Chapter 236.
Chapter 236 – Giggling
Witches are extremely profit-oriented.
Saul was no exception.
Whether or not one could take a risk also depended on whether or not it was worth it.
The time has come for the youth to show their worth.
After all, Saul hadn’t really learned what the administrator of the Wizard’s Tower could do and what abilities he possessed.
“I no longer have any special abilities, and I can only briefly control a small amount of white mist within the library at the moment.” The youth gathered his courage and straightened his chest, pride seemed to return to him, “But I have all the books within this library memorized in my mind. I can retrieve and inform you of the knowledge you want within ten minutes. I can also determine which knowledge you can understand directly and which are dangerous. Even if it’s knowledge you see in the outside world, I can judge the authenticity of it for you based on my experience, identify items, and recognize traps. And ……”
The youth pursed his lips for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, “I have been here since the last generation of Sorcerer Tower masters, and I know many of the secrets of the Sorcerer Tower …… including the current master.”
Saul’s face was expressionless.
Isn’t it just an electronic encyclopedia with a search function plus The Sorcerer’s Tower, A History?
Then he seemed to hear his mouth clattering out.
Hold back! Can’t lose my temper!
He nodded casually, “It does make it easier to find books without having to run to the library.”
At that moment, there was something unsettling about the white fog around them, as if it was going to fail to maintain such a thick enclosure.
Seeing this, the youth hurriedly looked anxiously at Sol, “My lord, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on for much longer.”
Saul looked around and let out a light sigh, “Alright, but after taking you away, you must completely listen to my command, and within a few years’ time, you will probably be even less free than in the library. But I also promise you that after a hundred years, I will set you free. If you can accept ……”
“Thank you, my lord!” The youth almost fell into tears, his eyes glistening with water, “Within the Sorcerer’s Tower, I will absolutely stay honestly within you and will not let outsiders discover my existence.”
Ever since they found out that Sol’s body could actually absorb resentful spirits, he and the old man had been trying to use Sol to leave.
However, the old man who struck first chose to conceal Saul and use the other party to leave the library before saying anything else, so that he would also be qualified to talk to Saul about conditions.
As a result, the last step was discovered by the tower master, and the effort was lost.
Youth on the contrary, there is still a chance to fight to the death, but after dozens of nights of tossing and turning, he still decided to confess with Saul, with the help of the other party to leave the library.
If the other party agreed, the possibility of him leaving the library without anyone else’s knowledge would greatly increase, but if Saul didn’t agree, he might even report it to the tower master, leaving him in the lurch as well.
Then he would probably follow in the old man’s footsteps.
Fortunately, the youth won this bet!
As if mapping the youth’s mood, the white mist around him shook more and more uneasily and was about to disperse.
Saul took the initiative to take a step forward and extended his hands towards the youth.
“Don’t you move.”
The youth hurriedly stood up straight, not daring to move a muscle.
Then, Saul’s hands became transparent once again, and arms that could only be seen as white bones rested on the youth administrator’s arms on both sides.
Saul began to visualize the erosion diagram, and the spirit bodies of his fingers broke free from his fingertips.
And the spirit body that came to the outside world suddenly transformed into thick and long octopus tentacles, which opened up in an instant to wrap the youth tightly inside.
The young man who was originally waiting with joy instantly revealed a terrified expression, only because he thought of Saul’s words, “Don’t move,” he barely managed to hold back and didn’t run away immediately.
At the next moment, the tentacles that firmly entangled the youth suddenly contracted, countless suction cups opened their bloody mouths, sucking the youth inside like a jelly, “giggling” clean!
At the last second, Saul seemed to hear the voice of the youth wailing.
A huge amount of energy was sucked into Saul’s Spirit Devouring Ester, and Saul had to stand still for a moment before he could move.
The tentacles retracted, his arms turned back to gray, and the fog cleared around him.
The fog around them dispersed, and the fog seemed to be frightened, not daring to come near again.
The place where Saul stood was clean as if it had been filtered a dozen times.
But this weird phenomenon didn’t last long, and before Saul could get back out of the library books area, the white mist had already enveloped the teenager once again.
Leaving the book area, Saul took out the books he was going to rent.
