Chapter 699: The Star Gate Has Opened (I)
Saul had always thought that he had learned the Fate Line through the Death Witch’s Diary.
However, the voice inside the World of Illusion informed Saul that he himself possessed the complete, gathered threads of fate.
The Death Sorcerer’s Diary had instead been able to aggregate to him because of this nature of his own.
And in the World of Illusion, Saul also gained further knowledge of the properties of his own Fate Line, thus vaguely developing a second property of the Fate Line in addition to prophecy.
He named it “Causality”.
In layman’s terms, it means “No one can owe him anything.”
Now, as long as Kismet received half of the black pages from Saul, it was equivalent to accepting Saul’s deal.
Saul had already fulfilled his part of the deal, and now Kismet owed him.
So next, under the guidance of the thread of fate, Kismet would definitely try his best to help Saul advance to the fourth rank.
Until Saul succeeded in his promotion or accidentally died, he would not be able to settle this part of the karma.
On the other hand, Kismet on the opposite side vaguely realized something after his thread of fate and Saul’s threads mingled.
But because the existence of the fate threads was unusually hidden, he wasn’t very clear about what Saul had actually done.
But no matter what, the piece of his soul that had been missing for hundreds of years had finally returned to him.
Kismet let out a long breath, and the frivolous smile on his face disappeared once again.
“People who strike deals on their own are really annoying.”
Thor nodded, “Thanks for the compliment, learned from you.”
Kismet smacked his lips and just acquiesced to the result.
“Well, then, we’re going to have a lot to do next.” Kismet agreed to Saul’s deal, surprisingly becoming proactive.
“Cute brother-master, well, until you enter the fourth rank and complete the deal, you’re still my brother-master.” He laughed again, his fingertips picking at the strings and making an out-of-tune, pleasant sound, “But before we prepare for the advancement, you have a big problem to deal with.”
Thor walked over to the round table and looked across the Rhine Lake at the group of wizards.
The wizards and apprentices who had just been cleansed of the black tide contamination in their bodies by him were now paralyzed inside the promotion spell, stabilizing their mental bodies that had become abnormal due to the contamination.
Some had already recovered from the abnormal state, but none of these people left, and they stood unanimously by the Rhine Lake, outside the mushroom forest, quietly looking at Sol who stood on the highest round platform of the Pure Spirit Sorcerer Tower.
They were quiet and silent, but their eyes were fiery.
It was like seeing the god who saved the world!
Saul can cure the Black Tide contamination.
It’s an awesome skill, but not so much that it’s revered.
What’s truly terrifying about Saul is that not only can he save hundreds of people at once, but he himself doesn’t seem to be negatively affected in any way.
This meant that in the contaminated No Man’s Land, Saul was a protective lock on everyone’s life.
As long as they surrendered to Saul, wouldn’t they not have to worry about the pollution in the future?
This would also solve their biggest crisis in the Land of the Unknown.
From then on, they could enjoy the rich sorcery resources here, while not having to worry about pollution.
This was equivalent to directly turning the Land of the Unknown, from a dead land, into a land of abundance.
“I know what trouble you’re referring to.” Even though he had already been promoted to the third rank, showing off his ability to cure pollution would definitely cause some trouble for Sol.
It was just that he had to advance to the fourth order in the future, and if he couldn’t occupy the resources here, with just a sorcerer’s tower alone, it would be difficult for him to save up enough resources to continue to advance and continue his research.
It could be seen from the resources consumed in this promotion to the third order.
Such a large amount of supplies, relying only on Saul himself, could not be saved up without a few decades.
Yet the Stargate Council was able to prepare it in just a few months.
The wide gap between individual power and collective power was so well manifested. “Even if I have to face the questioning and covetousness of the Stargate Council and the Judgment Court, I can’t hide anymore.”
