Chapter 421 – Gathering in the Small Garden

Chapter 421 Gathering in the Small Garden

Golza disappeared back into the storage room after informing Sol that the final test would open tomorrow.

Sol, on the other hand, took the first opportunity to start preparing the materials with the list Golza had given him a few days ago.

Despite having gotten the list given by Golza long ago, Saul didn’t mobilize the materials before the other party explicitly said to start for fear of being detected in advance.

Not only that, the others had also received orders: all those who were qualified to participate in the experiment were not required to bring materials to the Companion Flower Garden.

This made the tutors and apprentices who had painstakingly prepared for a long time dumbfounded.

Saul finally headed to the first warehouse to get some important materials, and then he saw Heywood open the warehouse door with a trance-like face.

“Is, is the final test about to open?” He wasn’t wearing a hood, and the horrible woman’s face at the back of his head was desperately trying to turn to the front, as if he wanted an answer as well.

“Yes, it starts first thing in the morning.” Saul finished, suddenly realizing that Haywood hadn’t known until now that he wasn’t even on the list of experimenters.

A powerful third level apprentice, Golza’s apprentice, didn’t even have the chance to attend the experiment.

Haywood laughed bitterly, while Heidi in the back of his head cried out with a “wow”.

The sound was so shrill and ear-piercing that people couldn’t help but cover their ears.

Haywood sighed and nudged the back of his head, the crying stopped abruptly.

“The final test was opened once as well, unfortunately we failed completely that time.” Heywood explained to Saul, “That day I, as well as Ivan and Kongsa, walked into the lab on the 20th floor with unparalleled confidence, but that time the program failed most of even the front experiment. The entire follow-up experiment was also forced to call a halt. Even the mentor was seriously injured due to the experiment backfiring.”

Haywood seemed to have gone back to more than ten years ago.

The three of them were the candidates carefully selected by Golza, and originally, according to the plan, after completing the transformation of the sorcerer’s body, the final test should be conducted.

Which meant that they were actually all mandatory candidates for the final test.

But the transformation experiment was declared a failure just as it began.

Heywood no longer remembers the circumstances of that day. He only remembers that when he woke up in the horrific pain of a million insects, Tutor Golza was covered in blood, and two of the other five tutors were also seriously injured.

That day he was told that the experiment was terminated, and was then banished to the first storage room.

Though over the years he had continued to improve himself and conduct all sorts of research, even if it was on something very dangerous.

But he still didn’t even have a chance to participate in the second resurrection experiment.

After gathering all the materials on Saul’s list, he handed over the cart in his hand to Saul.

But when Saul was ready to take the cart, he realized that Heywood was still holding the cart for a few seconds before slowly releasing it.

“I wish you all the best in completing your experiments.” Haywood smiled a little hard, and Heidi behind his head wailed out again.

And this time, Haywood didn’t stop Heidi again until Saul carted off.

It was just like Haywood used to say to Konza.

They had been given up long ago.

Saul left the first storeroom with somewhat mixed feelings. He went back to his second storeroom to get the materials he needed for this side, and he went through the exit to the outside of the tower.

Outside the Wizard Tower, the Half-Life Garden.

The companion flowers that were originally planted in a messy manner had all disappeared at this time, the garden fence had not been removed, and the experiment site was inside the fence.

A scarecrow was stuck on the land outside the fence.

The scarecrow’s exposed hands and face were dark yellow withered grass, and its nose was a wooden stick.

As he passed the scarecrow, Saul nodded at it in greeting.

The lips painted on the scarecrow’s face curved upward two degrees eerily.

The garden was already full of people.

Even though Mentor Golza had told uninvolved people not to show up at the experiment site, there were still a lot of people here.

This was because the tower master had suddenly given the order that everyone was only allowed to bring raw materials to the experimental grounds to formulate potions on site.

And most of the prop materials and potions to be used for the resurrection experiment required very tedious preparation. No one expected Golza to suddenly let everyone re-prepare on site.

Therefore, every tutor applied to bring along the apprentice assistants they needed to carry out the preparations.

The entire garden looked a little crowded for a while.

But despite the number of people, the scene was quiet.

