Chapter 590: Come with me!
Chapter 590 Come with a good intention
A month later, it was time for the appointment between Saul and Noah.
Noah stood in front of the experiment table with his hands hanging down, glancing down at Saul somewhat nervously.
Today was the day Saul planned to send him to the Chaotic Domain, and it was also the time for the other party to check his learning progress.
Noah had no magic power, and his mental body was gradually mutating under the influence of the two drugs.
This made it more difficult for him to learn the basics of sorcery than an ordinary person. It could only be memorized over and over and over again.
It was good that Noah was smart and could always quickly understand some complex and esoteric knowledge and figure out their underlying logic.
Even though Saul didn’t consider how well he could learn the basics when he planned to send Noah to the chaotic domain, Noah still wished he could perform better.
So that Saul wouldn’t regret taking him on as an apprentice.
It was just a pity that it was still too difficult for a child with no hang-ups to overcome innate physical difficulties.
Even though Noah followed Agu around day and night to learn the basics, by today, a month later, he had still only mastered one sorcery rune.
“Water source?” Saul looked at the rune that Noah had taken a long time to complete and raised his head in confusion, “Why don’t you choose an attack rune?”
“Mentor, you said that the chaotic region I’m going to is one that is very barren of resources, and you may have to walk for days or you may not see any people. So I think it’s more important to create a water source to survive on than to fight. As for fighting, I will try to avoid it as much as possible.”
Sol didn’t agree or deny.
It seemed to him that this choice was entirely a result of personalities, some people tended to be conservative, while others preferred to plunder.
He had no intention of interfering.
Saul once again looked down at the tabletop with the rune that had taken Noah a month to depict, but was very standard, “Do the best you can within your means, you have exceeded my expectations.”
He got up and said, “You have proven yourself and completed the test, but there is still a long way to go in life, and you will have to continue to give this full effort in the future if you don’t want to hand in your papers early.”
Noah bit his lip, the corners of his mouth still couldn’t stop rising. His eyes glowed as he watched Saul nodding his head nonstop like a chicken pecking at rice.
Saul raised his hand, and the butler duly handed over the package he had organized.
Saul personally tied the package behind Noah.
“The place you’re going to is called the Chaos Domain. It is a place where there are almost no active elemental particles. There you can’t replenish your magic power through meditation, nor can you gather magic power with the help of sorcery spells.
Even if a full-fledged sorcerer goes there, he can only use the existing magic power in his body, or use energy items like magic crystals to perform sorcery. However, for those who have a fragile mental body and can’t withstand magical radiation, such a place may be the only option for survival.
Of course over there you could also live a very hard life, or even die from encountering a terrible monster.”
Noah hastily puffed out his chest, “Don’t worry teacher, I won’t back down!”
Sol laughed, “It’s already come to this, even if you want to retreat, it’s impossible. I will still send you to the chaotic domain, only the way may change a bit, and the requirements for you are also different!”
He patted the package behind Noah.
“In this backpack are some survival necessities. A short sword and sleeve crossbow specially made for you. There’s also a bottle of poison and its corresponding antidote.”
Sol took out another necklace.
The pendant of the necklace was a crystallized stone that was black in color and irregular in shape.
This was a small space sorcery prop that Sol had acquired from Gaga Drum.
It was cheap and had a small internal space of less than a cubic meter.
But also the advantage was that the energy consumption required to maintain it was smaller.
The energy storage crystals that Saul put in were enough to keep the necklace in the chaotic domain for a year.
“This holds some potions, books, and a few magic crystals. There is also space for you to store your own items. Once you mark it with your spirit power, you can use it without using your magic.”
Noah listened attentively to every word of Saul’s instructions and nodded repeatedly.
“In the beginning, I’ll try to visit you once a month. Once you can get a firm foothold in the chaotic domain, you might switch to going over once a year later on. After you have adapted to the environment over there, collect samples of local items as much as possible. Of course the prerequisite is that …… survives.”
Noah solemnly took the necklace and wore it around his neck. Tightening the backpack on his body again, it was as if he was holding onto the hope that Sol had brought him. “Don’t worry mentor, I will definitely try my best to survive and complete the task you gave me.”
Saul led Noah up to the fourth floor.
This was where he rested, yet it was also the floor he patronized the least.
On the walls of the rooms on the fourth floor, dense spell formations had been inscribed.
Some of these spell formations served as protection, some isolated sound, and some isolated prying eyes and magic fluctuations.
Relying on these layers of spell formations, Saul turned the fourth floor into an enclosed space.
And he intended to make this place his stronghold for traveling to and from the chaotic domain.
The compass’s needle turned frantically, and the two figures disappeared abruptly.
Aside from the Consciousnesses, the others didn’t know where Saul and Noah had gone.
The old witch came down from the third floor and hurried to the first floor.
“Saul! I’ve finished-” The old hag’s voice came to an abrupt end as she realized that there was no sign of Saul here.
“Where is he?” The old hag nonchalantly questioned Herman, who was following along with the experiment.
“Master took Noah out.” Herman shrugged his shoulders.
“Out?” The old hag frowned in confusion, “I hadn’t heard he was going out. Did he just take that dying brat out for a stroll?”
At this point, the old hag had the exact appearance of a sixteen year old girl – except for her face.
Her body exuded a youthful with a hint of maturity, and coupled with her big personality, paired with her 90 year old man-like face and exaggeratedly proportioned features, there was a sense of extreme incongruity everywhere in her body.
And in fact the old hag’s physical state had already reached the mature stage of a perfect body.
That’s why she couldn’t wait to come to Saul to share this news, and wanted him to remove the last of the pollution from her body as soon as possible.
The old hag was also aware that she was more or less being used by Saul, turning into an umbrella for the other party. But at the same time, in turn, she also needed Saul to cover her identity.
Now that the perfect body had matured, it was no longer possible to rely on the original witchcraft materials to continue to grow naturally, and could only be improved at a later stage.
But it was also enough for the current old witch. She could completely utilize the talent of this body with her own strong spiritual power to continue exploring the path of advancement.
Instead of being like the original who could only hold on to that old body and could only wait for death without a bit of hope.
“When will he return?” The old witch continued to ask.
Agu put down the two beakers in his hands and looked up, “We are not sure of the master’s decision, perhaps he will return soon, perhaps it will take a few days. Do you have any orders, my lord? Perhaps I can help.”
The old hag bristled, “Can you deal with the pollutant?”
Agu spread his hands in a show of love.
The old hag let out a “cut” and thumped up the stairs again.
The whole time, Camus just hunkered down in his confinement spell and didn’t say a word.
However, just after the old witch left, Camus suddenly looked to the south, stared tightly for a while, and then slowly closed his eyes.
At the same time, the old hag who was riding in the wolf cart and preparing to go out for a stroll to see if she could find Saul in the meantime also raised her head violently.
A gust of wind suddenly rose outside the mushroom forest. A large number of mushroom spores were swept towards the Witch Tower by the gale.
However, the violent hurricane came to an abrupt end on Lake Rhine, and the spores fell down one after another, spreading into a grayish-white carpet.
The old witch instantly narrowed her eyes, “Is this …… trouble at the door?”
Kavan, the second chapter will have to wait for the night again.
