Chapter 2: Cat Ears
in a small city.
Belen, who was sitting in the caravan, was now admiring the scenery around him, and although he looked a little listless, he did have an admiring mind.
Belém's trip was not to travel around a few nearby towns, as a businessman, he was naturally going to do business, but in fact, he was carrying a big business.
And the destination of this trip can also be said to be a long way, after all, he is going to the imperial capital of Elolanya.
There are three kingdoms on the continent plate of this world, Florentis, Andiliga, and Opouro, and Belém was born in the land of the "Florentis" empire, and Elolana is the imperial capital of this kingdom.
Belen's mission could only be completed if he got there, but since there was no time limit, he wasn't in a hurry, even though the thing he was going to bring with him should be important.
It wasn't the first time Belén had been to this small city, and it was still daytime, so he didn't plan to stay here, so he continued to leave at the other side of the city.
After a while, Belen patted the earth dragon on the back, and the big man immediately stopped, turned his head, and then prostrate himself on the ground to rest.
Belen turned his head to look at the tavern on the side, he jumped out of the caravan, and walked over, just in time, there was no alcohol with him.
As he walked into the tavern, a cacophony rang in Belen's ears, and he looked at the group of shirtless men in the tavern, then withdrew his gaze and walked to the counter.
Belen looked at the middle-aged man in gentleman's clothes and explained to him the wine he wanted, the middle-aged man nodded, and called a few guys to run to the back to get the wine.
"I heard that the Raven Bandits are roaming outside our city."
"That's right, that's all guys who do everything."
"My friend saw those guys loitering outside the West Gate this morning!"
Hearing the topic of sudden unity, Belen also stood in front of the counter and listened, he shook his head helplessly, originally he planned to go west, it seems that now he has to change directions.
He didn't want to get involved with those unreasonable guys.
Put all the liquor in the second carriage and wrap it in some air cushions to prevent the cart from destroying the fragile items in the event of a collision.
However, Belen still took a small jug of wine in his hand, he took a sip, and then patted the huge body of the earth dragon, and the big man also got up and continued to move forward.
Belen headed north, just in case he ran into the Raven Bandits, who were very interested in merchants like Belen.
Half an hour after Belen left the small town, he was driving his caravan down the forest road, but just as he was watching the fallen leaves, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse.
This look made the corners of Belen's eyes jump immediately, and he saw a few guys whose backs gave people a fierce and vicious feeling, and they all held some murder weapons in their hands.
Therefore, he immediately judged the identity of this group of guys.
Although Belen wasn't sure if these guys were the Crow Thieves, it was obvious that they wouldn't be good, so he wanted to sneak away while these people didn't find out.
Belen patted the earth dragon and said cautiously, "Man, go lightly, don't let those guys find us." ”
The big man turned his head away, blinked at the corners of his big eyes, and then turned back to continue walking, his limbs deliberately slowing down a lot, apparently he understood what Belen meant.
Just as Belen was about to slip away quietly, a voice suddenly came.
"Go away! Stay back! ”
Belen turned his head to look, and his gaze passed through the robbers, landing on the two figures clinging to the big tree inside, and his eyes flashed with a faint glow.
"Subhuman?"
They were two girls, but unlike ordinary people, they also had two cat ears on their heads, and a tail could be faintly seen behind them.
The two girls look quite similar, even the physique is clearly different, obviously a pair of sisters, but they are obviously in a bad situation.
The robber at the head was a tall man, with a black turban wrapped around his head and a knife in his hand, and he was looking at the cat sisters with a smile on his face.
"Asian girls can sell a lot of gold coins in the black market, although both of them are a little smaller, but some of them should be very interested."
I don't know how long the rags of the two girls have been worn, and their faces that should be quite cute are also dirty at the moment, and I don't know what they have experienced.
At this moment, the cat girl who is an older sister is protecting her sister, her small body is trembling slightly, obviously very scared, but she resolutely faces the robber in front of her.
Belen took in the sight from a distance, and he withdrew his gaze, but then swept his gaze in the direction of the bandits, and was silent for a moment, then slapped the earth dragon with his palm.
The leader of the robbers laughed, and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't try to resist, or I will do everything." As he spoke, he touched the edge of the sharp knife in his hand.
The older cat girl gritted her teeth tightly, she didn't dare to show the slightest resistance, she knew that she and her sister could not escape, so the light called despair gradually came to her heart.
"Why..."
The girl pursed her lips, closed her eyes in despair, and hugged her more petite body tightly, but just as she was about to give up, a scream suddenly sounded in front of her.
Bang bang bang ...
In front of the girl, the robbers suddenly fell to the ground and cried out in pain, and the older cat-eared girl also opened her eyes at this moment, and she looked at the ground in front of her unconsciously, holding her bent legs.
"What..."
Although she didn't know what was going on, the older cat-eared girl knew that if she didn't run, she wouldn't have a chance, so when she realized this, she immediately pulled her sister and ran into the forest behind.
A few hours had passed since Belém left, and as night fell, the temperature in the forest had dropped, not only a little eerie, but also very cold.
At this moment, the earth dragon was eating the food prepared by Belen, and Belen had just started a fire in some wooden piles, and at this moment he was building some utensils, and was preparing to boil a small pot of broth to fill his stomach.
After a while, when the soup was ready, Belén took out a bowl and a large spoon from the wooden box beside him, and filled a bowl of soup from the pot, which was still steaming and fragrant.
Belen couldn't wait to blow and let the soup cool down a little, but just as he was about to drink the soup, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the two figures that came out of the darkness in front of him.
When he saw these two people, Belen's eyes widened slightly, and then returned to normal, he focused on the soup again, and then took a sip, which warmed his body a lot.
The two were the Asian sisters who were almost kidnapped by the robbers during the day, the older cat-eared girl looked at Belen who was drinking soup with some vigilance, while the younger cat-eared girl looked at the small pot of soup with a little daze, her little mouth slightly open, and she almost drooled.
The two of them were attracted by the light here, and they should not have been here for safety, but when they smelled the tempting scent, they couldn't help but come over.
Belen finished the bowl of soup and looked at the two girls who were still standing there, his gaze looking calm but seemingly silent.
