Chapter 1413: The Battle of the Latent Teeth (Twenty-Nine)

At the same time, somewhere in Cairo.

"Hum meow~" Segrade's cat's head slowly emerged from a corner of the newsstand, looking at a man and a woman in a café thirty yards away.

In the café, Palamides was enjoying afternoon tea with Rosetta, the queen of jewels, and the two seemed to be chatting happily. Segrade frowned at his father, Palamides' expression. The big cat was sipping coffee, relaxed and happy, while his eyes were on Rosetta's face or in some deep groove a few inches below his face. The big cat's nymphomaniac expression like looking at his first love couldn't help but make his son gnash his teeth.

"What are you doing?" Juliet finally couldn't help herself, and glanced out from behind the newsstand, "So, you've been tasked with following Sir Palamides?

"That's Rosetta, the queen of gems, the richest man in Africa. Segrade replied in a low voice, as if he were afraid that Palamides would be heard at such a distance.

"So, Sir Paramides is dating Lady Rosetta, Queen of Jewels?" Juliet grinned, "But isn't Sir Paramides the father of two sons, and married to King Arthur's sister, Lady Vivien?"

When Juliet said the word "cheating", Segrad shivered all over his body. He frowned more deeply and explained, "Ahem, first of all, Uncle Palamides and Aunt Vivien have not officially registered their marriage at all, and they are not husband and wife. Even in the glorious region of Europe, it is not very normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that the leopard people originally allowed polygamy. ＂

Segrade was only halfway there, and Juliet was already looking at the little dark blue-black leopard with disdain: "I don't know what the situation is like on the Greek side, but I'm sure you're all a bunch of nasty machismos. Even such a young child can talk about the absurd system of polygamy so naturally, heh. ＂

Segrade glanced at Juliet and did not answer.

At the same time, Palamides and Rosetta in the coffee shop also got up from their seats, as if they were about to leave after afternoon tea.

"What now?" asked Juliet.

"Keep chasing meow, of course. Segrade continued to sneak forward, unaware of his own movements—even if he was a teenager, but how suspicious it must have been for an orc to creep around in a downtown area like this.

"Can't you be more generous?" the blonde girl reminded behind the leopard boy, "It's okay, they can't see us at this distance." ＂

"Rosetta, the queen of jewels, is a dark elf meow. Her hearing is so acute that she can theoretically hear even the sound of a needle falling to the ground ten miles away. Segrade continued to sneak cautiously, shrunk into the shadow of a large garbage can and hid it, before lowering his voice: "Lucky for us, now we are in this noisy urban area, and there are many lives and mixed fish, and she can't hear them all clearly." But if she and Uncle Palamides had been following her like this, no matter how natural the disguise was, the footsteps would have been recognized by her after a long time. ＂

"So you think you won't be recognized if you keep sneaking?" Juliet sneered, "I think it's more okay than normal walking?"

"That's why I'm going to do this. Segrade then took off his shoes and began walking barefoot on the hard rocky roads of Cairo. Like most cats, the leopard has pads on its feet, which are excellent for sound absorption. Segrad walks on the road without shoes like this, and the footsteps he makes are probably similar to the footsteps of a stray cat. Since Egypt is a country where cats are worshipped as messengers of the gods, Cairo has a huge number of stray cats, which has helped Zhalfir a lot. The sound of his footsteps mingled with the footsteps of the army of stray cats that could be seen everywhere, so that even if Rosetta had the ability to reach the sky, it would never be possible to distinguish the footsteps of Segrade from the footsteps of other cats.

"Oh, so you're pretending to be a cat?" it took Juliet a few seconds to figure out Segrade's plan. She glanced at the pink pad on Segrade's feet, pretending to be disdainful on the surface, but inwardly feeling that the little leopard man boy in front of her was a little cute. However, once she understood what Segrade was going to do next, Juliet immediately shrugged her shoulders in dissatisfaction: "You can pretend to be a cat and walk like this, what about me? I'm a human being, and I don't have meat pads on my feet?"

"Then big sister, how about you go back like this?" Segrad had an idea, and thought of sending Juliet away. It stands to reason that Juliet has always been a burden, and the leopard boy would like to get rid of this girl immediately.

