Chapter 21: A Snowy Night
"So, how did it come about?"
In the conference room, Fang Yu asked the others and curiously touched the cat with his hand. The cat was not afraid of life on the table, and rubbed the back of his hand with the fluff on his head and neck, looking intimate.
Seeing that the sky blue was itching, he also reached out to touch it, but a trace of vigilance flashed in the cat's turquoise-like eyes, and he stepped back cautiously, stretched out his paw and scratched the back of her hand, "Ouch! Sky Blue let out a low cry and withdrew her hand in pain.
"Ha, it looks like this little thing doesn't like you, Frey."
The big cat man laughed and stretched out his paws. The cat turned, tilted its head curiously to look at him, and then lowered its head and sniffed at his paws, then showed a reassuring gaze, meowed softly, and sat down with a ball and leaning against his furry paws.
"Hmph," Tianlan looked at this scene with envy and anger, so she felt the paw prints on the back of her hand hurt even more, and pouted: "Like-minded guys!" ”
Attila glared at her angrily, took her left hand away and examined the wound, only to see that it was only a skin wound, and then relieved.
And the perpetrator was sitting on the table with his head raised gracefully, looking at the others with emerald green eyes, which gave the impression of neither wariness nor curiosity, but the examination of each and every one of them.
In the light of the crystal lamp in the glass cover, it was snow-white and delicate, with some gray patterns on its head and front face, pointed ears, triangular forward, and black fluff like its front paws.
From the head and neck down, a ring of fluffy white fluff grows, making it look majestic and elegant, like a queen, patrolling her subjects.
But no one knows exactly how it got to the ship.
It may have been on board when they left Golland, but no one had seen the little creature for half a month. And it looks refreshed, not at all like it hasn't eaten for half a month.
Even before Attila took some cookie crumbs to it, it ignored it, sniffed it for a moment, and then swept the things aside with its paws - indicating that I don't like to eat them, and you can get me some more.
But it doesn't seem to be the case with a wild cat in the forest, and everyone only needs to look at the snowstorm outside, and the cat doesn't look like it has survived in such a harsh environment.
Tianlan covered the back of her hand and asked curiously, "What's her name?" ”
"Her name is Delis."
"How does the captain know?"
"Miss Tata told me."
Kita stood aside, blinked lightly behind the lenses, and asked softly, "Miss Tata, do you understand what Delis is saying?" ”
"Of course," Fang Yu was 10,000 proud of his elf lady, "Miss Tata is the guardian of the Great Silver Library, and she knows more than 60,000 languages—"
But I didn't expect Tata to shake his head lightly on the side:
"That's the name I chose."
She spoke quietly.
It was also very quiet in the conference room.
Everyone looked at their captain, only Fang Yuan's face turned red, and he couldn't help coughing, muttering in a low voice: "Having said that, I didn't say anything wrong......
Fortunately, everyone was accustomed to his appearance, and under the noisy shouting of Sky Blue, they discussed the varieties of this little thing again.
However, there are even more opinions on this point, and no one can come up with an authoritative argument, and there are really few selectors who have made it clear how many breeds of cats there are in Aitalia.
In the end, it was Miss Tata who made the final decision:
"This is a type of cat that lives in the Kaurin-Ishurian boreal forest."
"The long fluff is typical of their lives in cold forests."
"Isn't that the local cat?" Luo Yu asked.
"But it's rare to see something so beautiful."
And about the cat's whereabouts, everyone also disagreed.
Fang Yuan's suggestion was to wait for the wind and snow to stop, and then find a place to release it, it came from the forest in this area anyway, and it happened to return to the forest. And although this cat seems to be close to him and is not afraid of life at all, the origin is a mystery after all, and as the leader of the adventure group, of course he has to consider more factors.
Luo Yu and Kita also agreed.
