Chapter 799: The Lamp

Chapter 799 Raising the Lamp
Keri could stop the tryst of a third-ranked sorcerer who was also a member of the Stargate Council, but she definitely couldn’t stop the Judgment Court’s flying carriages on her own.

Even that driver of the carriage was only a second-ranked sorcerer.

Unless the Oller wizard who had just left came back again and united with her to leave Saul behind.

But Corey knew full well that this was impossible.

Though she told Saul that the Oller Wizard was upset with Saul because his student had died in No Man’s Land. But the root of the conflict between the two sides is really a clash of perceptions between House Glow and the Stargate Speaker.

In the face of Saul, who was already destined to belong to the Glow faction, they certainly would not put forth any effort to retain him.

Moreover, the Judgment Court was inviting rather than arresting, so it was even more unlikely that the other side would clash with the Pegasus Carriage for the sake of Saul.

Seeing the worry in Keri’s eyes, Saul instead comforted her, “Don’t worry, anyway, I promised to go to the Court of Judgment to meet that big brother. I just didn’t expect them to be waiting here.”

Saul counted the time, “There is still half a month before the agreed time, it’s a bit late to leave at this time.”

Perhaps it was the Judgment Court that decided to come over to pick up Saul when they saw his delayed appearance.

As for how they knew that Saul would appear here …… perhaps each had their own method of knowing, just like the patriarch of Glow.

While talking, the flying carriage that was low-profile except for the horses had stopped in front of Saul and Corey.

Even if the wings did not flap drastically, the carriage could hover smoothly in the air.

The wizard driving the carriage was covered in a black cloak, and even when he came in front of Saul, he did not reveal his face.

The wizard carriage driver’s voice was dark and hoarse, “Sir Saul, please get on the carriage, I will take you to the Eternal Night King’s Palace.”

Saul did not expect the destination to be the Neverwinter Nights Empire, “Isn’t it to the Court of Judgment?”

“The Court Master will be waiting for you there.”

Saul turned his head sideways and said to Corey, “I had promised to travel to the Court of Judgment before, and now I count it as an appointment. Just please apologize to Matriarch Norton for me, and I will visit again when I have the chance.”

Corey said nothing, but could only quietly watch Saul board the carriage of the Court of Judgment.

The interior of the Judgment Court’s carriage was as low-key as its exterior, and it could even be described as humble.

Inside the carriage, apart from the most basic wooden seats, there weren’t even any cushions.

The entire carriage didn’t even have a single window either, but there was a carrying lamp placed on the very back seat.

The entire lamp holder was made of brass, and a thin layer of dust had already fallen on the inner glass wall. The handle above the lamp was also polished.

It looked like a lamp that had been used for a long time.

The light inside was stable, even in the bumpy carriage, the wick inside did not shake violently, but kept emitting a soft glow, making the dark-toned carriage look warm.

Saul chose to sit down against the right seat, and his gaze couldn’t help but fall on the rear carrying lamp.

He thought to himself, “The highest specification carriage of the Court of Judgment doesn’t have any sorcerer’s props inside, and doesn’t use sorcery or fluorite to illuminate it, yet it chooses such an ordinary lamp. Could there be some kind of mechanism on there that I can’t see?”

Saul had already swept through the entire carriage with his mental power, and there was not the slightest bit of magical feedback except for the Pegasus in the front and the second-ranked sorcerer carriage driver.

Including the lifting lamp in front of him.

But Saul couldn’t believe that this Pegasus carriage was really just that ordinary.

At that moment, Kate, who had been casually placed on the ground by Saul, struggled out of her cloak.

“I-I need water.” Kate breathed hard, “My skin is already starting to dry out.”

Fortunately, the wagon was spacious enough, and Saul took out a large wooden bucket from the storage, just enough to stuff Kate’s entire fish into it.

He cast another 0th-order water sorcery and directly filled the barrel with water, which saw Kate burrow her head out and lean against the edge of the barrel, easing over a breath.

