Chapter 530 – Forced to cooperate
Chapter 530 – Forced to Cooperate
Water Flows ……
The old witch’s heart fluttered, but then felt ridiculous.
How dare this brat even mention the Masterless Land?
She had been here for so many years, and she was also respectful of the sound of that water flow. Even third-ranked witches wouldn’t actively approach it.
How dare he talk about using the black tide as a hidden danger?
But why couldn’t she resist shaking her head when it was clear that her heart felt incredibly ridiculous?
That eagerness to know the answer eventually overcame the old hag’s pride.
She gently shook her head.
“Clatter ……”
A clear stream of water was heard.
The old witch’s face changed at once.
“How did you …… do that?” She asked incredulously.
There had never been only witches unfortunate enough to be contaminated by the Black Tide, where had I heard of someone being able to utilize the Black Tide to contaminate other witches?
Before that, wouldn’t the person utilizing the Black Tide be corrupted through by the Black Tide first?
“Trade secret.” Saul casually pulled out a word that the old witch couldn’t understand, “Can you let me go?”
“You… If you kill me, I’ll make you die with me.”
“Are you dead now?” Saul cocked his head.
The old hag hesitated for a moment and gave Saul a hard stare.
But after that glance, the air that had imprisoned Saul was released.
Seemingly feeling that it was a bit humiliating to just compromise and release Saul, the old hag struggled to find her way back.
“Don’t forget that my finger is still on you, and if I die, I guarantee you’ll be in so much pain that you won’t want to live either.”
Saul didn’t respond, he was taking deep breaths and adjusting to the fact that he was just about to suffocate.
He walked over and finally saw the old hag’s new body.
The other’s stomach was huge, while her arms and legs were thin and limp, looking very deformed.
“You completely gave up your original body and used remodeling materials as your new body, the price is that the new materials aren’t enough to build an adult figure, so you can only use such a baby-like but deformed body now.”
The old hag was not interested in listening to Saul’s theories. Ever since she heard the sound of water flowing in her own head, even if she remained motionless, she could vaguely hear the sound of water flowing in her ears.
Along with this weird sound of water, she gradually felt that something in her body seemed to be out of control.
The most frightening thing was that she still didn’t know where she was out of control.
Saul knew what the old hag was nervous about and didn’t waste any more time. He casually took out a robe from the storage and utilized Magic Trick, a 0th-order sorcery, to make the clothes smaller, then threw it to the old hag.
“Put it on. You don’t care, and I still think it’s hot.”
The old hag still didn’t understand what hot eyes meant, but she could feel the malice that filled it.
What’s more, she wasn’t exactly used to running around naked.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but explain a sentence for herself, “This is only temporary. The perfect body will grow into the shape I need as needed.”
Sol rubbed his chin, “Oh? Is it the elven remains powder that plays a role in this?”
Sol became more interested in the torso material. It was a pity that the old hag hadn’t bothered to use the material on him in the end.
“Never mind, think of it as an experimental group. The formula for blood and flesh merging spirits hasn’t been completely remodeled into a shape that suits me.”
Blood and Flesh Merging Spirit was a transformation sorcery exclusive to the high-ranking wizards of the Blood Rose family that Anne was a member of.
It was at least a second-ranked sorcerer who could perform the transformation.
And back then, there was only one Second Order in the entire Blood Rose Family.
And that second-order also failed to successfully complete the transformation of flesh and blood to merge with the spirit, and finally suffocated and died in the Valley of the Drooping Hand.
Saul had taken someone else’s ready-made transformation formula and naturally had to amend it again.
This was destined to be a big project.
However, thanks to the large amount of materials provided by the old witch, Saul had finally finished improving the “flesh and blood” part of the Flesh and Blood Spirit.
However, if he wanted to merge the spirits, he still needed a lot of souls as materials.
At this time, the old witch had already put on her shrunken wizard’s robe with great difficulty.
With a stomach as big as her head, she looked like a snowman piled up in winter. “How are you going to fix the contamination I’ve received?”
“Solve it slowly.”
“You!” The old hag narrowed her eyes, killing intent flowing from her eyes, “Do you really think that there is no way for me to clean you up?”
