Chapter 196: You’re Good

Chapter 196 You’re Excellent
“Heya!!!”

The large mouth that was about to touch Saul’s head was suddenly attracted by the holy oil revealed by the small porcelain vase, and the large, fat, seemingly unwieldy bug changed direction in an instant.

As if it had been instantly hit with chicken blood, it first contracted and then popped out, so fast that only a shadow remained.

The bug’s large mouth was violently held open in the air, surprisingly not much smaller than his giant elephant-like body.

Victor couldn’t move fast enough, and could only raise his head and watch a huge mouth descend like the night!

“Boom ！！！！”

The huge impact directly destroyed the stone-built steps, splashing debris in all directions and scraping Sol’s cheeks.

But he didn’t have time to appreciate the beauty of Victor being swallowed up, nor did he have time to feel the pain in his skin.

The moment the worm leapt up, he twisted his head and ran.

He sprinted deeper into the corridor past the Kron wizard, who was almost rotting into a puddle of mud, and Swann, who was staring and crying in his place.

The small algae, which had broken several of its arms, shrank behind him and sank back into the back of Saul’s neck like spaghetti.

At the end of the corridor, Saul saw, not surprisingly, a passageway leading underground.

It was a gate built into the ground, covered with runes.

As expected, as Morton analyzed, this castle’s laboratory was built underground.

However, Saul just stopped his steps and looked at the gate in front of him and made a mistake.

The entrance door to the basement was actually sealed with sorcery.

Although the flow of magic on it was already very slow, Saul could still tell that this sorcery spell was protecting the entire gate from outsiders.

Saul’s eyes kept wandering between the formation’s runes, but he had absolutely no clue how to crack it.

The more he looked, the more dizzy he felt.

The corridor behind him wasn’t too long, and when the worms digested Viktor, they might come in after him.

Kron Wizard looked like he was out of it, and Swann was even less able to fend off the sphinx worms.

If Saul couldn’t figure out a way to get in, or find another escape route, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be long before he’d see the diary’s death warning again.

“With my current knowledge, there is no way to break this spell, if I violently break in ……,” Saul let out a bitter smile, “I’m afraid that only the tower master comes over to break in, right?”

“Is this the trouble the Tower Lord asked me to solve? How is this a danger? If I didn’t have the diary to help deduce the path to life, it would definitely end in ten deaths!”

Saul looked around again, there were a few more houses at the end of the corridor, but they were all ordinary rooms, there was no way to hide.

Saul looked at the entrance in front of him and suddenly said, “Diary old brother, please invite Lord Morton out.”

Saul was going to try a new way, and he wasn’t sure if it would work.

However, the exit was currently blocked, and if Saul wanted to escape, he could either enter the basement and use this formal sorcerer’s sorcery spell to fend off the enemy; or break through the wall.

But the latter meant that the commotion Saul made would definitely attract enemies, and there would be no chance to continue exploring.

Saul didn’t forget that his biggest purpose for coming here was to find clues related to the diary.

But who knew that as soon as he entered Ralph’s Manor, he encountered the mysterious and strange Victor, and now he was being chased by a big bug.

Saul always felt that the danger here had long exceeded the scope of the Tower Master’s warning.

Now, this might be Saul’s last chance to explore Ralph Manor.

[What’s the matter again? I actually hate to answer your question. I’m the Emperor of the Kemah Empire, a second-ranked sorcerer, how can I be a mentor to a second-ranked apprentice?]

Sol ignored Morton’s tirade, “Lord Morton, can you see the sorcery spells on the ground?”

[What are you looking at, it’s pitch black here, there’s nothing.]

As expected, the consciousness in the diary could not see the outside world.

Yet the diary was able to transmit Saul’s thoughts.

Then ……

Saul simply closed his eyes and used his spiritual power to directly depict the sorcery spell formation on the ground.

Soon, a few veins popped out of his head and fine beads of sweat burrowed out of his pores.

