Chapter 926 Guarding a Tower
Maria looked at Thor.
She was naturally happy that someone was stationed here immediately. This was one of the outermost wizard towers, responsible for intercepting the most powerful black tide monsters, so dispatching third-level wizards to garrison here was actually a very difficult task.
But she was also a little worried. After all, the task here was heavy and more dangerous. However, thinking about how Thor had easily dealt with the big-headed monster fish before, Maria felt that Thor's strength should be no problem.
I'm just afraid that he doesn't understand the situation here. After all, he's not a wizard from the Wall of Sighs. Would he be willing to take on the most dangerous and troublesome work when the Black Tide strikes?
Thinking of Thor's identity, Maria told him all the problems and let him make his own decision.
Unexpectedly, Thor didn't hesitate after hearing this. "No problem. But I'm only here temporarily. Once the black tide passes, I'll go back to No Man's Land. You still need to get a third-level wizard."
Maria breathed a sigh of relief. "No problem. It's just that time is too tight now. I'm afraid I can't arrange it in time. It's great that you are willing to help."
The other three wizards also looked surprised.
It will naturally make things much easier for them if someone is willing to take on the most difficult tasks on their own initiative.
Maria thought for a moment, then pulled Thor aside and deliberately used secret language to say to him, "Thor, there is something I need to remind you of in advance. This time the black tide is coming, and this should be the front line of the defense. Your mentor, Lord Gorza, he, he may not participate in the battle. It was because of the consideration that Lord Gorza would not take action this time that Lord Murphy transferred a very powerful third-level wizard here. But I didn't expect..."
Thor was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted.
The mentor must follow the black tide into the Eye of the Abyss when the black tide recedes. The danger there is countless times higher than the black tide defense battle. The mentor is not sure of coming back alive, so naturally he has to retain his strength.
But Thor was silent for a moment, still did not change his mind, "I understand. I will defend this place."
Maria looked at Thor and felt warm in her heart. She wanted to hug this young but brave little wizard.
If we really count their ages, she could be his great-grandmother.
But Maria also has important work to do and cannot replace Thor.
"I will send you a wizard apprentice who is most familiar with this place. If you need anything, you can come to me."
Thor agreed immediately, "Okay. Also, I want to bring my friend Keli with me. She's a very powerful second-level wizard. Is that okay?"
"Of course no problem." Maria naturally agreed. If it weren't for the shortage of high-level wizards, she would have wanted to send another garrison to Thor.
After all, this is the first time for the other party to be stationed in the wizard tower in the Storm Sea, and it is not known whether they can adapt to the battles here.
Maria has secretly decided that when the black tide really comes, she will pay more attention to the situation here while she has the energy.
Every possible help counts.
"Then let's go back together. To guard the wizard tower here, you need to leave your signature at the Wall of Sighs, otherwise you won't be able to activate all the functions of the wizard tower."
After walking around for a long time, we still have to return to the Wall of Sighs.
But it's a good opportunity to bring Keli here too.
Hmm, I just wonder if Keli will be so nervous that her legs will shake when she is so close to Teacher Gorza?
There were no more accidents on the way back.
No wizards were missing, and no black tide monsters appeared that shouldn't have appeared at this time.
The five men escorted the body of the dead third-level wizard back to the Wall of Sighs.
This dead wizard seemed to be quite famous, so when others saw the body, they were all shocked.
Although Maria's announcement of the death caused some commotion, it also made everyone nervous to prevent further disappearances.
After handing the body over to a wizard who was good at tracing the cause of death, Maria took Thor to a three-story building located at the corner of the Wall of Sighs.
This building seems to be the communication center of the Wall of Sighs. The people inside are in a hurry. They come in, exchange information, and leave quickly.
Maria took Thor straight to the third floor. Unlike the first and second floors which had many workbenches, the third floor was a spacious hall that was completely open.
There is a crystal wall in the center of the hall. One side of the crystal wall is covered with dense golden lines. It looks a bit like a circuit board.
The other side is engraved with a large number of complex patterns, most of which have a wizard's name underneath them.
This is the place where Maria said she needed to leave her signature so that the Wizard Tower on the Storm Sea would recognize her as her owner.
Maria stepped forward and gently slid her hand across the side covered with names.
The text pattern on the crystal wall began to move left and right like a mobile phone screen, and could also be enlarged and reduced according to her gestures.
Soon, Maria skillfully found the pattern of the wizard tower that would belong to Thor.
The space below the pattern is blank.
There was supposed to be the name of a third-level wizard there, but after the other party suddenly died, the name disappeared.
Saul noticed that on the right side of this pattern, there was a similar but different group, and below that group was the signature of Mentor Gorza.
The mentor's signature was written in an elegant and relaxed handwriting, and it looked just like him - no, just like his disguise.
Maria enlarged the space left for Thor's signature, then stepped aside and said, "Thor, you can just use your magic to sign your name here. This crystal center will transmit your magic characteristics to the corresponding wizard tower. During this time, the wizard tower will be completely open to you. Before you leave, come here and erase your name."
"Okay." Thor stepped forward and was about to sign his name when he was suddenly stopped.
"Wait a moment." Murphy's figure instantly appeared between Thor and the crystal wall.
"Lord Murphy!" Maria immediately saluted respectfully.
The other wizards on the third floor also immediately stopped their work and turned to face Murphy.
"Don't worry about me." Murphy said with a smile, "You guys continue to be busy."
The others then turned back and resumed their work.
Murphy patted Thor on the shoulder and said, "You are only here temporarily for a month, so you don't need to sign your name."
Saul said nothing.
He didn't think the reason was that simple.
"Okay." Murphy shrugged like an old mischievous boy. "Actually, your mental and magical powers are too overbearing. If you sign your name, no one here will be able to enter the wizard tower in a short period of time."
"Well, as long as you can let me in, I can try to make the wizard tower obey me myself." Thor didn't care.
Maria said that without signing, you cannot use the full functions of the wizard tower. She probably meant the wizard tower’s built-in defense formation. Thor didn’t really need it anyway.
As for Keli, if there is real danger, let her hide in the chaotic area first.
"That's no problem. I won't let you down. I'll let Haili work with you to guard the Second Wizard Tower. Although he's only a third-level wizard apprentice, he's lived in the Wall of Sighs since he was a child and has been an assistant to many wizards. He's a very good kid. It's a pity that his talent is a little lacking, and he has never been able to be promoted to a formal wizard."
Thor had no objection and nodded, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Maria open her mouth wide, as if she had heard something incredible.
Why are you so surprised?
"Uh, does Haili have any special identity?"
Murphy smiled. "No, they are all wizards and apprentices from the Wall of Sighs. What's so special about them?"
