Chapter 607 – Extreme Terror

Chapter 607 – Extreme Terror
“Is it safe to leave the Lordless Land?” Sol lightly laughed as he dismissed the idea of fleeing, “The Lordless Land occupies almost one-fifth of the entire Stat Continent. If even it falls, then the Stat Continent will surely die out with it in the later stages. Do we still have to run to other continents?”

Moreover, the Lordless Land had the most abundant sorcery resources in the Stat Continent, and now Saul had even laid the foundation here.

Including the two types of ants that were raised, and the Black Sea Tree Source that was planted according to Justin’s last words had only just sprouted.

Oh yeah, the small algae is also taking root in the second underground level of the Sorcerer’s Tower, so if he moves away, he will have to lose another portion of his vitality.

“It’s good to stay here then.” Saul exhaled and leaned back into the sofa again, “I have precognitive dreams and a diary, so the big deal is that in the end, there’s really no way out, so I’ll just roll with the punches and leave. You can’t just think about running away at the beginning. Why be a wizard if all you think about is comfort?”

Saul flipped through the diary inside his mental body and thought about the Black Tide, just as he also had a few questions he wanted to ask Nerilla who stayed in the black pages.

“What was the eye of the wind you were looking for earlier? Why did you seek it?”

Nerilla had been in the little black room for five days and was now numb.

[The eye of the wind is just a surrogate, it actually refers to the anchor point of the Abyss. The Abyss is a terrifying pollution aggregate located on the other side of this world. It has been polluting our world from the other side, and its anchor point is constantly approaching our world from the other side of the world. We are looking for the location where this anchor point is about to break through the boundaries, and are joining forces with the Judgment Court and the Stargate Council to seal it.]

“Abyss? Anchor point?” Sol thought of the huge whirlpool on the backside of this world’s planet.

If that vortex was big enough and deep enough, it might indeed come through from the other side of the planet.

But how did that vortex manage to penetrate the entire star without letting it disintegrate?
Is it simply because of the new power system of sorcery?
“What happens if the anchor point breaks through the boundary?” Sol continued to ask.

[Those near the anchor point would rapidly alienate. Subsequently driving all those with the unique contamination of the No Man’s Land hidden in their bodies].

“All?”

[That’s what it’s rumored to be. Even if you leave the Masterless Land, it’s useless, the contamination in your body affects each other, and the more people who are alienated, the faster the alienation spreads, without even any contact with each other].

“Pollution alienation that doesn’t require contact and can spread …… sounds terrifying.”

Although Saul himself could clean up this contamination, he wasn’t sure that he could still clean up the alienation brought about by the contamination when the anchor point broke through the boundaries.

The Black Tide contamination before it had broken through the boundaries could have broken through his space of consciousness – though it eventually collapsed – so was it possible that the Black Tide contamination that had gotten enhanced afterward could have directly contaminated him as well?

Like, for example, turning him directly into a pitch-black skeleton?

“So, at the very least, you guys are doing the right thing now. We can’t let the anchor point of the Abyss break through to our side of the continent.”

“Have you guys found the eye of the wind?”

[Before I entered this dark space …… not yet.]

“It seems that I will have to urge Ann’s side to continue searching in the future. This matter and Pei’er’s recovery of strength must be synchronized.”

At that moment, the door to the room was knocked on, and by the sound of the voice, one could tell that it was the butler, Hope.

“Please come in.”

Hope pushed open the door, “Lord Tower Master, there is a letter sent from the East.”

Hope handed the letter to Saul, then stepped back two steps and waited.

Saul unfolded the letter and realized that it was sent by the very same Anne he had just remembered.

He first casts the decryption spell in the agreed upon code before the words on the letter are revealed.

“Herbert did come to Ann? Judging from the tone of his conversation with Ann, he also definitely knew that the original wind demon was a fake, but for some unknown reason, he didn’t poke holes in that, and didn’t even take the opportunity to invade the cliff.”

