Chapter 349: Come and get it

Chapter 349: Come and Get It
The temperature in the room plummeted.

The cordial and pleasant atmosphere just now suddenly shattered like a mirror, revealing the reality behind it.

Sol froze for a moment, subconsciously craning his neck to look at Mentor Kaz.

However, Mentor Katz was just expressionless and silent.

It was only then that Sol recalled that although Mentor Rum had just been in a good mood, Mentor Kaz hadn’t seemed to smile much.

There was even an agitated mood on him.

“There must be something going on that I don’t know about!” Saul withdrew his gaze and bowed to the two mentors one by one, then left Mentor Rum’s room.

And until he walked out of the door, he did not hear Tutor Rum and Tutor Katz speak again.

“Something must have happened! Why couldn’t you tell me? Or why can’t I just wait for Tutor Golza to tell me?”

Hayden was waiting for Sol at the 16th floor ramp of the East Tower.

But when he saw Sol and greeted him, the latter paid no attention to him and just walked downwards with heavy thoughts.

This made Hayden tense up along with him.

Although he was surprised that the soul infusion regular tests had suddenly stopped, when he thought that Saul was even able to perform soul infusion independently, he naturally had more confidence in his heart than the other experimental subjects.

Moreover, when he looked at Saul, the latter nodded to him with a calm face, which also made Hayden feel more at ease.

However, he didn’t expect that when Saul came out of Instructor Rum’s room, he also behaved in such a grave manner, and Hayden’s heart immediately “thumped”.

“Lord Saul?” She couldn’t help but jog two steps and followed.

Saul stopped, combed through his thoughts, and said to Hayden, “You should go back and rest first, even though the wound is healed, it’s not appropriate to join a new experiment right away.”

“Okay.” Hayden nodded repeatedly.

“By the way, go back and review your skills in the necropolis by the way.”

Hayden froze, his wooden expression looking even dumber.

“Starting tomorrow, you’ll be participating in the experimental tests against Aman as well. You’ll be in charge of observing and recording at that time, and I have other things to do.”

Hayden finally responded, but again she was a little uneasy.

“My lord, my hands may not be as steady now as they were before.”

Saul nodded, “I know, but don’t forget that when I asked you to follow me, I didn’t really ask you to be an experimental subject. You’ve lost your first precious thing, don’t let the second one get rusty as well.”

After he finished, he didn’t wait for Hayden, who was frozen in place, and quickly walked down the East Tower.

And Hayden was still in place silently saying, “The second …… lord said should be the ability I honed in the corpse room for more than ten years. But what is the first valuable thing?”

Hayden thought about it for half a day but couldn’t figure it out.

Saul let Hayden go back on his own, in addition to thinking about that last message revealed by Instructor Rum and Instructor Kaz, was trying to find someone.

Tutor Rum had revealed to him, consciously or unconsciously, that Soul Infusion had once used the eyes of the Land Rowing Boat Thousand Eyes Banshee as a material. However, because Golza no longer traded with the Land Rowing Boat, the original material could no longer be used.

Coupled with Rum’s behavior of uncovering the experiment’s skull today, Saul instantly thought of Konsa who only had half of her head left and whose new head was full of eyes.

Ever since Kongsha had gotten the news about the elves at the exchange, Saul had hardly heard from her again.

But judging from Haywood’s reaction when he tried to stop it at that time, Kongsha was afraid that she was going to do something very dangerous.

Just don t know if she succeeded, or …… died out there.

Saul lightly and familiarly came to the dormitory area of the second level apprentice, he raised his hand, “knock knock knock” knocked hard on the door of Kongsha’s room.

But after waiting for a while, but no one came out.

At that moment, someone came out from a nearby room door, and when he looked up, he saw Saul waiting at Kongsha’s door.

“Ah, Sol …… senior.” The other party was a bit hesitant at first, but he still took the initiative to greet them.

Saul looked sideways and was surprised to see an acquaintance.

Monroe, a second level apprentice who had mastered almost all the 0th order sorceries and numerous 1st order sorceries. To this day, he was still giving new apprentices lessons on basic universal cognition.

A level 1 apprentice once called him a “walking knowledge base”.

However, it seems that he has been spreading his energy too thinly on expanding the breadth of his knowledge, and Monroe hasn’t been promoted in the past few years.

