However, Marsh couldn't determine what rank of wizards they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to observe their abilities more closely before secretly reporting to Saul later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marsh instinctively turned back and was so startled he nearly jumped out of the mushroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What patted his shoulder was a dehydrated, withered dark gray arm. The end of the arm was still outside the mushroom, so Marsh couldn't see the arm's owner clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could think of struggling free from the arm, he felt a tremendous force on his body, forcibly yanking Marsh entirely out of the mushroom's interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also let him see clearly what the person grabbing him looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner of the withered arm was a mummy, grayish-brown throughout, wearing a loose, tattered wizard robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were two large black holes with tiny silver lights inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cheeks were sunken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mouth, already lipless, contained a few crooked, charred yellow teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this appearance, the other party should originally have been a necromantic corpse for commanding. But for some reason, Marsh sensed strong vitality from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinct told Marsh that the being before him was a living wizard, just one who looked rather strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pulling Marsh out, this mummy wizard didn't hurt him, but simply carried Marsh by his collar to the red-bearded and blue-haired pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you from the Purity Wizard Tower?\" The three seemed to be led by the red-beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marsh didn't know how to respond for a moment, and the other party didn't wait for his answer, letting the mummy wizard continue carrying him toward Rhine Lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Saul inside the wizard tower finally noticed the commotion outside and slowly walked out from the tower's arched entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze slowly swept over the three foreign wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three wizards were all second-rank wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should be known that second-rank wizards weren't numerous in the Borderland. Moreover, judging from the magical power fluctuations these three were emanating, they were strong among second-rank wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three opposing wizards stepped onto Rhine Lake's magic-prohibited area and quickly discovered the anomaly, but none showed panic. They only looked down at their feet in surprise a few times before continuing to walk on the ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul also didn't take the opportunity to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before understanding the three's purpose for coming here, he didn't want to easily provoke three second-rank wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello.\" Seeing the three had approached, Saul actively called out loudly, \"May I ask what business brings you three to the Purity Wizard Tower?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading red-beard unceremoniously looked Saul up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Saul's subtle observation, red-beard's gaze was quite domineering. He looked at Saul more like looking at a tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're the Purity Wizard Tower's tower master?\" Red-beard's voice was also forceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul felt several burning gazes fall on him. The other two wizards opposite also seemed unrestrained, blatantly scrutinizing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So domineering and forceful. Could they be Firefly Lord Herbert's people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul was displeased inwardly but showed no emotion on his face. \"That's me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red-beard scrutinized Saul for a while. Seeing that the other's aura wasn't suppressed by him at all, he became somewhat interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twitched, and the corner of his mouth, hidden by his full beard, slightly turned up. \"We're from the Tribunal, carrying a tribunal decree to explore a dangerous place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the words \"Tribunal,\" Saul's pupils slightly contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected to encounter Tribunal wizards here, who claimed they wouldn't interfere in the Borderland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Black Sea Tree Source owner Justin had fled into the Borderland because the Tribunal wouldn't enter here to implement verdicts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unexpectedly, one day they would actively break their own promise and enter the Borderland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be for Old Days Manor, for the Storm Eye?\" Saul's eyes turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt the influence of the Storm Eye and Black Tide pollution might be more serious than he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, red-beard continued: \"Not far from here, there's a manor severely polluted. Even second-rank wizards entering face certain dangers. We'd like to request you, a wizard skilled at clearing pollution, to go in together. Afterward, we'll pay you appropriate compensation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether compensation was appropriate shouldn't be negotiated and decided beforehand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul blandly refused: \"Sorry, I just entered second-rank and my strength is still unstable. I currently cannot treat or clear pollution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red-beard was as tough as he appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't want to go? That won't do. You're so close to Old Days Manor here. The original rules of Old Days Manor suddenly changed. As far as I know, the rules here also once changed. Now I suspect Old Days Manor's mutation is related to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was sharp as a blade. \"If you don't accompany us, then I'll have to implement a verdict against you for the crime of disrupting the Borderland's stable environment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul indeed feared the Tribunal. The power of Soul Blade's original owner Jasim was still vivid in memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this didn't mean he would be easily intimidated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He curled his mouth corner and sneered: \"What, are Tribunal decrees such frivolous things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon these words, the red-beard opposite Saul showed no reaction, but the blue-haired man behind him immediately narrowed his eyes, and a layer of mist rose from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But red-beard raised his hand, stopping the other from acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red-beard was indeed the leader among the three. Blue-hair immediately drew back the mist that had already overflowed from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tribunal decrees are naturally not frivolous. But your attitude and behavior will influence the content of our reports to the Tribunal. I think you wouldn't want to know what it's like to be on a tribunal decree. Better honestly come with us for a trip. If you have no problems, as the team's medic, we'll prioritize protecting your safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul pondered for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three opposing wizards quietly waited for his answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The blue-hair just released what should be some kind of poison mist—a wizard who majors in poison attributes. And this red-beard wizard is full of sharp energy, seems to major in metal-attribute magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly glanced at the wizard behind them who looked like a mummy, carrying Marsh by his collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other had remained silent, just quietly watching Saul, but the pressure he gave Saul was no less than the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Saul couldn't sense the characteristics of the other's magical power. He could only judge from the other's appearance that the mummy wizard should major in dark-attribute magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul pretended difficulty, deliberated long, and finally nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. I can go to Old Days Manor with you. But I need to go back and prepare some things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1275,"2026-06-05T22:22:28.368Z",1,"novelbin.me","a9d93ab3ec2eed7aea022aef822c0485c72843c4ed19b1e5f2485cd1c3fc8d26","diary-of-a-dead-wizard-chapter-615","diary-of-a-dead-wizard-chapter-613",1037,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdiary-of-a-dead-wizard-cover.jpg"]
