Chapter 606 Fine Thoughts
“Knowledge of self and understanding of the world?”
Five days later, Saul finally returned to the Pure Spirit Sorcerer Tower, lying on the large pink couch left to him by his mentor and pondering the words of the wind demon Pei’er.
That day, shortly after they had negotiated their terms, Pei’er had indeed fallen into a deep sleep again, just as she herself had predicted.
Ann, on the other hand, continued to disguise herself as a wind demon and led Thor, who was disguised as a guard under the wind demon, out of the cliff.
Outside, Brando was still tangling with the wizards of the cliff, and when he saw the coded signal released by Sol, he immediately turned his head and ran.
An stopped the others who wanted to chase after him, leaving Saul alone to chase after Brando.
Thor is gone by this point.
Anne stays behind for a while, disguised as a fake wind demon with the help of a real wind demon, and starts a happy life as a queen.
At this point, Saul’s counterattack plan has been successfully completed.
Although there were a few unexpected interludes in the middle of the plan, it brought him a lot of unexpected gains.
Now, not only did he not have to worry about Broken Cliff’s retaliation, he also had an additional third-rank ally.
Although that Third Order’s current situation was also very dangerous, the Third Order was, after all, the Third Order, and no one would dare to disobey her orders before her complete demise.
It was thought that in a short while, Saul would be able to receive a letter of reconciliation sent over by Broken Cliff.
Anyway, on the surface, the one who suffered was the Pure Spirit Witch Tower, and Saul didn’t mind pretending to belong to the Wind Demon, and didn’t have to worry about the Wind Demon collapsing his persona.
It was just another little tidbit that Saul couldn’t see whether it was good or bad for him for the time being.
That was Kismet, who had suddenly appeared in the wind demon’s lair.
He seemed to have been hiding here in the Wind Demon for a while, it was just not clear what the purpose was.
After Kismet exaggeratedly greeted Saul, he said without thinking “Master must protect Miss Pei’er, oh, the Masterless Land is going to be owned by someone else.”
However, Saul had already decided to cooperate with the old hag when he guessed that she was a wind demon, and the two of them were sort of coincidental.
But then, Kismet made another strange request.
He knelt down on one knee and raised his hands above his head, palms facing upwards, as if he was praying for a reward.
“Please, master, grant me a fragment of your soul.”
At that moment, Sol froze for a moment, but after returning to his senses, he was the one who directly cut off a strand of tentacle tip from his fingertips and placed it in Kismet’s palm.
This time the surprised person became Kismet instead.
He didn’t seem to expect that Saul would agree, and even more so that Saul would agree so quickly.
He raised his head and looked at the strand of soul fragments that swam in his palm like a small gray fish, “You’re not afraid that I’ll use this strand of fragments against you?”
Sol shrugged, “It’s not like the diary objected.”
Kismet suddenly shuddered with laughter, “Will you always listen to the diary?”
It was the first time anyone had ever asked Saul that question.
He thought for a few seconds before answering calmly, “I have my own will.”
Kismet strained his neck, full of eagerness, “If it was based on your will, would you give me the soul fragment?”
Saul didn’t even need to think this time, “Yes.”
Kismet looked at Saul in a daze, “Why?”
Saul laughed freely, “Then I won’t tell you. Just in time to give you a taste of the Riddler as well.”
Kismet: “……”
As if to ease the awkwardness, Kismet naturally changed the subject.
“The False Wind Demon is coming over. It seems like she’s trying to solve the trouble she can’t handle at the moment by raising her strength.” “The False Wind Demon is only second rank, so I can meet her.” Saul had just been promoted to the second rank, and although he hadn’t yet learned a 4th rank sorcery, his Shadow Blade and Soul Dropping were both sorceries that could be upgraded according to his own strength, so it wasn’t as if he didn’t have the means to fight.
It just so happened that while Kismet was also here, he could let go of what level of strength he was currently at.
