Chapter 235 – Defection of the Administrator

Chapter 235 – The Administrator’s Defection
Saul stood still, his mind starting to go on alert, “Is something wrong?”

The skin on the young administrator’s face was twitching, and his eyes were turning a little red as he looked at Sol.

Seeing this, Saul became alert and put the book in his hand into his arms, but the corner of his mouth was smiling lightly.

“Specially came to ambush me?”

At this moment, the white fog around them suddenly thickened, and except for the area where the two were, the fog in other places suddenly became thick, as if it had condensed into a wall.

Saul sank his shoulders and raised his hands, and several light gray transparent worms began to sink between his arms.

The last time the other party recommended him to buy a book along with the elderly administrator, the result was that halfway through, the tower master appeared and directly took away one of the books.

It was only because the tower master didn’t say anything, so Saul didn’t pursue it when he was there. I didn’t expect that these guys would still not die, it seems that they are ready to take action against him personally?

Saul was on guard, who knew that in the next second, a grim-faced young administrator even violently bowed to him.

“Please take me!”

Saul froze for a second, “What do you mean? Don’t speak indistinctly.”

The administrator across the room raised his head, but his back was still lowered.

“I hope, you will allow me to follow you.”

Delivered as a servant?

The other party was a librarian, a servant of the tower master, and he wanted to follow him?

The fog around him was so thick that he couldn’t see the outside world at all, so this was not a scene of allegiance.

Saul did not let go of his hand and looked down at the administrator who had an extremely awkward posture, “Reason?”

“I have been trapped in the library of this wizard tower for hundreds of years. Before the wizard tower was brought to this place by Lord Gortha, it has been here and never left. The only things that accompanied me were these books that I couldn’t turn over and the white mist that never dissipated. Then I was so bored that I transformed myself into three people with my life experiences.”

Sure enough, the young, middle-aged, and elderly administrators were, in fact, the same person.

However, because the three never appeared at the same time, Saul had originally thought that they would just change forms, but he didn’t expect that they would actually split into three.

Slicing themselves up?

“So you want me to take you away?”

“Yes, my lord. After leaving the library, I am willing to sign a contract with you to serve you for a hundred years. After that, I also ask you to set me free.”

“You are the tower master’s …… person, how can I have this right? It’s hard to believe that you want me and the tower master to be people?”

“My lord you don’t need to have this right, you can secretly take me away. We have already discovered that the special spirit ester on your body.”

Saul’s heart fluttered as he stretched his right hand out in front of him, “My spirit ester? You can also recognize that this is spirit ester?”

Who would have expected the youth to look at Sol’s raised hands, but he let out a bitter smile.

“You look like this now, and it’s completely different from before, but I know that in the past, you once possessed Spirit Ester, and it was a very special Spirit Ester.”

“Is it the plastic bone from before that they want?” Saul thought to himself, “Although he hasn’t gotten the soul fragments to experiment with, the Spirit Eating Ester is definitely a higher quality Spirit Ester than the Plastic Bone. He can’t see it, it should be because the properties of flesh and blood sorcery masks the properties of spirit ester under the anthropomorphic skin.”

“I do have spirit ester, but it’s just a very low-grade spirit ester with a preservation time of only a few days. Are you mistaken.”

“No lord! The old man and I have both personally tried …… it.”

Toward the end, the youth’s voice became lower and lower.

Saul’s brow furrowed, “Tried and tested?”

He suddenly remembered that before the administrator sold him the book, there had indeed been an unusual behavior. At that time, the elderly administrator purposely took the book away from him and returned it to him.

It turned out that at that time it was actually to reach out to him and test him.

“But my hands had already turned into white bones at that time, and the spirit ester was still stowed away in my pocket.” Sol thought suspiciously, suddenly thinking that maybe they weren’t talking about his own plastic bones.

The youth hung his head, and his voice became dull, “Yes …… when we came into contact with you, a part of our spirit will be taken away by you.”

Taken away?

