Chapter 403 – Heartbeat

Chapter 403: Heartbeat

Going to sleep in the second storehouse and actually being able to enter the dream world of the Grievance Fragment was something that Saul didn’t expect at all.

In fact, he hadn’t even thought that the Grievance Spirit Fragment could even dream.

Could it be that the fragments had managed to come together after more than one?

But now was not the time to study this.

It suddenly occurred to Saul that if the Grudge Fragments could dream, did that mean they also had stable memories?
That was why Saul grabbed the grudge shard that didn’t have time to escape.

“You, you asked ……”

“You guys just said that ‘another’ person came in. Seeing how you guys just recognized me, I don’t think you were referring to the time I was pulled in by you guys over a year ago.” Saul is shaking his mouth out of his hand, “So has anyone else entered the pipeline recently?”

Ordinary apprentices certainly couldn’t get into the pipes, and full wizards didn’t currently have anyone who was good enough at altering their shape to the point where they could stuff themselves into the pipes.

So the ones entering the pipes should still be spirits.

Perhaps it was Senior Byron?

“There.”

“Is it …… a complete and independent spirit?”

The mouth opened wide for a moment as if in thought, “No, not a complete spirit body.”

Saul’s heart sank, but he sensed the mouth had more to say and didn’t interrupt it.

“It wasn’t a spirit that came in, it was a living person. We watched him burrow a little into the depths.”

Saul was stunned in place, and after a moment asked hesitantly, “A living person?”

How could it be a living person?
And was there really a living person who could get into the candle pipes?
“Where did he go?”

“The depths.”

“Where are the depths?”

“The depths are where we can’t go in.”

“Speak!”

“It’s where those eyes stay. He’s lucky he didn’t go where those hands stay.”

“The eyes …… in the mezzanine?”

Saul immediately thought of the eyes that would sear his spiritual body on the periphery of the second vault.

There was no point in waiting any longer.

The place where those eyes stayed was not a good place.

He had to go and make sure.

Thor casually threw away the mouth, then sensed the broken mental body moving away quickly.

He closed his eyes, and the butterfly wings behind him turned into pieces for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in reality.

Saul jumped off the bed in a single bound, pulling on the cloak that hung over the bed in the process.

The compartment where those eyes were located was very dangerous, but the mouth said that the living who entered there were luckier than those who entered the arm compartment.

Perhaps it was because there was still a chance that those who entered there were alive.

Saul decides to go to Haywood.

The last time Haywood’s sister, or rather his curse, Heidi, had also entered the mezzanine and stayed in there for at least half the night.

Although she had then paid for both of her eyes to be picked up from inside by Saul, it did show that she had a way of surviving the mezzanine.

And Heidi’s state was somewhat similar to the living person who had entered the mezzanine. At the very least, Heidi wasn’t considered a spirit.

Saul himself couldn’t stay in the mezzanine where his eyes were for long. More than five seconds and he was going to be roasted.

Even though his strength has increased greatly.
So if he wanted to enter the mezzanine where the eyes were, he had to find a helper.

Ten minutes later, Saul appeared outside the door of the first vault and made a request to Haywood inside the door.

Haywood didn’t refuse at first when he heard that Saul wanted to borrow Heidi.

He held his chin in one hand and kept his fingers tapping his lower lip.

“I have to know what you’re borrowing Heidi for.”

“I’m going to the mezzanine off the second storeroom to look for an item, and I’d also like Heidi to bring it back for me if she can.” “What is it?”

“All I can tell you is it’s not a spirit.”

If Heidi had been allowed to bring the living man back, surely she would have known it was not a spirit as well. Saul was merely telling him what he was destined to know.

“How long do I need to borrow it?”

“The owner won’t know how long it will take until he finds something.”

Haywood’s fingertips tapped his lips quickly, his two-colored eyes fixed on Saul with one eye while the other darted from side to side.

Saul was waiting for Haywood to make an offer.

But he didn’t expect Haywood to balk, “I’m afraid not. Although Heidi can save her life in it, it is only for a short period of time, and she needs to be extremely careful to hide her presence. If you let her find someone regardless of time, it’s equal to letting her die.”

Saul knew that Heidi was, after all, Haywood’s sister, but he was also prepared to bargain.

“What if it’s only an hour of searching?”

The statement of not counting the time just now was just leaving room for the other party to cut the price.

For an hour, if Heidi was more cautious, she should still be able to avoid those eyes and wander carefully.

“Saul you don’t know well, Heidi is my sister, but she’s sharing a body with me now, if she dies, not only will I be sad, I’ll also be hurt very badly. There may even be no hope for promotion in this case.” The eye that Haywood was still staring at Saul narrowed slightly, while the other one was still dribbling around.

Saul spread his hands, “Heywood, without losing Heidi, aren’t you still hopelessly promoted now?”

Haywood’s darting eye fixed for a moment, mechanically and with a shudder, he turned to Saul and stared at him viciously, as if he wanted to come up and beat him up.

However, Haywood’s own expression remained relaxed, and was not angered by Saul’s provocation, only that his blue eyes, which were already staring at Saul, revealed a touch of surprise.

“I thought you came …… to borrow something.”

Saul said seriously, “To be precise, it’s an equivalent exchange.”

“It seems you’ve already prepared the items for exchange? But are you sure I’ll be interested?”

Haywood said, and raised his hand to point at the storehouse behind him.

As the caretaker of the largest treasury in the Sorcerer’s Tower, Haywood could say that there was no shortage of any sorcery materials.

Coupled with his strength as a top level three apprentice, no one had really dared to say before that the things he took out would definitely make Haywood’s heart flutter.

But Saul was still certain.

Because the thing he was going to exchange was something he created himself.

“Heywood, I’m sure your locator is powerful and it suits you well.” Saul began by praising the other party, “But the real reason you can’t be promoted is that you’re powerful.”

Saul held up both hands, “No offense, I’m afraid your locator isn’t very good at the psychic side of things either. With the locator’s enchantment, your physical body is too powerful and has far surpassed your spiritual body, so you’ve had to host a spiritual curse within you to balance out the out-of-control power.”

This time, the purple eyes that were staring viciously at Sol widened slightly, while the blue eyes that had been calm narrowed.

“Testing the locus of an apprentice sorcerer is a dangerous thing to do.”

The temperature around them rose abruptly.

It wasn’t that the temperature had risen, but some of the elemental particles around them were agitated.

But Saul did not panic and gently snapped his raised hands.

A spiritual body vibration plus a fluctuation of spiritual power, like a stone thrown into the water, swept outwards in waves.

As this spiritual power emanated, the restless elemental particles in the surroundings were quickly calmed down.

The room returned to its original slightly cool temperature.

Also restored was Heywood’s originally somewhat gloomy face.

“What are you ……” He looked at Saul’s hand and revealed a look of surprise.

“I have a potion for witch body modification, this potion can make your skin the same as mine, it can hold spirit body and spirit power. How’s that for a quid pro quo, enough to make Heidi take a slight risk, right?”

Heywood stared at Saul’s hands.

He hadn’t felt wrong just now, that spiritual power fluctuation had indeed emanated from Saul’s hands!

This skin of Saul’s was surprisingly capable of holding a spiritual body!
This was precisely Heywood’s biggest shortcoming right now!

He knotted his heart!
Sorry it’s a little late today
