Chapter 306.
Chapter 306 Return
Before Rokai and the others even appeared, Saul appeared at the other entrance of the Sorcerer’s Tower.
This passage could not be traveled, but it could directly enter the fifth floor of the east tower of the Sorcerer’s Tower.
Back then, Mentor Kaz had personally led him through it once.
Saul’s entire body was hidden in his wide cloak as he slowly moved forward, keeping an eye on every corner in the ramp.
Not encountering anyone else along the way, Saul arrived at the 5th floor of the East Tower fairly smoothly. Upon arriving here, he looked at the upward and downward passages, thought for a moment, and chose to go down.
For the sake of grinding the Sound Fruit and the imprint in his body, he hoped that the first person he would contact when he returned to the Sorcerer’s Tower would be the Tower Master.
Other than the Tower Master, anyone who tried to approach him could be the maintainer of the Lost Soul Flower imprint.
To meet the Tower Master, Thor has the option of traveling up to the 19th floor – he has access to the Tower Master’s private library there.
Or go to the second library and ask the Tower Master himself to come down.
After comparing the distance and safety of the two, Saul felt it would be better to labor the Tower Lord.
Since he didn’t know how long it would take for the people guarding the entrance to the Sorcerer’s Tower to realize that he wasn’t in the carriage, Saul once again quickened his pace.
Now that the time was approaching six in the afternoon, most of the apprentices were wandering around the library, the registration room, and the various laboratories on the sixth floor, and Saul walked downward, meeting fewer people the further down he went.
However, when he came to the second floor of the East Tower, he accidentally met Cullom, who had just walked out of the second corpse room.
This first level apprentice had taken over Saul’s job in the corpse room in the first place, and had provoked Saul with his companion goblin when they first met.
But today he actually walked out from Hayden’s second corpse room ……
Saul subconsciously glanced at the interior of the second corpse room, and didn’t see anyone else, only a few corpses hanging in mid-air by ropes, windless.
Although Kulom was a little curious about the sudden appearance of a person on the second floor of the East Tower, he did not steal a glance at the face under the cloak.
The longer he stayed in the Sorcerer’s Tower, the more his initial impulsive arrogance was washed away, learning what it meant to be careful with his words as well as restraining his curiosity.
Who would have thought that the person in front of him would stop in front of him, his body not turning around, but his voice coming through.
“Where’s Hayden?”
“Senior Hayden?” Only then did Cullom raise his head slightly and glanced at Saul, “He applied to leave the tower early for a month and is no longer here, I am currently in charge of the second corpse room.”
Surprisingly, he has already left the tower?
Saul nodded his head in a raw manner, ignoring Kulom and walking straight into the dark corridor.
Kulom, on the other hand, stood still and waited until Saul’s figure could not be seen in the corridor before he raised his head and looked deep into the second floor of the East Tower.
“That one just now, it seems to be Senior Sol.” A mud monster-like companion goblin was attached to Kulom’s head, and the two of them synchronized their expressions, both with wide eyes and slightly open mouths.
“Oh my, he’s changed so much, his aura feels stronger. He wouldn’t have been promoted to a third level apprentice already, would he?”
After Kulom finished speaking, he himself shook his head in denial, “Impossible, impossible, how long has he only entered the second level?”
But denying it with his mouth, he inwardly determined that Saul had already been promoted.
“Ah, I also want to become such a powerful apprentice and then be seen by the tower master and taken under his tutelage. Gua Gua, do you think I have a chance?”
The companion goblin above his head jumped in place, calling Kulom, who was caught up in his fantasies, back to reality. The boy immediately followed suit and jumped a bit, “Oops, still have to go change the materials, if I’m late my sister will rot.”
Saul wasn’t aware of the shock of the merely level one Kulom, who was still surprised by Hayden’s sudden departure.
“When other people accept a little brother, the other party is just nodding their heads in obeisance, how come when I want to accept a little brother, the other party rolls up early and leaves?”
He shook his head and pushed open the door into the second storehouse with a complicated mood.
After nearly a month, he finally returned here. He also wondered how the senior who took over his job in the first place was doing?
In the storehouse, the apprentice who had taken over Saul’s job was holding up a lamplighter and maintaining the number of candles in the storehouse.
Upon seeing the other party’s face, Saul was a little surprised.
“Kujin?”
Kujin saw Saul with a slight sideways glance, and just nodded slightly before turning back to continue lighting the candlestick.
“Wait for me, these candles aren’t very honest today, they need to be mentally sustained to keep them from going out again.”
Kukin had worked in the second storehouse for many years after all, and was very experienced in doing his job.
A few of today’s candlesticks always went out from time to time, and the number of burning candles had almost dropped below ninety.
Kukin carefully lit the candles and guarded the flames from going out immediately. It was only because he was experienced, if it were anyone else, at this moment, I’m afraid that his hands would already be in a mess, sweating profusely.
At the same time, as the former treasury administrator who had been robbed of his job by Saul, Kukin also had the intention of showing some performance in front of Saul.
But he who was trying hard to maintain the flame didn’t notice that Saul’s first reaction to seeing the number of bright candles had already lowered to the realm line was to scan the group of corpses that were standing neatly.
Then Kujin, who was lighting the candles, realized that his work suddenly became incredibly easy and smooth.
Each candle was lit at once, and there was no need to stand guard and wait for several minutes to see if the candles would still go out quickly.
He lit twenty candles along the way, and then put down the lighter, reviewing the much brighter hall with a bewildered look on his face, feeling as if what he had just experienced was a dream.
“Looks like the crisis has been lifted, worthy of Elder Ku Jin.” Saul smiled faintly and genuinely complimented him, then walked through the corpses towards his lab bench with a steady pace.
His eyes swept over the cabinets and tables, confirming that the seals he had left behind when he left were all still intact. The mental imprints he had left on them were unchanged as well.
“Do you need to check again? I can hand it over anytime.” Kukin followed along carrying the lamp lighter, with a vaguely smug smile on his face, clearly having just lit more than twenty candles in a row, making him slightly excited.
“Alright.” Sol turned to look at Kujin, pulling the cloak off his body with one hand, “But how do I remember that I wasn’t handing over to you when I left the tower?”
Kujin did not get nervous, he very skillfully placed the lamplighter and took out the treasury registration manual, “The apprentice who handed over with you found Mentor Kaz after three days of work and voluntarily gave up the task.”
Saul did not understand, “Why?”
Kukin moved and froze for a second before handing the manual to Saul, “Not everyone dares to face their mentor directly. Especially since he was unlucky, just three days after he arrived, he was called over by Tutor Rum and Tutor Anze to deliver materials. In the end, he was also forced to help out at Tutor Anze’s place for an afternoon, and it was said that when he came back, he was dying.”
This wasn’t the case when Saul worked at the second depot, often only encountering a task once a month, to the point that he sometimes forgot that he still held a job.
He secretly pondered, “The newcomer just took over my job, and was scared off by the mentors …… Could it be that they are doing it on purpose, wanting to change someone to be in charge of the treasury work? Could it be that Kukin …… is the maintainer of that seal?”
