Actually, with Saul's status as a third-rank wizard, even the Emperor of the Evernight Empire should personally welco him.
But Saul wouldn't fuss over such things—after all, he might not necessarily respect the other party either.
Several ministers and nobles from Evernight stood respectfully around the periter, but without Saul's signal, they didn't dare approach.
Among the group were also several carefully selected beautiful won of various ages. While most wizards didn't care about appearance, there were still a few who indulged in beauty.
If they could catch soone's eye, that would an gaining a powerful backer!
Unfortunately, this ti Saul didn't even glance at them, directly stepping on the golden carpet and boarding the carriage heading to the Evernight Royal Palace.
Saul thought he would take a carriage to et whatever Emperor of Evernight. However, after the carriage brought him to the Evernight Royal Palace, he was directly arranged to stay in a magnificent, spacious palace.
All living necessities were provided—exquisite and expensive, as if Evernight's finest items had all been brought for Saul's use.
But unlike the generous material treatnt, after Saul entered this royal palace, no one paid attention to him.
It wasn't that no one paid attention—countless guards and maids stood outside his door, and with just one command from Saul, hundreds would serve him.
But the people who should have co to see Saul never appeared.
Like the Emperor of Evernight, or people from the Tribunal.
However, Saul wasn't anxious either. After all, they had invited him to solve the problem of rmaids being polluted by the black tide, and he had prepared to stay on Nephret Continent for half a year.
Worst case, he could develop this palace into a second laboratory.
Anyway, Saul's storage device carried large quantities of magical materials and experintal equipnt.
And if any ergency required his return, he trusted Byron and Keli could make the decision to create a fake Storm Eye.
With these preparations, Saul settled peacefully into this magnificent yet empty palace.
It wasn't until the evening of the third day that soone finally knocked on the palace door.
Saul didn't imdiately get up—he was contemplating who he could choose from Evernight as the third target for his Symphony of Fate.
Therefore, when the knocking sounded, Saul didn't respond imdiately.
The person outside was also very patient, waiting another five minutes before knocking a second ti.
"Please co in."
Saul put down his pen and paper. He hadn't yet determined his target.
He knew too little about Nephret. Aside from Tribunal Chief Frim, he had barely interacted with anyone else.
Through contact with the line-like beings calling themselves Death Demons in the Prismatic World, he knew his chosen targets should be brave souls who could face constantly fluctuating destinies, not strong individuals already standing at the world's peak.
So Frim wasn't a good choice.
"No rush, I still have plenty of ti to observe." Saul looked up just as soone pushed open the palace door from outside.
Standing outside was a third-rank wizard.
This third-rank wizard had inverted triangular eyes and slightly downturned mouth corners, looking like he had a very bad temper.
But when facing Saul, he still tried to show a polite smile.
Though this smile only pulled his downturned mouth corners to straight.
"Hello, Lord Saul."
Seeing a wizard of the sa rank, Saul didn't put on airs and stood up directly.
"Hello, and you are?"
The wizard with inverted triangular eyes then entered. "I am a court wizard of Evernight, Alfonso. I major in dark attribute elents."
"What a coincidence, so do I." Saul joked.
But the serious Alfonso clearly didn't think this was a joke.
"It's not a coincidence. We both major in dark attribute elents, which is why we're together today to research thods for solving black tide pollution."
Seeing the other's personality was as serious as his appearance, Saul shrugged indifferently. "Fine, then can we start on business now? After being here several days, I was starting to think you invited here to keep under house arrest!"
"The Chief did say not to let you wander around."
Alfonso actually directly revealed his superior's true intentions.
After hearing this, Saul threw his feather pen onto the table. "What, afraid I'll explore the Tribunal's secrets?"
This ti Alfonso didn't speak, clearly defaulting to agreent.
Since the other was so direct, Saul was too lazy for small talk. "Did you co today because we can start researching rmaids? I brought a rmaid here—wonder how it differs from your local ones."
Alfonso quietly waited for Saul to finish before nodding. "Your having a rmaid shows you have so understanding of this race. That's good."
Then he added, "But today we're not going to the rmaids first. We're going to see the Emperor of Evernight."
Saul was stunned.
During his days here, he hadn't seen the Emperor of the Evernight Empire and had thought the other party simply didn't plan to show up.
Although it didn't match the grand welcoming ceremony from the nobles, Saul originally had no interest in eting emperors anyway.
Unexpectedly, after waiting several days, he was going to et him after all.
"Could this emperor's identity be complicated? Is he a wizard like Senior Morden?"
"Please don't resist. I'll take you there directly."
Alfonso extended his left hand toward Saul, powerful magical energy surging in his palm.
Saul squinted—he actually felt spatial oscillations.
"Whoosh!"
Alfonso's left hand suddenly burst into black flas, which then exploded.
In that instant, Saul's vision blurred and he found the room before him had changed to another.
This room was equally exquisite and magnificent. The wallpaper patterns on the walls were woven from rare plant-based magical materials.
The floor tiles beneath his feet had dense patterns hiding magical formations of unknown purpose.
Not to ntion other decorations—everything seed to have deliberate wizard design touches.
Saul scanned the arrangents before him, thinking, This emperor is either a high-rank wizard or has so special identity.
But compared to this emperor's identity, Saul was now more interested in Wizard Alfonso.
After all, the other party had just demonstrated teleportation magic.
Any wizard who could master teleportation before fourth-rank, even incomplete teleportation, would have considerable developnt prospects.
Saul was moved, ‘Would this Alfonso be suitable as my third target?’
Seeing Saul lost in thought, Alfonso waited a mont before saying, "Lord Saul, the Emperor of Evernight is behind you."
Saul ca back to his senses and nodded to Alfonso.
Though he had just arrived, he had already noticed soone behind him. But since the other party had no magical fluctuations, he had assud it was a guard or similar role.
It seed this emperor wasn't a wizard and didn't even have magical tools.
Completely incompatible with the room they were in!
Saul, with his slightly piqued curiosity, turned around and was montarily stunned.
Upon seeing Saul's face, the Emperor of Evernight opened his mouth in surprise.
"Lord Saul?"
"Sander? How are you here?"
Sander appeared in the Blue Water Bay soul tide storyline and was taken away by Tribunal people after the protagonist left.
