Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 853 The Black Tide is Coming

Char: [Is anyone there? Is the signal down? Isn't this rainbow channel supposed to be pretty sensitive? Why is it so unstable?]

Just after Thor finished discussing important matters with Froco, he heard Char, who was locked in a dark room, shouting.

"Alright, I had something to discuss with Floco just now. Now, let's talk about you. How are you doing? Have you mastered the Upside-Down Tree yet?"

Char's voice was filled with emotion.

[My life has been tough too. I was only at level one when I died, and with the help of external forces, I barely reached level two. Now I have to tame a level three.]

Thor was well aware of Char's situation; it was good enough that he could recuperate properly in the upside-down tree for now, and there was no rush to make him rise to power immediately.

Of course, it can't be too bland either, otherwise, without a dramatic and unpredictable fate, how can Thor be given enough power of destiny?

Thor was planning to find something for Char to do once Char had adapted to the inverted tree's body.

Char: [By the way, although I'm currently recuperating, I've sent some roots out to scout the area, and they discovered something.]

"What's wrong?"

Char: [The Principality of Kema seems to be in some turmoil lately. Almost all the troops and wizards who were stationed outside Archista have left. They all look grave, as if something major has happened.]

"The army has been transferred out. Is there another war? The Principality of Knas is no longer a force to be reckoned with. Could it be that another power is invading?"

However, the Kerma Empire and Thor did not have such a close connection, so Thor naturally would not allow Char, who was still recuperating, to risk going out.

"Okay, if anything happens near Archista, keep an eye out for me, but don't leave Bydon Academy. Don't let it affect your health."

Char was momentarily moved.

After regaining his senses, he wondered why he had been so moved. Could it be that Thor had influenced his mind?

Before Char could think it through, Thor had already disconnected the Rainbow Channel.

He has limited time to stay in the colorful world now; once he has finished his business, it is time for him to leave.

As he left, Saul said goodbye to Peer once again.

"Goodbye." Pei'er's voice was more emotional than when they first met. "I probably won't go back again, and I probably won't show up next time you come."

Sol understood that it wouldn't be easy for Pei'er to survive in the Rainbow World; after all, it was a place where just staying alive required immense effort for her.

However, if you can establish yourself here, the potential here is much higher than in the Wizarding World.

"I know, I already have a platform here, so I won't bother you anymore when I come over. You can focus on yourself."

Although he couldn't see Pell's face, Thor could still recall how Pell was both flamboyant and somewhat clumsy in the No Man's Lands.

He sighed inwardly and said one last thing, "Goodbye."

There was no response.

Thor disconnected and returned to the Wizarding World.

After Thor left, an unknown amount of time passed before a faint "Goodbye" was heard.

After Thor's consciousness returned to the palace where he was temporarily staying, he stopped thinking about Pelle.

In fact, he and Pei'er weren't even lovers; it was just that they both had crises to deal with at the time, and it was more advantageous for them to be together.

Now that Pei'er has survived the greatest life-threatening crisis and has found new opportunities, Saul naturally won't hold a grudge against her.

This is the norm in the wizarding world.

"Is someone looking for me?" Thor stood up and asked the wind spirit and Nerella beside him.

The wind demon was too lazy to speak, while Nerila was more attentive.

"The servant who used to come here often came looking for you, but he knocked on the door and left when you didn't answer."

Saul knew it was Sander who had come to see him.

These days he stays indoors, and Sander can only contact him through his servants if he needs anything.

This also aligns with Sander's current slightly impatient state.

It's time to go see Sander.

With these thoughts in mind, Thor, having interrupted his seclusion for many days, left the palace and took a carriage to meet the puppet emperor of Eternal Night.

The preparations are almost complete; the next step is to help Sander's sister, Midor, adapt to her new body.

If his third target can successfully take root after this black tide, then Sander and Midor will no longer be mere puppets.

All parties are making intensive preparations. The wizards responsible for monitoring the movement of the Black Tide at the front line changed from reporting once every three days to once a day, and finally to once an hour.

Wizards have been deployed to defend the entire southeastern coastline of Neflet.

These wizards must fight against the sea monsters that come with the black tide.

Each black tide is accompanied by severely corrupted and mutated monsters, their numbers varying and unpredictable. Yet, the Tribunal must always defend against them with the highest level of defense.

If the monsters break through the defense line, destroy the Red Sea Forest, and allow the Black Tide to reach the shore, then the continent of Neflet will be pulled towards the Eye of the Abyss.

Even if the defenses are breached once or twice, it doesn't matter. No one dares to gamble the future of the entire continent on the consequences of a single oversight.

On the day the Black Tide officially appeared on the defensive perimeter, unsurprisingly, no one assigned Thor any tasks.

Thor was originally invited to treat the mermaids. Although the fundamental problem has not been solved yet, the Eternal Night Royal Family has always treated him well, and there has never been a shortage of witchcraft materials and magic crystals.

Thor doesn't need to deplete his own reserves at all.

However, if Thor wants to go to the defensive line to help, the people of Eternal Night will welcome him.

After all, he was a third-tier wizard, and a powerful one at that, capable of sealing the eye of the storm on his own.

Even if he can only help in one defense zone, it makes people feel more at ease.

Thor had already made up his mind to show his face on the battlefield today.

Before setting off, he met with Sander and handed him the black branch he had been nurturing for a long time.

"Midor is inside now, but she'll definitely need a few days to adjust. Spend some time with her and tell her not to be afraid."

Sander carefully took the branch, recalling how he often saw Thor spin it up and down with one hand before Midor entered the black branch. He wondered if Midor had become dizzy from being spun around in the branch since Thor moved her into it a couple of days ago.

Sander kept his worries to himself. Whether Saul's actions were habitual or had ulterior motives, it wasn't something Sander should question.

He wasn't a wizard; he could only remain emperor if he became someone useful to wizards.

Thor handed over the black branch without any concern.

Right now, Midor looks like a bare branch, but if she wants to move, she can grow into a towering tree in an instant.

It's just that we don't need it now.

Thor left the Eternal Night Palace and went straight to the beach.

He had asked about the location of the Black Flame Emperor beforehand and chose the corresponding defense zone without any hesitation.

Once you get close to the coast, the sky looks different from when you're inland.

Although it was cloudy above the palace, it was still clear that it was daytime.

The closer you get to the sea, the thicker and darker the clouds become.

When we reached a high point by the sea, we looked into the distance and saw that the sky was gray and black, and the sunlight was completely blocked.

The thick clouds churned and surged, as if countless insects and snakes were writhing and crawling inside, ready to break through the clouds at any moment.

The sea beneath the clouds appeared lifeless, devoid of any surging waves.

Before the big waves arrived, the seawater was unusually calm, and the tide even receded to the outer edge of the Red Sea Tree.

The Red Sea Trees, which were originally as shiny as jewels in the sunlight, now looked as ferocious as if stained with blood.

"The Black Tide is coming," Thor said softly, as if afraid that if he spoke too loudly, he would shatter the fragile peace before him.