“The administrator seems to have been absorbed by me. What about this book?”
Just as he thought of this, he saw the middle-aged administrator who was clutching his arms and cowering in a corner in death. Saul smiled slightly and walked over.
“Hello, I would like to borrow this book.”
The middle-aged administrator finally looked up at Saul, his eyes filled with fear, as if he already knew what was going on, and shivered as he said the price.
He then hesitated and took the initiative to lower the rent a little more.
Saul gladly accepted, pretending that he hadn’t abducted someone’s janitor, causing the middle-aged to work a lot more from then on.
“Saved 3 magic crystals.” Satisfied, he put the book back into the side pocket of his robe.
As he was about to leave, however, he bumped into another person at the library door.
Surprisingly, it was the Mutual Aid Association’s president, Rokai, who he hadn’t seen for a long time.
Ever since they found out that Rokai Li was using parasites to control some of the new first level apprentices who joined the Mutual Aid Society, Saul and Korie had begun to avoid contact with the Mutual Aid Society.
They only occasionally participated in one or two exchange sessions when needed, exchanging for materials they desperately needed.
And Rokai also seemed to be wary of the two with outstanding grades, and no longer invited them to the gatherings of low-level apprentices.
Saul was still unclear as to what exactly Rokai was trying to do by controlling those first level apprentices.
It couldn’t be anything good anyway.
Rokai was still a second level apprentice to this day, but he didn’t exude the same kind of anxiety that he had on Kongsa.
I don’t know if it was because he had a plan, or if he had already resigned himself to his fate.
Anyway, looking at his appearance, he wasn’t far from thirty.
“Long time no see, Sol.” Rokai surveyed Saul with slight surprise, “Not bad for you to have done a second transformation already.”
“Hello, Elder Rokai. This is just a little improvement on my part, it’s nothing.” Regardless of what he thought in his heart, on the surface, Saul still greeted politely.
It seemed that Rokai really did wait for him at the library entrance on purpose. Someone should have informed him of his whereabouts.
Saul remembered the few new apprentices he saw before he entered the library, it seemed that another batch of newcomers had joined the Mutual Aid Society.
“There’s no need to be so nervous, I only came over this time to invite you to a special exchange meeting in three days.” Rokai smiled and winked at Sol, “With your current status and position, you shouldn’t have to worry about anything anymore, right?”
Ever since the tower master saved them under the official wizard of the landwalker and took Saul alone, the matter of his acquaintance with Saul was no longer a secret.
Later on, Saul’s free access to the nineteenth floor’s private library was even more quickly noticed by people who had the intention to see it.
They all seemed to tacitly agree that Saul was already a student of the tower master.
It was commonly known as a pro-transmission.
Instead, it was the person in question, Saul himself, who had not yet dared to recognize this master-pupil relationship.
But even if he can’t admit it, Saul also knows that he can’t keep a low profile.
Then he simply stood out.
“Special exchange meeting, what’s so special about it?” Saul was a bit interested.
“Yesterday, a group of third level apprentices returned from a trip and brought a lot of good materials with them, so whenever this time comes, we will hold a special exchange meeting, inviting some third level apprentices and extremely outstanding second level apprentices to exchange and exchange materials together.”
Luo Kai spread his hands, “Ever since I was promoted to the second level there was no one to systematically teach academics, so I could only ask my mentor for specific advice while studying on my own. But with so many apprentices and only one mentor, it’s naturally impossible for all of our questions to be answered, so an exchange platform at the same level is the best learning opportunity.”
Saul had to admit that Luo Kai was right, if it wasn’t for the fact that Luo Kai’s establishment of the Mutual Aid Society still harbored many small thoughts, then he had done a good thing for the apprentices of the Sorcerer’s Tower.
“I see, so when and where?”
“Three days from now, 9:00 am, the activity room for third level apprentices on the 13th floor of the East Tower, you’ll see it as soon as you get there.”
“Is there an invitation?”
“Other level two apprentices need one, but you don’t.” Rokai looked at Saul’s grayish-white skin and smiled broadly, “Your sorcerous body transformation form is as obvious as Konza’s, no one will fail to recognize you when you walk around the Sorcerer’s Tower.”
