Chapter 295 – The Signboard of the Land Rowing Boat

Chapter 295 – Land Rowing Boat’s Signboards

Although Saul was ambushed by the enemy, but when the diary issued a non-death warning, he knew that the enemy this time wouldn’t be very strong, at the very least the diary didn’t say anything about jumping out and punching him in the face when he directly met the other side’s frontal attack.

Saul didn’t rush to check the diary for new realizations, he walked over to the opponent’s body and squatted down to check the light green shoot in his hand.

At that moment, the diary inside his spirit body opened again and automatically flipped to the page that Herman belonged to.

The black pages revealed cream-colored, slightly messy writing, reflecting the urgency of its owner.

【Master, I recognize this person, he is a newly minted third level apprentice of Land Rowing Boat, majoring in earth element, his name is ……】.

Obviously, Herman didn’t remember.

“Forget it if you don’t remember.” Saul picked up a random dead branch from the ground and picked at the shoot in the corpse’s palm, “Do you know what this is in his hand? Is it a sorcery prop or his unique sorcery?”

[Neither, master. This is one of the three types of magical creatures kept by the Landwalker, the Lost Soul Flower].

“Magical creatures bred by the Land Rowboat?” Sol repeated in a low voice.

[The Land Row Boat got its start by using these three means of raising magical creatures.]

Herman, as a former Land Row Boat’s head third level apprentice and one of the frigate’s captains, naturally knew the Land Row Boat well.

He even knew some of Land Row Boat’s deep secrets.

He explained the three types of demonic creatures to Saul.

The first one, and also the most numerous one, was called the Slender Ghost Shadow. It was equivalent to a land traveling boat’s beaters, but also very good at tracking and observing because their necks could stretch several hundred meters. Their main body was a kind of shadow, so they could also enter and explore narrow areas that were difficult for many people to enter.

Saul had encountered slender ghostly shadows before. At that time, he had just entered the second level, and almost lost his life to the Slender Ghost Shadow in the Valley of the Drooping Hand, but later relied on the Phantom Sound Pupil and Xiao Zao to kill him.

The second type of magical creature that Land Rowing Boat raised was the Thousand Eyes Demoness. Their bodies were full of eyes. When they hid their extra eyes, they could be used as normal beauties, but when they opened their eyes, they could emit blinding light and affect the operation of a person’s spiritual energy. At the same time, with so many eyes open at the same time, they could also see many areas and things that were difficult for normal people to see.

Thousand-eyed banshees were much rarer compared to slender ghostly shadows, and most of the time, they could only be seen by full-fledged sorcerers on land rowboats. Instead, like the Slender Ghostly Shadow, as long as one was a third level apprentice, one could have one in hand.

The last type, and the rarest, was called the Lost Soul Flower.

It is said that there is only one plant in the entire Land Rowing Boat, and the one that is taken out and used like this is just a seed of the Lost Soul Flower.

This kind of seed was generally unable to develop for a long period of time, and was only a disposable item.

“I just sensed that this seed left a mark within my spiritual body when it touched it. Could this be the use of the Lost Soul Flower?”

[This is its marking function, just one of the most basic functions of the Lost Soul Flower. Once marked by it, it leaves an imprint on both the seed and the Lost Soul Flower there. It can be traced. If the mark gradually matures, it can even affect your sanity, master.”]

Sol blinked, “How far can it influence? Will it change my memories?”

[…… It’s not that powerful, or else the Land Rowers wouldn’t just be a merchant-type wizard organization.]

Then it seems there’s no way to compare it to the Nightmare Butterfly.

Also, if Land Row Boat could control the Nightmare Butterfly, it could completely become an organization not weaker than the Sorcerer’s Tower in the Western Continent.

Sol nodded, “Is this seed still useful?”

[There is still some energy, but its mark, it seems to have been wiped out by your diary, master].

Herman was actually a bit shocked. Normally, they couldn’t see what was happening in the outside world until Saul actively used the diary or allowed them to come out.

It was only before he approached this land-walking third level apprentice that Saul had taken the initiative to activate the diary so that the four of their consciousnesses could act as advisors to him.

Without letting Saul down, Herman recognized the other party as a Land Row Boat as soon as he opened his eyes, and even voiced out in the moment of urgency to suggest that Saul try not to touch the shoots of the Lost Soul Flower.

It was just a step too late, Saul’s tentacles were still touched by the shoots, but what Herman feared didn’t happen.

The moment the seed left its mark on Saul’s spirit, it was “killed” by the diary.

This also made Saul realize that if he really let a few people to be his own counselor in the battle, in addition to the need for them to understand the enemy’s situation, they also need to let them know a little bit about their own situation, or else it will be easy to accidentally provide the wrong intelligence information.

But these could be done later.

A light yellow root stuck out from the ground and nudged the tip of Sol’s shoe.

“It looks like the guests in Castle Black have been dealt with as well.” Saul let the small algae roll up the body of the intruder and turned toward the castle.

“The Devil’s Vine is not a bad fighter.”

Herman: [Master, in fact, it may be the reason why the slender ghostly shadow’s combat power was greatly reduced after losing its controller].

Sol: “…… Oh.”

Agu, who was quite hilarious in his diary, hated to reach out and slap his face, and rushed out.

Agu: [Master, the Devil’s Vine’s main role does not lie in combat, it actually mainly plays a role of surveillance and warning. Those who can guard the Black Castle, whether it is you or the previous Mochi Mochi are all sorcerer apprentices with extremely strong combat power, and general enemies are still not a problem. If you encounter a situation that you can’t handle, you can ask for help from both Desert City and the Sorcerer’s Tower at the same time.]

Herman: [Yes, yes, master!

Instead, Saul asked suspiciously, ”But after Lady Yura made me the temporary owner of the Black Castle, she didn’t tell me the way to contact the Sorcerer’s Tower and Desert City. Do you guys think that she doesn’t have the time, or is it just that she doesn’t have the time?”

There was a moment of silence from the several Consciousness Bodies.

Agu: [Master, I’m not too sure about the situation on the Black Fort’s side, but for so many years, the Black Fort has always been able to liaise with the Sorcerer’s Tower remotely. It’s just that most of the time, it’s the Sorcerer’s Tower that passes some information over, and it’s not very likely that the Black Fortress will take the initiative to contact the tower. It’s also possible that the cost of contacting the tower is too high.

In the end, it was Anne, who rarely spoke, who opened her mouth.

An: [Master~ Actually, I know a little bit about the situation of Mrs. Yura].

At this time, Saul had already walked back to the Black Castle, and the gate automatically opened, presenting a mess all over the place.

Heads with long necks were intertwined with dark green vines. Some were hanging on the wall and some were hanging down on the ground.

Most of the vines and heads had stopped moving. Only a few vines were still twisting and winding slowly, as if they hadn’t slowed down from the battle they had just fought.

“What do you know?” Saul said somewhat absently as he pushed aside the heads and vines blocking his path with his foot.

“I know that Lady Yura majored in the dark attribute during her lifetime, and at the same time, she was also very fond of cultivating some demonic creatures. The Devil Vine under the Black Castle and the Soul Devouring Devil Swamp under the Sorcerer’s Tower were both originally planted by Lady Yura.”

Saul’s footsteps lurched, failing to take the original distance.

“Snapped,” trampling a dried-up head.
