Chapter 1166: Puppet Show

Of course, although Xia De issued the order verbally, given that this cat might not understand human language, or rather could only understand very simple commands, Xia De shot silver moonlight toward the dragon's direction and let two Major Arcana cards lead the way in front.

Such an obvious instruction, the cat could certainly understand; after all, it often chased the light from Xia De's fingertips for fun at home. So, Mia immediately carried Xia De and chased after it, stepped on the forest and entered the city, knocked down the building models of the city venue, climbed to the top of the tallest building, and squatted on it, looking from afar at the "dragon" circling above the castle.

This cat showed its rare "ferocity" and combativeness at this moment. After all, although it was timid on weekdays, it was never afraid of creatures smaller than or close to its body size. Although that dragon was capable of flying and was made of wood, it was still within the range of little Mia's "not afraid" list.

For Mia's entry, the dragon-riding puppet was not angry, but rather happy. It said loudly to Xia De:

"Cat-riding knight, this moment is our final battle. The dragon-riding demon king issues a challenge to you, for the sake of everything, launch an attack on me! If you lose, I will destroy the city!"

"Don't call me the cat-riding knight!"

Xia De shouted, but the puppet didn't care at all:

"I know the church calls me a Sage-level Relic, so do you know, are my abilities only these? If you lose, I will really destroy the city!"

Xia De still didn't know the characteristics of this Relic, only knowing it could hold puppet shows, so he didn't talk nonsense with it at this moment. Riding Mia, he pounced toward the high place of the castle. Although the castle was very high for a palm-sized puppet, it was only a pounce's distance for Mia.

Xia De didn't know the puppet's other characteristics, but Miss Bernice knew:

"This is bad."

The witch kneeling on the paper cards patted her forehead with her palm, and sighed in Miss Lasers' worried eyes:

"I hope this time, it won't cause too much of a stir."

Outside the Wang Erde Opera House, the gray, gloomy winter sky of Randall Valley City didn't affect people's moods. The peaceful city operated as usual. On the third floor of the City's Seer Association, Luweiya held a teacup and stood by the office window talking with a lady who also had brown hair:

"President Angi, has this city always been this peaceful? I've been here for two days, and it feels very different from the busy Tobesk."

The local eleventh-ring sorcerer of Randall Valley City, President Kalida Angi, also held a teacup and looked at the city outside the window:

"Although the cult of the evil god Stone Heart Demon has been secretly active locally since last spring, the public security of Randall Valley City is famously good, and the crime rate here is relatively low in the entire Kingdom of Karsenrick. Annat, you are a guest from afar and a key cultivation seer of the next generation of the association, but don't be busy with work all the time these days, you can walk around the city. Before that strange cult that is not easily remembered, we haven't..."

Before the female sorcerer finished speaking, whisper elements swept over like a shockwave. Without any preparation from the two seers, the gray thick fog in the sky changed shape. In the astonished gaze of the two, a huge gray cloud turned into a dragon and a puppet boy riding the dragon; another huge gray cloud turned into a giant cat and a man riding the giant cat.

The originally gray sky was completely covered by black fog of unknown origin, and in an instant, it was as if Randall Valley had arrived at night. The gray-fog dragon circled over the city, while the giant cat with a ring on its tail crouched on the roof of the Karsenrick Kingdom Bank not far away.

The clouds and fog had no sound, and the two rushed toward each other silently. At the moment of crossing in the air, the giant cat's claws hit the terrifying dragon accurately and ruthlessly, while the gray-fog sphere spat from the dragon's mouth was blocked by the square "shield" in front of the giant cat knight.

The huge wind pressure formed by the gray-fog aftermath swept toward the city like a storm. If the cat knight hadn't blocked but dodged just now, this blow would likely have destroyed an entire block.

The first clash between the two, the cat-riding knight side had the advantage. The gray-fog dragon circled in the sky again, and the gray-fog 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, Angi and Luweiya, who were watching this scene, could fully imagine the sounds of "Roar!" and "Meow woo!"

Clang!

Luweiya's teacup fell at some point, black tea poured onto the floor, and also stained the shoe surface of her cloth boots. The dragon, puppet, cat, and knight formed by gray fog were all very blurry, and details couldn't be seen, but in one event, "cat," "knight," and "ring on the tail" were involved at the same time. How could she not know what had happened.

The president of the Seer Association on the side was shocked:

"What's going on? Could it be the Relic that the Church of Creation is tracking that turns people into puppets?"

While speaking, the dragon spat out the gray-fog sphere again, but was dodged by the pouncing giant cat, and then blocked by the flying shield again. The dragon and cat crossed in the air again, the "fierce" giant cat's claws and the dragon's claws tore at each other, but clearly the cat's speed was faster, tearing off the dragon's front claw. And the boy puppet's hammer was first hit by the gray-fog spear thrown by the cat knight, and then the puppet-model-shaped greatsword swept across, and the suspender-pants boy's puppet was swept off the dragon's back.

