Chapter 67: The Old Man Meets

Later that evening, she and Alexie arrived in a small town called Vilam. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As night fell, they booked a place to rest for the night at an old inn, and then, Alexie walked out again, as if she had something important to do, and she was very curious about it, and she would not let go of this opportunity, no matter how much Alex despised herself with her eyes, she made up her mind to follow the thing, trying to figure out what the cunning magical girl wanted to do, and why she suddenly changed her schedule.

Fortunately, for her obvious intention to stalk her, although a certain magical girl looked a little dissatisfied, she didn't say anything to drive her away after all, and accepted the existence of this little tail.

Wandering around the somewhat dilapidated city, both she and Alexie herself were very patient, and there was a tendency to walk around the town.

The sky gradually became darker, and the lights were lit up all over the town, but the quaint stone roads were still a little indistinguishable, and the wind was gently blowing, and it was a little cold.

"Hey, little girl, it's been so long, you shouldn't be deliberately entertaining me, right?"

She raised her eyebrows, complaining to Alex through a psychic connection, but she was deliberately trying to test the cunning little fox.

"Hmph, I didn't let you come along?"

Alexie glanced at her and said in a light tone, obviously teasing some clingy guy who couldn't get rid of it.

"Hey, hey, hey...... I'm just walking, well, walking!"

She just smiled and looked up at the stars in the night sky, looking for a 'reasonable' reason for her actions.

"Hmph, it's a walk! You're really in a good mood at night......

Alexie snorted coldly, biting down on the pronunciation of a certain word, her expression extremely disdainful. But before she finished speaking, the magical girl suddenly stopped and stood still.

However, she didn't think that the magical girl was deliberately trying to stop and see if she could actually continue walking. Because, she noticed that Alexie suddenly turned her head to look in a direction, what seemed to be the roof of the house on the left, something attracted the magical girl's attention.

Hey?

At the same time, she looked alertly at Alexie's gaze, only to see a dark shadow flickering at one edge of the roof.

What's that? Animal?

She also stared in that direction, feeling a little strange in her heart. Because the shadow was small, it wasn't a big creature by the way it looked.

"Why sneak around when you're already here, Leia Gouladelli?"

Alexie spoke suddenly, raising her hand and pulling down the hood from her head, revealing the face of a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes, and her voice echoed around her.

"Oh, that's alert, Alexie!"

A voice suddenly came from the front of the two, but in the next second, it appeared behind them again, flickering left and right, as if someone was talking to them in turn from all directions.

Tsk, what kind of means is this?

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly, with a movement of her ears, a silver light was thrown out of her hand in an instant, and with a swoop, it was inserted into a broken wall in the left rear direction, buzzing, and when you looked closely, it was a delicate knife.

This was what she had bought from a stall merchant for a few silver coins when she first arrived in the town of Vilam, and although it looked sharp, it was actually made of ordinary material, easy to break or curl the blade, and it was just a simple way to satisfy this guy's playfulness, in fact, she had already had enough of feeling empty-handed!

"Ho ......"

Next to the knife stabbed, a cat with black fur squatted there at some point, and humanely glanced down at the knife whose tail was still trembling, and made a surprised sound similar to that of a little girl, and the tail was long, but it didn't even move, and it didn't move at all because of the sharp knife that suddenly flew and was inserted only a few centimeters away from it, as if it knew that it would not fly itself.

"Who is this...?"

The black cat raised its head and looked at her, very curious, with a pair of vertical pupils shining in the night, and spitting human words.

"My stupid summoning beast!"

Alexie took a few steps forward and came to the strange black cat, staring at it: "Tell me, call me here, what the hell is going on? You should know that I'm on a mission, right?"

Belch...... A, cat?

And, how can you talk?

Its name is Leia Gurardelli, and it's someone that this little girl knows Alexie... Oh no, do you know the animals?

She stood there and watched the strange scene in front of her, no matter how she looked at it, the picture of a man and a cat talking to each other was too discordant, right?

As for a certain magical girl's name for her stupid summoning beast, she just shrugged her shoulders and didn't care. Because, in a way, she was indeed summoned by this little girl! what kind of ownership or declaration of 'yours' and 'mine', if that counts, she still wants to say that the whole world is hers!

"On a mission, well, of course I know that......"

The black cat lifted its right paw, stuck out its tongue and licked it, just like a normal cat, but it spat out human language, and looked crazy. As he spoke, it raised its glowing eyes and glanced at Alexie, "Moreover, in our 'Witch's Hand' Vilidi City Branch, who else doesn't know that you took the initiative to ask Ying to go on the important task of tracking down the 'Dream Crown'?"

The Witch's Hand?

Not... Sure enough, this little girl is indeed the person of the 'Witch's Hand'!

A certain guess in her mind was finally confirmed, but she didn't expect it to be determined from the mouth of a black cat, and she couldn't help but feel that the world was starting to become a little ridiculous.

However, do you take the initiative to ask for help?

This little girl said before that she was commissioned to investigate this matter, so she was lying?

