Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 52 Korin Tower, the Cat Sage

Shortly after Talot and the other two left, Bulma came downstairs from her small room.

Upon learning that the three had left, she almost lost her temper again.

Thankfully, Tais was there, which calmed the little girl down.

If Tarot were still alive, he would be amazed that five-year-old Bulma already had ideas about the Dragon Ball Radar.

The reason she was in such a hurry was to tell her older brother Talot that she could create a device to find the Dragon Balls.

Then, once she's finished building it, I'll take her with me to find the Dragon Balls.

……

As they sped through the sky, Talot, Gine, and Serari chatted.

There's no doubt that Gine is now finding Talot somewhat hard to understand.

Seraphim is alright, because she doesn't think that much yet. After all, she's only six years old, and even if her emotions are rich, they won't be too complicated.

"Talot, since the Dragon Balls are so important, shouldn't we just take them?" Gine asked.

In the past, people would definitely have kept this for themselves.

"Aunt Gine, even if we take that Dragon Ball now, it won't really make much of a difference. It's better to leave it in the hands of little Bulma. She'll probably be very interested in making wishes with the Dragon Ball, and maybe she and her father Brief will even develop something like the Dragon Ball radar."

"Furthermore, we can now ask Kami if he can help us find the other six Dragon Balls. If he can do it directly, then we won't need to search for the Dragon Balls."

Talott had anticipated Gine's question and answered it.

This was also part of his plan.

Although he didn't know if Kami had the ability to directly locate the exact position of the Dragon Balls, based on some speculations, he might be able to.

In short, it's also to inform the gods that they are aware of the Dragon Balls and that they will need to use them to summon Shenron and make a wish.

"That old guy seems very polite to us, but he's actually scheming in every way. I even doubt whether he's actually helping us find Kakarot, or even if he'll help us find the Dragon Balls." Serari's sudden remark startled both Gine and Talot.

It must be said that Serena sometimes makes some very reasonable points.

Even Talot was wondering if that old guy, the Celestial, had already found Kakarot, but he hadn't said anything.

Even if we can't find the people, we can always find the spaceship, right?

If they really wanted to search, they couldn't have missed even the landing site of the spacecraft.

Gine took a deep breath, trying her best to suppress her emotions.

Choosing to believe in the gods was Tarot's decision.

"As a god of Earth, it's normal for him to be wary of us outsiders. In short, as long as we don't break off relations, he's being polite, and we can't force him to do anything reckless."

"We are no longer Saiyans who can only survive by invading or seizing resources! The past era ended with the explosion of Planet Vegeta! The truth is unknown, but a civilization that develops with the aim of aggression can never last long!"

"Regardless of whether this Namekian Kami is genuinely trying to help us find Goku, or whether he will help us find the Dragon Balls, as long as he doesn't stand in our way, he's not our enemy! At least we're on Earth, and Earth is their territory."

Talot spoke up.

He couldn't speak up for Sky God Piccolo, but he also couldn't let Gine and Serarra attack Sky God Piccolo.

In short, he could probably understand the thinking of the gods.

If he were a god, he would react the same way to an uncontrollable alien intruder.

Just like how the Saiyans faced Frieza's arrival.

After hearing Talot's words, Gine and Serari said no more.

Over the past six months, Tarot has explained a lot of principles to them, making them realize that Tarot is fundamentally different from the vast majority of Saiyans.

We will not invade others, nor will we do anything that is morally reprehensible.

In reality, no one likes invasion and destruction. Even though Saiyans love fighting and enjoy the thrill of battle, not all Saiyans are truly wicked.

There are always exceptions, but such exceptions could not survive in the Saiyan race of the past.

It was the difference in the times that made it possible. In the context of the vast universe, if the Saiyans were merciful, they would be a sharp knife that could wipe out their entire race.

……

Heading westward, we crossed a continent and then a sea.

Finally, they arrived at the great forest below the location of the Temple of the Gods.

Because it was a low-altitude flight, it was completely different from when we left the Temple of the Gods.

The reason for this was naturally purposeful: to find Kalinta.

From afar, Talot could already see with his naked eye a pillar standing upright on the earth, towering into the clouds, incredibly magnificent.

Such a magnificent building, I really don't know who built it. Only in the Dragon Ball world could such a building exist.

Gine and Serarrie weren't particularly curious about this kind of architecture.

Perhaps they've seen too many things on Earth, which has made them somewhat numb.

Flying upwards along the stone pillar, the three reached the top of Kalin Tower in less than a minute.

It's very high, but only for ordinary people and martial artists on Earth.

For Talot and his two companions, even if they flew up to the Temple of the Gods, it wouldn't take more than a minute.

Upon reaching the top of the tower, Talot was the first to stop, and Gine and Serari naturally followed suit.

"Brother Talot, there's a really big white cat!" A surprised exclamation made Talot and Gine look towards the stone pillar on one side of the tower's interior.

Isn't that the Cat Master?

At this moment, the cat sage was in a state of fear and horror.

Although it wasn't outwardly apparent, he was genuinely panicked.

God knows these three terrifying alien beings actually sought him out.

"Um, welcome to Kalin Tower. You three guests from outer space, I am the owner of this Kalin Tower. You can call me Kalin the Sage, or you can call me the Cat Sage."

The cat sage groomed his fur with one paw and leaned on his scepter with the other, stepping forward to greet Talot and his group.

"A cat sage?" Serari's eyes sparkled; she was clearly charmed by the fluffy cat sage.

Such a gaze made the cat sage feel extremely uncomfortable, yet he was helpless to do anything about it.

To think that he, a dignified immortal, is now being called a cat...

Fearing he might upset the visitor, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

"Earth is really strange, it has both gods and immortals, but aren't immortals gods too?" Gine said casually.

These words made the cat sage even more embarrassed, and he could only explain, "There is still a difference between me, a sage, and the heavenly god."

"Oh, what's the difference?" Upon hearing Gine's question, the cat sage couldn't take it anymore and broke out in a sweat.

Because he didn't know how to explain it.

"It must be related to authority, right?" Talot said, trying to help the cat sage out of the predicament.
