Chapter 148: That’s the way to apologize

Chapter 148 – Now That’s the Attitude to Apologize
Saul was a bit bewildered.

But Byron is the one who steps forward and pulls Saul out, then collects his pockets, “Back to you, there’s an enemy, hurry up.”

Though Saul was still unclear about what was happening, he subconsciously followed Byron.

Their original camp was near the cave, only most of the things were destroyed by the previous shelling.

Saul pointed to a cave entrance and told them that he had hidden everything of value there.

But when Wright runs over to it, he sees that it’s empty.

“It should have been found by the land rovers.” Nick said, “The wood spider is gone too.”

Wright grimaced as he looked at the land rowers, “I’m going to go slaughter them all! It just so happens that these guys have been laying into us since they showed up, trying to silence us, there’s definitely something going on here.”

“Hurry up and kill, hurry up and run.” Byron agreed.

The two third level apprentices walked over, raging.

A few of the landwalkers realized that it was not good, climbed up and tried to run.

“Stop!” A stern voice shouted.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice.

It was Saul.

He had one hand against his temple again, his face contorted slightly, and the other pointing at the cliffs across the street, “Can that ship still be started?”

The men from the land rowboat were now weak in the knees at the sound of Saul’s voice, but after realizing what he was talking about, one of them surprisingly mustered up the courage to say, “A three-masted sailing ship can be started with five men. We can steer the boat for you, please spare our lives.”

Nick immediately said, “We sailed their ship and could be tracked.”

But Wright said, “Come on, we can’t outrun our pursuers with our feet. If the ones chasing us are full-fledged wizards, then we have nowhere to hide. Just hurry up and leave the Valley of the Drooping Hand, I don’t believe they’ll still dare to chase us into the boundaries of the Sorcerer’s Tower!”

Saul agreed with Wright’s point of view, and he proposed the same idea of escaping in a boat.

Time was running out, Byron finally clapped his hands and decided to run away in a boat, regardless of whether there was a tracking signal on the boat or not, and run as far as he could.

Both he and Wright seemed to be in high spirits now, but in fact, they were both highly depleted.

And Saul was obviously not in the right state, his face looked normal now, but who knows if the whole body melting just now had any subsequent effects on him.

It was still necessary to hurry back to the Wizard Tower!
The four of them held the remaining enemies of the landwalkers hostage and boarded the three-masted sailing ship on the opposite side as fast as they could.

Once on deck, several people were pleasantly surprised to find that most of their instruments and wooden spiders had been moved here.

It was just too late for the men to take an inventory, so they immediately escorted their captives to the ship.

It just so happened that there were still five living people left in the land traveling boat.

Being sick, Saul didn’t have to work.

He rubbed his head while casually sitting next to their lost and found luggage.

Soon, the sailboat gradually rose a meter off the ground.

Then all three sails fell. It was clear that there was no wind, but it seemed to be bulging with something blowing.

The entire ship just started to move quickly.

“It’s finally running.” Saul let out a slight sigh of relief, “Damn, my head hurts, is it the aftermath of fighting in my head?”

A sharp pain hit him, and Saul unconsciously lurched to the side, right into the Soul Fluctuation Sensory Instrument at his side.

Saul, who was originally fighting the pain, seemed to see something in his afterglow.

He immediately twisted his head, and suddenly realized that at that moment, a flat black shadow appeared in the mirror of the perception gauge.

That black shadow was standing right behind Saul, slightly bowing its head as if it had been watching him.

“Ho!”

Saul immediately stood up and looked behind himself.

Naturally he couldn’t see anything.

He looked to his sensors again, and the dark figure moved with him, still standing behind him.

Saul slowly looked sideways at the switch on the Perceptron.

Sure enough, the Perception Gauge had not been activated at all!
Saul remembered that the black shadow that appeared behind him now was actually the black shadow that had appeared inside the Perception Gauge at the entrance of the Drooping Hand Valley!
“Could it be that I was already haunted by an evil spirit when I entered the Valley of the Drooping Hand?”

This spirit had a solid figure, completely different from the blurry spirit they had seen later.

It was only because it never appeared again afterwards that Sol gradually forgot about this spirit.

