Exiting the Prismatic Channel, Saul sat quietly in the wizard tower, thinking.
He was considering whether he should secretly search for his master.
But he was also worried Frim might send people to watch him. Once he left the Borderland, the other party could confirm the Storm Eye was just a false alarm and would very likely immediately send people to âinviteâ Saul back to Nephret.
Saul couldnât leave, so he was thinking about who to send to find Master Gorsa.
If he could join forces with Master Gorsa and persuade the Glare Patriarch, then Tribunal Chief Frim wouldnât seem like such a formidable existence.
Moreover, Saul had mastered Frimâs secrets.
The other party had secretly imprisoned Stuartâs soul while concealing it from Black Flame Emperor Elo.
If Elo knew about this, he would definitely understand that Frim had also prepared contingencies against him.
Regardless of what Frimâs ultimate purpose was, such contingencies and precautions were ultimately unsettling.
Perhaps Emperor Elo would be willing to engage in minor cooperation with Glare for the safety of himself and the Black Flame Empire.
These methods all needed to be gradually unfolded.
The prerequisite was that Saul could find a way to suppress Frim, this greatest threat.
Otherwise, other people, even the closest forces, wouldnât be willing to openly oppose Frim.
âI wonder if half a year will be enough time.â
Just then, Saulâs door was suddenly pushed open, and Keli rushed in holding a letter.
âSaul, I received a distress letter from Kira!â

âKira?â Saul quickly stood up, walked to Keliâs side, and took the letter from her hand.

The content of the letter was very simple, only two sentences.
One was âThe resurrected soul has controlled Kema.â
The second was âShe wants revenge.â
Seeing these two sentences, Saul thought briefly and realized the resurrected soul referred to Yura.
As for revenge?
Besides his Master Gorsa, who else could resurrect someone and still be so hated?
Saul smiled bitterly. âYura wants to take revenge on Master Gorsa? How could she possibly accomplish that alone?â
Saul held the letter and asked Keli, âCan you confirm the information source is accurate? If she could send out a distress letter, why couldnât she write a few more words?â
âBecause we use non-magical methods to transmit information.â
Keli explained to Saul the secret agreement between her and Grand Duke Kira.
âAt that time, Kema and Kenas were in constant conflict, and Tower Master Gorsaâs situation wasnât quite right. Grand Duke Kira thought about what to do if Kema was breached one day â how to secretly transmit important intelligence past the wizards. Later she arranged for trusted people to become the most inconspicuous cleaning staff in the castle. They would clean the castle floors every night, and if Grand Duke Kira and others had information to transmit, they would leave specific marks on the ground.â
âPure physical means to transmit codes? This method isnât very secure either. Didnât she think about what if the information was intercepted and couldnât get out at all?â
Saul repeatedly confirmed the accuracy of the message.
âThere is indeed that possibility.â Keliâs shoulders drooped. âTo prevent magical power fluctuations from being discovered, this purely physical method of transmitting information has many hidden dangers. I can only confirm that the person transmitting the information is Grand Duke Kiraâs person and wasnât in a controlled state.â
Keliâs repeated explanations had already shown her attitude.
Saul looked into Keliâs eyes. âYou want to go, donât you?â
Keli bit her lip.
At this time, she should have been continuing radiation experiments in the Chaos Realm. Grand Duke Kira was in trouble, but wasnât Saul also in trouble?
The only difference between them was that Saul could still buy time now, but who knew what had become of Grand Duke Kiraâs situation.
After all, if there were other solutions, Grand Duke Kira wouldnât ask her for help.
âIâŚâ Keli made her decision. âIâll go take a look. If itâs a problem I can help with, Iâll solve it quickly and return. If I canât help, Iâll also return quickly.â
But Saul suddenly smiled. âSince you want to go, then go.â
He stood up and returned to the experimental table. âHowever, before you go, I need to plan who will accompany you, to see who could be helpful.â
Keli quickly rushed in front of Saul. âYou need people here too. I can go back by myselfâŚâ
Saul raised his hand and ruffled Keliâs metallic-lustrous long hair. âWhenever I had matters that needed you, you always came to help me without hesitation, without asking reasons or considering consequences. Now that you want to save Kema and save Kira, of course I should do my utmost to help you too.â
This time Keli was stunned. She raised her hand to touch the top of her head, somewhat unnaturally arranging the hair strands Saul had messed up.
Saul took out paper and pen, organizing the information he currently had, telling Keli without looking up, âI canât personally accompany you. If I went, it wouldnât help you but would probably bring more trouble.â
He drew a simple map of Stat Continent on the paper, then drew several special symbols located at the Sighing Wall in the far north, the Borderland, and the capital of Kema Duchy.
Finally, Saul drew a line on the paper with his pen. âHave Shaya accompany you!â
âEh?â Keli thought for a moment before remembering who Shaya was. âCan he go? Doesnât he still need rest and recuperation?â
Saulâs fingertip tapped lightly on the table surface. âI have a specially encrypted communication method with him. He can help you transmit information. Moreover, he has multiple clones and is resistant to death. If thereâs danger, just send him up.â
After having the worried Keli go back to prepare departure luggage, Saul again opened the Prismatic Channel to contact Shaya.
Shaya was very reluctant but could only agree.
Saul promised Shaya, âYura wants to seize power. She definitely canât do it alone. After this incident is resolved, there will be quite a few rebels needing cleanup. These people can be handed over to you to handle.â
Shayaâs breathing sounds became rapid.
âOh, thereâs one more thing to entrust to you. The importance of this matter is second only to protecting Keli.â
[As long as youâre not sending me to my deathâŚ]
âDo you think your value is so low that youâre the kind of existence that can be casually discarded?â
[Uh⌠not really.]
Saul mentally rolled his eyes, then told Shaya what he needed him to do.
Shayaâs side transmitted extreme surprise, but in the end didnât refuse Saul.
[Alright! Iâll do it!]
Cutting off contact with Shaya, Saul again called out to Mido.
[Huh, Lord Saul, didnât you just leave?]
Saul: âPlans have changed. Have you already told Royer about the new experimental method?â
[Ah, we already told him.]
âNo problem, proceed as planned, but you donât need to make the experiment progress too quickly. Do you understand what I mean?â
Midoâs side was silent for a moment.
[You want me to play dumb, right?]
Saul smiled. âMore or less. In any case, donât let the experiment succeed immediately. Stall them. In a few days, Iâll return for a trip.â
[Eh? Youâre coming back? But wonât you be imprisoned again if you return?]
âNot going back right now. Thatâs why I need you to delay time. Give them some sweet rewards, but donât completely solve the problem.â
[Alright! Lord Saul!]
Although Mido was still confused, she knew that listening to Saul was enough â no need to think too much.
