Chapter 900: Highest Priority
Chapter 887 Highest Priority
Saul leaves the Black Desert to find Noah, giving Kori and Byron a little time to digest.
After all, not anyone who hears that they’re going to have to deal with a fourth-ranked sorcerer with one of the biggest powers in the world can calm down quickly.
Saul hadn’t just risen to the idea of confronting Frim.
As early as when he heard that the shadow of the Judgment Court was hidden behind the rebellious actions of the Golsa Sorcerer’s Tower, he had thought about how he would fight against it if the Judgment Court one day issued a mandatory death sentence against him.
It was just that he was still too weak to think about it in the first place, so the thought had been pressed to the bottom of his heart.
Until he was semi-toughly invited to the Eternal Night, Saul had honestly hidden this thought of his.
Until Frim suddenly imprisoned him and took one of his arms without warning.
That day, Saul’s long-hidden desire to fight the Court of Judgment rekindled!
Frim was able to easily take one of his arms when he wanted to study his talent, and he was also able to directly kill Saul for experimentation when the other side deemed it necessary.
And Saul’s knack for absorbing and processing Black Tide pollution is one of the abilities that Frim needs most.
The other party had never seen Saul’s ability at first, even if it was true, and Saul was not the only one who could treat the pollution.
Saul appeared stealthily next to Noah, and saw that he was standing behind Scorpion, watching Scorpion deal with things.
Saul had White Bone stay high in the sky, where people couldn’t notice, and he himself instantly moved to Noah’s side.
Coming back after half a year, it seems that something has changed here again.
Of course, there was no way that Saul would be foolish enough to just go up to Mang with both Kori and Byron.
The population outside the city had gotten bigger, but most of them were slaves in shackles.
“The first helper, needless to say, Mentor Golza. Frim is the one who is planning to assassinate Mentor. The second one, well, I think the Emperor of Black Flame would be interested in knowing Stuart’s whereabouts.”
While Saul was thinking about what forces to unite to fight against Frim, the White Bone Flying Lizard had already carried him to the sky above Blackwater City.
Saul’s talent coupled with Frim’s ego led to a situation where it was impossible for the two to reconcile.
Gods can’t always appear in front of people, so this time it’s only necessary for Noah to know he’s coming over.
At this time, Noah was dressed in a black robe, and on top of the robe was a white half-skull with a scale underneath it. This seemed to be the emblem of the Church designed by Noah, the emblem was a pattern printed with sorcery, the productivity here could not produce such a beautifully detailed pattern.
It seemed that Noah had already begun his foreign conquests and had gained some battle results.
He was very good at finding himself a backer. Just like in the beginning when he found Byron to help himself against Sid.
Noah frowned slightly as he watched from the sidelines, but didn’t open his mouth to make a suggestion.
Thor, out of curiosity, also stood behind Scorpion and listened in for a short while, realizing that Scorpion was just taking care of political matters. But he could tell that Scorpion was not a qualified ruler despite his years of training.
He was not strong-willed enough, and always swayed from side to side, one moment thinking that this person was right, and the next moment thinking that that person also had a point, so one thing was discussed and discussed, but he just couldn’t make a decision.
But when Frim discovered the high efficiency and special nature of Sol’s absorption of pollution, coupled with the fact that Sol himself did not show the slightest sign of being contaminated, this is what made Frim’s heart flutter.
By the time Scorpion had managed to settle on a plan and asked another person to report the results and make corrections at any time, an hour had passed.
It would have been fine if what they had just discussed was something important, but Sol sounded like a minor matter concerning the resettlement of the inhabitants.
When everyone had left, Scorpion turned back to Noah with a smug look on his face and said, “How about that, I just acted like a king, didn’t I?” Noah was just about to hold his tongue when he heard a voice in his ears, his face didn’t change but the words that came out became, “Think about it, I’ve got something to do here, I’ll go back first.”
Scorpion at first felt that Noah hadn’t scolded him and felt that he had done a pretty good job, but then he realized that Noah seemed to have the intention of driving him away, as if he had become impatient with him.
Scorpion muttered something, but his voice was blurry and completely inaudible.
Noah couldn’t see Scorpion in this state and turned away.
After Noah left Scorpion’s room, he went out and around the corner, and returned to where he was staying.
After entering, Noah closed the door before he respectfully shouted, “Mentor!”
Sol appeared and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, “You guys were just taking care of political affairs, it seems that the development of Blackwater City is on track.”
Noah smiled somewhat proudly, but his smile turned bitter again, “But I realized that I still thought of many things too simply at first. Although I can build up a powerful force with sorcery, it’s still too difficult to make that force run according to my instructions. There will be a lot of resistance bubbling up that I never thought of.”
Noah sighed, “And Scorpion isn’t a competent leader. When I was the first to meet him, plus the fact that he had also met you, I acted closer to Scorpion in order to better integrate with the clans here, causing them all to think that Scorpion had a high status with me, and gradually pushed him into the position of leader. But as time went on, I realized that Scorpion wasn’t fit to be a leader.”
Saul didn’t care about that, “If it’s not suitable, then change it.”
“I put in a lot of effort to push Scorpion onto the stage in the first place, and now it would be even more costly to replace him. After all, Scorpion has already built up a high reputation.”
“Don’t worry about the sunk costs, it’s time to replace it. There aren’t many resources you’re using here.”
As a result, Noah thought about it, but still had no intention of replacing it, he just looked at Sol hopefully, “Mentor, is there any way we can directly modify Scorpion’s body?”
Saul looked at Noah, “How do you want to remodel it?”
Noah’s eyes burned, “I want to make Scorpion very powerful, strong enough to be invincible in the general battlefield. Conquer all the hostile clans in the known realm as soon as possible.”
Thor reminded Noah, “The cost of super-modifying the bodies of ordinary people is often life.”
Noah, however, smiled.
Sol suddenly understood Noah’s thoughts, “You want Scorpion to die at the top, leaving a spiritual leader behind, and subsequently replacing him with a successor who is more capable, but not as prestigious?”
Noah’s smile suddenly froze and he asked in shock, “You, how did you know that?”
“Probably from reading too many …… books.” Saul casually brought it up, “You don’t even have to ask me about that. Didn’t I leave Ann behind to help you? Ann is well versed in flesh and blood sorcery, so you can just ask her directly.”
Noah hadn’t thought at all that what Ann was proficient in was flesh and blood sorcery, because the other party never conducted sorcery research or study over here, and only relied on the sharp spider legs that could turn into the lower half of a spider’s body to harvest the enemy’s life.
It had turned into a powerful spider woman warrior.
“By the way, isn’t Anne here?”
Thor tried to sense Ann’s presence, the other party seemed to be quite far away, and the connection between the two was somewhat iffy.
“Ah, Lord An is leading a team to collect white bone monsters, your business, of course, is the highest priority.”
