Saul hadn't expected that Byron's rare opportunity for a long trip would be killed by him just like that.
After discovering the elf spring water on Saul, Byron imdiately asked for it.
Saul didn't waste words and directly handed the spring water to Byron.
He believed Byron's current understanding of elves was definitely more than his own.
Those dangerous precautions didn't need to be explained one by one.
Then Saul had Hope arrange food and lodging for Keli, while he himself went up to the laboratory on the fifth floor.
After entering the laboratory, Saul imdiately began examining the Symphony of Fate formation he had designed.
After observing for a while, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Currently, the entire formation is operating smoothly, and the connection with Shaya hasn't weakened due to increased distance. The signal is very stable."
Saul took out paper and pen and recorded the entire process of this experint and the problems encountered along the way.
This ti he specifically organized a dedicated notebook. If his Symphony of Fate could completely pry open the door to fourth-rank advancent, he would use this as basis and foundation to continue advancing toward fifth and sixth rank.
The accidental trip to the Prismatic World last ti had greatly touched Saul.
Those star-shaped eyes said they could be first-rank or sixth-rank
Strength could be freely transford.
But the essence of all this was having stable sixth-rank power.
Saul still didn't understand what sixth-rank ant. He currently only knew that fifth-rank seed to allow traversing different worlds.
But now the path to fifth-rank was completely hidden, and existing fourth-rank wizards were all struggling to find advancent thods.
Only Saul, as soone who also possessed clear fate line abilities, could walk a special advancent path.
His experience and a bit of intuition told him that as long as he continued exploring along fate lines, he could also beco sixth-rank like the star-shaped eyes in the Prismatic World!
However, Saul was still in the initial stage. The overall strategy could be set at sixth-rank, but actual implentation could only aim for fourth-rank.
He took out the Dead Wizard's Diary, spread it on the table, and turned to the page where Bethstana was located. The previous page was exactly the black page ford by combining the partial souls left by Nerela and Pei'er, who had once pretended to be wind sprites.
Saul very much wanted to communicate with the consciousness of the Prismatic World again to better verify his advancent ideas.
Now, since Pei'er in this world hadn't been able to contact Pei'er in the distant Prismatic World, he could only think of other ways to understand the power of fate lines more deeply.
It would be even better if Bethstana's information could help him contact the Prismatic World through Pei'er.
"Now you can continue."
[Very well. The Inverted Tree is a wood-attribute demonic creature, but its application of fate lines is the most thorough I've ever seen. Of course, now the most powerful user of fate lines I've seen is you, Wizard Saul.]
Speaking of this, Bethstana was sowhat puzzled.
[Also, this book of yours can actually completely preserve my consciousness, even the extremism caused by the Inverted Tree's pollution has been completely removed... I can't believe a third-rank wizard could possess such a powerful magical tool. No matter how you look at this book, it's at least fourth-rank in value.]
Saul thought: The diary's special features don't stop there. If I let you see the golden pages that can preview the future, the diary that can judge changes in storm eyes and anchor points, it should be at least fifth-rank.
He cleared his throat. "You don't need to worry about these things. Currently, you just need to know I need knowledge related to fate lines."
[Understood. Actually, during the period when I was combined with the Inverted Tree...]
Saul quietly listened to Bethstana describe the power and perceptions she gained within the Inverted Tree, which indeed had parts closely related to fate lines.
For example, people controlled by the Inverted Tree had their fate lines pulled out from their bodies by the tree, which then influenced them. This made them appear like normal people most of the ti.
But if the Inverted Tree needed them, it could manipulate them to act according to the tree's will.
At the sa ti, if the Inverted Tree needed souls, these people would transform from puppets into nourishnt for the tree.
The city-wide sacrifice Bethstana had launched was the complete developnt of the latter ability, pushing it to the limit regardless of consequences.
Saul suddenly beca curious. "I rember in the tree heart space, you told the Wishing Candle was sothing you snatched from Shaya. And your later negativity should also have been caused by the Wishing Candle's curse. What wish did you make at that ti?"
[I naturally hoped I could successfully resurrect.]
[But perhaps I used it incorrectly, making a wish too difficult to fulfill. Although the Wishing Candle produced a bottle of liquid, I still couldn't complete resurrection through that liquid. Instead, I fell into despair, which is why after discovering you entered the tree heart space, I was single-mindedly thinking about mutual destruction with you.]
[If you hadn't suddenly ntioned there was another path to choose, I, controlled by despair at that ti, would definitely have attacked you.]
"Liquid? What kind of liquid?"
[I don't know. The Wishing Candle doesn't tell information about items obtained through wishes. I used it directly without thinking at the ti. It did accelerate my fusion with the Inverted Tree, but also accelerated the pollution on . Heh, indeed, the Wishing Candle lives up to its reputation as a cursed object.]
"Are there many cursed objects in this world?"
[Very few. At least I know even many third-ranks haven't seen them. So I completely didn't expect that Shaya, a first-rank wizard, would have a Wishing Candle. One of the Wishing Candle's curse characteristics is that once soone asks about it, you must answer and explain.]
"No wonder when I asked you what that was, you imdiately answered . This characteristic is really..." Saul chuckled coldly. "Designed to incite conflict among people."
No wonder Shaya had been so nervous before. No matter who possessed this item, once discovered and asked about, they would have to reveal the Wishing Candle's existence.
And he was only first-rank—anyone who ca to steal it could beat him.
After a mont, Bethstana suddenly realized sothing.
[Is my information... not very useful to you?]
Saul shook his head. "Not necessarily. I'm very interested in the Inverted Tree's thod of stripping fate lines. It's just that what I need more now is how to connect with other people's fate lines."
Saul curled his fingers and knocked on another black page with his knuckles.
"For example, I currently possess part of soone's soul and her fate lines, but no matter how hard I try, I can't connect her with another part of her spirit body that's far away in another world."
[How do you want to connect them? Fuse the soul here with the soul there? That would probably require going to another world, or having the soul from the other world co here. The barrier between worlds is a problem that troubles fourth-rank wizards—it's not sothing we can solve now.]
"I don't need complete fusion for now, but at least the two should be able to communicate."
[If that's the case, it would require at least fourth-rank wizard power. Only they might be able to knock on the world barrier a little and send information out.]
Saul was thinking—if he had to ask a fourth-rank wizard for help, what price could he currently offer that would move which one?
Or rather, which fourth-rank wizard would be safer and wouldn't suddenly sabotage him midway?
At this ti, Pei'er, who had been unwilling to speak, suddenly began writing white text.
[Go find that bastard Ophelia.]
Saul looked down. "Ophelia knew Pei'er would be sacrificed but still didn't reveal any information. Are you sure she'll help us?"
[Heh, that——]
[Miss Pei'er, please don't use profanity.]
On the sa black page, another type of handwriting appeared—that was Nerela's handwriting.
[Damn it! Don't call Pei'er, I'm not that stupid woman!]
Saul knocked on the page again. "Continue."
[Although Ophelia didn't think highly of the Stargate Project, she's also very interested in the outside world. This woman puts profit first. For her goals, she can throw away her dignity. If you just reveal a little information about the outside world to her, she'll definitely help you actively.]
"Very good." Saul nodded with satisfaction.
This way, Ophelia was indeed a good person to ask for help.
Powerful and intelligent, clear-headed and ruthless.
Such a wizard was very suitable to beco the second target of the Symphony of Fate!
As for how to bring her into the pentagram of fate lines, that would require Saul to plan carefully.
