Chapter 533: Negligence or Deliberateness
In order to prove that he is indeed capable of helping Dodge remove the pollution, Thor first demonstrated how to use soul fishing to absorb the pollution from the evil spirits.
However, he held back and did not completely clear the pollution.
He also didn't want to reveal all of his strength, especially with the old witch still around.
Seeing Thor helping to remove the pollution from the evil spirits, Dodge more or less believed that he could indeed remove the pollution.
This time he did not hesitate and even took out the contract scroll on his own initiative.
In Dodge's opinion, although Thor could not remove all the pollution from his body - this was in line with his understanding - as long as the pollution was reduced to half of its original amount, he could buy him another twenty years.
As long as he can be promoted to the second level within these twenty years, he can rely on himself to suppress his own pollution.
What's more, the exchange conditions also include cryptocrystalline. With cryptocrystalline, Dodge's chances of being promoted to the second level will be even greater.
After Dodge signed the contract, he went back to pack up without further ado.
Three days later, they met at the same location.
During this meeting, Thor directly helped Dodge absorb about four-fifths of the pollution. The remaining pollution was faint and not very evenly distributed in Dodge's spiritual body.
The deal was done, and Thor handed the cryptocrystalline to Dodge.
Dodge suppressed the excitement on his face, took the cryptocrystalline, and carefully put it into his eye sockets.
Obviously, he also knew how to preserve cryptocrystalline.
Dodge didn't care about the blood on his face. He looked at Thor, the short second-level warrior beside him, and the ordinary man with mushrooms on his face. He smiled and said, "Thank you for abiding by the contract and completing the transaction. Next, I will leave Rhine Lake. As for the rules of the lake, you can only rely on yourself to explore."
Thor didn't say anything, but just glanced at the diary in his mind that was as quiet as if it was sleeping, and nodded.
"no problem."
Such a straightforward answer made the old witch on the side a little dissatisfied.
But she suddenly remembered that when they signed the contract three days ago, the other party only agreed to give up Lake Rhine and did not tell her the rules on the lake. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she had to give up.
"Isn't this Thor very smart? Why didn't he find the loophole in the contract this time?"
Thinking that he had been cheated by the other party, he had to cooperate with him temporarily, and now Thor seemed to have been cheated by Dodge again.
This made the old witch feel complicated.
It feels good and bad at the same time.
Dodge returned to the lake and put away the white feathers.
After leaving the lake, the feather immediately shrank to the size of a normal quill.
"I'll take this with me. Even though it's useless, I still can't bear to part with it after carrying me for so many years."
Thor has no objection.
"Well, I wish you good luck." Dodge was relaxed and refreshed. He waved the feather in his hand goodbye, then turned and flew into the air and left quickly.
Thor discovered that when this person left, a layer of witchcraft shield suddenly appeared on his body. It was obvious that he was worried that Thor would attack him after the transaction was completed.
Thor stroked his chin, thinking.
Seeing that Thor hadn't moved for a long time, the old witch said impatiently, "Why don't you go in? What are you dawdling about?"
Thor then slowly turned around and said, "We have to go in. But I just found a problem."
"What?"
"We agreed in the contract that we cannot intentionally leave traps on the island in the middle of the lake, and we also agreed on many rules to prevent the other party from playing tricks in the transaction. But we didn't say what to do after the transaction is completed."
The old witch didn't think it was a big deal. "The time period after the transaction is completed is infinite. How could he agree with you on how to behave for such a long time?"
"But we can definitely add a time agreement. For example, you cannot regret it within one year after the transaction is completed."
The old witch sneered, "Huh, you remember now? What were you thinking before signing the contract? And you even forgot something as important as asking the other party to tell you the rules. Where did your wisdom go when you schemed against me before?"
Thor looked at the old witch helplessly, "He didn't make the rules. If I accept someone else's answer directly, I might lose the opportunity to touch the essence."
The old witch rolled her eyes, thinking that Thor was just being stubborn.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Did you notice that he put on a layer of shield for himself when he was leaving?" Thor asked.
"It seems that he is just like you. After signing the contract, he remembered that there is no guarantee when the transaction is completed."
Thor was still rubbing his chin. "But why do I feel that he has already thought of making an agreement after the transaction is completed that they should not attack each other within the time limit? After all, he guards the Rhine Lake, but he has already regarded it as a market for trading vengeful spirits. For such a person who often needs to sign contracts, but forgets the final guarantee... I always feel that he did it on purpose."
"What on purpose?" The old witch actually had some idea in mind, but she was too lazy to think about it any further and just asked casually.
"Deliberately waited until the transaction was completed and then changed his mind."
The old witch smiled and put her hands on her hips. Given her stature, if you don't look at her face, putting her hands on her hips is a very cute gesture.
"Then don't be afraid. If he dares to go back on his word, I will make sure he never returns!"
The old witch has become more and more adapted to her guarding job.
Thor decided not to remind her of this, in order to avoid upsetting her.
"Let's go in first. At least we need to have a general understanding of the rules here before the other party comes back."
The old witch flew up immediately, "What are you waiting for?"
Thor said helplessly: "Actually, I guess that if you want to enter the island in the middle of the lake, you can't fly. You must take a vehicle and paddle across the lake."
The old witch rolled her eyes and did not try to be brave this time.
Thor raised his hand and tapped his neck. A black vine flew out and quickly weaved into a raft.
The raft floated steadily on the lake.
When Thor, the old witch and Marsh stepped onto the raft, several tentacles emerged from the four corners of the raft and began to paddle like oars.
"Your boat is so ugly." muttered the old witch.
She remembered the rules Thor had just discovered and kept looking straight ahead.
Thor tapped the raft with his toes. "Although it's not as elegant as the Dodge Wizard's feathers, it's fully automatic and doesn't waste magic."
"Fully? Fully automatic?" The old witch curled her lips, "You always come up with some weird words."
"Don't worry about the details." Thor looked forward.
Xiaozao rowed very fast and he could already vaguely see the island in the middle of the lake in the gray fog.
Although he will soon have his own place in the Borderland, he cannot let his guard down until all the troubles are resolved.
"After arriving on the island, we must build a wizard tower as soon as possible!"
…
After leaving Rhine Lake, Dodge flew carefully in the No Man's Land for three days, avoiding danger all the way until he arrived at a withered forest.
In the middle of this withered forest, there is a towering tree with a gorgeous wooden house built on the tree.
Strings of milky white wind chimes are hung on the roof ridge and eaves.
It's just strange that when the breeze blows, the wind chimes sway with the wind but make no sound.
Dodge walked carefully to the bottom of the tree house, took out the same dream bell given by the dream maker from his arms, and said loudly: "Dear Dream Maker. I found a new nightmare butterfly for you!"
“Ding-ling… Ding-ling… Ding-ling…”
“Ding-ling… Ding-ling… Ding-ling…”
“Ding-ling… Ding-ling… Ding-ling…”
All the milky white wind chimes rang instantly.
The clear and pleasant sound suddenly resounded throughout the heaven and earth.
