Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 1 Let's learn to meow together

The pure white light curtain gradually dissipated.

He blinked inadvertently, and when he looked around again, he was already in the guest room of Lakesprings.

The noonday sun shines through the half-open and half-closed windows, casting a golden yellow in the room. A cold wind came from the window, bringing a little chill and a little noise.

On the table in front of him was still a money bag with a hundred gold coins. Through the untied opening, you can also see the knots of the sandwich bag and the golden coins. On the back of the chair hung a cloak of disguise that had been put on after entering the house "last night". On the bed next to it, there are still rough trousers bought at the tailor's shop.

Everything in the room is still the same as when you left.

"Meow!"

Malu, the kitten hidden in her pocket, jumped out and looked around with a pair of big eyes. It's obviously curious, where is this? How did you change places in the blink of an eye?

The scene in front of him was strange and familiar, and Fang Qiuling's eyes couldn't help but bring a little emotion. He casually put the money bag into the storage bag, then sat down in the chair, took the kettle on the table and reached half a glass of water in the cup, he looked out the window at the clear blue sky and was slightly distracted.

Humans are indeed very contradictory creatures. Before leaving, he was full of thoughts about Elune, and the magical fantasy world seemed to have endless charm, and he was haunted by dreams. But as soon as I arrived in Elune, I wanted to go home.

Malu walked around the room and found nothing. Meow meowed and ran back to Fang Qiuling, then climbed up his trouser leg. But before it could crawl a few times, Fang Qiuling bent down and picked it up and put it on the table.

"What are you doing?"

Malu can't speak. But as a magic pet, it can feel the owner's heart, so it meows to hug.

- The shoveler with rabbit ears is in a bad mood, and Malu can make them happy by just letting them hug them. So come and hug Maru!

Fang Qiuling smiled dumbly. Unexpectedly, he didn't do anything when he returned to Elune, and was comforted by his own demon pet first.

Reaching out and taking out the harp from the storage bag, he tuned the strings slightly. Then he tapped Malu's little nose lightly, in exchange for a wave of protest from the kitten.

"Thank you, Malu. I'm fine, but all of a sudden...... Suddenly I want to be lazy. ”

Xiao Hanyun arranged every day to be full, studying, training, and never stopped. knew very well that Xiao Hanyun was for his own good, but after several days, he was still a little tired.

"I'll teach you to sing, Maru. Take a little break today, just take a little bit. As he spoke, he plucked the strings gently, "What should I teach you to sing...... Well, there it is. Let's just sing this...... Let's learn to meow together, meow together......"

……

If one opens Elune's world map, travelers will find that Elune's world consists of three continents. The Dawn Continent in the east, the Araka Continent in the west, and the Mazta Continent in the south.

The Endless Glacier is located in the northernmost part of the continent of Arakar, with snow that does not melt all year round and ice that does not melt for thousands of years. Legend has it that one of the entrances to the top of the world is in the depths of the Endless Glacier. Any intelligent life that reaches the top of the world can receive an ancient lineage that contains not only great power, but also knowledge of how to attain eternal life.

However, since the gods raised the throne high and turned it into a constellation that guards the world, the entrance to the top of the world has also been sealed. The last to step to the top of the world was a sage, St. Filsino Leescal, the last sage, known as the sage of the polymath. In order to appease the wrath of the gods, he stepped on top of the world alone and volunteered to become the Holy Spirit who guards the world.

Students of San Filciono Leiscal found his diary while cleaning up the relics. The last page of the diary left this description:

- In the Silver Age, the gods closed the way to the Source on the grounds of mortal boundless greed. In the age of Black Iron, the gods blocked the gates of the top of the world on the grounds of mortal arrogance and ignorance. The prophet has fallen, and the saint has died. Whether it was the gods' fear of mortal annihilation, or the gods' jealousy of the rise of mortals, I don't know.

- The age of black iron is over. Although the gods vowed not to intervene directly in the affairs of the mortal world, the temple of the gods grew stronger and stronger. And then is it really a mortal age? Or, the era of chaos......

