Angor looked at Reynolds from head to toe and noticed that the man's soul was quite pure, without any impurities. Compared to other people's souls, Reynolds' soul was still full of vitality.
"What are you looking at?" Angor had been staring at Reynolds since the monster left, which piqued Ness' curiosity.
"I'm wondering if Reynolds has something that increases his luck," said Angor.
Ness chuckled and shook his head. "Of course not. I checked Reynolds' soul as soon as I arrived. "
Ness gestured at his eyes. "Nothing can escape my eyes as long as it's inside my soul. I don't think there's anything strange in Reynolds' soul, let alone something that increases his luck. "
Cindy also overheard their conversation. She whispered, "Lord Ness, could it be that Reynolds was born with luck?"
"You think so too? You think that it's because of his luck that the magical creature left?" Ness asked doubtfully.
Cindy hesitated for a moment before nodding: "That sea beast came here once before, and we saw it swimming towards us with our own eyes. However, it swam halfway and left again. "
Ness was somewhat surprised. "There's such a thing?"
On the other side, the fat apprentice pondered for a moment and said, "I also thought of something. Ever since we took Reynolds with us, we haven't encountered any more storms. Before that, we've been encountering all kinds of terrible weather events in this area. "
Cindy nodded in agreement. "That's right, when we met Reynolds, Master Filo said that he was quite lucky. Reynolds had been wandering around in the mist this entire time without encountering any attacks."
As the events were recounted one by one, everyone began to recall the details that they had not paid attention to before.
None of them seemed to be a problem. But when all of them were connected together, the coincidence became a little strange.
It was as if Reynolds was really blessed by the gods. He always managed to avoid all kinds of dangers. Wherever he went, he was always in a safe zone.
Ness couldn't help but look at Reynolds again. After a while, he still shook his head. "Nothing. His soul is perfectly normal. If there's something that increases his luck, it's probably near his body. At least his soul is fine. "
Cindy asked with some doubt, "After a person dies, their corpse can still affect the state of their soul?"
"Who told you Reynolds is dead?" Nessie wanted to mock him, but when she saw that it was Cindy who asked the question, she held back the swear words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Reynolds didn't die?" The other apprentices all raised their eyebrows.
"I suggest you go to the Tree Spirit Garden and sign up for a few classes on soul systems. Pay close attention to the content of the classes. Dead souls can't achieve such a pure soul."
All the apprentices looked enlightened. "It's precisely because Reynolds isn't dead yet that if there's an item on his body that increases luck, it might really affect his soul."
Ness nodded. "That's right, but I still think it's a bit too much. Does something that can continuously affect a person's luck really exist? Furthermore, it wasn't a lucky thing for him to appear here in the form of a spirit. Therefore, even if there is really luck, there must be a limit. "
Angor nodded in agreement when he thought about the Lucky Scroll he spent so much effort to find.
Perhaps it was really just a coincidence?
Ness shook his head. "Forget it. Luck isn't the main point right now. I just want to know, what's going on with that monster? "
Nessie looked in the direction where the purple behemoth disappeared with a frown.
Angor was also curious about the "monster". "You said it has someone backing it up? What kind of background does that monster have? "
"That's my guess, but I'm pretty sure." Ness was about to tell Angor more about the monster when he suddenly thought of something. He looked at the apprentices around him, who all pricked up their ears to listen.
"Since you saw it, I don't mind telling you. But it's related to some secrets of Devil's Water. Don't tell anyone else what I'm about to tell you. Got it? "
Cindy and the other apprentices looked at each other and nodded without hesitation. From what Nessie said, this was a great secret! Sometimes, such secrets could not be bought with hundreds or even thousands of magic crystals. They were already lucky enough to hear about it.
"You're lucky. This is my personal information. I found it in the ruins of a research center in the Heart of Insects. I never told anyone about it." Ness hummed and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, this monster might have something to do with the Beast of Disaster."
The so-called Beast of Disaster referred to a long, long time ago. Perhaps it could be traced back to thousands of years ago. It was a terrifying giant beast in the Devil Sea.
This monster was born in the ocean and traveled across the sky. It was the true ruler of Devil's Water.
"Devil's Water has been plagued by all kinds of terrible natural disasters since a long time ago. But it was this monster that really made Devil's Water famous. It was extremely destructive. If it wanted to, it could turn the entire sea upside down. Wherever it went, it would leave nothing but dead silence. Because of this, it was called the Beast of Disaster.
"There were many legendary wizards in the southern wizarding region when it was alive. But even legendary Wizards wouldn't dare to provoke him. "
Although this giant beast was also a legendary creature, its enormous and indestructible body, as well as its spiritual force that could shake an entire ocean, had already exceeded the limits of a legendary human wizard.
Besides, it preferred to stay at Devil's Water and did not want to go to the mainland. Therefore, human wizards had to fight against it. It occupied the oceans, while the human adepts occupied the continents.
"Devil's Water had such a powerful monster? Did it die? "The fat apprentice was curious. It should have died, right? After all, they had never heard of such a monster in Devil's Water.
"Died?" Ness glanced at the fat apprentice in disdain. "What an ignorant fool. Something like that can't even kill itself. "
"I don't know why it disappeared. I only saw it in one of the manuscripts in 'Heart of Insects' Insecort. It left on its own. It's not dead. "
It left on its own? Everyone secretly guessed that perhaps it was because the world could no longer tolerate it and had "expelled" it?
