Chapter 929: The Secret Hidden Under the Sea
Thor jumped into the sea, and it was like he had stepped from peacetime into wartime. The pollution in the seawater came towards him like sharks smelling blood.
His ordinary clothes immediately corroded and became tattered.
Thor did not activate the defensive formation, but simply transformed into a black skeleton, only using magic to wrap the skin below his left wrist.
"It's a bit inconvenient to put the storage device on my wrist." He thought as he swam towards the bottom of the wizard tower, "If the pollution in the sea exceeds my tolerance, or if it is damaged in battle, the space inside may be affected. If only the things inside fall out, it's okay, but if it is directly damaged due to the deformation of the space, the loss will be great."
Although there is a lot of pollution in the black water, it is not comparable to the sea water near the Eye of the Abyss.
Thor took out the mermaid's tears, and the nearby seawater immediately moved closer to him. The pollution in the sea was diluted, and the relatively pure seawater enveloped Thor, allowing him to concentrate on observing the scene under the sea.
Thor turned and swam towards the bottom of the wizard tower.
He saw that there was a rock layer below the wizard tower. The rock layer was also long and thin, extending deep into the invisible darkness on the seabed.
It was like the fourth-level wizard who had died in battle here, barely saving the tiny bit of land beneath him, while the rest of the land was mercilessly taken away by the black tide.
Close to the rock layer, Thor found some of the same scale scratches on it, spreading downwards along the rock layer.
Thor continued descending following the traces on the rock wall.
“Crack, crack, crack…”
He suddenly heard a clear chewing sound, as if something was feasting in front of him.
Thor hurriedly followed the sound, but found that the corner where the sound came from was still a pile of rocks, and there was no snake tail that he saw in the "past".
Seeing that the foundation of the wizard tower was bottomless, Thor was not in a hurry to continue sinking. This place was very far from the coastline, not a shallow sea area like the Red Sea.
So Thor took out his diary and let the black lines permeate the underwater world before him.
The dark world completely turned into a black, white and gray structure. Then, Thor clearly saw two lines appear in front of him. One was winding downwards, and the other came from the wizard tower above his head.
That was not Keli's or Haili's line. It was intermittent, but as strong and thick as a steel cable.
Those are the lines belonging to the wizard tower above your head.
"Do the wizards who died here still have their own consciousness left?"
"So he guided me to see the scene where the third-level wizard was attacked?"
"The scene only shows the third-level wizard being dragged away by the snake's tail, but there is no picture of how his body returned to the wizard tower. Is it because I left the range of the past that the wizard tower could perceive, so I left on my own?"
Just as Thor was thinking about the autonomous consciousness contained in the wizard tower, he discovered that the other line winding downward that had just appeared in front of him had disappeared.
Thor went deeper and used the diary again, but still found nothing.
Deciding to give up the search for the time being, Thor put away his diary and began to float upwards.
On the sea, Kelly was walking on the rising and falling waves, waiting for Thor to come up.
Just now, Thor jumped into the sea without explaining to her, which made Keli confused. She didn't know what to do, so she could only stay here and wait.
Fortunately, Thor came back soon.
His body began to grow muscles and skin the moment he surfaced, so Haili, who was waiting for Thor in the wizard tower, didn't notice any changes in Thor at all.
Only Keli, who was standing on the sea, could vaguely see only slender black bones under the water.
Kelly quickly put on the robe that Thor gave her.
Although Thor appears to be wearing clothes, the clothes that are directly transformed from the black bones may just be an illusion.
Thor put on his clothes and said, "Let's go upstairs and talk."
Kelly tried to keep a straight face and flew back to the wizard tower with Thor.
Haili was also confused. How could this third-level wizard suddenly run out and jump into the sea halfway down the stairs?
This made him feel a little more skeptical.
"Is this wizard tower conscious? You said the core is the fourth-level wizards who died in battle here. Are their souls still in the tower?"
Haili was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how Thor found out. It was obvious that many third-level wizards gradually realized that the wizard tower in Storm Sea actually had some consciousness after they had settled there for a few years.
"Yes, Lord Thor. How did you find out?"
Thor pointed to the spire behind Haili and said, "It told me that. Moreover, it is trying to tell me who killed the third-level wizard."
…
Maria brought people here again because of Thor's discovery. After learning that Thor had passed by the wizard tower and saw a strange creature with a long snake-like tail hiding on the seabed, she personally checked the seabed.
She and Thor came to the same conclusion. The scale marks in the wizard tower were consistent with the marks on the rock pillars on the seabed.
Although the murderer still hasn't been found, Maria seems to have some clues. After thanking Saul and saying that she will count it among Saul's achievements, she hurried away again.
After seeing Maria leave without saying more, Thor and Kelly looked at each other, always feeling that the other party might be hiding something secret from them.
"When you were talking about the snake's tail, Maria was fine. A wizard behind her seemed to remember something, but he quickly controlled his emotions." Kelly whispered to Thor.
I have to say that Keli was very observant. She thought that Sol would stare at Maria, so she focused her attention on other people. If not, she would not have caught the fleeting change of emotion.
"No rush, we still have to stay here for a month. There will always be a chance to know what we want to know." Thor raised his hand to stop Penny from trying to follow secretly.
Keli smiled proudly and raised her fair little chin, "Don't worry, they can't hide it from me!"
Haili was unaware of the conversation between the two, and he didn't seem to care much about the death of the third-level wizard. His attention was almost entirely on the wizard tower.
Next, Sol and Kori each occupied an empty room as their temporary residence for the next month.
"I should have checked out of the hotel room." Walking out of the room, Keli clapped her hands violently.
"It's okay. The hotel is not expensive. We may return to the Far North City during this period and we will need a place to stay." Thor tried to touch the wall of the Wizard Tower again, but this time he was unable to continue watching the history of the Wizard Tower.
"What should we do next? Just wait for the black tide to come?" asked Keli.
"Make some magic scrolls first," Thor said solemnly. "The more the better. Inert formula, alpha radiation... you are good at all of these. When the black tide comes, the magic power in the air will also be affected. Instead of using magic crystals to replenish magic power, it is better to make some attack scrolls that take effect immediately to deal with intensive battles."
Keli nodded, but puffed up her cheeks again, "These witchcrafts you mentioned are not cheap!"
A piece of gray bone fragment suddenly appeared in Thor's palm.
He tossed the ashes twice and said, "This thing seems to be very valuable here. I'll get some more and try to balance the income and expenditure."
