Volume I, Volume II, Chapter VI

The afternoon air is still fresh, there is neither the cold wind of winter nor the scorching sun of the desert, only the warm sun and the sound of gurgling water.

"Cat's Eye" just found a big rock, took advantage of the cool breeze in the mountains, and lay down on the surface of the stone and fell asleep. And his gray-and-white cat with folded ears also lay on his belly, treating him as a big stone bed, and slept together with his eyes closed.

The fold-eared cat was sixteen years old and was nearing the end of its life, but apart from some graying whiskers and hair, its vigorous skills still made it seem that it was younger than its actual age - a small bird had just tried to fly down to get a look at the body of the "cat's eye", and was immediately caught by the squinting gray-white folded ear cat. Grab it in your hand and play with it.

The thin cloth tied in front of the "cat's eye" trembled slightly, but the eyes behind the cloth were already blind, and even if his nickname was cat's eye, no one would see the cat-like eye.

He stretched, then put the folded cat back on his shoulder and continued on his way.

Every part of the forest seems to have become a painting, which has already been painted in the heart of the "cat's eye". He doesn't need to rely on his eyes to easily find the right way, although sometimes he will take the wrong road or step on the air because of a little misunderstanding, but the folded ear cat will always tell the owner at the first time to let him correct the walking route.

He and his cat came to a small hut, and there were tall bamboos growing near it, and there were many weeds and wild flowers that covered the surroundings of the hut, as if they were going to pick it up. There are also some fences outside the hut to protect the fields that should have been planted with a lot of vegetables, but the fields have long since become barren, telling passers-by that the owner is no longer there.

The folded-eared cat entered the cabin before the "cat's eye", jumping in through the broken window. "Cat's Eye" found the location of the main entrance and slowly pushed open the wooden door to enter. A strong musty smell in the house suddenly covered the nose of the "cat's eye", and even the gray-white folded ear cat felt bad and hurriedly jumped out of the house.

It's just that "Cat's Eye" didn't care about this, just groped forward by himself, until he touched a stool, and then slowly sat down.

At this moment, the gray-white folded ear cat made a "hissing" sound, and "Cat's Eye" knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

The woman in the plain black hooded robe didn't look at the cat, walked in directly from the house, and sat down opposite the "cat's eye". Then she lowered her hood, revealing her beautiful face, the current saint of the Holy Oguna Empire, Goliath.

"You're still as beautiful as ever. Although Cat's Eye couldn't see with his eyes, he believed that Golia must still be as attractive as he had seen before he lost his sight, but Golia, who was getting older, had become more charming than she was.

"Thank you for the compliment, it's a great honor to have a blind man compliment me on my looks, isn't it?" Golia's voice was very different from that of her twin sister Delia, for her voice was gentle and soft, like a smooth piece of silk, caressing someone's face.

The gray-and-white folded ear cat gradually adapted to the smell coming from the house, jumped on the shoulder of the "cat's eye", and stared at Golia, who was dressed in a black robe, with round eyes, as if staring at a prey.

"You must have chosen the teacher's former residence to meet me, there must be something very important, right?" Cat's Eye knew that Golia was able to mobilize a lot of resources, but he was still a little surprised that the other party was able to find him, and the little red-haired girl who found him was able to clearly point out places that only he, Gloria, and Bennicott knew.

Gloria didn't beat around the bush, she swept the dust from the wooden table with the back of her hand and said, "You also know that now I only have that cane, and the other seven life weapons have reappeared, I hope you can put me last." The voice of the Holy Maiden of the Holy Oguna Empire was soft, as if she was begging the other party to give some water to those who were thirsty.

Cat's Eye didn't answer, he just fell silent, as if he hadn't heard what Golia had just said.

Goliath waited for a long time, and seeing that "Cat's Eye" did not agree to her request, she immediately said: "If you can't put me at the end, I hope you can snatch the 'twin necklace' back from that person's hand first, so that Ben Nicott can rest in peace" At the end of this sentence, Golia's tone was already a little choked, I don't know if it was true feelings or acting.

The folded cat meows loudly, apparently unhappy with Golia's proposal, probably because of the mention of Ben Nicot.

"You remember him. ”

"Of course, I asked my men to get the necklace that held the ancestral kyanite back from that tomb," Golia said as she slowly placed the necklace that Avi had snatched from her pocket on the table, "Ben Nicott's body is still intact, and that tomb has collapsed, so let him rest there?"