Unexpectedly, it had followed Saul all along.

“A single evil spirit has already tortured me half to death, if this spirit body is also an evil spirit, then I don’t need to think about resisting, it’s better to lie equal to death.” Saul laughed to himself, and actually slowly sat back down again.

However, his greatest strength was still in the diary quietly hovering over his left shoulder.

“Since I can’t die for the time being, it’s better to rest for a while.”

Another headache hit him, and Saul leaned directly against the mirror of his sensory instrument.

And in the distorted mirror, the black shadow that stood silently behind Saul gradually faded away.

The sailing ship of the landwalker was fast, and they gradually sailed away from the Valley of the Drooping Hand and traveled through the plains and woods.

The boat could be up to five meters off the ground to avoid the bottom of the boat being scratched by tree branches.

It was just that this was more energy intensive and could only last for a limited amount of time.

Until now, there were no pursuers behind them to catch up, and the nervous crowd was more or less relieved.

The captives were a bit disappointed at first, but without knowing what they had privately discussed again, they later even revealed a relieved look as well.

However, everyone was still uneasy about these people, after all, they were not familiar with this ship, who knows if they had played any tricks.

By the next morning, Byron was examining Saul’s body, and Nick was on the side in charge of recording.

Wright suddenly ran up cursing.

“These guys, how dare they lie to me!”

Nick immediately stood up, “What’s wrong?”

“You don’t even need five people to steer the boat, especially after getting it started, just one person is responsible for adjusting the direction.”

Nick thought for a moment, “It could be that they’re afraid that if they tell the truth, the extra person will be killed.”

Byron didn’t get involved in the discussion as he lowered Saul’s sleeve, “So far it looks like it’s back to normal except for the dissolution of the skin on his hands. But there could be hidden dangers that I can’t check.”

“Your headache is the aftermath of the evil spirit’s possession, and the evil spirit absorbed a lot of soul fragments while it was inside you, although most of them perished after the evil spirit’s death, it can’t be ruled out that there will be omissions. Anyway ……”

“All in all it’s just that when I go back, I need to find someone more specialized to check and treat me again.”

Nick covered his forehead and seemed to be reminiscing, “Fortunately, at that scene, I thought you would dissolve your entire body and turn into a white bone. This time out on a mission, you and Senior Byron really opened my eyes.”

Saul smiled, but said to Byron, “When did senior act so well? Fooling the evil spirits.”

Byron replied seriously, “Learned from you.”

Thor: “……”

Wright lets out a “Ha” and stops again, wanting to laugh but not daring to while looking at Byron with admiration.

The latter stood up and pressed his hand on Wright’s shoulder, “Next time wait for me to come over for a shift.”

Wright hung his head, “Oh, I tied up the remaining four and told the one driving the boat to kill and replace the next one if he wasn’t honest.”

Byron nodded and got up to walk off the deck.

There was some silence on deck for a moment.

Nick, who was organizing his materials, noticed that Wright stood somewhat awkwardly in place, not going to rest or meditate.

And across from him, Saul started rubbing his head with his white-boned hand again.

Nick stood up, cleared his throat and said, “I’m going to the lookout to see if there are any pursuers.”

With that, he left at a brisk pace.

After Nick left, Wright seemed to finally work up the courage to step forward.

Saul, who was suffering from a headache, opened his eyes alertly and looked at Wright expressionlessly.

“That …… sorry!” Wright suddenly bowed deeply to Saul, “But before in the cave, it really wasn’t me who made a move to harm you.”

Wright quickly went over what Saul had experienced after he fell off.

After seeing that Saul remained expressionless, he spoke with some apprehension, “I saw you fall out at the time and thought you couldn’t get out, so that’s why ……”

When he saw that Saul was just staring expressionlessly without saying anything, the uneasiness in his heart grew even more, and he hurriedly apologized again.

“I’m really very sorry, please forgive me, Your Excellency, I’m willing to make up for my mistake!”

Saul held his chin, “Then write an IOU.”

Wright: “?”

“Just write that Wright owes Sol a hundred credits, stamped with your name tag, in duplicate.”
