Chapter 336 Armed Spirit
It's a pity that no matter whether Saul's guess is correct or not, this power cannot be applied to other consciousnesses at present.
But this gave Saul a new idea.
"From my current experimental results, the body will reject souls that do not belong to it. This rejection does not exist solely in a certain part, but throughout the body, in every inch of skin, in every bone. It's as if the memory of the original soul is engraved in the genes."
This part is a conjecture that Saul recorded in his previous notes.
However, this conjecture is not easy to verify, and even Mentor Golsa may not be able to explore the information at the gene level.
Besides, Saul can't even verify whether genes exist in this world.
He just named this underlying basic information existing in cells as genes according to his memories from his previous life.
However, although he cannot verify the principle of this conjecture, he can summarize the apparent information that the body can provide feedback on based on this conjecture.
"If I can measure the characteristics of the soul that a vessel can adapt to—let's call it soul parameters for now—can I cover the outside of the soul with a shell adjusted to the corresponding soul parameters, so that they can live stably in the vessel?"
It's like giving a key to an outsider to open the door.
As long as you figure out the shape of the lock and make the corresponding key, you can let other people enter the room.
This is Saul's experimental idea based on his own experience.
It's just that he is different from others.
Others make keys on the spot, but he has a master key in his hand.
This kind of experiment targeting both the soul and the vessel will definitely not be completed by Saul alone.
However, he still has an entire team behind him.
As long as the preliminary experimental design is submitted and approved by Mentor Golsa, he can apply for personnel and funding support.
Maybe other mentors will participate in his experimental project and listen to his dispatch and command…
It feels so good just thinking about it!
Saul calmed down and brought himself back to reality. All of this is just a guess now. He must have at least some preliminary experimental data to convince Mentor Golsa.
"There is still a very serious problem. I don't have any Moresound Fruits left. If I can't find any inventory or substitutes, I may not be able to enter the consciousness platform in a short time."
Thinking of this, Saul asked Penny: "Since you know about the consciousness battlefield, you should also know something about the consciousness platform, right? I am now lacking the key potion to stabilize emotions, the Moresound Fruit. Since you have a part of Penny's memory, do you know where else Moresound Fruits exist?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing Saul's question, Penny flapped her wings and flew up, until she was level with Saul's eyes.
Her voice was full of joy and a little smug, "Saul, brother, with me here, why do you need Moresound Fruit? Have you forgotten that I am best at controlling other people's consciousness and cognition?"
"Oh?" Saul raised his eyebrows, knowing that this was the second time the Nightmare Butterfly had shown its ability. He pretended not to believe it and said, "Didn't you say that you have lost most of your power? Didn't you say that you can no longer control other people's cognition? Why can you do it now? Are you lying to me?"
"No, no, no, Saul, brother, how dare I lie to you."
Penny's voice suddenly dropped eight degrees again.
"Aren't I restricted by your diary? Actually, a part of my ability is locked by the diary. But, um, as long as all of you, brother, relax the diary's restrictions on me a little bit, I can use a part of my ability, just a little bit."
Penny then said: "But don't relax too much, otherwise I'm afraid that all the past memories will come back, and I will die again!"
Is this begging Saul to continue to seal it?
Saul nodded knowingly, "I see. It's good if you're not lying to me. I can't tolerate my possessions deceiving me."
"No, I wouldn't dare."
"Then let's go back to the original topic. I relax the restriction on your ability, and you help me stabilize my emotions. How is this stabilization going to be carried out? How long will it last?"
Penny said somewhat timidly: "Just let you have a dream. As for the time limit, given my current situation, probably…ten minutes?"
She was worried that Saul would think it was too short.
But Saul nodded, "That's enough."
He currently only needs to be able to stably enter the consciousness platform to bring people out or replenish their energy.
This is the most urgent thing, and other experiments can be carried out later.
"Next, let's go to the lakeside cabin to take a look, and by the way, check if the owner behind that house has been caught. After that…"
Saul thought for a while, "Let's go to Blue Water Bay. The soul fragments I have stored are no longer sufficient, and I am also very interested in the soul tide phenomenon. Will the dead from a hundred years ago have surprises like Morton?"
…
Half a month later, Blue Water Bay.
Saul stood on the deck.
The wind is a bit strong today, and ordinary passengers are no longer allowed to stay on the open-air deck.
They are basically confined in specific crystal glass covers, cautiously stretching their necks, looking out at the sea of clouds outside the ship's side.
Yes, it is a sea of clouds, not blue waves.
The place where Saul is now is an airship.
The airship's power and buoyancy come from the propulsion magic circles at the bow and stern, and the huge balloon on top.
The propulsion magic circle is not uncommon. For example, the land-going sailing ship that Saul once captured had this kind of device. Some wizardry tools used by wizards for quick travel will also engrave such formations.
What is rare is the balloon on top.
That is a huge balloon made of leather inlaid with biological film. It does not rely on combustion to generate hot air to float, nor is it common hydrogen.
It is a special gas invented by wizards. This gas has a very low density and is also an inert gas, not easy to burn or explode. The only disadvantage at present is that it is expensive.
Therefore, people who can travel by airship are either rich or expensive. Even ordinary wandering wizards are reluctant to spend money to ride.
They would rather choose horse-drawn carriages, which are primitive, slow, but cheap.
Saul was able to ride this airship entirely because of his mentor Golsa.
This airship is produced by the Byton Academy located in the southwest of the Western Continent, and the balloon on the top is also their exclusive technology.
However, the people of Byton Academy will reserve a seat for Golsa on every airship, even if he doesn't ride it once a year, they will not sell the seat to others.
And Saul, holding Mentor Golsa's handwritten letter, can ride this airship for free, crossing half of the Western Continent.
It only takes three days to cross a month's journey.
At the same time, as a third-level wizard apprentice, he can also walk on the outer deck without worrying about the weather conditions outside.
Limited by energy consumption considerations, this airship is not very large. The most luxurious cabin is also very small, and coupled with those extra decorations inside, it appears even more cramped.
Therefore, whether it is day or night, Saul almost always stays on the deck, admiring the real wind and clouds. He would rather let the strong wind blow his cloak loudly than shrink back into the warm glass cover.
Such Saul was naturally noticed by interested people.
A middle-aged man in a neat blue and white uniform braved the strong wind, holding the fixed railing on the deck with one hand, and pressing his hat tightly with the other, slowly approaching Saul.
"Hello!" The man opened his mouth, trying not to be choked by the wind, "I am Harry, the captain of the Bluebird. I see you have been looking at the balloon on top. Are you interested in the gas inside?"