- I am a scholar. I have made a vow that I will give everything for the continuation of the flame of civilization. So for the sake of mortals, and for Elune's sake, I left this knowledge. It is hoped that one day mortals will be able to break the seal on the top of the world with their own power and regain the glory of the Golden Age.

- The messengers of the gods discovered the knowledge and keys I had left behind, but they were powerless to destroy them, so they could only separate and restrict them.

- Only the traveler of the other world who has no desire or desire to return home can gain the knowledge of how to open the door, and only the twins of light and darkness can have the power to open the door.

- Knowledge lies in the depths of the Endless Glacier, and I hope you can find the traveler from the other world as soon as possible.

Thus, almost every year in the first hundred years of the epochal calendar, scholars set out from the neutral capital of Paranzas, hoping to obtain the legacy of the Sage in the depths of the endless glacier. There have also been a number of scholars who have returned from the Endless Glacier who have claimed to have received the legacy of San Fiercino Leiscal, hoping to be recognized by the nations, and to gain money, power, and status. But in the end, it turned out that all of them were liars, liars hoping to exchange the name of the Holy One for money, status, and prestige.

More than 300 years later, few scholars have visited the Endless Glacier, and even the most seasoned adventurers are not willing to visit the Endless Glacier. Because the environment there is so harsh and there is little to no profit. Time will wipe out a lot of things. As time passed, the cardamom maiden became a white-haired old woman, the low new tree grew into an ancient tree in the sky, and the last words of the sage gradually became a legendary story.

Sino Illusia is away from home for the first time. Where exactly is Karthus? She didn't actually know it, but kept going south, then south, and then south, and then south, according to the map given by the minaret's owner.

As a cat girl living on the edge of an endless glacier, she saw a trickling stream for the first time, and also witnessed a crashing and roaring river. She stopped in front of the golden waves of wheat in the autumn wind, and drooled under the fruitful fruit trees. Although she didn't know what appreciation was, the scenery of the lake and mountains in the town made her want to take a few more looks. Although she didn't know how the high walls that guarded the city rose from the ground, the perseverance of the soldiers on the walls made her awe-inspiring.

Eat and sleep on the road along the way. He has been a mercenary, a guard, a bandit, a bounty, a farmer, a waiter, a circus, and a messenger.

The adventure stories of the elders after tea and dinner are always thrilling, and the young Shino once longed for it. But after actually experiencing it, I know that the life of adventurers is very difficult. Thrilling adventures are also not a good thing, and they often come with danger.

It's been more than a year since I left my hometown. It's been almost a little over a month since I stepped into the Kingdom of Karts. The trade center of the Mist Lake, the border of the kingdom, has appeared in front of you.

Is the "Lord Monarch" in the mouth of the minaret owner still in the Mist Lake area? After all, a year has passed, and it is entirely possible that the Lord Monarch has left the Mist Lake. How did the owner of the minaret know about the lord's movements? By the way, the owner of the minaret is a powerful spellcaster, perhaps using prophecy, or perhaps ......

The convoy approached the town gate and arrived at the Trade Square unimpeded. The merchants, men, and guards in the convoy got out of the car one after another, moving their muscles and bones while looking for a place to settle.

Shino also jumped out of the carriage, received his payment from the caravan steward, and wandered around the Trade Square.

A year of life as an adventurer has taught Shino a lot. For example, it is better to go to a tavern or a temple to find someone. For a few small bucks, the bartenders and waiters of the tavern can sell all the information of the guests. Similarly, with a small donation and a touching story of finding a family, the pastor of the church will be happy to help find someone.

But it's not yet noon, and the tavern is certainly not open yet. The bartender and waiter must have been busy cleaning up the masterpiece left by the drunks last night, and at this time they couldn't hear a word of truth from them, and they had to wait until night fell to go.

Karthas worshipped Notos, the god of wind. The pastors of Notos usually pray in the morning, and now should be about the right time for them to pray. Except for the devout believers who also believe in Notos, it is better not to enter the others if they are not in a hurry.

So Shino plans to take a casual walk first, find a place to fill his stomach, and then go and inquire about the news.

