Chapter 824 – Soul Stabilizing Needle
Chapter 824 Soul Stabilizing Needle
After listening to Xander’s description of the Soul Stabilizing Needle, Saul’s first reaction was disbelief before the emotions of amazement came flooding back.
“You …… can possess such a powerful sorcery prop?”
Saul had never heard of the Soul Fixing Needle. But that didn’t stop him from being clear about how powerful this sorcery prop was.
In the sorcerer world, the number one cause of death with the highest lethality rate was war, and the second highest was pollution!
Pollution from various causes affected the physical and spiritual bodies of sorcerers.
Some sorcerers may suffer from pollution and die alienated in pain.
There are also sorcerers who react to nothing and suddenly undergo alienation, turning directly into monsters, killing others, or being killed by others.
And sometimes contamination alienation is more dangerous than death.
Because for high level sorcerers, death can still be resurrected, and alienation is …… really alienated.
If one could have the Soul Fixing Needle that Xander had mentioned, then the sorcerer would be equivalent to having a second life.
But how could such a thing fall into the hands of an ordinary person like Xander?
It was not yet the same as the Chaotic Domain Compass, the Chaotic Domain Compass had almost no abnormality when there were no key props, and would only be treated as an ancient pocket watch with collector’s value.
However, Xander knew precisely the function of the Soul Fixing Needle.
Looking at Saul’s skeptical gaze, Xander swallowed rather stressfully, “Actually, this prop is not in my hands right now.”
Oh, pie in the sky!
Trusting that Xander wouldn’t dare trick him, Saul clasped his hands to his chest and waited for Xander’s next explanation.
“I actually knew about the Soul Stapler when I was a child. But at that time I didn’t know its power or name. My father just told me that if it came to a critical moment when the family could not continue, I could use this Soul Fixing Needle to fight for a ray of hope.”
“This secret can only be known by the eldest son of the direct line of the royal family. Right now, the only person who knows, is me.”
“But currently the Soul Stabilizing Needle is not in your hands, right?” Sol asked.
“Yes. Many of the powerful sorcery props from the ancient times have a common characteristic, that is, until you know the correct way to use it, even if this sorcery prop is in front of you, you will probably just treat it as the same ordinary item.”
“There’s no need to say this, just tell me where the item is. I want to make sure that I have the Soul Stabilizing Needle before I can consider a deal afterward.”
Xander froze, his hands clenched together, knuckles pinched white.
Seeing Xander in this state, Saul knew that he was torn, afraid that Saul would give up on the deal with him once he got the Soul Stabilizing Needle, or even betray him outright.
But at the same time, Xander realized that there was no one else he could turn to.
He didn’t trust any of the wizards in the Court of Judgment.
And he couldn’t meet a single sorcerer outside of the ruling court.
Saul was the first “outsider” that Xander met after he was brought back to the Palace of Eternal Night.
A butterfly flew from Xander’s left eye to his right eye and disappeared behind the socket.
Xander looked up sharply, “Good! I’ll tell you where the Soul Staple is located, and at the same time, I’ll give you my life and the life of Mido’er as well!”
Xander stepped forward, attached himself to Sol’s ear, and said a few words in a very low voice.
Saul was stunned and looked at Xander, “How did it get there?”
Xander smiled bitterly, “Who made him the only person in the Nefret Continent who could resist the Lord of the Court of Judgment? Moreover, he didn’t know that thing was the Soul Stabilizing Needle, and only thought it was a treasure of money that we prepared to stay back. A person of his level naturally doesn’t look at our treasure and isn’t afraid of him swallowing it privately.”
Saul pondered for a moment and laughed softly, “It is indeed safe to put it there, but I still need to confirm that the thing you put in his place is the Soul Stabilizing Needle.”
“No problem.” Xander nodded, “I have a way I can get him to make a trip over here in the near future to get the soul-stabbing needle back. You can help revive Midori after you get the soul-stabbing needle.”
Xander’s sincerity was already very sufficient, practically telling Saul that he could get paid first and do the job later.
Of course, he had no other choice but to choose to believe Saul.
Saul was satisfied.
But to make sure the deal wasn’t subjective, he still had to add a layer of security. “Okay, I’ll help revive your sister, Midol, and as a deal, you’ll do your best to help me get the Soul Staple. If you agree, our deal is struck.”
Xander finally relaxed slightly and revealed a sincere smile, “Thank you, Lord Sol.”
“I’ll take the case first, and Mithril’s soul will remain in your body as it still helps you. I will take her away when I need her.”
Xander nodded briskly.
Since he had chosen to trust Saul and a deal had been struck, he didn’t want to appear hesitant so as not to cause displeasure to the other party.
“Also I need your blood.”
“No problem.”
“And the bloodline of the mermaid royal family, can you get it?”
The stock of the mermaid royal bloodline was very small, and Alfonso might not give it to Saul to operate the experiment.
Moreover, the experiments that Saul had done to resurrect Midol didn’t want the people of the Judgment Court to know about it.
Xander frowned and smiled bitterly, “That one I can’t access either …… That’s an important material for making a new royal family, and they’re also afraid that I’ll sabotage it.”
If they couldn’t get the bloodline of the mermaid royal family, some of Saul’s visions couldn’t be experimented on.
Saul held his chin and thought, “Should I steal it? Stealing is easy, but how can I get rid of my suspicion after stealing it? I still have to follow up with experiments?”
Xander didn’t know what Saul wanted with the mermaid royal bloodline, and thought it would be useful in resurrecting Midori, and was also racking his brain.
Finally, he came up with an option that he didn’t know if it was feasible.
“Lord Saul, have you seen a returning mermaid?”
“Seen one.”
“Returning mermaids are actually mermaids whose faint mermaid royal bloodline has awakened in their bodies. The bloodline in their bodies is meager, but if we can find a few more, we might be able to extract a sufficient portion of the mermaid royal bloodline.”
Speaking here, Xander’s heart hardened and he gritted his teeth, “I know of a returning mermaid with the thickest bloodline, it’s in this palace, in the deepest room!”
Xander needed an apparent heir to make sure he didn’t turn into a celebratory drink for the next emperor.
To do so, even if it meant sacrificing the mermaid princess who had endeared herself to him.
He doesn’t want to die, and he can’t.
As long as Mito’er became his heir, and there was someone to inherit the royal bloodline, he would be able to remove the shackles on his body and get rid of his identity as a puppet emperor.
If it worked properly, he could even return to the political center of the eternal night!
Saul saw a pair of eyes with hidden ambition on Xander’s face with a respectful expression.
But he didn’t say anything.
It was human nature to want to live, to want to live well.
Saul used the storage device to put away the box containing Midol’s bones, then said, “You stay here and get some rest. I’m going to take a look at that returning mermaid you mentioned.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the small but life-filled room.
Returning to the dimly lit palace outside, passing through three ornate doors and walking through two spacious palaces, Saul finally arrived at the last room.
He pushed open the door to the last room, and the first thing he saw was the opposite wall.
It wasn’t a wall, but a huge glass house filled with water.
A mermaid with a green tail was lying on the glass and staring at Sol.
The pearl-colored hair and pearl-colored eyes were like the most beautiful pearls in a shell.
“Even better looking than that mermaid called Coral.” Saul thought in his mind.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind himself, “Lord Saul, why are you here?”
Saul turned around and saw Alfonso who had just instantly come over.
