Chapter 547 – Camus Awakens
Chapter 547 – Camus Awakens
The change in the Rhine Lake did not affect its owner too much. However, the rumor of the mutation was quickly spread by the wizards who were “passing by”.
Half a month later.
Since Saul called himself a physician, the first “patient” he received, Gaga Drum, visited again.
This time he brought a lot of goods with him.
“It’s been a long time, Sorcerer Saul, perhaps you’d prefer to hear me call you Healer Saul.”
Saul was fine with that.
“I am a physician who studies the pollution side of things, but more than that, I am a sorcerer, so feel free to call me that.”
“Then I’d better call you Sorcerer Saul, I think that title best expresses my respect.”
Gaga Drum lowered the huge traveling bag he was carrying behind him, but still didn’t take off the straps, as the adhesion between his back and the bag hadn’t been fully released yet.
“This time I have brought you some of the goods on the list, would you like to see them?”
Gaja Drum took a crumpled ball of paper out of his arms and carefully spread it out before handing it to Saul.
This list was given to him by Saul, listing a large number of materials that were needed as well as those that might be needed, with some rare items mixed in as well.
As Saul looked at the list, his brows grew tighter and tighter.
After all, Gaga Drum was only a traveling merchant, and those basic sorcery materials were fully stocked.
But the more expensive ones were less common. The rare things that Saul wanted the most were not available.
But just like a home should have a refrigerator as well as a trash can.
Even though what Gaja Drum brought to Saul was mostly the most common items, it would also improve the infrastructure of the Wizard Tower and make Saul’s life here more convenient.
Saul, on the other hand, took out a large amount of magic crystals and materials that he had a relatively large inventory of and exchanged them with Gaga Drum.
However, Gaga Drum did not collect the money immediately after delivering the goods.
He rubbed his hands together and carefully curried favor.
“Sorcerer Sol, do you think the contamination behind my back can be completely removed this time?”
He had a few moments of suspicion that Saul was not completely helping him remove the contamination behind his back, was he trying to use it as a handle to control him?
Saul, on the other hand, said in a serious manner, “The contamination on your body is not too serious. If it’s just a surface contamination, I can clean it up. The key to this contamination is the root cause, which has been parasitizing you for a long time.
If it is forcibly separated, there is still a possibility that your life will be injured.
So if you want to thoroughly and safely clean off the contamination on your body, you must target and research a plan to paralyze the source of the contamination on your body to prevent it from causing backlash injuries due to separation.”
Saul spoke nine truths and one lie, and Gaga Drum was dumbfounded as he listened.
“Of course, if you’re willing to take the risk right now, I could also try to help you remove the contaminant completely right now. I haven’t actually done that yet, it would be a rare opportunity.” Sol’s eyes glowed.
Gaga Drum hurriedly shut up and waved his hands shakily, “No, no need, I’m not in a hurry! It’s better to trouble Sorcerer Sol to help me find a way to safely strip the source of contamination.”
Sol nodded, looking a little regretful.
Not being able to help Gaga Drum completely remove the contamination, he would have to pay for something.
After completing the deal Gaga Drum enthusiastically shared more news with Saul that might interest him in the near future.
One of those items was that Clark the Dream Maker recognized Sol as the new owner of Lake Rhine.
However, the Firefly Lord and the Wind Demon have yet to indicate this.
Some people are foolish enough to possibly come here to explore the area.
Gaga Drum told Sol to be careful.
Speaking of careful, Saul remembers someone.
“By the way, Gaga Drum, a wolf monster wearing a human body came to me some time ago to remove the contamination from my items. Was this person introduced to you?”
“You encountered a dire wolf?” Gaga Drum was startled, “It was not introduced to me. I was introducing you to a first-ranked wizard friend, and then I realized that a dire wolf was sneaking around, and I didn’t expect it to actually overhear our conversation.”
Sol gave the terrified Gaga Drum a deep look, not bothering to look deeply into how much truth there was in it.
