Chapter 396 – Seekers and Hidden Dangers
Chapter 396 – Seekers and Hidden Dangers
Xiao Zao, who had just awakened, didn’t realize what had happened.
It just went to tease the small butterfly that it could see and touch as usual, who knew that this time it would be able to bite the other side.
Looking at the Nightmare Butterfly that collapsed on the ground, its wings twitching, it turned its head towards Sol somewhat at a loss for words.
Saul touched the head of the small algae, “It s okay, Panny it …… may just be a little hard to think.”
After Little Algae swallowed the cryptocrystalline substance and fell asleep, Saul thought that it might undergo some changes. To be able to touch the nightmare butterfly is also considered unexpected and reasonable.
Saul also had the ability to touch the Nightmare Butterfly after receiving the gift from the half-elf. It was just that other than that, no other use had been found for it for the time being.
“Well, I apologize on behalf of Zo.” Saul held Penny up from the ground and realized that although she was wet, she didn’t have that sticky feeling of drool, but instead looked like small droplets of water condensing on a winter window.
“To make it up to you, I’ll give you half a cryptocrystalline mass.”
Upon hearing this, Penny immediately flew up from Sol’s hand and shrilled, “One.”
Saul smiled.
“Okay, half a pill, deal!” Penny instantly changed her words.
However, for the sake of tonight’s Dreamland Parade, Saul didn’t let Penny absorb the half of Cryptocrystalline Substance right away, so that it wouldn’t eat too much and fall asleep like Koho.
At nightfall, Saul returned to the dormitory next to Byron’s and went into a deep sleep.
Sleep, for many sorcerer apprentices, was a time-wasting action, and only after accumulating fatigue for a long time would apprentices take a nap to balance themselves.
Although there was no difference between sleep and meditation in terms of the degree of recovery of the mental body, and even meditation was a bit more efficient, waking up from a deep sleep would always give one a feeling of physical and mental pleasure.
Therefore, every apprentice would still choose to enter sleep once in a while. Together with those stewards and servants in the lower levels of the Sorcerer’s Tower, Saul wasn’t worried that the power of dreams within the Sorcerer’s Tower was too scarce.
When Saul opened his eyes again, there was a moment when he could barely confirm whether he was in a dream or not.
Because he was still lying in the unfamiliar dormitory, and the things around him were the same as before.
But when he sat up from the bed, he realized that there was an extra pair of silver butterfly wings behind him.
The wings looked like silver-colored metal that had been processed and carved, but when Saul reached out to touch them, he felt another layer of fine fluff on them.
Sensing the information in his mind, Saul controlled the wings behind him to slowly flap, and when he felt that he could already control them freely, he immediately flapped them at a high frequency.
He didn’t feel himself moving, but the scene around him was rapidly receding.
It was like sitting in a high-speed moving train and observing the railings and large trees outside the window rapidly receding.
The wings came to a sudden stop and he fell into a world of light.
There was haze everywhere, undulating and haloing each other. Aside from the haze, all that could be seen were a few small children lying on their backs sleeping in the halos.
These small children with human forms were most likely the consciousness of the owner of the dream world, and they seemed harmless.
Sol slowly flapped his wings this time as his body began to move, slowly approaching the infants in the haze.
When he got close to the group of infants, he realized that these infants one by …… one had no face.
Their bodies were all normal, only their faces, as if they had been erased by something.
Maybe it was a consciousness fluctuation under Saul’s shock, or maybe it was because he was too close, one of the infants moved a little, and then the head with no five senses turned toward Saul.
“It’s not Senior Byron.” Sol immediately made a judgment from the other party’s mental fluctuation, then quickly flapped his wings before all those infants turned their heads.
Rapidly flapping his wings was jumping between the dreams of different people, different consciousnesses.
Flapping his wings slowly was moving through the same dream world.
Although the legend of the Nightmare Butterfly was arcane, they weren’t without limitations, or else they wouldn’t have been chased up the ass by a second-order sorcerer.
They harmed people, or hurt people, mainly by changing people’s memories a little bit in a subtle way.
The main thing they rely on, and that’s the dream parade.
When the scene images around him stopped again, Saul saw two huge faces facing each other.
These two faces were so topsy-turvy that Saul flew for a while and only made it from his mouth to his nostrils.
“It’s hard to even tell what the faces look like when they’re this big.” While Saul was thinking about how to influence the other side, one of the faces suddenly opened its eyes.
He seemed to have noticed Saul’s presence, and his eyes made a point of picking downward.
He then suddenly opened his mouth, and a strong airflow draped Saul directly onto the bridge of the opposite face’s nose.
And the opposite face awoke as a result.
“This one isn’t either.” After confirming that the other party was not Byron, Sol immediately flapped his wings.
Those two huge faces facing each other immediately retreated into the distance.
Next Saul converted dozens of dreams.
He even suspected that one of them was the dream of some resentful spirit.
Tonight, Saul didn’t encounter an existence that was too dangerous, but at the same time, he didn’t find Senior Byron’s consciousness either.
Despite the assistance of Penny, after exploring dozens of dreamscapes, Saul was still kicked out of the dreamscape due to the fatigue of his conscious body.
This time he quickly entered a deep sleep without any dreams.
For the next three days in a row, Saul spent the daytime researching gray matter potions, the first half of the night looking for people, and the second half of the night sleeping.
It was a pity that the distance between dreams often had little to do with the distance between its creators, so even though Saul was sleeping next door to Byron, there was still no sign of the elder spirit.
The more time that passed between them, the more anxious he became.
On the morning of the fourth day, the door to Saul’s dormitory was suddenly knocked on.
Saul, who was still sleeping, immediately opened his eyes and bounced out of bed.
He rushed over to open the door and was delighted to see Korrie standing outside.
“You’re finally here.” Saul sighed in relief and hurriedly let Korrie in.
Kori, who still had two half-moon shaped dark circles under her eyes, came in and sat down in the only chair in the living room.
“But I’m exhausted, I’ve made ten servings of high-quality adhesive in a row over the past two days. Or did it in front of the tower master. My legs are all weak now.”
Even though Korie’s legs were also weak with fear when she first met Golza, after three days of contact, Korie had become much more natural when she saw Golza.
This time the weak legs were really just tired, not scared.
Saul had wanted to ask her about the adhesive matter, and had left a note in her dormitory for the same reason, so he hurriedly and attentively served water and handed over food.
“Can you give me a formula for a quality adhesive?”
Korie was “gulping” water, and put down her glass at that, looking at Saul.
She hesitated only slightly, “Yes, anyway, the mentor didn’t say that this matter needed to be kept secret from you.”
After saying that, she didn’t drink any more water, and directly took the pen and paper on Saul’s desk and started transcribing.
She, who had already made ten copies of high-quality adhesive, could be said to have memorized the formula backwards at this point.
Saul just watched the other party write out the entire preparation process little by little, and in his heart, he was still pondering whether there were any hidden hazards in putting these materials together.
It was just that this formula was based more on the formulas of other elemental attributes, many of which were in Saul’s knowledge blind spot.
So when Kerri finished writing, Saul asked about all the places he couldn’t understand.
Although Korie had not yet been promoted to a third level apprentice now, her knowledge was very vast, and she was even more familiar with adhesives and various toxins.
She immediately gave Saul an explanation.
“Cori, do you think there are any hidden dangers in this potion?”
“Hidden dangers?”
“For example, if this potion is coupled with a certain attribute of material, it will become highly poisonous or something like that?”
