Chapter 92: Suspicion
Whether it's a pet or a friend, Atalanta doesn't really say anything right about Kailas's relationship with herself. Proud cat goblins do not serve as human pets, and even sometimes they are raised by humans as real cats, and when they temporarily take off their coats and boots, they do not consider themselves to be friends or family members of the food provider, cat goblins have no friends, they are born proud, and they have the proud capital to live alone without relying on anyone. Therefore, to the cat goblins, they are protectors.
But this protection is different from the knights' so-called allegiance and protection, and the knights' protection is the same, that is, no matter who they swear to whom they swear and what changes will occur in the future, the creed of loyalty predestined the knights to carry out their oath as a constant shield and spear. But the cat goblins, they are more like the so-called rangers in the poem, except that the rangers often make their own judgments by drinking ale in the tavern and listening to the sounds around them, while the cat goblins are more inclined to lie down by the fireplace and lick the milk on the plate.
"I've gotten the news of the Yew people before, but I didn't expect them to really dare to do anything like you. Those damn treants, you're the Crown Prince, how dare they!" said the Yew Man, and Kairaz looked angry, his teeth poking out with excitement, and the vertical pupils in his eyes thinning. However, this state only lasted for a moment, and he quickly regained his graceful demeanor, and the two ears on his head shook, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper." I'm a little excited, I beg your pardon. ”
"So, you rushed to her?" said Cheese playfully, his gaze still wandering over Kairas's body. Cat fairies, these are very, very rare creatures, their behavior, habits, all kinds of information are extremely valuable. Besides, aside from these, Kailas's appearance is also very likable.
The cat fairy turned to look at the mage, his beard trembling in the swing of the gray robe, which he recognized as the gray robe, but not the cheese. So he put on his hat and looked up in a proud but wary tone and said, "So, are you really in a gray robe, or are you just looking for something to cover your hair and eyes?"
"If you think that everyone in a gray robe can take out a yew man, then I'm an ordinary person in a gray robe. "In fact, showing the emblem on the gray robe to the other party can prove your identity to those who really know the gray robe. However, Cheese didn't do that, and Kailas's appearance made sense from the cat elf's own explanation, but that didn't mean that Greyrobe would actually accept his words right away. Indeed, because of the Yew attack, Atta's allies in the fairy kingdom will come to her aid. But think about it from another angle, because the Yew people did not succeed in their operation, and even lost the trace of the female swordsman again under the roasting of dragon fire, will the person who hired them not be able to sit still?
Kailas clearly didn't expect the gray-robed human to answer him like that. In the eyes of the elves, even the spellcasters are only slightly interesting humans, and their skills and knowledge are not comparable to the skills of the elves, even the wizards who can defeat the yew people. The Yew people were originally the dumber part of the goblins, otherwise they wouldn't have sold their skills everywhere for petty profits. But it's impossible to make a cat goblin bow down with a single sentence.
"Hmph, what if you are not in a gray robe? Anyway, you brought Atta with you to covet her ability and Vlakrag, I was not here before, and Atta had no choice but to walk with you temporarily for the sake of safety. Now that I'm here, she doesn't have to be with you anymore... Hmm!" Kelas could finish her sentence when the swordswoman covered her mouth, smiled apologetically at Cheese, and ran aside with the ears of the cat fairy. You don't have to eavesdrop on their conversation to know that she's explaining her relationship with Cheese to Kailas.
"So, what the hell is that?" Batu had only recovered from his surprise at this point, and the boy had shrunk a little to the mage's side and whispered a question to him.
Cheese opened his mouth to tell him that it was a cat fairy, but then he thought about how he could explain to someone who had never had a concept of a fairy what a cat fairy was, and why the cat fairy appeared here and seemed so familiar with Atta, and besides, it was better for Batu not to know about these things than to know, such as Atta's lifespan. After a short period of thought, the mage replied, "Atta had a friend when he was a child, but that friend hated cats, so he always bullied the wild cats in the neighborhood. The spirit of the cat was not satisfied with this, so it cursed him and turned him into a cat as well, and as for how to lift the curse, only the spirit of the cat and himself knew. ”
This kind of fairy tale-like story will probably not work if someone who grew up in a blue lion. For people living in a certain level of civilization, the gods and their stories and deeds are all distant places or distant past, and they are unlikely to appear directly before their eyes. Unlike the blue lion, the people here are very close to the spirits they believe in, and even strictly speaking, they do not believe in the spirits, and do not regard them as gods in the high world overlooking all beings, and the spirits are here, with all things. Therefore, for the people of the grassland, the story of cheese is exactly in line with their way of survival and their perception of the world.
Batu nodded deeply, and there was a bit of sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Kailas, who was reprimanded by Atta, "He must be very bad to the cat to make the cat spirit so angry." But it doesn't matter, since he can already talk, walk and dress, then I don't think he will be too long away from turning back into a human!"
The mage nodded with a complicated expression, he didn't expect that the words he pulled out casually would be accepted so easily by Batu, and judging by the boy's reaction, he didn't have any doubts about it. In the past, Cheese would have criticized in his heart that this was the end of not mastering knowledge, but after experiencing the fact that the tattoos on Lothar's body were regarded as traces of the spirits by the people of the Charles, Cheese could not help but ask himself a question, perhaps, what is the case? If the world is really as the people of the steppe know, the heavens are not so high, and the spirits in the heavens are not so far away, then all their views that seem childish and even ridiculous to others are also a kind of truth.
"Maybe, but don't say it to his face, you know, he cares about that. ”
