Chapter 745: I’ve been waiting for you for half a day
Chapter 745: Waiting for you for half a day
Bestana was also the first person to actively vocalize after entering the black pages of the diary.
Saul was still satisfied with the other party’s proactivity, “If the clues you provide are valuable enough.”
Bestana was not aware that when she was in the black pages of the diary, she no longer had secrets for Saul.
Saul could even ask her about her most intimate secrets if he wanted to.
And she didn’t even have the chance to refuse to answer.
Still, Saul was willing to give her that chance.
He hadn’t shielded Bestana’s perception of the outside world when he cast Symphony of Fate, just to see what this third-ranked sorceress knew about it.
After learning about Bestana’s experience, he preferred to have this powerful third-ranked sorceress at his disposal.
Even if she couldn’t become a nominal servant like An, Agu, or Herman, an actual partner could be mutually beneficial.
[The Inverted Tree is not a product of this world. In the Ancient Era, which is earlier than the Dark Moon Era, there were civilizations from other worlds that visited our world.]
[According to limited records, the other party suddenly launched an attack on the sorcerer forces of the time, and after being defeated, they withdrew from our world, and the spatial passage was closed.]
[But this inverted tree was what remained, and eventually became the dependence and heritage of our Baidong Academy.]
“I once saw exposed threads of destiny on those who were controlled by the Tree of Inversion. Is this also the ability of the Inverted Tree?”
[So you …… you have already seen it, and it seems that you deliberately let me see your power over the threads of fate.]
“Yes. After all, I also care very much about the power of the Inverted Tree. It would also help me to better utilize the Inverted Tree if you would try your best to cooperate.”
While Sol and Bestana were exchanging words, Shia on the side began to feel tired after the initial excitement overcame him.
He couldn’t even help but yawn.
Seeing this, Saul knew that Shaya needed to recuperate at this time to adapt to his new body and new partner.
He said to Shaya, “You have just become the core of the Inverted Tree now and need to recuperate. I will try my best to help you create a peaceful environment. When you are in a stable state, just ……”
Thor thought for a moment and pulled a small gray translucent tentacle off of himself and handed it to Shaya.
“…… Just contact me through it. I will come over as soon as I receive the signal, or find someone else to come over.”
Shia nodded.
But before his eyelids closed, Shia suddenly thought of something, and the tree branch propped out a transparent crystal vial containing a small amount of clear water-like transparent liquid.
“You’ve got the Tree of Inversion yet you still came back to help me, I’m not a good person but I know gratitude. This is, the Genie Spring Water I just got through the Wishing Candle …… This is something I can’t use right now, so I’ll give it to you.”
Sol received the Elven Spring Water and was a bit surprised.
Wishing for candles could even get an item that was almost extinct in this world.
Was this prop obtained by wishing for candles transmitted through spatial transfer, or was it hidden somewhere and taken out?
Nowadays, it was very difficult to see witchcraft props related to genies, after all, the average person wouldn’t dare to hold such props in order to avoid suffering from the same curse as the genie ……
“Wait, Shia suddenly offered to give this to me, it can’t be to throw the hot potato to me, right?” Sol jerked his hand up to stare at Shia.
Looking at Shia’s somewhat vain expression on the opposite side, Sol knew that he was afraid that he hadn’t guessed wrong.
Forget it, anyway, even if this thing Saul couldn’t use it, he could still keep it and use it as a prop for pitting people.
“I’ll take it then.”
Shia let out a silent sigh of relief, before continuing to prepare for hibernation.
Seeing Shaya’s less-than-skillful use of branches and roots to wrap herself securely around the tree, the entire space became quiet, and Sol left the Inverted Tree.
When he reappeared on the large tree stump, he realized that the original bare trunk was now wrapped with branches and roots. The two were connected together and could no longer be distinguished from each other, covering the entire stump, which was more than a hundred meters in diameter, underneath.
Saul flew high into the sky again, and the entire Baidong Academy was covered by the dry but dense branches, leaving only some towering buildings with a little bit of roof and towers exposed.
“Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the fruits to slowly ripen, and then we’ll see if the fruit is sweet or bitter.”
He squinted his eyes slightly, and several translucent thin lines suddenly appeared within his field of vision. Saul recognized the one belonging to Kori and was just about to point it up when he suddenly saw another thin thread.
He let out a soft chuckle and touched the other one.
Then, Saul’s figure appeared in a corner of the outer city of Archester.
The place was in ruins, and the ground was strewn with terrifyingly deep holes and huge fissures.
The ground, walls, and roofs were full of mangled bodies.
There were also lucky people cowering in corners, shivering and looking ham-fisted.
Although these people had survived Bestana’s sacrifice, they were afraid that they would never be able to get out of today’s shadow in this life.
Suddenly, an orange-colored figure drilled out from a crack in the wall and slammed into Sol’s chest.
“Bang!”
“Where did that asshole come from, dare to be ……” the orange cat’s curses came to an abrupt end.
He stared with big bulging eyes, completely unable to believe the sight he saw.
That Black Blade Sorcerer who had been imprisoned by the Dean of Baidong Academy and was unable to resist had actually appeared in front of him.
Saul smiled faintly and once again picked up the flesh at the back of Kate’s neck.
“You’re running too slowly, you’ve been waiting for you for half a day, come with me.”
Kate immediately began to struggle.
He didn’t think it would be good for Saul to wait for him.
After all, he had run away when the other party had just been trapped by the Dean of Baidon Academy.
Though the two hadn’t had much of a friendship in the first place, and he wasn’t obligated to save Saul.
But he didn’t think that Saul wouldn’t hate him for running away from the battle.
“That, Blackblade Wizard, I think that since we have escaped, we should go our separate ways ……”
He couldn’t finish his words.
Just as he heard Saul say, “I haven’t taken a man, no, a cat. Could try though.”
Saul then touched the thin thread in front of him that belonged to Kori once again.
In the next second, he appeared in front of Kagome with a fainted cat in his hand.
The first thing that caught his eye was a rabbit that was roasted to a crisp.
“Smells good, you even have this?” Thor was in a happy mood and threw the half-dead orange cat in his hand near the campfire, then nonchalantly went up and pulled off a leg to start eating.
After tasting it, the flavor was surprisingly not bad.
Korrie was startled by the sudden appearance of Saul in front of her, and only relaxed when she heard his voice, “Whenever I’ve been to a party in the past few years, I’d hide in the back kitchen to watch them cook when I got bored. I got good at it after watching more.”
Watching Saul nonchalantly and ungracefully nibbling on the rabbit’s foot, Kori looked at the row of people standing behind Saul and hesitated before saying, “Uh, why don’t you eat it later? There are people waiting for you.”
Saul naturally knew that someone behind him was watching, it was just that he hadn’t eaten anything yet after a busy day or so.
Not hungry, but craving.
He smiled, with no intention of straightening his grooming, and turned back directly with the rabbit’s foot in his hand to see four strangers.
For their part, Agu and Ann stood between the four and Kagome, faithfully performing their task of protecting Kagome.
The man at the head of the strange four wizards immediately owed a bow when he saw Thor turn around.
“That’s fine, you enjoy your meal first. We are in no hurry.” Shadu smiled kindly and with a bit of humility.