(At the same time, Segrad sees Palamides and Rosetta walking into a high-end clothing store together.) Presumably Rosetta yelled to go shopping, and Palamides reluctantly followed. ）

However, Juliet was very stubborn and refused to leave: "No, I said I would follow you all the way." Cairo is so bad at security, how can you let a little kid hang out - oh, yes!"

She turned her head and saw a shop on the left side of the street, and she was also inspired to take Segrad's hand and walk to the shop: "Come on, little Harris, just stay with me a little longer." ＂

"But what if you lose them?" Segrade wanted to refuse, but he saw Palamides and Rosetta enter the clothing store from a distance, and it was estimated that they would not come out for a long time, and he looked up at the sign of the store again, and the girl had pulled him into a clothing store.

"Huh?" Segrad was stunned for a moment, and was immediately pulled into the store.

"Welcome!" As soon as the owner saw a customer coming, he immediately pretended to be affectionate and came out to receive him.

As soon as Juliet came up, she said, "I need a pair of high heels, a pair of sneakers, a pair of casual shoes, and two pairs of children's shoes." The first three shoes were for me to wear, and the last two shoes were gifts for the child. ＂

"Okay, guest this way!" the boss's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that a big high roller was coming. He bowed and saluted, and led Juliet and Segrade to a shoe cabinet like a service VIP: "The high-heeled shoes counter is here, please pick slowly, pick slowly." ＂

Segrade glanced quickly at the shoes on the shoe cabinet. The shoe shop was clearly selling the idea of high-end shoes, the workmanship of the shoes was indeed first-class, but the price was also relatively outrageous, and a pair of cheapest leather heels actually asked for 10,000 Egyptian dollars, which scared Segrade's heart thumping, lest he accidentally damage any of the goods in the store and would have to pay a huge amount of money.

"What does [a gift for me] mean?" Segrad asked in a low voice as the shoe shop owner walked a little farther away, "The shoes here seem to be very expensive."

"Don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility for taking you into this shoe store to shop, and of course I will pay for all the money. Go pick out your favorite pair of shoes and put them on. ＂

"Big sister, I still don't understand what this means meow"

"You said it again, if you keep following Rosetta, she will recognize our footsteps. So I bought a few more pairs of shoes and replaced them every once in a while, so that the footsteps sound different from one to the other, so that she doesn't recognize us. ＂

"But"

"But it's unbearable to have me in shoes and you walk barefoot. Unsuspecting passers-by will probably think I'm abusing you. So you better stop going barefoot and at least put something on, okay?"

Segrade frowned suspiciously, trying to digest the obscure words. He was still carrying the shoes he had just taken off. It was his brother Zhalfir who had hurriedly bought it, after all, Segrade had suddenly become a child, and the clothes on his body did not fit well. And the shoes that Segrade was wearing just now were indeed just bargains, and compared to the goods in this shop that sold high-end shoes, the workmanship was simply crude and unelegant. Not to mention the shoes he was wearing, even the new clothes on his body were cheap colors that his brother hastily bought, although new, but the workmanship was rough and there were many threads, and it was obviously just the cheapest clothes worn by the most ordinary civilian children. Only then did he realize that he was walking down the street with Juliet in this bargain, and had been walking for nearly half an hour. His bargain was nothing compared to Juliet's well-made casual clothes with a simple and elegant design.

In short, Juliet just thinks that the clothes she wears on Segrade are too dirty, and walking on the road with her will lower her grade?

"Okay meow. Segrade was quite unhappy, but he still pretended to be a child who didn't know anything about the world, and sighed: "Thank you, big sister, meow." ＂

"Then you go over and pick slowly, don't worry. Sir Paramidis: They're sure they're picking out clothes, too, and they're not going to leave the shop so soon. Juliet said with a sweet smile.

Although Segrade felt insulted, he really couldn't refuse a girl who smiled at him like this. He walked over to the children's shoe counter and took a look, but his eyes were still as simple as possible at the lower price and the more modest design. Although he was turned into a child by the lake of immortality, Segrade's mind was still at the level of a normal eighteen-year-old boy, and the "cute" children's shoes with colorful workmanship and cartoon characters were obviously not to his liking.

"Hehehe, yes, it's just a little slave, but your master is really good to you. The shopkeeper came over to help Segrade pick out shoes and said casually.

"Slave, slave meow?" This sentence suddenly stung the leopard man boy.