"Cat's Eye" didn't reach out to take the necklace, and he didn't take the other party's words, just sighed softly, it was a sense of powerlessness over the reality of powerlessness.

"I'll take care of that guy myself, just like I brought him there and I'm going to take him away. When "Cat's Eye" said this, the gray-and-white folded cat on his shoulder also swept its tail in agreement.

Goliath nodded with satisfaction, she took one of the "cat's eyes" hand, and then put the necklace in the palm of the other party's hand, "Do you really want to destroy all the life weapons by yourself? You couldn't do it before, but now you have lost your eyes, why are you so persistent?"

"I've been immersed in pain for more than ten years, but in fact, I just haven't had the last enlightenment," "Cat's Eye" took off the thin cloth that covered his eyes, and then slowly opened his eyes, one of which had become an eye hole and was empty, while the other side of the cat's eye had turned pure black, "Now I have already let go of everything, and I must not only destroy all life weapons, but also those who have used magic, until the teacher's last wish is fulfilled." ”

Goliath knew that the man in front of her was indeed blind, but she knew better that the other party's dark eyes had become like that because of some magic, perhaps it was the forbidden magic that the teacher had only told "Cat's Eye" about one person, the kind of skill that could improve something.

In fact, she also wanted to know the secret of the taboo, but the teacher was "very partial" - perhaps because the teacher had long known that among the three disciples, only the most honest and diligent "Cat's Eye" was the one who could entrust everything.

"I also want to follow the teacher's will and fulfill his last wish, but I still think I can use it"

"Cat's Eye" shook his head, and he said lightly: "No, you know that I didn't agree with your approach thirteen years ago, and even now, I won't agree with it, so there's no need for you to continue." The gray-and-white folded-eared cat also "meowed" and echoed its owner.

After a moment of silence, Gloria stood up.

"You can borrow the greedy heart of the world! Obviously those people are hopelessly stupid! Obviously, those with life weapons will kill each other!" Goliath looked at the "cat's eye" who did not raise her head, and said loudly with her hands on the wooden table, "Since they are willing to be my pawns, why don't you put them all in a useful place? Why do you have to disagree with me? You must insist on going your own way?!"

Golia's voice lost her natural gentleness and gentleness, so frightened that the birds outside the wooden house quickly flapped their wings and flew away, and even the folded ears cat, which was accustomed to seeing big scenes, was shocked, and its tail stretched out and trembled.

Golia, who exhaled with her mouth in a big gulp, straightened her messy hair with her hands, she felt that what she had just said was heartfelt and sonorous, and she should be able to touch the other party, but she still underestimated the stubbornness of "Cat's Eye".

"So Bennicott is your pawn, the little red-haired girl who knew magic was also your pawn, the Agona Empire's authorities, and other resonators with life weapons are of course your pawns, and even your own sister Delia," Cat's Eye said as he took the fried folded cat into his arms and gently stroked his fur, "These people are your pawns, even I, who is sitting in front of you and listening to you, will be no exception." ”

The words "cat's eye" entered Gloria's heart. In fact, Goliath had no intention of letting her own sister be executed in her place, and she could have rescued the other party - she should have been able to take her with her when she was evacuated.

It's just that in order for Golia to become the most mysterious person on the continent, she must let her sister act in this drama instead of herself, so that everyone in the entire continent, at least the Holy Oguna Empire, believes that she is really a saint with boundless power. As long as Delia, who looks exactly like herself, dies in front of everyone, and then immediately appears elsewhere, she will definitely be able to make people's hearts fall, and as long as she can control people's hearts, she will be able to carry out her plan more smoothly.

As for herself, Delia is just a mercenary who looks exactly like herself. Her two-color blade mercenary group turned out to be a mercenary group for the common people, it's an idiot! The mercenary group of only a few thousand people and some secret mercenaries of little use are nothing to her own plan - besides, her own sister will definitely become a stumbling block to "greatness", since Delia is willing to carry out this plan she proposed, let her go.

"Actually, your sister really loves you, but your extremely greedy heart controls you, do you think those smart people will really be deceived by your tricks?" "Cat's Eye" said this, and also stood up, intending to walk outside the house, because he felt that he had talked enough to the woman in front of him, and the so-called Tao was not the same.

"That's right, smart people won't be fooled, but smart people will always be a very few, I only need to control most of the fools, this world is in my hands, let alone life weapons or magic at that time. Gloria watched Cat's Eye leave, but she finished her words in the back.

"Hemos, you'll agree with me someday!" Goliath called out Cat's Eye's real name, but she was only telling herself.
