Chapter 208: Nonsense Again, Kill You
"I only know him as Victor, but that doesn't seem to be his real name. He has been lurking in the Bloodthorn family's Ralph Manor for a long time. Lured many people inside the castle to be eaten by the alienated Ralph. I'm not sure of the exact reason why he did that though." Saul said "truthfully".
After thinking about it, he then told Kira about Victor's most frightening ability.
"Victor may not be as strong as you in combat, but he seems to be able to blur people's consciousness and memories. When I just entered Ralph Manor, I somehow thought of him as my brother. It took a long time before I reacted that I was trapped."
Just as he finished speaking, Saul saw Kira, who had been standing dashingly with his back to himself, turn back in surprise.
Of course, Kira immediately collected the surprised expression on her face after meeting Saul's line of sight.
"Ahem ... although he hid his strength and suppressed his magic power, but after all, he is also a second-ranked sorcerer, and you were able to break free from his control ... are you a student of Golza?"
How could this be said? Saul hadn't been formally recognized by the tower master after all, so he switched to a more euphemistic way of saying it.
"Lord Tower Master has indeed taught me a lot."
And the straightforward Kira directly assumed that she had guessed correctly.
"He wouldn't even bother with other people's apprentices, you must be his student. Counting up, you are already the fifth one, but hopefully you will end up a bit stronger than the others."
Kira began to look squarely at Sol, "You look skinny and small, how old are you?"
"Uh, fourteen."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk ...," Kira said in disgust, "So small, how much time does Golza want to spend raising a test subject this time?"
Test subject?
Saul "startled" hastily asked, "Kira-sama, what do you mean by test subjects ...?"
Kira, however, did not feel nervous about speaking out of turn and waved his hand indifferently.
"There's no need to be nervous, formal wizards cultivating a group of newcomers aren't really trying to spread knowledge. They aren't that selfless. Either they want to cultivate assistants or materials. As for which the apprentices will end up being, it depends on their own abilities and in which area they can help the sorcerer."
Kira seemed to be used to this sort of thing as well, and didn't think how terrified she'd be if her words were heard by an ordinary apprentice.
"Lord Kira," Sol said tentatively, "I know that the Tower Master is conducting a complex experiment. I wonder if I can help the Tower Master."
"It is certainly impossible for you now. Even the three apprentices before Golza I don't see much hope. But your spiritual power is indeed ... quite outstanding. Maybe you can help him when you are promoted to full wizard."
Kira revealed a moment of despondency, "It's been waiting for so many years anyway, maybe he can succeed."
It seemed that Kira knew what Golza was doing.
Could it be that the tower master was really trying to resurrect Lady Yura?
He usually seemed gentle but really didn't seem like an infatuated person.
"Lord Kira, do you ... know about Mrs. Yura?"
Kira turned away, and Sol couldn't see her expression.
"Ah, of course I know. My cousin, your Lady Tower Master. That's the one who gets so stubborn that you want to kill her."
Perhaps the mention of Yura had made Kira a little sad or upset, and for the rest of the trip, she didn't speak again, nor did she give Saul a chance to continue his questions.
The cold and hard aura of Kira's body made Saul have to shut up for the time being.
After all, if he annoyed the other party, it would be the end of throwing him off the giant bird!
The two of them rode the giant bird for just an hour before they arrived at their destination.
The plain and lonely figure of the Wizard Tower appeared right in front of Sol's eyes.
It made him sigh that flying mounts were really a good means of transportation!
Saul has already begun to think in his heart, when he is strong, he can also get a big bird that can fly to use as a substitute ... or show off.
Approaching the wizard tower, Kira commanded the giant bird to descend.
As one of only a few second-order sorcerers in the western continent, Kira's visit to the Sorcerer's Tower naturally did not require him to enter from the two entrances on the ground like the apprentices.
She directly led Sol to land at the top of the Sorcerer's Tower.
Only when the giant bird stepped on the crossbar at the top of the Sorcerer's Tower did Golza come out from within the small door at the top of the tower.
Saul hastily disengaged his Sticky Spell and jumped off the giant bird's back. "Tower Master." He walked over and bowed respectfully to Golza.
Golza, who was clad in a brownish-red cloak, nodded and gestured for Sol to stand behind him.
Sol hurried over.
And it was only then that Kira jumped off the giant bird.
"The place where the soul storm just happened is obviously closer to your wizard tower, how come you haven't shown up even though I've arrived?"
Kira slightly raised her chin and suddenly smiled, "You're not really going to mutate, are you?"
Golza's face was hidden under his hood, and Sol couldn't see his expression.
He only heard him say slowly in a gentle voice, "Any more nonsense and kill you."
Kira's provocative look stalled, and without dwelling on Golza's physical condition, he turned to point at Saul and said, "A strange second-ranked sorcerer has appeared in your territory, and you don't even care? I even made it a point to save your good student."
Saul: "?"
"Thanks." Gortha nods slightly, "You may return."
Kira: "?"
"I'll take care of the rest." Gortha's voice remained flat, as if he didn't realize how exasperating his words were.
Kira was outright cranky.
"I purposely sent him here instead of leaving him where he was, just to wait for you to say thank you?"
Instead, Gortha said, "Did you fight the other guy?"
Kira was stunned.
"And what are you not satisfied with?" Golza's voice took on some amusement, "Are you starting to get interested in other people's machinations?"
Kira rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, but surprisingly, he actually jumped back behind the giant bird.
"I'm not interested, but I'm not a fool either. If someone plots against Khema's territory, I'll definitely cut him to pieces." Kira waved her fist at Golza.
Golza nodded cooperatively, "I'll let you know when the enemy appears."
Kira nodded in satisfaction.
Before leaving, she glanced at Sol again.
"I hope your new apprentice behaves better than those losers before. Of course, if you ever plan to give up, just let me know and I'll come and pick Yura up."
Golza was silent.
Kira looked at Golza, feeling a little wimpy about leaving just like that, and clenched her fists and added, "Or when I surpass you, I'll take her away too!"
After delivering his harsh words, Kira didn't wait for Golza to react, so he hurriedly set up the giant bird and left.
Seeing Kira disappear into the sky, only then did Golza turn around and look at Sol, sweeping his eyes up and down twice and said, "The difference between the soul and the physical body has become greater, the compatibility has decreased, and your problem has gotten worse. Haven't thought of a solution yet?"
"There are thoughts." Saul slightly lowered his head, he was actually still thinking about the "alienation" that Kira had just mentioned.
In the wizard world, the word "alienation" was very close to pollution.
"Could it be that something is really wrong with the tower master's body?"
Golza could see that Saul was a bit uneasy and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Let's go back and talk. You seem to have met dangerous elements on this outing that I didn't expect."
If nothing else ...
