Chapter 319.

Chapter 319 – A Covenant is Reached
Golza shows his hand.

He finally reveals the real reason for his concern for Sol.

However, his showdown really made Saul’s hands and feet go cold. For a moment, Saul had recalled the rough touch of black leather on the conveyor belt of the necropolis.

He gulped, his heartbeat slowly coming back to life after being shocked into a near standstill.

“It doesn’t have to be the worst yet. If my mentor really wanted to slice me up, there was no need to wait until this time, much less tell me now.” Saul tried hard to comfort himself and calm himself down, “In this world, out-of-body and possession are not rare events, I’m merely special in that I can ignore my body’s rejection, but this matter, if we talk about it, I can actually bring it to the table and study it together with my mentor.”

Saul’s brain was racing, and in the shortest possible time he had already decided on his next response.

“I-I didn’t mean it, I was in this body as soon as I woke up.”

Sol didn’t deny it, denying it in front of the fact that it had already been discovered would be looked down upon by Golza.

Might as well admit it in a terrified tone and admit something that wasn’t really important first.

“I’m not sure why I survived. I originally wasn’t a sorcerer either, just an ordinary person, I don’t even know about sorcerers, I come from a small town ……”

Golza casually waved his hand, “Heh, no need to talk about that, I don’t care about your past. On the first day I saw you, I confirmed that you are not a sorcerer. Although your spiritual talent is powerful, it is like a diamond in the rough unexplored. Since you are not a sorcerer, even if you turned out to be a king, it makes no difference to me.”

He stretched out his index finger and gently tapped it on his brow, “I even suspect that the specialness of your soul does not lie in yourself, but in the impact that this experience caused you after you left your original body and before you entered this body, which is also an ordinary person. Or you could also call it a kind of alienation that brings positive feedback.”

Saul’s mouth opened slightly.

He hadn’t thought about it yet.

He didn’t have the slightest recollection of his death in his previous life or his possession in this life, and he hadn’t thought carefully about why he had a powerful mental talent.

In his previous life, traveling through and being reborn was not a new term, and it was mentioned in countless novels.

However, most of the novels just used it as an opening line, and no one looked deeper into its principles.

As for the increase in spiritual talent, Saul had simply attributed it to the soul enhancement brought about by traveling through the world.

But exactly how it was enhanced, he had never considered.

This matter was too distant for him, without the strength of a fourth rank sorcerer or above, how could he possibly solve the riddle of traveling through the world?
But once he was reminded by Mentor Golza today, Saul suddenly realized that he was guilty of thinking like an authority figure.

In a world with many high-ranking powers, the matter of traveling through might not be considered rare. The only thing special about him was that he came from a world where the underlying laws were all different.

This world was too different from the wizard world, and if he wanted to go home, he was afraid that it was no longer a problem that could be solved by simple space travel.

Golza did not disturb Sol’s thinking, he knew that the other party had secrets, but for now, he was only concerned about what caused the specialness of his soul.

“I don’t remember the experience during this time.” Sol tried to recall the transition period between his past and present lives, but he couldn’t recall anything.

He didn’t know how he died or how he lived, and as soon as his eyes closed and opened, he woke up in this body that hadn’t cooled down yet.

“Of course, your original identity was neither a sorcerer nor someone with extraordinary powers, and it’s more likely a matter of probability that you survived in someone else’s body. Your memory loss should be a self-preservation of your conscious body.”

Golza laughed softly and shook his head, “There are still many kinds of gentle experimental methods we can use if we want to study the special nature of your soul. But if you want to trace the source of your specialness, I’m afraid your body of consciousness can’t withstand the hidden high level knowledge …… in that history.”

“Are you saying that if we study my experiences before I came to this body, it might cause a harmful impact on myself?” “That’s right, no matter if you came from a distant place or another world, the reason and experience of your soul traveling through space is knowledge that you can’t withstand. Even for me to try to explore it would be extremely dangerous.”

Golza narrowed his eyes, “But Saul, if the resurrection experiment still can’t be completed before I can’t hold on to it completely, I might have to take a chance on this dangerous knowledge.”

His meaning was clear, if he took it upon himself to explore Sol’s history, he would likely cause Sol irreparable harm, even lethal contamination.

Either he would complete the resurrection experiments that several of his mentors had been unable to accomplish for many years in the span of 10 years; or he would find out the special characteristics of his own soul and replicate them on Yura’s spiritual body; or he would transform into an experiment and endure the very dangerous research of others.

“I may not even have 10 years, and my mentor won’t choose to study the process of my crossing over at the last minute. His research takes time too. I may only have 5, or even 3 years left ……”

Though Golza didn’t say so explicitly, Sol knew that as a sorcerer, one had to always maintain a sense of urgency and vigilance.

In the face of such a pressing future and an unchosen destiny, Sol did not develop a sense of resentment.

The moment he decided to become a sorcerer, he already knew that screening and elimination were the main theme of the Sorcerer’s Tower. At the very least, Golza had also given him the opportunity to prove himself.

“I understand, Mentor.” Saul raised his head, and in his eyes was an inspired wariness, “I will do my best to assist you in completing the resurrection experiment.”

Golza’s eyes curved up again, “Very well. I also promise that I will have all my mentors fully cooperate with you during your experiment. If you can complete the experiment, or if your contribution in the resurrection experiment is large, I will protect your consciousness, not track down your past, and not disclose your secrets. This is an equivalent exchange …… huh, although you can’t refuse.”

Sol smiled back, “No reward, Mentor?”

Golza once again raised his hand to tap the wall at his side, “Reward I said at the beginning oh, if you don’t die, this wizard’s tower is yours.”

So it was waiting here!
A wizard tower ……

Saul also stroked the rocky wall on his side, for him who had no family power background, it was really attractive yet!

The pact is reached!

Even though the vest drop was already an established fact, Saul was still curious as to how on earth Golza found out that he was a traveler.

If there was another other powerful second-order sorcerer, wouldn’t they all be able to tell that his soul consciousness wasn’t original?

He had been up close and personal with Kira, had the other been able to tell who he was?

What about Kismet? Did he already know that too?
If one day he met a second-order sorcerer with whom he had no relationship, would he be carried directly to the lab bench by the latter?

“Mentor …… when did you realize that my soul was not this body’s own? Can other people easily see it as well?”

“I realized it the first day you appeared.” Golza’s tone was still gentle, it just sounded cool.

It was like the wind in early spring, warm at first, but actually still cold to the bone.

“The first …… day?”

“I was on night patrol when I suddenly saw a boy with a large gash on his head, walking muddledly through the West Tower.”

“That was you, Saul. You would have just entered this body at that time, body and soul not yet fully attuned, heh, I can see your spirit leaking out of your body every now and then.” There was a smile in Golza’s voice, as if he could still recall Sol’s helplessness and embarrassment when he had just crossed over.
