Chapter 769: Falling into the sea

Chapter 769: Falling into the Sea
Listening to Nathan’s letting go, Saul once again looks at him differently.

According to Saul’s plan, Nathan how to understand the purpose of begging Saul, drawing closer to Saul’s relationship before slowly revealing his predicament to Saul.

But Nathan only hesitated for two weeks, or less, before deciding to tell Saul everything.

Quite a bold move, but of course it could be that the Water God pushed him too hard.

But either way, he saved Saul a lot of time.

“In that case, let’s go directly to meet that Water God.”

Nathan was surprised and delighted, he didn’t expect Sol to decide to meet that Water God right away.

If even a third-ranked sorcerer wasn’t a match for the Water God ……

Nathan only vaguely thought about this question for a moment before he hastily shook his head to keep himself from thinking deeply.

Since it was a gamble, you couldn’t leave your hand if you bought it.

Nathan hurriedly led the way for Sol, carefully asking as he walked, “Instructor Sol, so, so can I call you Instructor now?”

This was asking if he agreed to accept him as his disciple.

Saul seriously considered for a moment, “You can call me mentor, but only for the time I’m in Sky City.”

Nathan froze, obviously not expecting Sol to give a limited condition. However, he had no qualifications to bargain now.

He froze for only a moment before nodding his head in a hurry, “Okay, mentor.”

Fearing that Saul would regret it again.

Sky City did not have a saying that residents could not go out at night. However, it was true that the security at night was not as good as during the day, and if one went out at night, one would be responsible for their own safety and security.

Nathan would definitely be careful when going out at night on weekdays, and would not leave the area where the sorcerer apprentices were active.

But today is different.

He walked ahead of Sol, not even looking at the road.

Instead, Saul kept his eyes on his surroundings.

He wanted to rule out any other people interfering with Nathan’s visit this time.

All the way to the dormitory building where Nathan was, Saul did not find any traces of other people prying.

Nathan’s dormitory was ordinary, he even shared the same small building with another apprentice.

“Aren’t you afraid that your roommate will find out your secret?”

“My roommate often sleeps in the large lecture hall.” Nathan let out a bitter laugh, “And even if he finds out, he’ll just think I bought an imitation. If he does get suspicious, it’ll only be him who’ll be in bad luck.”

“How?”

“The last one just took it with him when he stole from me. Then drowned while drinking beef soup.”

As they spoke, the two came to Nathan’s quarters on the second floor.

The apprentice’s dormitory was actually the equivalent of their private lab, except that they were responsible for the security of the room themselves.

When Nathan opened the witchcraft spell on the door, Saul realized that the spell was a “guard against the gentleman, not the villain”.

Of course, as Nathan said, if a villain came in, he would become a dead villain.

Nathan’s room is very simple, as soon as you enter the door, you can see a wall full of parchment and a long table that surrounds three walls.

The table was cluttered with items, but Saul was still the first to see a white porcelain cat sitting under the windowsill.

The eyes of that white porcelain cat were also red, but compared to the red of the imitation, the eyes of the kitten in front of him were red and more translucent, as if they were inlaid with crystal.

Nathan followed Sol in and immediately closed the door to the room tightly and turned on the soundproofing spell.

He pointed at the white porcelain cat that Saul was gazing at and whispered, “It’s right there. But don’t touch it when you go over there; anyone other than me who touches it will be instantly cursed.”

Saul nodded, facing a “Water God” that could kill a third-ranked sorcerer, he naturally wouldn’t be too reckless.

Saul had just taken a step forward when he suddenly heard Nathan behind him shout, “Mentor, be careful!” Saul had been paying attention to Diary’s reaction.

Could Nathan’s defection be laced with other intentions? Could there be a trap behind the confession?

But there had been no unusual lines in the diary until Nathan had prompted him.

So he had no object of precaution for the time being Saul was not only paying attention to the white porcelain cat in front of him, but also to Nathan behind him.

However, in the next second, his feet were empty and his entire body unexpectedly fell downwards.

Along with the fall, there was also the sound of “gurgling” bubbles suddenly coming out of his ears.

In the blink of an eye, Saul had actually traveled from Nathan’s bedroom to the pitch-black waters where he could not see anything.

Saul opened his mouth, immediately there is water into his throat, fishy, salty and bitter, is seawater!
As if the seawater had an autonomous consciousness it tried to invade his mouth, penetrate his organs, and keep infiltrating into every alveolus.

For a moment, he forgot his identity and subconsciously danced his arms and legs in panic like a normal drowning person.

But the cold, biting seawater didn’t provide him with any buoyancy at all, and seemed to want nothing more than to let him drown in a sea of darkness.

The more Saul struggled, the deeper he sank in this dark sea.

Where he couldn’t see, with the deepest part of the ocean floor, there was a white kitten, staring with red eyes, gazing at the man above him.

Seeing that Saul was sinking a bit slower, the tail behind the kitten lashed out.

A whirlpool immediately swirled in the seawater, pulling Saul to accelerate his descent.

Watching Saul in the water gradually stop struggling, the little white cat frowned tightly and flicked its tail again.

The whirlpool became even bigger.

Saul sank another three or four meters almost in the blink of an eye.

By this time, the distance between the two was less than a hundred meters.

It was also at this time that a voice suddenly appeared in the little white cat’s ears.

“Strange, you don’t seem to be drowning everyone who prays to you for good luck as rumored?”

The little white cat froze for a moment and immediately changed from its original crouching position to standing, tilting its head back to look at the rapidly descending person above its head.

With a twist, Saul, disguised as a corpse, went from back down to face down, only his eyes were still open.

And in such an environment where nothing could be seen, Saul didn’t need to open his eyes.

He dispersed his mental power out, feeling the presence of the small white cat below and the movements it had just made.

The other party even controlled the seawater to make him sink faster after seeing him make a drowning motion.

This move was actually completely unnecessary. However, the other party still accelerated twice, and it was obviously more anxious for Sol to come to it faster.

It was just that the kitten at the bottom of the sea didn’t respond after Saul stopped his disguise.

It was clear that Saul had sensed the other party’s spiritual energy, but the other party did not communicate with him.

But looking at the kitten’s appearance, it must have heard Saul’s words.

Saul looked at the spiritual energy that came back, and after a little thought, he did not rush to let his body continue to sink.

Although it was true that he also had a drowning reaction when he had just entered this pitch-black sea, the spiritual power of a third-ranked sorcerer gently swept over itself, and the out-of-control mouth and nasal passages resumed their normal functions.

At the same time, he also felt a surge of spiritual power passing up from the bottom of the sea.

This spiritual force stirred the seawater and surrounded Saul, bringing him down, but it did not attack or bind Saul the entire time.

Saul suddenly realized that it had been only the seawater that had attacked him and wanted to drown him, not the source of the spiritual power below.

Feeling the mental body under the sea that was getting closer and closer, he couldn’t help but have a new thought.

“Perhaps the power that grants one luck, and the curse that allows one to drown, don’t come from the same object?”
