Ophelia, who had received no information from the Prismatic World at all, sighed.
But then she immediately asked, âYour connection to the Prismatic World this time wasnât completely without gains, was it?â
âNot at all. Entering the Prismatic World again, I feel my understanding of energy has become somewhat clearer.â
The communication with the Death Demon couldnât be revealed to Ophelia, but future connections to the Prismatic World could share some information with her.
After all, the other party had put in considerable effort to help him, and Saul couldnât let others work for nothing.
Besides, he still wanted to continue cooperating with Ophelia.
âWhen we experiment next timeâŠâ
âWhen you experiment next time, Iâm afraid Iâll still have no gains.â At some point, Ophelia in a sea-blue long dress slowly emerged from the mist.
Saul looked at her. This was the first time heâd seen Ophelia in normal human form during an experiment.
Her sudden appearance in formal attire definitely meant something had happened.
Saul proactively said, âNext time Iâll prioritize protecting Your Excellencyâs mental power. This should allow me to bring you into the Prismatic World together.â
Ophelia walked up to Saul. The neckline of her dress was very low, and though decorated with silver lace, through the openwork lace one could still vaguely see the snow-white skin beneath.
As pale as her neck.
She approached Saul until they were less than a meter apart.
âYou protect my mental power and bring me to that world?â
Saul frowned. âIâm not completely confident. But we can try.â
Ophelia gently shook her head. âEach connection to the Prismatic World means deepening ties with that side. Without knowing the other worldâs hierarchy, rashly deepening connections is also unwise. So we need to ensure as much as possible that I can smoothly enter the Prismatic World next time, rather than having my mental power erased.â
âDoes the City Master have other ideas?â Saul could tell Ophelia should have another proposal.
Ophelia smiled lightly. âDonât you already have a successful example by your side? We just need to replicate it.â
âSuccessful?â Saul realized who Ophelia was referring to. âYou mean Peiâer? But Iâm also unclear why Peiâer could survive in the Prismatic World.â
Ophelia suddenly stepped forward. She emanated a faint moisture.
âYou really donât know? Peiâer can survive in the Prismatic World because of you, isnât that right?â Her hand gently pressed against Saulâs chest. âClearly just an ordinary body, how could it have such a tenacious spiritual entity?â
Saulâs entire body stiffened. Just as he wanted to step back, he discovered he couldnât move at all.
âWhy were you unmoved by Onaâs repeated invitations?â
The polite smile on Saulâs face faded. âI donât like becoming experimental material on a lab table.â
Ophelia looked Saul up and down. âYouâve modified yourself so many times from head to toeâwhere arenât you experimental material?â
Saul paused. He had been quite ruthless with his wizard body modifications, but that didnât mean he could accept others treating him as material.
âPeiâerâs survival in the Prismatic World resulted from many factors. Why must Your Excellency Ophelia target me? Iâm the most inconspicuous link among them, arenât I?â
âWho said that?â Opheliaâs finger suddenly pierced into Saulâs chest. The skin around the wound immediately became semi-transparent gray, yet not a drop of blood flowed out. âWhether itâs me or the Stargate Council, weâve never provided Peiâer with guarantees for adapting to external worlds. Besides you, what other reason could there be for Peiâer to survive in the Prismatic World?â
Ophelia slowly withdrew her finger, watching the wound on Saulâs chest gradually close and return to smooth skin.
âIf you look down on OnaâŠâ Ophelia raised her head. She seemed to have intentionally adjusted her height so that when looking up, her lips could just touch Saulâs jaw. âI can do it too.â
Saul still couldnât move, but because of this, he could clearly feel the slight coolness of Opheliaâs breath brushing against his chin.
âIâm afraid of becoming a thick paste in Lady Opheliaâs vase.â Saul politely declined.
Ophelia didnât care at all. She directly pressed against Saul, letting him feel the softness of her body.
âYou donât need to worry about that. I wonât eat you. And I can simulate various organsâwhatever your preferences, I can satisfy them.â
Saulâs mouth twitched. âHow wrong that would make you.â
âNot wronged.â Ophelia laughed carelessly. âThis is an interesting experiment.â
Saying this, without waiting for Saulâs agreement or refusal, Opheliaâs finger touched Saulâs robes.
Saulâs black wizard robes immediately turned into liquid of the same color, rolling off his body without wetting the shirt and pants underneath.
Saulâs breathing caught. Just as the other party was about to target his shirt, he suddenly spoke, âActually, Lady Ophelia has always known thereâs no second half to the Water Godâs biography, right?â
Opheliaâs movements stopped. âAre you trying to buy time?â
âIâm just curiousâsince Lady Ophelia already has a method to advance to fifth-rank, why would you risk helping me connect to the Prismatic World at this critical stage?â
Ophelia lowered her hands. âWho would complain about having too many advancement methods?â
âArenât you afraid Iâll affect your current advancement plan, Lady Ophelia?â
âJust one avatarânot enough to affect me. When I truly begin advancing, I wonât have time to eat you.â The woman raised her hand, lifting Saulâs chin. âYou look quite delicious.â
Saul knew this Sky City masterâs interest in him came entirely from Peiâerâs experiences, but studying his body was definitely not as important as advancement.
But even if it was just a whim, Saul couldnât directly resist a fourth-rank wizard.
âMay I consider it?â
âNo.â Ophelia said the firm words gently.
âThen you should at least let me prepare, right? Youâre a fourth-rank wizardâI donât want to end up polluted, mutated into a pile of meat scraps afterward.â
Only then did Ophelia step back and release her restraint on Saul.
âYouâre right. I also donât want you to become a disposable tool.â
The other party seemed to return to a serious appearance. That subtle temptation disappeared, transforming back into a lofty queenâs bearing.
âOna said youâve been at the Academy of Knowledge recently?â
âMm.â
âGo to the Academy of Practice next. Iâll instruct them to open a special research project⊠to supplement your body.â
Sensing Opheliaâs unrestrained gaze roaming over his body, Saulâs face darkened. âI can do it myself.â
âHeh, donât be stubborn. I donât want you dying in my bed. After all, in a few months, donât you still have to go to the Tribunal?â
Ophelia raised her hand and waved lightly. Saul was directly sent out of the fuel furnace room.
Saul walked out of the White Glass Palaceâs main hall with a dark expression.
Whether as a man or as a wizard, he couldnât tolerate others treating him as an experimental breeding ground.
[Brother Saul.]
Penny could also sense Saulâs suppressed anger and spoke cautiously.
[Should we just run away?]
