Chapter 790 The Cat and the Fish

Chapter 790 – The Cat and the Fish

Paul took Mina back to where he was staying temporarily.

Although it seemed as if only her ears had changed in Mina’s appearance, Paul knew very well that his daughter was definitely no longer an ordinary little girl.

Mina, who had two more snow-white ears, fell asleep on the way home, and Saul gave Paul a few words of explanation on how to take care of Mina’s body in the following, and then instantly disappeared from the spot.

Looking at the chair the other party had just sat on, Paul froze for a few seconds before returning to his senses.

Then he walked over to Mina’s bedside and squatted down, looking at the sleeping Mina and the two small wings on top of her head, raising his hand and wanting to touch the top of his daughter’s hair as before.

However, the wings, which had been quiet just a moment before, suddenly lifted up, their feathers parted, and it actually seemed as if a miserable white human hand was trying to hold Paul’s outstretched hand.

Paul’s arm froze in place, in the end did not dare to continue to touch.

“My little Mina, after all, has turned into a little monster.”

When he said this, there was regret and relief in Paul’s voice, only there was no fear.

“Dad has to work hard too, there’s no way to protect Mina with only a level like a third level apprentice.”

“It’s good that you have this realization.” Saul’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Paul’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly turned around, realizing that Saul had, at some point, reappeared on the chair he had just sat on.

It was as if he had never left.

“Lord Saul.” Paul bowed respectfully.

This kind of salute was one that would only be used when facing a superior officer or a mentor.

Saul knew that this was Paul’s defection to himself.

This sorcerer apprentice with good talent and heart had finally stopped taking his daughter to escape the dangers of the wizarding world.

Saul nodded and accepted the other party’s salute, which was also considered accepting Paul’s defection.

He raised his hand and placed a box on the table.

This box was about a meter long and wide and half a meter high, sealed tightly so that it was impossible to see what was contained inside.

It was peaceful and quiet, and didn’t make a fragmented sound when it gently bumped against the tabletop.

“This thing will be placed here with you for now, usually let Mina have more contact with it.”

Saul didn’t explain too much, and Paul could only nod in agreement.

After thinking about it, Paul came over and tried to move the box over to Mina’s cot and placed it on top of Mina’s head.

“Do you think this will work?” Paul turned back and carefully asked Saul’s opinion.

Saul let out a light laugh, “Heh, you are positive, if you could be like this before, you wouldn’t still be an apprentice now.”

Seeing Paul’s speechless silence, Saul also no longer teased him, “Mina’s suffering this time, will definitely enter the wizard world early, what do you think?”

“I …… Lord Saul, can I become your student?”

The teacher-student relationship between one-on-one lectures and the kind of public lectures in the large lecture hall is completely different.

“No.” Saul ruthlessly rejected him.

Undaunted, Paul carefully asked again, “What about …… Mina? Her talent is definitely not bad.”

“Mina has already been looked at by the others and will personally accept Mina as an apprentice.” Though Saul refused again, he still pointed out a path to Paul, only that he pointed it out in an unclear manner, and he didn’t know who it was.

“You don’t need to worry about anything else, I will divide a portion of the inheritance of the sorcerer who took Mina to you and Mina. You will first use these materials to promote to full-fledged sorcerer and help Mina with her health. You mustn’t tell anyone about the existence of this box, and you mustn’t let anyone else notice how special it is.”

Paul nodded repeatedly. After arranging everything, Saul’s figure disappeared once again.

Paul waited in the same place for a while to make sure that Saul wouldn’t come back before letting out a sigh of relief.

He looked towards the box beside Mina’s pillow and sighed softly, ”I wonder what it is that Lord Saul asked me to keep. Purposely put it by Mina s side …… Could it be that he helped me save Mina, but actually also for this chest?”

At this time, Mina, who was sleeping soundly, rolled over, and her small hand happened to be resting on the edge of the chest.

And the box was peaceful and quiet, without any reaction.

……

Saul teleported from Paul’s place back to his cabin.

Inside the room, the orange cat, Kate, was curiously pawing at the side of the large water tank that Nathan had just brought back, glaring at the cat’s eyes as she tried to look inside, but still couldn’t make out what was inside.

Saul had added a layer of insulation outside the water tank, so naturally, the orange cat Kate, who was only at the second level, couldn’t see what was inside.

“What is this?” Kate turned around and saw Saul’s sudden appearance and was already not surprised.

“Mermaids, have you heard of them?” Saul sat casually and took a white porcelain kitten out of his arms and placed it on the table.

“Mermaids, it seems like a former species, but aren’t they about to become extinct?”

“There are almost no orthodox merfolk. The one in front of you is sort of a modified product.” Saul raised his hand and released a ball of white light, which was ingested into the water tank, and the entire tank immediately became as clean as new, even the water that had been stored inside for an unknown period of time became crystal clear.

Kate thus got a good look at the creatures inside.

“Oooh, this mermaid is much uglier than in the records!”

“You help me detect it. I suspect that the bloodline belonging to the mermaid is only partially in this mermaid’s body, as well as his soul body, so you also do a dialysis experiment to see if it’s original.”

Kate turned back in surprise, “I’m just a cat now!”

He waved his cat claws, now he couldn’t even hold a test tube. And some experimental instruments were disabled for magical use, so as not to cause inaccurate experimental data.

“I’ll have Agu stay here to help you operate it.” Saul finished and got up, “This white porcelain cat will be left for you, just feel free to use him if you need luck in your experiments. It’s rare to get a chance to get lucky like this without having to pay the price of a curse.”

“Wow even!” Kate was now interested, he immediately abandoned the ugly mermaid and jumped onto the table, gently patting the white porcelain cat’s head with his paw, “I’ve been wanting to try it for a long time. You’ve put out so many imitations of the white porcelain cat, and I can’t believe you didn’t let me use one.”

After a moment of pawing, he closed his eyes as if trying to sense if he had added one to his luck.

But when he opened his eyes, he said suspiciously, “Wait, why do I feel like this isn’t the original?”

“It’s certainly a replica.” Saul said rightfully.

“But I’m a second-ranked sorcerer, does the imitation also have an effect?” The orange cat rubbed its hands together like a mercenary merchant, “Lord Sol, please let me use the original.”

“I have another use for the original.” Saul looked down at the fat orange who was acting pitiful, “What is it that you must pray to the original for good luck?”

“Hey!” Knowing that she couldn’t get the original, Kate had very little interest and lowered her hand, “What else could I be wishing for, I just want to get out of this cat’s body as soon as possible.”

“Ahem ……,” Sol hid his embarrassment with a light cough.

Originally he had promised to help Kate make a human vessel and then transfer his soul from the cat’s body to the new vessel.

But who knew that later on, Ophelia suddenly became interested in his body, and in order to avoid losing his modesty, and more importantly, to preserve the secret of his body and soul, Saul began to intensely expand the influence of the white porcelain cat, and didn’t care about Kate for a while.

After the embarrassment, Saul patted Kate’s head like a white porcelain cat, “One month, you can use this kitten for one month. After a month, either you leave the cat’s body, or you run for your life.”

“Huh?” Kate blinked her cat eyes and suddenly felt a cool air seeping down from the top of her head.
