Chapter 296.
Chapter 296 Old Business
“Is Komoro …… also planted by Mrs. Yura?”
Little Algae seemed to hear Sol calling it, leisurely burrowing out from the back of its neck, looking left and right, and realizing that Sol was just standing still and seemed to be in a daze, it turned to Sol and “poofed” and poked its tongue out at him.
Saul quickly raised his hand, pinched the upper and lower jaws of the small algae, with unparalleled accuracy, its mouth clamped on the tongue, and watched the black tongue twitch, this time laughing softly and letting go of the small algae.
Algae’s ghost face was forced to interrupt, but also by Saul back to play, angry shrink back. Before shrinking back, it didn’t forget to pull back, once again sticking its tongue out at Sol.
In the process of playing with Xiao Zao, An told Saul: Soul Devouring Demon Marsh is a kind of earth-attribute magical creature, it’s not quite accurate to say “species”, but it was indeed one of the “dowries” brought by Mrs. Yura.
Agu, a former librarian, testifies.
Agu: [It’s true, master. Not long after Mrs. Yura came to the Witch Tower, she opened an underground laboratory and cultivated many magical creatures, but most of them were unsuccessful. Later on, after Lady Yura died, the underground laboratory was also abandoned].
Undeterred, Anne turned the pages of Agu’s book over.
AN: [Master, at that time, I was still a living apprentice, and happened to experience that dark period of Lady Yura’s death. On that day, the tower master suddenly lost his temper …… hiss ……]
Sol could see that Ann would still be fearful as she reminisced.
Ann: [Many people died that day as well. There were wizards from the Duchy of Khema, and also some wizard apprentices …… We have never seen the Tower Lord lose his temper that much. It wasn’t until the evening that we heard people say that the Tower Lord was seen walking out of the underground laboratory with Lady Yura in his arms].
AN: [But Lady Yura’s head was already gone. The only thing the Tower Master was holding was a headless corpse. Since then, the underground laboratory has been abandoned.]
Saul stroked his chin and suddenly said, ”Little Algae had been staying in the underground lab before, and stayed there even after the lab was abandoned. Do you guys think it would know how Mrs. Yura died?”
The topic had shifted from whether or not Mrs. Youra had intentionally punked Saul to the cause of her death.
But it wasn’t off-topic.
If we could find out the cause of Mrs. Yura’s death, we might be able to understand exactly what she was trying to do now.
Maybe it would also tell – what Golza was trying to do again.
Saul knew that his remaining ability to observe history would not last for a few more days.
He had originally thought of using the last of it on his diary. Then he thought he could use it on his close friends, the kozo.
Now, after suspecting that Komoro might know the reason for Yura’s death, Saul made up his mind to observe Komoro once he finished cleaning up the Black Fortress!
Anyway, if he used his ability to observe history on the diary again, he probably wouldn’t be able to see anything.
Saul had already given up on observing the history of the diary for the third time.
However, apart from observing Komoro’s history, there was another way for Saul to understand why he was attacked tonight.
“Tonight has already welcomed the first guest and captured the second, I just don’t know if there’s a third guest.”
Carrying the corpse of the landwalker sneak attacker, Saul took one step down into the underground wine cellar, and drilled into the underground passageway heading to the Devil’s Vine’s underground rhizome again.
[Hello again, Lord Sol.
As soon as the Devil Vine sensed Sol’s proximity, it hastily sent out a greeting.
At the same time, a thigh-thick black tentacle grew out of the wet and muddy ground, and they swayed as if greeting Sol.
“Devil Vine, how many years have you been under the Black Fortress?”
[My concept of time is not that clear.]
“Then do you know how the Black Fortress contacts the Witch Tower?”
[I’m sorry, I’m not really sure.]
Thor wasn’t exactly disappointed as he dropped the body of the sneak attacker on the floor and leaned casually against the wall.
He ordered in his mind, “Diary, let the black pages of that sneak attacker come out.” The diary unfolded within his mental body and flipped to the fifth black book page.
“Who are you and what is your name?”
[My name is Cadiz, I am a third level sorcerer apprentice of the Landwalker. What is this place? Strange, why don’t I have any memory of how I got in here.]
“Your purpose for being here.” Sol had no intention of leaving Cadiz behind.
Maintaining these bodies of consciousness was in need of spiritual power from Sol.
If questions were not asked of the consciousnesses within the black pages, it would be possible to maintain them for longer. However, if one could not consult the questions, what was the need for Saul to keep a body of consciousness that was not important?
And Cadiz’s function was basically a duplicate of Herman’s. But it was clear that Herman, who had become a frigate captain, was more valuable, and that Herman knew more information.
[I was taking over my mentor’s mission and came over to mark a quasi-third level apprentice named Saul. But I seem to have failed in my mission. How am I going to explain it to my mentor when I go back?]
“A quasi …… third level apprentice?” Sol turned his wrist, “Not many people know about this yet, Lady Yura is one, and Archduke Kira should be able to see it as well. Some of those third level sorcerer apprentices in the Khema Duchy at the time may have found out as well.”
After all, third level apprentices were different from second level apprentices, not only did they have locators, but they could already perfectly combine them with their own mental bodies.
The stability of their mental bodies was much stronger than the average second level apprentice.
After thinking about it, Sol continued to ask, “Do you know why Sol was marked?”
[Mentor said I don’t need to know the reason.]
“Surely cannon fodder? Don’t even know the purpose of the operation. Then how are you going to lay down the marker?”
[Just let the seeds of the Lost Soul Flower touch his mental body.]
“What about after planting the mark, did your mentor explain what you need to do after your mission is successful?”
[My mentor said that if my mission is successful, I will leave a mark at the entrance to the Black Fortress Forest. At that time, someone else will naturally come and take over the mark. Strange, I’ve obviously planted the mark, so why did the mark fail again later? Could it be that the energy of the seed has run out?]
Is there even a third person?
But this time the diary didn’t remind.
However, Saul quickly figured it out.
To draw out the third person, he needed him to be marked by the seed. But with the diary around, that mark obviously couldn’t remain. That is to say, the mark wouldn’t be successful, and the third person wouldn’t appear anyway, I’m afraid.
But since Saul could learn the whole story from Cadiz, even if the third person didn’t show up, it wouldn’t cause things to go in a very bad direction.
Thinking like this, Saul finally felt a little more at ease.
Regarding the new type of hints from the diary he hadn’t conducted any statistics or experiments yet, and he didn’t know what kind of bad consequences would eventually trigger the diary to come out with hints.
Most likely it would be a consequence that led to death after a much longer period of time. But this longer time was only longer in comparison to the previous crisis that would come in a few minutes.
Saul felt that, analyzing the previous characteristics of the diary, it had evolved from a crisis of a few minutes to a few hours at most.
“If the seal is taken over, what might he do?” Saul suppressed the idea of starting his research now and continued his “torture”.
[…… I don’t know. This is also the first time I’ve taken over the seeds of the Lost Soul Flower. Previously, I was only a third level apprentice with the lowest status, and I was only recently promoted by my mentor.]
Sol rubbed the corner of his forehead.
“How come this Cadiz doesn’t know anything? What did his mentor promote him for? Promote him as cannon fodder?”
I can’t believe I forgot to post this last night!!!
I’m sure I didn’t get in the habit of updating at night and went straight to bed ……
