Chapter 761 – Saul’s Value
Chapter 761 – Sol’s Value
“Will there be a place to store seawater around here?” Saul had taken some tissue samples from Krum’s corpse and was going to go back and test them some more.
“Below Sky City is the ocean.”
“That’s slightly further away.”
“We’re not in the habit of storing seawater, but you can look for it yourself.” Ophelia didn’t have the slightest intention of intervening to help, “But you can’t divulge Krum’s death or that lost biography.”
“Understood!” Saul didn’t care if Ophelia could read or not, and gestured an OK sign.
“Then can you show me that biography related to the Water God?” Sol explained, “I want to see what the second half of the biography might look like.”
The blue-skirted Ophelia raised her hand and a bubble emerged from her palm.
A stone slab was presented within the bubble. The stone slab was gray and had many broken edges. There seemed to be some dark green plants in some tiny crevices.
It was unknown whether it was moss or algae.
On top of the slate, there were some small words densely carved.
The construction of these words was relatively simple and somewhat similar to the language of the Highland Witch.
What was presented in the bubble was only an image of the biography, and Saul did not feel any powerful or mysterious aura from it.
“Is this what the second half of the biography looks like?”
“No, this is the first half. The lower half has become unknown, Krum is searched every time he enters or leaves the White Glazed Castle, and it’s impossible for the lower half to be taken out as it is.”
“Could it be hidden somewhere in White Glazed Castle?” Saul guessed.
Ophelia looked at Saul slyly, “What do you think?”
Well, one still couldn’t underestimate what a fourth-ranked sorcerer could do. Since it required Ophelia to expend a considerable amount of energy to find it, the other party must be hiding very deeply.
Saul took out his diary again.
When the dark red hardcover book appeared in Saul’s palm, Ophelia, who was standing by the side, flickered her eyes for a moment, and quickly returned to her normal expressionless look.
Saul did not bother to observe the look of the person next to him, and focused on the straight lines that extended from the diary to all corners of the room.
The straight lines that spread out turned the things around Saul into constructs of lines.
But only the form of Ophelia standing beside him was strange.
Instead of straight lines, it was some wavy lines, and those wavy lines happened to avoid the straight lines that the diary sent out.
If Thor wanted to, he could also make the lines of the diary entangle Ophelia’s wavy lines.
But that would certainly use up a lot of the diary’s energy, and it wouldn’t necessarily lead to any clues from Ophelia.
The diary’s line of death didn’t find the one belonging to Krum here, either.
Either Krum’s death line had dissipated and wouldn’t have any noticeable effect on the people here, or someone had erased the traces of Krum’s death.
The thread seems to be completely broken here.
As bizarre as something like the other person drowning where there was no water was, it wasn’t impossible for a wizard to do.
Saul didn’t know enough about the people here either, and for a while he barely had a clue.
In fact, as a fourth-ranked sorcerer, as well as the monitor of the White Glazed Castle, Ophelia was really the most suitable person to track down the cause of Krum’s death and the whereabouts of the Water God’s biography.
However, ……
It wasn’t as if Saul really didn’t have a clue at all.
He put away his diary and looked confident as he said, “Since there are no more clues within White Liuli Castle, I’ll be looking within Sky City next.”
Ophelia didn’t see what Saul had found either, “You have a clue?”
“Many clues are actually details that we overlook. And these details only become clues when we get specific information. So all I can say is that I need to get more information.”
“And what other information do you need?” “If we’re looking at it so far, I’d like to read that biography of the Water God.”
Saul thought that Ophelia would hesitate for a moment, but he didn’t expect the other party to immediately agree.
“I’ll have Ona arrange a room for you and send the first half of the biography to your room. You have one night to read it. I will retrieve it early the next morning.”
Sol raised his hand, “No, a stay is not necessary, and a night is not necessary to view the Water God’s biography. I am not interested in the Water God’s promotion method. Just want to understand the details that might be involved.”
Ophelia gazed at Sol, as if trying to confirm if he was truly not interested.
A method that had a probability of promoting to the fifth rank, even if Saul was only a third-ranked sorcerer, how could he really not be interested?
But for the next hour, Saul literally just finished flipping through another Water God biography that Ophelia had brought over outside the igloo, and then left White Glaze Castle in a flying carriage.
Before Saul left, he gave Ophelia his method of contacting the Illusory World.
As part of the deal, the other party would get a head start on the knowledge Saul provided while Saul tracked down Krum and the second half of the biography.
The two would follow up by communicating their progress and attempting to make contact with Pelle of the World of Illusion.
After Saul leaves, Oona, who sent him away, returns to the room where Krum died.
She no longer had the generous and standardized smile on her face that she had with Saul, and with a puzzled look on her face, she softly asked Ophelia here.
“Lord City Lord, isn’t Saul a third-ranked sorcerer in the Lordless Land? Why can he leave the Lordless Land?”
Ophelia glanced at Ona, who had come closer, and her flat voice rang out.
“He didn’t really rely on the Stargate’s resources to advance to the third rank. What’s more, he was able to take care of an eye of the wind by himself. This is something that none of the three Third Order before the Land of the Lordless could do.”
“Such a genius, both the Judgment Court and the Stargate Council will definitely pull him in. It depends on the strength and means of their pulling in.”
Ona leaned forward slightly, “Then maybe we should pull him in?”
Ophelia rested one hand on her other arm, her erect palm gently stroking her cheek.
“That depends on what he’s worth to us all.”
Ophelia smiled, and there was no joy in that smile.
……
Saul left the White Glazed Palace in a flying carriage and immediately returned to the small square of the airship’s harbor.
Underneath the canopy where he had stopped during the day, he unsurprisingly saw a cat’s paw shaped stone.
The tip of the paw was facing an alley.
That’s right, Saul had left Kate where she was when he met Oona, disguised as a kitten.
The other party was clearly just interested in Sol, and didn’t even look at Kate the orange cat.
And Kate then stayed behind to carry out Saul’s mission – to track down the squire and find the white porcelain kitten.
Compared to going to an audience with a fourth-ranked sorcerer, he apparently preferred to bully ordinary people.
While tracking along the mark left by Kate, a voice resounded within Saul.
[Brother Saul, aren’t you in a hurry to find the Water God’s biography? Do you still have to track down that squire on the white sky boat?]
Penny didn’t quite understand, it felt that what was so attractive about a piece of white porcelain cat that could kill ordinary people and might carry a curse that it could make Saul, a third-ranked sorcerer, put aside Ophelia’s commission and go track it down first?
“That white porcelain cat that can bring luck is not as ordinary as it seems. The few times I observed it, I didn’t find any magic or curse on it, but when Merchant Mike rolled the dice for the third time, I vaguely felt the power emanating from it. Faint, hidden. But such inconspicuous power was able to make that rich businessman win against me.”
Saul took a step away, and for the sake of stealth, he didn’t use instantaneous transportation.
“That’s what intrigues me the most about it.”
I’ve been organizing the plot today, so I’m a little late, and I’ll have a second chapter in a bit.
