Of course, although Shade gave verbal commands, considering that the cat might not understand human language, or could only understand very simple commands, Shade shot silver moonlight in the direction of the dragon and let two Vientiane cards lead the way.
Of course the cat could understand such an obvious instruction, after all, it often chased the light from Shade's fingertips when it was at home. So Mia immediately took Shade to chase after it, stepped into the city through the forest, knocked down the building model of the city site, climbed up the tallest building, squatted on it, and looked at the "dragon" hovering above the castle from a distance.
The cat showed its rare ferocity and aggressiveness at this moment. After all, although it was usually very timid, it was never afraid of creatures smaller than it or close to it. Although the dragon could fly and was made of wood, it was still on Xiaomia's list of "not afraid of" creatures.
The puppet riding the dragon was not angry about Mia's entrance, but was very happy. It said loudly to Shade:
"Knight of the cat, this is our final battle. The demon king of the dragon challenges you. For everything, attack me! If you lose, I will destroy the city!"
"Don't call me a knight on a cat!"
Shade yelled, but the puppet didn't care at all:
"I know the church calls me a sage-level relic, but do you think that's all I have? If you lose, I will really destroy the city!"
Xia De still didn't know the characteristics of this relic, but he knew that it could hold a puppet show, so he didn't waste time talking to it at this moment, and rode Mia to the top of the castle. Although the castle was very high for a palm-sized puppet, it was only a leap away for Mia.
Shade didn't know the other characteristics of the puppet, but Miss Benanis did. In order to confirm her condition, Lathers handed over the fish training ring:
“That’s terrible.”
The witch kneeling on the cards slapped her forehead with her palm and sighed in the worried eyes of Miss Lathers:
"I hope this time, it won't cause too much noise."
Outside the Wilde Opera House, the gray winter sky in Randall Valley did not affect people's mood. The peaceful city was running as usual. On the third floor of the Prophet's Association in the city center, Luvia was holding a teacup and talking with a lady with brown hair standing by the office window:
"President Angie, has this city always been this peaceful? I've been here for two days now, and I feel like this place is really different from the busy Tobesk."
The president of the 11th Ring Warlock in Randall Valley, Ms. Khalida Angie, was also holding a cup of tea and looking out the window at the city:
"Although the cult of the evil god Stoneheart has been operating secretly in the local area since last spring, the public security in Randall Valley City is well-known to be good, and the crime rate here is relatively low in the entire Carsenrick Kingdom. Annat, you are a guest from afar, and you are the next generation of fortune tellers that the association is training, but you should not be busy with work these days, you can take a walk around the city. While we have not yet contacted that strange and difficult to remember cult..."
Before the sorceress finished her words, the whispering element swept over like a shock wave. Without any preparation on the part of the two prophets, the gray fog in the sky changed its shape. As the two watched in amazement, a huge gray cloud turned into a giant dragon and a puppet boy riding a dragon; another huge gray cloud turned into a giant cat and a man riding a giant cat.
The originally grey sky was completely covered by black fog of unknown origin, and in an instant it seemed as if the Randall Valley had already entered night. The grey fog dragon hovered over the city, and the giant cat with a ring on its tail was perched on the roof of the Carsenrick Kingdom Bank not far away.
There was no sound in the clouds and mist. The two of them rushed towards each other silently. At the moment they crossed in the air, the giant cat's claws hit the terrifying dragon steadily and accurately. The gray mist ball spewed from the dragon's mouth was blocked by the square "shield" in front of the giant cat knight.
The huge wind pressure created by the aftermath of the gray fog swept towards the city like a storm. If the cat knight had dodged instead of blocking, this attack would probably have destroyed an entire city block.
In the first clash between the two, the cat-riding knight had the upper hand. The gray mist dragon circled in the sky again, and the gray mist giant cat landed on the roof again. The dragon opened its mouth, and the giant cat also opened its mouth. Although there was no sound, Ms. Angie and Luvia, who were watching this scene, could fully imagine the sounds of "roar!" and "meow!"
clang!
Luvia's teacup fell down at some point, and the tea spilled onto the floor, soaking the surface of her cloth boots. The dragon, puppet, cat, and knight made of gray fog were all very blurry, and the details were unclear, but the incident involved "cat", "knight", and "ring on the tail" at the same time, so how could she not know what happened
The president of the Prophet Association was shocked:
"What's going on? Is this the relic that the Church of Creation is looking for that turns people into puppets?"
As he spoke, the dragon spit out a ball of gray mist again, but it was dodged by the giant cat that jumped up, and then blocked by the flying shield again. The dragon and the cat crossed each other in the air again, and the claws of the "ferocious" giant cat and the claws of the dragon tore each other apart, but the cat was obviously faster and tore off the dragon's front claws. The boy puppet's hammer was first hit by the gray mist spear thrown by the cat knight, and then the puppet model in the shape of a giant sword swept across, and the puppet of the boy in overalls was swept off the dragon's back by the giant sword.
