When night fell, everyone gathered in the room.

Lilil asked, "Is there a meow where Lilil can help?"

Samuel was guarding the door, Vance and Danica were checking on Path, and Hima was crouching next to the magic plant, and next to it was a golden magic cage that she had quietly put here in the middle of the night.

Starting in the morning, after a day.

"Except for a single hair that I found in the cage in the morning, there is nothing yet. ”

After examining Paz and the others, Vance came to the plant's side.

"It's growing well. ”

"However, there is still no harvest of meow!"

Jima was so frustrated that she almost started drawing circles on the ground with her fingers.

"Wait. ”

"Hima...... What can Lilil do?"

Lilil also walked over.

"Meow!"

"Hima?"

“…… It's not a meow, I think it's a little annoying!"

Scratching her hair, Hima got back to her feet.

"Sorry...... Lilil couldn't help anything. ”

She looked a little lost, and the work of the past few days was the same, searching the streets with Hima, but there was no progress at all.

"It's nothing, don't think too much about meow!"

In the face of this comfort, Lilil nodded, hesitated, and swallowed the words back.

"There will be movement in the next few days. ”

Vance suddenly said, "Cheer up." ”

"In that case, I'll have to stare at this potted plant all day long! The meow given to me at night will be handed over to yours during the day!"

Samuel also walked over, "What about staring at the street? I've searched almost the entire Imperial City in the past few days, and there is still no news, that guy must have already left here, right?"

"Leave ...... Open?"

"Meow, I've looked for meow in the sewers. ”

"Also, what's wrong with the guy you picked up with? ”

"What's going on?"

"That's what I said, meow!" thought Himma, "that person can take advantage of meow." ”

"I don't know how you met. ”

"Get out of the way, it's in the way. After Vance had finished watering the plant, he walked out with the pot in his hand, intending to let it bask in the moonlight.

"Is there any place Lilil can help?

Samuel turned his head to look at her, "I'm going out, do you want to come along?"

"It's so late, what are you going to do, Meow, if you can help, Lilil will be happy to meow!"

"If I can help, I can say it, thanks to your help these days. Danica came to them, heard these words, and offered to help.

"Thanks, Miss Rankino, Anyway, where did you just go?"

"You're welcome, just went out and cleaned up a change of clothes. "I didn't expect there to be a magic prop like that, otherwise, I would have washed it by hand, and I don't know how long it would take. Should she consider popularizing some convenient magic items in the mountain city? In that case, how much would it cost?

Danica thought about it, and asked for everyone's opinions on the introduction of the magic shop.

"Hey, can you go or not?"

Seeing that Liliel was still thinking about small talk, Samuel raised her eyebrows and urged.

"Sorry meow!"

Before exiting the temple branch, Samuel pulled out a map and pointed to several red circles drawn on it.

"These circles are signs, this and this, these are the places you have searched, here and here, these three circles. Samuel points out five places that have already been explored.

"Here?"

"The Royal Palace. ”

"The Palace, Samuel, have you been there too?"

"Yes, the palace is the most unlikely, don't worry about it. All that remains are these two places, the aristocratic district and the ghetto. ”

"Meow?"

"It's a bit difficult to get to the aristocratic quarters, and it's a bit difficult to get to the slums, and I've heard that outsiders are not welcome there, and it's almost impossible for ordinary people to get out safe and sound. ”

"That's, that's such a terrible meow!"

Lilil shuddered, and her tail shuddered.

"I've heard from the tavern that someone went into the slum and disappeared since, and some speculate that the guy might have been sold by someone else or ......"

"Say no more!"

Liliel panicked and stopped Samuel from going any further.

"I want to go to the slums. ”

This news should be somewhat accurate, this is when I followed Danica to the party, I accidentally learned from the nobleman, it happened during this time. The family of the missing man went to the patrolling soldiers, and begged desperately, and the nobleman took the matter as a joke of amusement, and laughed when he said it.

"But...... There will be dangerous meows ......"

"I thought you were enlightened, so you better stay here. ”

Samuel rolled his eyes in disdain.

"It's not meow, Lilil will go with meow!"

So, they came to the slums.

The people who live here probably already have a strong ability to bear it.

In this area, even the patrolling soldiers do not come, and the crime rate here is not ordinarily high.

Not long after entering, Samuel saw a group of people standing aside not far away, beating others en masse, and because they were blocked, they couldn't see too clearly. As they approached, the sound became louder, and some people hid in the distance and sneaked in this direction.

Before heading that way, Samuel told Liliel not to speak or to pay attention to the group. Of course, it's best if you can take a detour.

The problem is that this group of people is right at the entrance to this street, and if you want to take a detour, it's best to have a certain degree of familiarity with the place.

