Chapter 224 – Nightmare Butterfly
Chapter 224 – Nightmare Butterfly
“Ahem ……” Saul, with limited time, hurriedly shouted at Big Face, who was charging at him again, “Heidi!”
Heidi, who was rushing over, froze and stopped in place.
So it was only then that he saw that Heidi’s eyes were gone, leaving only two deep holes in her face.
Rather, it was somewhat like those puppet dolls without eyes in Mentor Katz’s lab.
The burning sensation around his body intensified again, and Saul swept over a sea of leering eyes in the distance, knowing that it was time to have to leave.
He gripped Heidi’s long nose and took her up with him like a carrot.
From start to finish those eyes were on Saul alone as well, paying no attention to Heidi in his hand.
Just after leaving the mezzanine, Heidi, who was as dull as a carrot, instantly regained her vitality, and while shouting “brother” in a shrill voice, she ran like a madman towards the door of the storehouse.
But when she came to the corpses, she braked hard and stopped, immediately turned around and ran back to Saul, “wailing” and crying.
If you ignore her horrible face, she really looks like a little girl.
No, it was the head of a capricious little girl.
Saul ignored the seabed that was shivering in front of the swarm of corpses, and returned to his own body first, before getting back up.
He looked at Heidi who was very much following him, thinking that it didn’t seem appropriate to carry a woman’s nose out in front of someone’s brother.
But Heidi said it was a human head, but in fact there was only one face, the neck and the back of the head were all missing, like a human skin mask.
Saul surveyed a few eyes, which reluctantly lifted Heidi with his hand, the other hand vaguely gathered in front, and came straight to the front of the corpses.
“I’m going to send her out, so don’t you guys make a move on her, okay?”
Although the corpses hadn’t moved just now, looking at Heidi’s fearful appearance, she probably felt threatened by the corpses.
Only then did Saul try to discuss with them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the corpses in front of him flattened to the left and right in unison, making way for a two-meter wide aisle in the middle.
Saul froze, not expecting the corpses to be so cooperative, could it be that they had been together for a long time and had feelings?
After all, most of the corpses had invited Saul to enter as a guest, showing Saul their recent boring routine.
“Thanks.” Sol nodded politely and carried on with Heidi in tow.
Of course he kept his guard up to avoid the corpses suddenly striking out at him or at Heidi halfway through.
Sol’s journey went smoothly, Sol pushed open the door of the warehouse, and as soon as he went out, he saw Haywood who was still standing holding the black bottle.
“Brother!” Heidi seemed to have sniffed out Heywood’s scent with her big nose, and immediately ran out of Saul’s hand and flew to Heywood’s side.
Saul did not stop it.
Heidi flew around Heywood’s head twice and seemed to want to reattach herself to the back of his head, but instead of agreeing, Heywood raised the bottle in his hand.
Heidi’s nostrils twitched twice more, and with a sob, she said, “I don’t want to go in there.”
Haywood shook his head firmly, “You’re too dirty to come out now until you’re clean.”
Heidi’s just now soft little girl look instantly disappeared and her face grimaced as she cursed Haywood.
But Heywood seemed to have gotten used to this long ago, and just expressionlessly grabbed Heidi’s nose and forcefully shoved her into the black bottle.
Saul: “……”
“Thank you very much.” After collecting his sister, Haywood didn’t play any tricks and directly took out a small lead box from his arms.
Saul took it and was just about to check it when Heywood pressed the back of his hand.
“It is best to read it alone in a quiet place. Each viewing should not exceed ten minutes, and you should not sleep for three days after reading, and even meditation should not be deep meditation.”
Heywood solemnly informed Saul of all the precautions.
The diary did not refute it.
Heywood at the same time cautioned Saul, “It must be sealed in this lead box when you cannot use it. No notes can be taken, and you can’t say or write its name later after you’ve read the book and you’ve gotten to know it better, especially when there’s an immature cocoon right next to you, and the deeper your bond with it and the more you’re connected to it, the easier it will be to wake it up. After butterfly transformation, it wouldn’t even dare to mess with a full-fledged sorcerer.”
Sol nodded his head, signaling that he had it all memorized.
Haywood finally let go of his hand, “Dangerous and beautiful, this is probably the most fascinating part of sorcery.”
Heywood next wanted to invite Saul to take a turn in the first storehouse, seemingly aroused by the nightmare butterfly’s desire to display it, but Saul felt it was better for him not to run around at the moment.
