Chapter 65 – Hello Rely, This is My New Backer
Kong Sha, however, was not satisfied with Saul's truthfulness.
"Really~~" she lengthened her voice as another eye emerged to stare at Sol, "Then why did he come all the way here to collect your corpse? And you seemed pretty sure he'd come over, too?"
Saul's forehead sweats at the eyeball stare, "That's something I explained, Konza-senpai. After the test, my strength will be exposed and it will be difficult for him to secretly target me again. As a last chance to strike, he will most likely show up and confirm my death."
Sol was so stressed out by the stare that he wanted to hide behind Senior Byron.
"Oh?" Red lips hooked up, Kong Sha's smile grew even wider, "Why do I feel that it's because you took what Cid is looking for that he's keeping an eye on you?"
A layer of fine sweat broke out behind Saul's back with a swish.
"It's just a pity that both of you tacitly didn't mention a word about it." Kong Sha reached out her white hand and gently stroked Saul's cheek, "So, are you willing to tell Byron and I?"
However, at this moment, Byron, who was on the side, suddenly reached out and took away Kongsa's hand.
"Byron, what do you mean?" Kongsha immediately freed one eye to look over.
She thought to herself, "If it weren't for the fact that you could definitely tell that the two of them were wrong as well, I wouldn't have interrogated Saul in front of you! Now, you're actually badgering me!"
On the surface, however, Kong Sha was smiling softly, "Aren't you interested in Saul's secret?"
Byron shook his head firmly.
"Hmm!"
Konza stared at Byron, her eyes popping out one by one again.
Byron wasn't the least bit intimidated, looking back at Konza with a dead face.
If it came down to aura, Byron was a bit worse, but Kongsha was the one who stepped back first.
"Since you're not interested, take Cid's body back, I have to heal my little friend."
Byron just shook his head, "Hmm~"
Kongsha raised one hand and dots of ice crystals condensed in her hand.
"Did you forget, who is the most powerful secondary?"
Sol suddenly poked his head out from behind Byron and smiled at Kongsa, "Of course it's you, because Senior Byron is already a Level 3 apprentice."
The cool air that flooded Kong Sha's entire body suddenly stagnated, and the ice crystals in her hand dissipated into bits of starlight.
"You ... "Kong Sha couldn't help but take half a step back, turning to Sol and then to Byron, "Aren't you already thirty years old?"
Byron scratched the back of his head, no need to cut at his throat, it automatically cracked, revealing the sharp teeth underneath, "Just got promoted this month."
Looking at Byron's throat, Kongsha knew that the other party wasn't lying, he had been able to use that human skin of his more freely.
"It's not like your locator can't fuse ..."
Byron raised his hand and pointed at Saul.
"Because of him?" Confessa already felt like she didn't have enough brain matter, "No way!"
Suddenly Konza pursed her lips and didn't ask or say anything more, she parted a few eyes to look at Saul as if she was recognizing the newcomer for the first time.
Obviously a few months ago, there was a face of fear and trepidation begging her to save her life ... Now, one after another, he has completed the transformation of the witch body, climbed up to Byron, and killed Sid!
Seeing that Kong Sha seemed to have faltered, Saul walked out from behind Byron, "Sister, next month, do you still need brains?"
Kongsha was silent for a moment, and suddenly withdrew her lurid aura, her red lips guffawed, "Yes, why not? Moreover, in the future, if there is still this kind of opportunity," she shook the head in her hand, "remember to call me."
After saying that, Kong Sha tidied up her clothes that were a bit messy because of the battle, and her index finger gently hooked open the collar of her coat and popped it open again.
"Little one, you're good at finding a backer."
Saul smiled politely on his face, but in his heart, he thought, "My real backer scares you to death when I say it!"
Kong Sha left with a half complex face.
Byron, on the other hand, turns to Saul with a complicated look on his face.
Saul looked at Byron's obviously eerie, but inexplicably naive face and laughed, "Does Senior want to know why Cid is dealing with me?"
Byron's throat cracked, "Conflicts in this wizard's tower are played out every day, nothing more than resources and power. I've lost my curiosity."