The next second, there was silence again. The scene of the "dragon fighting the evil cat" in the sky completely disappeared, and the dark clouds covering the sky also dispersed, as if everything just now was just an illusion. The scene just now lasted less than half a minute. In addition, the sun was blocked, making the vision very dim, and the violent wind made it impossible to open the eyes. Therefore, there should not be many citizens who saw the "fight" above the city. Tomorrow's newspapers will probably announce that this is a short-term local severe weather phenomenon.
Luvia was still looking at the sky in shock, totally unable to understand what Shade was doing when he was supposed to visit the witch on this winter afternoon. President Angie had already taken out his divination deck, shuffled it hastily, and drew five cards:
"It is indeed a relic related to puppets."
Luvia heard the voice and hurriedly looked at her, but she was not very worried that she could divine Shade's identity.
Sure enough, the president of the Prophet Association of Randall Valley City, a well-known fortune teller, also used the next four fortune-telling cards to get a very difficult to understand answer:
"That ring wizard thing... huh? Something about butterflies, princesses, unicorns, and the earth?"
(Little Mia is running...)
Oscar Wilde Opera House, third floor box.
“I won!”
The opera in the performance hall had not yet ended, and in the soprano's voice, the puppet Shade's moonlight sword knocked down the child puppet on the dragon's back. He then jumped off the cat's back, holding the moonlight sword in both hands and striking downwards, piercing the puppet's body when he landed.
Then, there was a puff sound, and a large amount of thick white smoke rose up in the box, covering the model venue.
Not only Shad on the ground, but even Miss Lathers and Miss Benannis who were high up could not see anything at this moment.
When the smoke cleared, Miss Lathers and Miss Benanis, who had returned to their normal size, found themselves sitting on the sofa in the box. The model venue on the ground had disappeared, but on the other side of the coffee table, the tall puppet stage was standing quietly. The red curtain of the stage was open, and the puppet in blue suspenders was standing inside, supporting the puppet stage with his hands, and his legs were shaking impatiently.
The background behind it is the castle just now, but the background is all stick figures, which looks particularly funny.
What was even funnier was that the puppet had one hand in a sling and a bandage on its head, looking seriously injured. Miss Lathers looked around hurriedly:
"Where's Mr. Hamilton?"
"Hamilton? I was just about to ask, isn't it John Watson?"
Miss Benanis looked at her suspiciously, and then they both heard Shade's voice:
"Oh, Mia, let me go!"
Looking down, she noticed that the cat that had helped her just now was standing on the coffee table, and the cat's two little paws were holding Shade's puppet. Mia lowered her head and stared at the puppet Shade with wide amber eyes, as if she wanted to understand how he became like this.
"Mia, if you dare to lick me, I swear I'll let you know and I'll be angry too!"
Shade warned his cat loudly, but this did not make the cat let it go. Instead, it showed a slightly aggrieved expression. Shade did not understand why after he became smaller, he saw Mia had such a rich human expression.
Although the puppet on the puppet show lost, it was still in a good mood and hummed:
"The foreign knight riding a cat finally defeated the demon king riding a dragon. As a result, he won the hearts of the princess and the maid, and from then on he lived with them..."
"Meow~"
Mia stared at Shade and called out, as if she was considering how to check on Shade at this moment. This call also reminded the puppet, so it changed its words:
"The foreign knight riding a cat defeated the devil and won the hearts of the princess and the maid. From then on, he lived happily with the princess and the maid with his loyal cat. This is really a good story!"
It clapped its hands on its own, and judging by its tone, even though it lost, it felt that this was indeed a pretty good story.
"Wait a minute, why are they all back to normal, but I'm not!"
Shade protested loudly.
"You need to get your cat out of the way. The Transformation Ring on its tail can achieve the transformation of life forms, but it can also resist and affect the transformation of other life forms. It's by your side, and I'm worried that when I restore you, your body will be affected by this relic."
The puppet said with a grin, happy to see Shade's embarrassment at the moment.
"Oh, Miss Lathers, help me."
The young girl tried to hold back her laughter and tried to hug the cat, but the cat rudely pushed her away with its claws.
"Give it the ring back!"
Shade reminded her again, and Miss Lathers was stunned for a moment before she remembered the fish training ring. Although she didn't know why Shade used the word "return", she still took the ring back from Miss Benanis and handed it to the cat.
The cat's tail swung flexibly and passed through the ring. Taking this opportunity, Miss Lathers finally picked up the cat from the coffee table. Miss Benanis frowned slightly as she watched this scene, as if she had encountered something incomprehensible.
