Chapter 921 Murphy's Proposal
In addition to those who died in the war against the Black Tide, most of the fourth-level wizards in the wizarding world disappeared in the long river of history because their ascending channels were blocked.
The speed of promotion to the fourth level could not keep up with the speed at which the desperate ones disappeared, so naturally, there were only a few fourth-level wizards left in the wizarding world.
Now, except for Gorza, other fourth-level wizards are over a hundred years old, and some, such as Murphy, are even several hundred years old.
The fall of the strongest fighting force is a negative topic. Murphy was unwilling to talk about such things before the black tide hit, so he changed his style.
"How about this Wall of Sighs? It's pretty good, right?"
Thor nodded and praised sincerely, "It's spectacular."
"Haha, most of the wizards fighting here are free wizards with no power. However, high-level combat power still depends on the support of other major forces. Most of the third-level wizards come from the Iskeper Continent and the Glowing Family."
Murphy took Thor to see the other side of the Storm Sea. In the distance, they could vaguely see several tall and slender wizard towers.
Each wizard tower is like a lighthouse on the sea, but in terms of functionality, they are more like turrets extending from the Wall of Sighs.
"The garrisons of those wizard towers you saw are at least second-level wizards. There are also several wizard towers at the farthest point, invisible to the naked eye. They all require third-level wizards to be stationed there. Your mentor, Gorza, is in the wizard tower in the front. With him around, many black tide monsters were destroyed before they could get close to the black tide during the previous attacks. To be honest... I really don't want to let him go."
Murphy was a little absent-minded, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Although we need to fight the black tide monsters here, we can also obtain a lot of rare resources that cannot be obtained anywhere else. Thor, do you think of borrowing people from the Borderlands to garrison here?"
"I didn't force the wizards of Rhine City to do anything. I can tell them about this, but I can't be sure what choice they will make in the end."
"That's okay. You can tell them that they don't need to hand in the resources they get outside the Wall of Sighs. They can just keep them for themselves."
"Wall of Sighs doesn't take any commission?" Thor didn't expect that either.
"The wall is just a wall. Everyone helps each other in battle. No one has to hand over profits to anyone else. We will also provide resources to wizards who stay here for a long time. The longer they stay, the more we will give them."
Murphy turned into a salesman, constantly introducing the benefits of working here.
Thor suppressed his laughter and nodded, "Okay, I think there will still be a lot of people who want to come this way."
Murphy patted Thor's shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry about them not coming back after they come out. After all, everyone knows that you are the Black Tide Doctor, and their lives are in your hands. Haha..."
Seeing that Thor agreed to his proposal, Murphy had completed the purpose of chatting with Thor today. He asked Thor: "Do you want to continue shopping? Or go back and rest?"
Now that Thor has come out, he doesn't plan to go back like this.
"I want to go straight to the instructor."
"Oh?" Keli tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Then I'll stay here."
Kelly still has a shadow over her mentor Gorza. Although she came with Thor this time, it was also to cooperate with him in the battle. When she heard that Thor was going to find Gorza, she immediately backed down.
"Haha, I understand. Even many of our third-level itinerant wizards don't dare to go to Gorza. He has a weird temper."
Murphy was not surprised that Keli was afraid of Gorza. Tell Keli where she can go, where she will be stopped by patrolling wizards, and how to leave the Wall of Sighs.
Then he took Thor to find Gorsa himself.
This time, Murphy did not teleport with Thor. When the black tide was approaching, even he himself would avoid using teleportation.
The atmosphere outside the Wall of Sighs was obviously different from that of Far North City. No one could be seen around, but there were still magical fluctuations coming from different locations.
The sound of the sea filled the sky and the earth. The clouds overhead were very thick, rolling and moving rapidly in the air with the help of the wind. The dark tones gave off a sense of urgency as if a great war was about to break out.
Murphy's voice echoed in the sea breeze, "Thor, would you consider staying at the Wall of Sighs for a while?"
Saul didn't answer right away.
Murphy turned around, and unlike his previous sales pitch, his expression was more serious now. "You are very strong now, and you will hardly fail against the eye of the storm. In fact, you no longer need to stay in the no-man's land all year round like the third-level wizards before. If you want to go further, I still suggest that you stay in the Storm Sea for a while, fight the black tide monsters here in person, and experience the world under the changing rules. You may be able to rely on these to find the way to the future."
"Stay in the Storm Sea?" Thor thought about it.
He came here to visit Master Gorza and to discuss the fourth target of the Symphony of Destiny. If he stayed in the Storm Sea, it would mean that he would have to spend the Black Tide in the Wizard Tower outside the Wall of Sighs. This way, he would not be able to find a suitable target in the Far North.
But what Murphy said made sense, and Thor was moved.
Thor gained a lot from participating in the Black Tide defense battle in Eternal Night, so it might be possible for him to do it again at the Wall of Sighs.
As for the fourth goal... we can talk about it after meeting Mentor Gorza.
"Okay, then I will fight together with the Wall of Sighs and the wizards here."
Murphy smiled with relief, but he said something strange.
"Very good, I will find someone to cooperate with you. However, you should leave as soon as possible after this black tide passes."
Thor was a little confused. Why did Wizard Murphy suddenly say something to drive people away? Even if the black tide receded, he could stay for a while, right? Being watched by Thor, Murphy just looked straight ahead, "After this black tide, the Stargate Council and Norton may come to you."
This sentence seemed to be an excuse for the sudden expulsion. Otherwise, wouldn't he be able to receive news from Norton Wizard and his gang at the Wall of Sighs?
Although he was confused, Thor just nodded in agreement and did not ask any further questions.
Wizard Murphy may have other secrets that he hasn't told you.
"Master Murphy!" Suddenly a figure approached rapidly and called out to Wizard Murphy loudly.
The two stopped immediately and saw a witch coming from the Wall of Sighs.
"Oh, it's Maria!" Murphy asked, "What's wrong?"
The witch named Maria glanced at Thor, then quickly said, "Master Murphy, Wizard Lisal has returned from the Iskeper continent and is looking for you."
"Oh?" Murphy frowned, obviously attaching great importance to the wizard named Lisal. He said to Thor apologetically, "Thor, I have something to do here, so I can't take you there. But Maria is the itinerant wizard here. She has worked in the Wall of Sighs for decades and is very familiar with this place. Let her take you to find Gorza."
"Of course, no problem." Thor said quickly, "Master Murphy, go ahead and do your work."
Murphy nodded apologetically again, then turned and flew away, obviously faster than when he came.
Maria was relieved to see Murphy go back, then she looked at Thor and said with a smile: "Wizard Thor, I will take you to see Lord Gorza."
Thor was about to agree when he suddenly felt something emerging from the sea beneath his feet.
Maria was a little slower, but also quickly lowered her head.
Immediately afterwards, the two saw a half-rotten giant monster that looked like a goat rising from under the sea, causing huge waves.
Looking at the rotten goat rushing towards the two of them, Thor was not nervous, but a little surprised. "Black Tide Monster? The black tide hasn't come yet, how could there be a black tide monster in the sea?"
