Chapter 155: A New Job
Because of the humiliating little algae, Sol sat in Mentor Rum’s lab for another ten minutes before going out.

When Komoro had just appeared from behind his neck, Saul had wondered if the spirit was attached to Komoro.

But seeing how Xiao Zao behaved later, well …… he felt he could rule out that option.

Before leaving, Nick told Saul that the share of the quest reward that belonged to him had already been claimed by Byron on his behalf.

Saul could go to Byron’s dormitory to ask him for it at any time.

Because Saul was still only a first level apprentice when he took this mission, and registered only to assist in the mission, Byron could completely claim his share of the mission reward on his behalf.

Even if it wouldn’t be returned to Saul afterward, the registration room wouldn’t care.

But this matter was instead the thing that Saul was least anxious about.

Senior Byron had not only helped him once, but had also saved his life twice. Even if all these contributions were given to Byron, Saul didn’t care.

What’s more, the biggest gain from this outing mission was here with Saul.

The knowledge of two third level apprentices and a second level wizard were all in the diary.

Even if they had lost some of their memories due to their deaths, the remaining ones were still a huge knowledge base for Saul!

This time, Saul had accumulated quite a lot of soul fragments, so he didn’t have to worry that the three black sheets of paper would soon dissipate due to the lack of soul energy, causing the consciousness preserved in them to dissipate.

For sorcerers, nothing was more important than knowledge.

The excitement of the harvest allowed Saul to temporarily forget about the worries of having a black shadow following him around, he went to the registration room to change his name tag and then headed to the corpse room on the second floor of the East Tower.

Before leaving the tower, he reported to Mentor Kaz about his possible two-month absence.

Because Senior Byron was also Mentor Katz’s apprentice, he wasn’t angry that Saul had to put down his work in the corpse room for a while, and just went to the newcomers who had entered the Sorcerer’s Tower in the past two years and chose a person to temporarily take Saul’s place.

And now that Saul had returned early, he naturally had to take over the work again.

Saul had thought that at this time in the morning, there wouldn’t be anyone in the corpse room, who knew that when he pushed open the scarlet door of the corpse room, he saw two silhouettes standing in the middle of the corpse room.

Kulom, a newcomer who had just entered the Witch Tower for a year, was pulling a female corpse …… that was a head taller than him and dancing.

The two people were neatly dressed, their movements were coordinated, and although there was no music, they were still very immersed.

If the woman did not have a head, Saul would not have been able to discover the identity of the other guest.

“Cullom.” He opened his mouth to interrupt the beautiful atmosphere.

“Ah, Saul-senpai.” Cullom, who had a head of red curly hair, stopped dancing without any embarrassment of being bumped into, and greeted Saul with a smile.

He told the female guest to take off her long skirt and lie back on the conveyor belt.

“Is this your sorcery?” Saul hadn’t seen such sorcery before, and it didn’t look like sorcery that a first level apprentice could master.

Like a shy older boy, Cullom scratched his nose, “It’s actually magic tricks, plus a little bit of my talent.”

The gorgeous gown fell to the ground and turned into a stale sheet.

“Talent?” If it was just magic tricks, Saul could easily do it.

But to make a corpse follow commands and move so nimbly, that wasn’t like something that could be done with 1st or 2nd rank sorcery.

“Companion Goblin.”

A pale, slightly muffled voice sounded behind them, and the two turned around in unison to see Mentor Kaz walking in with his hands behind his back.

“Such a gift is rare, it is said to have been blessed by a goblin at birth.” Kaz tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled a little, “Of course, some say it’s a curse.”

Even after hearing the word curse, Kurom’s well-behaved expression remained unchanged.

Saul, on the contrary, was somewhat interested in companion goblins, “Companion goblins, I think I’ve read about it in some book.”

