Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 769 Falling into the Sea

After hearing Nathan's decision to take a gamble, Thor began to see him in a new light.

According to Saul's plan, Nathan should at least find out Saul's purpose and get closer to him before slowly revealing his predicament to Saul.

But Nathan hesitated for only two weeks, or even less, before deciding to tell Saul everything.

That's quite a bold move, though it's also possible the water god was pushing too hard.

But in any case, he saved Saul a lot of time.

"In that case, let's go and see that water god directly."

Nathan was both surprised and delighted; he hadn't expected Thor to decide to go see the water god so immediately.

If even a third-tier wizard is no match for the Water God...

Nathan only thought about the question vaguely for a moment before quickly shaking his head to stop himself from thinking about it too deeply.

Since it's a gamble, once you've placed your bet, you can't let go.

Nathan quickly led the way for Thor, cautiously asking as they went, "Teacher Thor, may I...may I call you teacher now?"

This is a question of whether or not one agrees to take him on as an apprentice.

Thor considered it seriously for a moment, "You can call me mentor, but only during my time in Sky City."

Nathan was taken aback, clearly not expecting Thor to impose another condition. However, he had no room for negotiation at this point.

He hesitated for only a moment before quickly nodding, "Yes, mentor."

They were afraid that Thor would change his mind again.

There's no rule in Sky City that residents can't go out at night. However, the security at night is indeed worse than during the day, and if you go out at night, you're responsible for your own safety.

Nathan is always careful when he goes out at night and never leaves the area where wizard apprentices are active.

But today is different.

He walked ahead of Saul without even looking where he was going.

Thor, on the other hand, kept a close eye on his surroundings.

He wanted to rule out whether anyone else had interfered with Nathan's visit.

Thor walked all the way to Nathan's dormitory building and found no signs of anyone else spying on him.

Nathan's dormitory was very ordinary; he even shared the same small building with another apprentice.

Aren't you afraid your roommate will find out your secret?

“My roommate often sleeps in the lecture hall,” Nathan said with a wry smile. “And even if he finds out, he’ll just assume I bought a counterfeit. If he does suspect anything, he’ll be the one who suffers.”

"How so?"

"The last one stole my things and took this too. Later, he drowned while drinking beef soup."

As they spoke, the two arrived at Nathan's dormitory on the second floor.

The apprentices' dormitories are essentially their private laboratories, except they are responsible for the safety of their rooms.

When Nathan activated the magic circle on the door, Thor discovered that the circle was designed to "guard against honest people, not scoundrels."

Of course, as Nathan said, if a villain comes in, he'll probably become a dead villain.

Nathan's room was simple; upon entering, one could see walls covered in parchment and an extremely long table that encircled three walls.

The table was cluttered, but Thor immediately noticed the white porcelain cat sitting under the windowsill.

The white porcelain cat's eyes were also red, but compared to the imitation's red, the kitten's eyes were more translucent, as if they were inlaid with crystal.

Nathan followed Thor in, immediately closed the door tightly, and activated the soundproofing array.

He pointed to the white porcelain cat that Thor was staring at and whispered, "It's over there. But don't touch it after you get there. Anyone who touches it except me will be cursed immediately."

Thor nodded. Facing the "Water God" who could kill a third-tier wizard, he naturally wouldn't be too reckless.

Thor had just taken a step forward when he suddenly heard Nathan shout from behind, "Mentor, watch out!"

Saul had been paying close attention to the diary's reaction.

Could Nathan's defection be tainted by other intentions? Could there be a trap behind his honesty?

But no unusual lines appeared in the diary until Nathan pointed it out to him.

Therefore, Thor, who had no one to guard against for the time being, not only paid attention to the white porcelain cat in front of him, but also kept an eye on Nathan behind him.

However, the next second, his feet lost their footing, and he began to fall.

Along with the fall, there was also a sudden "bubbling" sound in my ears.

In the blink of an eye, Thor found himself in pitch-black waters, where he couldn't see his hand in front of his face, instead of Nathan's bedroom.

Thor opened his mouth, and water immediately poured into his throat. It tasted salty and bitter—it was seawater!

The seawater seemed to have a mind of its own, trying to invade his mouth, penetrate his organs, and seep into every alveolus.

For a moment, he forgot his identity and instinctively flailed his arms and legs in a panic, just like a drowning person.

But the icy seawater offered him no buoyancy whatsoever, seemingly only wanting him to drown in the darkness.

The more Thor struggled, the deeper he sank into the dark sea.

Unseen by him, in the deepest part of the sea, a small white cat stares at the man above with its red eyes.

Seeing that Thor was sinking rather slowly, the kitten flicked its tail.

A whirlpool immediately formed in the seawater, pulling Thor down faster.

Seeing that Thor in the water gradually stopped struggling, the little white cat frowned and flicked its tail again.

The vortex grew larger.

Thor sank another three or four meters in the blink of an eye.

At this point, the two were less than 100 meters apart.

Just then, a sound suddenly appeared in the little white cat's ear.

"Strange, you don't seem to be the kind of person who drowns everyone who prays for good luck, as the rumors suggest?"

The little white cat paused for a moment, then immediately changed from its squatting position to standing, looking up at the people falling rapidly above it.

Disguised as a corpse, Thor twisted his waist, turning from back to face down, but his eyes were still closed.

In such an environment where nothing can be seen, Thor doesn't need to open his eyes.

He spread his mental energy out and sensed the presence of the little white cat below and its recent movements.

After seeing him make drowning motions, the other person even controlled the seawater to make him sink faster.

This action was completely unnecessary. But the other side still accelerated twice, clearly more eager for Thor to get to it as quickly as possible.

However, after Thor stopped disguising himself, the kitten in the deep sea did not respond.

Thor had clearly sensed the other person's mental energy, but the other person did not communicate with him.

But judging from the kitten's appearance, it must have already heard what Thor said.

Thor looked at the mental energy feedback and thought for a moment before letting his body continue to sink without rushing.

Although he did experience a drowning reaction upon entering this dark sea, the mental power of a third-tier wizard gently swept over him, and his out-of-control mouth and nose returned to normal function.

At the same time, he also felt a spiritual force transmitted from the seabed.

This spiritual force stirred the seawater, swirling around Thor and pulling him down, but it did not attack or restrain Thor at all.

Thor suddenly realized that the only thing attacking him and trying to drown him was the seawater, not the source of the spiritual energy below.

As he sensed the approaching underwater spirit entity, a new idea began to form in his mind.

"Perhaps the power to grant good fortune and the curse to drown do not originate from the same source?"
