Chapter 388 New Programs
Chapter 388 – New Program
“Oooooooooooooooooooo……”
The sound of weeping resounded in Sol’s mind.
Saul, who was walking out from the forest, said helplessly, “Penny, why are you crying again?”
“Oooh, I almost harmed my master na.”
Saul persuaded two sentences to no avail and simply changed the topic.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to find the meaning of existence? How about finding it?”
Who expected Penny to cry even louder, “I thought I found it, but it turns out it was just tampered with perception. Woo woo woo… woo woo woo…”
Saul’s head was full of black lines, Penny had never been this emotional even though she always had a female doll voice.
It was probably still the aftermath of having her cognition tampered with, so maybe only time would calm it down.
“But why are you searching for the meaning of existence? Are you still confused about something?” Thor asked curiously, while at the same time getting himself out of the slump he had just been in.
“Oooh …… Brother Saul do you know? The Nightmare Butterfly is not a natural creation, we were actually created by a sorcerer.”
“What?” Saul was shocked, “The Nightmare Butterfly that can observe history is actually a sorcerer’s creation as well?”
Luckily, he had absorbed too much knowledge recently and quickly calmed down.
“What about the sorcerer who made you?”
“Crazy.”
“…… Uh, okay.”
“How powerful are the wizards who made you?”
“All I know is that he had been a fourth order wizard for quite some time before I left him.”
“Can a fourth-order sorcerer create nightmare butterflies that are between consciousness and entity, and can also observe history and enter the dream world?”
“Brother Saul, there is a difference between a sorcerer and a sorcerer’s apprentice, and there is a huge difference in strength between each rank of sorcerer.”
Penny told Saul what she knew about the difference in sorcerer’s abilities.
Sorcerer apprentices could still only attack point-to-point, but full-fledged sorcerers could perform ranged attacks.
This was because they could already affect the operation of magic within a certain area.
And their sorcery attacks could also take on a certain attribute of their own locator.
That is to say, for the first time, the locator took off the title of specializing in defense and could make a difference in offense.
And when second-order sorcerers can do so, they can compress their own magic power and spiritual power, making the power they can store increase dramatically.
At the same time they can also have greater toughness, a toughness that can help them resist contamination as well as withstand the damage done to themselves by the release of more power.
The third-order sorcerer is even more terrifying, he can already turn the locator into a kind of transformer that can transform and use the power of the outside world, so the third-order sorcerer can destroy a city with a single blow.
Fourth order Penny didn’t speak, it said that what it understood wasn’t always right, and if it was wrong, Saul was afraid that he would be contaminated.
It seems to be that the mistake made today has made Penny weak, otherwise it would not be so proactive in imparting knowledge to Saul.
“What about you, Penny. What kind of strength were you at your peak?”
“Poor, almost second rank. But there is a third-order existence in our Nightmare Butterfly. Just not in the Western Continent.”
Less than second order? No wonder he was chased up the ass by Kismet.
The two had already walked out of the forest while talking.
The carriage they had parked outside the forest remained quiet, and there was even a pile of fresh young grass beside the horse.
When Sol walked near the wagon, several black tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground and hopped closer to Sol.
But when they tried to merge into the back of Sol’s neck, they were blocked back as if they had hit glass.
Several tentacles wiggled on the ground in aggravation, and Saul had to pick them all up. “Algae isn’t awake yet, so you guys can wait outside for now.”
When Saul continued to approach the carriage, one of the tentacles suddenly split its mouth and bit the hem of his coat.
Saul moved in a thoughtful manner and organized himself before he stepped forward to open the carriage door.
Inside the carriage, Golza, who was wearing a brownish-red cloak and was wrapped in pink bandages, raised her hand, which was also wrapped in bandages, and greeted Saul.
“Out?”
Sol immediately bowed low in greeting, “Mentor ……”
His greeting came to an abrupt end as he saw a human head next to Gortha’s hand.
Mark’s head.
Mark’s eyes rolled back in his head, and his mouth fell open slightly, completely unanticipating his death.
One of Thor’s hearts beat hard twice, and he suppressed his breath as he slowly looked up at Gortha.
Gortha’s eyes were still curved in a smile, “He assumed your name and had the half-elf send him out, probably cutting you off from life because of it, so I killed him to take the heat off of you.”
Thor’s mouth opened wide and his mind wondered, “For whom?”
Seeing that Sol believed it, Golza’s eyes curved in an even greater arc.
“Fooled you.”
He reached out and gently patted Mark’s bloodless head, “This guy has eaten too much cryptocrystalline matter and has already begun to alienate. By letting him live, he will continue to cultivate others into Cryptocrystalline Plasm, which is not conducive to the development of the Sorcerer’s Tower.”
Golza’s silver eyes swept over Sol and asked with sudden interest, “How many have you eaten?”
Sol immediately shook his head, “I didn’t eat any.”
“Good boy.” The smile in Golza’s eyes deepened a bit, “Guess you don’t need to. Come on up, I’ll take you back, and by the way, I’ll tell you about this new development of Kaz and Rum’s experiments regarding resurrection, it’s quite a pleasing result yet.”
Saul didn’t dare delay, and hurriedly climbed into the wagon.
He was about to ask Golza about driving when he saw Golza throw out a sorcery scroll in his hand.
That scroll landed outside and turned into a man with no facial features. He bowed to Golza and Sol, then climbed onto the carriage as well and flicked the reins.
The wagon moved under the control of the driver, who didn’t even have eyes.
Thor closed the door, and the noise outside diminished.
He looked at the head of Golza, which was being used as a cushion, and slowly averted his eyes.
The carriage was quiet for a while before Golza spoke, “Kaz and Rum discovered a new material with dark attributes. They named it Blue Water Spirit.”
“Blue Water Spirit?” Saul asked in surprise, “Could it be the material found in Blue Water Bay?”
Golza laughed, “So you’ve been there too. It’s a rare and good material …… It’s just a pity that it was piled up with human lives.”
The soul tides in Blue Water Bay were indeed dangerous to ordinary people, and the soul fragments inside were equally special. Saul and Byron had studied it there for a while, and hadn’t been able to figure out its cause.
Golza reached into his pocket and drew a small transparent orb from the gap in his bandage. An ethereal, cloud-like presence slowly wavered inside the small ball.
“This is a half-finished product; Rum has found a material that can attenuate the toxicity of the Blue Water Prana, thus enhancing the strength of the soul. The toxin that Guido is currently developing can also do the same thing by paralyzing both the flesh and the soul, thus creating a kind of adhesion between the two sides ……”
“All in all if this experiment is successful, it will be possible to create a vessel for Yura that can last for ten years without triggering an alienation. Along this line of thought, continuing the experiment, it is predicted that the time can be extended to fifty years.”
Saul listened attentively, this scenario was somewhat similar to his thought process, except the direction was not the same.
The same was to reduce frequent body changes and the body’s own contamination of the soul by lengthening the time the soul was in the container.
While Sol was still pondering this new scheme, Golza raised his eyes and looked over, his silver-colored pupils unusually obvious in the slightly dimly lit carriage.
“That’s good, I won’t have to risk activating the alternate solution. After all, the backup plan has just started to be researched not more than a few years ago, so Golza is still not very secure.”
Saul immediately felt a swish in his spine, as if he had been swept by something cold.
