Chapter 917: Spying on the Enemy
Chapter 904: Spying on the Enemy
Frim tempts Saul with the position of Lord of the Court of Judgment, but Saul isn’t interested.
Not to mention the incredibly difficult preconditions, even if he directly asked Saul to succeed him now, Saul didn’t want to take it.
The Court of Judgment was different from the Rheinland City in the Lordless Land. Rheinland City does not have such intricate forces, and even if it did, it would take more than ten years to develop.
Even if it did, it would take more than ten years to develop. By that time, it was not certain whether Saul would still be in the Land of the Unknowns or not.
After Frim left a large pie, his voice did not sound again, and Byron let out a long breath, “His figure is gone. Should be gone.”
Thor heard Byron agree that the other man had left, and actually turned abruptly and headed out the door.
Byron was unsure, but did not ask, but silently followed Saul.
Saul arrived at the entrance of the castle and pulled the door inward to see two wizards, one tall and one short, still guarding the door.
“Are you going to keep guarding this place?” Saul asked them directly.
The short wizard turned around with an inexplicable smile on his face, “Yes, if you need anything, you can tell us.”
There were no particularly rare materials.
As long as he could communicate with the World of Illusion, Thor, even though he was locked up in this castle, did not delay him from communicating with the outside world and controlling things.
It didn’t take long for the dwarf wizard to send over all the materials as Saul requested.
Saul appeared to be hiding the secret used to fight against the pollution of the Black Tide Anchor Point, but he had actually arranged the spell formation to connect to the Illusionary Channel inside, and the inerting formula that Byron had prepared was actually for Saul’s cover-up.
“Shia, how’s it going on your side?”
But in fact, these materials hid all the materials that Saul had used to lay out the sorcery spell formation connecting to the Illusion Channel.
On the magically stabilized platform that the Suicide Demon had casually set up for Saul, Saul contacted Shia at the first opportunity.
Byron immediately came over to help Saul get things ready.
His face looked a little better as he nodded his head and took the parchment away, “Within an hour, you will receive the materials you need.”
Saul nonchalantly took a piece of parchment out of his storage and ordered the dwarf wizard as if he were a henchman.
What Saul wanted were some of the sorcery materials that he had often used during his last visit to Neverwinter Nights, and being unremarkable on the surface, these men would not refuse.
Saul was waiting for these words from the dwarf, “Very well, I’ve just received a commission from Lord Frim Court, I need to do some experiments, you prepare some of all these materials and send them in.”
The dwarf wizard’s face changed slightly, but he still took the parchment and glanced at the contents on it.
“Very well.” Thor nodded and closed the door behind him.
Before the stuff was delivered, Saul and Byron had wandered the castle around. The two then chose a room with a huge window as a temporary laboratory for the two.
Not long after Frim had just left, Saul set up the spell formation, and next, Byron, whose mental power had completely exceeded that of a second-ranked sorcerer, stood sentry for Saul, while Saul closed his eyes and entered the world of illusions.
Saul first set up a spell formation in the room that could isolate prying eyes. Byron, on the other hand, was beside him, arranging the materials for creating the inert formula according to his previous experiments.
[As you instructed, we have delivered a letter to Lord Golza, but he still entered Kemah’s royal palace. Korie-sama didn’t have any direct contact with Golza-sama either. She seems to be afraid of Lord Golza.]
Kori is afraid of Golza?
That’s not surprising. Back then in the Sorcerer’s Tower, Golza, who was the Tower Master, was a very scary existence in the hearts of the other tutors and apprentices.
At that time, he was covered in pink bandages, sleepwalking in the Sorcerer’s Tower every night, with only a pair of silver eyes exposed, and would not intentionally astringent his spiritual pressure, in everyone’s mind was simply a temperamental Daemon King.
Only Saul is young and ignorant, his own spiritual power is also special, so has not been able to feel Golza escaping magic radiation is how terrible, but also privately called people “powder big”.
In retrospect, he could only thank the other party for not killing him.
However, until now, Saul did not really understand what Golza’s mentor was trying to do, and what he really wanted.
But no matter what Mentor Golza was going to do, what he once did had already gained Saul’s trust, and the two had a strange tacit understanding.
This time, Saul also wanted to make good use of this tacit understanding for once.
Making a decision, he turned to Kira, “Kori is right not to see Mentor Golza, her purpose this time is to save Kira, but if she and Mentor Golza act together, the target will be too obvious, instead, it won’t be easy to safely rescue Kira. And with Mentor Golza in the open to draw the attention of all the others, the two of you are acting as if you were walking in the shadows behind the lights, very stealthy.”
Shia’s somewhat exclamatory voice came out.
[You are absolutely right. As a matter of fact, we have found the location where Kira-sama is under house arrest. It’s just strange, she’s not inside Kemah’s royal palace, but in a farming estate on the outskirts of the royal city. Korie and I are waiting outside the manor, intending to find a chance to enter.]
“Kira isn’t in the royal palace? Not even in the royal city?” Upon hearing this news, Sol frowned, “If Yura wanted to threaten Golza with Kira – and of course I highly doubt he was unsuccessful in his threat – then she should have kept Kira close by, or in a well controlled and hidden place. Instead, she sent someone outside the city?”
It’s not like sending them outside the city wouldn’t control Kira’s life or death, but there are too many variables and it’s not necessary.
There were clearly better options.
A thought crossed Thor’s mind, “Yura moved Kira away, was she trying to protect her?”
Shia was directly baffled.
How is this kidnapping someone and using them to blackmail Golza, and it can still be for protection?
Sol continued to analyze, ”There should be a trap in the royal palace, and this trap is most likely aimed at Mentor Golza. Yura sent Kira outside the palace, probably because she didn’t want anything to happen to her in the trap, or maybe she didn’t want her to destroy the trap. After all, Kira is also a senior second rank, and once she goes out on a limb, she is also capable of causing a considerable impact.”
He asked Shia, “Did you guys find anything special in the Kemah Capitol as well as the Kemah Royal Palace. Especially Keri, she lived there for a few years, did she notice any differences?”
Shaya’s side was quiet for a moment, seemingly communicating with Korie.
After a while, Shia replied with some confusion.
[Korie said that many soldiers inside the king’s city were replaced, and the king’s palace we weren’t able to enter, and the person who sent us a message last time didn’t reply to our coded message. It feels like the entire royal palace has been closed off. It’s just that on the outside, you can’t tell where there’s any special changes, the buildings and decorations are all the same as the original.”]
“Other than the people changing, nothing else has changed?” Saul felt strange, Tutor Golza was no ordinary trap to deal with.
After thinking about it, Sol suddenly prompted them, “Are there any changes, visions related to light or light elemental particles?”
Shia hurriedly went to discuss with Kori again.
The two discussed for a moment and finally gave Sol a valuable answer.
[Yes, there is, Korie said that the castle used to rarely turn on the lights during the day, but when we snuck in last time, we found that the rooms inside all the windows we could see were exceptionally bright. At first Korie thought it was because Yura was being overly extravagant and wanted to make it so that all the rooms had to have lights on, since she had always done that in her own room before. She seemed to be afraid of the dark]
“Afraid of the dark? Not necessarily?” Saul had already guessed what the other party was trying to do, and the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer, “I think it’s because Yura had already prepared for this trap when she defected to Kira!”