Feeling the gaze of the burning eyes of the crowd, Saul slowly turned back, “Once Herbert died and Pei’er disappeared, I’m now the only third-ranked sorcerer left in the Lordless Land.”
He said word by word, “But from now on, the Lordless Land only needs me as a Third Order Sorcerer and that’s enough.”
Kismet’s shoulders shook twice, “I understand what you mean. From now on, the Lordless Land has its true master.”
Kismet did not care in the slightest about his status as practically a fourth-ranked sorcerer, stroking his chest with one hand and bending his head in a salute to Sol.
“Lord of the Pure Spirit Tower, Lord Sol.”
He raised his head as he maintained his bent posture, “I promise that neither the Judgment Court nor the Stargate Council will be in the mood to come after you for the next three years.”
Sol nodded, “After three years, I will make it clear to them that only me becoming the master of the Lordless Land is the most appropriate choice for everyone.”
Kismet smiled and slowly straightened up, “I have no doubt about that.”
“Also, I have two more things to inform you of.”
Sol smiled darkly, “Sure enough, with the karma theory tied up, this guy is much more proactive.”
“The first thing, the wind demon alienation has nothing to do with the Black Tide of the Masterless Land.”
Mentioning Pei’er, Saul’s face was serious, “I’ve already discovered this point.”
Kismet didn’t know that Saul had been to the World of Illusion, but he believed in Saul’s strength.
“Yes, what really alienated the Wind Demon was the Stargate that was opened by the Stargate Council.”
“The Stargate Council …… opened the Stargate?”
Kismet told Sol a secret about the wind demon’s origin.
Wind Demon is an artificial being and half of her bloodline comes from goblins.
The other half comes from a mad fourth-order sorcerer. The other was a staunch seeker of the Stargate. He chose Wind Demon for the characteristics of the goblin clan.
They were naturally sensitive to spatial changes.
That was also why the wind demon was chosen to reside in the Masterless Land for years. It was because of her sensitivity to wind eyes.
However, later on, the people from the Stargate Council discovered something else.
“They discovered that when the eye of the wind in the Masterless Land appeared, the Stargate located in the sky would also appear with it. If the eye of the wind completely erupts, then the Stargate will be affected and open a gap. And the Stargate Council is in need of this opportunity to learn about the otherworlds located in this world that the stargate is connected to.”
“Otherworld?” It was the first time Saul had heard this expression, “So the wizards led by Alik are trying to find new worlds?”
“Searching is the better term, the worse, it’s called fleeing.” Kismet hooked the strings and hung back, “This world has been restricted by the Eye of the Abyss. It is no longer possible to open the passage of the world barrier from the inside, but only with the help of external forces.”
He raised an index finger, “Iskepper has gathered, led by the Stargate Council, a group of adventurers who only want to escape to other worlds with the help of the Stargate.”
Kismet held up a second finger, “Nephrite, on the other hand, is a group of conservatives who only curry favor with the will of the world and want to use the origin of this world to fight the Eye of the Abyss.”
“Originally, the adventurers of the Stargate Council were trying to utilize Clark’s special dream ability to observe the world behind the Stargate. But alas, Clarke’s promotion will threaten the interests of the Glow family. Coupled with the fact that your mentor, Golza, does not favor the hasty exploration of new worlds, he is doomed to be sacrificed.”
“And so, Pelle the Wind Demon, who managed to retrieve her will, became the second choice of the Stargate Council. Oh, and it was also highly recommended by the Sky City Lord.”
Sol narrowed his eyes, “Recommended for what?”
“It is recommended to plant the stargate coordinates on Pe’er, once the eye of the wind appears and affects the stargate coordinates on Pe’er, the council side can be the first to discover that the stargate is open and carry out the next step of the experiment ……”
“…… drop the marker over there as the first step in exploring the otherworld.”
“But Pei’er, who is the signal transmitter, will surely be the first casualty.”
“She will die under the double contamination of the stars and the black tide.” Kismet said calmly.
