Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2268 I have a cat!

On the second day, Xia Duo originally planned to continue researching creation magic in the floating city, but news soon came from the magic ship that Jam brought a strange animal.

After Xia Duo received the news, he immediately took Nya back to the magic ship. As soon as he arrived on the magic ship, he saw Jam and two strong subordinates standing on the magic ship carrying a container covered with black cloth. Below, standing behind them was a tall, thin, bald man with such obvious features that he was undoubtedly a Mulan man.

It's just that the Mulan man's face is sad, so what does it have to do with this matter?

Many thoughts flashed through Xia Duo's mind, and then he didn't call Jam to the boat to talk, but brought Niya to the red square on the ground.

As soon as he got close to him, he heard the sound of "whoosh" coming from the container covered with black cloth. He was very familiar with this sound. He had raised cats when he was on earth. roaring sound.

Hearing this voice, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel happy. Regardless of the process in the middle, it is obviously not a bad thing for him to find the cat.

"Jam Tax Officer, is this the animal I mentioned to Prince Aben earlier?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Jam pulled off the black cloth on the container, and a metal cage appeared in front of everyone. It was indeed a cat inside, and it was similar to the cat that Xia Duo saw next to Coranie before. black cat.

It was only because of Jam's sudden act of tearing off the black cloth that the black cat in the cage let out a more dull roar, and its whole body was also bowed in the corner farthest from Xia Duo and the others, as if it would jump at it if something went wrong. will come up.

"Master Athos, this is meow, it should be the animal you are looking for, but this kind of animal is extremely rare, and only one has been found so far, but His Royal Highness has already arranged people to look for it in the surrounding areas, I believe it will soon There is new news."

"Meow?" Xia Duo was rather curious about the name.

When he was in Cormanthor before, Kelani once mentioned that this animal was called "meow". At that time, he thought it was very funny, and guessed that it might be named after the sound of a cat.

Now seeing the source of the cat is also called in this way, which affirms his guess. In fact, the name "cat" is also derived from the sound of the cat, but the hieroglyph uses "犭" to represent the animal.

"Yes, that's what the Murans call them." Jam immediately explained.

"What does this have to do with the Mulan people?"

Xia Duo glanced at the sad-faced Mulan man next to him, and suddenly had a guess in his heart. Could it be that the Mulan man brought this cat from their hometown?
Soon Jam's answer confirmed Xia Duo's guess, "This kind of animal first appeared in Imasca with the Muran people. The Muran people worshiped them as sacred objects and kept them very secret. If His Excellency Athos hadn’t mentioned it, perhaps we would still have been ignorant of it!”

"So, what does that Mulan man do? Could it be that he is usually responsible for taking care of this meow?"

"Master Athos is really transparent, because it is a completely strange creature. Prince Aben ordered me to send you its usual caregiver, so that there will be no problems in keeping it."

Jam's answer seemed quite reasonable, but when Xia Duo had already confirmed that there was a problem with the Mulan people, he sent the person responsible for taking care of the sacred cat, which inevitably aroused people's associations.

Animals are nothing more than eating grass or meat, as long as you ask and tell Xia Duo clearly, there is no need to take photos of the original breeder.

Moreover, Imaska ​​already knew that the Mulan people regarded cats as sacred objects, so obviously not any Mulan people could be the breeders.

Thinking in another way, if Xia Duo was the upper echelon of Imaska, he would definitely not let such a person fall into the hands of others. Similarly, sending such a person must have some kind of careful thought.

However, after thinking for a while, Xia Duo decided to accept the Mulan man. It was just a guess to suspect that Imaska ​​had ulterior motives.

"Thank you Prince Aben for me!"

Xia Duo said words of thanks casually, and the man had already walked around to the other side of the cage, and the cat seemed to have noticed Xia Duo's movements, and its small head followed Xia Duo all the time, but of course the low "whoosh" roar was still silent. stop.

The cat's over-stretched appearance was completely different from the one Xia Duo had seen with Coranie before, and he didn't know how long it would take to raise it.

Thinking in this way, Xia Duo stretched out a finger through the gap in the iron cage, trying to tease the other party, but Jaime exclaimed:
"Master Athos, be careful that meow will scratch you."

Xia Duo turned back and smiled, "Don't worry, if I can be hurt by this little guy, then my mage will be in vain."

He speculated that it might be that the Imasca people's secret weapon protection was not so fine, unable to take care of minor injuries such as cat scratches, but arcane magic was not so inconvenient.

In fact, he didn't need to cast any spells at all, and the natural defense after the awakened blood was enough to resist the damage of common sharp weapons, let alone a mere kitten.

The fact is exactly what Xia Duo thought, this cat is an ordinary animal, no matter how much the other party scratches and bites his fingers, it can't hurt him at all. Cat memory.

It’s just that the domestic kittens bit and scratched him at that time just for playing, and they didn’t use any force at all, but now this immature cat may even use the strength to suckle.

In the process, Xia Duo also took the opportunity to scratch the black cat's chin to increase the friendship. After repeated tossing, the kitten quickly relaxed its vigilance.

Xia Duo didn't expect that just scratching his chin would be so effective, so he asked Jam to open the cage.

"Master Athos, are you sure you want to open it? If it escapes, it will be very difficult to catch again." As he spoke, Jam glanced at the Mulan man next to him, and added, "Even if there is this It's also difficult for the Mulan people to help, and this meow doesn't listen to him at all."

"I have the numbers."

Seeing that Jam was still hesitant, Xia Duo became a little impatient, and pointed directly at the cage, and the lock key on it immediately opened automatically, opening one small door at a time.

Just at this moment, the black robe that seemed to have let down its vigilance just now turned into a black line and rushed out of the cage, ignoring the crowd of Mulan breeders, and ran straight away from the crowd.

"Hehe, little guy, can I still let you run away after seeing it?"

Compared with the panicked Jam, Xia Duo was very calm at this time, and even Niya was smiling, as if she never worried about such things.
