Chapter 316 – Laboratory Assistant
Chapter 316 – Experimental Assistant
The fourth black page in the diary was originally in tatters, after replenishing the Grievous Hand and a small amount of Angela’s soul energy, it turned into a brand new page, and the body of consciousness within it transformed into a new personality, Ann.
But this new personality was obviously not fully integrated and stabilized yet. She was silent most of the time. Saul knew that Ann was struggling to stabilize her perception of herself, so he wouldn’t intentionally disturb her. Just in case the fusion failed and ended up turning into a mass of monsters.
And now the flaws of the unfused were revealed.
There were always some inexplicable memories in An’s head, some of those memories had clear sources, and some were just some broken fragments.
She very often needed to deliberately ignore those memories, or else she would easily fall into a distorted, confusing mess that she couldn’t pull herself out of.
Thanks to An being in the middle of a diary, she was able to keep her mental state stable at all times.
Otherwise, a hard-wired combination of three fragmented consciousnesses like this would have exploded in the inevitable conflict.
“The fragmented evil spirit consciousness came from the basement of the Ralph Bloodthorn family.” Saul thought to himself, “And the diary also came from there. It’s evident that the evil spirit’s origin is not ordinary. I still need to let Ann recall it sometime, so I might be able to unearth more secrets about the diary.”
But for now, Saul had no intention of pursuing the matter, he just made a mental note that Ann was familiar with the implied terminology of the Lost Soul Flower, and that she might have had dealings with the Landwalker.
An ordinary friend wouldn’t have learned such confidential information.
Saul smiled easily, his heart was relieved.
Even though he had not found the bugs in the Sorcerer’s Tower yet, being able to know the hints that the other party intended to drop on himself would allow him to be on guard in the future.
Sooner or later, he would be able to uncover the person.
“That’s all for now on this matter. I will tell my mentor about what I found within the corpse and the fluctuating values of this spiritual power. As for how far the mentor can investigate …… we’ll just continue to follow the arrangements.”
I guess with so much evidence, Golza would be more careful even if he was conceited, right?
Saul had grown up under Golza’s mentor’s secret promotion and cultivation, and although the other party’s education mode was more on the side of herding, Saul was still grateful to him inwardly.
Otherwise, he was afraid that he wouldn’t even have the chance to enter the Corpse Room’s work. Not to mention undergoing the sorcerous body transformation that could be called a change in his destiny.
“Something can’t happen to the Sorcerer’s Tower, or else I’m afraid that all the apprentices here will be caught up in this conspiracy against their mentors.”
A familiar and affectionate face emerged in Saul’s mind, as well as his experiences within the Sorcerer’s Tower over the years.
“Although this place is cold and unforgiving, it is also providing me with a foothold.”
Sol walked over to the lab table, picked up the summoning pen once again, and called out to Tower Master Golza, who had just been separated for less than half a day.
Because the unknown controller behind the scenes was at stake, Saul did not write out the specific matter, only writing that he hoped to meet with his mentor again.
Such a message naturally seemed less urgent.
Sol was also prepared for the fact that it might be some time before he could meet the tower master.
But he didn’t expect to see his new mentor again after half a month this time.
Saul wouldn’t talk to anyone about it until he waited for Golza himself, so he continued his apprenticeship normally.
Only that he now had an extremely high level of research in addition to his work in the second storehouse.
Who would have thought that an apprentice sorcerer who had just advanced to the third level would be able to participate in an experiment of such a high level as resurrection.
After a few days of thinking and judging, Saul quickly decided on the entry point for his research – he chose the soul infusion that he was most familiar with, and the vessel for the infusion was also the human body that he was familiar with.
For this reason, he purposely applied to Mentor Rum for the cooperation of a Level 2 Apprentice in Soul Infusion, and Mentor Rum agreed without any hesitation after hearing about Saul’s idea.
And the best part was that all the experiments concerning the circular laboratory did not require Saul to spend any money of his own. It s just that the timing of Saul s request was not very good, the previously created artificial second level apprentice was either already dead or was involved in other experiments that could not be separated, and the new artificial second level apprentice …… his soul had not yet finished grinding with his physical body.
Because the gender of the soul and the physical body were not the same in the soul infusion experiment, this could help the spirit body stay in the body, but it would also cause a strong cognitive difference.
They had conducted many experiments before, and there were several times when it was clear that the infusion experiment had been successful, but it resulted in alienation at the last minute because the consciousness could not accept the new body.
That’s why when Mentor Rum selected the candidates to participate in the experiments later on, he would pick some apprentices who already had problems with their minds.
Because of their debts, they often didn’t care about the small matter of gender transformation.
But none of the second level apprentices created in this way could last more than three years. After a long period of time, the soul and the flesh would repel each other.
If they were forced to remain together, the end result would be the collapse of the soul and the dissolution of the flesh.
But despite this, the soul infusion experiment was one of the closest to success out of the many experiments.
Therefore when Saul approached Rum, the other party provided him with many facilities, and also told Saul to go to him for any problems he encountered.
And for the first time, Saul also saw what Mentor Rum, who had put on a mountain of weight, looked like when he smiled.
Kind …… and dangerous.
Anyway, it was the first time that Saul saw the waves of flesh on Mentor Rum laughing as well.
He said a hasty goodbye to Mentor Rum and went back to the second storeroom to wait for the experimental subject, oh no, the assistant, to come to his door.
The following days entered a period of eerie calm.
The person behind the Lost Soul Flower did not make any other moves, and with the mentor not coming, it seemed that the assistant that Sol had applied for would have to wait for some more days.
The work in the treasury remained pitifully low.
Senior Byron came to see him once, seemingly to confirm Saul’s status after entering the third level apprenticeship, and shared with Saul his learning experience after entering the third level.
This was mainly because Byron owed Sol credits again. Other than these experiences, he had nothing to show for the time being. After all, as an apprentice of the Tower Master, Saul was hardly lacking in experimental materials.
And although some of these learning experiences shared by Byron were not suitable for Saul, they could still provide him with references.
The knowledge that Byron spoke about was very detailed, mostly in areas that the mentors could not cover. Especially the knowledge about advancing into a full-fledged sorcerer.
Saul’s two current mentors, one was not online and the other did not dare to cross the line, resulting in him not even understanding how a third level apprentice could advance into a full-fledged sorcerer yet.
Of course Saul was actually in no hurry to learn this knowledge. He had only entered the third level, and had just learned the 1st 2nd order sorcery from advancing into a full-fledged sorcerer, I don’t know how many more years there are to go.
Even if his locator was already in place, his own conditions, such as magic power, spiritual power and knowledge reserves had not yet reached the standard.
These were all things that needed time to be honed.
And he couldn’t use the Sorcerer Body Transformation to rapidly increase his magic power and spiritual power now like he did in the past.
When he completed the transformation of the Spirit Devouring Ester, the grade of the materials he came into contact with had already exceeded the range of materials that a Level 2 Apprentice would originally be able to apply for. This resulted in the materials he was able to get around him after entering the third level being exactly the same as they were originally, which meant that Saul was temporarily unable to make a sorcerous body transformation that was more advanced than the Spirit Devouring Ester.
A leveled sorcery body transformation was simply unnecessary, and it also hurt his body and money.
