Chapter 328 – An Advanced Spell Formation

Chapter 328 – Advanced Spell Formation

Dusk, mountain forest, lakeside hut.

Saul had already closed the door to the dark room by now and reinstated the hidden spell formation above.

Now he was sitting on the only plank bed on the second floor of the cabin, scrutinizing the sorcery spell formation he had just transcribed.

And on Saul’s left hand side, the notebook that recorded the original soul extraction spell formation was spread out.

“Why is there a spell formation like this here?” Saul was certain that this new soul extraction spell formation had been highly improved.

Not only could it now extract the spirits that created ordinary people’s grievances, it could even extract the spirits of sorcerer apprentices.

“If we follow this spell formation to create grudge spirits, with the right materials, we can even create evil spirits in a stable manner. My initial guess was wrong, and I thought that it was some disenchanted banished apprentice who was undead enough to stay near the Sorcerer’s Tower to continue living. But now it seems clear that this place is the stronghold of someone, or even a force. Hiss ……”

Saul stood up, he heard a commotion outside and immediately went downstairs, and just as he opened the door, he saw the Mushroom Chevalier, who had rushed back, holding a scroll and preparing to come in.

Seeing Saul, the cart driver immediately said, “My lord, I brought the agreement.”

Saul took the scroll and unfolded it, there was no information about himself left on it, the stagecoach house didn’t even have his name on the scroll, it just said that the person who holds the scroll is the long-term tenant of the house.

Mundane agreements naturally have no binding effect on wizards, and the stagecoach house obviously knew this and did not even bother to verify the identity of the wizard.

The wizards who are not poor in money basically pay rent for ten years. After ten years, if the wizard who rented the room is still there, then they will send someone to renew or terminate the contract.

Saul read the agreement and nodded in satisfaction, then said to the carter, “Go find a place to stay in town, and just come over every three days to deliver food.”

The mushroom coachman raised his head and carefully said, “My lord, I can stay in the carriage so that if you have any orders, you can call me immediately.”

But Saul firmly shook his head, “No need, it’s easy for me to accidentally hurt you here with my experiments.”

The coachman did not say any more, nodded his head sharply, and seeing that Saul had no further requests, he excused himself and drove away.

What Saul didn’t know was that he didn’t stay in the outpost town, but stayed in an uninhabited mountain forest a mile from the town.

He also planted a few white mushrooms nearby.

Although he was originally just an ordinary person, after several trips to the Black Fortress Forest, he had already gradually departed from the range of ordinary people under the influence of the power of sorcery.

Holding the scroll in his hand, Saul walked inside the room and casually threw it to the corner of the room.

For a moment just now, he wanted to leave, or rather run away, this abandoned lakeside cabin might still be hiding a lot of trouble.

But after seeing the scroll, Saul changed his mind again.

He knew that the spell formation hidden in the lakeside hut was an upgraded version of Mill Sail Town. And this spell formation was obtained by Shelly, the wandering wizard apprentice of Mill Sail Town, a few years ago.

After that, Shelly had started to frantically use living girls to create grudge spirits in an attempt to use it for promotion.

But it was obvious that someone was lying to him.

Saul suspected that the person who deceived Shelly was the creator of this spell formation. And he told Shelly that the spell formation could help him advance to second level apprentice, and he was afraid that it was just to use Shelly to experiment the efficacy of the spell formation for him.

Saul took out the improved version of the Soul Extraction Spell Formation again, ”The person behind the scenes should have discovered the flaws of the spell formation through Shelly’s experiments and made changes. However, there is one strange point, although this improved spell formation has been able to extract the souls of sorcerer apprentices, but after calculating the materials it consumes it is very uneconomical, and is not as good as the original soul extraction spell formation.”

“Could it be that it was because the input value of the improved spell formation exceeded the output that it was abandoned here?”

Regardless of whether the creator of this spell formation had truly abandoned it or falsely abandoned it, Saul was prepared to act as if he hadn’t discovered anything and see if someone would secretly retrieve it.

