Chapter 537 – Pure Spirit Sorcerer’s Tower

Chapter 537 – Pure Spirit Sorcerer’s Tower
Lake Rhine wasn’t a particularly dangerous place in the Masterless Lands.

It may have several rules, but at the same time, those rules aren’t that dangerous.

It was also no better than the small village that Claude was in.

Nonetheless, the old hag who presumed to rely on her second-order strength couldn’t break through the most basic rules here.

To enter or leave the island in the center of the lake, one must take a boat.

Although with her natural strength, it wasn’t so bad that she would die, but getting lost in the mist for two hours was humiliating enough.

The old hag who was only brought back by Seaweed after dark finally subsided.

She locked herself into the second floor of the Witch Tower – the room that Saul had left for her – and didn’t want to go out for a while.

Saul had arranged the third floor as a laboratory, the fourth floor was his residence, and the fifth floor was a storehouse.

Up on the fifth floor was the circular platform that resembled the battlefield of his consciousness.

According to Saul’s understanding, the sorcerer’s tower was only temporarily molded now. It would continue to be remodeled according to Saul’s ideas in the future.

Saul stopped at the fourth floor, which was still empty without any furniture.

Saul also didn’t carry any of these living items that took up space in his storage. But when they settled down, these could be slowly homemade or purchased.

For now he sat on the bare masonry floor and communicated with a few of the consciousnesses.

Herman: [Ha, this will be the master’s wizard tower from now on].

Ann: [Name the new wizard’s tower, master!

Herman: [A wizard’s tower is a wizard’s tower, what need is there for a name, wasn’t it called a wizard’s tower before?]

Ann: [It used to be called the Golsa Wizard Tower …… How about calling it the Sol Wizard Tower now?]

Morton: [previously called Golsa Witch Tower is because he can not afford the name, and then in order to distinguish from other wizard organizations, we took the initiative to add his name in front of it].

Penny got excited, “Why don’t we call it the Death Wizard Tower, how grand!”

Several consciousness bodies and Penny suddenly began to agonize over the name.

Saul originally wanted to follow his mentor’s example and not name it. It just occurred to him that a name could sometimes influence other people’s initial impression of the wizard tower.

Since this was the case, he could actually guide them slightly.

“The word death is actually quite apt, but since I’ve come to the Masterless Land, I want to leave a different impression on others.”

“A different impression?” Penny thought for a moment, “Could it be that you want to be a good person, Brother Saul?”

“When did I say I want to be a good person …… No, am I the bad guy?” Saul didn’t have the heart to say, “The land of no man is a very dangerous place. Today we can exchange the Rhine Lake from Dodge’s hands, tomorrow there might be other people who also come over and want to fight for the Rhine Lake.”

Morton: [Indeed, the Dodge wizard was able to control Lake Rhine for so long, but we, the outsiders, have no background, no backing, and no place that can make people afraid of us].

Ann: [Then come a few, kill a few!

Ever since she left the Archaist, Ann’s personality has been a bit grumpy and murderous. This could be the aftermath of her devouring the souls of her enemies.

It was just that Saul hadn’t mastered the method of splitting souls yet. One could only wait to study it later.

“If it was in Kemah, killing people could indeed threaten others, but this is a masterless land, killing people alone may not be able to frighten the truly ferocious.” Sol voiced his thoughts.

“I think one thing that allows Dodge Wizard to gain a foothold here, besides mastering the rules of this place and having a backer behind him, is that he can create value. That’s something we can learn from as well.”

Hearing Saul’s words, Morton immediately proposed.

[Master can also sell the grievous spirits in the lake like Dodge.]

“Although we also have the means to capture the spiteful spirits, I would prefer to use them for our research and the expansion of the Sorcerer’s Tower.”

Saul had a high demand for spirits.

Whether it was his sorcery or his sorcerer’s tower, he needed a large number of spirit bodies to keep getting stronger.

This was also the reason why Saul chose the Rhine Lake and came here despite trekking for three months.

He was naturally unwilling to split his resources in large quantities just to gain a firm foothold. “That’s why I plan to position myself with a new identity.”

The several Consciousness Bodies and the Nightmare Butterfly didn’t say anything.

But Saul could feel their surprised and expectant emotions.

He cleared his throat, “I intend to become a healer, specializing in treating all sorts of contaminated miscellaneous diseases. So the name of the wizard tower, I want to call it the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower.”

“It’s not good, it’s not atmospheric, it’s not memorable, it’s better to be the Death Wizard Tower!” Penny boldly objected, but no one responded.

It was only after a few moments that Herman hesitantly reminded him.

[Master, you absorbed Claude’s contamination last time, resulting in a three-day coma and a black tide invading your consciousness space. If you continue to do so, will you be in danger again?]

“I know, that’s why I deliberately made a change when I absorbed the contamination from Dodge.”

Saul stretched out his right hand, and his pinky began to deform, the first knuckle continuously bulging and finally swelling into a ball.

“This is the contamination that was drawn from Dodge’s wizard.”

Without changing his face, he pulled this knuckle off and placed it in a corked bottle.

AN: [Ah, I thought you had sucked the contamination from Dodge into your diary, master].

Sol stares at the bottle in his hand, “I tried not to pass the contamination I sucked into the diary, but to keep it in the end of the limb for now. That way the contamination won’t enter the mental body.”

He raised his right hand again, this time a drop of black liquid slowly precipitated from the tip of his index finger.

Saul switched to another test tube and sealed the drop of black tide.

This drop of black tide was the same drop that was obtained from Claude. It invaded his platform of consciousness, and then I don’t know if it retreated because of the diary or because of the stars in the world of consciousness, but finally became a source of contamination that was controlled by Saul.

If it wasn’t for this drop of Black Tide, Saul really didn’t have much of a way to counteract the old hag for the time being.

Unless one took the risk of forcibly pulling the old hag into the battlefield of consciousness.

But that would really be fighting for his life.

If the old hag had an undercurrent in her soul, he might even end up in the same place.

“There’s still a portion of residual black tide on the old hag, so I’ll go back in a couple days and take a look.” Saul stowed both the test tube and the bottle into the storage, “By the way, I can observe whether the black tide that enters a person’s body will undergo any other mutations. Since I decided to impersonate a healer, I naturally need to be prepared.”

An: [Well, if you, master, spread the reputation of being able to purify pollution, there will be many people who will have requests for you in the future].

Morton: [But be careful, too, too much fame can lead to being imprisoned and utilized].

Sol nodded in agreement with the two, “Yes, so be careful with that degree.”

He actually had this idea vaguely after helping Claude absorb the contamination. It was just that he hadn’t had the time to realize the idea later.

Now he had both the old witch with second-order strength by his side, as well as the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower that could provide him with an increase.

He thought the time was ripe.

The name of the Witch Tower was settled.

Whether it was handsome or not, in any case – like a trademark – the intention had been made clear.

“Now let’s discuss this again.” He pulled another cream-colored shell bell from storage.

“Penny, can you come out now?”

“Yes master, but …… I don’t really want to go out.” Penny said condescendingly.

The last time Dodge’s dream bell rang, Penny cowered back into her diary.

It didn’t seem like that was a coincidence.

What secret did the dream bell, which could make even the nightmare butterflies cower, hide?
“Possessing a dream bell gives you a peaceful night’s sleep.”

Does this mean that there are other Nightmare Butterflies in the Land of the Unknowns, and that the Dream Bell is the regular means of defense for the wizards here?
