Chapter 802: Danger and Opportunity Coexist
Chapter 802 – Danger and Opportunity Coexist
Seeing the surprise in Saul’s eyes, Byron remembered something and shook his head, and the amazement that had just carried an impactful aura suddenly disappeared.
It changed back to that senior with ordinary appearance and strange personality.
Because of the instantaneous landing at Saul’s feet Floco sat up. Although he was wearing a cloak, his mermaid tail was too long and showed through the gap in the cloak.
“Saul, your teleportation can even be done without the help of magic elemental particles, you should know that the environment there in Dwarf Valley is such that even the fourth rank can’t teleport in it. In the future, the Judgment Court’s importance to you will definitely increase by another level.”
Sol froze for a moment.
It turned out that Dwarf Valley was unable to instantly move. It looked like that was the caravan driver of the Court of Judgment who wanted to laugh at his whimsicality, but in the end, he held back.
“Unintentionally exposing the way I teleport. But it doesn’t matter, even if they find out that I don’t rely on magic power for my instantaneous movement, they won’t know what I use as coordinates. As for valuing it or not, I definitely won’t be able to keep a low profile in order to set up the new Symphony of Fate in the future.”
Thinking of this, Saul said to Fluke, “It’s okay.”
Sol then walked over to Byron, “The elven aura on Senior is heavier, didn’t the elven spring water used last time have any effect?”
There was no need to hide it, the elven aura on Byron just now was so heavy that Flocke, who was once of the fifth rank, would definitely be able to recognize it.
Moreover, Floco was fifth-ranked a few hundred years ago, and should know more about elves than any of them.
Floco had just been thinking about Saul’s instantaneous movement, and it was only after Saul ran to Byron that he remembered that there was indeed an elf’s shadow on Byron just now.
He leapt up from the ground and sat directly on Byron’s lab table, and if it wasn’t for the mermaid’s rather ugly face, that big silver-blue tail would have looked quite eye-catching.
“Mermaid?”
Byron had never seen a mermaid before, and when he saw that tail, he immediately went up to it, looking like if it wasn’t for the fact that the other party was a mermaid brought by Saul, I’m afraid that the next second he would have wanted to pull off a layer of scales to study it first.
But when he came closer, Fluke slapped on Byron’s forehead and disliked the person back.
Byron was stunned, and only then did he realize that the mermaid in front of him was emitting second-order magical fluctuations, “A second-order sorcerer?”
“Whatever you think.” Fluke replied casually.
The mermaid’s body was just barely of the first order. The soul inside, Kate, was a solid second-order sorcerer.
And Floco, who had temporarily utilized the mermaid bloodline to snatch the control of the body, had even been a fifth-order existence. Even now, in his water sprite form, he was still considered a powerful individual close to the fourth rank.
“Instead of studying my strength, you should worry more about yourself.” Floco turned around with a flick of his tail and turned to Saul across the table, “He has already begun to show elfinized traits, if it was in my time, this would still be a good thing, but in the present …… being targeted by an elf can be very dangerous.”
Saul listened and casually conjured a chair to sit across from Byron, and also took the large water tank that moistened the mermaid’s body out of storage.
“Please elaborate.”
Floco had long felt that this body lacked moisture, and without ceremony, leapt straight into the tank with a twist of his body.
The splash was very small, as if only a small stone had been thrown in.
After barely turning around twice in the small water tank, Floco was able to stick his head out from underwater.
“Let me start by telling you about the origins of elves, the part I know, of course.”
Hearing that the mermaid in front of him even knew about the origins of elves, Byron no longer dared to look at him as an experimental material, and hurriedly sat upright as if he were in a class. “Elves are a genderless race. Unlike our Green Scale Race, they are not born through a bisexual union either, but are souls born from the Well of Life. The spring water in the Well of Life mixes with different fruits or seeds to evolve into the body of an elf.”
There were no such lifeforms in the wizard world now, and Saul and Byron looked at each other without interjecting.
“Elves in those days were nearly ageless at birth. They grew rapidly and then would stabilize when their bodies were in the best shape. If they did die one day, they would return to the Well of Life.”
“But since the emergence of the Abyss, the Black Tide has greatly affected the water-attribute Well of Life, the Well of Life has been polluted, and the Elven Spring Water that was once spread all over the world has disappeared little by little. The elves who were extremely dependent on the elf spring water also began to die in large numbers for various unknown reasons.”
The Black Tide contamination had the greatest impact on spiritual power, and it was only natural that elves became the first victims after the appearance of the Abyss.
“Seeing that the elf clan was about to perish, and the world was forbidden from advancing to the fifth rank, after the high-ranking elves were dead and wounded, the new king that the elf clan had temporarily introduced made a decision that was unexpected by everyone.”
This Saul knew, “Give up the physical body and exist in a pure spiritual body?”
Floco nodded, his tail slowly paddling in the tank.
Apparently he had a much better handle on this body than Kate did.
“They want to divest themselves of their mental bodies and leave this world, not realizing that giving up their physical bodies without reaching the fifth rank is very dangerous. It’s like a shellfish in the sea, shedding its shell and leaving only a tender piece of meat that anyone would want to eat.”
At this moment, Byron interjected, “But as far as I know, right now the elf’s soul body seems to be trapped in one place.”
“The place you’re talking about should be the World Wall.” Floco said, “The elves want to leave the world, but they don’t know that the world consciousness that has long been hungry won’t even let go of such a big piece of meat. In the end, it was the elves who were trapped in the world wall and became the sustenance of this world.”
Sol: “What is the world consciousness? Is it also an individual with an independent consciousness like us?”
“That’s probably something that can only be truly explained by an existence of the sixth order or higher.” Floco joked, “But even if there really is a Sixth Order to explain it to us, I guess we won’t understand. You guys can first generalize it as the desire for survival that belongs to this world.”
Saying this, Floco beckoned to Byron.
Without hesitation, Byron immediately stepped forward and walked over to the water tank.
Floco immediately cupped Byron’s face and scrutinized it up close for a while.
If you didn’t look at the face that didn’t fit Thor’s aesthetic, and the upper body that didn’t fit human aesthetics, the tail picture alone was still aesthetically pleasing.
Finally, Floco let go of Byron and sighed softly, “You have now begun to transform into an elf, but because you yourself are not an elf, and there is still elf spring water in your body to help stabilize your spiritual body, so you can survive intact until now.”
Byron’s face remained unchanged, clearly having guessed his physical condition.
Sol, however, stood up from his chair, “Do you mean there is still danger to follow? Do we have a way to protect against it?”
The Elf King’s head was given to Byron by Saul. If it was someone else, Saul definitely wouldn’t have cared if the head would subsequently bring any trouble. Without this head, the beneficiary wouldn’t be able to live now anyway.
But the other party was Byron, the one who had given Saul the most just help during his most difficult time.
Now this justice had turned into the strongest friendship between the two, so Saul was very concerned about Byron’s physical and mental body condition!
Fluke stroked his sharp chin, “This is also the first time I’ve encountered this situation, and there’s no way to give you a clear solution. Everything needs to be felt out slowly. However, his situation is both a danger and an opportunity.”
“One slip-up and he could be pulled into the world wall by the elf’s consciousness and be trapped there forever until he becomes a chaotic mass of energy. However, if he can connect with the elf spirit body and not be pulled away by the other party, then he can have the nearly inexhaustible spiritual power of all elves in the future!”
Sorry, went out to play in the snow this morning
