Chapter 730: Saul the Profligate Merchant
Kate had never heard of "The Cat Returns", but now he has seen it.
This guy doesn't seem to feel fear in the dark.
He was walking with the cat in his arms on a road that seemed to have no end. From time to time, some dark shadows would appear in the tall buildings around him, staring at the man and the cat.
Even though she was being carried by Thor, Kate still felt waves of fear.
He hunched over his hands and feet, and looked around constantly, as if he had completely forgotten that he was a wizard.
What he hated most was that every time Thor walked past a street lamp, he would stop and wait for a while, taking advantage of the orange cat Kate's sensitivity to fear to gather the dark shadows hidden in the darkness.
Many dark shadows would soon gather around the street lamps, making the already dim light even dimmer.
When these black shadows gather to a certain size, Thor will use a special method to shake the tall and thin black shadows into a pile of powder.
Kate didn't know how Thor resisted the terrifying pressure created by these shadows.
You can't just use your spirit body to bear it, right? After passing the third street lamp, Kate finally couldn't help but tremble and spoke.
"Black Blade Wizard, do you want to eliminate the enemies here in this way? But I don't think it will work."
The orange cat took a quick look at the tall buildings nearby.
The fear these buildings brought to him was not alleviated in the slightest just because Thor killed some of the shadows.
"I think these shadows are the attachments here. If you break them, it won't affect this place."
"Actually, I didn't smash these shadows to destroy this place." Thor took two more steps forward and then stopped. "Do you feel that someone is always watching us?"
The orange cat stretched out its front paws stiffly. "Of course there are. They have always been there. Since I came in, these shadows have been staring at me. Beside the street lamp, in the room, and even the moon in the sky! What moon is that? It's clearly the scariest eyes here!"
Saul suddenly interrupted Kate: "You are right."
"?" Kate was puzzled at first and then emphasized, "Right? Rather than wasting time like this..."
Unexpectedly, Thor raised his head and stared at the moon above his head.
"I've been able to feel a sense of being watched since I came in. That gaze is different from the other beings here, it's very special... because he is very rational."
"Reason?" Kate was a little confused.
"It's normal that you don't know. After all, you don't know where this place is or what our situation is."
"You know?"
"Yeah." Thor looked up, his eyes fixed on the moon above his head.
At this time, the moon became a full moon again.
It seemed as if he was also looking at Thor.
Thor said loudly: "This is actually a replica of the ancient city of Archaostene by the Inverted Tree. But there has always been an existence here that does not belong to the ancient city of Archaostene, and it has not been discovered by anyone. It exists so blatantly that I have never considered that it may not be the product of the Inverted Tree."
The moon above his head gradually became more and more curved under Thor's gaze.
"Right, Mr. Moon?"
As soon as Thor finished speaking, the moon in the sky fell down at the speed of free fall.
"That, isn't that the moon?" Kate was finally free. She immediately jumped off Thor's hand and ran backwards for seven or eight steps before stopping and turning to look at the sky.
"What's so strange about this?" The moon fell directly in front of Thor and hovered about one meter above the ground.
Only when you get closer can you see that the moon is actually a spherical shell of light.
It was just that two eyes and a mouth suddenly grew on the shell, and they started to complain about the orange cat.
"Is the moon you see really the moon? Is it really a cat if you look like a fat cat? Do you think everything around you is an illusion?"
Kate was stunned by the moon.
Although he really wanted to say that he was not fat, he didn't have the chance to open his mouth.
Seeing that the orange cat had no reaction, Moon seemed to think he was not a threat and looked at Thor again.
"As soon as you came in, I saw you and I knew you were not a good person. You pretended to be honest and deceived everyone, even me. Damn it, trusting strangers really pays the price!"
Thor raised his eyebrows, and he suddenly knew who the moon in front of him was.
"Shaar Wizard?"
"You don't have to pretend. If you didn't know who I was, would you deliberately show off your strength in front of me to lure me out?"
Xia is sick again.
Always assume the worst of others.
However, it may be precisely because of this character that he became an outlier among the spirits absorbed by the Inverted Tree.
"Whatever you think." Thor was too lazy to explain. "I came here to want something, but the state of the Inverted Tree has obviously changed. So I need to figure out one thing, what is the current state of the tree? Who is the owner of this tree?"
Kate, who was stunned by Char's question, couldn't help but turn her gaze to Thor.
"Who is this Black Blade Wizard? He seems to know more than Wilde." A cold light flashed in the cute big eyes of the orange cat, and then disappeared in an instant, returning to its dazed state.
While trying his best to reduce his presence, he pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two.
"Humph, why should I tell you?" Xia, who had turned into the moon, snorted coldly, "Are you also coveting the Inverted Tree? That's not something you can covet!"
Thor crossed his arms and sneered, "Why do you care about this? Anyway, no matter who it is, it can't be you. You are just a spirit that has long been a puppet."
The moon's eyes narrowed suddenly. "Are you trying to provoke me? Don't waste your time. Just know that without my help, you will be trapped in the Inverted City forever, forever and ever, until you also become a cocoon of the Inverted Tree."
The moon threatens Thor and Kate fiercely.
"Don't worry about that." Thor suddenly stepped forward and reached out to touch the moon.
The moon rose rapidly and in the blink of an eye reached the height of the street lamp.
But Thor's speed was not slow either. Not only that, the gray translucent tentacle he suddenly swung out was even faster, directly blocking the moon halfway, and quickly wrapped around him, forming a knot.
"You?" Seeing Thor taking action, Char seemed to have forgotten that he had fallen from the sky on his own initiative. "You liar, you really want to kill me!"
Char, who had been in the Inverted Tree for many years, was angry but not panicked.
While cursing, he prepared to change his form and escape from the "knot" created by Thor.
Then the round moon turned into a crescent moon in the blink of an eye.
But Char discovered that the ropes that bound him shrank along with him!
It turned out that the tentacles that tied him had rows of suction cups on them, firmly clinging to the surface of the moon.
Thor pulled back the tentacle slowly, watching Char try to break free but unable to.
"Although your consciousness is still independent, it has obviously been affected by the inverted tree. Without you, we may not be able to leave this inverted city, but without me, you will lose yourself little by little in the disguise."
Char's struggling movements slowed down noticeably.
Obviously, he also understood this, otherwise he would not be so anxious to show up in front of Thor.
Compared to Thor who was trapped in the inverted city, Char was the one who was eager to escape.
Char turned into a full moon again, "What are you going to do?"
Thor smiled, "Let's make a deal. I'll help you with your treatment, and you'll help me get the seeds of the Upside-Down Tree. If it hasn't rotted yet."
