Chapter 501.
Chapter 501 The Deal
“What are you doing here? Still want to fight me?” Saul was in no mood to sympathize with anyone at this point.
He was a bit wary of the roots and whiskers that made up Shia, who expected Shia to unapologetically state the purpose of his trip.
“The orders I received were only to pretend to chase and take the opportunity to take a bit of your spirit body after having a fight with you.”
“Interested in my spirit body?” Saul remembered something, his face didn’t show it, and only said casually, “What is your purpose for directing what you were originally going to do secretly?”
The roots behind him suddenly spread out a bit, and one of them came close, and the end suddenly swelled up, vaguely turning into a humanoid shape, with a visible head and five senses, and the two forked roots also transformed into the shape of arms.
It looked more like the original appearance of the Shia sorcerer.
“I had prepared many means of escape before. But also thought about what to do in case I was resurrected one day and became a ghost enslaved by others.”
“You this guy …… “Saul didn’t expect that this Shia had prepared so many back roads for himself.
“If I were to die outright, then everything would be useless, but the current situation proves that I am very well prepared. I have my own methods to keep my soul consciousness independent, I won’t be easily driven by others, and I can find a way to recover even if I am bewitched.”
Shia raised two arms made up of roots, “It’s just that I’m now trapped in the roots of this plant, and if I hadn’t come out to chase after you, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have been able to leave the confinement.”
Shaya lowered his hands and looked at Sol, the color of eagerness was faintly visible in his wooden wooden eyes.
“I’ve long noticed the few servants around you, the static force field in their bodies are all wrong, in fact, they are all souls entering the bodies of the dead, right? I want your kind of spirit entering other corpses.”
Thor listened, somewhat surprised by Shia’s acumen. With his cautious character and endless means, if the Inverted Tree wasn’t too powerful, I’m afraid that Shia wouldn’t have even fallen into the present situation.
“What are you taking in exchange?”
“I’ll let you leave intact.”
Saul bristled a little, “You don’t think there’s no way I can leave without your concessions, do you?”
Shia gave a start, looking at Saul’s clouded look, but was a bit confused.
Although he and Saul had also carried out several sweeper missions together, the other party always seemed to have an introverted and calm demeanor, as if he had never been forced to reveal his true strength.
Although Shaya felt in his heart of hearts that with the strength of a first-order sorcerer, how could he not escape from the many roots with all his whiskers. But if the two of them really fought, I’m afraid that they wouldn’t be able to follow up with a calm exchange.
“There’s nothing I can exchange with you in my current state, do you want to know the secrets of Baidong Academy?”
Saul was still a bit curious about the secrets of Baidong Academy, and just as he hesitated to find out from Shia, the diary suddenly flipped to Ann’s page.
[Master ……]
Because she knew she had done something wrong, An’s handwriting looked careful.
[I know something about the Inverted Tree of Andazonia, and it should be more than what Shia Witch knows].
“Ann actually knows? It seems like she wasn’t without something inside that great tree.” Thor thought, and changed the content when he opened his mouth again.
“You mean Andazonia? I do know some of it.”
Now Shia was completely frozen.
It wasn’t surprising that Sol knew the name of the Inverted Tree, some people who knew the surface information called it that.
But Andazonia was the real name of the Inverted Tree in the realm of sorcery, and also represented the essence of this magical creature, which was not at all clear to the general public.
He had only learned about it after he had been imprisoned in the depths of the tree, so how did Saul know about it? Could it be that his mentor had once taught him about this aspect?
Shia didn’t dwell on it for too long, he didn’t have much time either, if the owner of the big tree found out about the abnormality, he would most likely suck him back and send another spirit over to carry out his mission.
That way he wouldn’t get anything.
Thinking of this, Shia’s tone softened, and his stance wasn’t as upright as it was just now.
“I have a spare residence by the sea that is well hidden. Inside that place, I have stored the evil spirits that I have exchanged and captured over the years. I know that you are majoring in the dark attribute and collecting evil spirits, so if you teach me the way for spirits to enter corpses and move around freely, I will tell you the location where those evil spirits are stored.” After saying that, even Shia, who clearly didn’t have a heart, felt angina, that was the stockpile he had left behind for how many years!
He shouldn’t have stored all the evil spirits in a hole in the ground back then!
This was good, once he gave it all out.
Saul’s eyes did light up when he heard it, is this Shia a hamster? The inventory was too much.
Looking at the other party’s vaguely wrinkled features, he knew that the number of evil spirits must be quite a lot.
And whether Saul was doing soul arming or trying to re-establish a wizard tower of his own, he needed a large number of spirits.
“Then we reach an agreement.” Saul wasn’t greedy, and upon hearing a satisfactory exchange, he reached an agreement with Shia.
Shia was also relieved, in his current state, there were not many people who could make a deal with him.
Luckily, the previous agreement between him and Saul on the goblin contract hadn’t expired and been voided yet, or else the two would have had to go through a lot of brainstorming to consider how to ensure that the deal was struck and that there would be no deception on each other’s part.
After making the oath, Saul generously dictated the formula for the Soul Rejection Delay Potion to Xiaya.
Shia also used his brain to memorize it by rote, and he didn’t dare to record it on any carrier so as not to be detected by the owner of the Inverted Tree.
After painfully memorizing it a few times to make sure he wouldn’t forget it in a short period of time, Shaya raised his head and said to Sol, “Now let’s fight.”
Thor smiled slightly, and the black blade that had been coalescing above his head swung down nonchalantly, instantly eliminating one of Shia’s arms, as well as a handful of roots beside him.
The two were in agreement though. Crossing in the downward pressure position, one had to pretend to have chased after Sol with all their might, only to be unable to defeat the other and retreat helplessly.
Who would have thought that Saul is not at all martial virtues, one second with a smile, the next second to lift the table. Even if he was pretending to lift the table, he was still hitting too hard!
But things have come to this point, Shia can’t say anything, just grimly commanded a large number of roots behind him, attacking Saul and his carriage from three sides.
“Even if I can’t steal your spirit body I definitely have to make you leave something behind. Otherwise how can I prove that I’m chasing you with all my might?”
Thinking like this, Shia commanded the root whiskers to attack even more fiercely.
“It seems that when Anne and I encountered the attack, those root whiskers ignored me and only attacked Anne, it was also because there was someone directing them from behind.”
Since getting Ann back, he hadn’t freed up any time to inquire why the other party had sneaked into the underground and what had happened in the Inverted Tree.
Now that it seemed that Anne had recovered almost enough, he could interrogate and question her properly in a while.
Saul retreated as he fought and quickly returned to the vicinity of the carriage.
His carriage had activated the defense square on top, but it wouldn’t last long under the attack of the many roots.
Marsh, the coachman sitting outside, cowered in the frame with his head in his hands, the mushrooms above his head shivering.
Strangely enough, those roots didn’t attack him either, as if they really regarded him as a mushroom.
Saul maneuvered his Dark Spirit Blade to cut off the roots that were close to the carriage with a few swipes, while Agu also cooperated with him to perform sorceries like “Slippery Magic” and other sorceries that were not very powerful, but could avoid the attacks with dexterity.
Algae has been fighting with the roots since the beginning, and now it is also tearing into a ball, but it looks like a ball of weeds, not much momentum.
By the time the root whiskers were all pretty much chopped off, Shia still hadn’t been able to hurt Sol’s side, and was a little annoyed, and finally realized why Sol wasn’t afraid of his threats.
With the Dark Spirit Blade, Sol was simply the nemesis of the plant department.
In the end, Shia could only watch Saul leave, furious.
It was as if there was no deal at all between them!
