Chapter 221 – Haywood and Hildy

Chapter 221 – Heywood and Heidi
Heywood’s expression changed slightly, “This matter, let’s talk about it back in the storehouse.”

Saul indeed desperately wanted to go back to the storage room, tonight’s painful experience made him miss the security of his soul staying inside his body immensely.

Sure enough, just as the tower master had said, an out-of-body soul was not a good thing for him.

But wouldn’t anything else happen if he went with Haywood?
The diary didn’t show up.

“Diary dude, you’re not broken, are you?” Saul communicated with Diary internally.

The diary flipped over and turned the book towards Saul.

“Good, it’s not broken, that means Heywood isn’t going to make a move on me just yet.” Candlelight shines into the path ahead of Saul, giving him more energy, “If Haywood really wants to take a shot at me, maybe I can escape by voluntarily getting into the candle pipe.”

I don’t know if it was because he sensed Saul’s burning gaze, the candle flame that had been burning steadily suddenly wavered.

This also caused Heywood to look over suspiciously.

“How much did you just see?” Saul suddenly spoke, tuning Heywood’s attention over.

The other man smiled, “From when you guys came out of Mentor Katz’s lab since.”

He knew that he couldn’t hide it from Saul, so he just told the truth, “The soul of that servant named George has undergone a mutation, and if you hadn’t bailed him out, I’m sure he would have appeared on some apprentice’s lab table tomorrow.”

Saul frowned slightly, he knew that he could protect George for a moment, but not for a lifetime.

What’s more, he didn’t intend to protect the other party for a lifetime either.

This time out, one to remember George can also help him, two to George’s appearance let Saul recall the past, the stimulation of the old memories, sort of coincidentally helped him stabilize his consciousness.

So he gave George a chance to become a sorcerer’s apprentice.

In fact, this is the only chance for George to survive for a while.

If he gave up on becoming a sorcerer’s apprentice, in less than a year, the weak mental power resistance of an ordinary person would go crazy because of the extra head in his head.

Haywood looked at Saul, who was thinking, and suddenly added, “Of course, since you asked, I will arrange it down for you, so that he can take his time to think about it until he becomes an apprentice, or dies.”

He took two steps in, “With a status like ours, it’s only a matter of words to keep a small servant and get him into the wizarding world.”

Sol sniffed and suddenly smiled brightly, “Thank you so much then, you’re so kind, Elder!”

Haywood stalled, for some reason, looking at Saul who was full of smiles like this made him even more wary than the Saul who had just grimaced.

Afterward, under Heywood’s escort, Saul returned to the first floor of the East Tower.

Arriving in front of the bronze gate, without Saul’s explanation, Heywood took the initiative to go forward and push the door.

By now, those terrifyingly slender arms had long since disappeared from outside the gate, but Saul still maintained a twelve-percent vigilance as he passed through the single door that Heywood pushed open.

Luckily all went well next and he returned to the second vault and re-entered his body.

It was only when walking through the mass of corpses that every now and then his spirit body would get stuck to one of the corpses, and he would have to break free very hard to continue inside.

And Saul’s body was still lying honestly on the single bed without mutation.

This also made Saul, who was vaguely worried, let go of his heart.

When he pushed open the door again and walked out of the second storage room, he saw Heywood still waiting outside.

“Now, Senpai,” said a smiling Saul, who had regained his body and was quite a bit more steady, “can you tell us how you found out that I had an out-of-body experience? After all, I have to report on an experience as bizarre as last night’s.”

Heywood suddenly let out a long sigh, “This matter …… does have something to do with me.”

He suddenly removed his hood and twisted his head to show Saul the back of his head.

There was originally an ugly witch’s face on the back of Haywood’s head, but at this moment, there was only bare, scarred and intertwined skin left there. “I never had a chance to introduce you before,” Haywood turned around again, smoothly putting on his hood, “that woman’s name is Heidi, and it’s a spell I made out of a fellow sister.”

Saul blinked.

Sibling sister?

“My parents are both third level wizard apprentices.” Haywood introduced himself at the same time, “They both did a lot of sorcerous body modifications that affected them greatly but didn’t suit them. As a result there is almost no possibility of becoming a full-fledged wizard after advancing to the third level.”

Heywood instructed Saul one sentence in passing, “That’s why I don’t recommend you to remodel your vital organs before you become a full-fledged sorcerer.”

Hearing this advice, Saul suddenly thought of Kong Sha.

What the schoolmate had remodeled was no longer called a vital organ, it was a fatal organ!
Heywood continued, “They used all the methods they could in order to give birth to their offspring. As a result, when my sister and I were born, there was still an accident.”

“Our mother mutated on the day of delivery, and my father had no choice but to kill her in order to save my sister and me. It’s just that my sister was still affected and turned into a monster with a normal head but a body the size of a small thumb.”

When mentioning his mother’s death and his sister’s mutation, Haywood remained calm.

“Then my sister was raised in a bottle, and I learned to live and play on her back every day …… until I was six years old, when my father decided to make us into a twin spell to prolong his life.”

Saul also listened with an expressionless face, not the least bit surprised that the follow-up unfolded; there was no such thing as a normal person in a wizard.

He even felt that Haywood’s parents had given birth to them to extend themselves, there was never any love child.

However, he was curious about how Haywood, a child of only six years old, was going to escape the killing machine of a third-level sorcerer apprentice.

Haywood saw the situation, a slight smile and then said, “also fortunately before my father never stopped my sister and I went out, so there are many people know about our situation, in my six years old that year, the tower master lord door, want to take me.”

“Father disagreed at first, but later he acquiesced.”

Saul related, it couldn’t be the dead can’t talk kind of acquiescence, could it?

At that moment, Haywood’s expression suddenly appeared to change slightly, seemingly colored with a bit of guilt and sadness.

“It’s a pity that I let my mentor-sama down.”

The unpleasant topic unfolding was hastily cut off by him, and Haywood changed back to a smiling face.

“It was only after entering the Wizard’s Tower that I transplanted my sister from the bottle to the skin of the back of my head. Since I’ve been taking care of Heidi for so many years, she’s got a bit of a willful streak.” Haywood finally got to the point of last night, “I just didn’t realize that she was stupid enough to think that if you died, that silver eye would be hers.”

“So that means she was behind this out-of-body unconsciousness of my soul going to the level below? How did she do that?” Sol asked in a deep voice.

The second storeroom that Saul was in wasn’t something that anyone could just enter, it was the key place where the Sorcerer’s Tower stored important materials!

“Including the basement, there are a total of 22 floors in the Golsa Witch Tower. But that’s for ordinary people, or ordinary sorcerer apprentices. In fact, the Sorcerer’s Tower also has a mezzanine.”

A mezzanine?

Saul immediately recalled those densely-packed eyes, spaghetti-like slender arms, and a big mouth that only cried out for hunger.

These monsters seemed to live in the mezzanine.

“The mezzanine exists between the first and second storage rooms, and the corridor we’re in now is the only passage.”

He was silent for a moment.

“She knew you were spiritually unstable and ventured through the mezzanine to your side. I think she may have been trying to pull your spirit into the mezzanine so that you would die an untimely death. But now it turns out that you suddenly ran out of the basement passage, but Heidi didn’t come back.”

Saul: Then I’m going to laugh out loud three times.
