Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 925 Factors of Unease

Thor was ruthlessly expelled from the wizard tower by Gorsar. Standing alone on the sea, he thought, "Should I go back to the Wailing Wall and choose another wizard tower to guard?"

He tried it and found that he could still teleport to Claire's side.

While others worry about the Kuroshio Current's pollution, he isn't afraid.

Just as Thor was about to teleport, he suddenly saw a figure flying towards him in a hurry.

It was Maria, the itinerant wizard who had just parted ways with him.

"Lord Thor, have you seen the wizard Gorsa?" Maria seemed a little anxious.

"Yes, I just came out. My advisor is doing an experiment. Do you want to see him?"

Maria breathed a sigh of relief. "Ah, then no need."

Thor: "Hmm?"

After asking around, they stopped looking?

Maria quickly explained, "While investigating the Black Tide monster invasion, I discovered that a third-tier wizard has gone missing!"

"What?" Even though he wasn't from the Wailing Wall, Thor could understand Maria's nervousness.

That's a third-tier wizard, how could he just disappear like that?

Just then, three more wizards flew over from afar. Their expressions were relatively calm, which reassured the tense Maria somewhat.

"Your Majesty," a witch approached Maria, "no other witches have gone missing so far."

Maria had already guessed their intentions from their expressions. So she turned to Thor and said, "We're going to check out the missing wizard's tower. Thor, would you like to go back to the Wall of Sighs and choose a tower to guard, or... come with us?"

"I'll go with you," Thor said immediately.

He followed Maria and discovered that they were heading in the direction closest to Gorsa's wizard tower.

Although it's close, it's still quite far from Gorsa's wizard tower.

Accommodating the speed of the second-tier wizard, they arrived at the foot of the wizard's tower.

From the outside, the wizard tower in front of us showed no signs of damage, except that the door was half-open, revealing a dark crack inside.

Upon approaching, the group did not immediately enter, but instead dispersed and skillfully set up a magical array.

Saul observed the gate and noticed several dried water stains on it. The stains were yellowish, and from their outlines, they looked like something had meandered across the ground with slight dragging.

At this moment, the other wizards had already set up a magic circle. The circle used the three wizards' bodies as nodes to create three pillars of light. The pillars of light spread out evenly, and the overlapping parts formed a brighter area that enveloped the slender wizard tower.

"You can go in now," Maria said, then led the way into the wizard's tower, which was shrouded in light.

The door was pushed open, and it made a creaking sound.

Thor glanced at the crack in the door; there were already signs of rust there.

“No normal door would be like this,” Maria said. “It must have been caused by an intruder.”

"The intruders may have come from the sea," Thor said, casting a few glow spells to illuminate the ground. "Look at the marks on the ground."

There were some minor scratches in the areas illuminated by the light.

Maria crouched down and carefully traced the marks on the ground with her hand. A small flame rose from her fingertips and quickly went out.

"These are... the marks of scales?" Maria frowned, her expression somewhat grave.

The wizard behind him seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Could it be a mermaid?"

Others chimed in, "A while ago, someone spotted mermaids in the Storm Sea. Apparently, they caused the Tribunal a lot of trouble while fleeing the Red Sea, almost destroying their Red Sea Tree. It seems they've now turned to the Wailing Wall for cover."

These people only knew a general idea about mermaids. Thor shook his head. "Individual mermaids aren't that strong. The most powerful one is only at the level of a first-tier wizard. The mermaid mutant in the Red Sea fused with hundreds of thousands of mermaids and took advantage of the pollution brought by the Black Tide, which caused the massive destruction."

The three wizards beside him looked over suspiciously.

"This is Wizard Thor. He was there when the mermaids rioted," Maria introduced to the group, her gaze warning them. "Wizard Thor is a third-tier wizard and a guest invited by the Wall of Sighs to temporarily reside there."

The wizards were startled. They hadn't expected the wizard in front of them to be a third-tier wizard. The other party wasn't releasing any spiritual power and looked very young. They hadn't expected him to already be a third-tier wizard.

The wizards in front of them were all second-tier wizards, which would be very powerful elsewhere and could be the leaders of a force, but in the Wailing Wall, they were the mainstays—meaning they were very common.

They stopped talking and waited for Saul to speak.

However, Thor had no other clues. He had just arrived today and didn't know the area well. Apart from noticing the drag marks on the ground, he had no other ideas.

Seeing that Thor had no other clues, Maria stood up. "Alright, let's continue to investigate."

On the way, Maria told Thor that she discovered during a routine patrol that the third-tier wizards here had not responded for a day, and the signatures left on the Wall of Sighs had also disappeared. She then immediately ordered her men to contact all the wizards stationed at the wizard tower to see if anyone else had gone missing.

The good news is that only one third-tier wizard is currently missing, but the bad news is that, according to intelligence, the missing third-tier wizard should be in the Wizard Tower.

If contact is lost under such circumstances, the other party is likely in grave danger.

As they descended the stairs, activating defensive magic, Maria, who was at the front, stopped again on the last floor.

Before Saul had even rounded the last staircase corner, he heard Maria sigh and say, "We've found his body."

Saul quickened his pace and saw a skeleton lying at the bottom of the stairs.

The body looked as if it had been gnawed by wild animals, with bones exposed in many places.

"The parts that were eaten were mostly fleshy and fatty parts, and the internal organs were all gone," said another second-tier wizard. His face was a little pale, clearly indicating that if he could eat a third-tier wizard's enemy, he could easily eat him as well.

Thor moved closer and saw Maria squat down again to turn over the body. He took the opportunity to observe the surroundings as well.

The dead third-tier wizard was emaciated, with much of his flesh gnawed away from his thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. His arms and ribcage remained largely unchanged, with only some scratches. Flesh from his cheeks had also been bitten away, exposing his teeth. However, there were no visible wounds on his forehead.

Looking further down into the empty abdomen, the internal organs protected by the ribs had been hollowed out, leaving only an empty, bloody hole.

Maria stood up, wiped the blood off her hands, and frowned even more, her two thin eyebrows almost tangling together.

"Judging from the bite marks on the edges... they are human teeth."

The other wizards in the room fell silent instantly.

"A human? Could it be some wizard who has been corrupted?"

Maria's facial skin tightened. "The Black Tide is about to arrive. I hope it's not some wizard causing trouble at this time."

Maria sealed the body and then put it away. "We'll take the body to the Wall of Sighs first. I remember someone skilled in regression magic can reconstruct the circumstances of the death. Also, we need to find another wizard to guard this wizard's tower."

"This is practically the front line, and only third-tier wizards can be stationed here. Who would be willing to come over so soon?" a second-tier wizard said with difficulty.

At that moment, Thor raised his hand and said softly, "I can fill in temporarily."