“Asked Ann if she had any clues about the wind eye? Well, Ann muddled through for now. It’s just as well that I can tell her in my reply.”

“Pelle has awakened once in the meantime? It’s good to wake up quickly, it’s better to let her step in when there’s something dangerous.”

After reading the letter, Saul immediately put up his pen to write back – Hope had prepared the pen and paper needed to write back early in the morning.

After writing the letter, Saul cast an invisibility spell to encrypt the text, and then handed it to Hope.

Hope left and returned soon after.

“Lord Tower Master, the letter has been sent. But there was an accident. The original messenger who sent the letter seems to not want to leave the wizard tower.” “Oh?” Sol got up and followed Hope to the window.

It was only then that he realized that the original letter sender was actually the pale yellow flying bird that the fake wind demon had harnessed when it raided the wizard tower.

“It was the one that delivered the letter?”

Hope nodded, “Yes, Lord Tower Master.”

“And how did you send the letter back?”

“As I was trying to ask the giant bird lady to return the letter, she suddenly laid an egg, and that egg broke its shell and the chick fledged within seconds, taking the letter I was trying to send straight away. But the giant bird lady didn’t leave.”

Saul looked at the pale yellow giant bird curiously, “It seems this is a gift from Her Excellency Pei’er. It’s very nice, with combat power equivalent to a full-fledged sorcerer, and it can also function as both a mount and a means of transportation.”

The giant bird’s head bobbed deftly from side to side, seemingly searching for something.

Hope was a little worried, “But how are we going to feed Miss Giant Bird? I’m not sure of its tastes yet.”

The giant bird at the bottom of the tower suddenly ran two steps, and with a lowered head, it grabbed Marsh, who was planting mushrooms.

“Ouch ouch ouch ouch!”

Marsh’s dull voice came out from the gap in the bird’s beak.

“Geez!” Saul immediately jumped out the window.

Hope wasn’t in a hurry, he made a fist with his right hand and tapped his left palm, “Ah, looks like Ms. Giant Bird likes mushrooms.”

Although the shadow of the Black Tide had crept over the heads of the crowd, life went on.

Sorcerer Sol, who had already advanced to the second rank, still had the headache of learning new sorceries and conducting more complicated experiments.

A month later, Sol, who was studying new sorceries with Camus in the underground floor, straightened up.

“That’s it for today.” Saul got up and began to organize the scrolls on the table, “I’m going out and will be back in three days.”

Camus closed his mouth when Saul shouted to stop, immediately transforming from an austere scholar into a statue.

The 4th rank sorcery that Saul was currently learning was Electric Light Shield. This sorcery was provided by Pelle, and although she wasn’t majoring in light and electricity, there was someone under her who knew this sorcery. So Ann and Pei’er cajoled and coaxed to help Saul get this sorcery.

Electric Light Shield protection was not the strongest among 4th rank protective sorceries, but it had the advantage that it could attenuate half of the lightning attribute attacks.

This was a complement to Sol’s shortcomings.

And just the basic information of this 4th rank sorcery alone filled a thumb-thick spell book.

It took Sol ten days to decipher it.

Luckily, he had a sorcerer Camus, who had reached the 3rd rank in his lifetime, by his side to tutor him at all times, or else he might have needed even more time to fully read the spell book.

Now that he had finished deciphering it, he could already attempt to cast a spell.

Still, since it was time to commit to seeing his only apprentice, Noah, Saul decided to put this mind-numbing sorcery aside for a change.

He left the basement level, greeted the butler again, and ascended to the fourth level where he had risen.

However, just as Saul picked up the Chaotic Domain Compass, the door to his room was knocked on again.

“What is it?” Sol asked as he stood still.

“Marsh has brought back a sorcerer from outside who calls himself Byron and is said to be your old friend, may I ask if you would like to see him?”

“Holy shit!” Saul threw away the compass as soon as he could and ran outside with his legs drawn.
