Chapter 752 – The Cat’s Retribution

Chapter 752 – The Cat’s Retribution
When Sol left the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower once again, the original five-story tall, pure white wizard tower with a large disk overhead became 17 stories tall.

Of course, Saul had only changed the overall construction of the Sorcerer’s Tower, and the interior decoration still needed to trouble the housekeeper.

At the same time, Saul also stipulated that the second underground floor and the seven floors of space from the 13th to the 17th floor would not allow other people to enter.

If any of the desperate ones wanted to trespass a bit, the many spiteful shards inside the Sorcerer’s Tower would educate them properly.

If it was someone inside the Sorcerer’s Tower, as long as they withdrew immediately, they would still have a chance to live.

But if it was someone else trespassing on the Sorcerer’s Tower, Saul would not give them a chance to leave alive.

Butler Hope was worried that the Sorcerer’s Tower was too small at first, and now it was too big, and finally decided to go to Rhine City to recruit a group of servants to be in charge of cleaning.

So after Sol left, the Pure Spirit Sorcerer Tower had a few more shadows of the Golza Sorcerer Tower.

Saul left this time without bringing Cori or Byron.

These two had already devoted themselves fully to the study of the chaotic domain.

But he brought along an orange cat.

……

August, blazing sun.

The sea breeze from the beach seemed to be scorched.

It was heavy and humid, with a strange fishy odor.

Saul, carrying a huge suitcase and with his orange cat crouched at his feet, followed a group of ordinary people waiting in line for an empty boat.

He, the new owner of No Man’s Land, had once again skipped work to head out of town, and although he was not afraid of being checked out, he should still keep a low profile when traveling.

Coupled with Saul’s personal bad taste, so brittle did not even keep his identity as a sorcerer, directly disguised as a merchant, ready to take the airboat, to the sky city where the fourth-ranked sorcerer Ophelia was located.

Sky City, as the name suggests, is suspended in the sky.

So to travel there, one would usually choose an airboat.

Even powerful wizards were unwilling to waste their precious magic power on the road.

The exception was fourth-ranked wizards.

The crowd moved forward a few more meters.

The luggage of everyone in the airboat is scrutinized so as not to carry dangerous items up there.

After all, it was an airboat, and something going wrong could very well result in a tragedy with no survivors.

“It’s still good for you young people, you don’t even sweat in this heat.”

When the advance stopped again, the person behind Saul suddenly struck up a conversation with him.

Saul placed the large box at his feet, and the orange cat meowed and waved his tail away.

Saul turned around and saw a man who wasn’t very fat, but was already sweating profusely.

The weather was so hot and the other man was wearing a shirt and dress, it would be strange if he didn’t sweat.

Although Saul was also wearing long sleeves and long pants, all of his clothes were breathable linen.

It was a pity that the clothing he thought he could blend in with ordinary people was out of place here.

Nine out of ten of the people here waiting to board the ship were wearing gowns.

The rest were either servants of these people or wore a uniform-like dress code.

Fewer people were dressed as casually as Saul. “It’s okay, it’s probably because my physique is naturally not prone to sweating.” Saul simply replied back and prepared to turn around.

Who knew that the man standing behind him in line was actually a chatterbox.

“Ha, that’s even more envious. If you don’t sweat, you don’t have to change it often, I wonder how much time you’ll save.”

His gaze swept over Saul’s hand, and the large box at his feet, and he took the initiative to ask again, “Young man, this is your first time on an airboat, isn’t it?”

Saul smiled coyly, “I’m not going to lie, it’s my first time lining up here.”

“No need to be nervous, there’s actually nothing to an airboat. As long as you don’t go to the edge of the deck and look down, it’s no different from riding a boat.”

The man first comforted Saul, then introduced himself, “By the way, my name is Mike, this time I’m going to Sky City to visit my family, how about you, young man?”

“My name is Saul, I’m going to Sky City this time because I want to meet the world, and secondly, I want to see if there are any opportunities to make a living.”

“Seeking employment huh?” Mike seemed a bit surprised as he once again looked Saul up and down, this time his gaze was undisguised.

“Sky City isn’t just any other place. Although it is also known as the paradise of knowledge, I heard from my relatives that only high-ranked sorcerers can live comfortably there. Many sorcerer apprentices and even some lower ranked sorcerers have a more difficult time.”

“Really?” Saul was surprised as he recalled the description of the traveling merchant Gaga Drum, “But I heard from my friends that in Sky City, even ordinary people are qualified to pursue knowledge.”

“Hiss …… Saul, you wouldn’t be a scholar, would you?” Mike’s face became taut, “Do you have the qualifications of a scholar certified by any sorcerer power?”

Scholar qualification?
Saul had never heard of this term, but felt that it should still have some popularity among ordinary people.

Thus, Sol just shook his head honestly.

The muscles on Mike’s face immediately relaxed, ”Hey, do you think that the rumored ordinary people are really ordinary people? Only those who have gotten the scholar qualification certified by the wizard power can enter the Seeker’s Academy to study and work.”

He then turned his words around, “But you’re young and seem to be in good physical condition, so there’s still a chance for you to enter the House of Practice to do some auxiliary work. But the jobs there are pretty hard to get into. Even if an ordinary person meets all the conditions, if they want to get a job, they might have to have luck beyond the norm to make it possible.”

“Looks like the competition is really fierce.” Sol nodded, but wasn’t intimidated.

There was an air of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

Seeing that Saul wasn’t answering, Mike came closer, then lowered his voice and said, “Saul, I see that you have a good face and are a solid young man, so I can’t bear to let you go back empty-handed. I’ll show you the way, although it can’t guarantee that you’ll enter the practice academy, it can definitely increase your chances by fifty percent.”

Saul felt amused in his heart as he looked at the other party’s careful fear of being overheard by others and covering up his speech.

But he still maintained his naive persona and asked in surprise, “What path?”

Then he heard Mike lower his voice again and poke his head over, “Have you ever heard of a cat’s retribution?”

Saul: “?!”

Orange Cat: “Meow?”

Saul was still waiting for the rest of the story, but Mike surprisingly didn’t continue.

“Shhh, this isn’t the place to talk. I’ll give you my room number after the airboat in a few minutes, and if you want to give yourself an extra way out, then come see me after dinner. If you have other concerns, it’s all right if you don’t come.”

With that, Mike retracted.

Even when Saul pressed, “What exactly is a cat’s reward?” , the other wouldn’t continue.

Seeing that the other party was stalling and just wouldn’t say anything, Saul didn’t have any thoughts of using force, but rather acted like an ordinary young man. When he couldn’t get any further explanation from the other party, he began to think about whether he should go or not.

At this time, the orange cat Kate carefully transmitted a secret message.

“Lord Saul, this cat’s reward, it won’t be a curse that you spread out, right?”
