Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 460 is interesting.

The blue ID card requires you to register your identity information and allows you to do more things.

The red card doesn't require registration, but it may restrict access to certain key locations unless you provide additional information.

This was the first time Agu had encountered such a situation. Even if he could choose a red card to keep his identity confidential, he might actually attract more attention by choosing a red card.

Unable to make the decision, Agu said "Wait a moment" and turned to walk to the carriage.

Although Saul remained in the car, he paid close attention to the outside world and naturally overheard their conversation.

Without this procedure, he would definitely have entered the city discreetly. But...

"Wait, the choice between a red card and a blue card is actually irrelevant to people entering the city, because they can register their information at any time as needed, and there will be many occasions where they need to register information unless they are just passing through. So, the blue card and the red card are not important at all. What is important is that the wizards entering the city will have a card issued by Baidong Academy."

With that in mind, Thor simply got out of the carriage. "Then let's have two blue cards. My driver isn't a wizard, does he need one?"

"If he is your property, you can register his information on your pass... Oh? Are you Lord Thor?" Dumar's calm smile twitched when he saw Thor getting out of the car.

Do you know me?

"Of course, we have kept an eye on all of Lord Gorsata's students, and we cannot neglect our distinguished guests." Dumar tried to make his smile more natural, but Thor could still sense the unease emanating from him.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Your mentor is, after all, a third-tier wizard; I'm a little nervous."

Could it be such a simple reason?

Thor looked down at the blue pass in Dumar's hand.

Dumar suddenly withdrew his hand. "Oh, you don't need this kind of pass."

He quickly opened his coat and pulled a silver pass from the inner pocket.

"You can use this pass directly, and there's no need to record your identity information. Please follow me." Dumar's attitude was polite, but it was still a formulaic and mechanical introduction.

But when he faced Thor, the mechanical feeling suddenly turned awkward yet vivid.

The other party led Thor inside the fourth city gate.

There is a passageway about ten meters long here, with torches stuck in the ground on both sides. The walls are somewhat old and there are no carvings of magical formations.

But in the middle of the passage, two small things were flying around in the air.

They look somewhat like small birds, but upon closer inspection, you'll find they're made of wood and feathers.

But the bird's head is a large, flat disc.

As one of them flew towards the entrance, Thor saw 36 black spheres embedded in the disc. Inside each black sphere, there seemed to be an even darker black dot that kept moving, like the eye of a fake bird.

"A surveillance camera?" Thor guessed, tilting his head back to take a closer look.

Just then, the fake bird flew to within three meters of Thor and lowered the angle of the disc, as if it were staring at Thor.

For a fleeting moment, Thor felt that all the black eyes of the fake bird were looking at him, and he could sense someone watching him from behind those eyes.

But Thor and the fake bird only made eye contact for a moment before the bird turned around and flew off in another direction.

Their flight seems erratic and without any conscious will; they simply try their best to scan the surrounding scenery.

Such irregular patrols actually make it harder for others to find loopholes.

"Is this to prevent people from sneaking in? But the city walls here aren't very high, not even reaching the waist height of those skyscrapers in the city. Even a slightly skilled level three wizard apprentice could probably fly over them. Oh, I guess they've set up something on the walls too. They're really... rich."

Dumar led Saul and his party, along with their carriage, through the empty city gate passage.

A guard post appeared only after the gate on the opposite side, with two people sitting inside.

The two new people sat there expressionless, one of them still looking down at a book. Even when Dumar walked right up to them, neither of them raised their head.

It wasn't until Dumar bowed his head and said something to them that the two of them stood up abruptly and looked at Thor.

Their faces showed curiosity and inquiry, but not the tension that Dumar had just displayed.

One of them was still using telepathy to speak to Dumar in front of Thor.

After the two finished talking, a silver, metallic butterfly fluttered its wings and took flight from Dumar's shoulder, returning to the top of Thor's head.

"One of them was asking, 'He's not grey-skinned, how did you recognize him?' The man named Dumar said he might have disguised himself or altered his appearance," Penny translated dutifully.

"When those two saw me, their gazes were completely unfamiliar. They didn't seem to be lost in thought, as if they'd never seen me before. Their uniforms were the same as Duma's, so they must both be from Biden Academy. But there was no magical energy emanating from them... Could they really be ordinary people?"

Why are two ordinary people so casual with a second-level apprentice?

Does the Biden Academy have a hierarchy beyond merit?

Dumar spoke a few words to the two men—this time without using telepathy—and then returned with a thin booklet.

He handed the booklet to Saul with both hands, explaining, "Argoster is quite different from other cities. The living facilities might not suit your habits. If you need anything, you can refer to the contents of this guide, or I can find you a local guide."

The booklet is titled "Archaeologist's Guide to Life".

Saul took the booklet. "No need, I'll read it myself."

"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer." Dumar stepped aside to make way, his smile still somewhat stiff. "Have a pleasant stay in Archaeologists."

After saying that, Dumar turned and walked to the other end of the passage.

Saul was holding the guidebook, preparing to return to the carriage to look at it again.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something odd about Dumar's back.

Thor turned his head to the side, leaned back slightly, and tightened his grip on the guide.

Dumar's head, which was facing away from Thor as he entered the city gate passage... was actually a flat disc!

Thor immediately glanced at the two fake birds above the passageway.

That's right, from the back, Dumar's head looks exactly like those two fake birds. I wonder if, when he turns around, the disc also has 36 black eyes embedded in it?

"What's going on?" Thor pretended to rub his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found that Dumar, who was walking in the city gate passage, still had a disc-shaped head.

"Dumar!" Thor called out to the other person.

Dumar immediately turned around, but in the instant he turned around, his flat, disc-shaped head returned to its original normal shape.

"Is there anything else I can do, Lord Thor?" Dumar shrank his neck slightly, like a naughty child who had just been caught by his mother.

"Um, I've thought about it. I think I'll pass."

Dumar didn't say anything, but just smiled and bowed to Saul again before turning and continuing to walk away.

This time, Thor kept staring at him and noticed that his head did not turn into a disc again.

Just as Saul was about to get into the car with some questions in his mind, he suddenly saw something flashing above Dumar's head.

Squinting, Thor saw a very indistinct thin line extending from the very center of Dumar's head.

Slightly white and slightly transparent.

The thin line curved upwards, swaying like cooking smoke at mealtime.

The exposed length of the thin thread was less than one meter, and the end disappeared into the air.

"What is this now?"

Saul got into the car, rested his chin on his hand, and watched the city scenery slowly unfold like a scroll painting through the car window.

He suddenly smiled.

"This city...is quite interesting!"

The next update will be tonight.
