Chapter 812: Old acquaintance
Chapter 812: Old Acquaintance
In fact, with Saul’s status as a Third Order Sorcerer, even the Emperor of the Neverwinter Nights Empire should have greeted him personally.
But Saul wasn’t going to care about that, and he didn’t necessarily respect the other party anyway.
The few ministers and nobles of the Neverwinter Nights did respectfully gather around the side, but they didn’t dare to go forward without Saul’s gesture.
There were also a few hand-picked beautiful women in the group, of all ages, and although most of the wizards didn’t care about their appearance, there were those few who delayed their beauty.
In case they could be taken in, it would be one more big backer ah!
Unfortunately, this time Saul didn’t even look at them, and directly stepped on the golden carpet and boarded the carriage leading to the Eternal Night King’s Palace.
Saul thought that he would take the carriage to meet the emperor of the eternal night. However, after the carriage pulled him to the eternal night palace, it directly arranged for him to stay in a gorgeous and spacious palace.
All of the living supplies were complete, exquisite and expensive, as if they were all the highest grade appliances of the Eternal Night sent up for Saul to use.
However, unlike the generous material treatment, no one paid attention to Saul after he entered the palace.
It was not that no one paid attention to him, there were an unknown number of guards and maids standing outside the door, as long as Saul gave a single command, there were hundreds of people to serve him.
However, the person who really should come to see Saul never appeared.
Compare this to the Emperor of the Eternal Night, compare this to the people of the Court of Judgment.
But Saul wasn’t in a hurry, they were the ones who invited themselves to solve the problem of the mermaids being contaminated by the Black Tide anyway, and he was prepared to stay in the Nefret continent for the first half of the year.
The big deal would be to develop this palace into a second laboratory.
Anyway, Saul had a large amount of sorcery materials and experimental equipment with him inside his storage.
And in case there were any emergencies that required one to return, I believed that Byron and Korie would be able to make the decision to create a pseudo eye of the wind.
With these preparations, Saul was relieved to stay inside this gorgeous and empty palace.
It was not until the evening of the third day that someone finally took the initiative to knock on the palace’s door.
Saul didn’t get up right away, he was thinking about what person he could choose as the third target of his Symphony of Fate on this side of the Eternal Night.
Therefore, when the knock sounded, Saul did not answer the door at first.
And the person outside the door was also very patient, and it took another five minutes before he knocked for the second time.
“Come in.”
Saul put down his pen and paper; he wasn’t sure of his target yet.
He knew too little about Nefret, and he hadn’t had much contact with anyone else except for the Court of Judgment’s Lord Frim.
And through contact with the lines of the Phantom World’s self-proclaimed suicidal demons, he knew that the target he chose should be a courageous person who could face the constant ups and downs of fate, rather than a strong person who was already standing at the top of the world.
So Frim wouldn’t be a good choice.
“There’s no rush, I still have a long time to observe anyway.” Saul raised his head, and at that exact moment, the palace’s door was pushed open from the outside.
Outside the door, there stood a third-ranked sorcerer.
This Third Order Sorcerer had a pair of inverted triangular eyes, and the corners of his mouth were also slightly downcast, looking like he had a bad temper.
However, he still endeavored to show a courteous smile when facing Saul.
It was just that this smile did nothing more than pull the corners of his downturned mouth to a flat line.
“Greetings, Lord Saul.”
Seeing a wizard of his own rank, Saul didn’t take a stand and simply stood up.
“Greetings, Your Excellency?”
The sorcerer with inverted triangle eyes walked in then, “I am the court sorcerer of the eternal night, Alfonso. Majoring in dark attribute elements.”
“Coincidentally, so am I.” Sol joked.
But the serious Alfonso clearly didn’t think it was a joke.
“It’s not a coincidence, we both majored in the dark attribute element, and we’re only together today to study a solution to the black tide pollution.”
Seeing that the other party’s personality was as serious as his appearance, Saul shrugged indifferently, “Alright, then can we get down to business now? After coming here for a few days, I thought you guys invited me here to put me under house arrest!” “The Lord of the Court did say that you were not to be allowed to wander.”
Alfonso actually directly stated the true intentions of his top boss.
After hearing this, Saul threw the quill in his hand onto the table, “What, afraid that I’ll explore the secrets of the ruling court?”
This time Alfonso didn’t say anything, there was a big wave of acquiescence.
The other party was so direct, Saul was also too lazy to talk nonsense, “Today you came over, is it possible to start researching mermaids? I brought a mermaid over, I don’t know how it differs from your native ones.”
Alfonso quietly waited for Sol to finish before nodding his head, “The fact that you have a mermaid shows that you have some understanding of this race, which is good.”
He then added, “But today, we won’t go to the mermaid side, we’ll go to meet the Emperor of Eternal Night first.”
Sol was stunned.
He hadn’t seen the Emperor of the Neverwinter Nights Empire in the days he had come over, and thought that the other party wasn’t going to show up at all.
Although it didn’t match the grandiose ceremony of being greeted by the great nobles, Saul hadn’t been much interested in things like meeting the emperor either.
He didn’t expect to wait for a few days, but he was actually going to meet him again.
“Could it be that this emperor’s identity isn’t simple either? Is it a sorcerer like Elder Morton?”
“Please don’t resist, I’ll take you there directly.”
Alfonso stretched out his left hand towards Sol, and powerful magic power surged in his palm.
Saul narrowed his eyes, and he actually felt a tremor in space.
“Wow!”
Alfonso’s left hand suddenly burned with black flames, and the flames suddenly burst out again.
In that instant, Saul’s eyes blinked and he realized that the room in front of him had turned into another.
This room was equally exquisite and ornate, the wallpaper patterns on the walls were all woven with rare plant-based sorcery materials.
The tiles under his feet were densely patterned, and there were also sorcery spell formations whose effects were unknown for the time being hidden inside.
Not to mention the other furnishings and decorations, all of which seemed to have the deliberate design handiwork of a sorcerer inside.
Saul swept through the arrangement in front of him and thought, “This emperor is either a high-ranking sorcerer or has some special status.”
However, compared to this emperor’s identity, Saul was now more interested in the Alfonso sorcerer.
After all, the other party had just demonstrated a handful of instantaneous movement sorcery.
A sorcerer who could master instantaneous transfer before the fourth rank, even if it was a crippled type of instantaneous transfer, would have a development prospect that could not be underestimated in the future.
Saul’s heart was moved, “Is this Alfonso suitable to become my third target?”
Seeing Saul pondering, Alfonso waited for a moment before saying, “Your Excellency Saul, the Eternal Night Emperor is right behind you.”
Saul returned to his senses and nodded to Alfonso.
Although he had just come over, he had already realized that there was someone behind him, only that there was no magic power fluctuation on the other party, so he just thought it was a guard or something like that.
It seemed that this emperor was not a sorcerer, even he didn’t have any sorcery props on him.
It didn’t match the room they were in at all!
With a hint of curiosity aroused, Saul turned around, then froze.
The Neverwinter Emperor on the opposite side of the room opened his mouth wide in surprise after seeing Saul’s frontal appearance.
“Lord Saul?”
“Xander? Why are you here?”
Xander, who appeared within the Bluewater Bay Soul Tide storyline, was picked up by someone from the Court of Judgment after the protagonist left.
Also, chapter two is at 10pm.
