Chapter 17: The Silver Pocket Watch

After exiting Sander's rented place, the carriage drove slowly through the streets of Bluewater.

Thor thought in the car.

In fact, Sander said that the wizard named Caron was suspicious, and the evidence was not very strong.

Because for a second-level apprentice who has not been promoted to a third-level apprentice for dozens of years, it is normal to want to find a safe and quiet place to retire.

As an ordinary person, Sander couldn't have imagined that the wizard apprentice could also predict the arrival of the soul tide a certain amount of time in advance.

Just a second-level apprentice, can you really predict the tide changes a day or two in advance?

Thor gently shook a sheet of paper that Sander had given him.

It was a string of numbers that Sander had written down from his memory.

Before Saul came, he only dared to memorize this information in his head, and did not dare to write it down at all.

In this way, Sander's memory is quite good.

It's a pity that Sander is already in his thirties, otherwise he can really test whether he can become a wizard apprentice.

There are already too many guys around Thor to take him in, so naturally he won't take in apprentices. Tutor Kaz is probably not in the mood to accept new apprentices at this time.

However, there are a few other wizarding forces in the vicinity, the biggest being the Baidong Academy in the archaeological city.

But now that Sander's thirties are approaching his 40s, it's all just a regretful imagination.

In addition to this piece of paper, Sander also gave Saul a family heirloom, which is said to have been left to him by his grandfather before he died.

At that time, his stepmother had not yet married into their family, and the only people who could receive gifts from his grandfather were him and his sister Midor, and Midor's gift was the golden hairpin.

What Sander got was a rusty silver pocket watch.

The sleeve watch case was rusty, and the hands inside were wandering around, and even though his grandfather told him that it was something that had been passed down from their family, Sander still had no way to use it, just kept it close to his body as a thought.

But since Midor's hairpin has such a mysterious ability, then maybe this pocket watch is not simple.

The rusty silver pocket watch is also a representative of Sander's identity, and Sand doesn't dare to use it outside, nor can he find the special power in it, so he might as well give it to Thor as the only possible valuable reward he can give.

The reward he had prepared for Thor was not this pocket watch.

But after Thor brought Midore over, he didn't know what else to do to repay the good wizard.

Thor had already jotted down the contents of the paper, and a string of flames erupted from his palm, burning the white paper to ashes.

Then he looked at the rusty silver pocket watch.

Midol's ability to issue cards did interest him, but it was already the last support for the poor girl's soul, and Thor didn't snatch it.

Nightmare Butterfly had been pouting Thor, killing Tander, snatching the watch and hairpin so that no one knew that the watch was with Thor.

This behavior is indeed in line with Nightmare Butterfly's usual way of dealing with the world, but Thor refuses.

Thor shook the dust off his hands and opened the rusty silver pocket watch that Sander had given him again.

Agu sat across from him and looked over with some interest.

"The pattern on this pocket watch is very special, and I suspect it is not from the New Year."

As a soul who used to wander in the library, Agu read a lot of books, and suffered a lot of injuries as a result. Despite this, he also insists on absorbing new knowledge and looking for a chance to escape the Wizard's Tower.

"If it's not an item from the New Year's Age, isn't it at least three hundred years old?"

If this is the case, the rust on the pocket watch is pitifully small and has been well preserved.

"What year was before the New Year's calendar?" This is Saul's knowledge blind spot.

In the past, in order to survive and be promoted, the knowledge he learned focused on the practical present, and he didn't know much about history, geography and other knowledge.

"The New Moons are preceded by the Dark Moons. There is also very little record in the book, except that there were frequent wars between wizards at that time, but the reason is not stated. At that time, there were generally only two or three empires on a continent. Unlike empires, which are rare now, most are kingdoms with limited size and power, or even smaller principalities. Agu smiled, "Actually, the Principality of Kema is already considered to have a relatively large territorial area among many principalities. To the southwest of the continent of State, there is a land not much larger than the territory of the Duchy of Kema, where there are seven minor duchies. โ€

"That's normal." As a well-informed traveler, Thor was not surprised.

