four meters almost in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the distance between the two was less than a hundred meters.
It was at this moment that a voice suddenly appeared in the little white cat's ears.
"Strange, you don't seem to want to drown everyone who prays to you for good luck, as the outside world has said?"
The little white cat was stunned for a moment, then immediately changed from its original squatting position to standing, looking up at the person falling rapidly above its head.
Thor, who was disguised as a corpse, twisted his waist and turned from back to face down, but his eyes were not open yet.
And in such an environment where he couldn't see anything clearly, Thor didn't need to open his eyes.
He spread out his mental power and felt the presence of the little white cat below and its actions just now.
After seeing him making drowning movements, the other party controlled the sea water to make him sink faster.
This move was actually completely unnecessary. But the other party still accelerated twice, obviously it was more anxious to let Thor get in front of it quickly.
But after Thor stopped pretending, the kitten under the sea did not respond.
Thor had clearly sensed the other party's mental power, but the other party did not communicate with him.
But judging from the kitten's appearance, it must have heard what Thor said.
Thor looked at the mental power that was fed back to him, thought for a moment, and did not rush to let his body continue to sink.
Although he did have drowning reactions when he first entered this dark sea, the mental power of a third-level wizard gently swept over him, and his out-of-control mouth and nasal cavity resumed normal function.
At the same time, he also felt a spiritual force coming up from the bottom of the sea.
This mental force stirred the sea water, surrounded Thor, and carried him down, but did not attack or restrain Thor throughout the process.
Thor suddenly realized that it was only the sea water that attacked him and wanted to drown him, not the source of the spiritual power below.
Feeling the underwater spirit getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but have a new idea.
"Perhaps the power that grants people luck and the curse that causes people to drown do not come from the same source?"
