Chapter 773 – Repeated Temptations

Chapter 773: Repeated Temptations
Ophelia, who had devoured Krum’s soul, returned to the mouth of the bottle contentedly, her eyes half-closed as if she was enjoying herself.

Saul did not know if Ophelia could also directly read the memories in Krum’s brain.

But it didn’t matter even if she found out that Saul had interrogated Krum.

After all, Krum was in the pages of the book at the time and was not able to actively receive information from the outside world.

At best, Ophelia knew that Saul had found out that there was no such thing as the second half of the biography.

A moment later, Ophelia opened her eyes, ”You have done a good job with this commission. Next, we can discuss how to contact Pelle of the Illusory World.”

The other party surprisingly shut up about the second half of the biography.

Could it be that when she had asked Sol to track down Krum’s death and the second half of the biography, it was just to stall for time?

Nope! It wasn’t that simple.

“About the second half ……,” Saul mentioned of his own accord.

“Don’t believe the words of a betrayer.” Ophelia said softly, “Since you brought back his intact soul, I can naturally dig out the secrets he’s hiding.”

The other party was obviously not going to tell Saul the truth.

Saul let out a laugh and a sigh, “Alright, I’ll leave this matter alone. It didn’t have anything to do with me in the first place.”

The two uncovered the topic and continued to discuss the connection.

“I’ve read the proposal you gave me, it does have feasibility, but it’s also very risky, how do you guarantee that you won’t be attacked from the outside during the connection process, and whether or not the Illusory World will use Pei’er as a jumping off point to attack our world?”

Seeing that Ophelia had really considered the connection, Sol also seriously discussed it with the other party.

After half a day of discussion, Ophelia and Sol initially determined two connection options. However, which one to use in the end still needed to be determined in the subsequent research.

Next, the two would have to prepare for the first trial connection.

Before leaving, Ophelia, however, suddenly called out to Sol, “Right, you leave Pei’er with me.”

Saul’s turning footsteps lurched, and slowly turned back again.

“What does Your Excellency want with Pei’er’s residual spirit?”

Ophelia said slowly, “In both of our scenarios, it requires me to fuse my power into Pei’er’s spirit to help her break through the isolation of the world barrier, so it’s only natural for me to rub shoulders with her.”

“I thought that Your Excellency and Pei’er were sisters and didn’t need to be too troublesome in the step of grinding together.”

“Heh, in order to be fully prepared for experimental research, I’m not going to be casual in this regard.”

The other party suddenly made the request to leave Pei’er behind, and even though the explanation passed, Saul always felt that Ophelia had another reason.

However, he thought of the diary and still didn’t refuse.

Saul raised his hand and drew the combination of Pelle and Nerella directly from his temple.

“Pei’er, during this period of time, you will stay by His Excellency Ophelia’s side.” Saul admonished.

“No!” The left side of the head on the combined soul body shook up, “I’m not staying by the old hag’s side!”

Wait, isn’t the old hag yourself?
Saul shook his head darkly and added to the Sky City Lord who was smiling and narrowing his eyes on the high platform, “Pelle is a crippled spirit, that’s why I asked Nerilla to protect her, but they are in a spirit state after all, and don’t have a body ……”

Ophelia interrupts, “You don’t have to worry, I’m very good at creating containers.”

As soon as she spoke, a white porcelain bottle to the left of Pelle made the sound of boiling water, followed by white bubbles coming out of the mouth of the bottle.

The bubbles gathered higher and higher, and then flowed down the edge of the bottle’s mouth.

The bubbles piled up on the ground, stacking up a little bit higher, like squeezed together cream.

Then the cream began to wriggle and deform, squeezing left and right, gradually turning into a palm-sized white villain.

There were no features, and the body was just a simple outline.

But when Saul probed this container, he realized that the inside of the white villain was perfect for holding souls. This little person molded in the blink of an eye was already superior to the human container that Saul had been making for more than half a year in the Golsa Witch Tower.

“It’s worthy of being the city lord who has countless doppelgangers.” Sol was tempted to take this little person back to study it.

Nerella looked at the villain on the ground that wasn’t even as high as her knee, and was a little uneasy in her heart, but when she saw Sol signaling, she could only suppress her nervousness and walk towards the white villain.

Pei’er on her left was still desperately shaking her head, not wanting to enter the container made by Ophelia at all.

Unfortunately, she was not the one who held the initiative in this bonded soul.

After Nerella crouched down and touched the small white figure, she was sucked right in.

The wooden flinty villain then became animated, looking at her hands and lifting her legs as she adjusted to her new body.

Five senses also grew on the little man’s round head, but it was just a few holes.

“Nerilla?”

“Master.”

“Pelle?”

“Hmph!”

Saul raised his hand and tried to pick them up, however before his hand could touch the villain, the latter suddenly dodged backward with a big jump and turned to run towards Ophelia on the high platform.

“Master, this body moves on its own, not under my control!” Nerella cried out in fear.

Instead of chasing after him, Sol got up and asked Ophelia, “Your Excellency, Pei’er and Nerella stayed behind to bond with you, please don’t tie them down too much.”

After saying that, Saul also secretly mobilized the power of his diary, and only let go of his heart after realizing that he could still easily take back the two’s spirit bodies, only that his face remained serious.

“Heh, don’t worry, it’s not like I’m going to eat them. It’s just to make sure they don’t run amok.”

Sure enough, the little white figures ran onto the raised platform before stopping and regaining control of Nerella.

“Then, go ahead and head back, I’ll have Ona drop you off. Next, you can call on her for anything you need.”

Ophelia suddenly said the word “any” a bit heavier.

Saul nodded and took one last look at Pelle and Nerella on the high platform before leaving the main hall.

Outside the main hall, the sunlight was blinding, and Witch Oona was standing under it.

She abruptly didn’t wear her black sorcerer’s robes, but changed into a dark green court dress, with obsidian embellished on the neckline and hemline, making her skin look fairer than snow.

“Sorcerer Sol.” Oona smiled brightly.

Sol suddenly understood what Ophelia meant by ‘any need’.

However, the other party hadn’t said that she would provide this kind of service before, so why did she suddenly turn on color seduction today?

Although Saul and Ophelia were now in a cooperative relationship, the other party and Saul himself actually had their own plans in their stomachs.

In the face of such an opponent, Saul did not have the slightest interest, even if it was for the purpose of confusing the opponent, there was no intention to deal with it.

“Hello, Witch Oona, I’ll go back first.”

Ona walked up quickly, not intentionally displaying her poise, but she was beautiful in her own right, and with her bright smile, she looked like a sight like a summer flower.

“Sorcerer Sol is also having a hard time running around for the city lord these days, why don’t you go to my place first, have a drink or two, and relax?”

Sol shook his head, “I don’t drink.”

“Not wine.” Ona covered her lips and smiled, “It’s cream soup.”

Still shaking his head, Saul turned away, raising his arm in a casual wave, “No, I’d better get back to my water.”
