Chapter 786 – We meet again, brother
Chapter 786 – Meeting Again, Brother
Nero didn’t expect Nathan to bring Mentor Sol here when he said he wanted to bring in help.
But Mentor Saul was only a first rank mentor, so what if he had recently taken up a position at the Practice Academy?
Sorcerer Palin was also a senior member of the Practice Academy, he wouldn’t care about a talented newcomer.
“Instructor Saul, Sorcerer Palin probably won’t listen to our pleas.” Nero respected Sol and didn’t want the other party to take risks, especially for an ordinary person.
Nathan, who had followed Sol over, stepped forward and pulled Nero away, “Mentor Sol is not here to plead for mercy.”
Nero looked at Nathan in disbelief.
Nathan hadn’t been to the Grand Lecture Hall since he had been promoted to official wizard.
Nero didn’t expect him to be so close to Instructor Saul, and it looked like it wasn’t just a friendship in the classroom.
“The two of you wait here.” Saul did not explain anything to Nero as he tilted his head and looked at the small white-walled and gray-tiled building in front of him, his gaze sweeping over the gray-green moss that snaked through the walls, his mind pondering.
Nero wasn’t stupid either, judging from Nathan’s reaction and Saul’s aura, Mentor Saul didn’t seem to be that simple.
He had just successfully promoted to the first rank of official sorcerer, but looking at Saul he still felt unfathomable.
Maybe Mentor Saul …… is more than one rank?
Saul let the two wait for him outside, while he himself stepped into the house in front of him.
This house outside the use of plants and house lines arranged a very obscure defense spell formation and early warning spell formation.
However, these formations can withstand sorcerers below the second order, but they are of little use to Saul.
He had several ways to enter without alerting the people inside.
However, for the sake of Mina’s safety, Saul chose the most covert method.
He raised his hand and a silver butterfly drifted out from his fingertips.
The butterfly was only the size of a grain of rice at first, then it grew larger and larger until it was like the palm of an adult’s hand.
It flapped its wings noiselessly and disappeared into the masonry tiled room without causing the slightest movement.
The two newly-promoted formal wizards beside it looked blankly at the empty space between Sol and the house.
They just seemed to have seen something, and then seemed to have found nothing, in a trance, as if they had dozed off in the middle of the night.
In a gloomy room.
A wizard with white hair, messy beard, and rough skin that looked like it had been burned by fire was standing in front of a blood-spattered lab bench.
On the experiment table was lying the little girl he brought back today.
The little girl had been under a spell, and her body was weak and her limbs were spread out.
But she was still conscious.
Faced with the gloomy room, the dim candles, and the ghastly old man before her, she showed no fear of awe.
This made Parson very satisfied, lacking the certainty that the little girl in front of him was a natural psychic.
A natural born psychic, without the need to learn the knowledge of witchcraft can see the invisible spirits and visions of ordinary people.
They grew up in a world of horror and eeriness.
A delicious roasted goose in the eyes of a normal person is a gray limb with thick syrup in the eyes of a natural born psychic.
The pink and white flower petals flying in the sky may be the slivers of lips that are wide open but unable to make a sound.
The sunny streets of a city can turn into a horrible hell where giant worms crawl through from time to time.
Natural born psychics live in fear for years, but these fears cannot really hurt them. After a long time, their fear will turn into numbness little by little, and finally turn into monsters that lack emotion.
But the little girl Palin found this time was not quite the same. She didn’t have the kind of numbness that natural psychics had. Instead, she looked like an overly calm little girl.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Parin himself possessed a strong psychic talent, a hasty glance from an onlooker wouldn’t have realized the little girl’s specialness.
And although Palin found the little girl’s specialness, he couldn’t immediately determine that the other party was a natural born psychic, so in order to confirm his guess, he did a very direct experiment.
He took the little girl’s forehead – off.
A centimeter above her eyebrows, she went straight under the knife, and then took off the upper half of her head, revealing the pinkish-white, slightly quivering brain tissue.
Because of the witchcraft, the little girl didn’t feel any pain, and her eyes were still rolling. There was not the slightest fear in her eyes, only curiosity and doubt.
Every now and then, she made an effort to roll her eyes upwards, as if she wanted to see the wound on top of her head.
Or in her vision as a natural psychic, there was already something that was slowly crawling outwards from inside the wound in her skull.
It all seemed so terrifying.
Although the exterior of this house was beautifully decorated in the usual style of Sky City, its interior could never change the coldness and cruelty of the master of the house.
Perhaps it was because he thought that kidnapping the relatives of a third level sorcerer apprentice wasn’t a big deal, the second rank sorcerer Palin didn’t even have the slightest idea of hiding his intentions.
He wasn’t afraid that the little girl’s father would come back and seek revenge on him.
If the other party was really so ungrateful, then let him turn into a corpse and feed the flowers.
Looking at the little girl’s brain tissue, Palin found an answer that satisfied him.
“It’s true that it’s a natural psychic who hasn’t derived any magic power at all yet, the freshest of fruits.”
Palin was already thinking about how he was going to turn the little girl into a potion to enhance his mental body.
The half skull in his hand was still dripping blood, and Palin casually threw the no-longer-useful bone into the large water tank by the wall.
“Wow!”
“Clatter – bang!”
The skull fell into the water with a small splash.
But then, the shadows hidden underwater burst out, pouncing on the bones that fell into the tank, like a fierce dog that had been starving for three days, slapping even bigger waves.
Only the tank was deep and large. The stirring waves slapped against the glass, but in the end, they could only slide down powerlessly.
And the creature in the tank, after devouring the blood-stained skull, gradually sank lower, lurking in the shadows under the water, and disappeared.
“Should we make it into a potion and take it directly, or should we make it into a sorcery prop first?” After determining the identity of the little girl, Parin was however a little hesitant.
Making it into a potion would be a one-time boost of spiritual power, but if he didn’t absorb it efficiently, there was a possibility that it would be wasted.
Making it into a sorcery prop, such as a flesh and blood hat, could be used for a long period of time, but it was a bit slower, and could only boost spiritual power through accumulation over time.
It was more efficient to utilize it in this way, but in Sky City, which was full of high-ranked sorcerers, there was a risk of it being snatched away.
“Especially those old guys in the Practice Academy, using the name of a research reference can be a hundred years of IOUs!” Thinking of what he had been through, Palin still angrily made up his mind, “Just make it into a potion directly, although the utilization rate is a bit low, but at least I’m the only one who can enjoy it!”
After saying that, he turned back and went to the cabinet behind him to get a reagent.
However, when he turned around again, he was shocked to find that a young man had silently appeared beside the little girl.
The man looked down at the little girl.
The little girl also struggled to open her eyes wide and look at the man before revealing a sweet smile.
“Hello again, brother.”