Saul was completely unaware of the incident, and he still hadn’t realized that he had ever had more pieces of the administrator’s soul in his body.

But he clearly had no spirit ester in his body at that time, so how could he absorb someone else’s soul?
Suddenly, Saul took a quick glance at the diary while the youth still had his head down. It couldn’t be that the diary had secretly done this, could it?

The diary could absorb the excess evil thoughts in Saul’s body, so couldn’t it also directly absorb the resentful administrator in front of him?

“Get up, I can’t hear you when you talk like that.”

The youth straightened his back as he was told, and then he saw that Saul had already walked in front of him.

He was secretly happy in his heart, would this be enough to get Saul’s recognition?
Who knew that Saul suddenly raised his hand and grabbed at the youth’s arm.

But the youth’s spiritual body did not appear to be missing.

He was shocked, and his expression was even more flustered than Saul’s, ”This? How did your spirit ester disappear?”

Yes, when Saul’s hand grabbed at the youth’s arm, it didn’t touch the other party, but went straight through the other party’s body, just like how a normal person couldn’t touch a grievous spirit either.

But instead, Sol showed a thoughtful look.

Immediately after that, he withdrew his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his spiritual power began to travel his hands.

Instantly, Saul’s hands became extremely transparent, and one could see the bones in them at a glance, while the other tissues seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

Next, Saul once again grabbed at the young administrator’s arm.

And this time, the places where the administrator was touched by Saul all disappeared.

Saul withdrew his arm and examined it for a while, “I see, it seems that I do have the ability to take you.”

But the next thing Saul’s arm returned to its original light gray color.

He clasped his hands to his chest and looked around at the fog, “But it seems unnecessary for me to anger the tower lord over you. You disperse the fog, I’ve been here for a short time, it’s time to leave.”

The surprise on the young administrator’s face was instantly replaced by anxiety, and he did not disperse the fog immediately.

Saul’s face changed and he snapped, “What, you still really want to trap me with this mist and threaten me?”

“No!” The youth hastily defended, “This mist can temporarily block the outside world’s perception of this inside. Only then can I communicate with you, my lord, covertly.”

“Surely you’re hiding it from the top? Then how dare I take you away?”

The youth gritted his teeth, “It will not be discovered.”

Saul looked at him without speaking.

A disgruntled spirit that had been inside the wizard’s tower for an unknown amount of time was certainly dangerous, but a librarian tantalized him again.

This guy must know a lot of things, maybe even the past and what the tower master is doing now ……

The risk was worth taking, but Saul also wanted to minimize the risk as much as possible. At the very least, the administrator across the street had to show his sincerity in wanting a new master as well.

The youth looked around carefully.

There was only a constant churning of fog around him, and nothing could be heard or seen.

Only then did he continue, “Because I have divided myself into three, each of them may rest for a long time. When I leave with you, the two of them will cover for me. For at least three or four years, no one will find out. If the tower masters specifically seek me out, they will pretend that I have been swallowed by the white mist of the library.”

“Is it that simple? And won’t the two left behind resent being left behind?”

The youth laughed bitterly, “You can see the character of the middle-aged man, he is afraid of everything and doesn’t dare to take risks at all. As for the old man …… last time, he originally wanted to hide in the ethereal book and secretly leave with you. However, he was bumped into by the tower master and was thrown apart, and has not been able to coalesce his form again to this day.”

Saul crossed his arms and secretly said, “There was indeed something fishy inside the book last time, but I didn’t expect that it was actually hiding a spiteful spirit. However, looking at the Tower Master’s meaning, he doesn’t want the grudge spirit to be taken away by me. If I agree to the youth this time, will I be discovered and in turn anger the tower master?”

Sol raised his head and rubbed his brow, using the cover of his palm to look at the diary again.

“Even if I have the power to take you now, and you have the power to hide the truth of your escape, there is still one very crucial question.”

The youth looked at Saul nervously.

Saul lowered his hand with a compelling smile on his face, “Why should I risk my life for you?”

Saul: Name your price.
