Chapter 748: Second Objective

Chapter 748 The Second Target

Saul also didn’t expect that Byron’s chance to make a trip out of the city would just be snuffed out by him.

Byron immediately opened his mouth to ask for the Elven Spring Water after realizing it was on Saul’s body.

Saul didn’t talk nonsense and directly handed the spring water to Byron.

He believed that Byron definitely knew more about elves than him now.

There was no need for him to inform him of all those dangerous precautions.

Afterwards, Saul asked Hope to go arrange food and lodging for Korrie again, while he himself went up to the fifth floor’s laboratory.

After entering the laboratory, Saul immediately began to check the Symphony of Fate spell formation he had designed.

After observing for a while, he nodded his head with some satisfaction.

“So far the entire spell formation is running smoothly, and the connection with Shia hasn’t gotten weaker due to the distance, the signal is stable.”

Saul took out a pen and paper and recorded all the process of his experiment and the problems he encountered in the middle.

This time, he deliberately organized a special note, if his Symphony of Fate could completely pry open the door to advance to the fourth rank, he would also use it as a basis and foundation to continue to advance to the fifth and sixth ranks.

The last time he accidentally traveled to the World of Illusion, it gave Saul a great touch.

Those star eyes said that they could be of the first order or the sixth order.

The strength and weakness could be freely transformed.

But the essence of it all is to have the strength of a stable sixth order.

Saul didn’t quite understand what the sixth rank meant yet, all he knew at the moment was that the fifth rank seemed to allow him to travel through different worlds.

But now that the path to the Fifth Order had been completely hidden, the existing Fourth Order wizards were struggling to find a way to advance.

Only Saul, being the one who also possessed the ability to clear the lines of destiny could follow a special path of advancement.

His experience and a drop of intuition told him that as long as he continued to grope along the line of destiny, he too could succeed in entering the Sixth Order, just like the starry eyes of the Phantasmagoria World!

It was just that Saul was still in the initial stage, and his overall strategy could be placed at the sixth rank, but actually going for it still only allowed him to aim for the fourth rank.

He took out the Death Sorcerer’s Diary and spread it out flat on the table, flipping to the page where Bestana was, and on the previous page, it was the black page that was a combination of a portion of the souls left behind by Nerilla and Pei’er, who had once pretended to be a wind demon.

Thor was very eager to communicate with the consciousness of the illuminated world again to better corroborate his thoughts on his advancement.

And now that the Pei’er of this world had not been able to contact the Pei’er far away in the Illusory World, he could only think of other ways to gain a deeper understanding of the power of the threads of destiny.

It would be even better if Bestana’s message could help him and Pei’er contact the Illusory World.

“Now you can continue.”

[Okay. The Inverted Tree is a wood-attribute magical creature, but its use of the Fate Thread is the most thorough I’ve ever seen. Of course, right now the most powerful person I’ve ever seen use the Fate Line is you, Sorcerer Sol].

Speaking of which, Bestana was again a bit puzzled.

[And this book of yours, it can actually preserve my consciousness in its entirety, and even the paranoia caused by my previous contamination by the Inverted Tree has been completely removed …… I can’t believe that a third order sorcerer can have such a powerful sorcery prop. How this book looks, it has at least a fourth order value.]

Saul thought to himself, “The diary’s special features don’t stop there. If you were to see the golden pages’ preview of the future, a diary that can judge the eye of the wind and anchor point changes would be at least fifth-order.”

He cleared his throat, “You don’t need to worry about that, for now you just need to know that I need knowledge related to the fate line.”

[Understood. Actually, during the period of bonding with the Inverted Tree ……]

Sol quietly listened to Bestana’s account of the powers and perceptions she had gained within the Tree of Inversions, which did have parts that were closely related to the threads of destiny.

For example, those who were controlled by the Tree of Inversions were those whose fate threads were ripped out of their bodies by the Tree of Inversions and then exerted an influence on them. Making them appear to be normal people in normal times.

But if the Inverted Tree needed it, it could manipulate them to do the will of the tree.

At the same time if the Inverted Tree needs a soul anymore, these people will be transformed from puppets to sustenance for the tree.