“How’s the adaptation to the new body going?” Saul closed off the space inside the wagon, and the wizards outside couldn’t hear them.

“Not well at all.” Kate said dejectedly, “Lord Saul, you’d better create a new vessel for me as soon as possible. This body has no legs and the internal organs are strange, I think I might be going crazy if I stay any longer.”

Saul raised his hand and pressed it on the top of Kate’s head, he didn’t want to touch the head, but he injected magic power into Kate’s new body. “There is indeed a lot of contamination in this body. I originally wanted to get to the Glow Residency and help you clean up the contamination, but I didn’t expect to start running around again now.”

He withdrew his hand, more impurities resembling a mixture of dirt and algae in his palm.

Sol poured the impurities in his hand into a test tube, sealed the mouth, and put it back into the storage.

“For now, let’s simply clean you up as you try to get used to this body.”

Kate looked up in shock, “Aren’t you going to change my container?”

Saul smiled and leaned back in his seat, “So the original test has been to see how your soul reacted when you were inside a cat, now it’s the perfect opportunity to see how you’re doing inside a mermaid. A mermaid, what a rare experimental material.”

Kate’s cheeks twitched.

But he was also well aware of the rarity of mermaids, and if he thought differently, he, Kendi, would want to study a mermaid’s body as well.

In the end all he could do was sigh, “Ugh, well then you can watch over my soul, don’t let me go really crazy.”

Kate stopped talking after that, soaking in peace and repairing her skin that was cracked from the previous high altitude rush.

In the closed carriage, Saul couldn’t see outside and didn’t know where the carriage had flown to.

After about an hour, the lurching carriage began to descend, followed by a slight vibration, and then came to a complete stop.

The carriage door was opened from the outside, and the sunlight immediately shone into the carriage, turning the interior of the carriage, which was originally a warm yellow hue, into a bright white color.

But the carriage driver at the door didn’t let Saul out of the car.

“Sir Saul, next we’re going to enter the super long-distance teleportation array that leads from the Iskiper Continent to the Skite Continent. You don’t have to worry about safety, but at the same time you can’t mobilize your magic power or spirit power during this period.”

Sol had heard of the Ultra Long Distance Teleportation Formation.

But ……

“Why are traveling to Skeet?”

The continent of Sket was on the northwestern side of the world’s existing continents, with Ethkiper in the center, and Nephrite was to the east and closer to the southern hemisphere.

Saul traveled to Nefret, normally going through Iskeper, who would have expected him to come over so easily, only to be brought back to Sket by the people of the Court of Judgment.

“We’re not going to the Palace of Eternal Night?”

“Going. Only it’s faster to go this way.” Before Saul could inquire, the coachman lowered his voice and continued, “There are no direct ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays in Ethkelper and Nephrite.”

Were all the conflicts between the Stargate Council and the Court of Judgment already this deep?
The car driver didn’t give Sol time to think, and directly closed the car door.

Originally, his mission was to take Sol to Nefret, as long as Sol obediently followed him.

Anyway, …… even if he wants to run, he can t run anymore.

Saul sat in the carriage and suddenly felt the loss of his ability to perceive space.

Because he had already had several experiences of traveling to the chaotic domain, this kind of transcontinental spatial teleportation array did not make him lose his composure.

At the same time, Saul firmly controlled his magic power not to venture out.

But right at this moment, his mental power, which was extremely sharp, suddenly turned towards the lamp carrier inside the carriage.

That carrying lamp surprisingly continued to emit a steady glow as it moved through space.

It was as if it wasn’t in the carriage but in a separate space, completely unaffected by the effects of ultra-long-distance teleportation!

Sol’s pupils suddenly contracted, and in the midst of the chaotic spatial perception, in the midst of a slight dizziness, a name suddenly popped into his mind.

Frim!
Pay your respects to the big man!
