Tom's home, like many cat people living in the city, mainly built a simple house in those less visited alleys, there are actually many houses for rent in the city, but for the cat people, those tall and bright houses are completely unattainable for them, they can now have food every day, how can they still hope to live in such a rich house?

Tom is dressed decently in human clothes, but his short stature is a cat face, and he even wears a gentleman's hat, even if the gentleman's hat has a very obvious patch on it, although the cats live in the city, but the cats need more identity, so the cats are dressed decently, even if they are extremely shabby, they are decent, and their movements are more human-like than any human.

Tom's every move has an obvious human style, to be honest, Tom's life in the city, belongs to the upper middle level, mainly because the boss is more benevolent, almost manages Tom's three meals a day, Tom saves a little, breakfast is reserved for lunch, lunch can be taken home to his family to eat, and Tom's boss will still give a little symbolic money every month, these money can buy very few things, but Tom is not a few cat people There is still a salary.

Even the miniature version of Tom's shabby gentleman's cotton coat was given to him by the boss his son's rotten clothes, and then Tom's wife found some rotten cloth from the trash can, sewed and mended, repaired and modified, and made such a decent set of clothes, although the clothes were shabby, but extremely clean, and I don't know how the cat man's fluffy little hands washed the clothes so cleanly.

Tom walked on the way home, dodging the stagnant water dripping from the eaves from time to time, he even brushed a few wisps of cat whiskers that were hit by water droplets, Tom's home is in an alley on the outskirts of the city, cat people almost live in all the alleys of the city, because there are no people, so cat people can build some simple houses in these places against the wall, a few sticks, a few animal skins left by their ancestors, just build a small shack, if you are lucky, there are some planks that can be used, and because of the area of the alley, There is no need to be afraid of too much wind and rain here, so this kind of house is very popular with cat people, and Tom's alley is full of twenty cat people families.

Standing on the side of the avenue, as the crowd waited for a passing carriage, Tom walked through the street with the crowd, the number of humans and cat people in the crowd was half of the total, mainly located in the outer city, it was the main gathering place of cat people, so there were a lot of them, Tom's home was in the alley across the main road, there were cat people living in almost every alley, Tom walked into one of the alleys familiarly, in the alley at this time, it was not as dark as imagined, There is still a lot of sunlight missing from the roof space, and there are many cats and children playing in the alley, although they are hungry and thin, but they are still healthy.

For these cat people and children, it is almost a paradise existence, safe, there is something to eat every day, and the tall species around them are generally friendly than hostile, which is mainly due to the improvement of human living standards now, so for those species that are not hostile to themselves, they are more friendly, and how to say it, cat people they are, uh, look quite cute, even if they are adult cat people, they are also extremely likable, and the attitude of human beings towards cat people is still very good overall, These cat-people and children will go out and wander around the city every day, and will go up to help anyone who needs help, and in general, the humans who are helped will give some food in return.

So although these cat people and children are not full, but they are not hungry, Tom appeared in the alley to make the three outermost kitten people instantly cheer, just like all children, his father will always be a childhood idol, and to be honest, Tom is indeed the best of all the cat people in this alley, it can be seen from his dress, he has at least a worn, but decent gentleman's coat and hat, and he can bring back a lot of food every day, You can still get a little money every month.

"Let's go home and eat!"

Tom said a word to the three of himself, and walked towards his own home, Tom's house was completely incomparable to his wealth, like other ordinary cat people, a small black house, with a small fire outside, and a small pot of boiling water on it, in which a few meat bones were boiled over from human eating, and human food scraps were also one of the main sources of life for cat people.

To be honest, this kind of life is really helpless, but for cat people, this is really a better life, they have food almost every day, have a safe environment, don't worry about all kinds of dangers, even pick up the leftover food that others eat, there is much more meat left in it, this is really too happy for cat people, so cat people don't have any feelings, maybe they will not be angry at the status quo after their next generation sees the standard of living of humans, but now, their hearts are only grateful.

Tom shows that when he enters the house and puts away his clothes and hat, his wife, a gentle cat-woman, always has a gentle smile on her cute little fluffy face, and although it is a cat face, she looks extraordinarily clear-eyed:

"First take it and force the oil out, put it in the soup pot, and then heat the meal, and you can eat."

Tom took the wooden box he was carrying to his wife, and the cat-woman nodded meekly, looking at her husband with a look of pride, in this alley, only their family can eat meat every day, and it is a lot of oiliness:

"By the way, go and wash your clothes first, tomorrow I heard that His Majesty Miko is coming, so it's better to dress clean."

The wife just nodded gently, then put the meal aside, picked up the clothes and went to wash, the little fluffy hands looked very cute and delicate.

After Tom said this, he walked out of the door wearing his work clothes, Tom actually has few opportunities to change these clothes, and if he needs to wash clothes, he needs to go to other neighbors' houses to borrow clothes to wear.

Tom, who was wearing overalls, sat at the door and began to chop firewood, which were found by the kitten people from various places when they were wandering around the city, all of which were relatively small or too large firewood, and humans now prefer to use coal or kerosene, so firewood is rarely used, plus the ash swamp produces excess wood every day, and these kitten people can also help the family to manage enough firewood.

The most valuable thing in Tom's house may be this axe, as the only iron tool in the family, but it was passed down from Tom's grandfather, and people come to Tom's house every day to borrow an axe to chop wood, which is why Tom is so popular on this street.

