Chapter 902: Anne and Lucia

Chapter 889: Ann and Lucia

Even with the White Bone Flying Lizard, it took Saul a day to get to where Ann was.

Of course, halfway there, he helped the young apprentice deal with some troubles.

Such as some dangerous monsters lurking under the land.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that Saul needed Noah to quickly build up a huge power so that he could collect the white bone monsters scattered in the chaotic domain as soon as possible, it would be better to let Noah face these dangers on his own.

It was better to let him grow smoothly now.

As for the necessary setbacks in growing up, he thought that Noah had tasted them all long before he was ten years old.

At the end of the long and short flight, Saul jumped down over the location where he sensed Ann was.

His body was like a feather, soft and gentle, swaying in the wind as he slowly descended.

At the same time, Saul was still observing the situation on the ground.

“Out of the thirteen pieces, five of them may have come from the same white bone monster.”

But there was no An inside.

First there was Ann’s voice, which sounded softer than even before.

To Saul’s slight surprise, he realized that Ann hadn’t come down alone, she had a little girl by her side.

As Saul fell, he saw signs of someone stationed next to the crack.

There was no light source in the underground crevice, and Saul descended all the way down until he spotted Ann’s shadow.

The silhouette looked fifteen or sixteen years old, about Noah’s age.

Two tents, a campfire, and three men on hidden duty at different angles. There were seven or eight other people in the tents, looking to be in the middle of a meal.

Saul casually swept through and determined that these people did not have the white bone monsters he needed in their bags, so his figure seemed to be blown by the wind, turned a little angle, and fell into the crack of the earth that could not see the bottom.

The crack was so deep that it was as if the land had been broken in two.

“Or maybe half, Mentor, that’s what you said last time.”

“…… So did you find anything?”

The little girl’s voice came, “Mentor, I can’t see anything.”

It was a wasteland, but there was a crack in the center of the earth.

“Hee hee ……”

“This is the thirteenth piece here. Do you see anything?”

“Lucia!”

Ann seemed to have gone deeper into the crack.

Although the surrounding area was dark, Saul’s mental power had already outlined Anne’s outline.

Sol came down noiselessly, so Ann was still talking to the girl.

“Yes, that means we’re likely to find a third complete white bone monster here.”

Saul listened to them talk and a smile brought up on his face.

It was surprising that Ann had taken on a young apprentice in the chaotic domain.

The people here didn’t have the ability to cast sorcery, but their mental strength was generally stronger than the ordinary people in the Wizard World.

If they had the opportunity to enter the wizard world, perhaps many of them could become wizard apprentices.

However, Saul didn’t expect that Ann would find so many remains of white bone monsters here. If there were enough of them, it was indeed possible to spell out a complete white bone monster.

It was just that Saul wasn’t sure now, the complete white bone monsters he had gotten before had shown certain undead characteristics, and he didn’t know if those white bone monsters spelled out later would also be able to prepare a certain amount of lucid consciousness.

“Ann.” Saul’s voice rang in Ann’s mind.

Ann was stunned, and Lucia on her back was suddenly thrown off by her straightened back, falling directly towards the deeper chasm.

However, Ann reacted quickly and directly stretched out a spider leg, hooked Lucia’s waistband, and carried the person back.

Lucia wasn’t too alarmed, and could probably relate to the fact that she couldn’t see the abyss below her body.

She just said with some complaints, “Mentor, you forgot that I’m on your back again.”

“Ahem, I’ll walk you up first.” An also didn’t wait for Lucia to object, and directly flew upwards with her hands and eight feet.

Then after less than a minute, she climbed back up and lit a torch.

In the chaotic domain, she had also gotten used to using ordinary tools as much as possible instead of using sorcery.

After all, here, her magic power could only be replenished with magic crystals smuggled from the Witch World. Even fourth-ranked sorcerers had to be careful with their own magic power.

“Master!” An’s clear features appeared next to the torch, and she looked a bit more lively than before.

So sometimes, physical exhaustion could relieve mental stress.

Because a lot of times mental stress is just from thinking too much about nothing.

Seeing Anne’s current state, Saul felt that he had made the right decision in leaving her in the Chaotic Domain in the first place.

“You’ve gained quite a lot here.”

Ann nodded, “We found many white bone monsters buried very deep underground, so I think this chasm is so deep that I didn’t find the end of it even when I probed with my spiritual power, and it’s very likely that such a deep place hides the complete white bone monsters we’re looking for.”

Ann opened a backpack she had just taken down to show Saul, “Look, we just came over here for a few days, and we harvested more than the previous months.”

Saul scanned down and determined that inside were the remains of many white bone monsters. Some of the remains were relatively large, and as Ann had said before, they had the potential to piece together a complete white bone monster.

This was ultimately a good thing to refresh the research progress.

“Most of these remains were found in the surrounding walls.” Ann added softly.

“There’s this much in the walls, so is there more down there?”

Ann, however, shook her head hesitantly, “I don’t know, I …… didn’t dare go down there.”

Saul froze, Ann wasn’t someone who lacked courage, “Are you finding something wrong?”

“I had tried to go deeper down, but the further down I went, the more panicked I was and the more pressure I felt. It always feels like it keeps going down and won’t come to an end.”

“It won’t go to the end?” Saul looked down at his feet, which were pitch black, and in his mental scanning, he hadn’t found out how deep the bottom was located yet.

“Yes, I always feel that there is no bottom here, if I fall, I will keep falling.”

“Then you still brought your young apprentice down? From what she said, he has been thrown down by you several times?”

Ann slightly blushed, “I can catch up with the speed of her descent. Besides, I’m always distracted when I’m watching the ground alone. Lucia has thick nerves, and when I talk to her, I forget for a moment that there’s a bottomless world beneath my feet.”

So it was that Ann’s little apprentice was the one she brought along to bolster her nerves. And Ann was deliberately indulging Lucia in saying offensive things, which would bring the two closer together and make it easier to say more.

“However, the deeper I go down, the more white bone remains I find down there. So I’ll still try my best to go downward afterward.” Ann endeavored to prove that she would still complete the task that Saul had given her.

“You don’t need to rush, safety comes first.” Saul waved his hand, there was no need for Ann to be born to die right now, “I’ll go down and take a look myself.”
