Chapter 500: Kent’s Compensation
Chapter 500 Kent’s Compensation
Just as Jonah was thinking about how to go back and persuade the Dean to get rid of Saul quickly and unobtrusively, Saul was already packing up his things and getting ready to leave Kaukoust.
He had snatched Anne back from inside the Inverted Tree the hard way, and although the other party hadn’t chased him to the ground, they were definitely on to Sol.
Coupled with the fact that Saul had already packed up Kent, even if the people from Baidong Academy didn’t find out anything now, they would definitely suspect him after a long time.
After all, the contamination on Kent’s body came too strangely.
It didn’t take an hour for Saul, with the help of Agu and Morton, to have put the bottles, jars, and various materials in the room, in separate categories, and stowed them away in the storage device.
As he was leaving his temporary residence, Saul realized that someone was staring at him, but he didn’t pay any attention to it and instructed Marsh to drive away at a normal speed.
As the carriage passed through the city gates, no one came out to stop Saul from leaving. Saul also saw the Level 2 Apprentice Dumar that he had met when he entered the city.
Under Saul’s semi-immersed observation of the new meditation method, Dumal’s head was still in the shape of a surveillance disk.
And as Saul turned his head and scanned the others, he realized that a few of them had the same problem as Dumal.
Not far away, at the entrance to the city, there was still a long line of people waiting to enter the city.
They did not realize what kind of world they were about to enter. With the lure of a high salary and a convenient life, perhaps they wouldn’t care even if they knew.
Saul probed his head and looked to the rear, there were very few people leaving the city.
Even the wizards who had been monitoring his whereabouts stopped after Saul left the archaist and didn’t come after him again.
“It seems they haven’t realized the problem over at the Inverted Tree.” Saul lowered the car window and turned his head to take out a compressed traveling bag.
Penny hadn’t been much help in the previous battle, and finally had a chance to talk at this point.
“Brother Saul, you actually stole Kent Wizard’s compressed traveling bag? Hee hee, you’re getting worse and worse.”
Only Penny dared to talk to Saul like this.
Without changing his face, Saul began to crack the cryptic formula on the compressed traveling bag, “It’s not called stealing. Kent purposely set an ambush in my room and made a big hole in my roof, I call that claiming damages.”
“Aye, aye, that Kent is no good, he must have come to the ambush because he wanted to steal from his master, I think he’s the head thief.”
Penny smiled cheekily and landed on Saul’s shoulder, wanting to see how much the head thief of Baidong Academy actually had in his family.
“Don’t get your hopes up either. Kent has a long term residence in Baidong Academy and may not bring much on him when he goes out, it should be some sorcery props or materials that may be used in battle.”
The anti-cracking property of the compressed traveling bag wasn’t very strong.
It itself used space sorcery to compress a larger space into a small volume.
The biggest characteristic of this sorcery was that it was easy to disrupt the balance, causing the compressed space to return to its original state.
As long as the cracker used some slight means, he was able to disrupt the balance of the compressed traveling bag, causing the objects inside to fall out.
Therefore, it is much more useful to find a way to keep one’s compressed traveling bag safe than to add a few “locks” to it.
It didn’t take long for Saul to break open Kent’s compressed traveling bag, and by this time, the carriage had already moved away from the archaeological site.
The gray walls of the city and the towering buildings had become the backdrop of the woods.
“Huh? This Kent wizard is too poor, isn’t he?” Penny came up and took one look and sighed in disappointment.
Although it was expected early on that Kent wouldn’t have all his belongings on him when he went out, it didn’t expect it to be so little.
Saul’s expression was calm as he first took out the magic crystals inside and swept his spiritual power through.
There were less than a hundred.
Saul took out a few more pieces of parchment from inside, but instead of the sorcery he wanted, it was a disassembled diagram of a sorcery spell formation.
Because there were no notes on it, Saul wasn’t sure what this spell formation did for the time being. He handed the parchment to Agu, who was sitting across from him, to look at.
Agu flipped through it twice and said hesitantly, “It might be a summoning type of spell formation.”
“Summoning what?” Sol asked curiously.
“This …… I can’t tell at the moment, but you can try to activate the spell sometime, and you don’t have to proceed to the last step to get a rough idea of what will be summoned.” “Will it be a giant wood growth?” Saul was a bit expectant.
Dean Pond’s Giant Wood Growth was quite powerful, and Saul could feel the strong pressure even when he stood next to the branches. If he hadn’t launched his attack before Kent, it wasn’t certain who could defeat who in the end.
“It doesn’t look as complicated as a fourth-order sorcery. But it’s also possible that the real runes are hidden.”
Sol smiled, hearing the comfort in Agu’s words.
He looked again at what was left in Kent’s compressed traveling bag, and there were only some not-so-rare sorcery materials.
“Though I know he doesn’t take much with him when he goes out, these are a bit too little.” Penny clearly didn’t have enough.
“It also shows that those materials I took out earlier in exchange for the evil spirits are actually still eye-catching, and the reason Kent would sneak up on me might not be without those materials. Looks like I’ll have to be more careful after that.”
“Ugh, brother Saul can’t blame you, who would have thought that the people out there would be so poor?” Penny was already bored, and it went through the wall of the car, wanting to fly outside and wander around.
But no sooner had it gone out for two seconds than it suddenly scurried back into the carriage.
“Brother Saul!”
“Shhh!” Saul put his index finger against his lips.
He felt it the moment Penny drilled back in.
Something was secretly crashing in the back of the wagon.
That thing emanated a faint spiritual energy, hid underground, and with a speed no slower than the carriage, was gradually approaching them.
“Komoro.” With a command from Saul, black tentacle-like vines whooshed out of the carriage through the window and quickly disappeared into the soil.
The carriage didn’t stop, and just after driving forward for three to five meters, several sounds of gold and stone clashing were heard from behind.
Saul was about to transform into an octopus monster and go out to help Xiao Zao, when he suddenly sensed the spiritual power catching up with him, he made a move, resumed his human form, and jumped down from the carriage.
“Shia Wizard?”
Saul felt the familiar fluctuation of spiritual power.
Only to his surprise, it was the light-colored root that had attacked them a few times and had just been ruthlessly wooed by Saul that fought with the algae!
The number of roots in front of them far exceeded the ones that Saul had encountered in the past, and they were as dense as seedlings in a field.
Algae was battling with the roots at the front.
The roots mainly relied on entanglement attacks, while the algae mainly relied on mouth bites.
Although the algae could split, it could not withstand the increasing number of roots.
“Shia? Is that you?” Thor raised his hand, and a black blade shadow quickly took shape above his head.
The dozen or so roots at the very front stopped attacking, and they gathered together, standing with their ends facing the sky, like a person standing there.
The other root whiskers seemed a bit puzzled, hovering in mid-air, not immediately launching their attacks.
The roots that stopped attacking first tangled together, and finally vaguely took on a human shape.
Thor maintained his black blade hovering in the air and took two steps closer to Shia.
“Are you …… swallowed by the Tree of Inversion?”
The humanoid figure made up of roots grew new branches, forming the shape of a mouth.
“Damn, run! Late! Too late!”
Cursing profanity never came out of the Shia wizard’s mouth.
At this time this word came out of his mouth, it was really full of heartache and resentment.
