Seeing Keli's very interested expression regarding Black Tide pollution, combined with the energy Byron had invested in this area, Saul made a decision.
"Black Tide pollution is a potential danger lurking beneath all our feet. Although I can now treat so people affected by pollution, if the Black Tide erupts on a large scale, even I would have difficulty escaping death. That's why Senior Byron and I have never given up on inertization experints."
Keli looked up from the nurous books.
After learning about the Borderland's history, she couldn't help but feel worried.
"My tal radiation also has so similarities with Black Tide radiation. I'll bring over all my insights and notes from these years. But can we really find a thod to handle Black Tide on a large scale? Didn't you speculate that the Black Tide might co from so higher-order existence? Might we be unable to resist from a power level perspective?"
Just like how wizard apprentices could never be opponents of true wizards.
"Regarding the Black Tide's source, that Abyssal Eye might be a thod from higher-rank wizards, but the Black Tide isn't completely unresistable. In fact, I know of a place where Black Tide pollution once erupted, but in the end, all the Black Tide was completely inertized into black powder, mixed into the earth. The even more terrifying anchor points there beca white bone beasts sleeping underground. And they also lost their ability to pollute us."
Byron looked thoughtful.
Keli stood up in amazent. "What place? Can I go see it?"
Saul took out his Chaos Realm Compass accordingly. "That's an unnad world side. My exploration of it is still limited—I currently just call it the Chaos Realm. As for what that place actually is, I'll take you both to see directly."
Seeing that both Keli and Byron were ready, Saul directly activated the compass.
After a bout of dizziness, Saul landed on the ground.
Byron beside him was fine. His spiritual body was powerful, and although he staggered after arriving, he quickly steadied himself.
As for Keli... she sat down hard on the ground.
Looking sideways at the two n beside her, Keli silently complained.
"Two freaks."
Only after the dizziness from world traversal disappeared did Keli grab Saul's clothes corner and stand up.
While patting the dust off her bottom, she heard Saul say, "The dust you're patting contains small amounts of black powder."
"Huh?" Keli quickly stopped patting and examined her palms.
Byron also imdiately crouched down, staring at the soil beneath his feet.
Knowing the two had started their research, Saul didn't disturb them and first walked to Noah's residence nearby.
Scanning with ntal power, the place was empty.
He found a letter written in common language in the room.
This letter was placed on a small box that looked like jade.
Saul opened the letter.
As expected, this letter was left by his little apprentice Noah.
The letter explained that Noah, using Saul's na, had led Scorpion's Boulder Tribe to absorb the few nearby tribes.
The newly rged tribe was renad the Black Tide Tribe.
Noah had used the magical tools Saul gave him to help create many implents. These tools were all used for the Black Tide Tribe's infrastructure, and people's lives gradually improved. Once survival beca easier, people had extra energy for other things.
Noah commanded these idle people to specifically enter the Black Death Desert to dig sand, while Noah would sift out the black powder inside and collect it to give to Saul.
The jade box below the letter contained the black powder Noah had collected during this period.
Noah also ntioned the white bone monsters in the letter.
It was said that people here had long had legends about white bone monsters, but they had never seen them with their own eyes.
When Saul appeared before everyone riding a white bone monster that day, these people, without Noah's prompting, had already determined that Saul was a god.
But Noah insisted they call Saul "Death Judge" to avoid causing Saul trouble later.
"Death Judge?" Saul's mouth twitched. "That sounds awful."
Regarding Noah's actions, Saul didn't interfere too much.
He rarely ca here, and his understanding of this place was already less than Noah's.
Moreover, it would be difficult for a wizard apprentice leading a group of ordinary people in a world with almost no magical power to cause any major trouble.
However, he could have them pay attention to collecting information about white bone monsters.
Saul currently had captured one and was studying it. But if he could get another one, he wouldn't mind having more.
Saul left a ssage for Noah and again left him so magic crystals.
Then he walked out of Noah's house and saw that Byron and Keli had actually dug a large hole in the ground outside the house.
He walked to the edge of the large hole, looking at Keli crouching at the bottom.
"No need to rush. I'll leave this Chaos Realm Compass for you both. You and Byron can take turns using it. But you can only co here once per month."
"Why?" Keli suddenly looked up.
"Is it because this place lacks magical power?" Byron had already discovered this world's biggest problem.
Saul nodded. "A world lacking magical power is also a challenge for our bodies that are accustod to magical power. When our strength isn't sufficient, staying here for long periods would also have many negative effects on us."
Saul took out the compass and threw it to Byron. "This compass has a one-day cooldown. Each ti you co here, it's best to return as soon as the cooldown period arrives. This will have the least impact on your bodies."
Right after Saul finished speaking, Byron actually jumped to the bottom of the hole like Keli.
Saul was astonished. "You?"
Byron's voice ca from the bottom of the hole.
"Ti is precious."
Saul didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "No, if you want to collect black powder, I have a ready-made box here."
"We're observing the soil quality and stratification here." This ti Keli responded.
"Alright." Saul stood up, crossing his arms. "I'm going to check on the bone lizard."
He left the two research fanatics behind and went underground to examine the white bone monster he had sealed.
Perhaps because Saul had hidden the anchor point on his body well this ti.
When he reached the underground sealing point, the white bone monster inside had no reaction at all, as if it were asleep.
Saul took another small section of bone from it, then resealed and reinforced this place.
Throughout the entire process, the white bone monster showed no reaction whatsoever.
A day later, Saul brought back the dust-covered Byron and Keli.
The three of them stayed in the laboratory for another three days before coming out.
After that, Saul finally had ti to listen to Steward Hope's report on the wizard tower's new situation and et several newly joined wizards and wizard apprentices.
These people were eting Saul for the first ti. Each one was silent as if intimidated, trembling nervously.
Saul even discovered that one apprentice hadn't breathed the entire ti—he wondered if the person would faint from oxygen deprivation after going out.
After eting these people and listening to the steward's report on recent situations, Saul nodded with satisfaction.
He didn't have ti to manage these trivial matters and could only leave everything to the steward. Fortunately, the steward was already accustod to these affairs.
However, at the end, when Saul asked the steward if he needed him to do anything, Hope hesitated for a mont before saying, "Tower Master, currently our wizard tower's area and height are limited. These new people are all living in the mushroom forest outside. However, so matters require their handling, which is still quite inconvenient. Do you think we could expand the Purity Wizard Tower?"
"Indeed." Saul sighed sowhat.
When this wizard tower was built, he only had a group of spirit bodies around him—not even one living person.
He hadn't expected that in just two years, a city had already been established beside the wizard tower.
He raised his hand to caress the wall beside him.
"I'll communicate with them tonight."
