Chapter 231 – Spirit Eating Ester
Chapter 231 – Spirit Eating Ester
After being pleased with himself, Sol tested his spiritual body again.
The results were still pleasing.
Although the new Spirit Ester eliminated the soul fragments that had originally been absorbed, its quality still exceeded the first and second generation plastic bones. As a result Sol’s spiritual strength had to a tier increase. And as it had continued to hold soul fragments afterwards, his spiritual body would continue to strengthen.
“It’s time to give this material a new name, Plastic Bone is no longer able to elaborate on its properties at all.”
Saul pondered while organizing his messy notes, and in the end he organized all the pages together, added a cover to the first page, and threaded it with a thread.
He leaned over and wrote three large letters on the flap – Phlebotinum Ester.
That was the name of the formula for Saul’s second sorcerous body transformation!
Only, other than Saul, whose mental body was comparable to that of a full-fledged sorcerer, I’m afraid that other apprentices wouldn’t be able to draw on it at all.
This completely belonged to the transformation formula that ordinary apprentices would die if they touched it and go crazy if they used it.
Moreover, this witch body transformation was much more comfortable than the first time, and the whole process was like a dream.
But the content of the dream made Saul somewhat surprised.
Why would he dream about an elf?
Senior Byron had once told Saul to try not to touch anything elf-related before the third level.
But Kong Sha seemed to have no such qualms. She was even actively seeking information about elves.
The two elf-related contacts that would come to mind seemed to be filled with weirdness.
And there was absolutely no information about elves to be seen in the library. Even if there were books written in elvish, the contents had nothing to do with elves themselves.
Because of his total ignorance of elves, Sol was vaguely uneasy inside.
Fear came from the unknown.
“Maybe the tower master can help me analyze it, I just don’t know if he’s free right now.”
He used his transmitting pen to write that he was awake, and then sat down on the couch the Tower Master had given him to begin his restorative meditation.
Unexpectedly, Golza, who had just left, reappeared in front of Sol a few minutes later.
Following him was the same couch.
“Not bad, the fit between the spirit body and the body is back to the normal range.” As soon as they met, Golza spoke of scanning Saul from head to tail, “But you’ve undergone a secondary sorcerous body transformation in a short period of time, so it’s best to go to Kaz for a full checkup.”
Saul dutifully nodded, although he had already done a checkup himself, the props and checkup instruments in the storehouse were rudimentary, and it would be good to borrow the Tower Master’s mouth to get Mentor Kaz to take a shot at him.
“Do you still have the letter Kismet sent in?” Gortha brought up another matter.
Last time he had received the message, something had prevented him from leaving, and now that they had met, the second thing they asked about him was obviously concerned about the reason why Kismet had approached Saul as well.
“No. Shortly after I read it, the letterhead disappeared, and not a trace of it can be found at all.”
Gortha listened, eyes downcast in thought for a moment, fingertips lightly tapping the couch.
Suddenly, he stood up, his hood slipping from his head and his thick, brownish-red cloak swinging out to the sides.
“Close your eyes!”
Saul hastily closed his eyes.
Then, a burst of strong light penetrated his eyelids, and his eyes were red, and despite closing his eyes, they were vaguely painful.
Saul hastily raised his hands to cover his eyes, which avoided the stimulation of the strong light.
In a trance Saul felt that the light from the outside world was getting stronger and stronger, almost piercing through his fingers into his eyes.
Just as he was thinking about whether he should follow the Chevron’s example of making the hiding position of lying on the ground with his hands covering his head, the outside light finally subsided.
“You can open your eyes now.” Golza said gently.
Thor opened his eyes as he was told, but there was still a white blur before his eyes, and it took two minutes for them to completely recover.
“Lord Tower Master?”
“I found no trace of the letter either. Kismet sneaked in a letter and then destroyed it immediately after you read it. If it was just to deliver a few words, there was no need to use such a special means.”
Saul was startled and quickly asked, “My lord, are you saying that he might have passed something else in through that letter?”
“That’s what I either think,” Golza shook his head gently, “but having just checked a few times, I still haven’t found any foreign magical or spiritual power. Given Kismet’s usual tactics …… Sol, you carefully recall if there is anything else on the letter paper?”
Did Golza mean that Kismet might have controlled himself through the letter paper?
