Chapter 351 – A Busy Snow Season

Chapter 351 – Busy Snow Season

The area where the Witch Tower was located was closer to the tropics. The snow season came later.

However, the snow season, or winter, in this world was also different from Saul’s original world.

In winter, it was up to the local wizards of the third rank or higher to decide if it snowed or not.

If he needed a humid environment for his experiments, it would be rainy even in winter.

If he needed a warm environment, even if it was freezing yesterday, the next day would make the flowers and plants bloom.

And the more powerful the sorcerer, the wider the area he could control.

The western continent currently had no third-order sorcerers because of the great war a hundred years ago, instead so the weather honestly followed the law of the seasons.

Winter snow fell one after another for three months, and then faded from the earth overnight.

The end of the snow season was as distinct as a knife cut.

In the year 317 of the Solstice Calendar, on the fourth day of the fourth month, Saul celebrated his third birthday in the Sorcerer’s Tower.

But the few people who knew about his birthday were either not in the Sorcerer’s Tower or dead ……

Saul naturally wouldn’t care if he had a birthday or not, in fact he didn’t even react to this day himself.

Today he was in the second storeroom, lying on the lab bench himself. And Hayden, who had rediscovered his skill level, was crouching to draw sorcery spells on the palms of Sol’s hands.

The sorcery spell formations were researched by Saul himself, and Hayden, whose theory was no match for actual practice, could only copy the spell formations he didn’t quite understand.

Fortunately, this guy’s hand was very steady, and when drawing complex patterns, it was better than Sol’s one-handed operation.

After tracing the last key node, Hayden just wanted to stand up, but because his legs squatted for too long, his knees went weak and he directly sat on the ground.

“It’s hard work, take a break.”

“Okay.” Hayden, who was originally struggling to get up, simply re-spread back on the ground.

She spread her arms and legs out and tried her best to relax her numb limbs.

Although she was already completely a woman on the outside, she was still a manly nature on the inside, without the slightest idea of reserve.

Saul turned and got out of bed, straddling Hayden’s jutting over thighs, and walked over to the lab table to replenish the spells in his hands.

Although Hayden already had the strength of a second level apprentice, his mental power was not up to par, so Saul did not give him the complete spell formation to inscribe.

With insufficient understanding, Hayden would not be able to complete the core part.

Even if he traced it as it was, he couldn’t.

“The snow season is over, and if I don’t get going, I’m afraid the diary is going to pop up and urge me to move.”

In fact, because of the diary’s distant death warning, Saul had wanted to head to the Elven Valley as early as the first day of the snow season’s end in the annual calendar.

But when it was time for him to actually set out, the diary again hinted in cryptic terms that he was not yet ready.

Being unprepared is a risk of dying in the Valley of the Elves, or missing out on a very important gain.

Yet the diary also refused to hint at what exactly he was missing.

Thor made many cranial attempts, coupled with his own analysis of the situation, and finally got the diary to change its prompts and obtain a solution.

He then spent another two months refining his thinking.

That was the two sorcery spells in the palms of Sol’s hands.

Saul had worked day and night and spent countless hours of effort to improve the consciousness platform spell formation.

Yes, he had shrunk the spell formations that originally needed to be drawn on at least four square meters of ground and inscribed them in the palms of his hands.

And he also split the spell formation into two and fixed them separately.

This way, if he needed to activate the spell formation, he would only need to replenish the complete spell formation by placing the palms of his hands in a cross shape opposite each other like clapping.

At the same time, he would then rely on the power of the Nightmare Butterfly Penny to help him eliminate distractions and instantly enter the platform of consciousness.

In the Consciousness Platform, Saul’s control over his spiritual power and body of consciousness was more comfortable, and the diary also transformed into a solid body, making it more convenient to manipulate.

Almost all of the elf props had the ability to shock one’s mental body. And without the protection of the mental body, a person’s consciousness could be tainted by the elf’s lure, leading to madness or even death. Instead, Saul’s consciousness platform was a special battlefield that could strip away the gap in physical strength. The diary’s ability could be maximized within it.

