Chapter 698 Causation
Chapter 698 Causality Theory
Kismet looked at Saul with a somewhat complicated expression.
“Yes, my brother master.”
The two figures disappeared at the same time and reappeared already at the top of the Pure Spirit Sorcerer Tower.
“Make a deal.” Saul raised his hand, and a dark red hardcover book suddenly appeared in his palm.
Diary of a Death Wizard.
The first official appearance in this world.
Once upon a time, it could only be seen by its owner.
But now, Saul had been able to remove it with impunity, even if it was made public.
Because now he finally felt the existence of the diary clearly.
It was a substantial power, and no longer an image that could be seen and touched.
In fact, Saul had clearly felt the changes in the diary as early as when he had successfully sealed the eye of the wind.
It was no longer a towering, icy prophet.
Rather, it was a power that he could truly dispatch.
Although the full power tier of the diary was at least at the 4th rank, and he was still unable to dispatch it fully with his current strength, it was finally not like before when he knew nothing, was vague, and could only passively act according to the diary’s instructions.
Now that Herbert is dead, Pei’er can t be saved for the time being, and the pollution crisis of the Rhine Lake has been solved, Saul finally has the time to deal with the diary …… as well as the problem of Kismet.
“To be honest, I didn’t expect you to stay here.” Saul flipped through the diary, this time using his own fingers to gently flick the white pages.
The pages were delicate to the touch, like a baby’s skin.
Saul looked at the words on the diary, which were one of the adventures and death-defying experiences he had had.
There were a lot of emotions in his heart.
“If my senses are not wrong. The connection between you and the diary was disconnected when I came out of the eye of the wind. But before it was disconnected, the information passed to me from above told me that you actually …… were originally a fourth rank sorcerer, right?”
“Yes.”
Unlike when facing the Ophelia doppelganger, at this moment, Kismet looked honest.
It was like a different person.
“While looking at the diary, I also saw the chains that the diary bound to you. So everything you did before was in service of the diary.”
Kismet rubbed his nose, “It’s not that miserable.”
Saul chuckled lightly, not reminding Kismet of how many times he had lamented his miserable fate before.
“Now, the chains that the diary bound to you are all chopped off …… However, you haven’t completely gotten rid of the diary, have you? Otherwise, you should have immediately left the vicinity of the diary and completely opened the seal on your body at the first moment you were freed.”
“Having just grasped the diary, have you already discovered so much information?” Hearing Sol’s straightforward words, Kismet let out a breath, “My adorable brother master, you are really suitable to be the diary’s new master.”
“The deal you want to make with me is to help me get rid of the diary completely, is that right?” Kismet asked rhetorically, having already guessed some of this.
“That’s right.” Thor nodded, “I don’t know how the original controller of the diary sealed a part of your soul in the diary, but I do have a way to help you get that part of your soul back now.”
Saul held out his hand and the diary in his palm flipped rapidly until the last page.
After the fourth black page was turned over, a fifth black page suddenly surfaced where the bottom cover of the book should have been.
Unlike the previous pages, it was as if this page had been torn off by someone, leaving only half of it.
But this half sheet alone was completely different from the other black book pages that had some rough edges.
It was as if it was carefully cut from obsidian, with an overall crystal clarity and the elasticity of metal.
Saul flexed his fingers and flicked on it, and it made a sound as clear and pleasant as the sound of strings moving.
“The sorcerer who created the Death Witch Diary is really powerful, the consciousness bodies under his control are all powerful existences like you. But for me, you are powerful but uncontrollable, and are no longer suitable to continue residing in a diary that thoroughly belongs to me.”
Saul gently shook the black pages of the book in his hand, looking at Kismet with his gaze swinging along with the pages.
“Moreover, if I continue to control you with this black book page, I will only be revolted by the uncontrollable you, right?”
Kismet stroked his chin, since Saul had already found out the truth, he didn’t need to think about how he was going to fool Saul. Perhaps sometimes, being more sincere and straightforward could be more efficient in doing things.
“Well, you know pretty much everything already. So, what do I need in exchange for my freedom?”
After saying that, Kismet sat straight down, elbows against his knees, chin resting on the backs of his hands.
He was waiting for Saul to make an offer.
“With something of equal value, of course.” Saul put away the diary, and it disappeared into Saul’s hands as if it had never existed, “You help me advance to the fourth rank, and you, a fourth rank sorcerer, will be able to regain your freedom.”
Kismet: “……”
He wanted to ask Saul where these two things were equivalent.
But looking at Saul’s appearance, he probably had no room to bargain.
If Saul hadn’t been aware that the diary contained part of his soul, then Kismet would still have had a chance to play tricks on him, but now ……
“Then sign the contract.” Kismet’s face raised a smile once again, “How else am I supposed to trust you?”
Seeing the cozy smile on Kismet’s face, Saul did not have the solid feeling of a deal being struck.
Having already dealt with Kismet for so many years, he had a certain understanding of Kismet’s character as a person.
The other party was smiling like this, but in his heart, he was afraid that he had already begun to calculate.
But Saul wanted Kismet to assist him in continuing his promotion.
This task is difficult and full of danger. The slightest mistake could lead to “death”.
He did not want Kismet to make any small thoughts on this matter, leaving any means of hidden danger.
Therefore, Saul once again summoned the Day of the Dead Witch.
Kismet tilted his head and saw the diary in Saul’s hand once again, and a hint of caution flashed under his smiling eyes.
This little master acted unexpectedly many times, so much so that Kismet would be on his guard when facing him.
However, when he saw Saul’s next move, his entire being was stunned.
Saul actually turned the diary again to the last page …… Then, he tore off the half of the black pages that were as crystal clear as obsidian.
The index and middle fingers of the book page gently flicked, and half of the book page was like a dart, shooting straight at Kismet’s face.
It was only at the last second, until that half of the book page was almost inserted into Kismet’s forehead, that the latter reacted back to his senses and pinched the book page that Saul had flown over.
Kismet was truly mesmerized and stunned by Saul’s operation this time.
Until he had already pinched the half-sheet of black pages that sealed his soul, he couldn’t believe what was happening in front of him.
“You …… why ……”
The thing that he had been craving for hundreds of years, the soul that he thought he would have to plot for decades more, had returned to his hands so lightly.
Unlike the ecstasy of the chains being taut just now, at this time Kismet only felt …… empty.
As if everything was just a dream, blinking, about to wake up.
“No reason.” Saul said calmly, “I’ve completed the part of the deal that I needed to complete, and now, it’s your turn to slowly fulfill your promise.”
“I haven’t promised yet.”
Kismet beamed, and her entire taut back collapsed.
Though he didn’t say yes with his mouth, his hand clutched his half of the black pages.
Saul wasn’t as relaxed as he appeared to be.
What he had just thrown out was probably worth half of No Man’s Land.
He looked at Kismet and slowly narrowed his eyes.
In his eyes, he himself once again became a complex, tangled mass of light, and a translucent ray of light surprisingly appeared trembling from Kismet across the room, hesitantly, but not selectively, stretching out in front of Thor and connecting with one of the threads of Thor’s light mass.
The second application of the thread of fate: causality – reached!
