Chapter 719: The Dean’s gone mad.

Chapter 719 – Dean He’s Crazy

“Your eyes, they’re so pretty ……”

Turning back to him as if he didn’t recognize Saul, Sorcerer Yona just stared straight into his eyes.

After a few seconds even stretched out his hand towards Saul.

Saul raised his hand to smack away Jonah’s outstretched fingertips.

It ended up literally knocking the other man’s fingers off.

“Uh, brother Saul, I’m in Sorcerer Jonah’s dream world now, I can’t be too mean to people.” Penny whispered a reminder from the side.

“Actually, I wasn’t too hard.” Thor rubbed his chin with his backhand, “It’s his body that’s very fragile.”

Across the room, Jonah saw his fingertips fall to the ground and looked first at his palm in confusion, then at the severed fingers on the ground.

“Ah!”

As if he suddenly reacted, he hurriedly fell to the ground and used his hand to feel around on the ground a little bit.

Perhaps it was the fact that only one eye left interfered with his judgment of distance, and it took Jonah several times to feel for the severed finger, which was clearly at his feet, before he could reach the fingertip, and tremblingly tried the same several times before he pressed it back.

It was as if the cross-section of the broken finger had been coated with glue.

Disliking it, and then twisting it, the fingertip was back on his hand and still able to continue to move nimbly.

“You guys, look at what he just did!” Herman exclaimed as if he had discovered something.

“Look out.” Penny said excitedly as well, “It’s the same movement he fumbled with in reality!”

Saul finally concluded, “He’s searching for his body.”

After settling back into his finger, Jonah, however, continued to gawk at Saul’s eyes as if nothing had happened.

“You have such good eyes.”

This time, Saul didn’t reject Jonah’s proximity, instead, he raised his hand and pressed it on his right eye, and when he lowered it again, a round, black-pupilized eyeball had already appeared in his palm.

“Let’s make a deal.”

“I’ll give you this eye, and you tell me what happened at Baidon Academy.”

Yona immediately nodded excitedly, “Yes, yes!”

Seeing that the other party agreed, Saul did not talk nonsense and directly threw the eyeball in his hand over.

Jonah’s one eye kept staring at Saul’s eyes, his hands were raised high, carefully catching the eyeball, and then he directly dug a bloody hole in his own face and stuffed the eyeball in.

When he stuffed it, it was in the wrong position, with the pupil of the eye facing inward, and he gently adjusted the position again with his bloodstained hands.

Saul watched breathlessly as the other man stuffed the eye he had handed over above the one eye.

It turned into a strange face with two eyes lined up in a row.

It wasn’t as bad as just having one eye!
However, as soon as Yonah installed Sol’s eye on his face, Sol saw a thin translucent thread extending from his body to Yonah’s forehead.

Only this time, the thread of fate was bright and dark, and seemed to disappear at any moment.

“It’s you?” After putting on Saul’s eyes, Jonah seemed to wake up a bit, and he actually recognized Saul in front of him, “How dare you come back?”

“What, in your impression, was I hunted down and killed to leave Archaeust in the first place?” Saul snorted.

“Brother Saul, we were indeed chased out of here in the first place ah.” Penny nonchalantly demolished Saul. “Shut up, Penny.” Saul conversed with Penny in his mind.

Jonah across the street didn’t know about Saul and Penny’s secret communication, and just muttered, “It’s also fortunate that you left so early in the first place. Wasn’t Dean having problems at that point?”

“What exactly happened?” Saul pressed.

Jonah hesitated, but finally told Saul the truth.

“Shortly after you left, Dean suddenly went crazy.”

“Crazy?” Saul raised his eyebrows in confusion, but did not interrupt Jonah.

“I don’t know exactly what happened. You know, I usually stay in the lab with my apprentice.”

“But one day, the dean suddenly ran out of the office building in a panic, holding Miss Beth’s body in her hands …… Oh, you probably don’t know Miss Beth, she was appointed by the dean to be the next dean.”

“No, I know this person, please continue.”

“Miss Beth’s body underwent a severe mutation, her hands and feet turned into trees. Long hard and rough branches on her hands and gnarled and dense roots under her feet. But her body is still normal and still looks soft.”

“Dean said someone sneaked up on him and it was Ms. Beth who saved him. Dean was cloaked and his face was full of panic, I’ve never seen a Dean like that before, and he said it was the Shia Wizard who hurt Miss Beth. But Wizard Shia has been missing for many days. We all suspect he actually ran away with you.”

“The dean carried Miss Beth’s body to the largest square of the academy, and then told all the wizards and apprentices to gather, he said that something concerning the life and death of the entire academy had happened. That’s why I had no choice but to come out of the lab and come to the square.”

A look of horror gradually appeared on Jonah’s face.

The strangest thing was that the one of his two eyes belonging to himself was in fear, while the black eye from Sol was actually smiling.

Saul averted his eyes somewhat sheepishly.

“As a result, when everyone at the academy, including the wizards who had been away, was called back, the dean suddenly planted the long-dead Ms. Beth in the dirt in front of everyone. Literally planted, he used witchcraft to create a large pit and then buried all the roots of the tree at Beth’s feet in it.”

“Beth stood there with her eyes closed, still beautiful ……” Jonah was a little lost in thought, but then fear took hold of his face again, “Someone asked Dean what he was doing. The dean said he was planting a tree, then he yelled like a madman that he had to water the tree after planting it, he had to water it ……”

A shiver ran through Jonah’s entire body.

“On the third time he said it, a large number of roots suddenly sprang up from the ground of the square, extraordinarily numerous and sharp, I had never seen such a spectacle.”

Jonah’s fingers pressed into his face, scratching out trails of blood.

“Immediately afterward, those branches impaled every wizard and apprentice present!”

Hearing this, Sol leaned forward sharply, “Tree roots? Could it be the Inverted Tree attacking the people of Baidong Academy?”

The Inverted Tree was an extremely powerful magical creature cultivated by the Baidon Academy, could it have suddenly attacked its own people, could it have been tainted by something itself?

The Inverted Tree was, after all, Saul’s target this time, and if the Inverted Tree was truly contaminated, then there would be no way for him to use the Inverted Tree to awaken Komoro.

Saul’s heart had just lifted when another possibility suddenly occurred to him.

“No, it might not be the Inverted Tree that’s gone wrong. The first one to go wrong was clearly Beth, the future academy heir.”

“What about after the piercing?” Sol’s voice was icy cold, forcing Jonah to recall the horrific scene that day.

Jonah struggled for a moment, but soon gave up and said feebly, “A large amount of sticky sap suddenly emerged from the tops of those tree roots that pierced the person, and that sap sealed the person inside like beeswax, revealing only a head. I heard the Dean say that he needed more cocoons.”

Cocoons ……

What do cocoons have to do with the Great Tree?
“Brother Saul, I think Dean Baidon said it was cocoons, but it’s more likely to be a nutrient solution.” Penny immediately speculated, “Isn’t he very sad about Beth’s death, could he be trying to sacrifice others to save Beth?”
