Chapter 503 – Crazy Golza
Chapter 503 – Crazy Golza
The azure sky cleared up after the rain.
The sea breeze poured into Maria’s nostrils with its characteristic salty smell.
She was currently standing on the northernmost wall of sighs on the Stat Continent, looking at the gray-blue sea beneath her feet and listening to her mage robes hunting in the wind.
The Wall of Sighs was a huge wall that was 200 meters high. Looking down from the sky, the high wall that stretched at a right angle wrapped the northern end of the continent behind it tightly.
The square bricks, mud and sand, and gelatin used to cast this high wall were all rare sorcerous materials, and under the maintenance of the spells of generation after generation of high-ranking sorcerers over the centuries, it still stood despite having survived the Black Tide Tsunami many times a year.
Maria is an itinerant wizard on the Wall of Sighs, responsible for checking the state of the wall on time for the annual outbreak of the Black Tide Tsunami.
The Black Tide Tsunami comes with its own pollution, generating evil spirits and monsters before and after each tsunami, and even some injured and mentally unstable wizards are alienated by the pollution.
So Maria also had the job of visiting the wizards stationed in the wizard tower outside the Wall of Sighs on a rotating basis, checking their status to make sure that no one was quietly alienated, resulting in the Black Tide coming in and becoming an aid to the Black Tide instead.
Today Maria was going to visit a third-order sorcerer named Golza.
Although Maria herself was a third-order sorcerer, she didn’t have a big family like Glow behind her, and it was heard that Golza’s strength was at the top tier of Glow.
It’s just that her temperament is a bit odd, obviously she can already do short distance instantaneous transfer, but she is even too lazy to go to the next door of the wizard tower.
He not only came to choose the farthest distance from the wall of sighs one of several wizard tower, and the sea of sighs these months, also did not see him out of the door.
Every time he checked the status of the various sorcerer towers within the high walls, the one belonging to Golza was displaying a white light – someone was there.
Today was no exception.
“Maria.” Soloth, another traveling wizard, rushed over, “Sorry for the wait.”
The other party was a sorcerer from one of the big families on the Nefret continent, Maria would not be offended easily, she smiled and said, “That’s fine, I also happened to stop by to see the sea.”
Solot also turned his head to look at the sea, “As long as the sea hasn’t turned black, I quite like looking at it too, haha.”
He looked out at a towering wizard tower standing above the sea in the distance, and said as if he was giving himself a pep talk, “Today we’re going to tour the two farthest wizard towers, and when we get past today, the tasks behind us will be much easier.”
Although Maria didn’t feel that the distance was proportional to the level of danger, she still nodded her head.
“Let’s go then.”
The two of them flew up together, a defense barrier also appearing around their bodies. Outside the barrier, there were also two ring-shaped runes that crossed and slowly rotated around their bodies.
This was the protection necessary to leave the Wall of Sighs, even if it wasn’t the outbreak of the Black Tide now, there was still a chance that they might encounter residual pollution and monsters in the sea.
The two flew together for a few thousand meters before separating to head to different wizard towers.
The Glow Family that Golza belonged to favored the Ethkelper continent, and Solitude from the Nephrite continent had been somewhat at odds with each other since ancient times.
Therefore, Solot would not easily visit the wizards belonging to the Iskender lineage.
After separating from Solot, Maria flew more carefully. Even if she would reduce her flying speed, she once again opened a layer of defense talisman.
After a short while, she finally arrived at the seventh wizard tower where Golza was.
Maria slightly straightened her wind-blown robes before landing at the top of the Sorcerer Tower.
“Sorcerer Golza, I am Maria, the itinerant sorcerer of the Wall of Sighs, paying a routine visit today.”
Maria sent a summoning spell, sending her voice in.
“Please wait.”
Not two seconds later, a voice as gentle as water came out.
Maria hadn’t met Golza yet, but she had heard that he was a beautiful man.
Even if she had already become a third-ranked sorcerer, it was hard for her to avoid some anticipation.
After another minute, the black door at the top of the tower was finally pushed open.
A …… white bone arm poked out from inside. The white bone then disappeared into the wide sorcerer’s robe, but looking at the shape presented by the clothes, the arm inside was feared to not be a normal arm either.
The door opened completely, and a completely skinless, red as if it was about to smoke at any moment face was presented to Maria.
Maria almost utilized the unique stamina of a third-ranked sorcerer to not change her face in front of the other party.
“Hello, Wizard Golza.” Although she hadn’t seen the other party before, the skinless person in front of her did emanate the magical fluctuations of a third-order sorcerer.
“Hello.”
“At the risk of asking, were you attacked?” Maria took out a golden stone, the AV stone she would use to record the visit.
When she returned to the Wall of Sighs, another wizard would check the view in the AV stone again to make sure that nothing was wrong with either Maria or the wizard being visited.
“No, I did an experiment.” Gortha raised his hand and poked a muscle directly in his face with his own white bone, and a stream of bright red ran down his white fingertips, red and white, it was a nice sight to see, “Something went a little wrong, and now we’re waiting for the contamination to be removed.”
“Contamination?” Maria immediately changed her face, she had come to make her rounds just to check if the resident tower wizard had been contaminated, “Can I check your body?”
“No.” Golza said calmly yet firmly.
Maria sucked in a breath, she knew that most sorcerers would not allow others to check their physical state, especially if the other party was on the same level as herself both being third-ranked sorcerers.
Third Order Sorcerers were definitely rare and powerful everywhere else, but here at the Wall of Sighs, the minimum requirement for both itinerant sorcerers and wizards in residence at the tower was a Second Order Sorcerer.
And the wizards stationed here by the Glow Family were all Third Order wizards. Only a big family like that would dare to assign a Third Order to the most dangerous place.
“Then may I ask what caused you to be contaminated? I need to be clear about the cause to ensure that the contamination is manageable.”
This time Golza didn’t refuse, and he even invited Maria to enter the wizard tower and inspect it himself.
Maria gave Gortha a wary look, but unfortunately failed to discern any emotion from the missing skinned face.
However, all the wizards who came here would sign a covenant, so it was thought that the other party wouldn’t dare to really make a move against them. Maria suppressed her inner uneasiness and followed Golza into the wizard’s tower.
The interior of this sorcerer’s tower was very dark, with an oil lamp swaying only from a long distance away.
The two third-order wizards naturally didn’t care about this bit of darkness, and made their way smoothly to Golza’s laboratory.
As soon as they entered, Maria saw a bucket of black water on the floor.
Her eyes immediately coalesced on the bucket of water, completely unable to notice the other items.
“Is that …… Black Tide?”
“Yes. I intercepted a portion of the last Kuroshio and used it for research.”
Maria couldn’t help but look back at the bloodied wizard again.
Golza wasn’t the only sorcerer who had intercepted the Black Tide, but he had only been here for a few months, and he had the audacity to take on the Black Tide!
“How bold and crazy.” Maria thought darkly.
Golza raised his hands at that moment, displaying the white bones like a pair of works of art.
“I tried touching the Black Tide, and the flesh and blood of my hands festered. It was treated in time, but the contamination corroded the skin nonetheless.”
Looking at Golza, who didn’t care about recounting his injuries, Maria tightened the AV stone in her hand.
“I suggest you still apply for recuperation ……”
“Not necessary.”
“But the next Black Tide could be this month.”
Gortha tugged at the muscles in his face, revealing rows of white teeth, “That’s okay, I’ll be fine tomorrow.”
Pull the tower master out for a walk.