The city-wide sacrifice that Bestana had once unleashed was a complete development of the latter ability, which was pushed with full force regardless of the consequences. Saul was suddenly a bit curious, “I remember in the space of the tree’s heart, you told me that the Wishing Candle was something you snatched from Shia. And the fact that you became so negative later should also be caused by the curse of the wishing candle. What did you wish for at that time?”

[I, naturally, wished for my own successful resurrection.]

[But perhaps I didn’t use it properly and the wish I made was too difficult to fulfill. Although the wishing candle turned out a bottle of liquid, I still couldn’t complete my resurrection through that bottle of liquid, but instead, my entire being fell into despair, which is why I was so bent on dying with you after realizing that you had entered the Tree Heart Space.]]

[If you hadn’t suddenly said that there was another path to choose from, I, who was controlled by despair at that time, would have definitely already made a move against you.]

“Liquid? What kind of liquid?”

[I don’t know, the Wishing Candle doesn’t tell me information about the items I get from wishing. I used it directly without thinking about anything at the time. It did accelerate my fusion with the Inverted Tree, but it also accelerated the contamination on me. Heh, sure enough, the Wishing Candle lives up to its title of a cursed item].

“Are there many cursed things in this world?”

[Very few, at the very least I know that even many Third Order have never seen one. That’s why I didn’t expect at all that Shia, a 1st Order sorcerer, would have a Wishing Candle in his hands. One of the cursed properties of the Wishing Candle is that once someone asks about it, you must answer and explain.”]

“No wonder you answered me immediately when I asked you what that was at that time. This trait is really …… “Saul snorted, “Trying to cause people to fight.”

No wonder Shia’s nerves were so tense before. Whoever possessed this would have told about the Wishing Candle as soon as they were discovered and asked about it.

And he was still just a first rank, he couldn’t grab it from anyone.

After a moment, Bestana suddenly reacted.

[Is it that my information …… is not very useful to you?]

Sol shook his head, “That’s not true, the way the Inverted Tree strips away the fate lines interests me. It’s just that what I need more right now is how to connect with other people’s fate lines.”

Saul curled his fingers and knuckled his knuckles against another black page.

“For example, I have part of someone’s soul right now, and her fate line, but try as I might, I can’t connect her to another part of her spirit that is far away on another world.”

[How would you connect, merge the soul here with the soul over there? I’m afraid that would require traveling to another world, or having a spirit from another world come over. The partitioning of worlds is a problem that plagues fourth-order sorcerers, and it’s not something we can solve right now.”]

“There’s no need for a complete fusion for now, but at the very least, we need to let the two complete their exchange and communication.”

[If that’s the case, at least the power of a fourth-order sorcerer is needed for that to happen. Only then would they be able to knock a little bit of the world barrier and transmit the information out.”]

Saul pondered, if he had to ask a fourth-order sorcerer to help him, which one could he afford with the current price he could offer?
Or which Fourth Order Sorcerer was a bit safer and wouldn’t suddenly trip him up in the middle of the process?

At this time, Pei’er, who had been reluctant to speak, suddenly wrote white text.

[Let’s go find that bastard Ophelia].

Saul bowed his head, “Ophelia still hasn’t revealed anything even though she knows that Pelle will be sacrificed, are you sure she will help us?”

[Heh, that–]

[Pelle-san, please don’t swear.]

On the same black page, another font surprisingly appeared, that of Nerella.

[Abominable! Don’t call me Pei’er, I’m not that stupid woman!]

Sol tapped the page again, “Go on.”

[Although Ophelia doesn’t think highly of the Stargate program, she is also interested in the outside world. This woman’s interest is paramount, for the sake of her purpose, she can even lose her face, you just need to reveal a little bit of the outside world to her, and she will definitely help you positively.”]

“Very well.” Saul nodded in satisfaction.

In this way, Ophelia was indeed a good person to ask for help.

Powerful and smart, sober and cold.

Such a sorcerer was well suited to be the second target of the Symphony of Fate!
As for how to incorporate her into the Pentagram of Fate thread, it would require Saul to plan and strategize.
