Chapter 693 – The Star Took Her

Chapter 693 – The Star Took Her
Saul tilted his head expressionlessly as he looked at the fireflies floating in mid-air, burning.

So little, less than the size of the tip of a thumb, but it burned for a long, long time.

When Pei’er found Saul, the firefly’s burning fireball hadn’t completely disappeared.

She looked at the sky with a shocked face, and then looked at Sol who stood silently, and hesitated for a long time before falling to the ground.

“You killed Herbert?” Pelle asked, biting her lip.

Saul turned his head, “I don’t know how.”

Yes, Saul wasn’t as calm as he seemed.

Even, he was almost confused inside.

At the last moment of sealing the eye of the wind, Camus blended into a white anchor point that suddenly burrowed into Saul’s fingertips.

After that, the distorted contamination brought about by the eye of the wind completely disappeared.

And the white point on Sol’s fingertip was peaceful and quiet, as if it was really just a piece of Sol’s finger bone.

But as Saul instantly moved to Herbert and Pei’er’s side and watched them fight, the fingertip of his left hand suddenly trembled gently, signaling his thirst to the two third-ranked sorcerers.

This white finger bone was originally a part of the anchor point, and Camus had let this part break out of the seal at the last moment, apparently still wanting the Black Tide contamination to continue destroying the world.

However, that white anchor point fragment didn’t explode at the first moment after coming out, but rather lay dormant.

Saul wasn’t in a big hurry, he had heard Pei’er say that if he couldn’t stop the Black Tide from breaking out, all the fourth-ranked wizards would find a way to seize the anchor point.

Obviously these forces had a way to save the anchor point.

It was just that Saul wasn’t sure if they were willing to share it with himself.

Regardless, he certainly wouldn’t leave it unattended. That was why Saul was thinking of utilizing his newly mastered transient ability to test out the third-order sorcerers.

Who knew that the moment the anchor point touched Herbert, it suddenly radiated a twisting power.

And this power did not escape outside Herbert’s body. It also meant that Herbert endured the sudden outburst of the anchor point all by himself.

Though it was only for a moment as well.

It still immediately sent Herbert into a chained state of alienation.

“…… In short, Herbert seems to have been directly twisted by a rather powerful contamination. He doesn’t even have the slightest ability to resist.”

Pelle frowned tightly at the side, “According to you, I can only think of one thing.”

“Anchor point?” Saul turned his head, staring at Pelle’s face.

“Yes. But the fact that the anchor point is here means that the Black Tide has completely broken out.” Pelle was puzzled, “But there’s clearly no longer any twisting power here.”

She couldn’t help but look at Saul with some concern as a spiritual force hung around Saul without falling.

“Saul, are you sure you’ve completely sealed the eye of the wind? Do you need me to check it for you?”

“I am certain, but it’s fine if you check it for me again.”

With Saul’s permission, Pei’er then wanted to help Saul check his body, having completely forgotten how scared she had once been of Saul.

Just the moment her spiritual power was attached to Saul, Pei’er suddenly remembered this matter again.

Her face turned white.

“What’s the matter ……,” Saul remembered even halfway through his question, “Did you hear the sound of the stars again?”

“No, no……” just about to deny it, Pelle’s voice suddenly became sharp, “No! No ！！！！”

The spiritual power that was just about to touch Saul was suddenly withdrawn, and Pelle covered her ears and violently closed her eyes not daring to look at Saul.

“Pei’er?” Saul was startled and hurriedly checked his left hand.

The skin was still intact wrapped around the white finger bone inside, and there wasn’t a single trace of the Black Tide contamination emanating from it.

“It shouldn’t be contamination from the Black Tide. Could it be the effect of that slight contamination from before?”

Saul instantly probed out his powerful spiritual power.

Previously, due to Pei’er’s fear, he hadn’t had the chance to help her conduct a thorough examination.

But now Pei’er’s appearance reminded Saul of how she had struggled in terror before falling into the starry sky in the Golden Book Page preview.

This made him momentarily afraid to wait any longer.

