Chapter 605: Plotting against the Devil
“Willing to scheme?” Pei’er pondered.
Saul released the body of the fake wind demon, “First, we have to figure out how exactly Clark devoured you into his dream. Then we need to sever that connection and get you back to your peak strength as soon as possible so that you can resist Clark’s backstabbing. And all of this will take time.”
Saul recalled Anne with a single click and let her into the newly dead body of the fake wind demon again.
“Huh, master, you got me a new body to play with?” Ann was pleased with the fake wind demon’s body, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she went up and down on herself.
Saul shared the information he had gotten within his consciousness and then said to Ann, “Stay here for this period of time, disguise yourself as a fake wind demon, and try to do your best for ……”
Saul glanced at the demonic woman standing beside him, “Ahem, try to buy time for Pei’er to recover.”
Ann patted her chest, “No problem master! It’s just that I don’t really know the fake wind demon, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to learn it.”
“Doesn’t matter.” Pei’er spoke up, “Nerella is just imitating me as well, you just need to leave everything to your men and just laze around on weekdays if you have nothing to do.”
“That’s kinda easy.” With a twinkle in her eye, Anne had begun to stand in Pelle’s demeanor and posture.
It had to be said that An was still very talented, with a posture like that, she actually looked more like the real Pei’er than the fake wind demon.
Saul looked sideways as if he was looking at something, and after a moment, he said to Pei’er and An, “This look can only fool the people under the wind demon’s hand. If Firefly Lord Herbert comes over, he will definitely find something wrong.”
“Herbert?” Pei’er frowned, “He and I have never gotten along …… Are you saying that Herbert and Nerilla are secretly connected? With his ability, there’s no way he can’t see Nerella’s disguise, so he’s also in the know about Clark’s attempt to devour me?”
Despite having her body and primary consciousness back, Pelle sadly found herself in no better position.
The whole of No Man’s Land, it seemed, was her enemy.
The only ally, after all, was the little wizard in front of her who had just advanced in rank.
And this little wizard really had some ability.
Pei’er realized that he could always know some news that he was completely unaware of, and he was very sure about the authenticity of the news.
That being the case, then her work with Saul had to continue.
Pelle took the initiative and said, “I’ll cover my breath over Ann, so that Herbert can’t notice anything different about Ann as long as he doesn’t come in person and talk at a distance.”
After saying that, Pei Er reached out and flipped her hand, and a small palm-sized mirror appeared in her palm.
Surprisingly, it was a scaled-down version of the Byzek Magic Mirror.
After taking out the magic mirror, Pei Er hesitated for a moment and handed it over to Saul like she had made up her mind.
“This, you will keep it for me.”
Puzzled, Saul took the Magic Mirror and looked down, realizing that there was a thumb-sized Wind Demon Pei’er slumbering inside.
“Is this your consciousness?”
“It’s a part of my main consciousness. After returning to this body, I could feel a force trying to pull me into Clark’s dream world. Even a part of my main body’s consciousness has been submerged in Clark’s dream kingdom.”
“When Clark took advantage of the fact that both my body and soul were traumatized to sneak in, even though I was still able to resist at that time, if I continued to pull, the final result would definitely be me being devoured by him. So I immediately gave up most of my consciousness and body at that time, split my other self and went out to look for medicines that could cure my physical injuries. At the same time, in order to avoid Clarke finding out about the alter ego, I shielded some of her memories and cognition. She didn’t know anything except that she had to construct a perfect body, and even if Clark found out, she wouldn’t be clear about her relationship with me.”
It dawned on Saul, “That drug is actually your perfect body?”
Pelle acquiesced, “As you can see, the perfect body repaired the surface scars on my body, but it will take time to fully recover. But it finally allowed me to get back in the fight with Clark.” “But it’s still more of a win for him at the moment. And as soon as he probes carefully, he’ll realize that I’ve awakened, at which point he’ll surely use stronger tactics to pull me in again, and I’ll fall into a deep sleep as a result. But as long as the main consciousness in your hands is not invaded by the dream, I can still wake up on my own and continue to repair my damaged mental body.”
“So, like you said, I need more time now.”
Saul put away the magic mirror and solemnly said, “I’ll take good care of it.”
Pei’er smiled with arched eyebrows as she slowly approached Saul, her arm encircling around the other’s neck, “So, now it’s your turn to make a deal.”
Saul’s body tensed slightly, “I’ll talk about conditions?”
“Of course. You had your servant disguise Nerilla, and you helped me keep the Master Consciousness in the Magic Mirror. I can’t believe that you didn’t realize that this would completely offend Clark, and I can’t believe that you were really so kind …… So, now tell me what you want?”
Wind Demon Pelle was of a different stature than the old hag, but was also a petite female who needed to tilt her head in order to meet Saul’s eyes as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
She raised her eyes to look upward, and her gaze, which was stern with a touch of petulance, was like a knife that pierced into one’s heart and didn’t feel any pain yet.
An watched from the side, suddenly her heart tightened and she began to worry about her master.
Wind demon name with a “demon” word, definitely not a simple witch!
“I wonder if my master can hold it? Damn it, I should have helped my master exercise more in this area! By the way, does master have no experience at all in this area?”
An was dryly anxious at the side.
Pei’er also looked fixedly at Sol, waiting for his answer.
The result ……
“Pfft! Cough cough cough ……”
Saul raised his hand to take down Pelle’s tender arms and covered his lips with one hand.
“That …… Sorry, let’s just talk properly. I don’t know why, but I always think of you with your old hag head. I don’t have that strong sense of immediacy yet if I stay away.”
The smile on Pelle’s face stiffened for a moment as she glanced at the old hag’s head on the floor and casually swept it out of sight in the corner.
“Good!” She changed her demeanor and became a little impatient, taking a step back and leaning against the stone platform that had originally housed the wind demon’s torso, “You’d better hurry, Clarke could be checking on my state at any moment. If I fall into an immediate slumber, you’ll have to wait until I wake up next time to negotiate a deal.”
Saul put away the smile on his face and said with a straight face, “First, I need your power to shelter the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower.”
“This is no problem. The division of forces for third-order wizards isn’t as clear-cut as the territory of a principality, and Clark doesn’t have the time to care about a small lake right now.”
“Second, I need you to help me advance to the Third Order.”
“You’ve just been promoted to the second rank and you’re thinking about the third rank?” Pelle snorted, “Although you are indeed a genius in research, the higher up the wizard class you go, the more difficult it is to promote, and one out of ten Second Order will be lucky to be promoted to Third Order.”
“I don’t know about others, I’m sure of myself.” Saul didn’t care about Pei’er’s mockery, “Because I’m sure I can advance, what’s wrong with starting preparations from the beginning?”
Pei’er didn’t know whether to praise him for his confidence or laugh at his arrogance, so she agreed, “Good. But you should also be clear about one thing. Starting from the second stage to the third stage, outside resource assistance is no longer the main thing. What can truly help you advance is still your understanding of self and your communication with the world.”
