Chapter 762 – The Unseen Vision
Chapter 762 – A Vision That Couldn’t Be Found
There was a big reason why Saul chose to track down the squire on the airship, besides the fact that he was indeed interested in the white porcelain kitten.
Krum’s death was very similar to that of Trader Mike.
They were again the only two corpses that Saul had seen within a month, so Saul was very impressed with them.
Both men had drowned.
A third-ranked sorcerer didn’t escape the call of death, as did an ordinary man.
And both of them lost their souls in death.
As Saul searched for their consciousness, both heard the sound of water.
This, coupled with the words of Paul, the third-level sorcerer apprentice on the airship, who had warned Saul that white porcelain kittens could cause people to drown, allowed Saul to link the two dead together.
Since it was already close to dusk, there were few pedestrians on the streets.
The people who occasionally passed by were all sorcerer apprentices.
These people looked hurried and tired, like office workers.
Saul also had the illusion that he had returned to the Golsa Sorcerer’s Tower.
He continued to hide his aura and magic power fluctuations and walked along the edge of the street like an ordinary person.
The pointing stone that Kate had left along the way was rough, but it didn’t have any magic power, and in the eyes of the sorcerer apprentices on the street, it was just the most inconspicuous stone.
Saul didn’t have to walk for long before he found the squire’s residence in a small alley near the empty harbor.
It was an old but independent two-story small building. Perhaps it was to cater to the overall decoration style of Sky City. Even such an old house had teal-colored walls and sauce-colored roof ridges painted on the outside.
It looked less shabby.
But even so, it didn’t look like a house that a squire could own.
Saul noticed that there was only the scent of one living person in the two-story hut.
The squire lived alone.
Saul looked up and saw the orange cat sprawled on the ridge.
He smiled at the orange cat, then jumped right in through the half-open window on the second floor.
The room where the window was located was none other than the squire’s bedroom, and the squire also happened to be drumming on something in his bedroom at the moment.
Even though he was facing the window, it was as if he was blind, and he completely failed to notice a soft body that squeezed in through the crack of the window that was only half-opened.
As Saul entered, the orange cat jumped in noiselessly as well, a step behind.
The two were plainly present without attracting the squire’s attention.
Saul stepped forward and came to the side of the squire who had been looking down at something, and suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on the back of the other’s head.
The squire immediately collapsed without warning.
“Lord Saul, you’re not interrogating him?”
“Trouble, I’d rather just watch.”
After Saul finished speaking, his entire body seemed to be fixed in place.
Kate gave him a look and didn’t dare to move.
What the orange cat didn’t know was that Saul had entered the squire’s dream world by now.
Despite being knocked out by Saul, with the Nightmare Butterfly operating, the squire was still honestly dreaming.
His dream was very real.
Saul looked at it twice, and it was probably about buying airships after getting rich overnight and reprimanding those high-ranking squires, guards, maids, captains, and others who were usually high up in the hierarchy.
All of these people fall on their knees in front of the squire and kiss his toes.
“Had enough enjoyment, have you? Think back to something useful.”
Saul waved his hand and the scene in front of him changed.
The attendant returned to this room, but the room was filled with white porcelain kittens. The eyes of these kittens were also white. They were not painted red.
Not exactly like the ones Saul had seen at Mike the Trader’s.
The squire hadn’t recovered from the beautiful dream he’d just had, and froze for a moment before remembering where he was.
He still retained the excitement he had just felt, though.
“Work hard, keep working hard, I’ll soon be able to buy an airship with the money I’ve saved!”
He dug under the bed and dragged a small bottle out of it, filled with red paint of unknown composition.
He opened the bottle, dipped a brush into a slight amount of paint with one hand, picked up a white porcelain kitten without red eyes with the other, and carefully painted all the eye parts of the kitten red.
Saul noticed that once the squire had painted the kitten’s eyes red, he would very carefully pinch the kitten’s body and place them in the cupboard at the foot of the bed. And by now the cabinet was filled with a dozen or so white porcelain kittens with red painted eyes.
Saul walked up and picked up one of the white porcelain kittens without painted eyes.
The details of the dream told Saul that these were indeed poorly crafted items.
He lifted another kitten with red painted eyes, and there was nothing unusual about either the paint or the kitten.
Saul even stroked the white porcelain kitten’s head, as Mike the merchant had done.
But he still felt nothing, and no luck happened.
“Is it because my strength is not something that the white porcelain cat can influence, or is this place just a dream realm, and the other party is not a real body that can influence the things of the people in the dream?”
Saul put the white porcelain kitten back, and the entire time the squire didn’t react.
“It’s not right here either.” Saul waved his hand again, “This since the moment that excited him the most was not right, what about the moment that scared him the most?”
The squire’s dream turned into several frightening scenes. Like falling into the water, or an airship exploding.
But all of these dreams were devoid of any unusual events.
“Quite clean then.” Saul waved his hand once more, “Show me what the most memorable day was like for you.”
This time, Saul joined the squire on the street.
The streets here were unfamiliar, the few streets Saul had passed through today didn’t look like this.
The most unusual building was a broken tower not far away.
The top of the tower was crumbling bricks and expended beams.
Beneath the broken tower stood an older boy, looking fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in the plainest of sorcerer’s apprentice robes, the bottom edges of which were even furred.
But the squire ran over to him at once.
Thor followed the squire like a spirit behind him.
He heard the squire say to the boy, “I’m running out of goods.”
The boy, however, said with a blank face, “You are not to come over until I call you. It happens one more time, and we terminate our partnership.”
“No more, no more, I will never take the initiative to look for you again.”
The boy did not make things difficult for the attendant, and never seemed to have any expectations of the attendant.
“Behave, or I can replace you at any time.”
The squire nodded repeatedly.
The boy turned to leave, and in the end did not produce anything that looked like the “goods” the squire had been talking about, rather principled.
Thor wanted to follow the boy, but this was the squire’s dream, and the boy’s form began to fade as he reached the edge of the street.
Just as Saul considered whether the boy was the one he was looking for ……
“Grrrr …… grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ……”
He suddenly heard the sound of water bubbling again.
In an instant, Saul’s eyes changed.
“Found you.”
Saul exited the squire’s dream.
The squire was still face down on his bed huffing and puffing.
“Lord Saul, did you find what you were looking for?”
“Let’s just say that we’ve led another small fish with a small shrimp, and it’s not clear if this one is the culprit. But a sorcerer’s apprentice doesn’t look like someone who can master a white porcelain kitten.”
“Does that require me to search the house again?”
Saul shook his head.
“The owner of the kitten is very good at hiding traces, he will even erase the abnormal information of the white porcelain kitten from one’s consciousness. If it were anyone else, I’m afraid that no matter how you trace it, you can only find out that the White Porcelain Kitten is just an ordinary artifact. All information related to its visions have all been erased.”
Sol clasped his hands together.
“Interesting, since we can’t find it using high-level methods, let’s just use the most primitive method.”
“Meow?” Kate hadn’t understood.
“Like when you carved shapes out of the most common stones to show me the way. Such people who are invisible on a sorcerous level are often visible to the naked eye.”
