Chapter 336 – Arming the Spiritual Body
Chapter 336 – Armed Spiritual Body
It was just a pity that regardless of whether Saul’s guess was right or not, this power could not be applied to other consciousness bodies at the moment.
But this did give Sol a new thought.
“From the results of my experiments so far, the body will reject souls that don’t belong to it. This repulsion doesn’t exist in one part alone, but throughout the body, in every inch of skin, in every bone. It’s like the memory of the original soul is engraved in the genes.”
This part was a conjecture that Sol had recorded in his previous notes.
But this conjecture was not well verified, and even Mentor Golza might not be able to explore the information on the genetic level.
Besides, Saul couldn’t even verify whether genes existed in this world.
He just named this underlying basic information that existed in the cells as genes according to his memories of his previous life.
However, although he couldn’t verify the principle of this conjecture, he could summarize the apparent information that the body was able to feed back based on this conjecture.
“If I can measure the characteristics of the souls that a vessel can adapt to-let’s name it as soul parameters for now, then can I cover the souls with a shell that is adjusted to correspond to the soul parameters, so that they can be able to live peacefully in the vessel?”
It’s like giving an outsider a key to open the door.
By figuring out the shape of the right lock and creating a corresponding key, you can allow others to enter the room.
This is how Saul generates experimental ideas based on his own experiences.
Only he was different from the others.
Everyone else had a ready-made key, while he had a master key in his hand.
Such an experiment that targeted both the soul and the container was certainly not something that Saul could accomplish on his own.
However, there was a whole team behind him.
As long as the preliminary idea of the experiment was submitted and approved by Mentor Golza, it would be possible to apply for personnel and financial support.
There might even be other mentors who would participate in his experimental program and listen to his scheduling command ……
It was great to think about it!
Saul calmed down and brought himself back to reality. Right now this was all just conjecture, and he needed to have a preliminary experimental data at the very least to convince Mentor Golza.
“Now there’s another serious problem, I don’t have the Sound Grinding Fruit in my hand anymore, if I can’t find a stockpile, or a substitute, I might not have a way to enter the consciousness platform again in a short period of time.”
Thinking of this, Saul asked Penny, “Since you know all about the Consciousness Battlefield, then the Consciousness Platform should also have some understanding, right? I’m now lacking the Sound Grinding Fruit, a key potion to stabilize my emotions. Since you have a portion of Penny’s memories, do you know where else the Sound Grinding Fruit exists?”
Who would have guessed that upon hearing Sol’s question, Penny was the one who lifted her wings and flew up until she was at eye level with Sol.
Her voice was full of pleasure, and she was also a little bit proud, “Brother Saul, with me here, what need is there for the Sound Grinding Fruit? Have you forgotten that I am the best at controlling other people’s consciousness?”
“Oh?” Saul raised his eyebrows, knowing that this was the second time that the Nightmare Butterfly had shown its ability, he pretended not to believe it and said, “Didn’t you say that you had already lost most of your power? Didn’t you say that you could no longer control other people’s perceptions? Why can you do it again now? Are you lying to me?”
“No, it’s not, brother Saul, how dare I lie to you.”
Penny’s voice suddenly dropped another octave.
“Wasn’t I restricted by your diary? Actually, there is a part of my ability that is locked up by the diary. But, um, as long as all brother you relax some of the diary’s restrictions on me, I can use part of my abilities oh, just relax them a little bit.”
Penny followed up with, “But don’t relax too much, or I’m afraid that all the memories I once had will come back and I’ll die again!”
Is this begging Saul to continue sealing it?
Saul nodded in understanding, “I see. It’s good that it’s not lying to me, I can’t stand it when my possessions lie to me.”
“No, don’t dare.”
“Then let’s get back to the original topic. I relax the restrictions on your abilities and you help me stabilize. How will this stabilization take place? How long will it last?”
Penny said somewhat sheepishly, “Just let you have a dream. As for the time limit, in my current situation, about …… ten minutes?”
It worried that Saul would find it too short. But Sol was nodding, “Enough.”
He currently only needed to be able to steadily enter the consciousness platform to bring people out, or replenish their energy.
This was the most urgent, and the other experiments could be carried out later by all means.
“Next, go to the lake house and check it out, and by the way, check if you’ve caught the owner behind that house. And then after that ……”
Sol thought for a moment, “Take a trip to Bluewater Bay. My stored soul fragments are no longer that sufficient, and I’m also interested in the phenomenon of soul tides. Could the dead of a hundred years ago have a surprise like Morton’s?”
……
Half a month later, Blue Water Bay.
Saul stood on the deck.
It was a bit windy today, and regular passengers were no longer allowed to stay on the open deck.
They were basically enclosed in specific crystal glass enclosures, carefully sticking their necks out and looking out over the sea of clouds beyond the ship’s side.
Yes, a sea of clouds, not blue waves.
Where Saul was staying now, it was an airboat.
The power and levitation of the airship came from the propulsion spells at the bow and stern, and the huge balloon overhead, respectively.
The propulsion array was not uncommon, like the land boat sailboat that Saul had once captured had this kind of device on it. Some sorcerers would also inscribe this kind of formation on their sorcerous props used for fast traveling.
What was less common was the overhead balloon.
It was a huge balloon made of leather with biofilm embedded in it, and it didn’t rely on hot air from combustion to keep it afloat, nor was it the usual hydrogen.
Instead, it was a special gas invented by wizards. This gas had a very low density and was also an inert gas, non-flammable and non-explosive, and the only drawback at the moment was that it was expensive.
That’s why those who can travel by airship are either rich or noble. Even the average wandering sorcerer couldn’t afford to spend money to take a ride.
They preferred to choose the primitive, slow but inexpensive horse-drawn carriages for transportation.
The fact that Saul was able to ride on this airship was entirely due to his mentor Golza’s light.
This airship was produced by the Baidon Academy located in the southwest of the Western Continent, and the balloon overhead was also their exclusive technology.
However, the people of the Baidong Academy would reserve a spot for Golza on every airship, and even if he didn’t ride it even once a year, he wouldn’t sell that spot to anyone else.
And with a handwritten letter from Golza’s mentor, Saul would be able to take a free ride on this airship across half of the western continent.
It would only take three days to cross a month’s journey.
At the same time, as a third level sorcerer apprentice, he could also walk on the outer deck without worrying about the weather conditions outside.
Limited by energy consumption considerations, this airship was not considered very large. The most luxurious cabin was also small in size, and with all the extra decorations inside, it was even more closed.
Therefore, no matter day or night, Saul almost stayed on the deck, enjoying the real wind and clouds. Letting the gusts of wind make his cloak rattle, he was unwilling to shrink back into the warmth of his glass enclosure.
Such a Saul was naturally seen by those who were interested.
A middle-aged man wearing a straight blue and white uniform against the gusty wind, one hand holding onto the fixed railing on the deck, one hand deadening his hat, slowly approaching Saul.
“Greetings!” The man opened his mouth, trying not to choke on the wind, “I’m Captain Harry of the Bluebird. I see you’ve been looking at the balloon overhead, are you interested in the gas inside?”