Saul shook his left hand, which had turned into six fingers, signaling the old witch to relax.
“You misunderstand, I am not as strong as you after all. This is only so that we can communicate on an equal plane.”
“Hmph!” The old witch snorted coldly, “Then how do you want to communicate next?”
“Of course it’s still the perfect body. But judging by your current state, I think there is still room for improvement in this transformation formula. Also I would like to combine it with my own transformation formula.”
The old hag remained puzzled, “I can’t help you in your research.”
The old witch had long ago realized. Although Saul was only a first-order sorcerer, he was far beyond her level in terms of sorcery knowledge and research on sorcerous body transformation.
She could not help at all in this area.
“I know. I have my own other helpers.” Thor pointed to several of his consciousnesses.
Also the diary had a veto.
“Although the Lordless Land is called Lordless, most of the area here is actually nominally occupied by three Third Order sorcerers. And I, as an alien sorcerer with only first-order strength, will certainly have great difficulty in securing enough sorcery materials.”
“But you are different. Not only have you lived here for many years, but you have also managed to collect so many sorcery materials. I think you must have a way to collect them again as well.”
“So you want to control me as your slave, your experiment?”
“Don’t dare, how about an equal exchange? I will also help you perfect this body in synchronization. Besides, you’re in such a hurry to change your body, you probably need a place to hide.”
The old witch hesitated for a long time this time.
The sound of water flowing resounded in her ears from time to time.
The sound annoyed her. And she was more afraid that she would one day get used to the presence of this sound.
At that time, she was afraid that she would not be far from being completely alienated.
“Fine. But the prerequisite is that you must get rid of the contamination on me. Otherwise all cooperation is empty talk. Both you and I will only end up dead.”
“That’s fine, but before that, let’s sign a contract first. After all, we don’t trust each other.”
Sol raised his hand and a secret contract appeared in his palm.
“A goblin contract?” The old witch immediately called out the alias of the secret language contract, then suddenly realized something, “Wait, you’re actually hiding a space storage prop in your body? Impossible, I clearly searched your body!”
“The latest product of Baidong Academy. You can learn about it.” Saul naturally wouldn’t inform the old witch where he had hidden his storage props, and just smiled as he spread the secret contract out flat on the lab table.
“Please.”
……
After signing the cooperation contract, Saul had a ground guide in the Lordless Land.
Although this guide’s own identity was not visible, the information she could provide to Saul was much more than Claude, who had already been contaminated by the Black Tide.
Because the old witch was being hunted by the second of the three chiefs of the Land of the Undiscovered, they left the old witch’s “rat hole” immediately after completing the signing of the contract.
Thor also managed to rescue Marsh, the coachman.
It is a pity that when the old witch tied him and the coachman back, she thought that the carriage was too big and conspicuous, and directly destroyed it on the spot, resulting in the loss of transportation when Saul moved.
As compensation Saul collected the old witch’s Byzek Magic Mirror as well as the magical and ferocious peeling wooden stick.
At the same time, in order to appease the old hag and avoid her immediate rage, he used his transparent tentacle, Soul Dropping, to suck half of the black tide out of the old hag’s body.
In doing so, the sound of the water flowing in the old hag’s ears immediately became smaller. She also felt the vague uneasiness in her body fade away a lot.
Seeing that Sol was able to suck away the black tide pollution from her body so easily, the old hag’s gaze at Sol changed again.
It changed from that kind of displeasure and indignation to shock mixed with some thought.
Even her attitude was much better.
The old hag was very willing to cooperate properly, so Saul naturally didn’t have to bump around like a fly without a head like he did when he first entered the Masterless Land.
After hearing Saul say that he wanted to go to a place with a large number of spirit bodies to start the subsequent experiments, the old hag immediately provided an option.
“If you’re not afraid of evil spirits, then Lake Rhine is the most suitable place for you to conduct long-term experiments.” The old hag pointed in a direction, “As far as I know, the owner there is still only a first-ranked sorcerer. You can directly snatch the Rhine Lake, or you can use your favorite way …… to exchange it for an equal amount.”