Tom chopped wood and said to the eldest of his family, the eldest daughter:

"Lisa, go get the meal hot, your two brothers are hungry."

"Got it, father."

Although he is the oldest, Lisa's age is actually not enough, but how to say that sentence, the children of poor families are in charge of the house early, although Lisa is young, but she is already very sensible, he quickly threw away the two younger brothers who were playing with him, ran to the house, picked up the big wooden lunch box, and walked towards the broken iron pot outside.

She first carefully drove the fat in the meal into the soup pot, the soup pot that was not very tasteful soon began to emit fragrance, and the fat on it began to slowly pour into the bones, and the meal that was forced to dry the oil was directly put on the iron pot and steamed, using those water vapor to replace the flowing oil in the meal, although the nutrition in the meal must be greatly reduced, but in this way there are more things that can be eaten, Especially in the iron pot, there are many rotten vegetable leaves and some potatoes that cannot be sold in the vegetable market, mixed together, but they can also make their family full, in fact, the pot is also the main source of food for the cat people in the city.

Otherwise, how could those meals close to the human boss be! The meal was quickly heated, and Tom's wife had already cooled her clothes, and then took her eldest daughter to move the meal to the house, ready to eat, the house was very dim, almost no light, but this is no problem for cat people, after all, cats belong to night vision creatures, with and without lights are the same, and in terms of furniture, in addition to a rotten bed and a ball of cotton wool directly spread on the ground, there are only seven or eight straw mats, and the family meal is also directly sitting on the meadow, and then sitting on the ground.

The family quickly sat down together, and Tom was rightfully on top:

"Alright, let's start praying!"

Tom took the lead, closed his eyes reverently, and began to pray at an extremely delicate oil painting on the wall, don't get me wrong, this oil painting was not sold by Tom, but given away for free by the missionaries of the Empire, in fact, the missionaries almost wanted to let all the families in Middle-earth have Lelouch's portrait, and it didn't matter if they gave it away for nothing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Great Son of God, for such a wonderful day and such a sumptuous dinner, and I hope that your gift will make us just as happy tomorrow, Amen!"

"Amen!"

"Alright, let's eat!"

With Tom's last words, the atmosphere at home finally became cheerful, the two sons of the monkey rush directly grabbed the meat and bones in the soup pot with their hands, and the wife was gentle for Tom to serve his meals on a wooden plate, although he did not give him the meat and bones left over from the human diet, but there was also a lot of meat in the dinner that his boss was responsible for him, Tom's family used a spoon, watching the family sit happily together to eat, Tom felt really lucky, to be lucky to be able to enter the city to live, you know, outside the city, There are still a lot of cat people, especially in rural areas, where the attitude of humans is not as friendly as here, and there is not much garbage left, and there are few job opportunities, and the boss is even more hateful.

Of course, what Tom is really grateful for is Lelouch, not because he has seen Lelouch give them benefits, but because his boss's family will pray to Lelouch's portrait every day with great piety, under this drive, Tom is not pious and difficult, eating, thinking about His Majesty the Son of God who may pass by tomorrow, Tom suddenly has some small expectations, and he really wants to see the great Majesty of the Son of God, what kind of Zhang.

The night is slowly deeper, and the houses of those humans begin to release bright lights, and the cats are doing the last thing of the day in the dark, falling asleep early, they may be the first people to wake up in the city, and they are also the last people to fall asleep, until Tom gets up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and can still see a lot of cats who work overtime to sweep the floor come back, but Tom does not feel how tired they are, but is very envious, because their work is the most wanted job for all cat people, directly serving the government, The government is extremely generous, not to mention the food, even the wages are extraordinarily rich, this time the work is enough to earn a hundred copper plates back, and as for the food, it is even better, the government is the most generous to the food, just a glance, Tom saw that none of these cat people who swept the floor overnight took at least two pickled fish, half a catty of bacon, and a sack of potatoes and rice, these things are very eye-catching, but the only bad thing is that this kind of activity is very rare, far less stable than working for human bosses.

When the cat people fell asleep, Lelouch had already come to the periphery of the gray swamp, looking at the more than twenty dragon sacrifices in the sky that were besieged by hundreds of dragon vulture knights, and none of them ran out, and looked at the falling dragon sacrifices with a little curiosity.

Sure enough, as soon as Lelouch arrived in the Ash Swamp, Mordor sent an assassination force, although they also knew that most of them could not succeed, but they still sent people out with the attitude of giving it a try, the failure of these people did not make Lelouch curious, what made Lelouch curious was the equipment on the body of the flying dragon sacrifice, Mordor finally began to pay attention to air power, or rather, to pay more attention.

These Wyvern sacrifices can no longer be called Wyvern sacrifices, but should be called Wyvern warriors, whether they are Wyverns or the warriors on them, they are all dressed in fine armor, and the weapons and equipment on their hands are almost the same as the human dragon vulture knights, but they are heavier, they are all super long riding spears and sky muskets, uh, maybe it is more appropriate to call them Sky Hand Cannons.

A small cannon mounted directly on the Wyvern's back.

Paying a little attention to these Wyvern sacrifices, Lelouch looked at his destination this time, the Gray Swamp, the Fog Gray Province, where there were no more swamps and forests, only the land that had just been reclaimed, and the white fog that had become much thinner.
