Chapter XI
Rhaegar sat in his own room in the Mage's Tower, thinking about what he had encountered during the day.
If in the beginning, the geist only used this method of self-mutilation and feigned amnesia for self-preservation, and was ready to flee at any time, after witnessing the strength of the Mage Tower, he had changed his mind.
He wants to make the most of the power of the Mage Tower.
There are three obvious advantages to this: first, with the backing of such a powerful group of mages, his safety will be guaranteed, and after that assassination, Rhaegar, who is extremely important to survival, will always think about his own safety, second, he will learn more advanced spells here, which is undoubtedly a huge attraction for him who has a strong consciousness but is unable to use it, and third, and most importantly, although he does not know what attracts him, Rhaegar is convinced that it will never be as easy to obtain these things as buying bread, and the power of the mage tower can provide him with powerful help。
But first, he had to gain Carson's trust.
This goal seems to have been achieved. During the time when he was pretending to be unconscious, Carson's investigation had preliminarily determined his identity, and the part of the soul wrapped in the outermost part of the soul from another Rhaegar was enough to prove it for him, and Rhaegar had absolute confidence in this: according to his memory, even in the ancient age of the gods, only a few gods who had a deep study of the soul knew about the existence of this method, and in this era when the gods had long since left, knowing the existence of this spell could be counted on almost one hand, which obviously did not include Carson, otherwise the owner of this mage tower would not have to take him to the demon for treatment, but to detain him and torture him。
But the demon's presence had given him a new threat—apparently the demon had gained some information from a scroll of deceitful deception that had escaped the ravages of time, not enough for him to master the spell, but enough for him to see through his disguise.
Rhaegar sank his consciousness into the deepest part of his soul - in a state in which he could concentrate entirely on his thoughts - and considered countermeasures.
That demon must not be allowed to continue to exist, this was the first thing that came to Rhaegar's mind, never expect a demon to keep his promise, as the tragic fate of countless people has proven. However, it is not easy to destroy a demon who is far superior to himself, and at the slightest negligence, the demon who escaped will launch a crazy revenge, and his secret will be exposed to Carson.
"You only get one chance," Rhaegar thought, "you have to be sure enough to do it." ”
After confirming the integrity of the undisturbing magic on the door, Rhaegar lay down on the bed and returned to his geist form.
While the interior of the mage tower was full of magic for defense and surveillance, the spell traps set for mortals or physical creatures were obviously of little use to the geist, and the way to evade detection from memory allowed Rhaegar to easily evade the surveillance, and after a few minutes of walking through the walls, he came to Carson's room.
Even though Carson was the only one who knew the proper way to use the Scepter, after much thought, Rhaegar decided to start with this Scepter first - if he could master the Scepter, or be able to do something on it, it would undoubtedly be the best chance to deal with the demon.
The geist didn't enter the room right away, he burrowed his body into one of the walls of the hallway, quietly waiting for his opportunity, and according to what he had learned these days, Carson would routinely leave the room at this time of the day to hold a meeting with the higher-ups of the Mage Tower.
After about five minutes, Rhaegar finally saw Carson's back as he left, and luckily, the mage didn't have the scepter in his hand - as a symbol of the Mage's Tower, the scepter was mostly stored away rather than used as a weapon.
Rhaegar waited patiently for another two minutes, and after making sure Carson wouldn't return, he walked through the ceiling of the hallway, bypassing the mechanical puppet guard standing in the doorway, and entering the latter's room.
There is no doubt that as the leader of the Mage Tower, Carson's residence is full of various magical traps, but like the other traps in the Mage Tower, they are not of much use to a geist, even those powerful force fields cannot prevent him from entering, and without any alarm being triggered, Rhaegar roams Carson's room unhindered.
This form also made it easier for him to find, and Rhaegar didn't even have to open the containers where the items were stored, but could get an unobstructed view of the contents by threading his head or upper body through the outer walls of the containers.
Neither Carson nor his predecessors had ever expected to encounter such a thief when it came to keeping important items, and with five minutes to go before the deadline to leave the body, Rhaegar spotted his target in a dark compartment that was barely indistinguishable from the wall.
Contrary to most people's imagination, the appearance of the Scepter of Kallen, which represents the supreme authority of the God of the Storm, is unremarkable: the dark staff is indistinguishable from an ordinary iron rod except for dense incantations, and the top of the staff is a gem the size of a baby's fist, but its texture is far from superior, and the whole gem has no luster in the slightest, and if it is placed on the street, it is likely to be ignored as an ordinary stone.
However, the humble scepter caught Rhaeggar's attention deeply—not the scepter itself, but the gem at the top, which seemed to attract him to something in the feeling of the geist.
Rhaegar slowly reached out and touched the gem, and as always, the geist's hand passed through the gem's shell, but when it reached the core, it was hindered like never before: an object about two centimeters in diameter clung to the palm of his hand, and at the same time, a strange sensation passed through his arm to his consciousness, as if he was not holding a gem, but something connected to his flesh and blood.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Rhaegar felt the ecstasy of the object in his hand, the joy of rediscovering his lost soul, and in this moment, an inseparable bond was established between them.
The sensation made Rhaegar almost sink into it, until Carson's powerful soul appeared within his range of perception, and the spirit reluctantly let go of his hand and walked through the wall before the master of the mage tower opened the door.
