Chapter 308 Prying

Chapter 308 Prying
Faced with the black shadow that suddenly appeared between Golsa and himself, Sol’s heartstrings immediately tightened and he almost released a Spirit Armor Technique. However, thinking that the tower master might be checking his spiritual body, he hastily relaxed his spirit again.

“The diary has no hints.”

Saul was a little nervous.

The diary had become his locator, further deepening the connection between them. He wondered if Golza would notice the diary’s existence if he utilized special means to observe his mental body.

But in the face of the black shadow that was getting closer and closer, Saul could only choose to continue to believe in the diary’s ability.

The black shadow was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was already standing directly in front of Saul.

His figure was slender, yet as thin as a piece of paper.

For a moment, Saul even thought that this was Lady Yura, who had been put inside Golza’s body. When Lady Yura appeared in her shadow state, she was also such a paper-thin silhouette.

But he quickly dismissed his thoughts again.

This dark shadow in front of him gave off a completely different feeling from Lady Yura.

It wasn’t grumpy or angry, it just stood there peacefully and quietly. As it tilted its form forward to look down at Sol, the silhouette vaguely overlapped with Golza’s.

But it was not Gorsa.

For the Tower Master, himself, was still seated in the corner opposite Thor!
The dark figure gazed at Thor–though Thor could not see the other’s eyes–and continued to lean forward.

Its movements were slow, but as it drew closer to Thor, the world before Thor’s eyes began to morph.

Saul stares intently at the black shadow, but over the course of time, Saul’s eyes gradually focus on the black shadow’s face.

The black shadow became clearer and clearer in Saul’s eyes as the scene around him blurred.

The room in front of him in the afterglow was stretched by an invisible force, and Golza, who was only two meters away from him, was already ten meters away.

“Is this room …… this big? Or is my vision distorted by the effects of sorcery?” Saul thought vaguely.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn’t remember what was wrong. The black shadow that was getting closer and closer in front of him attracted almost all of his attention.

Now he no longer had the energy to think about why the wall to his side had become curved, and when the tower master in front of him had become so far away that he couldn’t see his figure, he only wanted to look at the black shadow in front of him, looking at it carefully, expecting to be able to distinguish the other person’s facial features in a blur of darkness.

Yes, Saul felt that he was about to get a good look, as long as the other person was a little closer, a little closer ……

“Clatter ……”

Suddenly, the sound of turning pages snapped Saul out of his obsessive deciphering mindset. With a jolt, he finally noticed that the diary within his mental body was turning over.

The diary was just flipping the white pages, not stopping to reveal the text.

It was not warning.

“This is not a crisis warning, but the diary is helping me stabilize my consciousness!” Saul, who had come to his senses, immediately realized that the diary was now performing the duties of a locator.

The awake Saul also realized that his mental body was now in an extremely scattered state, and even though his consciousness had returned to normal, his mental body still had not tensed up.

Right now his mental body was like a mansion whose owner had left but forgotten to lock the door, as long as someone noticed the place, they could walk in with great generosity and explore all the rooms, and in the meantime, carry some more valuable things away!

“This must be the Tower Master’s ability. It seems to anesthetize my consciousness.” Thor thought to himself, a little anxious, but his reaction seemed to be half a beat slower.

The black shadow was still slowly approaching, and the world in front of him was still indefinitely elongating, the end of the room was already a hundred meters away from him.

“The closer this black shadow gets to me, the longer the world in my eyes is stretched. And this level of distortion is growing exponentially. If it continues to get closer, I’m afraid the room in my eyes will become hundreds or thousands of meters long.”

“If it touches me, will the world I live in …… become an infinitely long branch?”

“I can’t let it touch me!”

Saul could hear his heart beating like thunder, the sense of crisis had never been clearer.

It wasn’t a death crisis, but a cognitive breakdown.

Although Saul was clear about what would happen after the black shadow touched him, it definitely wouldn’t be good! If he didn’t die, he was afraid that he would go crazy!

But the diary remained unresponsive.

This was the first time that Saul’s own intuition frantically called for help, but the diary did not respond. Seeing that the black shadow was already only one or two centimeters away from him, Saul’s sluggish brain finally remembered to run away.

Even though this room was actually very small, he had to struggle one last time, even if it was only a few centimeters!

“Back up, back up, back up!”

Saul desperately told himself to get out of the way, like a person caught in a nightmare desperately telling himself to wake up.

With his constant efforts, his neck finally moved.

It tilted back slightly, allowing Saul s head, away from the black shadow …… by a centimeter.

But it was also this centimeter of retreat that caused the black shadow on the opposite side to suddenly stop moving.

Then, like a spring stretched to its limit, that black shadow violently straightened its waist.

It was also at the moment when the black shadow leaned back and stood straight, the world in front of Saul’s eyes contracted with a bang and instantly returned to its original state.

The moment the vision was restored, the black shadow also disappeared.

The Sorcerer Tower Lord, Golza, was sitting quietly in the corner of the wall two meters away.

It was as if nothing had just happened.

“Your locator is very good, but what surprises me more is your will, which is still as tenacious as the night we first met.”

Thor gasped slightly, but that was as far as he could go in trying to control himself.

He silently put his hands behind his back and tugged at the top of his shirt that was adsorbed with sweat.

It had been a long time since he had sweated like this.

“Tower, Lord Tower Master, just now, what was that just now?” Saul’s voice was still a little shaky.

“Observe your mental body and see if there is any abnormality as you said.” He leaned his arm on his knee, “But just now, your locator blocked my line of sight, and as a result, there was no way to see through your mental body, so I didn’t find any abnormalities.”

The diary blocked Gortha’s snooping?
Sol was a little surprised.

Either the diary had protected him too well, or the imprint of the Lost Soul Flower had been planted so deeply that in order to find the imprint, one would have to turn his mental body over and over again.

But it was also possible for others to see through Sol’s hidden secrets.

So the diary had to step in to stop the prying eyes even for the sake of self-concealment.

“But wouldn’t this make it impossible for the Tower Master to confirm the Land Rowboat’s plot?” Sol’s eyes darkened, “I can’t just tell him that I was planted with the mark of the Lost Soul Flower.”

Sol shouldn’t have even heard of the name Lost Soul Flower.

He could only nod and thank the tower lord, “Thank you, Lord Tower Lord, I guess I was too sensitive.”

“No, I trust your perception.”

Who would have guessed that Golza, who found nothing, affirmed Saul’s intuition, “The fact that I didn’t find it this time instead shows that the other party’s means are not low.”

Sol heard a soft laugh, “What is the most skillful thing that the landwalkers have, but it is just their reliance on the Lost Soul Flower.”

Success!

Sol raised his head in feigned surprise, “Soul Loss Flower? That name sounds like it’s for souls.”

Across the room, Golza slowly stood up.

The posture in which he stood was also strange, he did not use his hands to support himself, nor did he retract his ankles, he just directly, as if a balloon figure was filled with air, stood up.

Saul vaguely saw him craning his neck.

“Indeed, but more accurately, the Lost Soul Flower is directed at consciousness.”

I didn’t finish it, so the next shift will be at night.
