Chapter 19: Buying a Cat
Of course, these beautiful things are just Piger's current fantasies. Since www.biquge.info the system has given such a generous treatment, it means that this meal is not so easy to eat.
When she got home in the middle of the night, Alice cooked and made some simple food. Even when using ready-made ingredients, it looks exquisite, and this is what Piger likes most about this alternative elf: he can always make a lot of delicious meals, and although he is fat, he doesn't eat much, and of course he is cheaper in the end.
The meal wasn't a pleasant one, though. The two girls had their own thoughts, wondering how to give a response to the Duke of Oran. Oran had only given them two days to consider the matter, and his tone was quite polite, as if it was their freedom to agree or not to agree.
Of course, Piggie didn't think the old guy would really be so reasonable. If Anne and Alice refused to use Betty's purifying light to remove the curse from the old man, would he give up this only chance to be reincarnated and give his soul to the demons?
"Anne, will we really be able to return to Atlantis?" Alice stroked Betty's ear, "If we can go back, then it can also be used as a candle of light, and we can't give the light to the big devil." - But the big devil has a point. Now Betty is so eye-catching, she will definitely be remembered by others. ”
At first, Alice tried to get some advice from Anne, but seeing that the girl rarely answered, she stopped asking anything. Every time Anne fell into deep thought, it would be like this, and the best answer would often come out of her silence.
Betty, who was at the center of the whole incident, had no idea that its owner was making a difficult decision for it, and instead stood quietly next to her food plate, watching Piger finish his food.
Hell knows why Pije has such a good appetite under such circumstances, and sometimes he suspects that he really has no heart after turning into a Glory Flame Dog, and always tries to convert food into energy.
The two little girls did not expect that the judgment of the Count of Oran would be quickly proved correct.
Early the next morning, after half a night's exhaustion, Pierge was still asleep on all fours, and Betty next to her was still curled up on the sofa, when a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
It was a merchant from a central city in the European Empire, who was said to have heard of a glowing cat elsewhere, so he traveled hundreds of miles overnight and was willing to pay a lot of money to buy it.
"Rest assured, we are exhibiting it as a mascot and will definitely not hurt it. I have a lot of commercial plazas in the European Empire, and such a magical cat will undoubtedly be the best means to attract customers. The merchant's expression was humble, but the gold coins he took out of his bag were particularly eye-catching.
After rejecting the merchant's request and the large amount of gold coins dangling in front of them, before they could sit down, another priest came.
"God is with you." The priest's expression was reverent, and he looked at Betty, who was playing by herself, "I was sent by the Holy Empire of Rus. Our archbishop believes that this cat is an angel sent by God to the mortal world, and I hope you will allow me to take it back. God is with you. ”
The priest was driven out by the ill-faced Piger. The guy in the white robe moved out of God, just because he didn't want to give money, and he was just as stingy and shameless as those priests of the Holy Light in Atlantis.
Then, one after another, strange people such as animal protectionists, circus directors, honorary presidents of the hunting organization, and so on, all of whom had a clear purpose, were to get Betty to themselves, either for fame or profit.
Of course, these people were rejected without exception, and the role played by Piger in the whole process should not be underestimated. This large husky squatted in the doorway, and if it bared its teeth, the visitor would surely flee.
Among them all, there was one of the most unlucky, the second son of the owner of a certain consortium, who clamored not only to buy a cat back as a pet, but also to marry Anne as his wife ten times higher than when the duke's son married the princess.
In the end, all the bodyguards brought by this unlucky guy were inexplicably beaten by others, and he himself was cursed by Anne, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get a wife in this life.
Betty's Persian cat can emit light, which is not news at all in the western suburbs, and people have long been accustomed to it. However, the Duke of Oran mentioned yesterday that so many people came to the door today to buy it, and it didn't take him to know that the old man must have sent someone to spread it.
In order to get what he needs, he will do whatever it takes, this is indeed the courage that a hero should have. However, Piger is now on the opposite side of Oran, so he has a deep contempt for this method.
Sam is coming.
After this burly guy left yesterday, his mind was full of irrepressible excitement, and he felt that he had sided with the savior, so that despite the fact that he had just been injured, he ran to a gray area in the western suburbs of Huangyan City like a nervous person, and a few **** sellers. After a fight, I finally felt a little more comfortable.
And today, the guy with a few more wounds on his face looked much more hideous than usual, and volunteered to let Anne give him something to do.
So Sem honorably took Piger's place. Having such a fierce and vicious man to receive it saved the two girls a lot of tongues.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was looking, Pigger took a thick book from Anne's package, entered a small compartment in the back room in his mouth, closed the small door, turned on the wall lamp, looked at the pages with his paws, and marked it with his fingernails from time to time.
This "Encyclopedia of the Three Planes" compiled by an astrologer named Saint-Denis is one of the most popular books in Atlantis, and it is rarely read on weekdays, and is basically placed in the most inconspicuous place in the library.
There are many reasons why this is so unpopular, the first of which is that none of the above is falsifiable, although the astrologer claims that these are his deductions based on the astrological signs, but no one has been to the other two planes, so there is no way to judge whether these theories are correct or not; The second is that the content is too varied, and the great astrologer's literary skills do not seem to be very strong, and the things he writes are extremely poorly readable.
It wasn't until Pyrrhic came to the Primordial Plane and found that everything matched Saint-Denis's description that he had to admit that the Great Astrologer was a fucking genius.
