"What's that!" Nuisa cried out, pointing to a spot in the darkening earth beyond the firelight, and several people followed her fingers to see two ghostly fiery things flickering in the darkness. And after being discovered, the pair of ghost fires not only did not move away, but got closer and closer, and slowly, the outline of the ghost fire attached to it was clear in the light, it was not a ghost fire, it was two eyes, the eyes of a cat. And cats that walk upright in clothes on the grassland, don't think about it and know that there aren't too many.

"Looks like the things you rescued are still alive and have good eyesight. Kairaz was resentful as soon as he spoke, and although the usual cat goblin was not very polite to anyone other than Atta, he would never speak ill of a lady he met for the first time, and belittle her as a thing. However, as the cat fairy approached the fire, more details about his body were captured by everyone, and the origin of this resentment was not so strange. Obviously, in order to cover the retreat of several people, Kailas took considerable effort.

The evidence is that the elaborate coat and the shirt in it have become dirty at this time, and the sleeve on his left forelimb has been torn off completely, revealing a red coat color, and Kailas is a solid black cat, so his red hair at this time obviously has only one source, blood. Judging from the traces of blood-staining, most of it is still the blood of the cat goblin itself.

"You're hurt!" Atta got up and ran to Kailas, carefully lifting the latter's hanging left forelimb and brushing the hair away in the firelight, seeing the wound still oozing inside. This explains why he's only catching up with the crowd now, and while the cat elf can walk upright, he can clearly move faster on all fours than on two feet.

"It's all right, dear ma'am, just a wipe. Kairas didn't sound concerned, but the twisted expression on his face as the fur near the wound was pulled away indicated that it was just a recklessness.

Cheese stood up, walked over to the cat and the female swordsman, and examined the wound for a moment, "There is still medicine left, just enough to put it on him." But before that, you have to remove the hair near the wound, otherwise you will be pressed into the wound together. Also, you'd better stop using this hand lately, I'm almost seeing the bones. ”

"Cut, that's just because my arms are thinner than yours, and I don't need you to close them, hiss... It hurts!" Kelas was interrupted by a slight press on the wound, who glared at the cat goblin with a look of obvious reproach. So the ears of the black cat, who was quite dissatisfied with the gray robe just now, immediately drooped, and the straight body became slightly curved, like a gasped dummy.

It's just that the reason why the female swordsman blamed him was not rude, "You don't have to work so hard, even if you want to be the queen of the palace, you can do it safer with the cover of fog." ”

Kairaz opened his mouth, revealing four sharp fangs, and then said weakly, "Yes, ma'am." I was so careless. But it can't be helped, those damn guys took my sword! That's the sword I swore allegance to you! They just took it, what an insult, what an insult..."

"If you live in peace, you will be more loyal, right, Mr. Knight. Atta gently stroked the back of the elf's neck, preventing him from continuing, and turned to Lothar. The latter spread out his hand and made an expression that was exactly that. At this point, Kailas's anger at being injured and losing his sword was completely extinguished, and he was pulled aside by the female swordsman and drugged.

"Is that a talking cat?" Nuisa didn't react until then, and asked Batu in hindsight, thinking that Batu, who was also from the grassland, was more likely to answer her question than the rest of the group. It's just that this time she asked the wrong person, because even Batu himself made up the origin of Kailas casually from Cheese.

Listening to the discussion between the two prairie people about the origin of the cat elf, Cheese and Lothar did not have the slightest intention of correcting them. As for the cat goblin himself, just being shaved was enough for him. When Batu and the others finally got a more satisfactory result, to be precise, the two of them concocted a version of the story that they could accept, Nuisa turned his gaze back to the others, "Whether it is the guidance of the spirits or not, I want to thank you for saving me." But as you can see, I can't repay you for the time being. ”

"It's okay, it's this kid's decision to save you, if you want to repay it, you can do it according to your rules. As for us, that's between us and this kid, and it has nothing to do with you. "How to repay a life-saver, and what the scale of repayment, is different in any civilization and tradition. Lothar knows this, because there are many similar examples in the knightly culture of the blue lion, and there are countless examples of good things turning bad between the rescuer and the rescued in the end due to the poor handling of the scale of repayment. Even so, it is better to throw this kind of trouble to Batu, who is also a steppe person, because the two have a common background, and it will be much easier to discuss.

And so it was, thirty-five sheep and fifteen cattle, and that was what Nuisa would pay Batu for this rescue operation. It sounds a little realistic, but just fifty animals can take the life of a wolf master's daughter. However, it is true that the grace of saving lives is difficult to repay, so it seems that the price is not enough, but saving a person does not mean that the rescuer has the right to get all the property of the rescued, otherwise it is not a rescue, but a disguised plunder. Therefore, life has a price, and its price is one-third of the number of livestock owned by the rescued, which is the consensus of the steppe people. As for why Nuisa is only a third of the daughter of the wolf lord, it is because the wolf lord has too many children, and apart from the more important heirs and daughters, the property that a child like Nuisa can get is really limited. This is mainly due to another reason, though.

"If you are willing to escort me back to my clan, I will receive my father's inheritance. You will be paid several times more than you do now. The daughter of the wolf lord said to a few people very seriously, and what she said was true. After the death of the wolf owner, his property will be inherited by the children separately, there is no so-called primogeniture system in the grassland, according to tradition, the son will get more property than the daughter, but in general it is fair.

Several people looked at each other, cheese of course they did not care about the wealth brought by these livestock, they were neither steppe people nor intended to live on the grassland for a long time. However, Nuisa's proposal was not entirely unattractive to them, "Is the tribe you are talking about far from here?"
