Chapter 211: Spirit Ester 2.0 Plan
Observing Sol's change of expression with interest, Golza knew that the other party must have thought of something.
Ever since he discovered the abnormality of Sol's mental body, he had always been interested in this young apprentice. The few times he had secretly made a move was just to see how far he could go with this strange and excellent talent.
If Sol could eventually grow up, perhaps he might actually be able to help him in the future!
"Since you've already made up your mind, don't leave the second storehouse until you've resolved the out-of-body soul problem."
Sol froze.
Not leaving the second storage room? What about the assignment he received from his mentor?
When he left the tower to go out before, he had also taken a leave of absence and informed the other mentors.
"Tower Master, but I still have a task ..."
"It doesn't matter, the picking can be done by you within the storehouse, I will assign you another assistant who will be in charge of the transportation."
Saul was a bit hesitant, this was a bit inconsistent with his original intention of choosing the second storehouse ah.
To do this job, besides being able to use some of the materials in the storehouse, wasn't the most important thing to increase the chances of interacting with the various mentors?
But on second thought, Saul thought that if he couldn't solve the problem of out-of-body souls well, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do this job in the future.
"I understand, Lord Tower Master. I will complete the new spirit ester transformation as soon as possible." Saul also made up his mind, if he dragged on, he was afraid that more things would go wrong with his body.
"Very well, in fact, this is the reward for you passing Ralph's test." Golza smiled a little, "But accidents always happen, even I can't beware of all of them. I'm glad you came back alive after meeting Kismet. Keep getting stronger, Sol, and don't fail this jinx of yours."
Is it okay to live up to bad luck?
Sol could only nod with a bitter smile.
By the time he raised his eyes again, Golza had already disappeared into thin air with the couch behind him.
It was true that he had left a couch for Saul, as he had said.
Saul relaxed his body, which had been sitting upright, and let himself completely sink into the soft couch, thinking about what he should do next.
"Is it possible that the physical properties of Spirit Ester ... Flesh and Blood ... are too fragile and its enhancement of mental and magical power is too strong, which has led to the increased maladaptation of the remaining portion of my body to the spirit? "
"So what if I ... went harder on myself and remodeled more thoroughly on top of the flesh and blood sorcery?"
Saul was a traveler, so the problem of his spirit-flesh incompatibility would be more obvious than other dark attribute sorcerer apprentices.
And judging from his current frequent out-of-body manifestations of his soul, the danger was also greater.
If this problem couldn't be solved, perhaps one day, this problem would turn into Saul's demise.
And the reason why the diary hadn't hinted at it was because the death-defying calamity was still a long time away from now.
"Finish the secondary spirit ester transformation ... By the way, find out again if the original owner's consciousness is still hidden in the body."
Saul suddenly revealed a smile as his white bone fingertips gently drew circles at the location of his temples.
In the midst of his thoughts, Saul suddenly felt a cool air coming from the back of his head and hurriedly got up to look back.
And behind him, there was nothing else but the corpses standing with their backs to him.
And the closest to Saul were the corpses of the new arrivals, Bill and Herman.
Thinking of Bill, who had completely disappeared, and Herman, who had very little consciousness left, Saul's heart stirred.
"What kind of existence is this group of corpses again. It says they're dead, but there seems to be some residual consciousness left."
Saul recalled the scene where the corpses were once attracted by the candle flame, and even all ran out of the storage room, and couldn't help but wonder if they were really dead.
And did the consciousness of the living exist in their bodies?
If some pre-life consciousness would really remain in a dead person's body, then it would be normal for Saul to still have a bit of the original owner's soul in his body.
Perhaps he could use these corpses to try to extract the residual spirit in them.
And by example, to determine if there were other people's souls in his body.
Walking back to the lab table, Saul pretended to pick up his notes to study, but in actuality, he summoned the Death Wizard Diary.
The diary flew directly to Saul and spread out in front of him, just as Saul had expected.
This time its dark red cover constructed of cardboard slowly flipped open and settled on the first page of the book.
