Chapter 439 – Elf Skin and Black Iron Coffin (III)
Chapter 439 – Elf Skin and Black Iron Coffin (III)
Agu takes Sol further away after he comes out.
There was no one else for a hundred meters around.
Only then did Agu ask Saul in a low voice, “Master, did you see the two spirits I had in the library?”
Agu clasped his two hands tightly together, a little uneasy.
He had gone to the library once before the Sorcerer’s Tower collapsed, but had not seen his other two spirit bodies. Now that the Sorcerer’s Tower had collapsed, he had followed Kaz to clean up the rubble and still hadn’t found the middle-aged administrator or the elderly administrator, which made him uneasy.
Had they both been affected by the riotous mezzanine as well? They couldn’t have been eaten by the powerful grudge spirits in the mezzanine, could they?
In the beginning, in order for him to come out to find Saul, the other two had given him almost all of their power. Now that they had lost the protection of the library, they probably couldn’t beat a normal grudge spirit!
The more Agu thought about it, the more nervous he became, who unexpectedly looked up, only to find that Saul across the street was staring into the distance, his eyes empty as if he was recalling something.
“Master?” He asked carefully.
“Ah,” Saul returned to his senses and touched his nose, “You don’t have to worry, all the grievances …… of the Sorcerer’s Tower are with me.”
“??” Agu suddenly thought that Saul is a strong person who can directly absorb the grievous spirits and won’t be contaminated by evil thoughts, but, could it be that the master really ate all those grievous spirits in the Sorcerer’s Tower?
Even if it wouldn’t be contaminated, wouldn’t it hold up after eating so much?
As soon as Saul took a look at Agu’s shocked expression, he knew where he had thought of.
“It’s not what you think. Didn’t I enter the bronze gate before to delay the collapse of the Sorcerer’s Tower?”
Agu nodded.
“Then Mentor Golza came in as well. There, he …… gave me the true core of the Sorcerer’s Tower.”
“The …… true core of the Sorcerer’s Tower?” Agu was a bit shocked.
Obviously, even Agu, who had been a resentful spirit in the Sorcerer’s Tower for hundreds of years, wasn’t sure what the core of the Sorcerer’s Tower was.
Saul didn’t explain in detail, and he was also caught up in his memories.
……
“Do you remember that I once told you that the construction principle of the Sorcerer’s Tower references the Rock Giant?”
In the dazzling world of light, Golza found Sol.
At that moment, Sol was staring at a black box in front of him.
The thin fingers disappeared after leading Saul to it.
And in the world within the bronze gate, this black box was the only deep color.
And right now, the box was covered in cracks and rusted with a very old look.
Hearing Golza’s voice, Saul turned his head, only to be shocked to see an unfamiliar man.
But the voice is indeed that of Mentor Golza, so …… surprisingly, even the color of his eyes has changed?
Could it be contaminated?
Although when Golza teleported Sol and Kori away, Sol understood that Golza had stabilized his state.
When he recovered, a few first ranks wouldn’t be his match.
What’s more, the diary didn’t suggest danger anymore.
That was why Saul could safely detoxify Korrie on the 20th floor.
Unexpectedly, Mentor Golza reappeared and came to life.
A pink bandage was gone not to mention, even the pupil color and appearance seemed to have changed greatly.
But while the appearance had changed, that body’s temperament hadn’t.
It seemed gentle, yet unfathomable.
And …… it seems to be more powerful!
It was just that there was a gap between Sol and Golza’s strength, and they weren’t completely sure of the other party’s change.
Golza also looked at the shattered black box, “This is the core of the wizard tower, you can call it the black iron coffin.”
Surprisingly, a coffin? Thought it was a box.
“You put your hand on it and feel it.” Gortha tapped his chin.
Thor put his hand on it.
“Thump …… thump …… thump …… thump …… thump …… thump …… thump …… thump …… thump …… thump ……” He gradually widened his eyes, “Is that, like, a heartbeat?”
