Like Zheng Qing, shortly after entering the Magic Mirror Passage, Xiao Xiao was also separated from his companion in front of him.

But unlike Zheng Qing, Xiao Xiao didn't have a chance to turn around and hug his companion behind him - because before that, the unreliable captain classmate behind him had already let go of his hand.

So he could only fall into the dream realm alone.

Fortunately, the place where Xiao Xiao fell was a large river with gentle currents. He didn't even waste the spells copied from the Dharma book, he just waved his arms and shaved the water, and swam ashore from the river.

As he stood on the shore, took off his robe, and wrung out the heavy water marks on his robe, his surroundings were all in his mind.

It was a river valley, with hills of shrubs and small farmlands behind it, and in front of him was the great river he had just swam ashore. The river is gentle, clear and blue, and a touch of golden scales spreads from upstream to downstream, and white waves float on the surface of the water, frozen in the river.

From afar, it seems as if someone has stripped a piece of the sky and thrown it into this river valley, forming this river.

There is a small town on the other side of the river.

The walls are not high, and the rooftops and pedestrians outside the city are overlooked, in the style of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Europe. It was dark and dark, revealing some kind of eerie silence.

After putting on his dry robe again, Xiao Xiao pondered for a moment, but did not immediately summon edamame.

He didn't have Zheng Qing's sense of urgency after entering this world.

On the contrary, as an individual, Xiao Xiao prefers to stay in this fantasy world for a while to enrich the content of his black notebook.

"To be on the safe side, I can't run around in the field alone. He stared at the town for a long time, muttering to himself, "...... When you come here, you must have a place to eat and sleep...... That's my job. ”

With this in mind, the young soothsayer put his hood on his head, held the black notebook in one hand and the quill in the other, and walked down the river.

Because not far downstream, there is a bridge that connects the two sides of the river.

It was a majestic stone bridge with sturdy piers and beautiful railings. The deck of the bridge is pale yellow with chisel marks of different shades, and the railings are carved with kittens of different shapes.

Xiao Xiao met a farmer at the bridge, who was also planning to enter the city, and he was driving a horse-drawn cart filled with stacks of tightly bound firewood, under which he could faintly smell the smell of bacon and soju.

This must be the most primitive method of smuggling, the young soothsayer thought to himself, and recorded these observations in his notebook.

Perhaps it was the clean robe, or the heavy black notebook and the quill in his arms, the farmer was very respectful to Xiao Xiao, and after drawing an old seal on his chest, he answered many of his questions.

For example, the river is called Skye - of course it could be Skye, and the farmer has a strong accent, which the young wizard is not sure about, and he prefers to call this river the 'River of the Sky' because of its appearance - the farmer does not know where the river originates, and the farmer does not know where the river will flow. He was just an ordinary farmer living near the river and the city.

Another example is the bridge over the river, which has a history of nearly 1,400 years, and it is said that when the bridge was built, the master craftsman in charge of the construction sealed the living people in the piers of the bridge as a sacrifice to the river in the sky.

The city on the other side of the river is called 'Usa' in official documents, but people living in the neighborhood and traveling merchants prefer to call it 'the City of Cats', because the city's parliament has passed a famous law forbidding anyone to kill cats.

As a result of this law, more and more cats live in the city, as far as the Enchanted Forest not far from Usa, and the Zugota Magius have repeatedly protested to the city council, claiming that the presence of these cats seriously affects the safety of the Zugo tribe.

After answering the question, the farmer drew another old mark on his chest, and then drove the carriage to the city gate.

Xiao Xiao stood at the head of the bridge for a while.

He needed to sort out the notes he had just heard.

Then, he drew a large circle with a red pen on the words 'kill the cat'.

The young soothsayer was suspicious that the legislators who enacted the law did not want to ban the killing of cats, but rather to ban the silly hat. That way those stupid rednecks won't go into the city and compete with their clever citymen for valuable jobs.

This suspicion was dispelled a lot when Zheng Qing crossed the bridge.

Because the stone guardrails on both sides of the stone bridge, the carved cats of all sizes are enough to show that cats do have an extraordinary status in this city.

"The captain and the squad leader should be dropped here. The young soothsayer put away his black notebook, shook his head, and muttered in a low voice.

Compared to him, the captain of the Sin Hunting Squad with a black cat tail or the squad leader with a pair of cat ears should have an easier time getting preferential treatment in the city.

With this fragmented thought, he crossed the stone bridge and approached the city of Usa.

The outskirts of the city are full of delightful elements, such as light green farmhouses, well-groomed gardens, walking hens, and cobblestone paths.

Walking on those paths is a pleasure to walk on both the soles of your feet and your mood.

Not to mention the 'hairy fruits' lying in front of the house, in the treetops and on the roadside, those cats of different sizes and colors purr comfortably in the sun, conveying a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

When the strange traveler approached, these bold cats would only raise their eyelids and snort weakly, signaling him to play Kai and not block them from basking in the sun. There is no sensitivity and suspicion of the timid cats in the outside world.

After entering the town, the number of cats became more numerous.

Pointy, ancient rooftops, gargoyles-covered eaves, hanging from skybridges above the laneways, manicured roadside trees, and countless chimneys and cobblestone alleys.

White cats, black cats, gray cats, flower cats, big cats, small kittens, spotted, tricolored, glass-eyed, heterochromic pupils, all kinds of cats are dizzying and dazzling.

"They would love this place. Once again, the young soothsayer said this to himself in his heart, which also gave birth to a strong desire in his heart to take Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu around the town.

"Edamame?"

"Edamame!"

"Edamame!!"

Xiao Xiao shouted for a while in a slightly less crowded alley, and the gray figure of the dog crawled out of the void, stuck out his tongue, looked at him with a smile and shouted: "Meow~!"

This meow attracted many watchful eyes from the shadows.

Many of Usa's cats looked curiously at the guy who looked very different from them, but spoke the same thing as them. No cat wondered if it was a cat, but no cat wanted to come forward and say hello to the new 'gray cat'.