Liliel clenched her hands, and her palms were already sweating.

Samuel wanted to be able to keep a certain distance from them, and this group of people took up almost half of the entire road, even if it was a fight, wouldn't it be enough to find an alley to solve it? The street was at least ten meters wide, and they really regarded the street as their home.

You can only avoid it carefully and pass by.

"Muttling! How dare you rob me of my money!"

"Beat him, beat him!"

When these words came to her ears, Lilil couldn't help but tremble.

Samuel glanced at her and quickened his pace.

However, because of this, Samuel's luck took a turn for the worse.

It was because of the quickening of the pace, and the fact that one of the people in the group actually retreated and bumped into Samuel.

"Looking for death, I don't have eyes!"

"Samuel!"

The man cursed and looked up at Samuel with a hint of surprise.

"What strange eyes you kid have. ”

“！”

Before he could react, his hand had already touched his eyes. Then he heard an exclamation.

"Let go of Meow!"

"I didn't expect to meet such a strange alien here!"

The guy spotted Lilil and grabbed her arm.

"Hey, everyone, come and see, there are two good goods here!"

"Tsk......"

Luck is terrible, this guy is too, and so are these eyes.

"Let go of Meow!"

Lilil struggled, flailing her claws in a panic, scratching her opponent's hand until she broke free. But then, the guy screamed in pain, and the rest of his companions came to him.

"Ha??good goods?!"

Samuel took the lead, and when he was a step apart, before being caught by the group, he grabbed Lilil's arm and urged, "Run!"

"Yes!"

The two of them ran, running briskly, followed by a group of people.

The two were chased, ran all the way forward, ran through the street into the alley, left the alley and returned to the street, and after running a few streets, they saw a bridge, and after passing the bridge they saw neat rows of houses.

"It's really a desperate chase!"

After scolding, when I finally passed the back of a house, I found a few wooden boxes on the ground, and before they were found, I removed those wooden boxes and squatted down to hide behind them.

The footsteps approached, accompanied by a series of scolding, which lasted for a while and gradually faded away. Lilil carefully segregated the voices of the group until they were completely gone, and she could no longer be heard, still with lingering palpitations.

"What a terrible meow!"

Lilil clutched her chest, still feeling her whole body tremble.

"You'd better follow me and don't mess around, or the group might come back. ”

"Lilil got it!"

Lilil nodded, her mood had not calmed down, and her heart was still beating fast.

"Samuel, your eyes...... Is it this color meow?"

"Huh?"

Samuel reacted and subconsciously covered his eyes.

"I'm sorry meow, can't I be known? I'm really sorry meow if that's the case......" Lilil realized that she had lost her words and immediately apologized.

(Mention here that Samuel's eyes were foreshadowed in a very early place)

Samuel remembered this and cursed.

"Damn it!"

Lilil shuddered again, "Yes, sorry meow......"

"I don't mean you. ”

The guy who sold his colored contact lenses actually deceived him this time, obviously he had patronized so many times of business, and he must settle accounts with him when he went back. It had an effect for a year, but now it is invalid so quickly.

Samuel doesn't like to be too conspicuous.

Even the masked guy didn't notice this.

This is also something that has never been mentioned to anyone, and when I was a child, I was bullied a lot because of these eyes that were different from others.

"I don't like to be noticed. ”

"So...... What the hell is going to do with the meow, it feels a little bit incredible. As soon as she finished asking, Lilil felt that these words were a bit abrupt.

"A colored film, a gadget that sticks to the eyes. "Recently, it seems that a magic potion has been introduced to change the color of the pupils, and that potion is too expensive. It's also interesting to say that magic, such a magical thing, can be developed to derive so many strange things. Samuel tugged at the corners of his mouth. Thanks to the strange ideas of the magicians, even if many of them are not of practical use, they are still useful in some ways.

It is precisely because of these strange gadgets that it is much more convenient for cross-dressing if you want to change your identity. Beautify the color of the eyes, change the voice, grow the Adam's apple in a short period of time, and so on.

Lilil breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Samuel's appearance, which didn't seem to be angry.

"Let's go. ”

Samuel took out a white cobblestone hidden in his pocket.

Each of them has one of these stones, which reacts to shadow magic elements, changes in temperature and color.

"It's still a cold rock. ”

"That's right, meow, don't we find a meow here? Anyway, we should have been walking for a long time, and there is any place in the slum that we haven't been to?"

Seeing that Samuel was suddenly silent, Liliel asked.

"What's wrong, meow?"

"No...... Let's go. ”

Perhaps, before coming here, he should have put this guy in a cloak to cover up, she looks quite conspicuous. Of course, Samuel had another idea, that alien status could be used as a decoy, and based on these experiences, Samuel felt that the group of shadow mages seemed to like aliens. Of course, this idea was known, and since it was Hima's guy, he thought he might not have a good time.

