Chapter 545 – Changes at Lake Rhine

Chapter 545: Rhine Lake Mutiny

As soon as he got his hands on the powder that left traces of the crisis, Saul immediately began to study it.

Only after studying it for half a day, he was unable to parse out its exact composition.

It didn’t seem to be soil or some kind of crystal, and he surprisingly didn’t have the slightest clue as to what exactly it was.

“It’s like a completely unseen substance.” Saul decided to ask the old witch, a local, to see if she knew.

And so, four days after entering the basement, Saul finally came out of it.

“I thought you died in there.”

The old hag was standing right at the exit of the basement, her face full of unhappiness.

After living in the Witch Tower for more than a month, she had changed from her original two-headed body to a four-headed body.

From a little baby to a little loli.

Oh, the face wasn’t.

“The experiment ran into a bit of a problem and took longer than expected. By the way, old hag, you’ve seen a lot of things, you’re an old man in the land of no man, have you ever seen this kind of material?”

Saul put the petri dish in front of the old hag.

“Where did you get this thing?” The old hag casually glanced at it, then her face suddenly changed.

“You really did know.”

“It’s fine for me …… to tell you, anyway, when you stay in the Lordless Land for a long time, you will encounter it sooner or later.” The old witch looked complicated, “This is the residue of the pollution source of the Lordless Land. We all call it Tricky Sand.”

“Creepy Sand?”

“It was once discovered that all the places where Creepy Sand appeared, new rules were born. Oh, congratulations, the Rhine Lake rules that we just parsed don’t work anymore. Next we’ll have to venture into the new rules that will appear here.”

The old hag’s face wasn’t pretty.

Every exploration of the rules would bring a large number of deaths.

Even then, one might not discover all the rules, so much so that the occasional witch would suddenly and inexplicably die in the place where they always lived.

Thor thought to himself, “But the diary doesn’t hint at danger, and the suspected Camus spirit in there isn’t conscious yet.”

He asked the old hag again, “Is there any danger in this tricky sand? Or what purpose does it serve?”

“Not much use. It’s like the residue of energy that has been drained. Of course there’s a bit of radiation contamination on it, and it’s a deadly enough presence if put to a normal person.”

There was indeed a bit of radiation on top of this tricky sand, but it would be of little consequence to an apprentice of level two or higher.

Just then, Marsh, who lived outside the tower, ran in with a “thump, thump, thump”, gasping for air, and said with a tense face, “My lord the Rhine Lake, the Rhine Lake has frozen over!”

Saul and the old witch looked at each other, and at the same time got up and went outside.

When the two came outside, they found that the original visibility of less than ten meters of dense fog, I do not know when it was actually dispersed a lot, only the remaining ethereal, like a dream, like a fairyland like the white fog shrouded in the Rhine Lake and the lake island above.

Even if dozens of meters apart, Saul can also see that the surface of the Rhine Lake is really a thick layer of ice.

This made the temperature of the lake island drop a little more than the original, obviously spring blossoms, about to step into the spring of March, but like February generally with the coldness of freezing through the skin.

Saul walked quickly to the edge of the lake and gazed at the ice.

Those spirits who had been staring at him in confusion at the bottom of the lake were also covered, I wonder what their situation is now?

It was just as well that his experimental body had not yet been consumed.

Saul called to the dull Kent.

The old hag narrowed her eyes.

She recognized at once that this Kent was not a living person and was supposed to be a being of the same nature as the butler.

Just the specific construction principle, she is still not clear …… of course he is also too lazy to figure it out.

There is too much unknown knowledge in this world, and she is too lazy to figure it out one by one.

But things like the Rhine Lake Rules that concerned herself, she was still willing to use her brain.

Only to see the old witch also walk to Sol’s side, raise her hand and squeeze a ball of air, transforming into a small bird wearing whirlwind wings.

“Go!”

The old hag gulped softly and let go of her hand.

The little bird was seen crashing straight towards the ice, carrying a magnificent atmosphere of looking death in the eye. However, this witchcraft-constructed bird had just crossed the interface between the lakeshore and the ice above, when it suddenly disappeared.

The wings composed of whirlwinds spread out and turned into a breeze, but it didn’t even blow the thin fog around it.

“Forbidden Demon Space?” The old witch’s face grew heavy.

By this time, Kent had already obeyed orders and walked over to Sol’s side.

Although the old witch’s air bird had dissipated, Saul still allowed Kent to step onto the ice.

Kent had no sense of crisis, and Saul gave the order and stepped forward.

Again, the moment he had just stepped onto the ice, his entire body disappeared.

Saul had been keeping a close eye on Kent, and this time he finally realized that the vegetal sorcery around Kent’s body disintegrated in an instant as he crossed the junction between the lake shore and the lake.

Kent’s soul, on the other hand, was pulled underneath the ice by an inexplicable force of rules at a speed that the naked eye could barely keep up with.

Thor thought for a moment and walked to the edge of the lake shore.

“Hey, don’t seek death!” The old witch called out to him in a hurry.

“I know.” While paying attention to the movement of the diary, Saul tried to use the diary to pull out Kent’s soul that had been sucked into Lake Rhine.

Then, he easily sent Kent’s soul back to the diary.

It was as if the rules on Lake Rhine didn’t stop the soul from leaving. But it was more likely that the power of the diary was stronger than the rules of the area.

Thor went back to change the spirit for a separate experiment and set a coordinates for summoning sorcery in the spirit.

But this time after the spirit went beneath the ice, Saul was unable to summon it back.

The coordinates also disappeared after the spirit entered the lake.

“Sorcery disappears when it enters the confines of Lake Rhine, and the soul is sucked under the ice. So is it possible to bring the soul back using physical methods?”

Saul had the small algae split into a slender tentacle and, as if fishing, dropped one end onto the lake.

The new tentacle couldn’t split again on the ice, but it could nibble at the ice with its pointed mouth.

It gnawed for a good ten minutes before it chewed a small hole in the ice.

It then burrowed in and used its mouth to contain the spirit that had fallen in.

And little by little, it sent it back to Sol.

Little Algae had devoured a cryptocrystalline mass in the Elven Valley, creating a mutation.

Therefore, unlike other Soul Devouring Demon Swamps, it could touch physical objects, spiritual bodies and even conscious bodies like the Nightmare Butterfly.

It was only when the small algae doppelganger climbed back to the shore and opened its mouth at Saul that Saul and the old witch realized that what it had brought back in its mouth was not the spirit body that Saul had thrown in earlier.

“Well, it’s still a bit difficult for your doppelganger to distinguish which spirit body is which.”

Saul stroked the little algae’s head.

“You’re a peculiar pet.” The old hag looked at Koho with great enthusiasm.

It was powerful and well-behaved.

Saul didn’t answer, not for sale anyway.

He once again came to the edge of the lake, “The spirit will be pulled into the bottom of the lake, and the magic will dissipate. However, the small algae can move on the ice, and even bite through the ice …… It seems that the rules here are not very powerful, at least the extreme situation of instant death will not happen.”

“But …… Little Algae is a magical creature and can go up there. What about us?”

Sol took a tentative step.

The old witch immediately widened her eyes, and before she could stop it, she saw that Saul had already taken a second step.

The entire person stood completely on the ice.

Her mouth was wide open, her brain tilting back to her back.

“You …… crazy person!”

Third shift!