“I, who was a step away from Pei’er, was not affected in any way, so the reason that made her panic like this is most likely within Pei’er.”

But before Saul had time to check, Pei’er in front of him suddenly opened her eyes again.

Only this time, the luster in her eyes had been lost.

“Not good!” Saul immediately reached out to grab Pei’er’s hand.

“It is. I shouldn’t have hidden.” Pelle murmured, as if she had been convinced by something, “I should have gone there.”

Pelle’s body plummeted, like a free fall, gaining speed. Saul, who had been prepared for this, grabbed her hand.

But the hand he grabbed was stretched like rubber.

A shallow crater was left where his fingers touched.

It was as if Pei’er had been completely transformed from the inside out into a colorful clay potter’s clay to be kneaded.

Saul could only let go of his hand.

But now without the influence of the black tide pollution, Saul’s magic power was abundant, and at the same time, he could also mobilize the magic power of the outside world, and directly cast a flying technique at the limit and chased after her.

However there was also a limit to the height of the flight technique.

When Saul flew above the second layer of clouds, he could no longer ascend.

The magic power here had become thin, and Saul couldn’t even borrow the power even if he wanted to.

It was as if he had arrived at the border of the wizard world.

However, the speed of Pelle’s fall to the heights increased instead of decreasing.

It seemed to have received a call from beyond the world.

“Why is Pelle still alienated? Obviously that bit of pollution is about the same compared to a few of the more dangerous parts of the Masterless Land.”

“Brother Saul.” Penny whispered in her diary and speculated, “Could …… it be that it’s not the pollution that’s affecting Pelle.”

Saul was stunned.

Surprisingly, he hadn’t thought about it.

Could it be that in the several previews of the Golden Pages, it was never the Black Tide contamination that affected Pelle and sent her plummeting into deep space?

“If it wasn’t the black tide, could it be the stars?” At this moment, Saul even wanted to enter the space of consciousness to question the stars inside.

But if he did so, he would completely lose track of Pei’er.

Staring at the beautiful figure that was getting farther and farther away from him, Saul suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Several thin white lines appeared before his eyes.

Most of them were blurry and far away from his body.

Only one was the clearest.

Without thinking, Saul took hold of the thin thread!

The next second.

Saul and Pei’er’s figures disappeared high in the sky at the same time.

It was as if they had never appeared.

At the same time, on one of the highest mountains in the Ethkelper Continent, located in the middle of Stout and Nefret.

On one of the highest watchtowers of this highest mountain range.

On an inverted pyramid-shaped platform suspended a hundred meters above this watchtower.

This is an experimental base that the Stargate Council does not disclose to the public.

Other than those who entered the watchtower below, no one else could see this inverted pyramid-type platform.

This place is secretly called the “Star’s Eye”.

As the genius of the Stargate Council and the right-hand man of Speaker Alik, Meric was walking down the Eye of the Stars and returning to the watchtower.

At this moment, Alic was sitting at the top of the watchtower, gazing calmly at the sky.

The gravity of the space at the top of the tower had been remodeled, changing from vertical to horizontal.

And this was just to fulfill the Speaker’s special hobby of stargazing at all times.

Meric also had to pause for a moment to adjust to the change in gravity the moment he teleported to the top of the tower through the Eye of the Stars.

This time, however, his excitement allowed him to hold up the report in his hand and report it aloud to Speaker Alik without much adaptation.

“Lord Speaker, we have just managed to capture the open stargate! It was only for a moment, but we have also managed to drop a marker inside.”

Meric said as he walked over to Alric and knelt down on one knee, “Your presumption was correct, when the eye of the storm in the Land of the Undivided appears, the stargate opens briefly once. This time, the people we sent to the Land of the Masterless sent back the signal in time, which allowed us to seize the moment and successfully drop the subject!”

“By the way, do you know what code name I have given to this subject?”

Meric tilted his head, his eyes gleaming with the prominence of a metal telescope.

“I call it …… Anchor Point.”

Feeling better and with some of my energy back, I’m going to start with a slow more, gradually getting back to my old rhythm.
