Chapter 328 Advanced Magic Array
Dusk, mountains and forests, a lakeside cabin.
Sol had already closed the door to the darkroom and restored the hidden magic circle above it.
He was now sitting on the only wooden bed on the second floor of the wooden house, carefully examining the witchcraft magic circle he had just transcribed.
And to Sol's left, the notebook recording the original soul extraction magic circle was spread open.
"Why is there such a magic circle here?" Sol was certain that this new soul extraction magic circle had undergone very clever improvements.
Now, it can not only extract and create wraiths of ordinary people, but even extract the spiritual bodies of wizard apprentices.
"If wraiths are created according to this magic circle, and the materials are suitable, it can even stably create evil spirits. My initial guess was wrong. I thought it was some frustrated exiled apprentice who was unwilling to stay near the wizard tower and continue living. But now it seems that this is clearly a stronghold for someone, or even some force. Hiss…"
Sol stood up, he heard movement outside, immediately went downstairs, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the mushroom coachman returning, holding a scroll, ready to come in.
Seeing Sol, the coachman immediately said, "Sir, I have brought the agreement."
Sol took the scroll, unfolded it, and saw that it did not leave any of his own information. Even the Traveler's Home did not put his name on the scroll, only saying that the holder of the scroll was the long-term tenant of this house.
Secular agreements naturally have no binding effect on wizards. The Traveler's Home obviously knows this and will not verify the wizard's identity at all.
And wizards who are not short of money basically pay rent for at least ten years. After ten years, if the wizard renting the house is still there, then they will send someone to renew or terminate the contract.
Sol looked at the agreement, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the coachman, "Go to town and find a place to live. Come and deliver food once every three days."
The mushroom coachman raised his head and said cautiously, "Sir, I can live in the carriage, so if you have any instructions, you can call me immediately."
But Sol firmly shook his head, "No need, it's easy to accidentally injure you when I do experiments here."
The coachman didn't say anything more, nodded neatly, and seeing that Sol had no further requirements, he took his leave and drove away.
What Sol didn't know was that he didn't live in the Forward Outpost Town, but lived in the uninhabited mountains and forests one mile away from the town.
He also planted a few white mushrooms nearby.
Although he was originally just an ordinary person, after several trips to the Black Fort Forest, he has gradually moved beyond the scope of ordinary people under the influence of witchcraft power.
Sol held the scroll in his hand, walked into the room, and casually threw it into the corner of the room.
Just for a moment, he wanted to leave, or rather, run away. This abandoned lakeside cabin might still hide a lot of trouble.
But after seeing the scroll, Sol changed his mind again.
He knew that the magic circle hidden in the lakeside cabin was an upgraded version of the Mill Sail Town's magic circle. And this magic circle was obtained by Sherry, a wandering wizard apprentice from Mill Sail Town, a few years ago.
After that, Sherry began to frantically use living young girls to create wraiths, trying to use this to advance.
But this was obviously someone deceiving him.
Sol suspected that the person who deceived Sherry was the creator of this magic circle. And he told Sherry that the magic circle could help him advance to a second-level apprentice, probably just to use Sherry to test the effectiveness of his magic circle.
Sol took out the improved version of the soul extraction magic circle again, "The mastermind should have discovered the flaws in the magic circle through Sherry's experiments and made changes. But one thing is very strange, although this improved magic circle can already extract the souls of wizard apprentices, the materials consumed are not cost-effective at all, not as good as the original soul extraction magic circle."
"Could it be that the creator abandoned it here because the input value of the improved magic circle exceeded the output?"
Regardless of whether the creator of this magic circle really abandoned it or pretended to abandon it, Sol was prepared to pretend that he hadn't discovered anything and see if anyone would secretly come back to retrieve it.
So, for the next two days, Sol did not immediately start his experiments, but let Little Algae re-establish a branch at the lakeside cabin.
At the same time, he also arranged defensive witchcraft magic circles, making it look like he was going to be stationed here for a long time.
In addition, during Little Algae's exploration of the underground, it plunged into the nearby small lake. This lake seemed to be connected to some underground waterway, looking shallow, but actually deep.
And Little Algae brought out several corpses from the deepest part of the lake, including even two sets of wizard apprentices' remains.
This also confirmed that someone had used the magic circle in the lakeside cabin to conduct experiments on extracting the souls of wizard apprentices.
Simultaneous with Little Algae's expansion of territory was Sol's own experiment.
He re-arranged the consciousness platform magic circle in the largest room on the second floor of the cabin.
After two days of modification, this new laboratory already had a set of tables and chairs, and several cabinets placed against the wall.
Some of these things were purchased by Sol through the mushroom coachman in town, and some were made by him on the spot, and then assembled by Little Algae.
Now, the consciousness platform's magic circle has been built and can begin new experiments.
Sol stood in the center of the magic circle, took out a bottle of reagent, "This is the last batch of Mo Sheng fruit extract. If a new source of Mo Sheng fruit or a substitute cannot be found, the research on the 'Consciousness Battlefield' will have to be temporarily suspended."
Sol tilted his head and swallowed the potion.
Within the consciousness space, the endless black starry sky still surrounded the huge circular platform.
Four consciousness bodies flew out of the diary in Sol's hand one by one, landed in front of him, and bowed in unison.
"Master!" * 4
Then the four people showed four different saluting postures…
Sol, whose emotional fluctuations had been suppressed to the extreme, expressionlessly allowed them to salute, "After this time, the consciousness platform magic circle may not be able to be opened for a long time."
The four consciousness bodies showed four different expressions on their faces.
Sol ignored their feelings, his cold eyes swept over the four, "So this time, I will try to take one of you out."
"Take out?" Agu's heart stirred, "Does the master already have a plan?"
Sol turned to stare at Agu, "No, only an immature idea. And the potion in my hand has been used up, so whoever is taken out by me this time must be prepared to never return, and those who stay behind will not be able to enter the consciousness platform for a long time."
The platform immediately fell silent, and all the originally eager thoughts became honest.
Just as Sol was pondering who to take away, one person took the initiative to stand out.
Herman took a step forward, "Master, if this time is a trial experiment, I suggest you take me. That way, if anything unexpected happens during the experiment, the loss to you will be the smallest."
As soon as these words came out, Sol and the others looked at him in surprise.
Herman was a little nervous. He understood that standing out now was equivalent to being an experimental subject in the initial stage of an experiment.
The risk is quite high!
But he had no choice.
Although Sol had never said anything, he knew that his survival was purely accidental.
The main reason Sol kept them was to treat them as a knowledge reserve. Maybe the master will have other plans in the future, but for now, Herman is the most useless one.
Agu used to be the librarian of the wizard tower, and this identity alone meant a lot of knowledge.
And Morton was a second-level wizard a hundred years ago. Even if his power is greatly reduced now, the knowledge a second-level wizard possesses is beyond Herman's imagination.
Ann, who originally had no sense of existence, has gradually awakened after merging with the evil spirit's consciousness. Compared to her, Sol still wants to continue to dig out secrets from her in the future.
As for Herman himself, he neither majored in the dark attribute, nor was he just a third-level wizard apprentice. Even the only secret he knew about land-based boats had been told to the master.
His only remaining value now is to contribute to the master's "Consciousness Battlefield" construction.
Experiments are indeed dangerous, but danger contains opportunities.
If he can seize this opportunity…
Herman met Sol's gaze, "Master, I will carry out all your will, and I will not retreat half a step even if my consciousness is consumed!"
There's more tonight