Only Tianlan was anxious when she heard it, looking like she wanted to protect the other party, but she was afraid that she would be scratched when she stretched out her hand, and she was so anxious that she was about to die. "No, no, no!" She exclaimed, "We finally got a cat, and if we send it away, what will happen to the rats on the boat?" ”
The Paparal man said that he didn't care about it, and he stood on the stool with his hands folded: "What does it matter? There's a town ahead, so it's a big deal to buy another one, isn't it? ”
"I hate it, can you buy one and have this one so beautiful?"
Sky Blue glared at the Lion Man Paladin: "Mr. Big Catman, you are talking, this is your kind, maybe it's your daughter, look at the fluff on her neck - it's the same as you, isn't it?!" ”
The big cat's face was black, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
The little girl began to look for more allies again, and her eyes rolled to her heart: "Moreover, although there is still some money in the regiment, it is for shipbuilding, and every penny has to be counted as a tweed," she looked at the three ladies pitifully: "Attila, Sylvid, Sister Elisa, you say?" ”
Sylvid smiled slightly, but did not speak.
But this time Alyssa and Ettila were on her side, and Alyssa seemed to really like the cat's appearance, while Atira was on the safe side: "Let's wait until we get to the Maksun Creek station." ”
Fang Yu looked at the sky and felt that the wind and snow would not stop for a while, so he nodded.
He only asked Miss Goblin, "Is there no problem?" ”
Tata shook his head, "It's okay, Mr. Knight. ”
The two reached an agreement, and the others naturally had no more opinions, because they wasted a lot of time on this emergency, they also returned to their respective posts at this moment.
Only Tianlan looked a little proud, and the only thing that made her angry was that this cat lady didn't feel her hard work at all, and still looked like she didn't like to answer her.
As soon as he got closer, he showed his paws and looked at the little girl with a wary gaze.
Angry, the sky is blue, sighing and sighing.
The little episode did not last long, and as soon as the others left, Miss Delis jumped off the table, and she seemed to be very curious about Fang Ou, who followed him wherever he went.
It wasn't long before a cat was seen walking around the deck, looking like a square plover's attendant.
Seeing this, Sky Blue told Sylvest with some amusement that her job had been robbed—
And the ship's master lady was not angry, and looked at the cat with a smile, and the other party seemed to feel her gaze, and was looking up at her with emerald green eyes.
The ship staggered through the wind and snow under the tutelage of Mr. Greystone, and Fang Ou wore an overcoat and was on deck vigilant for the possibility of flying monsters. The cat lady was a little bored on the side, jumped up and landed lightly on the triangular platform on the side of the boat, swept the snow there with her tail, and then sat down with a low body.
At the same time she looked back and looked quietly at the snowflakes flying in the darkness in the distance.
Fang Yu was startled when he saw this, there was a wind and snow outside the side of the boat, and the boat was still swaying in the wind, he was afraid that this little guy would accidentally fall out.
But just as he was about to carry the latter down, the boat suddenly steepened, and at the same time a sound of pricking came from under the boat.
It was a sound he was familiar with, it was the sound of the reinforcing wire that connected the platform to the saddle on Mr. Graystone's back, and it made whenever it straightened.
He was shocked, and thought that there was a problem with the net cable, so he hurriedly looked down on the side of the ship, but saw that the reinforcement cable was at the end of the end, although he could not see the other end below, but it did not look like there was a problem.
At this time, Baggins also came to him and said to him, "Captain, the platform is tilting, it must be Mr. Limestone who has stepped on something, why don't I go down and take a look?" ”
Fang Yu turned around and agreed with the other party's opinion, but did not agree, but beckoned to Parker on the other side.
Paparal, in his senses, slammed his searchlight downwards.
The pillar of light shone on the snowdrift, and the two saw that there was a huge skeleton in the snowdrift, like a giant, crawling on the ground. Mr. Greystone had stepped on the ribs of the massive skeleton before, but when the latter couldn't bear the force and broke, their pack beast sank with it.
"I'll go down and have a look."
This time, Baggins didn't wait for his orders, rolled over and crawled out.
Fang Yu watched as the sturdy old sailor climbed down the net rope and disappeared into the darkness, while the others felt the shaking before, and also came up from under the patio to ask what had happened before.
