Chapter 508 – Resurrection? Retrospective?

Chapter 508 – Resurrection? Backtracking?
Saul looked down at the diary, still not completely recovered from the death experience he had just had.

“What just happened? Could it be that the function of the golden pages is resurrection?”

A diary of a dead wizard that can resurrect a wizard …… seems reasonable?
Just as Saul was studying the diary, a carriage suddenly grazed his arm and drove by.

Saul looked up, and when he saw the passing carriage, his pupils suddenly contracted!
A plainly dressed farmer was driving a flat carriage piled high with straw. On top of the straw piled high, there was an iron fork.

“Phew!!!” The farmer strangled the wagon to a halt and turned around to apologize to Saul, “I’m sorry lad, I was just lost in my thoughts and almost ran into you.”

Saul looked at the farmer, and without saying a word, he raised and swung down with one hand, and with that, the black blade shadow that had silently coalesced behind the farmer cut off the farmer’s head in one fell swoop.

The farmer was sitting, and as his head rolled down his shoulders to the ground, blood was spraying in large streams above his neck like a fountain. The stars quickly stained the straw behind him.

“It’s not a resurrection, it should be a do-over.” Saul stepped forward warily and looked at the farmer’s body and head.

It was indeed dead through and through.

“Why wasn’t he afraid of my sorcery attack just now? Or does the Dark Spirit Blade also have an attack effect on this illusion-like space?”

Saul had just sneak attacked the farmer, and if the sneak attack had been stopped by an inexplicable force, then the farmer would most likely not have been able to realize that he had just been sneak attacked either.

It’s just that Saul didn’t expect the Dark Spirit Blade’s effect to play out normally and directly cut the farmer’s neck.

After confirming that the farmer was dead beyond death, Saul walked to the back of the straw stack again and pulled out the iron fork with one hand.

“What kind of person? How dare you kill in front of us!” Two strong men appeared at the entrance of the village at an unknown time.

Their clothes were a little better than the farmers, and they had short swords on their waists and short boots on their feet.

It seemed to be the village guards.

The two of them had already drawn their knives on Saul and were running this way at a fast pace.

Saul casually swung out, and the Dark Spirit Blade split in two to meet the two guards.

Saul took the opportunity to use his pitchfork to lift up the straw stacks, wanting to see the “brother” inside, who had been lying shoulder to shoulder with him.

However, Saul rummages through the entire stack and fails to find the body, not even the head!
Herman: [Strange, where is the body of the red-haired boy?

Anne: “Master, look over there!

Saul sniffed and looked sideways, and surprisingly none of the two guards were dead!

Neither of them seemed to have been attacked by the Dark Spirit Blade, and at this point, they were only fifty meters away from Sol.

The sorcery …… has failed again!
Saul immediately turned around, holding his iron fork in a strict stance.

One of the guards on the opposite side suddenly threw the short knife in his hand at Saul.

This was actually a rather risky offensive move, and he actually threw the only iron item in his hand without any spares.

“He threw it quite accurately though.”

Seeing the short blade falling towards him, Saul immediately raised his iron fork to try to parry it away.

However, when the pitchfork in his hand hit the blade of the short sword, it was easily cut into two like tofu!
Saul unexpectedly failed to block, he immediately backed up, wanting to dodge the subsequent attack, but in the next second he realized that the short knife suddenly increased in speed, and in the blink of an eye, the knife with the handle penetrated through his belly!
“Can’t block it, can’t dodge it ……” Saul once again felt the sharp pain attacking his whole body, the moment he was injured, he lost control of his body.

Saul collapsed limply to the ground, but this time he wasn’t dead.

Two guards then arrived.

“I can’t believe he killed Uncle John!” One said sadly.

“Such a vicious man, maybe little Claude’s disappearance has something to do with him.”

“I think Little Claude was killed by him!”

“Right! Let’s put him in the cellar and let the village chief dispose of him!”

“But the village chief is so soft-natured, he won’t spare his life, will he?”