Cindy asked, "Does this giant beast have a name? Or is it the Beast of Disaster? "
"In the manuscripts, Insecort called it 'Schiz' in the Ancient Naz language. But I'm not sure if that's its name. "
Schiz, in the Ancient Naz language, meant "the Feather of Salvation" who carried the Divine Kingdom.
However, that monster did not feel like a savior at all. Instead, it felt more like a destroyer.
"It's hard to verify its true name. Let's call it Schiz for now." Ness paused. "That purple monster that looked like it was covered in ore was at least 80% similar to the Schiz sketches I saw in the manuscripts."
That was why Ness guessed that the purple beast had a close relationship with Schiz. Perhaps it was Schiz's descendant in Devil's Water. As for why it took so many years to hatch … that was not important.
"I see. If it really is Schiz's descendant …" The apprentices shuddered. According to Ness' description, Schiz was powerful enough to destroy half of the wizard world in the southern region. Provoking Schiz was no different from courting death.
"Thank goodness Mister Filo didn't kill it. Otherwise, we'd be in big trouble."
Angor, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "I think I've seen this Schiz thing before."
Ness looked at Angor in surprise. "No way. You went to Insecort's research site too? "
"If I did, I wouldn't have asked for your manuscripts about hatching Soft Worms," Angor said in an annoyed tone. "I saw it in a notebook."
The name of this book was "The Fourteenth Chronicle of Coolory." Since Cuolo's story involved secrets, Angor did not want to tell Ness about it. However, there were other weak apprentices around, so he did not mention Cuolo's name.
"In this book, there is a record of a secret. According to it, there's a mysterious flying monster at Devil's Water that was born in the sea. It can influence the energy field of Devil's Water and take the place into its territory. It can also monitor the activities of the entire place. "
Ness nodded. "Yes. It must be Schiz."
Angor continued, "This monster is very powerful. It occupied Devil's Water for an entire era. But later, Gluzdarryl brought it to Phantom City … and nothing else happened. "
Angor explained Schiz's whereabouts. The monster did not die, nor did it leave on its own. It was taken away by something even more powerful.
"Mister Padt, is Gluzdarryl a person's name? And Phantom City? Where is it? "The fat apprentice looked at Angor curiously.
"You don't need to know. It's not from the southern region anyway."
Ness, on the other hand, had vaguely heard about Phantom City. He muttered to himself, "So that's where Schiz went …"
"I heard that once magical creatures enter the Phantom City, it's very difficult for them to come out again. So we don't need to be afraid of that purple monster. Next time, we'll capture it and study it. "
Ness's eyes glowed.
"I don't know much about Gluzdarryl's Phantom City. But as far as I know, he's a big fan of monsters. He even divided the monsters in Phantom City into different levels. Schiz is a diamond-level citizen."
Angor understood what he was implying. If Schiz sensed that its infant bloodline was killed, it would ask Gluzdarryl to take care of it, and Ness wouldn't be able to escape. Of course, that was if the purple monster was Schiz 'bloodline.
Ness looked a little embarrassed. "I'm just saying. Yeah, I'm just saying."
"And don't tell anyone about Schiz's whereabouts," Angor said.
He wasn't worried about Schiz. Instead, he was worried about Gluzdarryl. Froste warned him that if Gluzdarryl saw Toby, the man would try to take the boy away by force. It was better to stay away from Gluzdarryl and avoid him.
"I know." Ness looked at the other apprentices, who all swore that they wouldn't tell anyone about Schiz's infant bloodline.
Once this was over, Ness looked in the direction that the purple beast had disappeared in, "However, putting everything else aside, there's no need to talk about it. "But I'm curious. Why did it suddenly leave? What happened in that direction? "
"Who knows. Maybe it's another territorial dispute," Angor said.
The disputes between sea beasts were basically territorial issues. The reason why the sea beast had targeted them was because of the aura released by Toby's snake-bird form. It was a provocation to the sea beast.
"Let's ignore it." Angor didn't want to waste too much time on an unknown monster. He was more concerned about Nausica's condition.
Back to the main topic.
Reynolds was still standing there in a daze. He didn't even react to the purple monster's attack. Angor looked at him.
"What's going on with Reynolds?" Angor looked at Ness.
"I checked him. He's fine. It's just a case of emotional stress. His consciousness is being suppressed, and his emotions are taking over. "
"But Reynolds doesn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations," the fat apprentice muttered.
Ness glanced at him. "Emotions taking over doesn't mean he's angry or agitated."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "There's something else. Reynolds didn't lose his memory because his memories were hidden. It's because his consciousness was separated from his body."
"Severed my consciousness? What do you mean? "
"I think there's a small part of his consciousness left in his body," Ness explained.
In other words, the lost memories might remain in the consciousness of the physical body.
It was similar to having dual personality disorder. However, Reynolds didn't have dual personality disorder. The remaining consciousness in his body couldn't support an independent personality.
His consciousness was simply separated from the body, and no one knew why. It was the first time Ness saw such a case.
But one thing was for sure: the memory loss had something to do with the separation of consciousness.
Looking at Reynolds who was staring blankly at the sea with his back to them, Ness said, "I'm guessing that his current state is partly due to the effects of the separation of consciousness."
"Is there a way to wake him up?"
Ness considered. "I can try. I can use some Soul Manipulators to interfere with the flow of his soul energy from the inside. His consciousness will fluctuate, and his thoughts will be awakened. However, the effect of direct interference is not ideal. It would be best to have a primer. "
"Trigger? What trigger? "
"An external source of stimulation. It's best if it can stimulate his emotions to fluctuate. For example … Nausica. "
