Chapter 311 Division of labor
Chapter 311 Division of Labor
Killing monsters across levels was very dangerous, but the corresponding rewards were also huge.
Even if he didn’t love adventuring in his bones, Sol could very well understand Golza’s thoughts.
To accomplish what only a fourth-ranked sorcerer could do as a second-ranked sorcerer. Thinking about it made one’s blood boil.
In fact, Golza had already done part of it. He had mastered the spatial sorcery that only fourth-order sorcerers could operate. Though the sorcery he was using likely had huge limitations.
But it was enough to make him a second-order sorcerer who could laugh at the entire western continent. I heard that even third-order sorcerers treated him with courtesy.
What man wouldn’t aspire to such status and strength?
Mentor Kaz saw the fire in Saul’s eyes, and he turned his head, his face expressionless, while sighing in his heart.
“It’s true that he’s still young, facing challenges he can only think of the joy of success without considering the hardships involved. Will he be defeated? And how long will he be able to maintain this fervor?”
Kaz gave Saul three minutes to think or rather daydream, and then began to explain the entire process of the experiment to him.
“The resurrection experiment has two major challenges, one is the soul and the other is the physical body. Lord Tower Master alone is responsible for the first one. Dead souls are always constantly escaping soul energy, while the probability of suffering contamination is also very high, and once they are transformed into spiteful or evil spirits, then there is no chance of resurrection ever again. At the very least, not within my known field of knowledge.”
“So in order to maintain the integrity and purity of Lady Yura’s soul, he made great sacrifices, even going so far as to transform himself to ensure that he could preserve Lady Yura’s spirit for a long time.”
Sol thought of the first time he had seen Lady Yura’s complete face, when she had ended up being thrown into the body of the Tower Master and taken away by him.
“So normally Lady Yura stays inside the main body of the tower?”
“It’s definitely not that simple! If the human body would be able to hold the souls of other dead people, we wouldn’t have to make so many containers in order to find a suitable physical body.”
Mentor Katz waved his hand and swept over the sarcophagi in front of him; they were obviously all physical bodies prepared to resurrect Lady Yura.
But it was obvious that none of them could actually fulfill the requirements for resurrection.
Otherwise, Tutor Katz’s expression at this moment wouldn’t have been so despondent.
It was an expression that had been beaten to death and was beginning to turn to numbness and even resignation – “Yes, I’m a loser” -.
“I’m not going to go into detail with you about what the tower master’s side is responsible for, after all, I’m not very clear about it either. And we …… including you are mainly responsible for finding and creating a container that can hold the spirit body of Mrs. Yura for a long period of time.”
“So that’s how it is.” Saul recalled his experience of studying within the Sorcerer’s Tower, and many things were actually foreshadowed beforehand.
Handling corpses in the necropolis room, separating contaminated and uncontaminated materials.
Participating in the soul infusion observation experiment conducted by Instructor Rum and headed by Senior Nick.
Learned the spiritual side of necromancy and was in charge of the second storeroom to further his knowledge of material science other than the human body.
It was just that Saul still couldn’t figure out why the tower master had chosen him.
Because of his higher spiritual talent?
Yet he wasn’t in charge of soul maintenance, but was involved in this part of making containers.
Shouldn’t someone more specialized in this discipline and with more experience actually be in charge? Or did they think that a newcomer might be able to bring in new ideas?
If that was the case, then it would be more reliable to publish the data of this experiment and let everyone start brainstorming.
“For this part of the container manufacturing task, the tower master assigned tasks based on the areas that each of the several mentors specializes in. For example, Mentor Anze and I are mainly responsible for manufacturing containers. I specialize in building with human materials. While Tutor Anze, who majors in the earth attribute, will pick more and more exotic materials.”
For example, the fat from Mentor Rum’s body? Seeing Sol’s dawning realization, Tutor Kazi immediately knew what Sol was thinking, but he shook his head.
“If you are thinking of those fat on Mentor Rum’s body …… those aren’t. Although there is a puppet container right here in this lab, it was ruled out a long time ago. Nowadays, puppets are mostly used to test the state of mental power and spiritual bodies, to confirm if they are normal and if there are any signs of contamination.”
“And what aspect of research is Mentor Rum in charge of?”
“He and Mentor Guido are mainly responsible for the fit between the soul and the material.”
“I can understand if Tutor Rum majors in water attribute and light attribute. But Tutor Guido, isn’t he majoring in poison attribute and metallic?” Sol couldn’t imagine how someone who spent his days researching new toxins could study souls.
Mentor Katz looked over helplessly, “Actually, the work of creating toxins he has long since handed over to the apprentices. Because of the lack of manpower, everyone is responsible for a large amount of research. But Mentor Guido is very good, he has gotten out of his own way.”
“Whereas Rum was more on the side of fitting souls to containers by remodeling the souls to fit the containers, Guido was remodeling the containers to accept the souls. He sees the vessel’s exclusionary response to the spirit as a toxin to think of ways to undo the toxicity.”
It dawned on Sol that indeed masters of poison use were often masters of detoxification as well.
That left Mentor Monica.
She was the only female sorcerer and also the only one who majored in lightning attribute sorcery.
The key was that she was young and beautiful.
The only flaw was that every now and then she would go from beauty to beauty coke.
“Monica …… she actually ……” Mentor Katz looked a little hesitant, but he thought that Saul would most likely learn about it from other people, so he still told Saul truthfully.
“In fact, Monica is a formal sorcerer that Golza created out of birth for the purpose of resurrection experiments.”
“Rawly created?” Saul was stunned, if formal wizards could really be manufactured in bulk, where would there be anything left for them wizard apprentices?
“Yes, it cost a huge amount of money and untold lives.” Kazi’s eyes showed sighs of relief, “At that time, there were about a hundred or two hundred people, and in the end, only Monica succeeded in advancing into a formal sorcerer. But the tower master only needed a lightning-attribute sorcerer, and the remaining dozen or so people at that time, because they didn’t have the protection of the tower master, soon died out one after another within a year or two.”
“And the useful materials taken out of these dead people were all used on Monica in the end to strengthen her abilities.”
Without the need for Mentor Katz to say it, Sol had already guessed Mentor Monica’s ability.
She focused on lightning, as lightning-attribute sorcery was very good at cleansing pollution.
She was the key to helping the tower master keep the spirit and container free from contamination!
In order to keep the resurrection experiment going for a long time, Golza created a “sterilizer” for her experiment.
“At this point, you should already have a general understanding of the resurrection experiment. You are not the first apprentice to participate in this experiment, but I hope you are the last.”
Saul knew that Mentor Katz had desperately wanted this experiment to come to an end.
From the wrinkles on his face and the bleakness in his eyes, it was clear that he probably wouldn’t even mind if the experiment ended in failure.
“I don’t know.” Saul looked at the old man, who was as tired in appearance as he was in spirit, and wondered what to tell him.
From all sources known to Saul, dark clouds were already hanging over the Wizard’s Tower.
Golza’s superior strength didn’t care, but for Mentor Katz, the day of rest was, I fear, far away.