"I hope you don't drag me down. ”

“…… Lilil will try to meow. ”

When she got up, Lilil's heart tightened when she heard this.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Vance sent Danica back to the inn and then back to the temple branch.

When I walked into the branch, I heard a rush of footsteps.

"You didn't see Lilil's meow!"

Soon, the owner of the voice came to the front with an anxious look.

"I've searched every room here and I haven't found Lilil's meow! Samuel's guy isn't there! It's really meow, I remember they seemed to be going out together, haven't they come back yet?"

"I haven't seen them. ”

"Meow! I feel very hot for some reason, I'm going to go out and look for it!"

Vance watched as he watched Hima leave, returning to the room, where Paz was still asleep like the others.

Bring a chair and move it to the window, and Vance sat down, sitting there guarding Ushalidora by the window. As the minutes ticked by, Vance didn't take his eyes off it.

Even if it blooms and bears fruit, it is important to observe any changes in this plant at any time.

I don't know how long I sat there, but in the street outside the window, the light in the building opposite gradually dimmed, Vance got up and looked out, and saw that the other buildings, almost the whole street had completely fallen into darkness.

It is extremely quiet, and this quietness naturally causes people to feel sleepy.

During the time he sits, Vance dozed off several times.

I was so sleepy that I lowered my head and fell asleep, but after a while, my consciousness still tried to stay awake, so I woke up. Back and forth, three or four times.

"Let's make a cup of tea. ”

For refreshments, some people like tea, some people like coffee.

For Vance, and even for the people of the mountain city, they are more inclined to drink tea.

"It's all this time. ”

Coming down the hallway, Vance looked at the next few rooms.

A few of them seem to have gone out and haven't come back yet.

This vigil probably fell on Vance.

Walking to the front desk, Vance rummaged through the drawers there, found a key, returned to the hallway inside, opened the pantry, and began to look for tea. I searched around and found a small packet of dried tea leaves in the most corner.

"This variety, it smells good too. ”

After a while, Vance returned to his room with the teapot, placed it on the coffee table against the wall, and poured himself a cup of tea. He walked to the chair, took a sip, and was about to sit down, when his face suddenly became shocked.

The cup fell from his hand and fell to the ground and spilled on the floor, and the steaming tea spilled onto his shoes, unaware of Vance.

Vance was stunned, staring, staring at Usharidorah in front of him.

From the bottom, the black spreads upwards, as if it has been painted with a human brush, gradually covering the color of the plant itself. Suddenly, Vance crouched down and picked up the golden cage on the ground, opened the cage door, and placed it on top of Usharidora, covering it.

Turning his head, he stared warily around.

******

After shaking off the group, the two moved on, but this time they had an extra eye, and in order to prevent what had just happened again, Samuel took out a bottle of potion.

"I don't know how many times I can use it. ”

sighed, no matter how distressed he was, he couldn't use it all the time.

"What kind of meow is this?"

"Invisibility potion, put your hand out, be careful, don't waste it!"

Samuel dropped a few drops of the potion onto the back of Lilil's hand, and then a few more drops into the palm of her own.

“…… It's a real meow, why didn't you take it out earlier if you have this kind of thing?"

"Do you know how expensive this stuff is?!"

This potion of magical invisibility, thanks to a piece of information that the guy provided him, took a lot of effort to make a difficult deal, and at the market price, this potion would cost at least a few thousand gold coins. Of course, when the deal was sold, Samuel only spent a thousand gold coins.

"Ming, understand meow, don't stare at Lilier's meow......"

After a short small talk, the two continued to walk, and after walking a short distance, they suddenly noticed something strange.

"Stop. ”

"What's wrong, meow?"

"Did you see that man?"

There was a man less than a hundred meters away from them, and because his back was facing away, it was impossible to see if it was a man or a woman.

"That person, a strange walking meow, a dancing meow?"

The man Samuel noticed was walking leaning forward, tilting to the left and then to the right, and his hands were shaking heavily.

"How is it possible, follow up and see, be careful. ”

Lilil understood. ”

******

"What a meow, where did the meow go!"

After coming out of the branch, Hima follows the direction of the scent that Lilil and Samuel had left on the street a few hours earlier.

"It seems to be the meow here, after being found by this princess, hum, Jima thinks about how to blame your meow!"

As he spoke, he stepped out, it was not too late at this time, and he had to find them quickly.

When Himma thought this, before she could get out of the street, one of the magic items on her body reacted.

"Meow?"

Stopping, Himma took the prop out.

"Is it Hima, can you hear me?"

"Luxma?!"
