Vol 5 Chapter 215: Cat city

"Demon Hunting College (
Like Zheng Qing, shortly after entering the magic mirror passage, Xiao Xiao also separated from the companion in front of him.
But unlike Zheng Qing, Xiao Xiao didn't have a chance to turn around and hug the companion behind him-because before that, the unreliable captain behind him had already let go.
So he can only fall into the dream world alone.
Fortunately, the place where Xiao Xiao fell was a large river with gentle water. He didn't even waste the spells copied in the book, he just waved his arms and scratched the water, and then swam ashore from the river.
When he stood on the shore, took off his robe, and wrung out the heavy water stains on his robe, the surrounding environment had all come to his mind.
This is a river valley with hills full of bushes and small farmland behind him, and the big river he just swam ashore in front of him. The river is level, clear and blue, and a touch of golden scale light spreads from upstream to downstream. White waves float on the water, solidifying in the river water.
From a distance, it seemed that someone had stripped off a section of the sky and dropped it in this valley, forming this river.
There is a small town across the river.
The city wall is not high, overlooking the roofs of the city and the pedestrians outside the city, some of the European style of the 18th and 9th centuries. It was dark, revealing a weird silence.
After putting on the dry robe again, Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, but did not immediately summon Edamame.
He did not have the sense of urgency that Zheng Qing had after entering this world.
On the contrary, as an individual, Xiao Xiao would rather stay in this fantasy world for a while to enrich the content of his black notebook.
"For safety, I can't run around in the wild alone." He stared at the small city for a long time, muttered, and said to himself: "...Everyone comes here, there is always something to eat. Where to sleep... this is my task."
With this thought in mind, the young fortuneteller buttoned his hood on his head, holding the black notebook in one hand and the quill in the other, and walked down the river.
Because not far downstream, there is a bridge connecting the two banks of the river.
It was a majestic stone bridge with strong piers and beautiful railings. The bridge deck is pale yellow, covered with chiseled rocks of different depths, and the railings are carved with kittens of different shapes.
Xiao Xiao met a farmer at Qiaotou who was also planning to enter the city. He drove a carriage filled with stacks of tightly bound firewood. Under the firewood, a faint smell of bacon and soju could be smelled.
This should be the most primitive smuggling method, the young fortune-teller thought to himself, and recorded these experiences in his notebook.
Perhaps it was the clean robe, or the heavy black note in his arms and the quill between the notes. The farmer was very respectful to Xiao Xiao, and after drew an old seal on his chest, he answered him no. Fewer problems.
For example, this river is called the Skye River-of course it may be the Skye River. The farmer’s accent is heavier. The young wizard is not sure about this. Given the appearance of this river, he prefers to call this river
Sky
. The river'-where the source of the river is, the farmer does not know; where the river will flow, the farmer does not know. He is just an ordinary farmer living near this river and this city.
Another example is the bridge on the river, which has a history of nearly 1,400 years. It is said that when the bridge was repaired, the master in charge of the project sealed the living people in the piers as a sacrifice to the river in the sky. .
The city on the other side of the river is called "Uzza" in official documents, but people living nearby and business travelers prefer to call it the "City of Cats" because the city’s council approved a A famous law: No one is allowed to kill cats.
The consequence of this law is that there are more and more cats living in the city, as many as in the enchanted forest not far from Uzza. The enchanted rats have repeatedly sent protests to the city council, claiming these The existence of cats seriously affected the safety of the tribes of the ancestors.
After answering the question, the farmer drew another old seal on his chest, and then drove the carriage to the city gate.
Xiao Xiao stood at Qiaotou for a while.
He needs to sort out the notes he just heard.
Then, he drew a big circle with a red pen on the words "Kill the Cat".
The young fortune-teller doubted that the lawmakers who enacted this law did not intend to prohibit the killing of cats, but rather to prohibit fools. In this way, those stupid country folks will not enter the city and compete with their smart city people for precious job opportunities.
This suspicion was much reduced when Zheng Qing crossed the bridge.
Because the large and small cats carved on the stone guardrails on both sides of the stone bridge are enough to show that cats do have an extraordinary status in this city.
"We should let the team leader and the squad leader fall here." The young fortune-teller put away the black notebook, shook his head, and muttered in a low voice.
Compared with him, the squad leader who has a black cat's tail or the squad leader who has a pair of cat ears should be more likely to get preferential treatment in this city.
With this broken thought, he crossed the stone bridge and approached the city of Uzza.
The suburbs outside the city are full of delightful elements, such as light green farmhouses, neat gardens surrounded by fences, walking hens, and cobblestone paths~EbookFREE.me~Walking in those small On the road, both the soles of the feet and the mood are pleasant.
Not to mention the "hairy fruits" lying in front of and behind the house, in the treetops and on the roadside. Those cats of different sizes and colors snoring comfortably in the sun, conveying a relaxed and happy atmosphere. .
When the strange traveler approached, these bold cats would just lift their eyelids and grunt weakly, beckoning him to play triumph, not to block them from basking in the sun. There is no sensitivity and suspiciousness of those timid cats outside.
After entering the town, the cats became more.
On the pointed, ancient roofs, under the eaves of the gargoyles, hung between the flyovers above the laneways, in the neatly manicured roadside trees, there are countless chimneys and cobblestone alleys.
White cats, black cats, gray cats, tabby cats, big cats, kittens, brindle, tricolor, glazed eyes, heterochromatic pupils, all kinds of cats are dizzying and dazzling.
"They will like this place." The young fortune-teller said to himself again in his heart, which gave him a strong desire to take Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu around in this town.
"Edamame?"
"Edamame!"
"Edamame!!"
Xiao Xiao shouted for a while in a less-traveled alley, and the gray figure of Gouzi crawled out of the void, sticking his tongue out, smiling while watching him and called out: "Meow~!"
This meow drew many prying eyes in secret.
Many of Uzza's cats looked curiously at the guy who was completely different from their appearance, but who said the same thing. No cat doubted whether it was a cat, but no cat was willing to come forward and say hello to the new ‘gray cat’.
