Chapter 281 – Tertiary
Chapter 281 – Tertiary
“Where’s my diary? Where’s my big, red hardback book?!”
Saul felt himself break out in an instant cold sweat with a tingling stiffness going from the soles of his feet to the back of his head!
“Calm down!” Saul took a deep breath to calm his violently beating heart and rapid breathing.
He closed his eyes and tried to feel the diary.
It wasn’t difficult, and even the moment Saul calmed down, he saw the diary within himself.
The red hardback book floated silently within his mental body, lazily flipping over the moment Saul gazed upon it.
“Have I …… already turned the diary into my locator?”
In fact, what Saul had understood the moment he saw the diary within his mental body was only a bit unconvincing due to his excitement.
A first level apprentice can be promoted to the second level by constructing a complete 1st level sorcery after their magic and spirit power are up to par.
A 2nd level apprentice, however, needed to choose a locator and recognize it both physically and mentally, and have their magic power up to par before they could advance to 3rd level apprentice.
Saul had absorbed a large amount of spiritual bodies several times, and his magic power value had long since reached the standard. And his magical talent had also been powerfully boosted in one sorcerous body transformation after another. Not to mention his spiritual power that was already comparable to that of a full-fledged sorcerer.
Now that he had stabilized his locus, he could study the more profound 2nd rank sorceries!
When he succeeded in curing his first 2nd rank sorcery, it would also mean that he had officially become a 3rd rank sorcerer apprentice!
The higher the ranked sorcery, the more likely the knowledge it contained would affect or even contaminate people.
Only after selecting and stabilizing the locator could he access higher-order knowledge.
Otherwise, only destruction awaited the venturer.
After the diary moved from Saul’s left shoulder into his mental body, it gave him a powerful sense of stability.
When Saul meditated, cast spells, or mobilized his spiritual power, he could feel that the vibrations of both magic and spiritual power were drastically reduced.
“In this way, the mental power shock caused by casting a 1st-order sorcery becomes extremely small. And a 0th rank sorcery can’t affect my spiritual energy at all. Even if I haven’t learned 2nd Order Sorcery yet, I’m already stronger than the vast majority of 2nd Level Apprentices! And after learning 2nd Order Sorcery, both attack and defense would be on another level, and I would be able to advance to the forefront of all the 3rd level apprentices I know. Moreover, if an attack on the soul is launched, even a full-fledged sorcerer would be defeated under carelessness!”
He closed his eyes to calm down.
Next, Saul cast the few sorceries he was skilled in one by one, confirming that his mental power fluctuations seemed to be a bit smaller than those of an ordinary third-level apprentice.
“In the past that I can see, the diary was much more powerful than it is now. The current one seems to have sealed a lot of its abilities. But it doesn’t matter, unsealing it a little bit like this is what suits me best. Otherwise, the diary is the most dangerous existence for me.”
“That world of death may represent the diary’s strongest battle power, but such a power …… would be difficult to control even if I possessed it.”
Saul still had self-awareness, he didn’t envy the power that could destroy the world, and only wanted to step on the road under his feet.
Resting for a few minutes and emptying his brain, Saul stood up and re-cast the mage’s hand, re-propelling the old madman on the side.
At the same time, he took out a pen and paper from his coat pocket, ready to use the time on the return trip to continue his research on sorcery.
The conversation with Kismet not only made him understand the diary better, but also the idea of becoming stronger became stronger.
Although Kismet called him “master”, he was not soft at all.
According to him, in order to strengthen the bond between Saul and the diary, he doesn’t mind putting Saul in danger himself.
Even if Saul has the diary to foresee the death crisis, the only thing that can really solve and avoid the crisis is his own strength!
The sky had completely cleared, and the blood-colored night had finally passed.
Saul didn’t meet Kira again on the return trip.
The goddess of war was obviously more interested in fighting, and wondered if she had caught up with Kismet.
