Chapter 438 – Elf Skin and Black Iron Coffin (II)
Chapter 438 – Elf Skin and Black Iron Coffin (II)
If it wasn’t for the fact that Korie was still relatively weak now that she had just been decontaminated from the radiation, Saul would have really wanted to tease her and ask her where to make the hole.
However, he still honestly put his hand towards Korie’s mask, “Let me help you remove the metal from your face.”
“Don’t! Don’t! Don’t!” Who knew that Kagome objected with a series of outbursts, “I realized that I still have a little bit of radiation left in my body.”
“Yes, after all, it’s radiation on radiation, and even a blood change can’t really be a full body change. You may need to lie down for a while longer.”
“It just so happens that I want to incorporate this residual radiation into my body. Promote to the third level, you guys mustn’t mess with me.”
Saul agreed in a loud voice, and resumed wondering, “Why would you want to incorporate the radiation toxins into your body? Doing so will likely cause the damage from the radiation to be incorporated into your body as well.”
Just like Mentor Monica, a lightning attack was super powerful, but the excess lightning that was not well controlled would cause the surface of her body to partially carbonize.
“Now that there is not much radiation toxin left, instead, it is a great opportunity, I just dreamed of pondering this option …… feasible!”
Saul bristled, dream-thought scenarios were usually illogical, but Kori’s idea had some basis. It was like injecting an attenuated vaccine and then allowing the body to adapt to the toxin and produce antibodies.
If Korrie continued to research the alpha toxin in the future, then having a certain level of resistance to the toxin was still necessary.
“I see, what do I need to do to cooperate with you?”
Next, Saul built a metallic refining sorcery spell for Keri and slipped her a few pieces of Heart’s Guard for life preservation.
Oh yeah, and then didn’t forget to give her a few air holes in her mask for ventilation.
After another busy day, it was light and dark by the time Sol left the underground lab.
As soon as Saul came out, he saw Byron, who was sitting alone above the underground lab, flipping through a book.
He seemed to be guarding for Saul to keep others out of the underground lab.
Saul also went over and sat directly on the ground, and saw a small pile of Companion Flower seeds on Byron’s side.
Byron looked up from his book and noticed Saul’s line of sight, “Companion Flower seeds, I traded my remaining credits to Mentor Katz.”
“Can you still use credits at this time?”
Byron nodded, “Mentor Katz is going to carry over the credits to his Necrotic Garden, so if you don’t want to follow along, you can exchange the credits at a discount. I redeemed some books, and some materials, you should be able to use these seeds, you can share some of them.”
“Good, the corresponding points will be deducted from your notes.” Saul wasn’t polite, and went up and grabbed a handful.
Anyway, before the companion flowers bloomed, who knew what kind of attribute fruits would be produced in the end.
When he put the seeds away, he saw Byron bowing his head and taking out that familiar little bookkeeping notebook from his arms.
However, instead of recording credits on it, the other party’s next action was to suddenly ignite a small fireball, directly burning the account book to ashes.
Watching the black and gray ashes float into the messy ground of the small garden, Byron turned his head sideways and said to Sol, “Between you and me, there’s no need to keep score.”
Byron looked down and continued to read, thinking, “I can’t afford to pay it back anyway.
Saul shook his head and laughed, his eyes falling to the book Byron was reading, realizing that it was surprisingly one of the few tome’s that spoke of matters related to elves.
If this book was also redeemed by Byron from Instructor Kaz, then I’m afraid it would cost quite a few credits.
“This book was given to me by Mentor Kaz. He seems to have discerned the attributes of this new skin of mine. And books related to elves are taboo to ordinary people. I don’t have to care about it now instead.”
Saul then had the chance to ask out, “I still haven’t figured …… out Senior Byron, how did you recover?”
Because of the urgency of Korie’s matter, Saul hadn’t had the chance to ask Byron properly.
How did he change from a head back to an expressionless, ordinary-looking senior.
