Chapter 768 Nathan Wants to Take a Gamble

Despite having obtained the white porcelain cat from Nathan, Thor did not give up his position as a substitute lecturer.

Because after Kate tested the effects of the porcelain cat, the abnormality on the porcelain cat disappeared.

Based on this, Thor concluded that the power of the white porcelain cats capable of influencing third-tier wizards did not reside within the cats themselves. These white porcelain cats, sold separately, likely served merely as a medium.

On the other end of the media chain, there is still a high probability that it lies with Nathan.

So, in the second week, Thor still went to teach.

But Nathan didn't come that day.

He must have gone to study the modification plan for the positioning device that Thor gave him.

Thor wasn't in a hurry. He continued to follow his plan, bombarding the apprentices with new knowledge that wasn't beyond their syllabus but was generally inaccessible to them. He would scold them until they lowered their heads and focused on their own studies, not daring to disturb him.

During this time, Thor also visited the White Glass Castle and discussed with Ophelia how to establish a passage to connect with the Iridescent World.

Ophelia also asked about the progress of Thor's investigation. Although she could see where Thor was, she couldn't see exactly what he was doing.

Thor simply told her that there were clues and that they were investigating, and Ophelia nodded and continued to concentrate on her research into communicating with the other world.

Two weeks later, one of the students in Thor's class went back to prepare for becoming a full-fledged wizard.

Although the Great Lecture Hall would not reward Saul for this, the apprentice said before leaving that if he was promoted, he would pay Saul a large sum of money for teaching.

Thor wasn't short of money, but the Spirit Cleansing Tower was lacking, so he didn't refuse.

Nathan finally returned the day after this incident.

He went straight to Saul after class and said he had something he wanted to talk to him about.

Nathan looked exhausted, with red eyes, as if he hadn't slept for days.

Saul knew his bait had worked. The fish had taken the bait and was hesitating whether to spit it out.

The two returned to their old tavern private room.

"What do you want from me?"

Nathan took two deep breaths, then suddenly stood up. "Master Thor, I wish to formally become your apprentice!"

"Oh?" Thor leaned back, looking relaxed. "Your locator should be getting upgraded soon after the upgrade, right? Would it be appropriate for you to ask me to be your mentor again?"

"Actually, I've already figured it out." Nathan was very nervous, his knuckles turning white from clenching his fists. "You're not a first-tier wizard, not even a second-tier wizard!"

Thor wasn't embarrassed by being exposed, but he was still a little puzzled. "How did you know I'm not a first-order, or even a second-order?"

He hid a trick in Nathan's modification plan. It's something that usually only second-tier wizards and above can do.

He wanted to see if Nathan could confirm this with the help of the White Porcelain Cat, or if there was something else behind him.

"Because a first-tier wizard's understanding of the locator cannot reach your level. And while a second-tier wizard can do what you did with the information you left on it, it would probably take a third-tier wizard to do it as easily as you."

"Even with extensive knowledge, a level three apprentice like you couldn't possibly know this. Who told you?"

"Yes, it was the water god who told me!" Nathan shouted in one breath.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to lose all his strength, his body swayed, and he almost sat down.

"Water god? Is there anyone who dares to call themselves a god in front of a wizard these days?" Thor curled the corners of his mouth, remaining calm and composed.

Seeing Thor's expression, Nathan seemed to be encouraged as well.

"The Water God is actually the original White Porcelain Cat, while the White Porcelain Cat I sold to you is just a fake. However, because it was once stored with the original, it gained some of the original's power."

"So there's a real one. The fake you gave me can only affect first-tier official wizards at most, and its effect on second-tier and above wizards is pitifully small. So what can the real one do? Can it kill a third-tier wizard?"

Nathan was startled by Thor's words, "Kill a third-tier wizard"? Did Thor think he was there to harm him?

"No, no, no, Master Thor, I have no ill intentions in coming to you. In fact, the water god I spoke of is also in a sealed state. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to me."

"You mean this water god is in a sealed state? Then, was it also the water god who instructed you to secretly give the white porcelain cat to the airship's attendant to sell, and then the airship attendant sold it to different merchants?"

Nathan was stunned. He realized that he was supposed to confess to Saul, but Saul already knew what he was going to confess.

Then is his defection even meaningful?

With that in mind, Nathan could only do his best to provide some more useful information.

"Yes, although the Water God didn't say it explicitly, I think he sent the White Porcelain Cat out to break the seal. But this is too dangerous. If it gets noticed, it could reveal the Water God's existence. That's why I've only allowed them to attack ordinary people."

Nathan probably didn't expect that there would be such a boring third-tier wizard as Thor who would actually squeeze into an airship that ordinary people ride.

"You're being too cautious. How much power can ordinary people accumulate? When will your water god break the seal?"

"Occasionally, I also sell them secretly to wizard apprentices. If they resell them later and come to me, I'll push the blame onto the airship merchants."

"Hide yourself in a circle so you won't be discovered." Thor actually quite admired this third-level wizard apprentice.

The water god asked him to help sell the white porcelain cats, so he first sold these kittens to ordinary people. Once the supply was distributed, it became difficult to trace the origin of the white porcelain cats in his possession.

Others would hardly realize that he was the real supplier.

Moreover, that so-called water god wouldn't beg Nathan for help in a gentle way. He would definitely use rather forceful methods.

Nathan chose to tell himself everything...

"You want me to help you break free from the water god's control?"

Nathan nodded, his face showing fear, but his eyes were firm.

"The Water God is already urging me to spread the White Porcelain Cat to the official wizards. But once I do that, no matter how careful I am, I will be discovered sooner or later. When the wizards find out that I sold the White Porcelain Cat, which brings death, as a lucky charm, they will definitely not let me off the hook. But if I don't do what the Water God says, he can drown me with his own saliva at any time."

"So, after realizing I'm actually a third-tier wizard, you came to me to confess? You wanted to become my apprentice and use the Water God as tuition?"

"You were absolutely right." Nathan clasped his hands tightly together. "I know this might upset you, but I'm desperate and have no choice but to take this gamble."

He looked up, his eyes fixed on Thor.

"I bet you came to the lecture hall disguised as a first-tier wizard because of me! Because of the water god behind me!"
