Chapter 491 – Whose Conspiracy?

Chapter 491 – Whose Conspiracy?

In order to track down the source of the black charred corpse evil spirit Shia and Julie go deep underground.

At the same time they also left a pre-agreed secret mark on the surface so that Saul, who arrived later, could follow.

But they didn’t expect that this time, Saul wouldn’t be able to make it.

As a building used as a residential nature, there were almost no people to be seen in the building during the daytime.

Those who work go to work, those who go to school, and those who are young are sent to the place where the adults work to take care of them.

Saul intended to see what the girl who had turned into an evil spirit was going to do next, so he didn’t subdue her right away, but followed behind to observe.

Morton, on the other hand, went to the other room to find out why the first evil spirit appeared.

Saul hugged his arms and watched as the girl tilted her head back and swallowed all of the jug of water on the table.

There was no swallowing motion in the girl’s throat when she drank the water, it was as if it was poured directly from her mouth into her stomach without any obstruction in between.

After that water entered the girl’s mouth, the skin on the girl’s body surface began to stretch out.

The originally shriveled body also began to expand again, returning to its normal human form.

However, her skin did not recover.

The girl’s left hand was still scorched black and short.

The cracks in the skin on her face and body had only shrunk to become less visible, not healed.

“That’s why drinking water can temporarily slow down epidermal cracking.” Saul followed Izzy’s evil spirit all the way down the hallway.

Izzy seemed to know where else to find a water source and headed out of the rental house toward the water room at the end of the hallway.

Before the two could enter the water room, however, they saw Morton walk out of it with a serious face.

“Master, something is not right here. My earth exploration sorcery is blocked within the walls.”

“What kind of power is blocking it?” Sol immediately asked, “Is it contaminating?”

Morton shook his head, “Not like contamination, but rather like a closure effect caused by sorcery.”

Saul sniffed, not caring about Izzy, who was still walking slowly, and came directly to the place near the outer wall.

He pressed his hand on the wall, and the translucent tentacles of Soul Drapes immediately drilled into the wall from his palm.

A moment later, Saul withdrew his hand.

“Someone sealed the entirety of this building.”

Saul immediately said to Morton, “Let’s go back to the top floor.”

However, the two had just reached the stairwell when they saw a branch thicker than an ordinary person’s waist sticking out from behind the door.

“Watch out!” Morton immediately stepped forward and raised his hand to cast a spell.

The floor tiles in front of the two were lifted by the rising spikes of earth.

And the oncoming thick branch hit the earth thorns, and both instantly snapped at the same time.

“Is this a branch?” Morton felt a powerful magic spread across the broken branch.

He glanced nervously at Sol.

Sol, however, shook his head.

The diary had no hints about the branch in front of him, and this one had tender green shoots on it, not unlike the strange plant he’d seen in the aqueduct.

“The magic fluctuation is stable, this is not a magical creature, it’s a sorcerer’s sorcery.”

Sol’s palm immediately began to gather flaming arrows.

A branch this large was at least a 3rd-rank sorcery. Morton didn’t have enough magic power, and the earth-attribute sorcery he specialized in wasn’t good at dealing with plant-based sorcery.

However, a 3rd rank sorcery needed time to prepare, and Morton unashamedly blocked in front of Saul.

At the same time, Little Algae also drilled out to buy time for Saul. The branch that had broken off a branch on Morton’s ground spikes raised up once again, about to attack again.

However, at this time, someone suddenly voiced out to interrupt the two sides that were ready to attack.

“Sorcerer Sol!” The door of the elevation pod suddenly opened, and Kent, a first-ranked sorcerer, stepped out from inside, “Everyone, don’t attack on your own people.”

Seeing Kent, Sol immediately recalled Shaya’s suspicion of Kent.

The flaming arrows in his hand became smaller, but they did not dissipate.

But the thick branches that Saul and the others faced immediately prostrated themselves on the ground like puppies after Kent appeared.

Kent was followed by four wizards.

As soon as they came in, they scattered and separated in all directions, and one of them headed straight to the water room, directly striking out to collect the spirit of Izzy, who had just moved to the doorway of the water room, into a soul bottle.

Morton was about to say something, but when he saw Saul shake his head imperceptibly, he shut his mouth.

In addition to these few wizards, Saul also heard the sound of neat footsteps ringing out from the stairwell.

It seemed that a lot of wizards and wizard apprentices had entered this tall building.

“Wizard Kent, can you tell me what has happened?”

Kent walked right up to Saul and his face was also serious, “Sorcerer Saul, I don’t know if you’ve noticed that recently we’ve captured a lot of evil spirits that look like charred corpses?”

“That’s right, and the evil spirit just now was also in this form. I was trying to track it down to see what caused her mutation.”

Kent’s face didn’t change much when he heard Saul’s words, and he nodded approvingly, then he let out a soft sigh.

“As a matter of fact, we have discovered the source of this charred corpse evil spirit.”

Saul’s eyes slowly narrowed.

Kent continued, “It’s the Shia wizard.”

The air froze for a moment.

“Why do you say that?”

“We also investigated for a long time before we were sure. Wizard Shia is actually an unscrupulous person.” Kent took out some information from his body and handed it to Saul, “In fact, I was supposed to keep the information about the case secret before arresting the Shia sorcerer. But Saul you are the apprentice of the Golsa Wizard, I think your position cannot be questioned.”

Saul took the information and saw the names and information of several people clearly written on it.

“These people …… are all wizards?”

“Yes. Shia will specifically target wizards who walk alone and don’t like to come into contact with others. He disguises himself as nervous on weekdays and doesn’t let anyone get close to him, also to hide the abnormal magic and spiritual power fluctuations in his body.”

“But Sorcerer Shia is only a First Order Sorcerer after all.” Saul said in disbelief, appropriately revealing some confused expressions, “Although he’s very good at escaping, a head-on battle ……”

Saul didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

“Yes, but at the same time he is confusing other wizards with his inability to fight. We summarized the list of recently disappeared wizards and found that many of them had secret contact with Wizard Shia before they disappeared. He would take advantage of other people’s sense of crisis, exaggerate certain crises, trick others into his pre-set traps, and then …… seize the inheritance of these wizards.”

Saul looked up and cupped his chin, “Sorcerer Shaya just invited me out as well, but I happened to meet this evil spirit and was delayed.”

Kent immediately furrowed his brow tightly and gritted his teeth, “He really did take a shot at you too. I thought that he would more or less scruple about your mentor some …… but it’s also right, since you have such a great mentor, there must be a lot of good things in your body, and since Shaya has killed so many wizards, his vision has already become higher, and he will definitely covet the materials you brought.”

Saul had previously taken out some rare sorcery materials in exchange for evil spirits and magic crystals.

But he also paid attention and did not take out materials that were too precious. It was also because he was afraid of being targeted in Archaeust.

“Then why are you guys surrounding this building?” Saul suddenly asked.

“We’ve been tracking the source of the contamination that gave birth to the charred corpses, and then we found a similar scent in this building.” Kent said with a straight face, “Saul, you said that Shia just invited you out, right?”

“Right.”

“I think the reason the contamination source appeared here is precisely because Shia invited you.”

Kent gazed into the Thorian’s eyes, “He was certain you wouldn’t make it back.”
