Chapter 546: Sneaking Away

Chapter 546 Sneaking Away
Saul stood on the ice, feeling the cool air coming from his feet.

But besides the coolness, there was no other danger.

“The diary didn’t warn me, but I can’t imagine that there’s not even any danger.”

Saul took two more steps forward, and there had been no accidents.

It was just impossible to perform sorcery.

The magic that had just been working had disappeared only as soon as it left his body.

Sol released his mental body to track where those elemental particles had gone.

It was found that those elemental particles were also running under the ice surface.

“It’s just impossible to cast spells. So in the future, we need to walk out to leave the lake island. Well …… it’s a bit far, how about buying a car?”

Saul walked straight to the center of the lake and slowly walked back.

The old hag looked on in amazement, and eventually couldn’t help but walk up herself.

Eventually even Marsh and Algae were excited to run out onto the ice.

Only the butler remained standing in the wizard’s tower, watching the crowd with a smile on his face.

After playing for a few minutes, Saul left the crowd behind and went back to the wizard tower.

The changes in Lake Rhine were likely brought on by the Camus he had just picked up.

Other than her, nothing else unusual had happened today.

Saul returns to the basement and prepares to study Camus.

The butler is a spirit, but he has a layer of sorcery called “Vegetative Body” that allows him to move and pick up items like a normal person.

Camus also displays this trait.

It is the plaster-like layer on the surface of her body that is responsible for this.

During the time she was not awake, the only thing that interested Saul was this coating on her body.

He was going to study the sorcery “Vegetative Body” and the coating on Camus’s body to see if he could combine them to develop a new sorcery for the four consciousnesses in the diary.

At first, he wanted to use the bodies as containers to carry the consciousnesses, so that they could act independently from the diary for a while.

However, with the passage of time, coupled with the performance of the consciousness bodies in several adventures made Saul realize that the originally flexible soul bodies, forced into bulky corpses did not bring much of a plus.

Seeing the butler today, as well as the similarly textured Camus, made Saul think that he could actually have the consciousness bodies put on a protective shield and then act outside.

Though without a body and without magic, the souls couldn’t perform sorcery, they were perfectly capable of fighting entirely on their spiritual bodies, just like the mouths and hands in the black iron coffins.

In particular, the soul arming he had researched before, the spider legs that had already been fitted to Anne that were also made up of spirit body fragments, would be perfectly suited to be her weapon.

Without the drag of a bulky corpse, she could still retain the stealth of her spirit body.

Combat was based on sneak attacks.

As dishonorable as it sounded, it was enough to save her life.

Several consciousnesses watched Saul perform his experiments, and a few of the brainy ones quickly realized what he was doing.

Like Agu and Morton, who immediately started giving Saul ideas.

……

“Hold still, uh, nice.” Golza straightened up, a pleasant smile on his face.

It was a rare day when he wasn’t wearing his wizard’s robes or one of those cloaks that could cover his entire body.

He wore a lacy white shirt and long pants and boots, the more popular attire in Nefreet in recent years.

Gorgeous and conservative.

The reason he was dressed this way was because he was going to ditch the wizard’s tower and make a quiet trip out.

Half a month ago, the Wall of Sighs saw another round of Black Tide outbreaks.

The black tide that was as tall as a small mountain slapped hard against the Wall of Sighs, which was taller than a mountain, with a devastating and compelling aura.

The already extremely sturdy wall was still slightly broken.

The masonry was taken away by the receding tide, leaving behind the devastated wall, and the frightened wizards.

But the lapping of the tide was merely a prelude to the Black Tide crisis. The Wall of Sighs, which concentrated most of the world’s best third-order wizards, was followed by an outbreak of contamination.

A large number of bizarre, writhing, twisted monsters were born on the wall after being lapped by the tidal wave.

This was immediately followed by deadly sorceries that fell upon them in a multitude of colors or silently.

