Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 927 The Standing Corpse

Thor soon met Hellie, a third-level wizard apprentice.

The other person didn't look very old, probably not even thirty.

Such talent is considered quite good among ordinary wizards.

Why did Murphy say he lacked the talent to become a proper wizard?

"Hello, Lord Thor. I will cooperate with you in the defense work in the days to come." Haili's face was expressionless, and he looked somewhat stern.

Thor secretly compared Murphy and Haley's appearances and found that the two did not look alike, so they were probably not related by blood.

"Okay. I'll leave the rest to you," Thor said politely.

Haley bowed to Maria and the wizard Murphy, then said to Thor, "If you have nothing else to do, let's go straight to the Second Wizarding Tower."

He's quite an impatient fellow.

"I'm also bringing a friend along."

This wizard apprentice seems to have some arrogance about him.

Thor was genuinely curious about the other person's identity. He also noticed that Hely hadn't signed his name at the foot of the Second Wizard Tower.

Does that mean the other party can use the facilities in the Second Wizard Tower even without signing?

With Maria's help, Thor quickly found Klee, who was still helping out at the Wailing Wall.

Klee was naturally willing to stay with Thor at the Wizard's Tower on the Storm Sea, even if it would become very dangerous once the battle began.

Keli had changed back into her black wizard robe, except that the edges were now covered in fur, making it look very similar to the robes worn by the locals.

Klee crossed the Wailing Wall for the first time and arrived at the Storm Sea.

Although there were no waves on the sea, the wind was blowing and the clouds were surging overhead, and the sky was dark, as if an enemy might appear at any moment.

"It's like a completely different world here compared to inside the walls." Claire followed Thor, gazing at the sea. "It feels like a fight could break out at any moment. It's quite different from the situation in the No Man's Lands."

"There are still some ordinary people in the No Man's Lands, but not here." Thor told Claire about their encounter with the monster at sea. "If we split up on the Stormy Seas during this time, you need to be careful. The Bone Dragon... can't be brought here."

The skeletal dragon's arrival in the Wizarding World activates its inherent corrupting properties. On land, it's manageable, but in this stormy sea filled with the Black Tide's pollution, it's like carrying a candle into a powder keg—one wrong move and it'll explode.

Keli nodded like a squirrel, "Definitely not, it took me a long time to recover from the aftereffects last time."

Riding a skeletal dragon while simultaneously using radiation magic to resist pollution is a considerable burden for Klee.

The two communicated using secret language. Haili glanced at them from the side but said nothing.

Halfway there, Thor encountered another Black Tide monster, which was very weak, barely reaching the first tier.

The monster seemed to see that there were three of them and did not attack, but Thor sensed its presence and killed it with a single Soul Blade.

Then Xiaozao appeared, scooped up water for a long time, and came back soaking wet, sighing and shaking her head.

Thor laughed and said, "I already said that gray bones are very rare drops, so it's normal not to have them."

Haili's attention was immediately drawn to the little algae, and a rare look of surprise appeared on his face. "Lord Thor, isn't your pet afraid of the Kuroshio Tide pollution?"

Sol curled his fingers and scratched Little Algae's chin. Little Algae was much thinner now, so he could only scratch precisely.

"It's not afraid; it grew up amidst the Kuroshio Current's pollution."

Hailey's eyes widened, and his gaze towards Thor changed.

He was a wizard born at the Wailing Wall, and had witnessed the battles of high-ranking wizards since childhood. Even when he learned that Thor was a third-ranking wizard from the No Man's Land, he didn't find him particularly special.

He even felt that the Tier 3 wizards in the No Man's Lands were all fed by the Stargate Council and the Tribunal, and were incomparable to the Tier 3 wizards of the Wailing Wall.

But he didn't expect that Thor's pets would be immune to the Kuroshio pollution.

You should know that the Black Tide is about to arrive, and the sea is highly polluted. Even some second-tier wizards are unwilling to enter the seabed. However, Thor's pet dares to go, and even said that it was raised in the pollution of the Black Tide.

Even if this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it must contain some truth.

Thor was unaware that Hailey was looking at him with new respect because of the algae, and he didn't care about an apprentice's opinion.

However, this apprentice's status seemed somewhat special, as the two would be fighting in a wizard's tower in the future, so they treated him relatively gently.

"By the way, Hailey, Maria the Wizard said that only a signature can tame the wizard towers of the Storm Sea. Are these wizard towers alive?" Thor asked.

"Not alive, but dead," Haili replied. "The wizard towers here are different from those of the Radiant Family. They use the Heart of a Giant as the core of their wizard towers, but these wizard towers are constructed from the corpses of sea monsters, and their core is the wizard who originally died in the Black Tide. The wizard tower you are going to now has a fourth-tier wizard at its core."

"Wow!" Claire exclaimed softly.

"Yes, the cores of the first few wizard towers in the Storm Sea are all the corpses of fourth-tier wizards. Only they could stand firm in the Black Tide for a hundred years."

Although Haili showed no expression, it was clear that he was in a heavy mood. "Lord Thor, you may not be aware of the history of the Wailing Wall. After the continent of Desserdir was swallowed by the Eye of the Abyss, the people of other continents panicked. It was the first time they had faced the Black Tide, and the Far North City temporarily established a defensive camp to prevent the continent of Statt from being corrupted and swallowed as well. However, even with so many wizards participating in the fight against the Black Tide, Statt still almost fell."

Haili raised his hand and gestured a range.

"You see, before the Black Tide appeared, the continent of State actually extended all the way to here. But after that Black Tide, the continent disappeared until it was blocked by Lord Murphy's Wall of Sighs, at which point the Black Tide stopped its erosion."

"No wonder the far north eventually became an acute angle." Thor shook his head. He couldn't imagine what the wizards felt when they first saw the Black Tide.

"It's hard to imagine that so many fourth-tier wizards died in this place back then." Claire sighed, her feelings completely different now when she looked at the slender wizard towers around her.

That straight tower, isn't it like a warrior who has stood here for a hundred years?

"Yes, sacrificing oneself for others. It's hard to imagine a wizard known for his selfishness doing such a thing," Thor thought to himself.

"Yes," Hailey said softly, "why did such a powerful wizard have to die at the very beginning?"

At this moment, the second wizard tower that Thor was heading to had already appeared before him, and the first wizard tower where his mentor Gorsa was located was also showing a faint outline on the horizon.

In a daze, the two wizard towers seemed to transform into two towering giants, their backs to Stath and their faces toward the Eye of the Abyss.

Haili's voice rang out, "Lord Thor, the wizards who died here left a part of their souls in the Wailing Wall, so once you sign at the Crystal Central, you will gain temporary control of the Wizard Tower."

"Murphy didn't ask me to sign." Thor recalled how Murphy had suddenly appeared in front of him and the Crystal Central, an act that was practically preventing him from signing.

Thor had already sensed something was amiss, and now, hearing Hely recount the history of the Wizard's Tower and its relationship with the Wailing Wall, he felt even more puzzled.

Murphy didn't want him to sign the Crystal Central document.

Why?