He had spent more than ten years in the corpse room, and he didn't know how many corpses of his acquaintances he had dealt with.
"By the way senior, can you talk without cutting your throat now?"
"I'm at level three now." Byron touched his throat, "I couldn't just talk before because I couldn't harness my skin. But with the remodeling program you provided, I have a new idea."
"Before, I always wanted to merge with it and use it to cover my original self. But I forgot that I was originally independent, and that it could be my weapon, my shield, but only not myself. Probably because I figured that out, I was able to fuse my locator instead and successfully advanced to the third level."
"It actually came in handy? No wonder the senior had to owe me 100 credits. But with your help this time, the credits are considered offset." Saul looked at Cid's headless body on the ground with some flesh pain.
He had used up the disposable sorcery props he had gotten from Cori and Kong Sha, spent a lot of money on the Disguise False Death Potion, and spent a large sum of money to invite Kong Sha and Byron to help him.
Now he was really back to his pre-liberation days, poor and penniless.
However, he had finally gotten rid of this big problem of Sid's heart.
Not only had Sid struck out at Saul several times, leaving him in peace, he also knew of the existence of the Death Wizard's Diary, an enemy that had to be obliterated!
The other party didn't seem to be aware of the diary's true function, but any knowledge of him was a hidden danger to Saul.
There are many secrets that can't be shared with anyone, especially if this secret is a treasure.
The human heart cannot be tested, and it is best just not to test it.
I just don't know if anyone else besides Cid knows about the existence of the Death Wizard's Diary.
"Sol."
As Saul stared at Cid's headless corpse in a daze, Byron suddenly called back his attention.
"You must remember that what you have is more valuable and important than any treasure."
Saul's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Senior Byron knew?
Byron continued in a solemn tone.
"Knowledge and life are the most important things for a wizard."
Sol opened his mouth slightly, as if he had thought poorly.
Senior Byron was teaching him this!
"I see, Elder."
Purposefully juxtaposing life with the knowledge that wizards pursued, was it because without it, all was in vain?
Byron-senpai's opinion was as plain as ever.
Seeing that Sol had seriously thought about his warning, Byron was satisfied.
"Right." Byron suddenly pulled the pamphlet out of his mouth again and continued to record, "As agreed, this strike offsets all credits owed."
But then he scratched twice.
"But you ended up taking care of Cid on your own, so there should be a 20% deduction less, so that leaves ...16 credits."
"No problem!" Saul was not at all polite.
16 credits was equivalent to more than five months of his base salary!
Byron took everything from Cid's corpse, leaving only a stripped corpse for Saul, and said something about the second level apprentice's stuff still being dangerous to Saul.
If he didn't see the glitter in Byron's eyes, Saul really believed this honest man!
When dividing the loot, Saul asked about the elf sculpture, but Byron shook his head repeatedly and warned Saul to stay away from anything related to elves before becoming a full-fledged wizard.
Next, Byron helped Saul check his body and dealt with the others in the corpse room.
The body of the infatuated teenager, Rocky, was not alienated.
Once possessed by a ghost, he was now disfigured.
Saul didn't know what he had been through, why he was possessed by the ghosts and monsters, in short, he was a poor man who had been used.
Byron says that Rocky had a Ghostbuster's boarder secretly placed on him. The ghosts took advantage of Rocky's unsettled mind and mental instability to invade his mental body.
In the end the two found a cracked magic crystal in Rocky's wallet.
That magic crystal was the ghost monster's boarding object, and it was unknown who had put it into Rocky's coat pocket.
Now that the Ghostbusters were destroyed by Saul, the lodgment was naturally destroyed as well.
In fact, this kind of low-grade lodestar was easy to distinguish for a level two apprentice.
It wouldn't cause serious damage to a first level apprentice with a stable mental body and strong spiritual power.
It was entirely because Rocky's state and ability were not good enough that he was easily robbed of his consciousness.
"How pitiful." Saul sighed, then tucked Rocky's wallet into his own bosom.