In addition, he hardly participated in any activities other than reading books, so he was actually a rather transparent existence amongst the high-level apprentices.

On the contrary, Saul had actually long been biased. However, the speed of his progress was evident to all.

Becoming a third level apprentice within three years, this speed had already broken the record of the Sorcerer’s Tower.

It was already legendary among apprentices.

It was just that Saul rarely came into contact with other apprentices, and the people he usually saw the most were corpses and mentors, neither of which would show much surprise at his rapid progress.

“Elder Monroe.”

Saul didn’t hold back, Monroe had answered many questions for him – though they were paid answers – but Saul had respect for any seniors who had helped him. “Are you looking for Konza?”

“Well, I have some questions for her.”

“She has been away from the tower for a long time. Long enough for some to suspect she’s dead out there.”

Sol sighed.

He’d had that suspicion, too.

If Konza had really gone to the “Elf Valley” that Billy had mentioned, she might not be able to come back.

She wasn’t getting any younger now, only a year or half a year before she turned thirty.

Risking her life to go to the Elven Valley was probably her last chance to advance to the third level.

Kong Sha was not in the tower, and there was no one responsible for answering the questions Saul wanted to ask.

Thinking of this Saul looked up and said to Monroe, “Thanks a lot.”

Saul was about to turn around and leave, but Monroe called out to him.

“Saul, Konza had gone to look for you before she left. But you didn’t seem to be around at that time, so she asked me to give you something when I met you.”

“Hand it over to me?” Saul was a bit surprised, he remembered that after he traded Elven Whispers with Kong Sha, the two had barely crossed paths, and the other party had come over to find him before his departure?

If it was before today, Saul probably wouldn’t have wanted it at all, but having just done the soul infusion experiment, Saul was really a bit curious about Kong Sha’s situation.

“What is it? Let’s see.”

Saul didn’t reach out, he wouldn’t necessarily accept something from Kong Sha.

Monroe then dug and dug in his clothes.

Saul frowned darkly as he watched, “What is it that Monroe is carrying around?”

“Huh? Where did it go? I remember putting it right on my body.”

Monroe rummaged around his entire body for a while, but surprisingly did not find it. As a matter of fact, this kind of thing shouldn’t happen to an apprentice sorcerer who was strict in his dealings.

“Maybe I left it in the dormitory. Why don’t you come into the room with me and have a look.” Monroe raised his head to invite Sol into his dormitory.

Saul’s feet stopped in place just as he took a step after Monroe.

Monroe heard the footsteps not follow and turned back with his hand on the door frame, “What’s wrong?”

Saul smiled, “I’d better wait here for Elder.”

Then he added, “Actually, I don’t really want to accept Kongsa’s gift.”

Monroe seemed to have not expected Saul to say this, standing still with only one eye showing because of the cover of the gate.

That eye looked fixedly at Saul for about three seconds.

The atmosphere became a bit strange.

Saul raised his hand, his ten fingertips facing each other, not afraid, and looked back at Monroe just as quietly.

Then Monroe moved suddenly, stepping into the room then rummaging quickly.

After about half a minute, Monroe’s surprised voice came from the room.

“So here it is.”

Then Saul heard a strange “cooing” sound, and he suddenly took two steps forward, coming straight to the door of Monroe’s quarters to look in.

He saw that Monroe’s hand had just dropped from his face and happened to be looking at him as well.

Monroe was still holding the eyeball that had been roughly removed from its socket.

The eyelid had been roughly torn, and blood was quickly flowing halfway down his face and blotting his collar again.

Saul raised an eyebrow.

If Monroe was going to hand him an eyeball that had been pinched until it was deformed …… he wasn t going to take it!
But instead, Monroe just looked down at the obviously broken eyeball and casually threw it to the ground, then raised his hand again and stuck two fingers into the empty, bloody eye socket.

The friction between the fingers and the muscles lubricated by the blood, once again issued a strange “chirp” sound.

Then he pulled his fingers out of the socket, as if squeezing something at the tips.

Just “as if”.

Because at the tips of Monroe’s two fingers, they were empty, simply nothing.

Monroe turned to Sol and slowly straightened his arms.

“Here, come and get it.”