Hey, this troublesome task was deliberately taken up by this little girl herself?

"Hmph, no more nonsense, Leia!"

Alexie also seemed to notice that she had learned a lot of information from the black cat, so she couldn't help but shut it up, looked into its eyes and asked, "What the hell is looking for me?" You used the emergency level 3 'Dark Butterfly', do you just want to talk to me?"

However, the black cat didn't seem to hear the threat in Alexie's tone, but seemed to know the little girl's temperament very well, it lowered its right paw, and looked at Alex as well, and its tone became a little strange: "Oh? It seems that your mission is not going very well, Alexie?"

"It's none of your business!"

Alexie responded stiffly, but standing on the side, she heard that this little girl was a little embarrassed, probably because she couldn't hang her face in front of an acquaintance, right?

Tsk, the little girl is still shy? This is quite a rare thing!

She looked at Alexie's back, then at the black cat crouching on the broken wall, and became interested for a moment.

"Okay, I don't ask!"

The black cat stretched out its right paw and waved, as if it was worried that some magical girl would be annoyed and angry, causing the nearby flowers and plants to suffer, and it quickly said its intentions, but its tone was a little unhurried: "Alexie, I contacted you with the emergency level 3 'Dark Butterfly', but not for fun or to talk to you. Like you, I'm also for the mission, well, a mission to deliver a message!"

"Deliver a message?"

Alexie's brows furrowed, and she guessed the meaning of its words, and couldn't help but be a little strange: "For me?"

"Yes, a message for you. The black cat nodded, confirming Alexie's guess, and its tail wagged, circled to its left, and stopped: "This is an urgent mission issued by Lord Shamil Rhodes 'Astrologer', I just happened to be free, so I took it, well, by the way, let's see if you have been killed!"

Tsk, if there is no accident, this naturally refers to a certain leader of the thief group whose strength is far stronger than Alexie, and he has already killed two magicians who are tracking down this matter with gold-level strength, and it seems that it is not impossible to kill the little girl Alexie!

Not... Friends?

From this conversation, she probably guessed the true relationship between Alexie and the black cat named Leia Gouradelli.

However, after hearing the black cat's words, Alexie reacted with a bit of surprise, and asked him rhetorically, "'Astrologer' Shamil Rod, has she come out of the magic tower?"

"Yes, when he heard the news that the 'Dream Crown' had been stolen, he was very angry!"

The black cat nodded, and replied, its tail wagging again, circled to its right, the tip of the tail still shaking slightly: "So, she used astrology to predict the location of the 'Dream Crown'. ”

"Oh, as an adult, how would you meddle in such a trivial matter?"

Alexie still didn't believe it, and she groaned for a moment, as if something strange.

"Ha, who knows about this kind of thing? Maybe it's because some magic experiment failed, so she's not in a good mood, and she ......might want to find someone to vent her anger that has been building up for a long time."

The black cat laughed, it was the first time she had seen a similar human smile from such an animal, and she couldn't help but feel a little rare and interested, but the black cat didn't care about her surprised look of "come and see the cat", and said to himself: "Alright, down to business, Alexie! According to the astrological prophecy of the 'astrologer' Mistress Shamil Rhodes, the thief will appear in Wendelier City in five days with the 'Dream Crown'. ”

"Wendelier City, five days later?"

Alex repeated the message once, as if to memorize it.

"Yes, since the news has been successfully delivered to you, then I will go back as well. ”

The black cat didn't care what Alexie's reaction was, she stretched lazily and her hair all over her body, her four claws suddenly lengthened, and she scratched a few deep scratches on the broken wall, and she knew that if she was accidentally caught by its claws, no matter which part of her body was, it would probably be the kind of tragic end that was slashed by several sharp knives at the same time.

"Now, Leia, won't you give us a ride? You know, Wendelier City is a long way from here!"

In this regard, Alex did not look surprised, seemed to be well aware of the strength of this black cat, raised her head to look at it, and suggested in a calm tone.

Belch... Giving a ride?

It's just a cat, hey? How does it carry it?

Hearing Alexie's words, she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, but she didn't complain, just looked at the black cat curiously, as if she was looking at it if it could move if it was sat on by two people?

"Oh... Well, yes!"

The black cat spoke, and actually nodded, but the pair of glowing vertical pupils turned to look at her, who was looking at her, and said to Alexie: "However, in exchange, you will transfer the contract rights of this rare humanoid summoning beast to my hands!

"I refuse!"

Alexie's eyes flashed, her tone was a little angry, and she said without hesitation, "Hmph, she's mine!"

"Well, well, goodbye!"

The black cat shook its head with some pity, and as soon as the words fell, it jumped in the air, turned into a strange-looking bird in mid-air, flapped its wings a few times, and soon flew away.

“......”

Somebody, who had been treated like a cargo, watched the bird disappear in the distance, a little speechlessly, until it vanished.

Tut...... What is this?

Transfer? Quid pro quo? I seem to be being taken for something strange!
