Chapter 453 Silver Pocket Watch
After coming out of Sander's rented place, the carriage drove slowly on the streets of Blue Water City.
Saul was thinking 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 third-level apprentice for decades, it is normal to want to find a safe and quiet place to retire.
As an ordinary person, Sander never imagined that a wizard apprentice could predict the arrival of the soul tide at a certain time in advance.
Can a second-level apprentice really predict tidal changes one or two days in advance?
Thor gently shook the page of recording paper Xander gave him.
It was a string of numbers that Sander wrote down based on his own memory.
Before Sol came, he only dared to keep this information in his mind and did not dare to write it down at all.
From this point of view, Sander's memory is quite good.
It's a pity that Sander is already in his thirties, otherwise he could really test whether he can become a wizard's apprentice.
There are already too many guys around Sol, so he will naturally not accept disciples. Teacher Kaz is probably not in the mood to accept new apprentices at this time.
However, there are also some other wizarding forces nearby, the largest being Baidong College in Archaeological City.
But since Sander is already in his thirties and approaching 40, all that is just regrettable imagination.
In addition to the paper, Sander also gave Saul a family heirloom, said to have been left to him by his grandfather before his death.
At that time, his stepmother had not yet married into their family, so only he and his younger sister Miduoer could receive gifts from their grandfather, and the gift Miduoer received was the golden hairpin.
What Xander got was a rusty silver pocket watch.
The outer shell of the pocket watch was rusty, and the hands inside were moving randomly. Even though his grandfather told Sander that it was something passed down from his family, Sander still had no way of using it and just kept it close to his body as a thought.
But since Mido's hairpin has such a mysterious ability, maybe this pocket watch is not simple either.
The rusty silver pocket watch is also a representative of Sander's identity. Sander doesn't dare to take it out and use it outside, and he can't find the special power in it. He might as well give it to Thor as the only thing he can give that may be valuable. remuneration.
The reward he originally prepared for Sol was not this pocket watch.
But after Thor brought Mido'er over, he no longer knew how else to repay this kind-hearted wizard.
Thor had already written down the contents on the paper, and a string of flames burst out from his palm, burning the white paper into ashes.
Then he looked at the rusty silver pocket watch.
Midore's ability to issue cards did interest him, but it was already the last support for the poor girl's soul, and Thor did not snatch it away.
On the contrary, the Nightmare Butterfly has been motivating Thor in his mind to kill Sander and take away the pocket watch and hairpin so that no one will know that the pocket watch is with Thor.
This kind of behavior is indeed in line with Nightmare Butterfly's usual way of life, but it was rejected by Thor.
Thor shook off the dust on his hands and opened the rusty silver pocket watch that Sander gave him again.
Agu sat opposite and looked over with interest.
"The pattern on Master's pocket watch is very special. I suspect it is not from the New Moon Year."
As a soul that once wandered in the library, Agu read a lot of books and suffered a lot of injuries. Despite this, he persisted in absorbing new knowledge and looking for opportunities to escape from the Wizard's Tower.
"If it is not an item dating from the New Moon, wouldn't it be at least more than three hundred years old?"
If this is the case, the rust on the pocket watch is very small, and it has been well preserved.
"What year was before the lunar calendar?" This is Saul's knowledge blind spot.
In the past, in order to survive and advance, the knowledge he learned was focused on practicality. He actually didn't know much about history, geography and other knowledge.
"Before the New Moon Annals, there was the Dark Moon Annals. There are very few records in the book. They just said that wizards often fought with each other at that time, but did not specify the reasons. At that time, there were generally only two or three empires in a continent. Unlike now, there are so many empires. It's rare. Most of them are kingdoms with limited area and power, or even smaller principalities." Agu smiled, "Actually, the Principality of Kema is already considered to have a relatively large territory among many principalities. There is a large area in the southwest of the Stat continent. A piece of land not much larger than the territory of the Principality of Bikma, there are a total of seven small principalities there." "
This is normal." As a well-informed traveler, Thor was not surprised.
Thor scanned the rusty pocket watch with his mental power and found no magic fluctuations on it.
He kept opening the pocket watch, even opening the back cover and removing the chain, but still found nothing that matched the ability of a witchcraft prop.
I just think the pattern on it is rather special.
The hands of this pocket watch were indeed moving randomly. A second ago, Saul was looking at the time on it as 3:15 pm, but after flipping around, it read 9:22 am.
Sol continued to observe the trend of the hands and the speed of time change, but could not find any pattern. Of course, it was possible that he had not found it yet.
"It's interesting to hide it so perfectly." Thor put away his pocket watch, "Let's study it together later."
As a wizard who carries 6 consciousness bodies and 2 pets with him, Thor is not worried about not having enough research assistants. Worried that the supplies they have cannot keep up with the rate of consumption.
He had thought about it. If he really wanted to go to Borderlands to build his own wizard tower, he would have to be prepared for the dangerous situation there.
At the same time, after successfully building the tower, he will also establish his own project. He will no longer do research for others, but focus on his own knowledge, abilities, and talents.
As for the topic, the most important one is definitely the research diary. And his own soul that is not afraid of other people's physical repulsion is also worth studying.
The carriage continued to drive through Blue Water City, but it was not looking for a place to stay.
Thor did not intend to stay in Blue Water City, so he gave the order to the coachman Marsh to leave directly for the airship station - the wool left by the teacher Gorsa would not be in vain.
Even if he suspected that the owner of the broken wine glass might be the Karon wizard, there was no need to actually confirm it.
After all, the other party's goal may just be Master Gorsa's resurrection experiment.
In fact, their plan has been successful. Mrs. Youla was not resurrected, and the mentor also left the western part of the continent.
Thor now plans to go to the Borderlands, but before that happens, he must prepare.
Including but not limited to continuing to improve yourself and understand the situation in Borderlands.
It's impossible to just rush in without knowing.
Even with the reminder from the Death Wizard's diary, there are still some dangers that cannot be avoided even if they are predicted.
Thor's current plan is to go to Archaeological City, which is rumored to be very wealthy and prosperous.
The urban culture there is very special. The wizards put down their personal skills and created many witchcraft props to facilitate people's livelihood. The social system is also different from that of the principality. In particular, they will also sell some witchcraft props that Thor has been interested in for a long time.
Is this special urban culture the real reason why Baidong College took root and rose rapidly after emerging from the Borderlands?
At this moment, the carriage slowed down and stopped slowly.
Sol and Agu looked outside at the same time.
On the street outside, two or three pedestrians on the street also stopped and stared at the direction of Sol's carriage.
Just now, a man dressed as a servant suddenly stopped the carriage.
The servant who has been running rampant in Blue Water City for many years did not expect that the other party did not stop the car urgently after seeing someone blocking the car, but slowly slowed down.
When the carriage came to a complete stop, the tall horse pulling the carriage lifted its lips and sprayed spittle in his face.
Marsh thought, how could he get to Lord Saul for a roadblock?
"What's up?"
Only then did the servant realize that his behavior in hastily blocking the car had made the other party dissatisfied.
He was so frightened that he quickly took two steps back and fell to the ground.
"Please tell the wizard in the carriage that Lord McCann of Blue Water City and Wizard Caron have prepared a sumptuous dinner and a comfortable residence to invite you to come." Marsh curled his lips, this attitude was not bad
.
He turned back to the crack in the door and whispered again.
"That Charon wizard actually invited me? Is it a trap?" Thor looked at the diary in his mind.
The diary floated quietly, turning over lazily.
