Chapter 840 – Diary Cheating Reappears
Chapter 840 – Diary Cheating Method Reappears
The soul hidden in the black branch in Sol’s hand naturally belonged to Kate.
Kate’s life experience was sort of colorful.
Having been a human, a cat, a mermaid, and now a plant.
However, the black branch in Saul’s hand was actually the shell of a magical creature, and Kate was only staying in it temporarily to help the future real soul host adapt to the soul space within the branch.
To put it simply, it was warming the comforter.
And this blackish-looking, plainly styled branch that felt rough to the touch was not as ordinary as its appearance.
It was the bloodline that Saul had inherited by combining part of the small algae’s tentacles, the branch of the Black Sea tree, the branch of the inverted tree, the bloodline of the mermaid royal family, and most importantly, the descendant of the water god Frocko.
With the help of several Consciousness Bodies and Floco, Saul managed to fuse these rare yet high-level materials together in less than half a month’s time.
However, pure fusion definitely wouldn’t work.
When fusing, what to put in first and then what to put in, what grinding agent to use, and what method to use to grind, would all affect the final effect of the finished product.
And the materials in Saul’s hand could only be fused once. If it failed, it was basically impossible to strip out the materials inside through a reverse reaction.
Therefore, after many years, Saul once again used the cheating method from when he was still an apprentice.
Asking for a diary!
The current him was no longer the tiny apprentice who didn’t have enough knowledge reserves back then, who had an unstable mental body, and who didn’t know the principles of the diary even if he had successfully carried out a sorcerous body transformation using it.
So Saul didn’t have to worry that he wouldn’t be able to control the knowledge that he had experimented with using the diary.
He was just using the diary to reduce the cost.
The diary now could not only speculate on his death line, but also those of the people around him, so Saul was using the diary on the premise of allowing Kate’s soul to safely survive in the black branches of the tree.
After consuming a few pages, the final product that was obtained was very satisfying to Saul and Kate.
However, Kate didn’t expect to be satisfied for long before he began to suffer from Saul’s torment frequently.
Saul told Kate that the training was rotated in this way to help Kate better adapt to the plant’s body, while also maintaining the vitality of his mental body.
Lest the plant had been a plant for so long that it forgot what it was like to be an animal.
Kate was originally just going to say, I believe the hell out of you.
But over time, he realized that Saul’s physical shaking method did work, and really allowed his soul to maintain basic activity even inside the immobile plant.
“Don’t worry, you can’t spit it out now, not without that organ.”
Despite saying that, Saul placed the black branch on the tabletop to give Kate a reprieve.
He continued to look down at his book, maintaining this position until it was dusk before he got up.
Upon rising, Saul retrieved the twig Kate back into his cuffs and headed for the door.
He was going out for the evening.
The other day, Royer had sent a message asking Saul to go out tonight to pick a flower called the Moonlight Mane.
Moonlight Manny was a rare sorcery material that was a specialty of the Neverwinter Nights Empire. It could increase the success rate of blood-based sorcery and reduce the possibility of plasma clotting.
However, Moonlight Manny could not be grown artificially at the moment, and the main ingredient, the flower, would be inactivated within an hour after it was harvested, so every time this material was used, Royer would pick it up on an impromptu basis.
This time, in order to help Xander’s younger brother Harry reintegrate his bloodline, Royer purposely invited Saul to go pick Moonlight Manny together.
Therefore, as soon as today’s time arrived, Saul stopped his closed-door experiments, brought along Koho and Twig Kate, and left the temporary residence where he had stayed for nearly ten days.
But to Saul’s surprise, when he met up with Royer outside the side gate of the palace, Alfonso unexpectedly appeared here as well.
“What brings you here?” Saul looked at Alfonso and at Royer, having the illusion of being caught betraying someone else. Alfonso looked at the two grudgingly, “Have you all completely given up on treating mermaids?”
Saul had calmed down, “The research is indeed in a bottleneck now. The mode of transmission can’t be eliminated, and any further treatment is useless.”
Royer didn’t have the slightest embarrassment of being caught digging into someone’s corner, still smiling, “Alfonso, you’re not here to catch Saul back, are you?”
As a result, when he asked, Alfonso’s expression became even more depressed.
His voice was muffled as he said, “Lord Flim said that now that the Black Tide is coming, he asked me to cooperate with Royer to deal with the Red Sea Tree first.”
Royer’s face was filled with smugness, “Haha, it looks like the Court Lord also recognizes my proposal even more!”
Royer directly pulled Alfonso onto the carriage, “Let’s go then, it just so happens that we’re going to pick Moonlight Mane today, we can still pick some more with you around.”
Alfonso made a final struggle.
“Even though I’m going with you, I still think it would be a mistake to remake the entire population of mermaids again.”
Royer had long been accustomed to Alfonso’s stubborn and stereotypical nature, and upon hearing this, he didn’t debate with him, greeting Saul as he boarded the vehicle and then rushed to the teleportation array.
Moonlight Mannequin grows in the deep desert, where all kinds of horrible magical creatures inhabit, without a third-ranked sorcerer to lead the group, ordinary people don’t dare to get close at all.
To get there, one needed to first take the teleportation array to the outer layer of the desert, and later fly into the desert.
After leaving the Eternal Night King City, one could fly freely.
While Saul and his group were out taking advantage of the night, the Stewart sorcerer from Black Flame finally met his loyal Emperor Majesty again after nearly ten days.
Looking at Ai Luo who hadn’t changed much in his body, Stuart’s hanging heart finally let go.
“Have you reached any agreement with the Lord of the Ruling Court?” As Ai Luo’s closest vassal and friend, Stuart asked without avoidance.
Normally they should have departed to return to Black Flame after attending the Black Tide Council, but ever since the last time His Majesty Ai Luo and Court Master Frim got into a bit of a conflict, they had been stuck in Neverwinter Nights.
Emperor Ai Luo of Black Flame took large strides to the main seat of the palace and sat down, letting out a long sigh.
“Alas …… do you know what that Frim fellow is trying to do again?”
Stuart was calm, “The Lord of the Ruling Court, naturally, is someone who wants to do great things.”
Ai Luo glanced at him and spat out a sentence.
“He’s going to kill Golza.”
Stuart pranced up a step, “Is Neferet going to officially go to war with Iskepper?”
Golza was now the internalized fourth-ranked heir of the Glow family, killing Golza was basically starting a war with Glow.
Moreover, both the Stargate Council and the Court of Judgment had two fourth-order wizards on the surface, and they would never want to fall behind in the number of fourth-order wizards after the death of Glow’s patriarch.
If Courtier Flimsy wanted to kill Golza, it would be like officially starting a war with the Stargate Council!
Emperor Blackflame rubbed his forehead, just like an ordinary person.
Or rather he was the most like an ordinary person out of all the 4th rank wizards currently in the wizard world.
He even had a wife and child.
“Because he didn’t want to go to war with the Stargate, he asked me to cooperate with him and secretly kill Golza. At first his tone wasn’t very pleasant, so I got into a skirmish with him on the day of the council.”
Stuart wondered, “Why on earth was Court Master Frim obsessed with killing Gorsa? I remember you said that when Golza was still of the Second Order, the Lord of the Court of Frim signaled his men to find a way to finish him off in secret, right?”
Ai Luo was silent for a moment before he said, “Because Golza is preparing to …… travel to the Eye of the Abyss to explore after he is promoted to the Fourth Order.”