It was an ordinary page of white paper, but on it was written in bright red letters:
Control Death, Control Destiny.
Saul had just read the top when the diary flipped to the next page.
On the second page, it was the golden book page that Saul had just obtained. Looking at the metallic luster, yet soft and delicate paper in front of him, Saul couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
However, to his disappointment, he was still unable to touch the diary.
Not only that, the golden pages did not react to him, unlike the black pages that would actively show up and show their usefulness.
It was as if Saul hadn't really been recognized by the golden pages.
Saul tried other methods, and the golden pages still did not have any reaction.
"It seems that using the Golden Book Page requires specific conditions. It's just that for the time being, it's unclear whether it's an external environmental condition or an internal strength condition."
Probing to no avail, Saul could only put the diary aside for now.
The origin of this golden book page might be related to Kismet, so it was better for him to be cautious.
"Then, it's better to start the Spirit Ester 2.0 transformation program. But first, we need to study the principles of Flesh and Blood Sorcery once more."
Saul took out the blood-colored magic crystal that he had received from his steward, Hunter, and seeped his spirit power into it.
This time he was able to read its contents without the slightest hindrance.
Not only did it contain the entire inheritance of flesh and blood sorcery, it also contained the records of Ralph's research against the death sorcerer's diary.
There were nearly over a hundred thousand words in each scroll, and Saul had to look for useful content from them so as not to be led astray by the mistakes of his predecessors.
After only a few glances, he smacked his lips somewhat sadly, "I don't know how long I'll have to forcefully close the door this time ..."
...
While Saul followed the tower master's orders and hid in the warehouse to solve his body's problems first, a new horrible rumor slowly spread among the servants and stewards.
George, who had already made a name for himself among the manservants, was dragging his younger brother, David, carefully down the 6th floor of the West Tower, one of the areas inhabited by the first level apprentices, and the floor where Saul's former dormitory was located.
Servants lived on floors 2 to 4 of the West Tower, butlers were centralized on floor 5 of the West Tower, first level apprentices lived on floors 6 to 10 of the West Tower, and second level apprentices were on floors 11 to 13.
According to the rules of the Sorcerer's Tower for servants, it was forbidden for him to rashly come to the floor where the first level apprentices were, and if someone pursued the matter, he could even be made to shed a layer of skin.
But George had no way out, except for Saul, he didn't know who else could help him, who else was willing to step in and help him!
George has regretted countless times, why did he have to beat his face in the family letter, so much so that his family really thought that he had a high status among the servants of the wizard tower, and sent his younger brother, who was only nine years old, in as well.
Even the younger brother when he came in, also naively held the ridiculous idea of doing two years of work and perhaps also becoming a sorcerer's apprentice.
Now, not even a month into the job, the younger brother is going to be involved in an unusual terrorist incident.
Not long ago, there were two disappearances among the servants.
Unlike the previous unusual deaths, this time there was no place of death, no cause of death, and if it wasn't for the butler's regular head counts, they wouldn't have realized that anyone had gone missing.
And two days after the first one went missing, another servant went missing.
In the past, when there were unusual deaths, the Sorcerer's Tower would send out apprentices of appropriate strength to deal with them.
But this time, they couldn't even find out if the person was dead, escaped, or was devoured by something, so much so that not many apprentices were interested in it.
The fact that no one took the mission meant that the disappearances would most likely continue.
And tonight, David came to George out of the blue and said he'd been given the job of clearing the corridors of the second level apprentices for the night.
George's memory went back two years at once.
He remembered that there was a period of time back then when a lot of servants suddenly died, and the newcomers entering couldn't catch up with the rate of deaths, resulting in a severe shortage of manpower.
It seemed that it wasn't until Saul became an apprentice sorcerer that the rate of rising deaths among the servants slowly dropped.
A long period of calm was ushered in.
But even then, there were only five of them left by now, the boys who had been in the same bunk as Saul.
Memories of those days came flooding back, and George was terrified that the two disappearances were only the beginning, he feared.
