There is a mysterious black cat in the cat bar in Mines. On the way to this bar, Zheng Qing heard people talking about it more than once.

Because it is a cat that conquers death and is between life and death.

When you see it in a tavern, it must be a dead cat, either with rolled eyes, belly up and no breath, or just a pile of dead cat bones with maggots in the shattered black fur roll.

But when you can't see it, the cat is alive again.

It will sneak up on the table to steal small dried fish while the guests are not paying attention, and then leave plum footprints on your napkin; it will hide in a place where no one can find it but can be heard; if The guest is a beautiful little girl, and the black cat will hide under the table, rubbing her ankles and calves with its soft belly—if at this time, the little girl lifts the tablecloth and looks under the table, she will just A pile of dead cat bones can be seen, piled up at Own's feet.

At the beginning, the store owner and guests thought there was some ghost, so they invited many wizards and priests to exorcise the demon, but they found nothing. The cat still lingered in every corner of the tavern.

It wasn't until the Elder Atal of the Temple of Uzza City checked it himself that he confirmed that it was just a black cat in a very special state and very ordinary in nature.

With the Elder's judgment, the tavern soon attracted many guests who came here for the name.

The shrewd tavern owner simply used this as a gimmick, and set up a wooden box on each dining table, with a hole on the side, only big enough to allow one hand to go in. Every customer who comes to the store only needs to add a small dried fish, and they will have the opportunity to touch the mysterious black cat.

"You just need to grab a small dried fish, and put your hands into that hole." The waiter at Menis Tavern pointed to the wooden box in the middle of the dining table, and enthusiastically explained to several young wizards: "If you feel that the fish in your hand If it is eaten, then it may stay in your box at that time, and you can take the opportunity to touch it..."

"How do we know if it ate it?" Xiao Xiao asked very interestedly.

There was no surprise on the waiter's face.

"This is a question that all guests will have." He smiled gently, walked to an empty table, and lifted the lid of the wooden box skillfully. It was empty inside, not even a plate. On the wooden board, rows of magic patterns and talismans were also drawn.

Zheng Qing looked at the talismans carefully, judging from the shape and changes, which contained multiple effects such as preventing prying eyes and blocking observation.

"The boxes are all empty," the waiter tapped on the box with his fingers, and showed the guests: "You can check the magic or mechanism on this box at will to make sure we haven't cheated... If any of you are good at For the talismans, you should be able to see the forbidden summoning and other similar talismans drawn in the box."

Jiang Yu and Xiao Xiao looked at Zheng Qing at the same time.

The young public finance student nodded cautiously.

"And here," the waiter bent down, and lifted the heavy tablecloth on the dining table, revealing the dark under the table. With the dim light in the tavern, one could see that there was only one load-bearing pillar under the table, and it was the same as the tabletop. The two wooden boxes are not in the same position: "...from top to bottom, there is no room for manipulation."

"It's right here." Jiang Yu made a final decision, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Zheng Qing was not surprised at all, because he knew that Miss Jiang was originally a cat lover. It would be strange if she turned a blind eye to such an interesting cat this time.

Different from most restaurants? Menis charges per person, one gold coin per person each time. The food provided is similar? Mainly grilled meat and octopus balls, the staple food is only creamed tortillas and pumpkin pies. But because it is a tavern, the drinks provided in the store are very rich. Zheng Qing looked at the menu for a long time to choose? Finally, he chose honey wine and mushroom wine-these are the two drinks with the lightest taste in the store.

Of course? There is also the plate of dried fish for teasing cats, which is also essential.

After taking back the menu, the waiter stood aside with a smile and did not leave.

"Chenghui, three gold coins." The waiter held the plate and said politely.

"Shouldn't you pay after eating?" Zheng Qing took out three gold coins from the gray cloth bag and put them in the tray—these gold coins were exchanged by Xiao Xiao in the temple earlier.

"Because most of the time, the guests would suddenly fight while they were eating, and then they would all run away after fighting." A guest passing by with a shy belly picked his teeth and answered with a smile: "... ...Old Niss lost a lot of gold for this. So later, everyone paid the money first and then ate."

The waiter smiled and bowed, just as he was about to leave with the plate, Xiao Xiao suddenly reached out and took two gold coins from the plate.

"If you're not mistaken," the little wizard pointed to the corner of the menu and said, "There is a sentence here: 'Zugs and dogs are not allowed; cats are free'."

Zheng Qing poked his neck and took a serious look, and there was indeed such a sentence.

Then some bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

Sure enough, after Xiao Xiao finished reading that sentence, he stretched out his hand, fished out a cat tail from under Zheng Qing's robe, and shook it in front of the waiter: "See, it's a fake, it's a cat. It should be free...but for some reason, he has temporarily turned into a human, a very rare 'human cat'. And her, those cat ears, can you see it too?"

The black cat's tail twitched vigorously, slipped from Xiao Xiao's palm, then flicked it quickly, and slapped it against the little wizard's mouth. Xiao smiled and adjusted his glasses without changing his face, and continued to look at the waiter in the restaurant.

Zheng Qing took a deep breath, turned his head slightly, and looked at Jiang Yu.

The witch's cheeks and neck were already pink, and the two little white cat ears in her hair had drooped down in shame, clinging tightly to the hair, looking like two furry hair accessories.

The chubby guest passing by hugged his belly and started laughing wildly.

Menis's waiter was obviously caught off guard, and stood there blankly, neither denying the existence of the two 'humanoid cats' nor giving them all a free order.

After all, they looked human.

The commotion in the corner soon attracted Menis's master.

It was a middle-aged man in his forties with two beautiful mustaches, wearing a light gray vest, a neatly folded handkerchief in his chest pocket, and a slender gold chain hanging from the pocket , and finally disappeared between the gaps in the clothes.

"What happened?" he asked gently.

The waiter immediately repeated Xiao Xiao's words.

After listening to the waiter's report, Menis's boss carefully looked at the young wizards.