After completing the transaction of goods and information, Gaga Drum departed once again. He promised to continue gathering the information that Saul wanted.
In exchange, Saul collected the latest contamination samples from Gaga Drum to continue his research.
Let’s see when this contamination can be removed completely.
Not only was Sol able to purchase some basic necessities from Gaga Drum, but he was also able to inquire about some of the latest news.
After agreeing with Gaga Drum on the goods he would need for the next time, Saul walked back to the Sorcerer’s Tower.
As soon as he returned, Marsh rushed up once again, “My lord, my lord, that white woman is awake!”
The woman in white?
Camus?
Saul immediately rushes into the wizard’s tower.
Saul had been waiting for her to wake up ever since he dug the soul of the former former owner of the Wizard’s Tower out of the ground. Meanwhile, in order to prevent being counterattacked, he and the old witch had researched a sorcery spell to imprison the spirit.
But if this Camus look-alike is really the Camus he knows, the other person should be at least a third-ranked sorcerer.
If Saul didn’t have a diary and a natural advantage over souls, he might have tried to destroy the soul first, and throw it away if he couldn’t eliminate it.
The farther away the better.
Still, he wanted to make the best use of what he had.
After all, it wasn’t like anyone could just pick up a nearly complete third-order sorcerer’s soul for nothing.
However, the first project of Saul’s research, the sorcery of combining the “vegetal body” sorcery with the white substance of Camus’ spirit body, had not yet made any substantial progress.
Now that Camus woke up, it might be a good thing.
Saul arrived at the basement level with both anticipation and caution.
A sorcery cell had been made here specifically for Camus.
By the time Saul arrived, Camus and the old witch were looking at each other wide-eyed.
The butler was absent at the moment, supposedly busy with chores.
“Well? Is she conscious?” Saul asked the old witch in a hurry.
The old hag bristled, “Looks like a fool.”
Being described in this way, Camus was still sitting on the ground with no expression on his face.
Legs flared to the side, elegantly interlocked. Hands interlocked, resting gently on the mid-thigh seam.
Looked like a good temperament, just very much like a statue.
Saul crouched down so that he was level with the spirit.
“May I ask if you are Wizard Camus?”
The other didn’t respond, still staring ahead.
“Hello, I am Sol, and this is my wizard tower.”
“Useless.” The old witch was tired of playing, “More than wooden.”
All she could do was look, and Saul wouldn’t allow her to touch it.
The old hag hadn’t studied much about souls, so she had little interest in Camus.
She had just learned that she was awake – or moving – and ran in happily, but the other woman didn’t respond, and she stayed for a while before going back.
Sol hadn’t been very attentive to her lately, and hadn’t been studying the remaining contamination in her much anymore.
But the old hag wasn’t about to leave either.
This Witch Tower of Saul’s originally had a mist barrier, and now it had even more forbidden magic fields, perfect for her to hide in.
After all, she was still carrying the two wanted third level witches, the Firefly Lord and the Wind Demon, on her back!
After the old witch left, Saul tried a few more times, even mentioning the name “Golza” and the Glow family, but still failed to wake up the sculpture in front of him.
“Maybe it hasn’t fully awakened yet.”
Saul was not discouraged.
Just keep waiting anyway.
He wasn’t short of time right now.
So Saul continued his research and once again took a little bit of the grayish-white surface from Camus.
There was no reaction from the other side either.
Saul’s observations were fruitless, so he had to really start experimenting.
He currently wanted to parse the layer of white substance.
It wasn’t that it was fruitless, it was just that the results were so bizarre that he couldn’t help but feel that he had miscalculated.
“There’s something wrong with your experimental environment. The air needs to be pumped out.”
Saul moved and looked back.
Camus had turned his head his way at some point.
Only his face remained expressionless.
“Ahem.” Saul pointed at the other’s neck, “Why don’t you turn your head first?”
“I’m not really used to looking at someone’s back when I’m face to face with them.”
