Chapter 283.

Chapter 283 Marking
Sol took three seconds of silence for Wright, then asked, “How did the Lady stay in Wright Wrenell’s body?”

“Weren’t you the one who told me that Wright might be under the control of the Land Rowers? I then came out to meet with Wright to look for the Land Rowers and confiscated the goodies they had prepared both overtly and covertly in the meantime. Don’t blame me for chopping off my arm piece by piece if they dare to put their hands in the wizard’s tower.”

Wright probably didn’t expect himself that what was supposed to be a cool plot of an infernal counter-killing would end with his own death by accident.

Sure enough, even for a third level apprentice, this world was incredibly dangerous.

“You still haven’t told me why that Penny let you out?”

“Because …… she is a Nightmare Butterfly. I have a cocoon of hers in my hand.”

“Nightmare Butterfly?” Yura’s face showed some bewilderment.

How could she not know about the Nightmare Butterfly?
That shouldn’t be the case. As a spirit body that studied the dark attribute. Logically, she should have heard of the Nightmare Butterfly.

After all, his current major project was resurrection, a field of knowledge that was highly related to the consciousness spirit body.

“I’m also not very clear about the specific meaning attributes of the Nightmare Butterfly, but I do know that it is able to change a person’s perception of themselves and their perception of the world.”

This was an area that Heywood definitely knew something about, so Saul couldn’t pretend that he didn’t know anything about it.

“Oh?” Yura really became interested, “Are you selling this thing?”

Saul was calm and gently shook his head, “It’s not that I don’t sell it, but I can’t sell it anymore.”

Youra frowned, “Is it the condition for you to leave that town?”

Kamidou!

“What kind of agreement did you make?”

Thor just looked at Yura in silence.

Yura looked a little annoyed as she leaned back, “If you made any unfavorable treaties, big deal, go back and tell Golza, he always has some strange ways.”

She sat there quietly for a moment with her arms wrapped around her, then suddenly raised her eyes and asked again, “How did you end up in that town?”

“I was originally going to Desert City, and passing by here I remembered my …… friends, and then I found them ……”

“Is that the crazy person you brought back?”

Saul was silent for a moment, but shook his head and said, “No, he is my friend’s neighbor.”

Carriage in a quiet forward, because not so rushed, are already after noon, the party only arrived in the desert north city near the black fort.

However, when Saul arrived at the Black Castle, he found that the slender form of the castle in front of him seemed to have weathered overnight, and even the wall skin had shed a lot.

“This is?” Saul stood outside the main door of the Black Castle, and the eyes that had originally grown on the door were nowhere to be found.

“There was a vine in the Black Castle, that was raised by Mochi Mochi and hosted his spiritual power. Now that Mochi Mochi is dead, it won’t survive.”

Yura stepped right up and pushed open the door to the Black Fortress and walked down the narrow doorway.

Even the opulent hall had turned black and seemed to have died along with its former owner.

Yura was more familiar with the place, and she led Sol all the way down to an underground wine cellar.

It was said to be a wine cellar, but there wasn’t a single smell of wine in it, it smelled more like something rotting.

Yura and Thor take until they reach the end of the cellar and push open another secret door.

This time, instead of neat stone steps, the entrance was a completely dirt path.

As soon as Yura put her foot down, the slightly damp dirt narrowly missed the tops of her shoes. She seemed to want to frown, but unfortunately the doll’s face couldn’t make that much of an expression.

Saul followed, looking around carefully. This was a place he had never set foot in on either of his two visits.

It was as if he could feel tiny droplets of water in the air as he breathed, traveling down his nose and into his lungs.

Damp, dull.

The passage was also in this narrow style of the Black Fortress, and Saul and Yura walked in it like two gophers burrowing.

After descending a few dozen meters, something other than dirt finally appeared in the hole in the ground.

There were more starry white mushrooms in the corners of the tunnel, which looked somewhat familiar.

After that, the downward passage began to level out. A huge black shadow stood in front of the two.

It was the vine’s root system, with larger and thicker roots still missing in the deep soil.

“The Black Castle needs a temporary owner now, or the castle above won’t last long before it collapses.” Yura’s fingertips were glowing, illuminating the dark hole in the ground, “You should inject your spiritual energy into it now and become the temporary owner of the Black Castle.”

“Me?”

“Of course, I’m going back soon, only you can stay here temporarily.” Yura turned sideways, her back almost pressed against the dirt, giving Saul room.

Saul stepped forward and brushed one hand over the huge, thick root system, and in the next moment, it was as if he heard someone speaking.

[Is Mochi Mochi dead?

“…… Yes.”

[He was one of the owners who stayed with me the longest. So how long will you live again? It’s not comfortable for me to change masters all the time.]

“You tell it that in as little as ten days, or at most half a month, the tower will send someone to take over. Otherwise, if you can afford to wait, the Second Treasury can’t either.” Yura clasped her hands to her chest, her face expressionless.

Saul nodded slightly and turned his head to tell Vine, “I’m just taking over temporarily, someone will replace me in fifteen days at most.”

[That’s annoying, I don’t like temporary owners. Well, who let me not last fifteen days on my own. Stinky boy, pass your spiritual energy in, I hope you get used to this new experience quickly and don’t throw up on me.”]

Saul raised his eyebrows, “Looks like becoming the temporary master of the Black Fortress isn’t going to be easy.”

There was no change in the diary within the spirit body.

Saul narrowed his eyes and passed his spiritual energy along his fingers into the huge root system that was already more than three meters in diameter.

Instantly, a huge impact drilled into Sol’s mind.

In this instant, it was as if Saul shared his five senses with the vine.

He could feel the roots under his feet absorbing water and nutrients from the soil through tiny pores; there were also vines snaking and growing in the soil, and breaking through the soil at a certain corner, enjoying the sunlight and air; but more than that, it was an extremely narrow sense of bondage.

He was growing, but he was also tightly bound by something, and could only extend along a set course, not even an inch more.

Saul slowly frowned.

It was an unpleasant feeling, as if you were wrapped in bandages all over your body, with your arms and legs pressed tightly together. When you wanted to twist, you realized that there was another layer of iron coffin outside the bandage, making it impossible for you to move a single bit.

This kind of bondage was even more depressing and desperate than suffocation.

Saul even wanted to yell to relieve the exasperation in his heart, but he realized that he couldn’t even widen the gap between his lips.

“Still not well?” Yura’s puzzled inquiry came from beside her.

Thor instantly opened his eyes, and the cells around his body were finally liberated. That tight binding feeling also receded.

However, that terrifying sense of bondage was still frightening, and even just the memory of it made Saul tremble slightly.

“What’s wrong with you? You’re gifted with mental power, it shouldn’t be difficult.”

Saul put his hand down, he could already faintly sense what was happening around the castle overhead.

There was no one approaching, there was no one walking around the castle …… he could feel it.

“It’s marked.” Saul responded to Yura.

The latter then put his heart down, “I thought there was an accident after you stood there for so long.”

“The marking process wasn’t very comfortable.”

“Of course, but you’re mentally strong, so you’ve already suffered a lot better than others.”

Is that ……?

Saul, who hadn’t quite slowed down yet, couldn’t imagine how much harder it could be.

In any case after experiencing the flux he had just had, he wasn’t too keen on doing it again anytime soon.