Saul’s expression became serious and closed his eyes to fully utilize his mental power. If it was someone else, it would be ridiculous to do so, because no matter how hard they tried, it would be impossible for them to discover that a second-order sorcerer had moved.
But Saul was confident that once he investigated himself with all his might, he would definitely find some clues.
After a while, Saul opened his eyes, “No problem.”
However, when he saw the tower master in front of him who had been staring at him, he still asked respectfully.
“Lord Tower Lord, do you need to check again?”
“If I make a move, I will injure your spiritual body.”
The Sorcerer’s Tower was Golza’s territory and was deeply connected to him. Since he hadn’t even noticed anything, the probability of Kismet secretly making a move on Sol was very low.
“Have you encountered anything strange recently? For example, hearing some kind of special sound and seeing some unseen images.” Golza asked slowly.
And with this question, he really made Sol remember his main purpose of calling the tower master over.
“I passed out for a period of time while undergoing a transformation. During the coma, I saw an elf.”
“An elf?” Gortha leaned forward on his upper body, “How are you sure it was an elf?”
Thor described the look of the girl who whimpered and cried that she was dying.
When he finished, Sol asked, “Could that elf-related vision be related to Kismet?”
Recalling Kismet’s outstanding appearance and tawdry demeanor, Saul suddenly came up with a guess.
“Kismet, could it be an elf?”
“Heh, what makes you think that?” Who expected Golza to be amused, “It’s also true that the knowledge of elves is basically not taught to apprentices. However, your mental body is already comparable to a full-fledged sorcerer, so I’ll tell you about …… elves, which disappeared as early as three hundred years ago.”
Elves …… disappeared?
Saul was puzzled, “Since it disappeared three hundred years ago, why do people still avoid elves so much? And Elvish is again one of the most popular sorcery languages, there is no danger to those who learn it.”
Looking at the opposite side of Sol who immediately revealed a surprised and curious expression, Golza smiled and continued, “Because Elvish, in fact, is a language that elves specifically created in order to communicate with sorcerers.”
In Golza’s narration, the elf race was born with strong spiritual power, and even just-born toddlers were enough to be comparable to full-fledged sorcerers.
They usually seldom spoke and liked to sing, but the songs had no lyrics, only melodies.
When the elves needed to communicate with each other, they would directly release their spiritual power to vibrate, and large segments of information could be transmitted completely and correctly in just a second.
Therefore, when elves communicate with humans or other would only races, they would always accidentally shock each other into madness.
Therefore, the wise people of the elf clan invented the elven language.
Usually use words to communicate, only when it is inconvenient to speak, in the emergency, just a spiritual power shock sent over, whether it can survive depends on the receiver’s luck.
“The Elvish language also has pronunciation, pronounced as if singing. It’s just that a lot of pronunciation is something that human organs can’t do, and even with the remodeling of the tongue and throat, it’s still hard to mimic it accurately. So Elvish is mostly used for documentation, not communication.”
Starting the introduction from the Elvish language was also Golza’s hope that Saul would learn about the Elves little by little through things he was familiar with, rather than causing a strong cognitive shock right off the bat.
After all, even explaining about elves could confuse or even injure the mental body of a weak apprentice.
“It is also because of the elvish language that the wizarding world has become more and more aware of the elven race. But the increase in communication has not brought about a decrease in conflict.”
In Golza’s mouth, elves were not the true and beautiful species that Thor had imagined them to be.
They were straightforward but not naive, and loved nature and its laws.
As a result, sometimes some of their actions feel unbelievable or cold-blooded.
In particular, there was once a group of sorcerers and elves had a conflict, and the elves did not hesitate to transform the group of sorcerers and the human area under their control into a suitable living environment for elves.
The local humans were not left alive.
From then on, the elves made a great reputation.
“At that time, the elves didn’t occupy a large territory, but there wasn’t a single sorcerer, not even a third-order sorcerer dared to provoke the elves at will. That’s why their status was very supreme. But on a certain day three hundred years ago, the elves suddenly disappeared. In that no one had ever seen a real elf, it was as if their existence had been erased. And all the wizards who traced the elves’ whereabouts either disappeared or were alienated.”
Gortha’s silver eyes flashed, “Some say that the elven race, without exception, were all tainted.”
