Hunting High School

The old hag in a purple cloak looked at the portrait carefully.

There is a short-haired wizard in a red robe with a black cat tail; a long-haired witch also in a red robe with a pair of white cat ears in her hair; and a gray dog ​​with the shape of a cat. Ferocious, hideous, marked with the letter 'mew' next to it, which means that this dog can meow.

"stranger?"

The old witch blinked, and her eyes fell on the hair color of the two young wizards: "They all have black hair? And they brought a dog that can learn how to bark?"

"Yes. They shouldn't have been in this city for a long time," Zhu Zhu kept staring at the golden cat's paw protruding from under the old witch's cloak, but answered the question in a polite manner: "If you could tell us where they went..."

As she spoke, she took out a heavy bag of gold from her bosom.

This was 'borrowed' when she was chatting with the dwarf businessman just now.

The gold was placed on the purple tablecloth, and there was a heavy sound. The half-closed eyes of the old witch suddenly widened, and the cat under the cloak also showed an apricot pupil.

"What a pity." The old witch looked at the bag of gold greedily, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not dare to lie in front of the two demons: "I have never seen these people in the portrait."

"Oh." There was not much disappointment in Zhu Zhu's tone, and she didn't expect to find those guys just by asking casually. She picked up the bag of gold again, but unexpectedly, the old witch's skinny claws grabbed a corner of the bag.

"I can provide clues." The old witch licked her lips and looked at the little banshee eagerly.

Zhu Zhu hesitated for a second, then turned to look at Nikita.

Nikita was still studying the little poem.

But she seemed to notice Zhu Zhu's gaze, and nodded slightly.

The little banshee pulled the bag of gold back into her bosom, then tore open the bag, took out a few gold coins from inside, and threw them on the purple tablecloth: "If it's just a clue...these should be enough."

The old witch was a little disappointed, but quickly put away the few gold coins with her hands and feet, and bit them one by one by her mouth.

Not afraid of losing the teeth, Zhu Zhu looked at the few yellow teeth left in the old witch's shriveled mouth, thinking maliciously in his heart, and at the same time knocked on the table urgently.

"If you want to find someone, you can definitely go to the tavern over there and ask." The old witch replied calmly: "But if you want to find someone with black hair, you have to go to 'Menisi's Cat The tavern'...there is the greatest concentration of dark-haired people in all of Uzzah."

"Is it a tavern?" Nikita turned his head and pondered for a moment: "Well, I just want to drink some wine."

Unlike her, the little banshee's attention is more easily attracted by the part suitable for the little banshee: "Cat Cat Tavern, does that mean there are many cats in that store?"

"No, there is only one black cat in that store." The old witch's face stretched out, revealing an elusive smile: "And no one knows whether the cat is alive or dead."

...

...

The figures of the two banshees had just disappeared into the crowd.

In front of the divination booth under the big purple umbrella, several small bosses who were doing business nearby gathered.

Wearing a white apron, the chubby, bald fried chicken stand owner asked cautiously: "The two customers just now..."

"It's a legendary monster, isn't it?" The fruit stand owner with a mustache looked at the old witch with certainty: "Their scarlet eyes can scare people to death from a long distance away! "

"Vampire's eyes are red too..."

"There have never been vampires in Ulthar, and ghouls are almost the same!"

"Have you ever seen such a beautiful ghoul?"

"Shut up!" The old witch slapped the purple tablecloth heavily with her skinny paws, stopping the commotion in front of the booth: "Didn't you see the pattern on the shoulder of that tall female demon?"

"Like a capital 'm'?"

"That's the sign of Captain Misty, a subordinate of the Siren King." No matter where it is? Fortune tellers are the most knowledgeable types of existence, and the old witch easily confirmed the identities of the banshees: "That is a person not inferior to the great The existence of Lord Bastion."

"What are the subordinates of the Siren King coming to Uzzah?" The little jewelry shop proprietress twisted her fingers uneasily: "We don't have a sea here..."

"But we have cats here!" The old witch replied with certainty: "Even demons can't resist the charm of these god-chosen creatures... We must report this matter to the temple."

"The wandering caravan is coming!"

"The wandering caravan is coming! The camels of their front team have passed the gate of the city!"

Newsboys in gray jackets dashed from one end of the street to the other, shouting the latest news to market traders: "They want colored glass beads, wood carvings from dead trees, and transparent pebbles. ! They have a lot of people and will eat a lot!"

The small businessmen gathered in front of the divination booths dispersed and quickly returned to their respective booths, ready to welcome a large wave of guests.

Only old witches? Slowly putting away the parchment and hardback books on the purple tablecloth.

Then she rubbed her thin-mouthed copper pot with her bony fingers? Looking at the pearl-colored mist from the spout, she murmured: "Basteet, Basteet, Basteet..."

A fat blond crawled out from under the old witch's robe, and its big, round head rubbed against her leg.

The old witch took out one of the gold coins given to her by the banshee, stuffed it into the small leather pocket on Jin Gradient's neck, and stroked the fur on its neck: "Go? Go? Basty Beloved, tell Elder Atal that there are strangers in the city..."

The fat cat slid from the old witch's legs to the ground, and briskly got out from under the table. It just flashed and circled, and disappeared in the crowded street in a blink of an eye.

...

...

"Don't we really need to go back to the temple?" Zheng Qing pushed open a butterfly swing door and looked back at Xiao Xiao: "By the way, how did we get out of the museum just now?"

"Magic." The doctor simply replied: "I've finished asking what I want to ask, so there's no reason to stay there."

"Then why are we here?"

"Because I'm hungry." Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and replied with a vacant eye, "And this is the nearest food place to us."

As the door was pushed open, noisy human voices poured into the ears of the young wizard in an instant.

The never-ending smell of smoke, the rich aroma of wine and barbecue, and the loud noises of travelers from different backgrounds intertwine with each other, creating a fusion of barbarism and civilization based on the dim light in the tavern. atmosphere.

"Welcome to the Cat and Cat Tavern in Menis!"

The waiters in the store warmly entertained the guests who just entered the store: "Here is the most delicious barbecue in Uzzah, the most refreshing wine, and the most mysterious cat!"
