Chapter 539: I Don’t Believe in God

Chapter 539: I Don’t Believe in God
What the hell?

That was Gaja Drum’s first reaction when he heard that Saul wanted to check his body for contamination.

Sorcerer apprentices needed to enter the third level before the age of 30, it was to prevent mutation due to contamination from their own spiritual and magical radiation.

What full-fledged wizards feared was more temptation and corruption from the intellectual level.

Whereas wizards and other magical creatures that roam the Uncharted Lands are forever fighting against the pollution that is constantly being born in the Uncharted Lands themselves.

Every year, a large number of wizards and magical creatures die from the pollution of the No Man’s Land, but there are also a small number of people who have survived the pollution and have utilized the unique resources and rules of the No Man’s Land to strengthen themselves and successfully advance.

This was also the fundamental reason why there was always an influx of outsiders into the Masterless Lands.

Dangerous, but full of opportunities.

It gives those desperate people in the Barren Lands the possibility to take a step forward.

Seeing Gaga Drum’s skepticism, Saul also knew that a stranger’s offer was more likely to raise alarms.

Sol cocked his head in thought and threw out a more tempting offer.

“You are the first person to visit after the establishment of the elven wizard tower, this first business …… I can provide free free medical treatment for free.”

“Oh, young sorcerer, years of experience traveling the continent has taught me that free is the most expensive. I would rather you make an offer and then consider whether or not you need to complete this transaction.”

“If you need a quid pro quo, how about establishing a stable supply channel?”

Saul let the raft dock and hopped up onto the lakeshore himself, narrowing his eyes and looking Gaga Drum up and down.

“Of course, if you’re really scared, you can also choose to forgo the deal.”

Who knew that Gaga Drum had a chest puff, “Someone who can replace a Dodge wizard must not be an ordinary wizard. I believe in your strength. Since this is the case even if you need to take a risk, so what? The greater the risk, the greater the gain, I agree to this deal!”

Saul was not surprised, how could someone who dared to be a traveling merchant in the Lordless Land be a meticulous life preserver?

“Then please put down your bags first and let me see your back.”

Gaga Drum first gripped the straps on his shoulders, then let go.

He bent his knees slightly, letting the bottom of the luggage behind him fall to the ground.

“I can’t put this pile of luggage down, so if you want to see my back, come to the gap between me and the luggage and look.”

Gaga Drum’s voice became subdued.

Saul’s words made him realize that the other party did have two skills. People with abilities needed to be respected.

Saul’s face was expressionless and his heart eased slightly. He had just used his meditation method to observe Gaga Drum’s body. Behind the other party, he saw some disturbing black shadows.

If there was contamination on the opponent’s body, it was most likely behind the black shadows entwined.

Gaga Drum’s reaction also made Sol realize that he had guessed correctly.

“If I continue to strengthen my meditative thoughts, then there is hope that I will be able to achieve the word ‘look’ in the word ‘look’.”

He walked behind Gaga Drum and followed the latter’s slightly lowered neck, observing the connection between his body and his luggage.

Unsurprisingly.

There was a streak of black slime on Gaga Drum’s back connected to the luggage behind him.

For the moment, it’s impossible to tell if it’s growing out of him or out of the luggage.

Saul transformed his newly grown right pinky into a slender tentacle and slowly approached the black slime.

When the tentacle was less than 10 centimeters away from the mucus, the black mucus suddenly produced a violent reaction, it constantly contracted, expanded, deformed, and issued a “grumble grumble” sound.

A fine layer of sweat immediately broke out on the back of Gaja Drum’s head.

He didn’t cry out in pain, nor did he speak up to stop Saul’s actions.

But Saul saw his whole body tense up, as if he would jump up and attack him in the next second.

“Always ready to lift the table, despite being willing to take risks?”

Saul didn’t tense up, he was even a little excited. It was as if he had gone back to the time when he had just become an apprentice not long ago and was assigned to dissect corpses non-stop in the necropolis room.

Through constant practice and exploration, his perception had changed drastically. Saul pulled back from his memories and collected the spiritual power fluctuations belonging to him on the tentacle, while covertly sending a trace of contamination from the Black Tide into the tip of the tentacle.