Fang Yu shook his head and frowned, he was only worried that Mr. Gray Rock was injured, if he stopped in this place, it would be a big trouble.
Luckily, it didn't take long for Baggins to bring back the good news - the pack beast wasn't a big problem, and after he only removed the broken ribs underneath, Mr. Greystone would soon be able to move on.
At the same time, however, the sailors sent back another message.
"It looks like there was a fight down there not so long ago."
Baggins climbed up from underneath covered in snow, patted the snowflakes on his body, and said angrily while urning: "That thing is a large rib rack, it should have been killed by someone else, I saw that one of its shin bones was blown off, and there were traces of spells." ”
"It's a giant skeleton, it should be summoned from the corpse of a hill giant or a troll," Fang Yu had actually identified what kind of corpse it was, and then replied, "It looks scary, but it's actually only level sixteen." ”
"Then the level of those adventurers should not be high, I see that the large rib frame has a lot of slash marks on its body - it means that there are quite a few people besieging it, at least a small team."
A team was needed to encircle and suppress a sixteenth-level monster, and Fang Yu understood that the opponent's strength was probably even lower than them.
"Such a big wind and snow, and this bone frame has not been buried much, it means that the battle should not be over for long, and the other party should not be far from us." Baggins said again.
Fang Yu also nodded and asked, "What direction are they about?" ”
"The traces of the battle go all the way forward, and they should be right in front of us."
"Maybe it's someone from the Masunke Creek station," Fang Yu suddenly realized this, and turned back to the others and ordered, "Go up and see if there's anything that can help." ”
No matter where the other person is, it is also one of the ideas of adventurers to help each other, after all, no one can guarantee that they will not be in danger in the next adventure.
When you're out on an adventure party, there will always be times when you need someone to help you.
Of course, it's not without a team with a bad reputation and falling into a rock, but in a world with resurrection, most of these teams can't go far, especially a free adventure party like them.
So after Fang Ou set the tone, Attila asked Mr. Limestone to speed forward—because of the lessons of the previous car, Parker and Shesta used two searchlights to clear the way, and after the two pillars of light passed through the snow curtain, the traces left by the previous battles along the way became more and more obvious.
Fortunately, the ground is full of corpses of the undead, and no adventurer's remains have been found for the time being.
However, the possibility that the deceased had been resurrected in a nearby temple cannot be ruled out.
By the time the boat had tilted, the cat had jumped off the side of the boat first, left the crowd, and went alone to the galley. Fang Yu was still a little curious about how it could leave suddenly, but heard a scream from the front:
"There are monsters ——!"
"Brother Ed, help!"
Then I saw Tianlan's head pierced with a 'wow', and if it hit it right this time, Fang Yu would probably want an upside-down onion to fall from the boat.
But fortunately, he was prepared, and hurriedly moved to the side, so that Luo Yu in the back could catch the little girl.
"Protect her."
Fang Yu shouted.
At the same time he turned his head just in time to see a black object flying through the rain and snow, and in the light of the searchlight swooped straight in this direction. At that moment, Fang Yu raised his right hand without thinking about it, and launched his flying claws.
There was a muffled sound, and the flying claw turned a corner in the wind, seemingly missing the thing, but under the control of Fang Yuan, it sank in mid-air, and actually grabbed the thing's foot steadily.
"Prepare to attack!"
He just shouted.
The tiny magic engine on his gloves let out a high-pitched chirp, the cable stretched straight, and dragged the thing along the platform in a half-circle and crashed to the deck with a 'thud'.
Baggins drew his handcuff and fired a shot in that direction, and in the flash of fire, it was obvious that the thing had been shot.
But suddenly, Fang Ou felt a loosening of his hand, and after being shot, the thing actually turned into a group of chirping bats, flying in all directions, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant. And before the crowd could figure out what was going on, they heard the Paparals shout in front:
"Spotted those people!"
"Wow, what a lot of undead!"
"They're almost finished——!"
Everyone was stunned, and then they turned around and looked at the snow in front of them.