Some of the monsters were killed by a single blow and shattered into powder before being carried away by the subsequent black tide.

Some were tenacious and agile, still able to pose a threat to the traveling sorcerers on the Wall of Sighs.

On the sea outside the Wall of Sighs, there were also towers of sea wizards spread out like clusters of stars at night.

These wizard towers were mainly provided by the Glow Family, which also established their supreme status in the wizarding world.

The wizards appointed to guard the towers were generally third-ranked wizards with stronger combat power and stronger life-preservation abilities.

Tower-guarding wizards generally don’t participate in the battles on the Wall of Sighs because they have a more important task: they are responsible for killing or blocking those huge monsters that walk out from the deep sea.

Of course, there weren’t many of these monsters, or else there wouldn’t be enough tower guard wizards to bury them.

Golza was one of the few tower guard wizards closest to the deep sea, and fought bravely and valiantly to kill the monsters in the last battle!
In the end, he was unfortunate enough to fall into the deep sea that had been drenched in black tide, and despite instantly moving out as fast as he could, he still suffered from corrosive wounds all over his body, and could only return to recuperate for a period of time behind the Wall of Sighs.

But anyway, the most dangerous moment of the Black Tide has already passed, the fourth-ranked wizard in charge of the Wall of Sighs naturally agreed.

Golza, who had received official permission, shrank within the circle of influence of the Glow family and stayed behind closed doors.

On the surface, he said he was in seclusion to recuperate, but in reality, he brought his apprentice Haywood in secretly.

On this day, he wrapped Haywood’s entire body in pink bandages and put on a brownish-red cloak with a healing spell formation.

Even if someone could see through the bandages, they wouldn’t be afraid; inside, Haywood was literally covered in festering skin, with only five holes left in his features – except for his eyes.

Solidly wounded.

“Look.” Golza flipped out a small, palm-sized mirror and made Haywood look inside it, “Like the color pink?”

Haywood wanted to say he liked it, but couldn’t really say it.

By this time Golza was missing his little apprentice a little.

Appearance didn’t really matter though, this was the real purpose of the pink bandage was to help Haywood disguise the aura of a third level apprentice on his body.

Haywood failed to impact a formal sorcerer a while ago. There was already no value in utilizing him at all. But Golza gave him a chance to stay by his side.

That was to become Golza’s double!
At this time, a black shadow, detached from Golza’s back, quickly changed into the appearance of a beautiful young woman.

Haywood had just been flayed and was so badly injured that he could only barely greet her as she lay in a recliner.

“Mrs. Yura.”

Looking at this appearance of Haywood, Yura’s eyes flashed as if she remembered something, but the scene in her mind was quickly covered by a fog again.

Instead of responding to Heywood’s greeting, she turned her head to look at Golza who was like a domineering noble.

“Is there no problem with the injuries you are carrying? Must you leave now? Didn’t Grand Sorcerer Mohime give you half a year to recuperate?”

Golza moved his fingers, making the mirror spin at his fingertips.

“There are more places I need to go. You just cooperate with Haywood in disguise and try not to be exposed. By the way, teach Heidi how to maintain her status.”

An identical black shadow drilled out from behind Heywood’s head, only the form had been unstable, like a reflection in the water constantly swaying.

Heidi was also transformed into Yura’s current form, only the material used for the transformation wasn’t as good as the one Yura was using now, so the state had been less stable.

So this time, Yuura couldn’t leave with Golza.

But Yuura didn’t care either.

“Where are you going ……?” Her expression was indifferent, joyless.

“First to the southern islands of Nefreet.” Gortha didn’t mind telling them, “There is one material there that interests me.”

He pressed to stop the spinning mirror, which was facing right toward his face, reflecting a pair of eyes with an expectant glow.

“And after that a trip to No Man’s Land, where there’s a little one I’m more interested in.”

That’s two more shifts today. The second shift will probably be at ten o’clock at night.
