Chapter 86: Little Tail
He cast a cleansing sorcery spell on Thor, which finally helped Thor get out of the mud he was covered in.
"I just noticed you were gone, so I guessed you fell. But you made quite a commotion, I haven't seen anyone make the Soul Eater Swamp so active before."
What could Saul say?
"Haha, I don't know what happened, it was probably an accident."
The florist laughed awkwardly along with him, not pursuing the question and changing the topic.
"Have you chosen a companion flower yet?"
"Oh yes, I've already chosen them."
Despite a small adventure, Saul hadn't forgotten the very vibrant companion flower bud he had his eye on.
The florist was sharp and brought a small square planter and helped Saul transplant the companion flower into it.
The freshly transplanted bud was a bit wilted, and the florist immediately chanted an incantation and cast a sorcery spell to help revitalize the bud.
"Here is a small bag of flower fertilizer." The florist handed Saul a palm-sized bag of flower fertilizer.
Sol took the bag and opened it to look at it.
The flower fertilizer inside was light red rare earth mixed with tiny particles.
Sol recalled that one of the ways he died was by becoming flower fertilizer.
He silently mourned the flower fertilizer in front of him for two seconds and put the bag away.
"Mr. Florist, are you also an apprentice here?"
Saul felt that the job of guarding the garden was quite good, looking easy and being able to leave the dark and sunless wizard's tower for long periods of time.
It was just that the other party looked like he was forty or fifty, could he be a third level apprentice? Isn't it a bit too big for him?
The florist listened and laughed nervously.
"Hehe, alive it is."
Saul shuddered, nearly breaking the flowerpot in his hand.
He silently took two steps back and bowed to the florist.
"Thank you for today, then I'll go back to Mentor Kaz first."
The florist didn't seem to realize what shocking words he had said, and only smiled and nodded, watching Saul leave with quick steps.
He looked at Saul's back and suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Only to see a small, black, slippery, thumb-thin tentacle suddenly sticking out from the back of Sol's neck.
It waved in the air twice and retracted again.
The florist retreated cleanly with a smile on his face.
He opened his mouth as if to call out to Saul, but in the end no sound came out.
The florist walked slowly back to the cabin and sat upright on a small bench in the cabin, looking out over the garden and smiling.
Gradually the sun set in the west, and there was no other sound in the garden than the wind blowing in the grass.
The florist was still sitting straight up, and the moonlight shone on his face ....
There is no such thing as a florist, it's just a mannequin made of straw!
There were stalks of grass stabbing out of his shirt and pants. The eyes were two gray stones, and the nose was a long tree branch.
The whole straw mannequin was waxy and yellow.
The face was painted with an exaggerated smile by whoever used blood colored paint.
The evening breeze blew, the companion flowers nodded and danced, and the garden was filled with the scent of bread.
...
That said, on the other side.
Saul returned to the corpse room with the carefully selected companion flowers.
He decided to keep the flowers here. Although the corpse room didn't have much rotting gas, he thought that it was more in line with the taste of the companion flowers, so they might be able to grow a bit faster.
The flower Saul picked was a bit like a peony, with unusually large buds and goose-yellow petals that shifted to pinkish-white at the tips.
Saul placed it in a corner of the room and mixed some flower fertilizer in slightly.
The flower buds that were a bit spiritless due to the loss of sunlight suddenly stood up again.
Saul found it interesting to watch and teased the bud with his fingers before returning to his own lab bench.
He began to re-study his left hand.
This was a spirit ester that even the diary was looking at, it was definitely something good. If it could absorb other soul fragments, Saul would have one more channel of information about the world. It was just that something like Spirit Ester was too superb, and after studying it for half a day, Saul had no direction.
He could only go and ask his seniors or mentors, or he could go to the library to see if there were any relevant books.
Just poor quality spirit ester could bring so much profit to Saul, if the quality of plastic bone manufacturing spirit ester could be improved, wouldn't Saul's sorcerous body transformation be able to go to another level?
Taking this opportunity to remodel his left hand to enhance his magic power again, if the effect is good ... Saul intends to give his right hand a makeover as well.
"Duh duh duh duh."
A knock on the door interrupted Saul's research.
"Who?" Saul closed his notes.
"It's Hayden."
The senior next door?
The other party hadn't come to actively seek out Saul yet, was there some problem with the corpse disposal?
Saul walked over and carefully opened the door.
Hayden had a somewhat forced smile on his face, "I, I heard that you were the first place winner of the freshman test, congratulations."
Could it be an ordinary favor?
"Thank you, what's the matter senior?" Sol said directly.
"Ah, both are first level apprentices, you don't need to always call me senior. You can just call me Hayden directly."
Sol smiled and didn't reply.
"I meant to ask you, do you have any plans to come and work in the second corpse room?"
"Why do you ask? Is Elder leaving?"
"Not really, I think the second corpse room can come across more good materials, so if you want to come, I can switch with you."
Surprisingly, he really did take the initiative to show his goodwill.
Could it be that a freshman's first place name was so good?
No, it should be more than that.
Saul thought about Anze's invitation, Rum's relatively sincere invitation, with Mentor Katz's move to warn himself against switching mentors by specifically using the name of picking companion flowers ...
I guess it was the mentors' sudden regard that made Hayden want to switch the job of the more rewarding second corpse room to him, right?
Saul was still a little ticked off, and worried that Hayden had other intentions.
But soon, it occurred to him that the spirit ester he was currently researching, the most important material was plastic bone.
And the most important material for plastic bone was skeletons with spirit.
If he was okay in the third corpse room, no one would know what was left of the corpse after it entered the large box, except for the deaf and blind giant man outside the door.
But if Saul switched to the second corpse room, as Saul's downstream post, Hayden could easily guess what materials Saul had taken.
The spirit ester was related to Saul's sorcerous body transformation, and he didn't want to divulge it to anyone else at will.
Figuring this out, Saul smiled politely and shook his head.
"No need Elder, in terms of ability and experience, it's you who is more suitable than me for the work in the second corpse room, I'm fine here."
Hayden didn't expect Sol to refuse, a little surprised, but also quite happy.
After all, in his opinion, the second corpse room still had more oil and water.
The two men exchanged a few more pleasantries before Saul sent Hayden away.
From start to finish, he didn't invite Hayden in either.
Closing the door, Saul re-engaged in his research on the transformation of the witch body.
It was just that if he really wanted to continue remodeling his right hand, he still had to prepare one more material.
Today, Saul finally met a first level apprentice guest. He packed up the guest's brain and headed to Sister Kong Sha's dormitory that night.
This was the first time Saul had taken the initiative and gone to see Kong Sha alone after killing Sid.
It was impossible to say that he wasn't nervous, but Kong Sha was still very useful.
When Kong Sha opened the door and saw Saul, her eyes rolled a few times in the white pulp.
"You came quickly, I thought you would hide and be afraid for a few days afterward."
Kongsa stepped aside and invited Saul inside.
Saul walked to the center of the room and placed the box in his hand on the table and opened it, revealing a round object wrapped in pale yellow leather inside.
A faint stench spread out at once.