Heywood didn’t force himself, “I’ll go back to get ready, and I’ll come over tomorrow at twelve noon to help you stabilize your spirit body.”
This was the first payment that Heywood promised Saul. Saul was not in a hurry, holding the small lead box containing the Nightmare Butterfly’s information, he returned to the second storage room.
However, after getting the coveted Nightmare Butterfly information, he did not open it immediately to watch it, but placed it on a shelf that was farther away from the Nightmare Butterfly’s cocoon.
“My spiritual and physical bodies are still unstable right now, I’m afraid it’s even more dangerous to view this rashly. It’s better to save it for after I finish my second object transformation.”
Sol resisted the temptation of the knowledge and lay back on his single bed, “And I’m in dire need of some sleep right now.”
Just as he lay down on his bed, he pranced back up and ran to the corner of the storage room, carrying out a sarcophagus.
This sarcophagus could seal souls to a certain extent, so sorcerer apprentices who went out would often use the sarcophagus to bring back corpses that had been alienated outside for study.
Saul got this one from a schoolmate who tried to trick him into being possessed by an evil spirit. At the time, he killed the schoolmate in return, while the belated Senior Byron was in charge of sweeping up and distributing the proceeds.
That’s how Saul got such a sarcophagus.
It was just that he hadn’t had much of a chance to use it since then, and he didn’t expect to take it out again to use it as a bed for himself.
Of course, Saul didn’t mind it, and after cleaning and sweeping away the dust on it, he threw in his own bedding and pillows.
……
Ten days later, Saul was holding up two test tubes and comparing the differences.
One of the test tubes had been given a death warning by the diary, the other was safe. The other reagent, however, had failed to turn a deep red color like in Ralph’s notes.
“There must have been a mistake in one of the steps.” Saul shook his head, he really didn’t find what he did wrong there, “It’s worthy of being a witch body transformation material studied by a formal sorcerer, even though the diary has been correcting my mistakes for me, it still can’t be replicated perfectly.”
It’s true that you can’t underestimate any sorcerer in this world.
Saul put the two test tubes down and prepared to start the third refining.
Once he finished the transformation potion for flesh and blood sorcery, he would be able to try fusing plastic bone with flesh and blood sorcery.
A sorcery body modification program that focused on devouring flesh, coupled with a Spirit Ester Tailoring that could store souls, there was no telling what sparks could come out in the end.
Of course in order to make the final reaction result of the potion converge in the direction Saul needed, there was no shortage of help from the diary.
Algae obediently handed Saul a new empty test tube and stirring rod.
Every time Saul did an experiment, he was the one who was the most excited.
Unfortunately, this time, as soon as Saul received the test tube, the feathered transmitting pen in front of him on the left suddenly flew up and wrote rapidly on the white paper spread out on the table.
“Coming to the mission?” Saul froze for a moment, it’s been a month since he came back and he finally received a new work assignment.
It was like these mentors knew he was in seclusion and refused to give him assignments easily.
If it was what Saul thought, it was probably instructed by the tower master.
He returned the props to Komo and got up, walking over to the summoning pen and looking at the new quest content.
There were no special materials this time, and the final quest was addressed to Mentor Guido.
“Ah, it’s Kori’s mentor.” Saul picked up the paper and flipped through the list of materials he had made for the treasury and began comparing them.
“It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Korie. I wonder if she’s returned from her adventures out. Looking at her face, she doesn’t look like someone who had an accident halfway across the world.”
Saul, who had encountered life and death crises on both occasions, still hoped in his heart that Keri’s journey would be smooth.
Within two hours, Saul had finished picking out all the materials, pushed the cart back to the experimental table, picked up the feather transmitting pen, and wrote the word “Done” on the paper recording the mission.
Almost the next second, there was a knock on the door of the second storage room.
“Could it be Haywood coming?”
Saul walked over, since the last time he fished Heidi out of the mezzanine, Heywood Enoch had helped Saul improve the stability of the connection between his body and his spirit body every once in a while.
And it was very novel that he was helping Saul by utilizing the angle of physical means to transform his physical qualities, which was another eye-opener for Saul.
It’s just that every time it’s like acupuncture, inserting needles all over the body is a bit difficult.
However, it was said that the remodeling could last for nearly a month at a time, and the key was free, so Saul endured it.
However, when Saul walked to the door and pushed it out, someone he hadn’t seen in a long time appeared outside the door.
Sol instantly smiled, “You’re finally back, Korie.”
