Chapter 888: Imprisonment
Chapter 875 Captivity
Saul got up from the ground and realized that nothing was missing from his body, the storage device was there, and no one had touched the contents.
It was as if he just sleepwalked a bit while sleeping and came to this strange place.
He walked over to the wall and reached for it.
It was cold and real to the touch.
It looked like a plain, painted masonry wall.
However, when Saul used his spiritual energy to explore it, he found that his spiritual energy was bounced back.
When he tested it with magic power, the magic power was absorbed by the wall, with no return.
“What a domineering wall.”
Instead of rashly attacking the wall in front of him, Saul looked for a way out along the corridor.
The corridor here ended with a right-angled turn, and went the same distance again, then another right-angled turn.
After turning four corners, Saul surprisingly returned to the place where he had originally set out from.
“A four-square corridor, no entrance, no exit, the walls isolate mental detection and magic power, only the owner of this place should be able to enter and exit at will. I should have been brought in by instantaneous sorcery.”
It was Frim.
Without much thought, Saul had already guessed the culprit who had brought himself here.
“Lord Frim, purposely bringing me here, is there something you want to explain?”
The other party finally did not play dumb with Saul, his voice resounded within the corridor, indistinguishable from its source, overlapping like an echo.
“You stay here for now.”
Sol frowned, “Is there any difference between staying here and staying in the Palace of Eternal Night? I’m not going to wander off. Besides, I still have a lot of experiments to do. Over at the Red Sea, the mithril has only just been planted and will have to be carefully watched over afterwards. You are not thinking of secluding me here, are you?”
Yet Frim did not respond to Sol again.
Saul sighed, the other party didn’t make a move, he didn’t even have a chance to dismantle it.
There was no day and night rotation here, no measurement of time, and he could only rely on his own state to time his stay here.
After about three hours, a figure came from the corner of the square corridor.
It was only when he came around the corner that Saul realized the fluctuation of spiritual power emanating from the other party.
Before that, it was as if the person didn’t exist.
Was he also teleported here out of nowhere?
The person who came in was a beautiful witch, and by the looks of it, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but she was already a second-ranked sorcerer.
She respectfully walked up to Sol and performed a witch’s salute.
“Lord Saul, my name is Leah, a second-ranked sorceress who majors in the dark attribute. The court master asked me to serve you here, so you can order me whatever you need.”
Saul narrowed his eyes and confirmed, “Are you sure that you can be commanded whatever you need.”
Leah tilted her head to look at Saul, her pretty face slightly red, “Yes, Lord Saul, anything you need can be commanded.”
Saul clasped his hands to his chest, “I’m going to see Midori.”
Leah pursed her lips and said condescendingly, “I’m sorry Lord Saul, I don’t have the power to let you out.”
Saul bristled, knowing in his heart that would be the answer. He raised his hand and a huge pink couch appeared behind him, he then relaxed closer to the couch, “Then let me ask you, why did Lord Frim Court bring me here? When will I be able to get out? Or is there a price I need to pay to get out?”
Leah’s face turned whiter and whiter the more she listened, and finally said at a loss for words, “I’m sorry, Lord Saul, I don’t know any of this.”
It was rare for Saul to encounter such a weak girl since he became a full-fledged wizard.
The last one seemed to be a classmate named Annie from his apprenticeship days. But that Annie died a long time ago.
This Leah in front of him could become a second-order, so surely she wouldn’t be as weak as she appeared to be.
“Then what can you do?”
Finally hearing a question that could be answered, Leah puffed out her chest, “I can assist you in your experiments. You can tell me whatever materials you need. And although I can’t help you leave the Lost Cloisters, if you want to know anything about the outside world, including Midori, I can help you go and gather information.”
Thor crossed his fingers and placed them on his thighs, thinking about Frim’s intentions.
“The Lost Cloisters? Is this the Lost Cloister, the Lost Cloister that once housed Royer’s soul so that he could be resurrected immediately? But I don’t see anyone else’s soul here. Maybe it’s because this place can separate spaces and I’m being held here alone.”
“Frim had the Black Flame Emperor Aero take his place when the Black Tide appeared and he was needed the most, but he blurred the crowd’s vision and sneaked off to another place. And then rushed back before Ai Luo restarted the defense spell. Then he at least secretly went to a place far away, or else he wouldn’t have appeared when the Red Sea Tree was much damaged.”
“This thing he did was very important and needed to be very stealthy. He must be avoiding being discovered by the other Fourth Order.”
What was it that Frim had to hide from the other Fourth Order as well?
Ophelia was currently researching to advance to the Fifth Order, but after the failure of the Water God’s method last time, it was expected that there wouldn’t be any substantial progress in a short period of time.
And the Murphy wizard of the Wall of Sighs hadn’t seemed to have any other ideas, leading the wizards against the Black Tide for long years.
The frequency of the Black Tide coming from the Wall of Sighs side seemed to be a bit higher than the Neverwinter Nights side.
There was no reason for Frim to go looking for him, and there was no way he would destroy the facilities for resisting the Black Tide.
As for the Stargate Council?
Rather, it was possible that the Ruling Court and the Stargate Council were now part of a division, with their own claims, but there were definitely conflicting points of view.
Perhaps Frim was trying to do something that conflicted with the Stargate Council, and that was why he was hiding his whereabouts.
It was a pity that Saul didn’t know much about Golza’s recent situation, and had absolutely no idea what the other party had done to anger Frim, so he hadn’t been thinking about his mentor.
Currently, Saul just thought that Frim was going up against the Stargate Council, so although he was imprisoned in this place called the Lost Cloisters, he wasn’t in a hurry either.
“Well, since you can’t help me get out of here either, go and sort through all the information about Midori for me. I’m going to continue my research.”
Saul chose to say that, for one thing, to help Midol grow as quickly as possible; if she could cover the entire southeastern coast, she’d become a pivotal player to the Red Sea Tree. And with Xander running the show, Midol definitely wouldn’t turn into an existence that would be bullied like a mermaid. After all, there was only one Midol, unlike the mermaids who had thousands of them. It could be wasted at will.
Secondly, it was also to imply to Flim that he was currently a person of merit to the Judgment Court, and to Nefertiti. If the other party wanted to do something to him, they would have to weigh it up.
However, Saul had underestimated Frim’s determination.
On the second day of his imprisonment in the Lost Cloisters, instead of waiting for Leah, who was outside gathering information, he heard Frim’s voice again.
“Saul, I want one of your arms.”
Saul was currently standing in front of the experiment table he had taken out of the storage, when he suddenly heard Frim’s words, his face was solemn, and his figure immediately flickered as he stepped backward.
Although he couldn’t leave the Lost Cloisters, he had also created temporary coordinates in all four corridors, so that he could conveniently dodge in case of emergency.
However, when his figure appeared in another corridor, his right arm was the entirety of it disappeared!
