Vol 5 Chapter 224: Uzza's Pumpkin Cart

"Demon Hunting College (
In Uzza, no one can kill a cat.
This is not only because the laws of Uzzah City prohibit the killing of cats, but also because certain sacred and great gazes have always looked after these furry creatures, giving them a transcendent status in this city.
"It is said that this law was first introduced because of an old couple who like to abuse and kill cats." On the way to the city of Usa leading the two companions, Xiao Xiao gushed about everything he had inquired to his companions:
"The farmer and his wife used traps to kill every cat close to his house. They used it for pleasure. One year, a caravan came to Uzza. There was a little boy in the caravan, an orphan, and a little boy. The black cats depend on each other for their lives. The little black cat disappeared on the third day of the caravan. The boy looked for a long time and couldn't find it. The people in the town secretly told him the old couple's vices."
"The boy cried, was silent, thought, and finally began to pray."
"He used words that no one understood, and asked for help from the existence that no one knew. That day, everyone saw the sky tearing, the clouds twisting, and a dark, hazy figure reflected in every corner of the city. . Then all the cats in the town disappeared."
"The citizens were hesitant for a few days before the cats reappeared. It's just that at this time they have become oily and shiny, they are fat and fat, and their eyes have become smart."
"The mayor took the notary, the sheriff, and the doctor to the old farmer's house. There were no living people in the house, only two white Sensen skeletons, lying in front of the fireplace, leaving no flesh on the bones."
"From then on, Uzza had this unfamous law."
Zheng Qing heard this little horror but not so horrible story, and his heart was a little boring-except that when the little black cat in the story appeared, he frightened him for a second and gained the weird look of the witch beside him. , Did not feel any new ideas.
In contrast, the pumpkin car that occasionally speeds by on the road arouses his interest.
"Where are we going now?" After he patiently listened to Xiao Xiao's story, he finally found an opportunity to start a new dialogue.
"Usa City Museum," the fortuneteller of the Youxin Hunter replied.
"Huh?" Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows: "Is it another museum?"
"To be precise, it is a temple dedicated to the old gods in the museum." Xiao Xiao held the notebook and turned the quill in his hand. His eyes were erratic to capture the fresh pictures from left to right, and his voice was a little lazy: "...that temple The priest here has lived for a long time and knows many things. It won’t hurt if we go to talk to him."
"Why not wait for the fat man and the elders to come?"
"When the hunting team assembles, we need to do business...Have you forgotten the reason for coming to this world?"
Of course Zheng Qing will not forget-the reason why he entered the dreamland was originally because the faceless monster who faked Liu Feifei's pet snake escaped into this world, plus the agreement between Zheng Qing and Zhu Si, and Mr. Wu for him The prophecies made are pulling the young public-funded students to re-enter this dream world.
"Are those pumpkin cars allowed to ride?" The public servant changed the subject again, pointing to an orange car that had just passed by the three, and asked with interest.
"As long as you have dried fish." Xiao Xiao's answer was a bit inexplicable.
Zheng Qing stopped and fumbled for a long time in his gray cloth bag, and finally took out a handful of dried Spanish mackerel and raised it to the doctor: "Why are these small fishes?"
Xiao Xiao helped his glasses and gave him a slightly surprised look.
"I thought only the fat man's watch would store food anytime, anywhere," he obviously didn't expect Zheng Qingzhen to find a handful of dried fish.
"Just in case." The young public student twitched his mouth and replied vaguely.
Now that there are small dried fish, naturally there is no need to continue walking.
Xiao Xiao pinched the dried tail of a small fish, held it in the air, and yelled "Meow" in a serious manner!
Zheng Qing couldn't help but shivered.
"What are you doing?" He dragged Jiang Yu, a few steps away from the doctor.
Xiao Xiao glanced at him: "Call a car."
Before the words finished, a bright yellow pumpkin car stopped in front of the dried fish with the sound of the wind. A fluffy paw protruded from the front of the car and fished the dried fish into the paw.
"Receive the parking fee! Let's get a piece of Spanish mackerel!" The coachman yelled in a lazy, squishy voice, "Where do the guests want to go?"
Zheng Qing looked at the pumpkin car blankly.
The appearance of the car is not much different from that of the pumpkin car in the wizarding world. The front two steering wheels of the four wheels are small, and the rear two load-bearing wheels are large. The car made of giant pumpkins has a pumpkin vine hanging on the top. On the edge of the small window dug out of the melon body, there are a few small orange lamps hanging from the inside to the outside.
The difference is the pumpkin cart driver and the cart driver.
The driver of the pumpkin cart is a tabby cat wearing a hat~EbookFREE.me~ with round face markings, smooth and shiny fur, and a thick tail wrapped around its waist, like a whip.
Pulling the cart is a few powerful ‘big mice’.
It is not exact to say that it is a mouse, after all, Zheng Qing has never seen a mouse with pointed ears. It's just that these brown fur creatures have the sharp mouths and outlines of mice, so they are considered mice for the time being.
"The last time I saw a mouse pulling a cart was last Christmas." Zheng Qing always felt that those pulling carts were familiar, so he took a few more glances: "Pumpkin carts from Qingqiu Mansion, underground rat race cart drivers and carts. Mice...remember, those bad-tempered'Christmas mice' always wrap gifts in their socks and throw them around."
Both companions ignored Zheng Qing's memories.
"They are not mice," Xiao Xiao first corrected the improper use of the wizard's words: "This kind of creature is called'ancestor', it is a kind of creature unique to the fantasy world, and belongs to the magic creature rodentia in the encyclopedia of wizards. Zugkke is a very unique series...but because of its appearance, many people also call them "magic mice"."
"Good job, knowing that you will memorize the entire encyclopedia." Zheng Qing rolled his eyes, raised his hands, and signaled surrender.
Jiang Yu tugged at the sleeve of his robe.
"In that oak forest, the creatures that watch us should be these guys." She stared at the brown outline of the ancestors, her voice a little uncertain.
Zheng Qing squinted, and finally knew where the familiar feeling came from.
"The Enchanted Forest is an oak forest, and it is also the place where the tribes of the ancestors are most concentrated." Xiao Xiao affirmed the witch's guess, and added: "As for these guys pulling carts, the tribes of the ancestors gave the cats in Uzza City. Tribute... In normal years, cats will direct them to pull carts, but in disaster years, they are still top rations."