Saul’s mental body was also the most stable within the consciousness platform, and he could change his form almost arbitrarily without worrying about cognitive anomalies.

There were also four bodies of consciousness within the platform that could be transformed into actual battlefield strength, no longer verbal warlords.

This should be the preparation that the diary needed Saul to make as a way to face the rumored rather bizarre elven relics.

“Although the spell was designed and the diary didn’t warn us, it still needs to be actually tested a few times.” Sol looked up and around.

Through the gaps in the shelving materials, he could still see a body standing with its back to him.

“These guys look honest, but as long as there’s the slightest difference in my spirit body, they’ll immediately be able to feel their way over, more than a dog’s nose.”

After half a day, Saul perfected the last key point on the sorcery spell formation and slowly stood up, waiting for the magic flowing on the spell formation to smooth out, after which he still needed to soak in the medicinal liquid to fix the spell formation again and mitigate the loss produced by metabolism.

“Hayden, come over and dispense the potion when you’re rested!” Sol called out.

Although Hayden, who had already been an experiment subject for half a year, had regained the abilities he had practiced in the corpse room, the lazy personality he had developed over the years of hiding in the corpse room had also gradually returned.

Sometimes lacking initiative, he had to be instructed by Saul before he could move a bit.

This makes Saul slightly disappointed, and even sometimes prefer his second personality to come out to assist the experiment.

After all, that second personality was very proactive in every way. Although it was said that it wasn’t going to take it all, it was a true flavor to use in experiments.

Hayden, who was about to fall asleep on the floor, got up in a flash and rushed to the side to prepare the potion.

In fact, this medicinal liquid was also very important, relating to the durability of Sol’s palm spell.

However, most of the wizard’s potions, except for the finished medicine, needed to be prepared on site in order to achieve the highest efficacy.

Herman was not in the storehouse at this time.

To be precise he was back in his diary, as Saul played with his body for the nth time.

This largely stems from some of Saul’s bold ideas and attempts to defy attrition, and the body count in the second vault has been decreasing rather than increasing for decades.

Tower Master Golza didn’t care when he learned of this, he even thought that this was a normal indication that the experiment was making progress.

And in these six months, Saul could also feel the atmosphere in the wizard’s tower getting more and more tense. In particular, there seemed to be a breakthrough in the subject of the resurrection experiment on Mentor Rum’s side.

Almost all the tutors and apprentices in the entire Wizard Tower were mobilized to cooperate with Tutor Rum’s experiment.

Under Mentor Rum’s strict to almost harsh requirements, the hundreds of sorcerer apprentices were like gears biting together, running quickly.

On the contrary, Saul, who was once highly expected by the tower master, had been shrinking in the corpse room for half a year without moving, and hadn’t applied for any more materials except for Hayden, causing the other apprentices to talk about it for a while.

Only Saul didn’t care, doing his experiments step by step and improving his strength as he saw fit.

When he had brewed the potion and was wiping his hands with a cotton cloth, the transmission pen on the table suddenly moved.

“Could it be that the mentor has a mission?”

Saul tsked his mouth, he hadn’t received a mission in almost two months.

Although Mentor Rum’s side was busy as hell with the crowd, he didn’t use the materials in the second storehouse much.

Therefore even though the records related to the content of the experiment were not kept secret from Saul, he still had a half-understanding of what Rum was up to.

It was too complicated.

Even if the entire experimental formula was brought over and Saul was allowed to read it himself, it would take him half a month to decipher it.

The only thing Saul was certain of at the moment was that Mentor Rum’s experimental direction was completely different from his – the other party was targeting souls for remodeling!

Therefore after the summoning pen suddenly moved, Saul was still a little surprised.

However, when he looked at the parchment with some curiosity, he realized that there were only two large words on it.

“Come out!”
