Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 659: Stars

Saul raised his head from the complex calculation sketches.

It had been almost three months since receiving the Ice Lock formation design scroll.

The wizard tower also welcomed the first snow of winter in early December.

Because he liked watching snow scenes, Saul had the wizard tower transform an entire wall into floor-to-ceiling windows.

Whenever his brain became stiff from high-speed operation, Saul would look outside and space out for a while.

While spacing out, Saul saw two small black dots rapidly approaching Rhine Lake through the white snow.

“Jiajia Gu is here.” Saul quietly told Byron and slipped away.

Whenever Jiajia Gu brought someone over, Saul knew he had introduced another patient to him.

Jiajia Gu had been enthusiastically introducing patients to Saul lately.

Almost every month he would bring someone over.

Saul didn’t know how he managed to make so many true wizards willing to trust him.

After all, Saul’s treatment required using mental power to scan the patient and determine the pollution source’s location.

If the pollution source was well-hidden, Saul even needed to conduct experiments to find it.

This was equivalent to having a wizard entrust their safety to a stranger.

Not everyone had Jiajia Gu’s initial courage.

Although Saul was studying the selection problem given by the Stargate Council, occasionally coming out to help these wizards polluted by the same Black Tide could deepen his understanding of the Black Tide.

It also gave him a mental break.

He quickly used the giant bird Diu Diu to bring the two into the wizard tower, then Jiajia Gu followed Steward Hope to trade.

Saul led the patient to the third floor.

“May I ask your name?” Saul skillfully changed into a white wizard robe.

Recently, he had been intentionally using clothes to distinguish between his different work.

Reminding himself not to dissect the polluted patients on the experiment table.

“I’m Ed, Lord Saul.”

After changing into the white robe, the already young Saul appeared even more gentle and handsome, allowing the first-rank wizard lying on the experiment table to relax slightly.

Although Ed looked to be in his forties and had been an official wizard much longer than Saul, the strict hierarchy among wizards and the huge power gap between different ranks left Ed completely without the presence of an elder.

He lay on the cold, hard experiment table, trying to control his eyes not to wander, but the various bottles and jars around still attracted his attention.

These instruments also appeared in Ed’s laboratory, but when he was lying on the experiment table, his perception of these instruments was completely different.

Seeing the somewhat nervous Ed, Saul had no intention of mocking him. He used simple hypnosis to first put him in a relaxed state, then began a full-body examination.

Two hours later, Saul confirmed the pollution source in Ed’s body and performed preliminary cleansing.

After he properly stored the extracted pollution source, Ed had already gotten down from the experiment table, looking at his hands with surprise and joy.

Before treatment, his hands had been out of control for a long time. They often made strange movements and would even suddenly grab a silver knife to stab at his chest while he was experimenting.

If he hadn’t pre-cast defensive magic, he probably would have been seriously injured by his own hands.

Now, he finally felt these hands were back under his control.

“Thank you very much, Lord Saul. I can only provide these materials now, but I’ll make up the rest as soon as possible.”

Saul cleaned his hands while smiling, “There’s no rush.”

Ed thanked him again, and seeing Saul’s nonchalant attitude, he determined in his heart to definitely complete the remaining materials within a month.

After Ed came out of Saul’s wizard tower, he saw Jiajia Gu was already waiting for him outside.

“How was it? Dr. Saul is amazing, right?” Jiajia Gu looked proud as if he shared in the glory.

Ed nodded, and couldn’t help but have some doubts about the relationship between Jiajia Gu and Saul.

“Could Jiajia Gu actually be Wizard Saul’s person?” But just as he thought this, he saw Jiajia Gu grinning and rushing over, grabbing his hand.

“You also really admire Wizard Saul, don’t you?”

“Uh…” Ed was stunned. Although he was indeed very grateful to Saul, it wasn’t to the point of admiration.

However, since Jiajia Gu had asked so directly, and he was now standing under the man’s wizard tower.

“…Yes, I really admire Wizard Saul.” Ed nodded vigorously again.

“Haha, we all admire Wizard Saul, so we’re good friends now! When I sell you goods in the future, I won’t secretly mark up prices!”

Ed’s heart leaped with joy, then with alarm, “Then what you told me was half price before?”

“Sigh! Markup first then half price—anyway, it’s about the same as the original price.”

“Then you need to give me an even better deal in the future!”

“No problem.”

Saul had already returned to the third floor of the wizard tower, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the two discuss intimately.

After they left Rhine Lake, Saul used the Eye of Banishment to clearly see that an eye with seven-colored pupils had also grown on the back of Ed’s head.

“Not counting Brando and Jiajia Gu, this is already the third patient to grow an eye.” Saul’s expression was grave, without any of the contentment he’d had when seeing off the patient earlier.

“As long as people harbor some goodwill toward me, they’ll grow seven-colored eyes after contact with Jiajia Gu. But those who thank me on the surface but have no grateful emotions inside won’t grow eyes.”

“Do these eyes from the stars in my space require checking favorability ratings when spreading?”

However, until now, Saul hadn’t discovered that the star eyes caused any physical damage to the infected.

Not only that, people with star eyes were very difficult for the Black Tide to continue polluting.

Even if they still had pollution, it wouldn’t worsen unless they encountered more extreme situations.

Looking at it this way, people infected with star eyes were like having received a vaccine, gaining quite strong resistance to the disease-like Black Tide.

“However, although the star eyes come from my consciousness space, I currently have no control over them. Powerful forces that can’t be controlled by me are ultimately a hidden danger.”

Saul had previously discovered that those stars in his consciousness space were somewhat different. But since there was also an equally mysterious diary in his space, he hadn’t paid much attention to those stars he couldn’t control anyway.

But unlike the diary that never made contact with the outside world, now the stars had already come to the outside world through Brando, showing regular but almost irresistible infectiousness.

This made Saul unable to ignore their existence and the powerful force they contained any longer.

After thinking, Saul suddenly turned back and said to Byron, “Senior, I need to do an experiment.”

Byron was still busy with his experiment, asking without looking up, “What do you need me to do?”

“Help me watch my body. If my condition becomes abnormal… no, when my body deteriorates quite seriously, then stimulate my soul body from outside and try your best to wake me up.”

Byron put down the test tube in his hands, his expression serious, “What are you going to do?”

Saul pressed his lips together, not knowing if he felt nervous or excited.

“I’m going to meet a group of old friends who have always been by my side but whose true nature I still can’t figure out.”