“Companion Goblin, a kind of transparent goblin that cannot be seen by normal people. Petite in size, traveling between reality and fantasy, the weak ones can only slightly affect reality, while the strong ones can pull people into the fantasy world.” Kulom took the initiative to explain the meaning of companion goblins for Saul.

He even reached out his hand in the end and held it up in front of Sol, smiling, “This is my companion goblin, look at it Sol-senpai, it’s very cute, isn’t it?”

Looking at the palm of his hand, which had nothing in front of him, and the boy who was looking at him with a sincere expression on his face, Saul suddenly understood the meaning of the word “green tea”.

Saul’s face remained unchanged, he closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them halfway.

This time, a green slime monster appeared in the palm of his hand, which was originally empty.

Somewhat like a Slime, but nothing to do with cuteness.

Even if he couldn’t smell anything, Saul felt as if a sewer stench was heading up his nose. Saul leaned back slightly, “You have pretty unique tastes.”

The smile on Cullom’s face disappeared.

At this time, Kaz spoke, “Well, since Saul you have been promoted to level two, let Kulom take over the work here.”

Sol looked at Mentor Katz in surprise, “Mentor?”

“You come with me.”

Mentor Katz walked out with his hands behind his back.

Saul turned back to Cullom and instructed, “I’ll get my things later.”

Kulom was not at all excited that he had managed to snag a job.

He stood frozen in place and nodded with a pale face, “Okay, Saul …… senior.”

Saul chased out of the corpse room and saw Kaz marching deeper into the corridor.

Although he had been curious about the depths of the corridor, he had never been inside.

Only the big man in charge of cleaning up the corpse room would push the cart and go deeper into the corridor.

As the two of them went a little deeper, a darkness that had almost turned into substance gradually enveloped all around them.

The bleak white candlelight was also unable to dispel all the darkness around them.

The corridor behind them could not be seen clearly, and a thrilling feeling of having no way back was born.

“We’re here, this is the first floor of the East Tower.” Mentor Katz in front finally stopped and said quietly.

The first floor of the East Tower? Sol began to doubt his memory.

Did …… they go downstairs just now?
“You stand next to me.”

Saul took a few steps forward as instructed, alongside Mentor Katz.

As he stood, he was shocked to realize that a large door appeared in front of him.

It was a gate made of a special metal with a greenish-black body. Even a meter apart, one could feel the cold aura emanating from the gate.

A special spell formation with a hexagram as its base pattern was drawn on the gate. At first glance, it looked similar to the spell formation on the sixth floor wall of the East Tower, but the internal structure was much more complex.

“You can only open one of the gates as you pass through, if both sides are open, remember to stand still and not move until the gate closes again.”

Kaz finished, pushed open the right half of one of the doors, and led Sol inside.

The inside of the gate was a few degrees cooler than the outside temperature.

What met his eyes was a corridor that was about ten meters long, and at the end of the corridor there was another metal door that was just a bit narrower in width.

As soon as Saul walked in, the only two halves of his arms that remained gave him goosebumps.

He tightened his collar, “Mentor, what is this place?”

“You can think of this as another floor of the corpse room, except the bodies and materials here are unusual.”

The two continued on and pushed through the second metal door, not mentioning what was forbidden here.

The room behind the metal door was covered in a light white mist.

Stacked on top of each other around the room were layers and layers of boxes, boxes that were identical to the ones used to hold materials in all the corpse rooms.

Kaz kept his footing, “Look familiar? You contributed some of these materials inside as well.”

“Except they could have been more, couldn’t they?”

Kaz glanced at Sol, who turned his head away sheepishly.

They passed through the second door, and two corridors stretched out before them.

“This will be your new workplace. Now you have two choices, one is to work at the exit, the other is at the entrance.”

Kaz told Saul the entrance docking was for third level apprentices and the exit docking was usually for instructors.

Saul opened his mouth and his voice caught in his throat.

Third level apprentice? Mentor?
If he remembered correctly, it hadn’t even been ten days since he became a second level apprentice, had it?