The next second, it was silent again, the scene of "Dragon Battles Evil Cat" in the air disappeared completely, and the black clouds covering the sky also dispersed, as if everything just now was just an illusion. The scene just now lasted for less than half a minute, plus the sun was blocked making the vision very dim, and the violent wind made people unable to open their eyes, so there shouldn't be many citizens who saw the "fight" above the city. Tomorrow's newspaper would probably announce that this was a short-term local bad weather phenomenon.

Luweiya was still looking at the sky in shock, completely unable to understand what Xia De, who should have visited the witch on this winter afternoon, was doing. President Angi had already taken out her seer deck, hurriedly shuffled the cards, and drew five cards:

"It is indeed a Relic related to puppets."

Luweiya heard the sound and hurriedly looked at her, but wasn't very worried that she could divine Xia De's identity.

Sure enough, the president of the Randall Valley City Seer Association, this quite prestigious seer, also got an answer that was difficult to understand with the next four seer cards:

"The sorcerer involved just now... hmm? Related to butterflies, princesses, unicorns, and the earth?"

(Little Mia running...)

Wang Erde Opera House, third-floor box.

"I won!"

The opera in the performance hall hadn't ended yet. Amidst the soprano's singing, puppet Xia De's Moonlight Greatsword knocked down the child puppet on the dragon's back. He followed and jumped off the cat's back, holding the Moonlight Greatsword with both hands and striking downward, piercing the puppet's body upon landing.

Then, only a "poof~" sound was heard, and a large cloud of thick white smoke rose in the box, wrapping the model venue.

Not only Xia De on the ground, but even Miss Lasers and Miss Bernice at the high place couldn't see anything at this moment.

And when the smoke dispersed, Miss Lasers and Miss Bernice, who had recovered to normal human size, actually found themselves sitting on the sofa in the box. The model venue on the ground had disappeared, only on the other side of the coffee table, the tall puppet theater was standing quietly. The red curtain of the theater was open, and that puppet wearing blue suspender pants was standing inside, supporting the puppet theater with both hands, its two little legs swinging impatiently.

The background behind it was the castle just now, only the background was all stick-figure stickers, appearing exceptionally comical.

And even more comical was that the puppet was currently wearing a sling on one arm, and its head was also wrapped in bandages, looking like it was seriously injured. Miss Lasers hurriedly looked around:

"Where is Mr. Hamilton?"

"Hamilton? I just wanted to ask, isn't it John Watson?"

Miss Bernice looked at her suspiciously, and then both heard Xia De's voice:

"Oh, Mia, let go of me!"

Looking down, they noticed the cat that had helped a lot just now was standing on the coffee table, and the cat's two little claws were hugging Xia De's puppet. Mia lowered her head, staring at puppet Xia De with amber eyes, as if wanting to figure out how he had become this way.

"Mia, if you dare to lick me, I swear I'll let you know that I can get angry too!"

Xia De warned his cat loudly, but this didn't make the cat let go, instead making the cat show a hint of grievance. Xia De didn't understand why he could see such rich humanized expressions on Mia after he became smaller.

The puppet on the puppet theater, although it lost, was still humming in a good mood:

"The cat-riding outsider knight finally defeated the dragon-riding demon king. Thus, he won the hearts of the princess and the maid, and from then on with them..."

"Meow~"

Mia, staring at Xia De, meowed, as if considering how to check Xia De at this moment. And this meow also reminded the puppet, so it changed its words:

"The cat-riding outsider knight defeated the demon king, won the hearts of the princess and the maid, and from then on lived happily ever after with his loyal cat, the princess, and the maid. This is really a very good story!"

It applauded by itself. Listening to its tone, although it lost itself, it indeed felt this was a quite good story.

"Wait a minute, why have they all recovered to normal, but I haven't recovered to normal!"

Xia De protested loudly.

"You need to let your cat move away. The Ring of Metamorphosis on its tail can realize the transformation of life forms, but it also resists and affects the transformation of other life forms. It is by your side, I am worried that when I restore you, your body will be affected by this Relic."

The puppet said with a grin, very happy to see Xia De's embarrassment at this moment.

"Oh, Miss Lasers, help me quickly."

The young lady then endured her laughter to hug the cat, but was rudely pushed away by the cat with its claws.

"Return the ring to it!"

Xia De reminded again. Miss Lasers was stunned for a moment before thinking of the Ring of Fish Training on her finger.

Although she didn't know why Xia De used the word "return," she still took off the ring and handed it to the cat.

The cat's tail shook nimbly, passing through the ring. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Miss Lasers finally hugged the cat up from the coffee table.

And Miss Bernice frowned slightly looking at this scene, as if she had encountered something she couldn't understand.
