After picking up the corpses, Claire first walked around the ruins and made sure that the three had fled, and then gave up her plan to hunt them down.

In the end, he took out Horner's spirit body, and with a little means, he learned from his mouth where some treasures in the ruins were stored.

Except for a few of the treasures that were discovered by the previous wizards, the other treasures went into Claire's pocket.

However, those treasures did not gain much for Claire, and for Claire, the biggest gain was the stone carved with strange runes from Kelly, as well as Horner's soul......

Both of these will help him advance to the Archmage more quickly and then return to his original world.

……

In Martin's castle, Claire enters the laboratory with Horner's spirit.

After entering the castle, Claire also let go of the restraints on Horna's spirit body, allowing him to change from a spherical form back to a human form, but still cast a spell to restrain it to a certain extent, so as not to cause any chaos again.

"Boy, let me go, I'll admit you're smart, you did guess my thoughts......" Horner's soul kept chattering along the way.

"I'm not going to take your body now, you just need to let go of me, just help me find a wizard to possess me, and I'll give you the perfect cultivation method."

Horner has been tempting Claire, but Claire is unmoved, just like his babbling.

"I didn't lie to you! I could swear! That perfect cultivation method is the pursuit of all wizards, are you sure you don't want it? ”

Once in the lab, Claire finally turned around and accosted him, "No, I have my own." ”

"You have?" Horner was surprised, but quickly added, "Your cultivation method must not be as perfect as mine!" It's true! My cultivation method is something that I have spent thousands of years perfecting, and your cultivation method is not as good as mine at all! When Horner said this, his tone was full of confidence, it was the summary of his life, and he didn't believe that it couldn't compare to Claire's cultivation method.

"Are you sure?" Claire chuckled.

From Claire's laughter, Horner felt a trace of unease, but still stiffened his neck and said, "What is there to compare this, it must be mine that is better!" ”

"Look at this, then." Claire threw out the cultivation method modified by Martin before, and the cultivation method still had a lot of flaws in his opinion, but for the wizards of this world, it was already a product of the era.

Horner half-incredulously opened the pages on it, his expression became particularly beautiful, and the speed of turning the pages became faster and faster, until finally there was only a look of surprise on his face.

"This ...... How is this possible! ”

"It's even better than what I've studied! There are many aspects and routes that I never imagined......" Horner's hands trembled as he took the book, and finally raised his head and stared directly at Claire's eyes and asked, "Where did you get this!" ”

Claire pulled the book back from the other's hand, "I'm not obligated to tell you the answer. After saying that, he casually threw the cultivation method to the side of the test bench.

Horner's gaze followed the trajectory of the book from top to bottom, and his heart chuckled as if the things he cherished were being treated casually by others as if the book was on the test bench.

"Since you have a more perfect cultivation method, then why do you still want to arrest me......" Horner asked faintly, he thought that his value was to have a more perfect cultivation method, but Claire obviously didn't need that kind of thing.

Claire smiled slightly, "Didn't I say it at first?" I'm not interested in that cultivation method, but I'm quite interested in you. ”

Horner's pupils shrank and he tried to take a step back, but found himself restrained and unable to move.

"What do you mean?"

Claire looked at Horner with a smile and said softly: "The water mirror space should be specially designed by you, which can nourish your spirit body, so that it will not be consumed for a long time and even your spiritual intelligence does not exist, and you have been nourished for thousands of years, plus your original spirit body that is a legendary wizard, how much soul matter do you say?" ”

Soul matter is also a type of energy, it can be said to be a higher level of energy, and if it is used for breakthroughs, the effect will be twice the result with half the effort.

As Claire stared at him and said such a thing, Horner felt his goosebumps stand up again, like a prey targeted by a hunter.

Tremblingly, he said, "You want to absorb my soul matter? Then rise to the level of an epic wizard! ”

Claire snapped her fingers, "That's right, but there's no reward." ”

After getting a definite answer from Claire, Horner's whole body panicked, wanting to open his mouth to seek a glimmer of hope for himself to survive, but when the words came to his lips, he felt how powerless those words were, and he couldn't get the possibility of survival for himself.

His biggest hole card "perfect cultivation method" The other party already has it, and it is even better than his own, all Horner doesn't know what to do now, the other party is eyeing his dog's life, and he can't think of any reason to persuade the other party to give up.

"Do it yourself or do you want me to do it?" Claire asked suddenly.

Horner came back to his senses, "What do you mean?" ”

"Meaning, do you want to survive?"

Horner nodded hurriedly, he didn't care about face at all in the face of life and death.

"Strip yourself of your soul matter, if you can survive after stripping, I will spare your life." Claire said softly, if she forcibly peeled it off herself, the quality and quantity of those soul substances would decline to a certain extent under the resistance of the other party, and in order to ensure the quality and quantity, Claire gave Horner a choice to live.

Horner's eyes changed several times in just one second after hearing Claire's words, is this really a person? How is it possible for such cruel words to come out of a person's mouth.

Claire's proposal is equivalent to letting a person take a knife and peel off the flesh and blood of his body piece by piece, and the pain of stripping off the soul substance is even more painful than Ling Chi.

Seeing the hesitant look in Horner's eyes, Claire smiled slightly, "Is it that difficult to choose?" Then I'll do it. ”

Horner hurriedly stretched out his hand, stopped Claire and said, "Don't don't! I figured it out, I'll strip it myself. ”

"But can you keep your promise? If I survive, you will spare my life. ”

"Do you think you can still bargain in this situation? Believe it or not, the decision is yours. ”

While Claire was talking, Horner kept staring at Claire's eyes, trying to see some clues, but Claire's eyes were always calm, and there was no fluctuation at all.

"Good! I believe you! Horner gritted his teeth and said that if Claire had just sworn that he would let him go, Horner would not believe it.

"You made the right choice."

Claire then quickly stirred the clear liquid in the beaker with a glass rod, and when the liquid inside became viscous enough, Claire stopped what she was doing, and then splashed the transparent viscous liquid with a glimmer of light into the air.

When the viscous liquid is spilled, it rapidly changes, expanding from liquid to a marshmallow-like substance, filling the entire laboratory. The marshmallow-like substance was unreal, and Claire's movement around it was not affected at all, but rather a bit of a hindrance to the spirit Horner.

This is a container specially concocted by Claire to keep the soul substance, otherwise if the beaker is used to contact the soul substance, the soul substance will not be preserved at all.

"Alright, let's get started." Claire lay lazily in her chair and spoke.

Then, a scalp-tinging, irregular scream of terror erupted from inside the lab, and Upton assured that it was the most terrifying sound he'd ever heard, not one.