Thor swept through the rusty pocket watch with his mental power, and did not find any magic fluctuations on it.

He kept opening his pocket watch, even uncovering the back cover, removing the chain, and still found nothing that matched the power of the witchcraft prop.

I just think the pattern on it is more special.

And the hands of this pocket watch are indeed walking indiscriminately, the first second Thor looked at the time on it was 3:15 p.m., and turned around, and then came back to 9:22 a.m.

Thor continued to observe the movement of the watch hand and the speed of the change of time, but did not find a pattern, and of course it may not be found for the time being.

"It's kind of funny that it's so perfectly hidden." Thor put away his pocket watch, "Let's study it together later." โ€

As a wizard with 6 consciousness bodies and 2 pets with him, Thor is not worried about his lack of research assistants, only that the materials he has cannot keep up with the speed at which they are consumed.

He thought about it, if he really wanted to go to the Borderlands and build his own wizard tower, he would have to be prepared for the dangers there.

At the same time, after successfully building the tower, he also had to establish his own project, no longer doing research for others, but focusing on his own knowledge, ability, and talent.

As for the subject, the most important thing is definitely the research diary. And his own soul, which is not afraid of the repulsion of other people's bodies, is also worth studying.

The carriage continued on in Bluewater, but not in search of shelter.

Thor didn't plan to stay in Bluewater, so he ordered Marsh the coachman to leave for the airship platform - the wool left behind by Gorsa's mentor was not white.

Even if he suspected that the owner of the broken glass might be the Wizard Caron, there was no need to actually confirm it.

After all, the other party's goal may just be Gorsa's mentor's resurrection experiment.

And in fact, their plan has also been successful. Lady Yola was not resurrected, and the Mentor left the western part of the continent.

Thor now plans to go to the Borderlands, but before he can do so, he must be ready.

This includes, but is not limited to, continuing to improve yourself and understanding the situation in the Borderlands.

It's impossible to break in without knowing it.

Even with the reminder of the Death Wizard's Diary, there are dangers that cannot be avoided even if they are foreseen.

Saul's current plan is to go to the rumored very wealthy and prosperous archaeological city of Ster.

The culture of the city there is very special, and the wizards put down their bodies and make a lot of witchcraft props that are convenient for people's livelihood. And the social system is also different from that of the principality. In particular, it will also sell some witchcraft items that Thor has been interested in for a long time.

Such a special urban culture is the real reason why Baidong College took root and rose rapidly after coming out of the borderland, right?

At this moment, the carriage slowed down and came to a slow stop.

Thor and Agu looked out at the same time.

And on the street outside, two or three pedestrians on the street also stopped to watch in the direction of Thor's carriage.

A man dressed as a servant had just stopped the carriage suddenly.

And the servant who had been rampant in Bluewater City for many years did not expect that the other party did not make an emergency stop after seeing someone stop the car, but slowed down slowly.

When the cart came to a complete stop, the tall horse pulling the cart lifted its lips and sprayed the spit in his face.

Marsh thought to himself, how could he have dangled to Lord Thor for a roadblocker?

"What's the matter?"

Only then did the servant realize that he had just stopped the car in a hurry, which made the other party dissatisfied.

He was so frightened that he hurriedly took two steps back and lay on the ground.

"Please tell the wizard in the carriage, the Lord of Bluewater McCann, and the Wizard of Caron have prepared a sumptuous dinner and a comfortable place to stay, and invite your lord to come."

Marsh pouted, this attitude was pretty much the same.

He turned back to the crack in the door and whispered a repeat.

"That Karon wizard actually took the initiative to invite me? Could it be a trap? Thor looked at the journal in his mind.

The diary floated quietly, lazily flipping through it.

Readers, ask for some tickets! @ยท@