Just a few steps away from the caravan, a figure with the same ears and tail came in front of him, presumably a member of the tribe living in Karthas.

The different groups of the cat charm family have a big difference in appearance, which is similar to that of humans. The height of the individual, the shape of the vertical ears on the top of the head, the shape of the pupils, and the hair color, the members of the same ethnic group basically have the same individual characteristics. The farther apart the ethnic groups, the corresponding individual characteristics will be very different.

The man in front of him was slightly shorter than himself, only a little taller than the wheels of the carriage beside him. Her shoulder-length brown hair seems to have just been styled and looks extremely smooth. Blue pupils with pointed eyeshadow painted on the corners of the eyes. I feel that she is not very old, most of them are underage cubs, but for some reason she is wearing a moon-white robe unique to the cat Meizu.

This style of robe is a formal dress in the culture of the cat charm, and is usually used only on important occasions and when visiting guests.

Just had her hair groomed, her makeup elaborate, and her formal robe. Is this clan going to visit an elder?

In curiosity, the clansmen in front of him obviously noticed Shino as well. She turned her head cutely sideways to look at Shino, as if wondering who the hooded clansman was, as if she had never seen it.

"Hello, I'm O Eliza Oromi from the Agarwal Valley, may I ask who you are?"

The clansman in front of him gracefully stretched out his right hand. Shino knew it was a mutual greeting etiquette, and she had seen it countless times in the year she had been away from her hometown.

"Hello, I'm Shino Ilucia from Lahatia."

"Shino...... Illusia, is it okay for me to call you Shino? ”

"Well, it doesn't matter."

"Ahh That's great! ”

The exchange of names had apparently won the favor of the person named Eliza in front of her, and she gave a big hug with great enthusiasm. This behavior made Sino feel a little inappropriate.

"Sino, you're so tall."

"Shino, where are you from?"

"Wow! Shino's hair is so beautiful! ”

Eliza was extremely enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm made Shino a little overwhelmed. Finally escaping from Eliza's arms, Shino calmed his breath and tentatively asked Eliza if she was familiar with this place and what recommended places to live.

"Yes, there it is." Eliza immediately recommended a hotel, "This is it." 'Galloping Mustang'. The fat boss of this shop makes very delicious food, and the bed is soft and comfortable! ”

"Okay, thanks. I'm going to take a look. ”

Sino hurriedly took his leave. As a cat charm who grew up in the endless glacier, she actually doesn't want to get very close to people. Because the proximity means that there is less time left for oneself to react, and less reaction time means danger, which is what the elders have repeatedly taught during the hunt.

However, Sino also knows that the town is a fairly safe place, especially now that it is in the middle of the city, and there is almost no danger. But the habits she has developed over the years still keep her vigilant at all times. And this plain clansman is too enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm makes her a little afraid.

The master of the minaret once said to the demon master, it seems to be: nothing to give, either treachery or theft. This seems to be able to be used on the clansman in front of you, so it's better to get rid of her first.

"Okay, then you go and get the ...... first"

Before she could take a few steps when Eliza suddenly skewed up and grabbed her arm.

"Wait a minute, there's still a lot of time anyway, I'll go with you! It's also a good time to say hello to the fat daddy. ”

The look on Shino's face was astringent, and he secretly moved his hugged arm, but he couldn't pull it out. I had to casually Eliza with a little helplessness.

Asking questions as he walked, Shino had to brace himself to deal with Eliza. Eliza is definitely a big curious baby, and Shino feels like he hasn't said as much as Eliza has said in the past month.

But enthusiasm also has the benefit of enthusiasm, and it didn't take long for Eliza to reveal all her information to Shino. For example, she is only fourteen years old, not yet an adult, but she is already a "powerful spellcaster", especially good at lightning magic. For example, she came here with a caravan of her tribe, bringing with her a lot of herbs and furs, which she now sells and brings back to the village in exchange for food and daily necessities. Another example is that the caravan encountered a goblin attack on the way here, and a passing adventurer saved her and the caravan......
