Chapter 17: It’s not easy for anyone

Chapter 17 No One is Easy

Kongsha is not a kind person, and everything she does for Saul is something that Saul needs to pay for.

Kong Sha let out a light laugh, “What are you afraid of? Didn’t you drink the medicine in pain last time?”

Last time, Saul was still just a servant, powerless in the face of the threat of death.

And this time, there were still three months before the first test.

For the method of becoming stronger, Saul was not entirely clueless now, and naturally did not want to hitch his future to a bottle of potion with unknown side effects.

“There is no problem with taking this potion for a short period of time, but if you take it for a long period of time, it will overdraw your potential and consume your life force. When it’s all consumed, you’ll naturally die.”

Kong Sha’s tone turned, “But if you fight for it and work harder, you might be able to become a Level 2 Apprentice before your potential is depleted. At that time, you can not have to forcefully raise your magic power, and instead use sorcery research to gain achievements, and you can also pass the test every six months.”

After she finished speaking, she lifted the small pill bottle and shook it, the transparent liquid undulating seductively.

“Overdraft potential.” Saul stared at the vial of potion and let out a low sigh, “If I really take it for a long period of time, is it no longer possible for me to become a full-fledged wizard?”

“Ha!” Kong Sha was practically dying of laughter at what she heard, “You may not be thinking too beautifully! Even I am not sure that I can definitely be promoted to a full-fledged sorcerer.”

Although this sentence was not explicitly stated, it also basically affirmed Saul’s words.

“I’m sorry, School Sister Kong Sha, I can’t take this medicine.” Saul lowered his head, but his voice was firm.

Kong Sha’s smile disappeared as she stood up and looked at the top of Sol’s head.

Inside the glass cover on half of the head, five or six eyes emerged densely, clinging to the glass and staring viciously at Saul.

Although he did not look up, Saul could still feel the endless pressure and fear.

After Saul’s face paled and his body began to tremble, Kong Sha lightly laughed and retracted the eyeballs.

“You think three months is a long time? Since you don’t want to, I won’t force you. However, when you regret coming to beg me, you’ll need to do more than that.”

After saying that, Kong Sha enchantingly walked around Saul and walked out of the dormitory.

Only after a long time did Saul look back at the closed door and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

The cold sweat was dripping, and when stroked by his hand, it gathered into beads of water and slid down along the corners of his eyes.

As terrifying as it was, Saul had to refuse Konza’s potion.

For one thing, he couldn’t allow himself to become Konza’s puppet, betting his life on the other party’s kindness.

Secondly, as a traveler and with a hardback book added to his body, there was no way he could be satisfied with the future of a second level sorcerer apprentice.

The door to wizardry had already opened a small crack to him, and just a glimpse of it was enough to make Saul’s heart race.

“Could it be that I was born lucky E. Why do I always meet all kinds of dangers? Surviving in this world is too tough too!”

There was Cid in the front, Kongsa in the back, and that Mark in the middle had an unknown attitude.

There was Kaz at the top, Brown at the bottom, and there was Duke secretly harboring bad water by his side.

Are there no good people in this wizard’s tower?

Couldn’t he live the life of an ordinary apprentice, learning honestly and not encountering an enemy with every step he took?
Because of the shock he had just received, Saul’s hands and feet were still a bit sore and weak now, he barely moved two steps and then allowed himself to fall onto the bed.

“Having rejected Kong Sha, I can only figure out how to get stronger on my own for the time being.”

Saul covered his eyes with his left hand, the cold, hard white bones stinging his eyelids.

“Shit, big deal, I’ll go out and not be a human being! There’s still class tomorrow …… sleep!”

With half a night’s sleep coupled with intermittent nightmares, Saul wasn’t resting well at all.

But he still got up early in the morning, and with two dark circles under his eyes, he found George who was working on the fourth floor before class.

