Chapter 248 – Consciousness Platform Formation
Chapter 248 – Consciousness Platform Formation
“Heh, a mistake.” Sol laughed as he stepped forward and cast a Repair Micro Injury, restoring the gate as before.
“Hmm.” Byron stepped aside and invited Saul to enter.
His room was cluttered as always, and now Saul showed signs of being greatly affected by it.
The two men’s labs, however, were tidy, items placed on display in a specific order so as not to set off a chain reaction.
“Senior, I’d like to buy that consciousness platform spell you helped me set up back in the Valley of the Drooping Hand.”
“Yes.”
“How many credits, or magic crystals?”
Byron hesitated for a moment, as if calculating its value.
Saul didn’t push, and waited patiently.
After about five minutes, Byron said to Saul, “No money. I want the method you used to exorcise the evil thoughts that Morton left inside your body at that time.”
Saul froze for a moment.
“Could it be that Senior Byron was also haunted by evil thoughts?”
“Did the tower master strike?” Seeing that Sol didn’t answer, Byron frowned and asked.
He was more afraid that it was really the Tower Lord himself who had touched his hand to help Saul exorcise the evil thoughts, then there was no way he could find a way to exorcise the evil thoughts from Saul’s hands.
He, unlike Sol, couldn’t reach Golza.
“That’s not true. But I’m afraid that you can’t use the way I exorcise evil thoughts.”
Byron first stretched his brow, then slowly furrowed it again.
“However, if it is a senior who is haunted by evil thoughts, I can help you dispel them.” Saul said with a smile.
Byron did not hesitate this time, “Well, deal!”
“That’s a deal?”
Byron opened his mouth and pulled out a familiar little notebook, quickly drawing ten circles on one of the pages.
“Repel once, scratch one.”
Saul’s mouth dropped open, “Senpai, can your evil thoughts still reproduce themselves?”
Byron shook his head and led Sol to his desk.
“I’m doing an experiment for promotion to full wizard.”
“You have a clue already? What it takes to be promoted to full wizard.”
Byron casually drew an extra half-circle on his small notebook before answering, “Fusing the locator with your mental body. This will mean that the locator is no longer your weakness, but a part of you.”
Saul didn’t quite understand.
“Doesn’t choosing the locator mean making him a part of me?”
“A locator that has just entered your body is like a foreign object. It will even make you very uncomfortable, fearful, and not wanting to recognize it. Only when the spiritual will completely accepts the existence of the locator and recognizes it as a part of the self can you break through the confinement and be promoted to a third level apprentice.”
Byron completed the circle he had just drawn, “And if a third level apprentice wants to be promoted to a full sorcerer, he has to convert it from a material form to a spiritual form. The locator will appear within your spiritual body. It’s like going from your clothes, to your heart. This is difficult and very easy to trigger the alienation of the sorcerer apprentice, so advancing to full sorcerer …… is difficult.”
Hearing this, Saul’s scalp also tingled.
Directly turning the material locator, into a spiritual one.
Even the form of existence had changed.
Was this really something that a mere sorcerer apprentice could do?
But just as he thought of this, he suddenly froze again.
“Wait, I… My selected locator is a diary… it didn’t have a material form in the first place.” Saul subconsciously wanted to touch his left shoulder, but halfway through raising his hand he was naturally changed to touching the corner of his forehead.
Byron thought that Saul was intimidated by the difficulty and let out a soft sigh, thinking, “Saul doesn’t even have a locator right now, so I’ll give him the fusion transformation locator thing, no wonder he’s intimidated.”
But what Byron didn’t know was that Saul was indeed frightened, but not by the difficulty of the future, but by a new idea that popped up.
“If I succeed in transforming the diary into my locator, then wouldn’t I …… be equivalent to immediately advancing to a third level apprentice?”
However, at the moment, this was only a conjecture that Saul had based on a few words from Byron, and whether or not this was ultimately the result could not be determined.
Byron didn’t disturb Saul’s thinking, but took advantage of the time he was thinking to sit in front of the table and pull out one of the neatly stacked notes. “This is my handwritten copy, so you can just take it.”
Saul took the notes and flipped through them, and the formation integration diagrams that appeared on the last few pages happened to be the ones he had seen in the cave at the time.
“I’ll take it then.” Saul tucked the notes into his pocket, “Do you need me to help you exorcise your evil thoughts now?”
Byron shook his head, “Not yet …… my limit.”
Saul blinked, suddenly realizing what Byron might be doing.
He was going to use his evil thoughts to “force” the locator into his spirit.
This is somewhat like the kind of people who use battle to sharpen their skills, if you get it right, you will progress very quickly, if you don’t get it right, you may die violently at any time.
It is to pull infinitely with the God of Death, in order to stimulate their own potential.
He was a bit worried and couldn’t help but instruct, “Don’t push yourself too hard either.”
Byron revealed a shallow smile, “Uh-huh.”
Saul thought for a moment, still not quite at ease, “I want to learn about the evil thoughts in your body first, so that I don’t have to improvise when you can’t hold on.”
Byron nodded and got up and walked over to Sol.
Suddenly, his entire body expanded like a balloon.
But the scene before him was not as comical as before.
Rather, it was shocking!
Byron’s exposed face, neck, and arms, all bulged out. And it wasn’t air that was filling his body.
Almost every piece of skin was held up in the shape of a human face.
These human faces were like large fish that had mistakenly entered a fishing net, one by one desperately trying to find an exit to drill out.
It was crucial that these human faces also knew how to sprint, but after they had been bound by Byron’s bizarre skin for a while, they would back off then violently force their way out again.
Several human faces kept sprinting outward, trying to escape their bonds.
This makes Byron look like a constantly morphing evil spirit.
Sometimes the wizard and the boogeyman are really only one step away.
Saul took a deep breath to calm himself.
He closed his eyes and then opened them slightly as his spiritual power began to work.
With this vision, Saul saw the evil thoughts on Byron.
These evil thoughts were powerful. There wasn’t a single small fish or shrimp in them, and they seemed to have been specifically screened.
It was specifically used to help Byron fuse the locator.
Saul recalled that Byron had gone out several times to collect evil spirits, and it turned out that they were used here.
Byron’s purpose had always been clear, it was for promotion.
Saul came out of his semi-immersed meditation and thought for a moment, “Senior, can you give me some of your skin?”
Byron nodded with difficulty, and then the human face on him was squeezed back, and the whole person returned to his original appearance.
Then, to Saul’s surprise, he once again put his hand into his mouth.
Then, a small piece of brown skin was pulled out.
Saul took out the test tube he had with him to catch it, and just couldn’t help but look at Byron suspiciously.
“Is this Senior’s skin?”
Byron nodded, “Uh-huh.”
Saul looked at Byron’s skin, also ghastly white from years of not seeing daylight, and then at the bit of brown in the test tube ……
Elder Byron couldn’t have torn the skin off one of his internal organs and given it to him, could he?
