Chapter 809: Fear of no road at the end

Chapter 809 – Fear of No Road at the End
As a fourth-ranked sorcerer and the creator of the Wall of Sighs, the white-haired Murphy stepped forward and knocked on the door to the top floor of the Sorcerer’s Tower.

Apprentice Heywood and his sister Heidi, who were in the Sorcerer’s Tower, looked up at the same time.

“Strange, it’s not the time for traveling wizards to make their rounds, why would someone come to the door?”

If it was any other wizard tower, there might still be people stringing doors, but Golza’s wizard tower …… was generally really unoccupied.

“I’ll go take a look.” Heidi, who was like a black shadow, was just about to drill through the wall when she heard a low, slightly husky voice.

“You guys stay here.”

It was Golza’s voice.

At once, Haywood and Heidi all settled in place and answered in a low voice.

Golza walked slowly up the revolving staircase.

He could obviously appear directly outside the Sorcerer’s Tower with an instantaneous movement, but he just had to walk there slowly.

Even if the person waiting for him outside was the only fourth-ranked sorcerer in the far north.

Golza took one step at a time to the top floor of the Sorcerer’s Tower and stood inside the door for a moment.

The person outside the door already knew of his arrival and remained silent, waiting quietly.

It was as if the status of the two men had been switched at this moment.

Finally, Golza opened the door and faced the old man who was honored by the many wizards outside, and smiled slightly, “Sir Murphy, what is the reason for your visit?”

Murphy did not answer immediately, but slowly swept over Golza’s entire body from top to bottom and back again.

This heir of the Glow Family possessed the handsome appearance unique to their family. The long unkempt hair was messy but not without dashing, and his skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing.

But Murphy didn’t care about the other party’s appearance at all when scrutinizing Golza.

He even let out a sigh as he rejoined Gortha’s golden eyes.

“Looks like you’re ready for this.” Murphy looked complex and compassionate, “Have you thought about what happens if you fail?”

Gortha cocked his head as if he had heard a question so simple that it made him laugh.

“Oh, then death.”

Murphy shook his head, both admiring the bravery of the young man in front of him and regretting the other man’s recklessness.

“Death, also divided into many kinds. Some deaths are only in a moment, you can’t even feel the pain, it’s just that for you, the world ends.”

“But there are deaths that will be very long, you may be begging for an end to it all in a dark night with no end in sight, but there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Murphy’s voice was full of sighs, as if he was experiencing it all.

Gortha shook his head slowly, “I’m not afraid to die, or to live.”

“Then what are you afraid of?” Murphy didn’t get angry because Golza retorted several times, instead, he was still in the mood to joke about it, “Say it, let me use it to scare you.”

Golza’s curved eyes blinked.

“I’m afraid there’s no path at the end, and I’m afraid I’ll lose the courage to move forward.”

Murphy’s lips suddenly quivered, and his smile became a little forced, “You …… are really, blocking me in both directions.”

He let out a long sigh, “You’re braver than me. I won’t advise you then. But how long do you need to take that final step?”

Gortha lifted a hand and nodded his chin, “I’m waiting for an opportunity, think it should be soon.”

Murphy smiled and asked, “Will you still be able to help with the next Black Tide outbreak?”

Golza only gave a vague approximation, “Probably can.”

After the conversation, Murphy left alone.

During the time the two men talked through the door, Murphy didn’t ask to come in, and Golza didn’t invite anyone in.

The heart was in the right place. As if they were not of the same world as each other.

……

After escaping from Kori’s lab, Saul saw Hope again waiting for him in the hallway.

After glancing at the time before it was too late, Saul, the incompetent tower master, finally had the time to listen to Hope’s report on the situation of the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower and Rheinland City.

Although Hope’s previous master, Golza, was also not very competent, but people at least stayed in the wizard tower all year round, and Hope could find someone for any urgent matters.

Sol, on the other hand, simply disappeared, returning for a few days at a time, as if the Pure Spirit Sorcerer’s Tower was a hotel-like place to rest his feet.

Hope could tell that Saul still had something urgent to deal with, so she reported the situation in a quick and clear voice.

“…… The current Lord of Rhine City is Luke, a former patient of yours. I observed him for a while and found that his loyalty to you is very high and his mind is flexible, so I let him temporarily take charge of the affairs of Rhine City. If you have another candidate, you can always replace him.”

“No, just him, we’ll talk about it when something goes wrong.” Saul agreed directly with a broad stroke of his pen.

Luke was extremely loyal to him, even the thread of destiny had appeared beside Saul.

Hope nodded in response, and talked about the wizard tower again.

“…… I have recruited some more wizards, mainly First Order wizards, to work with the various experimental subjects currently at the Wizard Tower of the Pure Spirit.”

Nowadays, the Sorcerer Tower was not like when Golza was there, it was a tutor who taught a large number of apprentices.

Instead, it was more like a combination of the Academy of Seeking Knowledge and the Academy of Practice over in Sky City, with one experimental research topic as a group, and one or a few full-fledged wizards leading advanced apprentices in their research. It was not responsible for training new apprentices.

Anyway, there were no weak formal sorcerers who survived in the Lordless Land, and sorcerer apprentices were even more tenacious in life.

Saul still nodded, “Just ask Byron and Kori.”

Saul was now a third-order sorcerer, and the method to advance to the fourth-order was unique, no one could participate in his experiments.

After they were all reported, Hope respectfully saluted and then immediately retired.

Saul, on the other hand, went down the stairs until he came to the second basement level, where the small algae was closed.

Just as he opened the door leading to the second basement level, Saul saw a black shadow rushing towards his face.

Saul’s eyes were quick and he pinched it.

“Oooooooooooooooooooo……”

The small algae shark-like mouth was skillfully pinched by Saul’s upper and lower jaws, and he didn’t dare to force himself to break free, so he could only honestly pretend to be pitiful.

Saul smiled in relief, “Little Algae, you’re awake! How does it feel, is the Black Sea Tree Source good?”

Waiting for Sol to let go, Xiao Zao once again stepped forward and wrapped around Sol’s shoulders twice like a scarf.

“Well~”

“Why does it look a little aggravated?” Saul thought to himself as he continued downward, and then he saw the torso attached behind Koho’s tentacles ……

“Uh ……”

Algae’s original thick trunk was gone, turning into a dense, slender, curved and entangled slender branches that were indistinguishable from each other.

It resembled a seaweed blob even more than its original appearance.

And the volume is not big, Saul two hands can support up. The slightest movement is still trembling.

Saul poked it with his finger, and the tangled seaweed mass moved twice, then shrunk even smaller.

Saul scrutinized it for a while, then frowned and tilted his head to look at the tip of the only small tentacle still sticking out.

“Little algae, honestly, are you …… tangling yourself into a death knot that you can t untangle?”

“Oinking ……”

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Gorsa, pull it out for a walk