George was very excited to see Saul coming over, he was going to be doing the early morning cleaning of the corridors tomorrow, although it wasn’t a certainty that things would come up and it was probably better not to go naturally than not to go at all.

As long as Saul valued him, the other manservants wouldn’t dare send him dangerous work.

“My lord, are you here to take me as your exclusive servant?” George’s eyes were glowing.

“Not yet.”

George was still a child and immediately showed a disappointed expression, but he quickly pulled himself together, “I know, my lord, George will always look forward to serving you!”

Saul got down to business, “Has anyone come to see Brown these days?”

George shook his head, “Everyone is together when they are resting, and he is always there at that time. Not at night though.”

Saul mused that perhaps the person who had instructed Brown to target himself hadn’t shown up yet.

He asked in a different way, “And before, that is, after I was injured, did you ever see a blonde eighteen or nineteen year old youth come to Brown?” Saul described the likeness of Sid, the second-level apprentice.

George’s mouth grew as he listened.

Seeing George’s expression, Saul immediately pursued, “Have you seen it before?”

George stuttered a bit and said, “Da, my lord, I haven’t seen him come to Brown …… But, but, but, isn’t the man you’re talking about the one who smashed …… you with a book and hurt you?”

Saul’s eyes widened.

His crippled memory had not been telling him who had killed the original owner of the body, and after being reminded by George, a picture suddenly surfaced in Saul s mind.

The fear that had been sealed away due to death exploded out in an instant.

It was a large bright but still creepy room.

It was rows and rows of towering bookshelves.

It was a young blonde man with a creepy look who kept pulling books out of the shelves and putting them back in.

There were a few vague whispers of “diary”.

That’s the shocked look on his face when he turned around and saw himself.

It was a palm-thick hardcover book that had been casually slammed into my face.

It was the dizziness mixed with intense fear and a sharp headache.

It was the silent darkness of death ……

Saul’s body shook in shock.

What surprised him was not the realization that Cid had killed “himself”, but the hardback book.

It was the hardcover book floating on his left shoulder!

Saul had always thought that the hardcover book was a perk, a bonus, a golden finger for his travels.

Unexpectedly, that hardcover book was something original to this world!

He held back from casting his eyes to his left shoulder.

Then he thought of the word diary he heard from Sid’s mouth, and the familiar format of the hardcover book before the words surfaced ……

Wasn’t what Cid was looking for the hardback book that he’d thrown over his shoulder?
Saul sneered.

I wonder if Cid realized.

If the other party realized that the hardcover book was what he was looking for, then there would be a reason for the heavy killings that Saul had encountered these days.

Saul didn’t know how to separate the hardcover book, and it was even more unlikely that he would give it up.

“Then it’s just a matter of not dying.” He said in his heart, and actually didn’t feel much fear anymore.

Raising his eyes, he saw that George was looking at him apprehensively, Saul softened his expression, “Alright, go back, I’ll transfer you out when I’ve settled down.”

Now George was happy, with these words from Saul, his little life could be extended for years.

Leaving the elated George, Saul went to greet the butler again specifically.

The other party behaved respectfully on seeing him, and painfully promised not to arrange George to do dangerous tasks.

Only after that did Saul hurriedly pack his things and rush to the East Tower.

The first class of the day was Basic Everything Awareness.

Saul arrived late, and Korie had already taken a place for him.

“You’re finally here, I was going to think something had happened to you too if you didn’t come.” Korrie rubbed her chin again, “Though it feels impossible.”

“Also? Something happened to who?”

Had someone had more bad luck than they did?

Kori said a name that Saul hadn’t even heard of.

“He’s crazy.” Korrie saw that Saul didn’t show the same panicked expression as the others, “Why aren’t you surprised?”

“I’ve seen the horrors of this place, I just didn’t expect someone to go crazy after just one day.” Sol whispered.

If it wasn’t for Pink Da’s appearance last night, the best thing that could have happened to him would probably have been going crazy.
