Diary of a Dead Wizard

Chapter 994: Climate Anomalies

As soon as he looked up, he saw Kismet idling around at the port.

"I've noticed that every time I come to the port I run into you. Are you following me?"

Kismet sat on the ship's rail, holding his small harp, looking down at Saul with a smile, "You're a fourth-rank wizard now, how could I possibly follow you?"

"So does a fourth-rank wizard spend all day idle, playing the harp at the port?"

"I'm just free during the day, but I'm very busy at night." Kismet pouted, "Playing here is more relaxing than meditation for me."

People came and went above the port, but not a single person paid attention to Saul and Kismet's presence.

They were like projections from outside the world, unaffected by the people of this realm.

Saul silently landed on the airship where Kismet was located. This airship happened to be heading to the city where the ultra-long-distance teleportation array was located.

"The airship doesn't leave its post at night either, so you're waiting here for me to depart?" Saul sat on the ship's rail like Kismet, "Are you following me back to Stat Continent this time too?"

Saul crossed his arms, "Do you still need to create new pages now?"

The other was startled, then smiled somewhat sheepishly, "How could that be? Now the diary belongs completely to you, creating pages should be your task."

"Then what are you busy with?"

"Busy with... revenge, hahaha, just kidding. Of course I'm continuing to improve myself. With the apocalypse approaching, if I don't think of something, I'll probably die under the towering waves of the black tide."

"Don't cause trouble for Master Gorsa and the others." Saul warned him.

Actually, he felt that when Kismet said "just kidding," that was the part that was actually a joke.

"Don't worry, I won't sabotage their experiments. I also very much hope the Stargate Council can research methods to resist the Abyssal Eye—that would benefit me too!"

Although what Kismet said made perfect sense, his grinning appearance always made it feel like there were traps hidden in his words.

The airship began to vibrate, about to take off.

Kismet smiled and waved at Saul, "Goodbye, my little master brother."

After saying this, without waiting for Saul to say anything more, he leaned backward directly, flipping down from the ship's rail in free fall, then transformed into falling leaves in mid-air and disappeared.

A pedestrian below the airship was suddenly showered with leaves. He instinctively reached out to catch them, only grasping some broken leaf fragments.

When he looked up again, there were only blue skies, white clouds, and the massive airship slowly ascending.

"Who's playing pranks?" He grumbled in dissatisfaction, but knowing he couldn't find the culprit, could only brush off the leaves and continue forward with his luggage.

Saul withdrew his gaze. Kismet's figure had disappeared, but his fate lines were still jumping around in front of Saul.

"Do you think Kismet and Douglas have any relationship?"

The autumn wind whistled, but no one answered Saul's question.

...

Saul spent some time and finally returned to the Borderland again.

Keli and Brando, having learned of Saul's return time, had been waiting for him at the Purity Wizard Tower early.

"Are you leaving again after coming back this time?" Keli asked immediately upon meeting him.

"Uh," Saul thought for a moment, "My next departure should be in a year."

Now the half-elf still couldn't control the red worm queen, couldn't control other red worms, and couldn't lay eggs. Even if Saul stayed on Iskaper Continent, it wouldn't be much use.

On the other hand, with Keli's side, after assigning tasks he had barely even asked about progress, except for when he returned last time and Keli explained some experimental developments to him.

But actually, this experiment was also very important.

Before obtaining red worms, Saul had planned to use an army of bone monsters to resist the Abyssal Eye. Although he now had better options, the bone army couldn't be abandoned.

Keli obviously breathed a sigh of relief, "That's wonderful. Wizard Brando and I have improved the combination plan of bone monsters and soul-fixing magic several times, creating three generations of bone monsters. But we don't know which type you're most satisfied with."

After Keli spoke for a while, she noticed Brando hadn't said anything and looked back puzzled, only to see Brando staring at Saul in a daze, his mouth slightly open under his helmet, as if he had seen something incredible.

"What's wrong?" Keli asked puzzledly.

Saul knew what Brando was surprised about. As a third-rank wizard, his sensitivity to fourth-rank wizards was still quite high.

Most importantly, Saul wasn't concealing his strength at all.

Only Keli, still a little second-rank, found both third-rank Saul and fourth-rank Saul to be unfathomably deep existences.

But Keli was very intelligent. After seeing the awe in Brando's eyes, she immediately realized something.

She turned her head, her bronze-colored long hair flowing in the air, "Saul, you, you didn't advance to fourth rank, did you?"

Saul shrugged, "I accidentally advanced."

"You?" Keli had just made one sound when she pressed her lips tightly together, her fair and tender face trembling slightly, her eyes reddening.

Although she had long known that Saul wasn't far from fourth rank and would definitely become another legend in the wizard world.

But, but, how long had it been?

How many years had it been?

How the hell many years had it been?!

"Special circumstances, I had no choice. If I didn't advance quickly, there wouldn't be enough time."

Saul hadn't expected Keli to react so strongly. Others would at most be shocked or disbelieving, but why did Keli look... somewhat aggrieved?

Keli took a deep breath, her chest rising, then slowly relaxed, "I'm fine."

She took out the Chaos Realm Compass, "Do you need to rest? Or should we go see our results now?"

After getting off the airship, Saul hadn't spent any time going through the ultra-long-distance teleportation array and Dwarf Valley, so he wasn't tired at the moment.

"Let's go see them now."

Keli nodded, tugged at Brando to bring him back to his senses, then opened the Chaos Realm Compass, instantly bringing the three of them together into the Chaos Realm.

A gust of fierce wind blew toward them, stirring up a sandstorm thirty meters high.

Just as the group was about to be buried by wind and sand, Saul raised his hand and waved, instantly stopping the fierce wind. The dust drew an arc forward under inertia before slamming hard into the ground.

Forming a small sand pile in front of Saul's feet.

"Does the Chaos Realm have such strong winds?"

"It didn't before." Brando finally came to his senses, carefully answering Saul, but his tone was obviously much more cautious than before, "But starting from half a year ago, the weather changes here have become increasingly severe, and extreme weather has begun appearing frequently."

"Noah's side even secretly came to ask me if we wanted to create some miracles to convert more Chaos Realm residents."

"It's indeed abnormal. This is a sealed continent. Although there are weather changes, without high mountains and great seas around, there shouldn't logically be such dramatic weather changes."

Saul recalled the strong wind from just now.

"Could there be a leak somewhere?"
