Chapter 317 – The Sorcerer’s Tower is in your hands.

Chapter 317: The Sorcerer’s Tower is in your hands
Byron told Sol, “Once you become a 2nd level apprentice, you need to find your own locator, because only by having one and agreeing with the locator’s interference with one’s magical spirit power can you initially fuse the locator. And only then can you learn 2nd level sorcery.”

Learning a 2nd order sorcery was the standard for becoming a 3rd level sorcerer apprentice.

The prerequisite for learning a 2nd rank sorcery, on the other hand, was that one had to initially fuse one’s locator.

This fusion was not as thorough as Saul’s integration of his diary into his mental body, but only a conceptual, willful recognition.

Byron told Saul that the reason why he had been wasting away at the 2nd level for more than ten years was because he had never been able to fully recognize his own locator.

He always felt that his locator did not match his path.

And Saul’s first witch body transformation gave him a great touch, causing him to think differently and finally recognize the relationship between himself and his locator, finally breaking through that invisible barrier and allowing the locator to stabilize.

From that time onwards, he was finally able to control his skin freely, and he didn’t need to “pull his voice with a knife” to speak.

“But it’s even harder to advance to a full sorcerer at the third level. In addition to the extremely high requirements for magical power and spiritual power, advancing to full sorcerer requires the integration of your locator into your spiritual body. Not integration in a completely material sense, but rather the establishment of a solid spiritual connection. Only then can the locator protect you from contamination when you come into contact with dangerous knowledge.”

“Let me recognize my locator, I barely did. But let me fuse my locator with my spiritual body …… I really don’t have a clue.” Byron said so.

Saul could see that the way Byron chose to integrate the evil spirits into his body and try to forcefully connect the locator to his spiritual body was just a head iron move of breaking into the south wall after begging for help to no avail.

But this path might not necessarily not work.

How many people in this world could rely on their diaries to figure out the right path, just like Saul?
Just like that very famous saying in his previous life, “There was no road in this world, but the more people who walk it, the more it becomes a road.”

Byron was now trying to step through the thorns and find a path.

When they were stuck in the second level apprenticeship, anyone who was thinking about it would just have to go further and make sure that they wouldn’t go crazy anytime after the age of thirty.

However, after entering the third level, one would still want to advance to a full-fledged sorcerer. After all, the level of life is not the same when one reaches a formal sorcerer. Life span could also be extended in various ways.

That was how greedy people were, but greed was also one of the driving forces for people to progress.

“My locator is quite a powerful one among ordinary apprentices, but it’s also very difficult to advance in promotion because of that. Saul, I don’t know what your locator is, but I’m sure it must be very special. That’s why it will also be more difficult for you to fuse your locator.”

“Just like Kong Sha, the talent she showed at first made everyone think that she would quickly be promoted to a third level apprentice, and then become one of the strong contenders to be the next official sorcerer. But her locator is too powerful and too special, causing her to now probably not even be able to advance before the age of thirty.”

Byron’s face once again wore a despondent expression as he spoke, just as it had when he mentioned Nick’s death.

“She’ll be ……29 turning thirty soon. If she fails to advance to the third level, her special yet powerful locator will in turn become a source of danger. And more dangerous than any other failure.”

Seeing that Byron was a bit down at this point, Sol really had no way to take the initiative to say that he had already completed the fusion, and the rest was water under the bridge.

“Not to mention that, the locator thing all need to feel their own future path, this I can not help you. But for this period of time for sorcery selection, magic power enhancement, and spiritual power exercise, I already have some experience, you can refer to it.”

Saul nodded his head in a hurry, what he needed was precisely these words of experience.

The two chatted for an afternoon, and Saul even took out a piece of paper and took quite a few notes.

And Byron wasn’t exactly a knowledge exporter, some of Saul’s whimsical ideas and experience feedback also benefited him a lot.

This was mainly due to the fact that both of them also majored in the dark attribute and both dealt with evil spirits and grudges.

If other people were discussing together, there was still the possibility of misleading each other.

After this afternoon, Saul also settled down. He no longer waited anxiously for his mentor to reply, nor did he wonder who exactly within the Sorcerer’s Tower would be the inner circle of the landwalker.

He began to meditate more intently, as well as parse the new 2nd rank sorcery.

It wasn’t until half a month had passed that he was once again brought into that dark room on the 21st floor by the sudden appearance of Golza. “Sit down.” Golza still sat himself first in the opposite corner of the room as he did last time.

Saul was not polite this time, the two were already in a clear mentor and apprentice relationship, it was more appropriate to show some intimacy.

He also sat down against the wall, but his movements were not as relaxed.

When Sol sat down, he vaguely saw Golza across from him extend his hand, and then a little halo appeared on its fingertips.

Golza’s fingers flicked, and the halo left his fingertips and slowly floated over this narrow room.

Thor subconsciously followed and looked up, then saw the top of his head.

His eyes widened instantly.

The ceiling of this room was unexpectedly filled with a whole wall of carved human faces. These human faces had no eyes, no mouths, only noses and ears.

They had different silhouettes and different forms. Some were half-hidden under other faces, while others stretched out their necks to protrude a piece.

Because there were no eyes or mouths, Saul couldn’t distinguish their expressions. Just from their distribution and movements, it looked like a group of people trapped at the bottom of a well, densely packed together, and then looking up at the sky.

Just like Saul looking up to open his eyes at them.

“Those, are the people who were swallowed by the Sorcerer’s Tower.” Golza saw that Saul had been tilting his head, so he followed suit and raised his eyes upwards.

Sol averted his eyes with difficulty, trying to focus himself on Mentor Gortha.

Golza, however, continued to gaze calmly overhead, “I think you have more or less guessed that the Wizard’s Tower is also alive.”

Startled, Thor quickly lowered his head, thinking, “No, I didn’t guess in that direction.”

“It is a transformed being, one of the cornerstones upon which my family has built its reputation and taken over a side of the world. The transformation was inspired by the rock giants, though of course the exact material composition of it did not have rock giants in it – it was too fragile.”

Yeah, a rock giant is too weak, a rock giant that punches a full-fledged wizard is too weak.

Saul felt like his eyes were turning into equal numbers.

He had heard that Golza came from a very powerful sorcerer family from another continent, but he hadn’t expected it to be this powerful.

“Ah, let’s not talk about that. Did you suddenly look for me with a new discovery? I’m sorry, I wasn’t in a good state these past two days, so there was no way I could meet you.”

“No, it’s okay. Mentor, are you physically alright?”

“It’s been getting more and more unstable lately.” Golza didn’t gloss over it, he withdrew his gaze from the ceiling and brought up his physical condition, his voice still as gentle as water, “I think I might not last much longer.”

Saul was startled and nearly jumped up from the floor, “Mentor ……”

Golza raised his hand, and an invisible force pressed Saul back down.

“There is no need to be nervous. There’s no problem holding out for another ten years without any surprises.” Golza smiled, “Before that, I want you to help me finish the experiment. When I have to leave ……”

He raised his hand to tap on the wall.

A dull echo came from the wall.

“…… This wizard’s tower is yours to inherit.”