Another guard suddenly slashed the side of Sol’s neck with his knife, “Don’t worry, this way the village chief won’t be able to spare his life even if he’s soft-hearted. This way we will find the murderer who killed little Claude, and in the future everyone won’t have to worry and be afraid all the time.”

“So ruthless.” Saul couldn’t move a muscle and could only endure the pain silently.

In fact, with his perseverance, even if he was stabbed three more times, he would be able to endure the pain and stand up. However, the strange environment here caused him to enter a near-death state as soon as he was injured, and he could only blink his eyes.

Agu said worriedly, [Could it be that this is some kind of world side that keeps going back as long as you die?]

Anne doesn’t think so.

Anu: [Then this world side is really idle and wasting energy!

The two guards haul back the carter’s body and the dying Sol in a crate. This time, Saul rides the flatbed cart shoulder-to-shoulder with the cart driver again.

But this time the diary doesn’t show a prompt until he’s dragged into a cellar at the entrance to the village.

[You are about to bleed to death.

Coming!

Death warning alert!

Thor is unceremoniously thrown straight down into the cellar by two guards, then dumped heavily on the ground.

The two guards then lock the cellar door and go nowhere.

Saul guessed that they should have gone to find the village chief. But the other party will certainly take some time to make sure that before the “soft-hearted” village chief comes, he will be dead.

Saul was indeed about to die.

A large amount of blood loss made his eyes black.

He feebly tilted his head to the side and suddenly saw a pair of glaring eyes.

The owner of those eyes seemed to be hiding in a large wooden box in the cellar, with his head on the ground, revealing only a pair of eyes, and the red, crushed hair beneath them.

Red?
Saul’s eyes widened as he tried to get a better look at the person inside, but the other person’s nose was blocked by the boards of the wooden crate.

But despite only being able to see part of the face, Saul assumed it was the red-haired, big-nosed little Claude that the coachman had said had been missing for days.

Had the other man been hiding here all this time?
No!

Saul’s consciousness was already a bit blurred, and he could only think slowly, “If it’s this angle …… little Claude should be …… head on the ground in a position of cowering in the box… …Or only …… head ……”

The world in front of Saul’s eyes went black again.

[You’re dead.]

……

Saul opens his eyes and confirms that he is back outside the village.

Herman: [Master, the rules here are too hard, we should just turn around and go right now.]]

Saul turns around and unsurprisingly doesn’t see Marsh or the wagon in the back.

“No, when I step into a certain range, I can’t go anymore.”

He wasn’t exactly terrified, he just immediately called out his journal to look through the golden pages.

Saul had confirmed that the diary would save himself. But he didn’t confirm how much it would cost for each save?
If he died twice, wouldn’t he have consumed two golden book pages already?

Saul grimaced in pain.

But fortunately, the price he had to pay wasn’t that great.

There was still only the first golden book page that had changed.

The design on it changed from a dead Saul in a straw bale to a dead Saul in a cellar.

The painting shows him staring at a large chest in the corner of the cellar until his death.

Saul put away the diary, with a confirmation in his mind.

“It wasn’t this weird village that went back in time, it was the diary. But that doesn’t explain why the body in the haystack ran into the cellar the second time.”

AN: [There’s another problem. All these people started out saying that young Claude was missing, but immediately afterward they speculated that young Claude was dead, and were convinced of that speculation!”]

Agu, who was just about to speak up but was blocked from the page by Ann, then ventured out.

Agu: […… Yeah, I was going to say that too. Also, the Chevalier showed different strengths and weaknesses when he was killed twice. This could be caused by some kind of rule, which is something you should be careful of, master].

Sol nodded, “That’s right, I was also thinking, what is it that prevents me from attacking them? Does it have to be a sneak attack?”

The second time Saul killed the carny, it was a sneak attack.

But then he thought it wasn’t that simple.

Just then, a flatbed wagon grazed his arm ……

Poor Saul, it’s been a long time since he’s been this bad.