So for the next two days, Saul didn’t start his experiment right away, but instead had the small algae resettle its branch at the lakeside hut.

At the same time, he himself also set up defensive sorcery spell formations, making a show of being stationed here for a long time.

In addition, Little Algae also dove headfirst into the small lake next to him in the course of his underground exploration. This lake seemed to be connected to some underground waterway, looking shallow but deep in reality.

And Little Algae gripped out a few corpses at the bottom of the deepest lake, among which there were even two sorcerer apprentices’ limbs.

This also confirmed that someone had used the spell in the hut by the lake to conduct an experiment to extract the souls of sorcerer apprentices.

At the same time as the action of expanding the territory of the small algae, there was also Saul’s own experiments. He had rearranged the consciousness platform spell formation in the largest room on the second floor of the hut.

After two days of remodeling, this new lab already had an additional set of tables and chairs, and several cabinets placed against the wall.

Some of these things were acquired by Saul by having the mushroom cart driver go to town, while others were made from local materials by himself, and then had them assembled by Algae.

Now that the spell formation for the consciousness platform had been built, a new experiment could begin.

Saul stood to the center of the spell formation and took out a bottle of reagent, “This is the last of the Sound Grinding Fruit Extract. If we can’t find a new source of Sound Grinding Fruit, or a substitute, the research of the ‘Consciousness Battlefield’ will have to be temporarily suspended.”

Sol tilted his head and swallowed the potion.

Within the space of consciousness, there was still an endless black starry sky surrounding the huge circular platform.

One by one, the four bodies of consciousness flew out of the diary in Saul’s hand and landed in front of him, bowing in unison.

“My lord!” *4
Then the four people assumed four saluting poses ……

Saul, whose emotional fluctuations had been suppressed to the extreme, expressionlessly allowed them to salute, “After this time, the Consciousness Platform Formation may not be able to be opened for a long period of time.”

Four different expressions appeared on the faces of the four consciousness bodies again.

Saul didn’t care about their moods, his icy cold eyes swept over the four, “So this time, I will try to bring one of you out.”

“Take out?” Agu’s heart fluttered, “Master already has a plan?”

Sol turned his head to stare at Agu, “No, only an immature vision. Moreover, the potion in my hand has already been used up, so whoever is taken out by me this time will have to be prepared to never come back, and those who stay behind will not be able to enter the consciousness platform again for a long time.”

The platform immediately quieted down, and the original few foolish minds were all honest.

Just as Sol was calculating in his mind who to take out, a person took the initiative to step forward.

Herman took a step forward, ”Master, if you are trying out an experiment this time, I suggest you bring me along. This way, in case something goes wrong during the experiment, the damage to you will be minimized.”

When these words came out, all four of Saul looked at him with some surprise.

Herman was a bit nervous, he understood that his coming forward now was equivalent to being a live experiment in the beginning stages of an experiment.

The danger was quite high!

But there was nothing he could do about it.

Though Saul never said anything, he knew it was a pure fluke that he survived.

The main reason Saul kept them around was to use them as a reservoir of knowledge. Perhaps the master would have other plans in the future, but as of now, Herman was the most useless one.

Agu had been the administrator of the Wizard Tower’s library, and that status alone meant a great deal of knowledge.

And Morton was even a second-ranked wizard from a hundred years ago, even if his power was greatly reduced now, the knowledge a second-ranked wizard possessed was not something Herman could imagine.

Ann, who originally didn’t have much of an existence, also gradually awakened after fusing the evil spirit consciousness, compared to Saul who would like to continue digging secrets from her later.

As for Herman himself, he was neither majoring in the dark attribute nor merely a third level sorcerer apprentice, even the only secrets he knew about landwalkers had all been told to his master.

His only remaining value is to play a part in the construction of his master’s “battlefield of consciousness”.

The experiment was indeed dangerous, but within the danger lay opportunity.

If he can seize this opportunity ……

Herman met Saul’s gaze, “Master, I will carry out all of your will, and even if my consciousness is depleted, I will not take half a step back!”

There’s more in the evening.