However, Kismet didn’t take the False Wind Demon, who was also of the second rank, seriously at all.
He suddenly moved behind Saul and whispered in his ear with a smirk, “Master, battles between sorcerers don’t need to be like fighters where you’re fighting each other, you just need to move your head and you’ll be able to easily take care of her.”
Saul turned around violently, only to find that Kismet had already disappeared.
Seeing that the False Wind Demon’s magical fluctuations were already getting closer and closer, Saul no longer hesitated and walked out of the cave’s light screen to meet the False Wind Demon halfway.
The opponent simply didn’t expect that Saul had already broken free from the dream world, and didn’t have time to launch an attack in the first place.
Instead, Saul activated his consciousness space the moment he saw the false wind demon!
And the change in strength after advancing to the second stage was undoubtedly evident.
In the past, it was difficult to pull in a second-order sorcerer, and even if he did, the space of consciousness had been escaped, but at the moment, he had imprisoned the false wind demon’s spiritual body almost instantly, and the false wind demon was unable to resist at all.
Due to the time constraints, Saul was not sure what had happened on the old witch’s side, and did not hold back, directly releasing countless tentacles in the battlefield of consciousness, tearing the False Wind Demon’s soul into countless pieces.
The opponent’s consciousness also entered the last black pages of Sol’s book.
However, unlike in the past, just after waking up from the consciousness platform, Saul saw a translucent thin line extending from the opposite False Wind Demon’s brow.
Only that thin line was rapidly disintegrating and disappearing, and was about to dissipate in the blink of an eye.
Saul hastily reached out and attempted to grab the remaining thin thread in the center of his opponent’s eyebrow.
When the thin thread entered his hand, he only saw the image of the fake wind demon falling into the starry sky.
It was strange, obviously flying upwards towards the starry sky, but it gave a feeling of falling.
It was like a drowning person sinking into the deep sea, helpless and desperate.
And the image quickly shattered.
In the end, all that was left of the wind demon was a fresh body of flesh that had lost its soul.
Now that I think about it, that thin thread was actually the thread of fate that Sol saw when he was promoted to the second rank.
And the broken and dissipated thread of fate also represented the future that the fake wind demon had lost due to death.
Returning from his memories, Saul lay backward, his entire body sinking into the soft sofa, “But that False Wind Demon is also miserable, even if he didn’t die at my hands that day, his future end looks quite miserable.”
“This already disappeared ending of hers is rather similar to what I saw in my dream.” Sol suddenly sat up straight, “If this future of the false wind demon disappears, will the people who fall into the stars in the future become true wind demons?”
In Saul’s precognitive dream, there was a blind giant, a burning forest, and a giant bird that fell towards the stars.
The rest was a black ocean that could not be seen.
If the giant bird falling towards the stars represented the wind demon, then didn’t the burning forest and the blinded giant represent Herbert, the Firefly Master, and Clark, the Dream Maker, who were also of the third order?
“The two of them don’t look to be in good shape either. But I also turned into a black skeleton in my dream, so I’m in no position to laugh at others.”
Thor raised his hand and took out a test tube from the storage, which sealed the contamination source he extracted from the body of the traveling merchant Gaga Drum.
He then took out another contamination source extracted from Justin’s body.
“After repeated experiments, it has been confirmed that these two sources of contamination are of the same essence, and are consistent with the contamination I absorbed from Claude.”
“The three of them have different strengths, different lifestyles, and different living locations, but it is basically certain that the contamination they are infected with is the same.”
“It’s the same contamination that once invaded my consciousness space in the guise of Kuroshio. Black Tide, Black Tide, and the black ocean in my dream don’t they also represent the same thing?”
Saul curled his fingers and the two test tubes disappeared. He held his chin, “It seems that the pollution in the Masterless Land is about to take a huge turn for the worse, and no one can escape.”
So, should we consider just leaving the Lordless Land, finding another place to build a wizard tower, and advancing to the Third Order?