The head Byron was now sheathing was the head of the Elf King!
When Kongsa was wearing this head, she was a great beauty in the eyes of the crowd that corresponded to everyone’s aesthetic.
Byron’s eyes moved away from the book and looked towards the darkened walls of the underground laboratory, “You know, that layer of my skin is actually my locator. Although it gave me a chance to come back from the dead, losing my locator has also reduced me from a level three to a level two.”
Byron fled into the mezzanine, dodging gawking mouths and hiding under unsuspecting eyes. At that point he was also lost, wondering how he would go on in the future even if he survived.
It was at this time that Saul suddenly appeared and not only led him out of the dangerous mezzanine.
Most importantly, Saul also gave him a very rare sorcery material.
Byron didn’t know what he was staying in at first, he just felt very cramped.
Yura was up to no good, and Mentor Rum and Mentor Kaz were afraid that there was something wrong with them, and Byron just wanted to recover as quickly as possible so that he could help Saul in such a treacherous situation.
Who knew that when he started to try to meditate and recharge his own magic power, he suddenly realized that this body was particularly suitable for his promotion program!
And as Byron experimentally began to transform this outer skin into his locator little by little, he didn’t encounter the slightest obstruction.
He even used only a few days to let this new layer of skin adapt to his spiritual and magical power, initially becoming his locator.
This was dozens of times faster than the last skin!
Moreover, he also found that this layer of skin was very controllable.
Once the new locator was initially formed, Byron also returned to his original appearance.
Only at this time, Saul was not in the second storage room.
As he stood looking around the storage room in some bewilderment, he encountered Agu, who had come over to get the materials.
“So that’s how it is, so Senior you are going through the original promotion program again.” It dawned on Saul that he didn’t realize that Senior Byron’s new skin would fit his research direction even better than his original one.
But that’s right, aren’t elves just a bunch of races that are so bursting with spiritual power that they burst themselves into oblivion? Then the head left behind by the Elf King, even if most of the special attributes were removed by the half-elves, was not an ordinary sorcery material, and it was normal to have such a high elemental fusion.
Moreover, the material grade of the Elf King’s head was definitely higher than Byron’s original skin grade. It might also be easier to integrate into his spiritual body.
It was also considered a blessing in disguise.
The two did some more analysis on the Elf King’s head, calculating the various data of this new layer of skin.
It wasn’t long before another person came to Sol.
It was Agu, who was standing just outside the small garden, looking a bit uneasy.
Saul spoke to Byron and walked out.
After Saul left, Byron took out the elf-related book again and began to read.
Ever since he knew that this new layer of skin was an elf that had lost the ability to mentally pollute, he had been learning about elf-related knowledge, and Saul would only think that he was trying to turn the elf head into his locator when he saw it.
But there was one thing Byron didn’t tell Saul.
In the 20th floor laboratory of the Sorcerer’s Tower, before Lord Golthar left, not only did he lay a deadly hand on Jero, he also left him a message.
That was probably the only thing the Tower Master had said to Byron in all these years.
“If you take something from an elf, be prepared to be found by an elf.”
The meaning behind those words gave Byron the creeps, so much so that he was contemplating whether he should give up on completely transforming the elf head into his locator.
But Byron finally insisted on transforming it, after all, if he didn’t have a locator that fit him like this, he might never have the chance to be promoted to full wizard again!
As for the risks he would have to take in it, he would naturally carry it himself and would not let Saul run around for him anymore.
After all, the path of a sorcerer ultimately requires him to walk on his own.
But if one day, Saul needs him, he will absolutely spare no effort and no cost to return the favor to Saul.
This was the equivalent exchange that Byron recognized in his heart.
It’s after ten again. By the way, take tomorrow off for June 1st.
(Actually freshening up the outline for Volume 2 and the fine outline for the near future, see you the day after tomorrow)
Big talk for guaranteed monthly votes for tomorrow~
