Chapter 341 Contacts

Chapter 341 Contact
Saul lowered his head, “What’s your name?”

“Bambu,” the boy’s voice began to trail off as his courage ran out, “Back to my lord, my name is Bambu.”

“Bambu, becoming a wizard’s apprentice is not always a good thing. Half of those who entered the Wizard’s Tower in the same class as me are no longer in this world. Half of the remaining people have also been missing for a long time.”

Bambu’s mouth dropped open.

He was obviously not in touch with the cruelty and brutality beneath the majesty and nobility of a sorcerer.

The wind poured into his mouth and Bambu choked.

“Go back.” Saul said again.

Bambu’s eyes reddened as he felt he had just disappointed his lord with his reaction.

But he no longer had the courage to plead with the sorcerer lord in front of him again.

Although he saved himself, although his tone was gentle, although he let himself stand up and speak ……, he was a sorcerer after all.

The boy left in disappointment, and Saul returned to the beach, gazing at the skyline that was blurring more and more under the cumulus clouds and gusty winds that disturbed it.

The sea was rising.

Especially as the night deepened, it rose somewhat alarmingly.

Saul was originally standing four or five meters away from the sea water, but in an instant those waves started licking the soles of his shoes.

A single grayish-white palm crept into the foam of the waves, hooking its fingers and trying to pull this ungrateful man into the deep sea to drown.

In the next second, a black tentacle stretched out from the palm of each of Saul’s hands, slowly dropping into the seawater at his feet through the cover of his wide cloak.

After the black tentacles reached into the seawater, they were like dark seaweed sinking up and down in the water.

Afterwards, the pale arms hidden in the white waves abruptly disappeared, leaving only a bit of white foam, hitting the surface of Saul’s shoes, and unable to catch the leather inscribed with dustproof sorcery, it helplessly rolled down to the side of the sand.

The wind was still howling, but the rise of the sea seemed to have slowed down.

Or rather, becoming normal.

“I thought you were so kind as to take that boy in!” A voice with some frivolous laughter came from behind.

Saul slightly sidestepped his head and saw that the two wizards who had just hidden in the shadows had by now come up behind him.

The black tentacles quickly withdrew from the seawater and quietly shrunk back into Saul’s palm along the cloak.

There were indeed soul fragments in the seawater, and it was also the radiation released by these soul fragments that caused many bizarre situations to appear in this sea.

But compared to Xander and Bambu’s experience, it was a little less interesting.

According to their descriptions, there shouldn’t be only a few soul fragments here.

Fewer than ten spirits wouldn’t necessarily have this kind of horror.

There would have to be at least one evil spirit to match the rumors.

Because Saul hadn’t said anything, the woman behind him snorted coldly, “Hmph, worthy of being an apprentice coming out of the Sorcerer’s Tower, how arrogant.”

Saul had just mentioned the Sorcerer’s Tower when he spoke to Bambu, and this woman was afraid that she had overheard their conversation.

The spiritual power fluctuation coming from the other party was only that of a second level apprentice, and she dared to talk to Saul like this, most likely relying on the taller male apprentice by her side.

Saul slowly turned around, “I saved him, and he answered my questions. This is an equal exchange.”

“An ordinary person, in exchange for a 0th order sorcery? Your magic is cheap enough.”

“Shut up, Andy.” The man across from him finally spoke.

He looked down, at Saul’s gray face, “You are Saul, aren’t you?”

Saul narrowed his eyes, “You know me?”

The male sorcerer apprentice nodded, “I heard Jero mention that he has an apprentice named Saul who has been taken in by Sorcerer Gorsa. He always wanted to invite you to join him on a quest, but you never said yes.”

“Indeed there was no time.” Sol casually explained.

The male apprentice across from him wrinkled his eyebrows for a moment and then loosened them, “Interested in working together?”

“I’m Parker, level three, and this is Andy, level two.” The taller male apprentice introduced briefly, “We’re here for Soul Tide.” Saul noticed that the female apprentice, Andy, immediately tensed up when Parker mentioned cooperation. She didn’t seem to want Saul to join.

“You ……,” Saul carefully felt the magic power fluctuation emanating from the two, “Shouldn’t you be majoring in dark attribute?”

Things that could not be seen or touched like soul tides were usually only more interesting to apprentices who majored in light and dark attributes.

“Indeed it isn’t. Your spiritual power is really as sharp as Jero said. We waited for the Soul Tide to appear because we wanted to track one of the ships inside.”

“A ghost ship?”

It wouldn’t be an undersea shipwreck treasure hunt, would it?

Off to the side, Andy dropped his eyes, visibly upset.

“Pretty much. But there’s no precious treasure, just a few grudges. If there was something good, this place would have been surrounded by all the major wizarding forces long ago.”

The sea water had already gone past the ankles of the three.

Saul noticed with his afterglow that on the surface of the water, there was something strange about Andy’s shadow.

Her body was normal, but her shadow reflected in the water looked like a blurry oil stain.

And that oil stain was drifting away little by little with the ebb and flow of the sea water, gradually spreading towards Saul’s side.

“Forget it, I won’t be here for long.”

Parker raised an eyebrow, although he hadn’t told Sol just what there was to track down on the ghost ship, a normal person would be curious to ask and see if it was worth the trouble.

What he didn’t realize was that Saul was just going to give up after a moment of thought.

“Worthy of being an apprentice of a second-order sorcerer, it seems that you can’t see past these small profits.”

Being refused by Saul dryly, Parker’s face didn’t look just as good.

Although Saul wasn’t afraid of the other party, there was no need to hold a grudge and wait for the other party to come out and trip him up at some point.

“I didn’t take that many days off.”

He didn’t have the ambition to crack the secrets of the soul tides this time, he just planned to take advantage of the tides appearing and cut a wave of leeks ruthlessly.

According to the experience of the snail-picking boy Bambu, the soul tides here usually appeared once or twice a month.

It hadn’t appeared yet this month. Now that it was late in the month, it should appear in the next two days.

This way, Saul should be able to make his way back before the end of the month.

But if he had agreed to work with Parker to go after some ghost ship, there was no telling if the return date would be delayed.

Besides, Saul was now the second storehouse of materials as long as he didn’t take them out to use them as he pleased, could any ghost ship not be compared to Golza’s material storehouse?
The most important point, Saul did not want to risk his life together with someone he met for the first time. Even if the other party is under the name of Jello.

Hearing Sol’s lack of cooperation, Andy smiled instead.

She twisted her head and tiptoed as if to whisper to Papak, but her voice was not lowered.

“I’ve long heard that the more talented and capable apprentices in the Wizard’s Tower are less free, but I didn’t realize it was true.”

As Andy spoke, her greasy shadow drifting across the water had slowly spread to Saul’s feet.

In the next moment, the greasy shadow touched Saul’s calf as a wave receded.

Andy squinted triumphantly over it, as if casually looking at the subject of the conversation after having finished gossiping about the others.

It was her special ability to explore information about the person she touched through the contact of the water-oil mixture.

She was able to be carried around by the mighty Puck all the time, and still had other cards besides her body naturally.

But when Andy’s eyes fell on Saul, his face instantly changed. The oily black shadows on the surface of the sea collapsed all of a sudden, no longer connecting.

Andy hastily stroked his hair, which had been blown by the sea breeze, and used this action to cut off the line of sight looking at Saul.

After that, she turned her head and leaned on Parker’s chest in a birdlike manner, withdrawing her prying eyes and never daring to look at Saul again.