Saul, judging from the looks they exchanged with each other, guessed that they were all discreetly utilizing sound transmission techniques to communicate. As Sol walked to the innermost part of the room, he also saw Korie, who was standing not far behind Mentor Guido.

She wasn’t communicating with anyone, and with thick black circles under her eyes, she was yawning loudly without the slightest regard for her image.

As she wiped away the teardrops squeezed out of the corners of her eyes, she saw Saul, who was pushing a large cart, and immediately smiled and waved to him.

Saul smiled back at her, but behind his smile was a sudden sinking mood.

Keri originally didn’t need to come over, but because Golza suddenly requested that all potions be prepared on-site. As the main operator for the preparation of adhesives, she unexpectedly appeared here today.

Sol didn’t realize that he had tried to exclude Korrie from the resurrection experiment several times, but in the end, he made the mistake of letting her come to the scene.

He saw the transparent crystal ball necklace hanging in front of Keri’s chest, and inside was a piece of silver-colored metal with an irregular surface.

That should be the beta toxin needed for the final step of formulating the adhesive. The radiation toxicity was much weaker than Alpha. But still, only Korrie could perform the operation.

Mentor Guido was holding his bucket and vomiting while confirming the final steps with the other apprentices around him so that they wouldn’t make any mistakes when the time came.

Mentor Monica’s face was a bit pale and expressionless as she stood not far from Guido with her arms clasped.

Behind her was only the third level apprentice Jero, who majored in the thunder attribute. Jero seemed to not be able to feel the tense atmosphere of the scene at all, and had a cozy light smile on his face.

When Jero saw Saul, he raised his hand and greeted him.

Saul pushed his cart and deliberately stopped in front of him.

“You’re back? Where’s Senior Byron?”

“Dead outside.” Jello said playfully.

Boom!
The magic in Sol’s body instantly rose high.

“Just kidding, just kidding!” Jello immediately raised his hands, “We separated after we went out to complete our mission. As you know, he doesn’t really like me.”

Of course, Saul knew that Senior Byron didn’t like Gero, but he also knew that Gero’s “just kidding” was actually referring to the second half of his sentence.

“Ah, it’s fortunate that I came back in time, or else I wouldn’t have been able to catch today’s action. Resurrection experiments alas, what great sorcery!”

“Hmph!” Sol grunted coldly as the cart continued to walk, passing Mentor Monica with a soft greeting.

Monica was still a bit distracted, just forcing a smile in response to Sol, the Tower Master’s current most valued apprentice.

She didn’t have her pet with her today, so she didn’t even tear the charred skin off her face as the electrical sparks burned her skin, leaving it hanging strikingly.

Further in were the main instructors of the experiment, Anze, Rum, and Kaz.

Mentor Anze sat in a recliner with his eyes closed, his whole body looking lazy.

His experiments were always like this, he commanded, the apprentices operated, and those who operated poorly became the materials for the next round. That’s why he had brought the most apprentices this time, a full ten of them.

And today he didn’t even command, the scene was completely dispatched by Luo Kai.

Although Luo Kai was only a second level apprentice, he commanded those third level apprentices without any stage fright, and it was obvious that it was not the first time that he had sat in on the scene.

Mentor Rum ……

Saul didn’t know how Tutor Rum came out. Maybe it was Mentor Golza who directly moved the person out.

Without the support of the corners, the fat on Rum’s body spread out evenly in all directions into a circle.

For one person, it took up the place of a dozen people.

He was followed by two apprentices Saul had never seen before. It was still the blonde Rum aesthetic, but this time both apprentices were fat.

Less than one meter seven, they looked to be three hundred pounds.

Very much a master and apprentice look to him.

Rum didn’t speak to anyone, his face was calm as he looked at the mountains in the distance.

At this time, Kaz came over and was about to take over Saul’s cart, but thought better of it and gave up, instead turning around and walking side by side with Saul towards the garden center.

“Saul, do you know why the Tower Master suddenly opened the resurrection experiment early?”

Saul brought the cart to a stop, spread his hands, and laughed helplessly, “I only found out today that the final test was to be conducted in the garden.”

What he said was the truth.

Only the focus was on the garden, not today.
