Chapter 552 – The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Saul wasn’t surprised to see that the old hag only brought back one body.
“It seems that there are still big names behind this one, or else it wouldn’t have been too late for you to capture the living one as well.”
Saul’s words made the old hag’s face look a little better.
“This kid is polite in his words …… No, he is such a polite little liar in his mouth!” She was indignant in her heart.
“The two people I caught on my side know nothing either. Either the person behind it is hiding too deeply, or the real mastermind doesn’t even need to do it himself.”
The old hag stared at Saul with big bulb-like eyes.
“Alright, I’ll make it clearer.” Saul took out the gyroscope that had just been renamed “Red Alert” from the storage device, “Behind them should be a third-ranked sorcerer, or one of those powerful second-ranked sorcerers.”
“When they came the 1st time, I purposely offered a very high reward. But they brought this very rare sorcery prop the next day, saying it was their own thing …… but I think the possibility is very low, more like it was prepared by the people behind them. Now, it’s just a matter of analyzing who exactly is more likely to come over and test me.”
“No need to analyze.” The old witch’s face immediately changed when she saw the gyroscope, and she took it away from Saul’s hand and raised it to her eyes, “They were sent by the wind demon. This gyro, I’ve seen it at the wind demon!”
“Wind Demon?”
The old witch’s face was still angry at first, but then she slowly grinned, “Hahahahaha, I know, it must be that crazy woman who is heavily contaminated!”
She threw the gyro back into Sol’s arms, “Hmph, I said how come not many people have come looking for me lately, looks like she got herself into big trouble.”
The old witch thought in her heart, “If the wind demon himself comes looking for …… me should I leave here first.”
She sneaks a glance at Saul who is staring at the gyro in deep thought and inwardly shakes her head again, “It’s not good either, the contamination on my body hasn’t been resolved yet. And my appearance and magic fluctuations are all changed now. It might be safer to stay by this kid’s side, as long as I don’t show my face!”
Thor had already covered his mental body in the red alert at this point, and was now placing the gyro on the tabletop and turning it slowly.
As the gyro turned, he saw some complex runic formations floating on the surface of the gyro, and as he twisted it faster and faster, these formations also turned into flowing lines under visual deception.
At the same time, Saul felt a force of lightning converge at his fingertips.
Instead of releasing this power, he once again rotated it in the opposite direction.
This time, the lightning power turned into a whirlwind.
Saul put his finger over and felt the cutting power. It was just that the whirlwind power hadn’t fully unfolded yet and couldn’t cut through his skin.
“What would it take to make a gyroscope spin counterclockwise and clockwise at the same time?”
Saul thought about it and suddenly took out a small mirror from the clutter and stood it on the table.
He then stood the gyro up in front of the mirror and slowly turned it.
The gyro on the outside of the mirror spun clockwise, while the gyro inside the mirror began to spin counterclockwise.
Several people’s attention was suddenly focused on Saul.
But the magic in the air did not change in the slightest.
The slow turning motion in Saul’s hand stopped with a pause, and with another hard rub, the gyroscope immediately began to spin rapidly on the smooth tabletop.
However, Saul could only feel the power of lightning brewing in it, just waiting for his mental power to dispatch, and it immediately spread.
Saul stopped the gyro with a single finger press.
“No way.” He put the gyro away for the time being, “Although the mirror can manage to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time, the gyro inside the mirror doesn’t have the power to create a catastrophic rainstorm.”
The old witch was not in the mood to study how to use this gyroscope, and although she decided to stay for now, she would be worried that the Wind Demon might come directly to her.
“Don’t study your trophy for now, aren’t you afraid that the wind demon will come directly over to you to get the gyro back?”
Sol instead thought that the wind demon would not come.
“If you hadn’t recognized the original owner of this gyro, I wouldn’t have been able to determine that the person behind the curtain was her. If she comes over to ask for it of her own accord, that would directly expose the fact that she might be heavily contaminated.
And it’s unlikely that she would send many people, otherwise, it would be no different from her coming in person.
And if it’s not her coming, it’s the other Second Order coming alone …… then isn’t there still you?” The old hag was coaxed to be happy and went away happily.
Saul returned to the first floor.
“Ann and Herman just went through a real battle training. It was just a sneak attack on a first-order witch, and both of them together could only tie with each other. In the end, it was me who stepped in and reaped the head.”
“Yes protecting the spirit body also protects your enemy.” Camus immediately realized the crux of the problem.
“Yes, that’s why we need a one-way output shield.” Thor thought about it and changed the word, “Or call it a protective membrane.”
The experiment on the “vegetal” sorcery modification was temporarily stalled due to the problem of thinking, so Saul simply took out another matter to slow down his brain.
“I happened to collect three fresh first-order corpses today. The transformation about blood and flesh merging spirit and perfect body can finally enter the experimental stage.”
The corpses of first-order wizards were not that easy to find.
Especially since Saul had just come to the Masterless Land, it wasn’t good to either strike out on his own or blatantly collect the corpses of first-order sorcerers.
Camus had no reaction to this.
Whether Saul’s experiment succeeded or failed, she would not have any emotions.
Seems only interested in the thought process.
Saul didn’t care either, anyway, researching this kind of thing boiled down to using one’s own brain.
Right now, he only thought of Camus as a kind of “can’t help but remind you when I see you make a mistake” low-grade version of the diary.
The experiment was conducted in silence.
The dissection and extraction of the material could now be handed over to Ann.
Herman gave her a hand.
Saul, on the other hand, wrote the pre-drawn formulas on the wall, and then wrote all of his thoughts underneath the formulas. Utilizing this method to check and see if there were any mistakes.
Camus also looked at the wall, and her gaze immediately fell on Saul after he stopped writing.
“The formula, it doesn’t match you.”
“Huh?” Sol froze, not immediately understanding what the other party meant.
But when he looked down and saw his hands, it was suddenly the same.
“That’s right. My body has gone through two witch body transformations long ago. The base of this experiment is me, not the old witch’s perfect body!”
Thoughts suddenly opened up, and his cold hairs exploded with excitement as he picked up a pen and quickly scribbled on the original formula.
He would even take a portion of his own body tissue halfway through to take measurements.
This time, he finally discovered where the key problem lay.
“I’ve actually completed the initial stage of the blood-flesh ensoulment in the ensoulment, and what I need to do subsequently is to increase the degree of the ensoulment. But the front-loaded flesh and blood I’m not qualified for yet.”
It was actually the blood and flesh from when he was a third level apprentice that could no longer satisfy the basic numerical requirements for a formal sorcerer to transform his body.
“The other thing is that the old witch’s perfect body doesn’t work on the magic power value item even though it incorporates some of the strengths of each race. Her focus seems to be mostly on the flexibility of using magic power, and the body’s own recovery ability.”
“If I want to create a new program that suits me, I need to drastically increase the magic talent in the program.”
Since it was necessary to raise the magic talent, it definitely needed to be raised significantly.
It was as if it was back to Sol’s puzzle of the century.
How do you break a bad magic talent?
But the difference was that the current him was no longer that little apprentice who didn’t have the slightest ability and could only survive by utilizing his diary liver life.
