Chapter Ninety-Seven: Negligence or Intentionality
In order to prove that he is indeed capable of helping Dodge clean up the pollution, Saul first demonstrates how to use soul fishing to suck the contamination from evil spirits.
However, he kept a hand and did not clean up the contamination.
He also didn't want to reveal all his strength, especially when the old witch was still around.
Seeing Thor helping to remove the contamination from the evil spirits, Dodge was somewhat convinced that the other party could indeed remove the contamination.
This time, he didn't hesitate any longer, and even took the initiative to take out the contract scroll.
In Dodge's opinion, while Thor can't get rid of all the pollution from his bodyβthat's what he knowsβif he reduces the pollution to half, he'll be able to buy him another twenty years.
As long as he can advance to the second rank in these twenty years, he can rely on himself to suppress his own pollution.
What's more, the conditions of the exchange also include cryptocrystalline. With cryptocrystalline, Dodge has a greater chance of being promoted to the second order.
After Dodge signed the contract, he didn't talk nonsense and immediately went back to pack his things.
Three days later, they met at the same location.
In this meeting, Thor directly helped Dodge suck up about four-fifths of the pollution. The rest of the pollution is faint and not very evenly distributed in the Dodge spirit.
After closing the deal, Thor hands the cryptocrystalline to Dodge.
Dodge suppressed the excitement on his face, took the cryptocrystalline and carefully tucked it into his own eye sockets.
Apparently, he also knew how to preserve cryptocrystalline.
Dodge didn't care about half of his face, and finally looked at Thor and the short second order beside him, as well as the ordinary person with a face full of mushrooms behind him, and laughed lightly: "Thank you for keeping the contract and completing the transaction." Next, I will leave the Rhine, and as for the rules on the lake, you will have to figure it out on your own. β
Thor didn't speak, just nodded at the diary in his mind, which was as quiet as if he was sleeping.
"No problem."
Such a happy answer made the old witch on the side a little dissatisfied.
However, she suddenly remembered that when they signed the contract three days ago, the other party only agreed to give up the Rhine, and did not attach the matter of informing the lake of the rules, and no matter how dissatisfied she was, she had to give up.
"Isn't this Thor smart? Why didn't you find a loophole in the contract this time? β
Thinking that he was cheated by the other party, he had to cooperate with him temporarily, and now Thor seems to be cheated by Dodge.
This made the old witch feel complicated.
It's cool, it's not cool.
Dodge returns to the lake and puts away his white feathers.
As soon as the feathers leave the lake, they shrink and become the size of a normal quill.
"I'll take this with me, although it's useless, but after carrying me for so many years, I'm still quite reluctant."
Thor is indispensable.
"Good luck, then." Dodge was relaxed and refreshed, waved the feather in his hand to say goodbye, then turned and flew into the air and left quickly.
Thor noticed that as the man left, a layer of sorcery shield suddenly popped up on his body. Apparently fearing that Thor would make a move on him after the deal was completed.
Thor touched his chin and thought.
Seeing that Thor hadn't moved for a long time, the old witch said impatiently, "Don't you go in yet?" What are you rubbing? β
Thor then turned around slowly, "If you go in, you have to go in." I've just discovered a problem though. β
"What?"
"We agreed in the contract that we could not deliberately leave traps on the island in the middle of the lake, and we also agreed on a lot of rules to prevent the other party from playing tricks in the transaction. But we didn't say what to do after the deal was completed. β
The old witch didn't think it was a big deal, "The time period after the transaction is completed is infinite, how can he behave with you for such a long time?" β
"But we could have added a time convention. For example, there is no reversal within one year after the completion of the transaction. β
The old witch scoffed, "Huh, now remembered? What were you thinking before signing the contract? And you also forgot to let the other person tell you something as important as the rules. Where did all my wisdom go? β
Thor glanced at the old witch helplessly, "He didn't make the rules either. Accepting someone else's answer directly is likely to deprive me of the opportunity to get in touch with the essence. β
The old witch rolled her eyes, thinking that Thor was just hard-mouthed.
"Let's not mention this first. Did you notice that he put a shield on himself as he left? Thor asked.
"It seems that he, like you, only remembered that after signing the contract, he remembered that he lacked the security when the transaction was completed."
Thor was still rubbing his chin, "But how do I think he thought that after the deal was completed, he should have made an agreement not to attack each other within the time limit?" After all, he guarded the Rhine, but he had used it as a market to trade resentful spirits. Such a person who often needs to sign a contract forgets the last guarantee...... It always feels like it's deliberate. β
"Deliberately what?" The old witch actually thought of something vaguely, but she didn't bother to continue thinking about it, so she asked casually.
"Deliberately waiting for the transaction to be completed, and then regretting it."
The old witch smiled and crossed her waist, with her size, without looking at her face, it was a very cute action.
"Then you don't have to be afraid, if he dares to repent, I will let him have no return!"
The old witch had become more and more accustomed to her work as a guard.
Thor decides not to remind her of this, lest the other party become angry.
"Let's go in first. At the very least, before the other party comes back, you must have a general understanding of the rules here. β
The old witch immediately flew up, "Then what are you waiting for?" β
Thor said helplessly: "Actually, I guess that if you want to enter the island in the middle of the lake, you can't fly, you have to take a carrier and row across the lake." β
The old witch rolled her eyes, but this time she was not reckless.
Thor raised his hand and tapped his neck, and a black vine flew out, quickly weaving a raft.
The raft floats steadily on the surface of the lake.
When Thor and the old witch stepped onto the raft, several tentacles emerged from the corners of the raft and began to paddle like oars.
"You're ugly." The old witch muttered.
She remembered the rules that Thor had just discovered, and kept her eyes on the front.
Thor tapped the raft with his toes, "It's not as elegant as the feathers of a Dodge wizard, but it's fully automatic, and you don't have to waste magic." β
"Full? Automatic? The old witch pouted, "You can always come up with some strange things. β
"Don't worry about the details." Thor looked ahead.
Algae rowed very fast, and he could already faintly see the island in the middle of the lake in the gray mist.
Although he is about to have a place of his own in the Borderlands, he can't afford to take it lightly until all the troubles are resolved.
"Once you're on the island, you must build the Wizard Tower as soon as possible!"
β¦β¦
After Dodge leaves Lake Rhine, he flies carefully in the Borderlands for three days, avoiding danger all the way to a withered wood.
In the middle of this yellow woodland is a huge tree, and a gorgeous wooden house has been built on it.
Whether it is the ridge or eaves, there are strings of milky white wind chimes hanging from them.
It's just strange that when the breeze blows, the wind chimes sway with the wind and don't make a sound.
Dodge cautiously walked to the bottom of the treehouse, took out the same dream bell from his bosom, and said loudly, "Dear Dream Maker. I've found a new Nightmare Butterfly for you! β
"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ...... Jingle ......"
"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ...... Jingle ......"
"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ...... Jingle ......"
All the milky white wind chimes rang in an instant.
The crisp and pleasant sound suddenly resounded through the world.
