Chapter 319 Agreement Reached
Golsa revealed his cards.
He finally revealed the real reason he was interested in Saul.
However, his revelation made Saul's hands and feet go cold.
For a moment, Saul even recalled the rough texture of the black leather on the morgue conveyor belt.
He swallowed, his heartbeat, which had almost stopped from shock, slowly recovered.
"It's not necessarily the worst outcome yet.
If the mentor really wanted to dissect me, there's no need to wait until now, let alone tell me now."
Saul tried to comfort himself, to calm himself down, "In this world, astral projection and possession are not rare events.
I'm just special in that I can ignore the body's rejection, but if this matter is brought up, I can actually put it on the table and study it together with the mentor."
Saul's brain was working at high speed, and in the shortest possible time, he had decided on his next course of action.
"I, I didn't mean to, I was in this body when I woke up."
Saul did not deny it.
Denying it when the fact has already been discovered would make Golsa look down on him.
It's better to admit it in a panicked tone, admitting some things that are not very important first.
"I also don't know why I was able to survive.
I wasn't a wizard before, just an ordinary person.
I didn't even know about wizards.
I came from a small town..."
Golsa waved his hand casually, "Heh, no need to say these things, I don't care about your past.
I confirmed that you were not a wizard the first day I met you.
Although your mental strength talent is strong, it is like an uncut jade that has not been developed.
Since you are not a wizard, even if you were a king, it would make no difference to me."
He stretched out his index finger and gently touched his brow, "I even suspect that the special nature of your soul does not lie in yourself, but in the impact this experience had on you after you left your original body and entered this body, which was also an ordinary person.
Or it could be called a kind of alienation that brings positive feedback."
Saul opened his mouth slightly.
He hadn't thought about this question before.
He had no impression of his death in his previous life or his possession in this life, and he had not carefully considered why he had such a strong mental strength talent.
In his previous life, transmigration and rebirth were not new words, and they were mentioned in countless novels.
However, most novels just treat it as an opening remark, and no one delves into its principles.
As for the improvement of mental strength talent, Saul simply attributed it to the soul enhancement brought about by traveling through the world.
But he had never considered how it was specifically enhanced.
This matter was too far away for him.
Without the strength of a fourth-order wizard or above, how could he solve the mystery of traveling through the world?
But today, after being reminded by his mentor Golsa, Saul suddenly realized that he had made the mistake of being a person in the know.
In a world with many high-level powers, transmigration may not be uncommon.
The only thing special about him is that he comes from a world with different underlying rules.
This world is too different from the wizarding world, and wanting to go home may no longer be a problem that can be solved by simple space travel.
Golsa did not disturb Saul's thoughts.
He knew that the other party had secrets, but at present, he only cared about the reason for the special nature of his soul.
"I don't remember the experiences during this period."
Saul tried hard to recall the transition period between his previous life and this life, but he couldn't remember anything.
He didn't know how he died, nor did he know how he lived.
He closed his eyes and opened them again, and he woke up in this body that hadn't cooled down yet.
"Of course, your original identity was neither a wizard nor a person with extraordinary power.
Being able to survive in someone else's body is more likely a matter of probability.
Your amnesia should be the self-protection of your consciousness."
Golsa shook his head with a chuckle, "If we want to study the special nature of your soul, we can still use many gentle experimental methods.
But if we want to trace the source of your special nature, that period of history hides high-level knowledge... I'm afraid your consciousness can't bear it."
"Are you saying that if I study the experience before I came to this body, it may cause harmful shocks to me?"
"That's right, whether you come from a distant place or another world, the reason and experience of your soul traveling through space are knowledge that you cannot bear.
Even if I want to explore it, there will be great danger."
Golsa narrowed his eyes, "But Saul, if the resurrection experiment still cannot be completed before I completely give up, I may have to risk studying this dangerous knowledge."
His meaning was very clear: if he personally explored Saul's history, it would likely cause irreversible harm to Saul, or even deadly pollution.
Either complete the resurrection experiment that several mentors have been unable to complete for many years within 10 years; or find out the special nature of his soul and copy it onto Yula's spirit body; or become an experimental subject and endure the extremely dangerous research of others.
"I may not even have 10 years.
The mentor will not choose to study my transmigration process at the last moment.
His research also takes time.
I may only have 5 years, or even 3 years..."
Although Golsa didn't say it explicitly, Saul knew that as a wizard, he must always maintain a sense of urgency and vigilance.
Faced with such an urgent future and an unavoidable fate, Saul did not feel resentment.
The moment he decided to become a wizard, he already knew that screening and elimination were the main themes of the Wizard Tower.
At least Golsa gave him a chance to prove himself.
"I understand, Mentor."
Saul raised his head, his eyes filled with aroused fighting spirit, "I will do my best to assist you in completing the resurrection experiment."
Golsa's eyes curved again, "Very good.
I also promise that during your experiment, I will let all the mentors fully cooperate with you.
If you can complete the experiment, or make a greater contribution to the resurrection experiment, I will protect your consciousness, not investigate your past, and not reveal your secrets.
This is an equal exchange... Hehe, although you can't refuse."
Saul also smiled, "No reward, Mentor?"
Golsa raised his hand again and knocked on the wall beside him, "I said the reward at the beginning.
If you don't die, this Wizard Tower will be yours."
So that's what he was waiting for!
A Wizard Tower...
Saul also stroked the stone wall beside him.
For him, who has no family or power background, it is really attractive!
The agreement is reached!
Although dropping his mask was a foregone conclusion, Saul was still very curious about how Golsa discovered that he was a transmigrator.
If another powerful second-order wizard came, would they be able to see that his soul consciousness was not original?
He had been close to Kira before, did the other party see through his identity?
What about Keithmet?
Did he already know?
If one day, he met a second-order wizard who had nothing to do with him, would he be directly dragged onto the experimental table by the latter?
"Mentor... When did you discover that my soul was not from this body?
Can other people easily see it?"
"I discovered it the first day you appeared."
Golsa's tone was still gentle, but it sounded chilly.
Like the wind in early spring, it is warm at first, but in fact, it is still cold to the bone.
"The... first day?"
"At that time, I was on night patrol and suddenly saw a boy with a big wound on his head walking in the West Tower in a daze."
"That's you, Saul.
At that time, you should have just entered this body, and your body and soul had not fully synchronized.
Heh, I could see your spirit body leaking out of your body from time to time."
Golsa's voice was smiling, as if he could still recall Saul's helplessness and embarrassment when he had just transmigrated.
