Chapter 346 – Re-blooming Dead Man’s Flower
Chapter 346 – Re-blooming Dead Man’s Flower
Saul took Byron on an airship ride, and the latter immediately looked at Saul with a look of a rich woman.
The airship that he took on the way back was not the one he came in, and the captain of this airship didn’t have the courage of Captain Harry to strike up a conversation with the two sorcerer apprentices.
Therefore the return trip became a bit boring.
Especially since wizarding students were strictly forbidden to experiment on airships.
If they accidentally blew up the airship, although the wronged ghosts on the airship couldn’t control them, the major shareholder behind the airship, Baidong Academy, might send a large bill.
The kind that can’t be paid back even if they sell their bodies.
Even though there was a Sorcerer Tower Master standing behind Saul, Saul didn’t think that Mentor Golza, who didn’t care about life and death, would pay the bill for him.
So the time to be crazy is crazy, and the time to be honest …… is better to hold it in.
With nothing to do, Saul introduced the rumors he had heard from Captain Harry, about the Baidon Academy, and their new style products to Senior Byron.
Byron listened with glowing eyes, and it looked like his wallet was going to hemorrhage again in the near future.
Upon returning to the wizard tower, Saul immediately went through the corpses and picked out a new body for Herman.
It turned out that the female body that had triggered the spike was later determined to be contaminated and had been sent to the necropolis.
And like the soul infusion experiment, he could only enter female corpses in addition to Herman’s original body.
Entering a male corpse, Herman’s conscious body would immediately suffer an extremely strong rejection, and even had a hidden tendency to be contaminated.
Herman’s conscious body did not show any more abnormalities when entering the new female body, which made many of Saul’s pre-preparations not come in handy.
Just as Herman gradually adapted to the new body and slowly began to move, Hayden, who had heard that Saul had returned, also rushed over.
When Saul led Hayden into the second storage room, Hayden saw the woman walking slowly inside the storage room at a glance.
But this time, Hayden was not as enthusiastic as last time, and could even be called indifferent.
This made Herman, who was originally raising his hand and preparing to greet Hayden, a little embarrassed.
He originally wanted to turn his wrist and change his greeting to a face grab in the process, but he was not able to make very fine movements right now, so the face grab became ……
“Snap!”
Herman slapped himself.
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
With such an open-hearted laugh, it went without saying that it had to be Penny!
If it’s Algae, it’s laughter is “pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff”.
The harvest from the trip out was not bad, plus Herman’s experiment went well, Saul’s mood was also good.
He smiled and introduced Hayden, “This is …… Aman!”
He originally wanted to say that this was still Hel, but he was afraid that Hayden would be hit too hard and suffer from contamination when he learned of Herman’s true identity, so he chose to tell a well-intentioned lie.
Under Saul’s introduction, Hayden then stiffly, expressionlessly nodded at Herman.
Herman’s empty eyes blinked for a moment, pretending he couldn’t quite control his body yet, and slowly twisted his head the other way.
Ignoring the coldness between the two, Saul called Herman and Hayden over to the lab bench and continued recording data.
“…… Let’s continue… Herr, Aman, when you entered the vessel, did you hear anything other than ‘help me’? Any other anomalies seen, or felt?”
“Nope, pig …… lord.” Still not very tongue-tied in his new body, Herman hastened to follow Hayden’s example of addressing Saul.
Saul asked Hayden again, but Hayden still didn’t have any memory of what happened when he first entered his new body.
Nonetheless, Saul had a lot of new ideas and planned to experiment with them one by one starting tomorrow.
Combined with his newfound gray substance – which he named Gray Matter himself – he figured it was going to be very busy for a while to come.
Who knew that when Hayden found out about Saul’s arrangement, he asked for his leave.
“I’m terribly sorry, Lord Saul, Mentor Rum has asked me to come over in the morning for a regular overhaul.”
“Regular overhaul?”
Saul recalled the notes of the soul infusion experiment and realized that this process was indeed present in it, except that it was as marginal information as the record of the reaction when the soul first entered the body, and could easily be ignored.
“What will the regular maintenance check? Will it look at the repulsion of the vessel and the soul?” Sol was instantly interested and decided to follow along tomorrow. Tonight, Saul, who had already been running around for a long time, made a rare trip back to the dormitory.
The door to Keri’s room next door was still locked, and she was apparently still conducting experiments on the development of radioactive toxins in the Black Fortress.
I don’t know how the progress is, when will she be back?
Although Saul can go to the registration room to communicate with Keri by letter, but the cost of this communication …… well, a little expensive, if it is a daily pleasantries, it can not be necessary.
If Kerri has any needs, she will naturally take the initiative to contact him.
This guy was never polite with Saul, and Saul never let her down.
After a good night’s sleep in his dormitory, Saul opened his eyes early the next morning just as the dim candlelight was turning bright white to glance at the blue hourglass, 6 o’clock sharp.
Today Hayden was going to Mentor Rum’s place, Saul hadn’t yet seen his mentor conduct a soul infusion experiment, so naturally he had to go and see it, and maybe he would be able to discover something in his mentor’s experiments that he usually didn’t notice.
Saul was almost stuck going out at six o’clock, and as soon as he opened the door, he was surprised to see the doors of several dormitories being opened from the inside.
It seemed that there were quite a few people who were scrambling to get inside in the second level apprenticeship.
There was an apprentice diagonally across the street who saw Saul and froze for a moment before politely greeting him.
“Senior Sol.”
Saul’s grizzled skin had already spread within the Sorcerer’s Tower, and coupled with Golza’s public acceptance of Saul, even some third-level apprentices would now greet Saul respectfully when they saw him.
If not for the fact that Saul stayed in the second storehouse all day, he was afraid that he would be surrounded by people every day.
He nodded to the second level apprentice next door, who was almost twice his age, and quickly walked towards the east tower.
But today, the west tower had another uneventful morning.
Saul was on the 10th floor of the West Tower from the lower level and was about to turn towards the East Tower from the passageway here when he noticed a circle of people surrounding him over in the corridor close to the passageway.
Wizards were not very fond of hilarity, and to have so many people gathered around, something must have happened.
Probably, another death.
Though Saul didn’t hang out in the tower much, as the closest working department to the corpse room, he still knew something about how many more apprentices died in the tower every month.
Even though this kind of thing was already commonplace, Saul still subconsciously glanced into the circle as he pushed his way through the back of the crowd.
Just this glance made his hurried steps stop.
The one who died in the corridor was another manservant.
Not old enough for Saul to even recognize him.
Someone who used to live in a large pass-through.
Now made into a flower.
Limbs as leaves, head as a flower.
It is a dead man’s flower.
Saul glanced again frowning and continued on his way.
Once the originator of the Dead Man’s Flower was Angela. She had gotten the priestly rituals of Bichirye from somewhere and created several murders in order to boost her magic and dark attribute perception.
But now Angela had died at the hands of Bichirye, and her former accomplice had been imprisoned by Saul.
Who else would have Bichirye’s Priestly Ritual.
The diary flipped open within Saul’s mental body and the black pages belonging to Ann unfolded.
“Ann,” Saul asked in his mind, “was it you who taught Angela the method of making dead flowers to boost her magic?”
Ann: [No it wasn’t, master!
Ann: [Actually, I was just luring Angela to make up her mind]]
AN: [The …… who taught Angela the way of sacrifice was Rokai.]