“It can be interpreted as a heartbeat, it is a black iron coffin made according to the body structure of a rock giant, utilizing life black iron as well as some special rare magical creatures. Saying it is a coffin, it is actually …… “Golza paused for a moment with some laughter, “And it is indeed a coffin. There’s quite a bit of life buried in here.”
With a single wave of Golza’s hand, the colored halo around the two began to expand and contract violently, twisting and distorting.
Then, inside those colors, some black substance suddenly precipitated out.
These things were slimy, fishy, and there was a murmuring moan inside.
If it was an ordinary sorcerer apprentice, just seeing these things would be enough to traumatize their mental bodies, and the weaker ones might be directly contaminated.
These black substances seemed to be attracted by some kind of attraction, and all of them drilled into the broken black iron coffin.
When all the black matter entered the black iron coffin, the surrounding surge of color suddenly quieted down, as if it had lost its life.
Golza reached out and grasped the suspended black iron coffin, his brows furrowed violently and stretched out a little bit, and then, handed the black iron coffin, which could be grasped with one hand, to Saul.
“Originally, I wanted to leave the entire wizard tower to you. But I thought you would want a wizard’s tower of your own more than just taking someone else’s and using it.”
“My own …… wizard tower?” Thor stretched out his hands and looked down at the black iron coffin that Golza had placed in his palms.
The black iron coffin that was originally a circle larger than his palm suddenly began to shrink when it fell into his hands.
Because of the compressed size, the cracks on the surface closed due to the squeezing. The rust on it also fell down.
In the end, it turned into a small iron block that could be firmly blocked with five fingers holding an empty fist.
“This is the core of the Sorcerer’s Tower and his embryo. Of course, it’s not so pure anymore. It contains all the grudges from the mezzanine, as well as spirits from the library and a few other special places.” Gortha withdrew her hand, “Might not be a bad thing for you though, after all, hmmm, you’ve been stealing from your family for a long time haven’t you?”
“Uh ……” Sol was surprisingly speechless.
He thought he’d been polite enough, at the very least not to empty the candle’s pipes when he realized he could just absorb the grudge shards.
“The Sorcerer’s Tower is probably not going to be saved,” Golza also felt a bit emotional at the mention of this matter, but wasn’t sad, “When I leave, you can distribute what’s left in the Sorcerer’s Tower as you like. If you don’t mind, you can leave some for Kaz. This old man …… is a bit naive.”
“I know, mentor.” Sol clutched the Black Iron Coffin in his right hand and held it tightly, “But Mentor, how do I turn this thing into my Sorcerer’s Tower?”
“Find a suitable place and plant it. It will establish a connection with your mental body based on the materials you provide and become your shelter. Of course, there’s also the possibility of it becoming a liability occasionally, like me.”
Golza slowly turned around, his white-gold eyes locked on Sol.
His gaze still caused Sol to be extremely pressurized.
“Saul, if you are not satisfied with being a mere first-order official sorcerer, if you still want to explore more and more esoteric secrets related to the soul, if you want to have the right to stand and speak in the future …… I suggest that you go to the land of the Lordless to establish your sorcerer’s tower.”
Saul tilted his head and blinked.
The Land of No Man?
The same place where full-fledged wizards went and had to move with caution, filled with death and pollution?
……
Snapping out of his memories, Saul raised his right hand so that Agu could see the black iron block in his palm.
“The two of them are right here. When I rebuild the wizard’s tower, I’ll reunite you with the other two split souls.”
Not only that, Saul wanted Agu to fuse back into the other two spirits and change back into the true and complete him.
The original Agu had experienced the previous owner of the Sorcerer’s Tower, and this one, only to lose many important memories because of the long split souls.
If Agu’s memories could be restored, it would certainly help Saul build a new Sorcerer’s Tower together in the future.
Comforting Agu, Saul returned to the underground laboratory.
Keri’s situation had stabilized, and she would have to rely on herself for the rest of the progress.
Something like a locator was naturally the most suitable for one’s own research.
It was just that I didn’t know what she would become in the future.
A walking heavy metal?
