Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 508

Chapter 503 Crazy Gorza

The blue sky, the sky cleared up after the rain.

The sea breeze with its unique salty smell filled Maria’s nostrils.

She was standing on the Wall of Sighs in the northernmost part of the State Continent, looking at the gray-blue sea under her feet, listening to the wizard’s robes rustling in the wind.

The Wall of Sighs is a huge wall 200 meters high. Looking down from the sky, the endless high wall is at right angles, tightly wrapping the northern end of the continent behind.

The square bricks, mud, sand, and colloid used to cast this high wall are all rare witchcraft materials. Under the maintenance of the magic array of generations of high-level wizards for hundreds of years, it still stands tall despite experiencing many black tide tsunamis every year.

Maria is a touring wizard on the Wall of Sighs, responsible for checking the status of the wall on time to deal with the black tide tsunamis that erupt every year.

The black tide tsunami is inherently polluted. Evil spirits and monsters will be generated before and after each tsunami, and even some injured and mentally unstable wizards will be alienated due to pollution.

Therefore, Maria also has a job to visit the wizards stationed in the wizard towers outside the Wall of Sighs in turn, check their status, and make sure that no one has quietly alienated, causing them to become the helper of the black tide when it comes.

Today, Maria is going to visit a third-level wizard named Gorza.

Although Maria herself is also a third-level wizard, she does not have a big family like the Glowing behind her, and it is heard that Gorza’s strength is also the top level in the Glowing.

It’s just that his temper is a bit weird. He can obviously teleport over a short distance, but he is too lazy to even visit the wizard tower next door.

Not only did he choose one of the wizard towers farthest from the Wall of Sighs as soon as he arrived, but he has not been seen leaving the house in the past few months in the Sea of Sighs.

Every time he checked the status of each wizard tower inside the high wall, the wizard tower belonging to Gorza showed white light-someone.

Today is no exception.

“Maria.” Another itinerant wizard, Solotte, came over. “Sorry for the long wait.”

The other party was a wizard from a big family on the Nephrite continent. Maria would not offend him easily. She smiled and said, “It’s okay. I just stopped to look at the sea.”

Solotte also turned his head to look at the sea. “As long as the sea doesn’t turn black, I like to look at it, haha.”

He looked at the towering wizard towers standing on the sea in the distance, and said as if to encourage himself, “Today we will tour the two farthest wizard towers. After today, the tasks behind will be much easier.”

Although Maria did not think that the distance was proportional to the degree of danger, she nodded.

“Then let’s go.”

The two flew up together, and a layer of defensive barrier appeared around their bodies. Outside the barrier, there were two ring runes that crossed and slowly rotated around their bodies.

This was a necessary protective measure to leave the Wall of Sighs. Even if it was not the outbreak period of the black tide, it was possible to encounter residual pollution and monsters in the sea.

The two flew together for several thousand meters, and then went to different wizard towers separately.

The Glowing Family, to which Gorza belonged, was biased towards the Iskeper lineage, and had been somewhat at odds with Solotte from the Nephrite continent since ancient times.

Therefore, Solotte would not easily visit the wizards from the Iskeper lineage.

After separating from Solotte, Maria flew more carefully. Even if it would reduce the flight speed, she activated a layer of defensive amulets again.

Not long after, she finally arrived at the seventh wizard tower where Gorza was.

Maria slightly tidied up her robes that were blown by the wind, and then landed on the top of the wizard tower.

“Wizard Gorza, I am Maria, the itinerant wizard of the Wall of Sighs, and I am here for a routine visit today.”

Maria used a communication spell to send her voice inside.

“Please wait.”

Within two seconds, a gentle voice came out.

Maria had not seen Gorza yet, but she heard that he was a handsome man.

Even though he had become a third-level wizard, she couldn’t help but have some expectations.

After another minute, the black door on the top of the tower was finally pushed open.

A… bone arm poked out from inside.

Then the bones sank into the wide wizard robe, but judging from the shape of the robe, the arm inside was probably not a normal arm.

The door was completely opened, and a human face without skin, red as if it was about to smoke, appeared in front of Maria.

Maria almost used the unique concentration of a third-level wizard to not change her face in front of the other party.

“Hello, Wizard Gorza.” Although she had never seen the other party, the skinless man in front of her did exude the magic fluctuations of a third-level wizard.

“Hello.”

“Excuse me, have you been attacked?” Maria took out a golden stone. She would use this audio-visual stone to record the process of this visit.

When she returned to the Wall of Sighs, another wizard would check the scene in the audio-visual stone again to make sure that both Maria and the wizard being visited were fine.

“No, I did an experiment.” Gorza raised his hand and poked the muscles on his face with his white bones. A streak of bright red flowed down his white fingertips. The red and white contrasted, which was quite beautiful. “There was a problem. Now we are waiting for the pollution to be eliminated.”

“Pollution?” Maria’s face changed immediately. She came to inspect to check whether the wizards stationed in the tower were contaminated. “Can I check your body?”

“No.” Gorza said calmly and firmly.

Maria took a breath. She knew that most wizards would not allow others to check their physical condition, especially when the other party was at the same level as herself, both of them were third-level wizards.

Third-level wizards were definitely rare and powerful in other places, but here in the Wall of Sighs, whether it was a touring wizard or a wizard stationed in the tower, the minimum requirement was a second-level wizard.

The wizards stationed here by the Glowing Family were all third-level wizards. Only such a big family would dare to assign third-level wizards to the most dangerous places.

“Then may I ask what caused you to be contaminated? I need to know the reason and make sure the contamination is under control.”

This time Gorza did not refuse. He even invited Maria to enter the wizard tower to check it out in person.

Maria looked at Gorza warily, but unfortunately she could not see any emotion from the face with missing skin.

However, all wizards who come here will sign a covenant, so I think the other party will not dare to really attack her. Maria suppressed her inner uneasiness and followed Gorza into the wizard tower.

The interior of the wizard tower was very dark, and there was only one oil lamp swaying far away.

The two third-level wizards naturally did not care about this little darkness, and they came to Gorza’s laboratory smoothly.

As soon as she entered the door, Maria saw a bucket of black water on the ground.

Her eyes immediately focused on the bucket of water, and she did not notice other items at all.

“Is that… the black tide?”

“Yes. I intercepted a part of the black tide last time for research.”

Maria could not help but look back at the bloody wizard.

Gorza was not the only wizard who intercepted the black tide, but he had only been here for a few months, and he dared to attack the black tide!

“How bold and crazy.” Maria thought secretly.

Gorza raised his hands at this time, showing the skeleton like a pair of works of art.

“I tried to touch the black tide, and the flesh of my hands festered. Although I received timely treatment, the pollution still corroded my skin.”

Looking at Gorza who didn’t care about talking about his injuries, Maria tightened the audio-visual stone in her hand.

“I suggest you apply for rest…”

“No need.”

“But the next black tide may be this month.”

Gorza pulled the muscles on his face, revealing a row of white teeth, “It doesn’t matter, I will be fine tomorrow.”
