Chapter 787: Looking for your guardian.
Chapter 787 – Finding Your Guardian
“Does it hurt?” Sol looked down at Mina.
He got the news still too late.
Or maybe this second-order wizard had struck too soon.
By the time he found the little girl, the other party was already on the lab table, half of her head sliced off.
But the little girl didn’t seem to feel any pain at all, nor was she scared, she just giggled after seeing Saul.
“It doesn’t hurt, brother.”
The silver butterflies, invisible to others, fluttered in the air, their mouths making “slurping” sounds.
“Aiyaa, this little girl is a natural psychic body, and when an ordinary sorcerer eats her brain, her mental body can gain secondary development. Brother Saul, do you want to try it? Although you’re so powerful that you probably won’t be able to enhance much, fly meat is still meat!”
As a Nightmare Butterfly, Penny had absolutely no sympathy for humans, instead, the first thing she thought of was to let Saul eat the little girl.
However, Mina shifted her gaze to the silver butterfly precisely as Penny spoke.
“The little butterfly can talk.”
Sol tried to pet the little girl’s head out of habit, but looked at the soft, pink, fleshy tissue and dropped her hand.
“You can see the Nightmare Butterfly?”
Mina tried to nod, but couldn’t move, “Nightmare butterflies? That’s a pretty name.”
She looked at the silver butterfly again, then her big black eyes turned to Sol, “Brother, are you going to eat me?”
“Still considering.”
Mina blinked her eyes, “If it’s brother who wants to eat Mina, Mina is still happy. But can brother let Mina say goodbye to daddy?”
Penny landed on Sol’s shoulder, “Geez, the little girl complimented me on my nice name, so why don’t you let her say goodbye to her dad, brother Sol.”
Saul ignored Penny and just said to Mina, “Your dad will probably be sad when he sees you like this.”
“That’s okay.” Mina said, “Dad said he would definitely see you again once he said ‘goodbye’. When I finish saying goodbye to Daddy, we’ll meet again later. Maybe Daddy’s next child will be me too.”
Saul watched Mina silently, listening to her words, whether childish or bizarre, and seemed to hesitate.
Although Parin on the side saw the suddenly appearing Saul and heard his conversation with Mina, he did not act rashly.
He understood all too well how powerful a sorcerer who could instantly appear in a room where he had arranged a heavy defense spell formation was.
Without mentioning anything else, let’s just say that the ability to move instantly was basically something only a fourth-ranked sorcerer could master. Sorcerers who did not reach the fourth rank but could move instantly all possessed terrifying strength.
Therefore, after Palin realized that Saul was not simple, he didn’t even have the idea of going up to snatch back his “things”.
He only hoped that after making the little girl into a potion, the sorcerer in front of him would treat him as if he didn’t exist and directly leave this place.
Just then, he suddenly saw the male sorcerer glancing up at himself. Then the world in front of him suddenly changed.
It turned into a world filled with various colors and light.
In this world, he turned into a mess of lines.
Palin panicked and tried to sort himself out and organize himself, but he couldn’t find the ends of the lines ……
Watching the ugly old wizard in front of him wave his hands in bewilderment, Saul knew that he had fallen into a dream created by the Nightmare Butterfly.
This dream world referenced the setting of the Phantasmagoria World, and the other party, a second-ranked sorcerer, would probably have gone crazy just by looking at it.
Casually resolving the people who might get in the way, Saul lowered his head and said to Mina, “You’re too young to make such an important decision. I’d better ask your guardian.” Mina looked at Saul sharply.
She didn’t know what a guardian was. But before she could open her mouth to ask, Sol’s figure suddenly disappeared.
Mina’s eyes widened at once.
She wondered if she was seeing another vision of whatever her dad was talking about, and she tried to raise her hand to scratch where Saul had just existed, but she could no longer move a finger.
Just as Mina was bewildered, Saul’s figure suddenly appeared in its original position again.
And beside him, there was also a man with bloodshot eyes and incomparable exhaustion.
“Mina ！！！！”
Paul, who had been left at Nero’s house waiting for news, didn’t expect Saul to suddenly appear in front of his eyes, and he didn’t have time to think about it more than to ask if he had found his daughter.
But Saul didn’t say anything, just pressed one hand on his shoulder, and then Paul’s field of vision turned into lines that were stretched infinitely.
He felt dizzy all of a sudden, his brain and skull constantly banging as if he was going to explode the next second!
And just when he was about to be unable to bear it, the world in front of him returned to its original state.
But Paul could not have imagined that before he recovered from the dizziness, he saw a scene that made his eyes widen in horror!
He actually saw his lovely and well-behaved daughter, who had lost the upper half of her head, lying helplessly on a metal lab bench covered in blood!
“Mina ！！！！”
He wanted to step forward and hug Mina, but the vertigo brought about by the instantaneous movement just now caused his knees to go weak and he was about to fall.
At the critical moment, Saul picked up Paul and raised his hand to slap him on the forehead.
Spiritual energy trembled madly, and Paul, who was about to collapse, calmed down a lot at once.
He powerlessly twisted his head to look at Saul, the shock and anger that had just surfaced the first time he saw Mina all turned into endless sadness and pain.
“Lord Saul, please, save my daughter!”
Tears and snot flowed out uncontrollably, this poor father no longer saw his once grim and arrogant demeanor.
Saul let go of the other party and clasped his hands to his chest, “I brought you here to confirm, this daughter, do you still want it?”
If it was usual, Paul would have been incomparably angry when he heard such a question.
Even if he was facing a sorcerer who didn’t know how powerful he was, he wouldn’t give the other party a good face.
But looking at Mina at this moment, he didn’t even care to think about how hurtful Saul’s question was, and nodded his head repeatedly, “I want it, I want it!”
Sol nodded and looked at Mina.
Mina wasn’t looking at Saul anymore at this point.
She stared at her father, watching Paul cry until he had no image of himself, and with a small mouth, she was about to start crying as well.
Saul didn’t want to watch a big and a small crying together, and quickly said, “There are two kinds of wants. One is that I can give you her soul, although you are only a third level apprentice, you should have no problem preserving a resentful spirit.”
Paul tried to stop crying, his brain was already racing.
If his daughter turned into a spirit, how to protect her, how to maintain her consciousness clear?
Saul didn’t wait for Paul to think clearly before saying the next way.
“The other way, I can guarantee that she will live, but her form mold, and physical attributes, will probably change drastically.”
“Can you …… accept your daughter to become a horrible monster?”
Paul’s head snapped up, his lips twitching, but he didn’t hesitate for more than a second.
“Which is safer for her?”