However, on his return to the outside of Mill Sail Town, Thor meets someone from the Duchy of Kemah.
They had surrounded the entire town, but no one had entered the town, and even one of them stood a hundred meters away from the town.
Some of the soldiers were holding up special bows and arrows in their hands, and the tips of the bows and arrows were burning.
The burning arrows left the string and accurately fell into the town of Mill Sail, bringing up a large flurry of flames.
There was also the power of sorcery in this.
Several people dressed as witches were clamoring there with crystal balls, astrolabes, and other witchcraft props, seemingly confirming something. Not far behind the sorcerers, a carriage was parked.
The carriage driver with a small mushroom on his head was crouching pitifully on the ground, holding a clay pot in his arms.
The first one to notice Saul was one of the wizards. When he saw Saul approaching slowly, his eyes showed wariness.
But before he could say anything, the cart driver crouching on the ground jumped up at once.
“My lord!” The cart driver grinned, revealing rather neat teeth.
Upon hearing the cart driver’s address, the arguing wizards immediately changed their expressions, and one by one, their faces squeezed into smiles as they expressed their sincerest welcome to Saul’s return.
Saul had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with the wizards of the Khema Duchy, the other party looked like most of them were only second level apprentices, with only one leader having the strength of a third level apprentice.
He nodded at the men and went straight to the cart driver.
The coachman looked at Saul with an excited expression, “My lord, you are indeed fine!”
“They said that everyone who entered the town died, but I can’t believe that something happened to you too!” The small mushroom on the cart driver’s head was shaking.
The mushroom in the clay pot in his hand was also shaking at the same frequency.
“Have you been waiting outside?” Saul asked with a smile.
“Yes, my lord. Then others came here and I hid in the woods and pretended I was a mushroom. They just really ignored me.”
Saul laughed, thinking, “That could be that Billy and Angela’s attention was on the town when they came over, and that’s why they didn’t notice the carny hiding in the woods. Of course, it’s also possible that they spotted the carny, but weren’t going to pay him any attention.”
“While you were over here, did you see a male wizard leave town?” Saul wanted to know if Billy had left alive.
The coachman shook his head, “I hid far away and didn’t dare to take a closer look. But then there was indeed a sorcerer lord who left from this side of the woods, whether he came out of the town or not, I don’t know. Then again, the people from the Khema Duchy came. They found me and sent over a maid.”
“The people of the Khema Duchy …… gave you a maid?” Sol frowned slightly, “What maid?”
“It was in the car.”
As if hearing the driver’s words, the door of the carriage behind him suddenly opened.
When Saul looked sideways, he saw a mannequin dressed in a black and white maid’s outfit, sitting in the carriage, smilingly throwing a wink at him.
“Aren’t you Wright’s maid doll?”
There was no one else in the carriage, and Saul immediately looked around for Wright’s figure.
“No need to look, Wright has already entered the town and is probably dead.”
The voice?
“Mrs. Yura?” Saul snapped his neck back.
The smile on the doll’s face suddenly disappeared, “I’m not Yura, I’m Vinnie! Don’t call me Yura!”
The mannequin turned his face away and stopped looking at Saul. The carriage door slammed shut as well.
Saul looked at the coachman with a bewildered expression, and found the coachman returning the same expression he had.
Several wizards from the Kemah Duchy had been secretly observing the movements on Saul’s side. Seeing the uncertain Saul, one of them walked over somewhat awkwardly.
“Greetings, I am the court sorcerer of the Kemah Duchy, Third Level Sorcerer Apprentice Brie. Just now, our Grand Duke was a bit rude to the lady in the carriage. I also hope you don’t mind.”
It was then that it dawned on Saul.
Although the tower master had always called her Yura, the other party herself had named herself Vinnie.
A name that had nothing to do with Yura.
Now that I think about it, the only person who recognized Yura as such might be Golza.
Then who exactly is Yuura and how was she made?
I’m afraid only the owner of the Sorcerer’s Tower knows.