After a few more seconds, what came out of the pores turned into bright red beads of blood.

Saul’s eyes snapped open, the bottoms of his eyes were red, and his black pupils trembled continuously as he endured great pain.

“Uhh!!!”

He clenched his teeth, rusty breath escaping in his mouth. At this point Saul had a splitting headache, and in a trance it was as if he saw a needle being stuck in his brain, and it was one of those big thick surgeon’s needles.

After the needle was stuck into Saul’s brain, it was still pulling his brain matter outward, making Saul feel like his life was fleeing outward along that eye of the needle.

But Saul knew he couldn’t give up now.

He had almost completely depicted the spell on the ground using his mental body.

One second, two seconds, three seconds ……

When the last line was completed, it was as if Saul heard the sound of flesh and blood tearing apart.

He let out a sharp breath.

“Hoo…… hoo…… Lord Morton…… can, can you see?”

[……]

[Kid, I don’t know who you are. But you are good, really good. Second level apprentice, how dare you depict such a complex sorcery spell in your mental body. I believe that as long as you don’t die in an accident, there will definitely be a legend of you in the sorcerer world in the future.]]

Saul laughed bitterly once again, people are forced out.

Just now depicting the sorcery rune formation, it seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact the whole process was less than a minute.

Short time did not mean easy and simple.

If Saul couldn’t complete the spiritual depiction in a short period of time, the connection of the entire formation would all be broken, and he would have to start all over again.

“May I ask Lord Morton, can you undo this spell formation?”

[This formation isn’t exactly subtle, it’s just rather unique, utilizing a new connection pattern between the runes. I have to ask you, to what extent do you want to unravel it? If it is completely resolved and can be transformed with free strain, then even I would need a few days.”]

“As long as I can open the door sealed by this sorcery spell and still close it again.”

[It can, I need …… two hours.]

“I’m sorry Lord Morton, I may only have a few minutes.”

Maybe not even a few minutes.

The corridor behind Saul was fairly quiet at the moment, but he wasn’t sure when the sphinx worm would be interested in it.

Maybe the next minute, maybe the next second.

Saul could only hope that the advance warning from the death wizard’s diary would still buy him a few minutes.

[If it’s such a short time, I can only force the seal to be undone by destroying it, but you won’t have the strength of the original seal when you close the gate.]

Thor gritted his teeth and glanced back at the shadowy corridor again.

He couldn’t hear it now, but the sound of fat squeezing and writhing was faintly heard in his ears, accompanied by his heartbeat and a bubble wrapped in white smoke.

Saul licked his dry, cracked lips and decided to go underground first.

“Then please, I don’t have much time.”

This time Morton didn’t make another sound, and the black pages fell silent.

Saul hastily took this time to open his meditation.

Because he was in a dangerous area, he couldn’t start a fully immersive meditation either, and could only quickly recover from the consumption of his mental power and magic power just now through a semi-immersive meditation first.

It was just that his headache still didn’t lessen, but fortunately he was also used to headaches.

Good swimmers drown.

Thor’s mental talent was powerful, but it was also his mental power that was most often injured.

“This time when we go back, we must talk to Golza properly, even if we raise parasites, we can’t raise them like this! If you don’t give some benefits, you definitely won’t do it in the future.”

Saul was rambling about trying to ignore the headache while trying to recover from the trauma in his mental body.

Finally, the diary in front of Sol’s eyes once again surfaced with new words.

[It’s done, opening it is simple, as long as you complete the connection of these nodes with your magic you can open the gate].

A complex white pattern appeared in front of Sol’s eyes.

Saul glanced at it and suddenly felt that the pattern of this ripple looked somewhat familiar.

At that moment, as if the diary read what he was thinking, it suddenly turned over, allowing Saul to see the diary’s cover.

That white ripple was actually exactly the same as a pattern …… on the diary cover!
Third shift, Happy Lantern Festival!!!!
