Peiāer ultimately decided to trust Byron once for Saulās sake.
Seeing the trust crisis temporarily resolved, Saul continued: āOur scheme this time canāt be exactly the same as before.ā
Peiāer agreed with Saulās thinking. She swept her long hair behind her head, her gaze ice-cold. āOf course. Previously I wanted to buy time waiting for my own recovery to break free from Clarkās nightmare. But now⦠the Borderland is about to descend into complete chaos.ā
She looked down at her right palm. āI want to kill him!ā
If Ophelia was truly willing to go all out to help Peiāer, Saul believed Peiāer could definitely succeed in her revenge.
But Ophelia might not be willing to do so.
Through interrogating Nerela in the diary, Saul had already learned that Firefly Lord Herbert was backed by the Tribunal, while Dreammaker Clark likely also had the shadow of the Stargate Council behind him.
Nerela had only been willing to defect to Clark after learning this.
So if Peiāer wanted to kill Clark in return, she would most likely still have to rely on herself.
āIf you want to strike back, you need to create a time difference. Make him think heās about to devour you when actually youāve completely recovered, then use all your means to eliminate him.ā Saul raised his hand and pointed at Peiāerās right hand position. āIf youāre going to act personally, would your sister be willing to provide some assistance?ā
Peiāerās right hand immediately clenched tightly. She thought to herself:
āSince you want me to seize the anchor point, killing Clark, a potential future competitor, shouldnāt be a problem, right?ā
Her right hand transmitted weak feedback. Peiāer knew this meant Ophelia agreed.
However, the feedback carried slight hesitation, suggesting Ophelia would only help her covertly.
Just like how she hid within her own body, staying out of sight.
āIāll find a way for this,ā Peiāer told Saul.
Seeing Peiāerās expression, she seemed to have received some kind of promise, so Saul could relax a little.
Then, his expression became slightly grave. āThereās just one troublesome point. Killing also requires an opportunity. Clark has always been using nightmares remotely to try devouring you, but for you to murder him, you must lure him over. Otherwise, we might not be able to affect him in the nightmare.ā
Although Saul had already advanced to second-rank, he didnāt think his consciousness space could trap a third-rank wizard.
Especially since Clark was attempting to devour the Wind Sprite, which proved he was definitely a considerably powerful third-rank wizard.
If Peiāer couldnāt counter-kill him in one strike and let him escape, not only would future counterattacks be difficult, but theyād also have to guard against his constant revenge.
Saul, who was cooperating with Peiāer, might also face deadly backlash.
After all, Clark had already made moves against Saul.
Fake Wind Sprite Nerela had initially been following Clarkās orders, repeatedly testing Saulās power, and later developed killing intent toward him.
Clark had once wanted to seize Saulās Nightmare Butterfly, likely through murder and robbery.
He only refrained from acting against Saul after suddenly learning that Saulās mentor was Gorsa.
After all, the clan leader of the Glare Family that Gorsa belonged to was also a member of the Stargate Council.
Clark, who similarly relied on the Stargate Council, naturally didnāt want to tear relations apart publicly.
āAn opportunityā¦ā Saul pondered.
Peiāer was also looking for a suitable reason to lure Clark to their side.
Just then, a palm-sized little bird flew over listlessly from the distance.
It stopped outside the wizard tower and tapped Saulās window with its orange-red little beak.
āKnock knock knock!ā
Saul immediately recognized it as the little bird Ann used to communicate with him.
He hurried over to open the window, took out a small paper from the birdās plump feathered belly, then used magic to enlarge it and decrypt it.
This small paper immediately became a full page-sized sheet, densely covered with writing.
Saul quickly scanned the entire text, suddenly broke into a smile, and shook the letter in his hand. āIsnāt this exactly the opportunity we need?ā
Peiāer immediately stepped forward, pressing close to Saulās shoulder to read the letter together.
Then, surprise appeared on her face. āThey actually already discovered a suspected Storm Eye location⦠and itās near Rhine Lake?ā
Byron on the side, though he hadnāt seen the letterās contents, had heard Saul mention the Storm Eye before.
That was something the three third-rank wizards had sent large numbers of people to search for.
Seeing Byron approach, Saul handed him the letter.
After reading it, Byron actually knew the place mentioned in the letter as a possible Storm Eye location.
āOld Days Manor?ā
āYou know it too, Senior?ā
Byron nodded. āI passed by there when I came here, but instinct told me it was very dangerous, so I didnāt approach.ā
Saul nodded and turned to tell Peiāer, āThe rules of Old Days Manor have changed, making it quite a dangerous place. Itās about a dayās walk from Rhine Lake.ā
āIf we fly there, itās at most a few hours. Ha, it really is close to your place.ā
Light flowed in Peiāerās eyes, clearly already considering how to use this news against Clark.
Saul was thinking:
So close to my wizard tower, this doesnāt feel good. Could this be protagonistās aura?
Byron directly asked: āWhat do you need me to do?ā
Saul didnāt want Byron involved in this matter. He was about to speak when Peiāer suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the wizard towerās interior.
āWe need to discuss this matter properly. Just wait for news.ā
After saying this, she left Byron alone on the tower top.
This discussion lasted a day and a night.
The next morning, Peiāer slipped out through the fourth floor window of the wizard tower, transforming into a black shadow that disappeared directly into the horizon.
A few minutes later, at the request of the butler and others, Byron went up to the wizard towerās fourth floor and knocked on the door.
āPlease come in.ā
With permission, Byron pushed open the door and saw Saul sitting on the mushroom bed with a somewhat conflicted expression.
He unusually wasnāt wearing his black wizard robes, only a white loose shirt with a turned-down collar and dark gray linen trousers.
He looked like a hesitant noble youth.
Seeing this scene, Byron was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: āDo you need me to prepare a potion for you?ā
Saul was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and his face darkened. āNo need.ā
āMm.ā Byron seemed unsure what to say and prepared to leave, but after closing the door halfway, he opened it again. āThe other party is still a third-rank wizard after all, there might be radiation.ā
Saul: āā¦ā
He mentally rolled his eyes.
I still have a death wizard diary of unknown rank! Oh, and a bunch of stars that are particularly good at acting innocent and blinking! Who knows whoās polluting whom!
Without getting permission, Byron ultimately still silently closed the door.
Just as Byron left, Penny rushed out from the diary and circled around Saul.
āBrother Saul, Brother Saul, after that Wind Sprite suddenly said āI know what excuse to use to find youā yesterday, why did you suddenly shut me in the diary?ā