The black slime that reacted violently became docile in just an instant.

This caused Gaga Drum, who was already on the verge of enduring it to the limit, to be violently stunned, and a great joy and intense uneasiness instantly rose in his heart.

That was the unreal feeling of possibly being saved and having hope after being tortured for a long time.

He gritted his teeth, still not moving or speaking.

Saul did not pay attention to Gaga Drum’s mental activities. He just slowly let his tentacles make intimate contact with the black slime while carefully guarding against his opponent’s counterattack.

And expand the contact surface as much as possible.

The black slime still didn’t resist, and even wrapped itself around Saul’s tentacles intimately, like the fond caress of a lover.

However, on the next side, the dagger was revealed.

Originally still entangled with the slime tentacles suddenly opened all the suction cups.

The sharp teeth on the suckers sucked the pollution inside the black slime along with the forked tongue inside.

For a moment, the black slime also wanted to escape and resist. But because it was bound by the tentacles, it wasn’t able to get out of its confinement in the first place.

The next second its size rapidly decreased and it gradually lost its ability to resist.

As the translucent gray tentacles gradually stained the nerve-like thin and forked black silk, Saul felt contamination as well as a familiar spiritual power gradually filling the soul-dangling tentacles.

Although he still had some strength left, although he was fully capable of absorbing all the contamination, he still stopped absorbing the contamination before the black filaments spread to his palms.

He then once again amputated his newly fledgling pinky. Bringing the tentacle that was already covered in black lines in front of Gaja Drum.

Gaga Drum was stunned as he looked at the slender black tentacle that was less than half a meter long.

He finally realized what kind of sorcerer he had met and what kind of crazy but correct decision he had made.

“You, you removed all the contamination …… from my body?”

Saul, however, shrugged his shoulders, “As much as I’d like to admit so, it’s a shame it wasn’t completely removed.”

“The contamination has invaded your body for a long time and has become deeply entangled with both your magical power and spiritual issues. With my ability I can’t completely eradicate it for the time being, I can only remove most of the contaminants that have already mutated outwardly, and then subsequently treat you with resistance and restorative enhancement. But this may take a long time to completely eradicate the pathogenic …… contaminants.”

But the cunning merchant didn’t completely believe Saul’s words.

He still maintained a respectful attitude and carefully tested it.

“If you are thinking that my payment is not enough, then I am willing to offer all of my goods as well as my treasures in exchange for a chance at complete health.” Gaga Drum kept rubbing his hands together with a pleading face, “Please have mercy on me, a crypt dweller who has been suffering from the pain of contamination for over a decade.”

Cavemen were one of the common races in the continent of Nephrite.

It just didn’t occur to me that someone would come to the Staat Continent and become a traveling merchant wandering around the land of no man.

Sol had his own guidelines.

No matter what treasures or how much wealth Gaga Drum could offer, or how pathetically he acted, there was no way he could completely cure this caveman.

That demonstrated ability would have been completely beyond his control, and would likely have made him a rare material on the lab tables of other powerful wizards and captive for eternity.

Without changing his face, Saul stretched out his right hand, which had been prepared long ago, and on it, there were threads of black slime that were continuously corroding his skin.

It seemed to want to drill into his body to complete a new parasitism.

“It’s not that I don’t want to heal, it’s just that if I continue any longer, before I can fully heal you, I will become the new breeding ground for this pollution source. When that time comes, the contamination source will backfire and we’ll all have to die.”

Gaja Drum looked at Sol’s palm, wanting to find a break in its words, but he knew too well the power of this black slime.

In the end, he smiled ruefully, “It’s also true that if an alien sorcerer can easily solve the pollution that the Lordless Land has attached to us, then you will surely become the new master of the Lordless Land and the god of this place.”

The crypt people had their own beliefs. They believed in the Mother Goddess of Earth, believing that He was the will of the world.

Sol retracted his palms and bowed his head and said in a calm tone, “I won’t become a god, I don’t believe in gods.”
