“Of course I know.” Kismet was still grinning, “But your advancement method is obviously not Death Weaving! Wherever you’ve been, not only is there no shadow of death shrouding the area, but there’s also a vitality of change. I think being able to become your target… what an honor.”

Since Kismet had already guessed that becoming a target of Symphony of Fate would bring great benefits, Saul immediately changed his tone, “If I agree, what benefits can you give me?” Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novęlfire.net

Kismet had prepared before coming to find Saul, “Aren’t you looking for Byron? I know where he is and can take you there.”

Saul crossed his arms, “I’ve already walked this far, do you think I won’t be able to find him?”

Kismet shook his head and smiled helplessly, “Master is really not easy to fool.”

He looked at Saul with burning eyes, “What about all the intelligence regarding red worms? I guarantee that everything Alick knows, I know too.”

Saul stared at Kismet’s cunning smiling face without blinking, “I really suspect now that the red worms were actually brought in by you.”

“I really don’t have that ability.” Kismet said with a grin.

“Fine. I agree.” Saul agreed readily, “But you also have to fulfill what you said earlier about taking me to where Byron is.”

The other party laughed twice, “Master really knows how to do business.”

“Every time I select a target, I need to make some preparations, but this isn’t a suitable place.” Since they’d reached an agreement, Saul spoke honestly, “So I hope you can first help me rescue Senior Byron.”

Kismet winked at Saul, “Master can rest assured, I also trust Master very much.”

Previously, when Saul had Kismet exchange his freedom for the method to advance to fourth rank, he had given Kismet his freedom first, not afraid at all that Kismet would run away.

So now Kismet told Saul that he also trusted Saul.

However, Kismet didn’t know about the existence of causality. The strong binding force of fate lines couldn’t be detected by a mere fourth-rank wizard before it truly took effect.

Saul’s face had already been toughened by now, and he felt no embarrassment at all facing Kismet’s trust.

“Little brother master, you’ve been circling around the Star Observatory Tower, you must be guessing that Byron is imprisoned in the observatory, right?”

Saul nodded, “It should be a relatively hidden place.”

“Very hidden. It could even be said that while it’s near the Star Observatory Tower, it’s not really near the Star Observatory Tower.”

“Stop beating around the bush… could there be a hidden World Side here?”

Kismet’s eyes crinkled with laughter, “You guessed right! Would you like to guess where the entrance to that World Side is?”

Saul looked up. Not far away on the Star Observatory Tower, that enormous red worm was still slowly twisting its head. Its huge mouth opened and closed, as if devouring the magic power in the air.

“World Sides are connected to the main world through a spatial entrance, and red worms came in through the stargate spatial entrance. Could the hidden World Side be near its head?”

“You guessed right again!” Kismet alternated between formal and casual address, speaking entirely according to his mood.

“The hidden World Side is inside the Star Observatory Tower. If you want to go in, you first need to find a way to sneak inside.”

“Sneak inside?” Saul frowned.

His concealment abilities were really mediocre, and he was always discovered by fourth-rank wizards. If Saul used fate lines to spy, he definitely wouldn’t be discovered, but fate lines entering a World Side couldn’t rescue Byron.

“Don’t worry, my little brother master. There aren’t many normal people left in the Stargate Council now. With red worms running rampant, the living people are all too busy to handle everything, let alone Chairman Alick himself. So sneaking in is still quite easy.”

“People who can see red worms won’t be devoured by red worms?” Saul asked.

“It’s not that they can’t be devoured, but they’ll be recognized as the same species by red worms. But if you anger them, they’ll still eat you.”

Saul thought of the red worm that had been eliminated by his star-shaped eyes. If it were still alive, it would probably be angered, right?

“It’s not easy to anger red worms either, since conventional methods can’t even touch them.”

“That’s right.” Kismet swayed his silver long hair.

“So, will people who can see red worms be devoured and controlled by red worms?”

“No. Red worms are also a brainless species, they don’t have such cunning.” Kismet held up his index finger and waved it twice in front of Saul, “Confusing people’s memories is something the Stargate Council does themselves.”

Stripping wizards of their memories of red worms and having them continue working for the Stargate Council in their original positions. It could only be said that the Stargate Council was really short-staffed now.

“In that case, Corey was more likely taken away by people from the Stargate Council. Under what circumstances would they take away controlled people?” Saul looked at the campfire in front of him. The flames kept twisting but always pointed toward the sky, some sparks scattered out and quickly disappeared.

So Saul answered his own question, “It should be when they can’t control them.”

He stood up and patted the dust off his bottom, “I know how to sneak in. Before that, tell me all the information about red worms. After I get Senior Byron out, I’ll prepare the magical formation for Symphony of Fate.”

“Symphony of Fate?” Kismet’s eyes flickered, “I really like that name.”

…

As dawn broke, a new batch of wizard apprentices participating in the Stargate Council selection rode carriages from the capital of Olga Duchy toward the Star Observatory Tower.

As long as they could pass the selection, even wizard apprentices could stay and work inside the observatory. Moreover, with the Stargate Council as backing, unless their aptitude was particularly poor, advancing to third-level wizard apprentice was very easy.

But then again, people with particularly poor aptitude didn’t even qualify to participate in the selection.

Second-level apprentice Jeffrey stepped down from his carriage with excited yet nervous feelings.

These carriages would wait in place for half a day to take back those who failed the selection. These wizards were all very generous with money, some would even throw a gold coin.

Although those being taken back wouldn’t be in a good mood, as long as the coachman served them carefully, the fare could still be received in full. After all, these wizard apprentices wouldn’t dare cause trouble near the Stargate Council.

Jeffrey straightened his collar again, calmed his active soul body once more, and stepped toward the main gate.

As a result, when he got to the end of the line, he found that he knew the apprentice in front of him.

“Saul?” Jeffrey patted Saul’s shoulder, “What a coincidence, we came at the same time.”

The apprentice standing in front of Saul looked back, said nothing, but felt somewhat puzzled.

“Was this person standing behind me just now?”

However, he didn’t think much about it, since the two people behind him had already started chatting enthusiastically.

“Yeah, I originally saw an acquaintance and suddenly got off the carriage, thought I wouldn’t be able to travel with you.” Saul appeared much more enthusiastic than yesterday.

The two looked just like old friends who had already become very familiar with each other.
