Chapter Seventy-One: The Cat's Orange!

In Gramm's diary, there is a repeated mention of the 'Cat Cave' heritage and power.

And the precept keeping ritual that reconciles the 'spirituality' as a 'cat hole' also reveals this kind of power everywhere-

【Cat Orange】The whole ceremony requires six naturally falling orange cat whiskers (adult tiger striped orange cat is the best), a slice of fresh catnip, a wood knotweed, 50 grams of salt, 100 grams of dried fish, and a golden acorn as the substrate for the ceremony, and then, choose the base material based on golden acorns on the day of the full moon.

Except for the golden acorn, the rest of the things are extremely easy to find.

And the golden acorn?

Although it is a secret material, and its own value is extremely high, it is nothing compared to the 'Moon Grass' required in the [Tower Oath].

You must know that a complete 'Moon Grass' can be exchanged for at least ten Golden Acorns.

And the side effects of [Cat Orange]?

It will only become a picky eater, gain weight, and be slightly drowsy.

In Arthur's opinion, these side effects are almost equal to none of the negative effects brought by [Tower Oath] and [Blood Rise].

'Convenient, applicability, make the cat hole strong?' ’

Sure enough, being strong makes sense! ’

Arthur could have imagined the heyday of the 'Cat Hole'.

Of course, [Cat Orange] also has drawbacks.

That's feeding!

In order to ensure that it is a true orange cat beard, it is necessary to raise an orange cat yourself.

And then?

It's a long wait for the cat's whiskers to fall off.

"Do you have a cat?"

Arthur rubbed his brows, thinking very seriously.

He had never kept small animals, which was quite a challenge for him, especially since he also needed to start with an adult cat in order to be more efficient.

As for the predecessor?

Raise spiders, centipedes, toads will.

Cat?

Like him, the breeding experience is 0.

'You have to consult with a professional, and even better if you have a professional pet agency. ’

Arthur thought as he began to change his clothes.

From the memories of his predecessor, Arthur found a similar pet agency.

It was a cat shop on Garden Street, which is said to be very old and popular with people – cats were loved and welcomed in South Los in this era.

But before that, cats were considered ominous.

In fact, during the Holy Empire, when the last pope declared that cats were evil, especially black cats, cats suffered an unprecedented disaster.

Many cats are born to be burned to death.

Women who keep cats are considered witches and burned to death.

The male who kept the cat was considered a male witch and was also burned to death.

Even some newborn babies whose eyes are as clear as those of a cat are considered ominous and will not escape being burned at the stake.

In those days, the burning at the stake was like a carnival at the behest of the Holy Empire.

The heads, limbs, and torsos of innocent women were lifted above their heads as if they were threaded, and they sang and danced around the burning houses.

They loudly announced that it was to expel demons.

But in fact?

They created demons.

The devil was also made.

Every moment of the day, the flames continued to burn, the scorching flames burned brighter and brighter, and everything seemed to be purified.

But the stumps in the ashes did not turn to ashes.

The black smoke above the brilliance is getting thicker and thicker.

Cleanse?

It's just wishful thinking.

In the thick black smoke, a plague called 'Black' appeared.

6 years!

The black plague ravaged the entire Holy Empire, plundering tens of millions of lives and smashing the seemingly impregnable Holy Empire to pieces.

The Pope is dead.

Twenty-two cardinal archbishops died.

The Inquisition was littered with corpses.

Their corpses were completely black, like stumps in the ashes.

But at that time, no one cared about them anymore.

The nobles everywhere have once again regained their glory.

They put on the armor of their ancestors, raised the pennant of their ancestors, chanted the name of their family, and opened a new era -

Silver Age!

And at the beginning of this era, when the Holy Empire was still struggling, all the nobles announced that the cat was innocent.

Cats are not only not calamities, but auspicious.

Because, cats can catch mice.

However, after the ignorant actions of the Holy Empire caused a large number of cats to die unnaturally, rats began to overflow, and eventually, the black plague was brought about.

And this became the last straw that crushed the Holy Empire.

Similarly, regardless of the size of the territory, every nobleman began to keep cats.

Originally, it was to catch rats and put an end to the plague.

But with the passage of time, after two hundred years of the Silver Age, cats have long since changed from mere mouse hunting to ornamentation.

Its value has also soared.

According to the memory of the predecessor, there was a cat in Neiwan that sold a 2W golden ticket at a sky-high price under the competition of nobles.

Of course, Arthur definitely doesn't need such a sky-high cat.

All he needed was a regular tiger-striped orange cat.

In the afternoon, it rained again in South Los.

Rainwater quickly collects on the road.

Arthur stepped out of the carriage, holding an umbrella in one hand, a psychic box in the other, and 'Anna' in his arms, and walked briskly towards his destination.

Heading north from Garden Street, into a paved block, Arthur found 17 North Garden Street.

He stood in front of the door, looking at the wooden sign that hung in the doorway.

Amanda's Cat Friends House (founded in 1552, 245 years ago)

The text on the front is written in the normal way, the date on the back is changed to a small flower, and at the end of the letter is a pink cat paw print.

Through the zigzag-shaped window, Arthur could see one cat after another playing in the semi-enclosed room.

There is a sense of carefreeness.

Arthur, infected by this feeling, unconsciously turned up the corners of his mouth.

And while Arthur was still standing in front of the door to take a closer look at the cat, an elderly lady had already opened the door from the inside.

"Need shelter from the rain?"

The other party was wearing a long black dress, no more decorations, his hair was already gray, and he looked very approachable with a warm smile on his face.

Arthur looked at each other in surprise.

You know, since he carried 'Anna' in his arms, not to mention the people who took the initiative to greet him, there were no people who even took the initiative to approach.

"A person who can stop and smile at a cat will not be a bad person, no matter how vicious he looks."

The elderly lady said as she leaned over to invite Arthur.

Arthur, who came for the cat, naturally would not refuse.

He nodded kindly, and after saying hello, he went straight to the 'Amanda Cat's Best Friend House'.

As soon as he entered the room, Arthur felt warm.

"Cats don't like to be cold."

"They love the sun and they love small dried fish."

"Need a drink?"

The old woman smiled and explained to Arthur, and then, at once, added, "If you want a normal drink, I'll have it free here." ”

The old woman gestured to the wall.

There is a menu hanging on it.

Coffee (free refills): 1 so

Coffee with milk: 1.2 cords

Hot cocoa (water/milk): 8 ssowe/1 sood

Fruit juice (existing apple, orange juice, pineapple): 5 zero so

……

It's not cheap, it's orange juice, and the mobile food stall in Eivor costs only 1 mino, here it's 5 mino.

5 times the difference!

Arthur was secretly surprised, but when he saw the cat isolated by a wooden fence, he had some understanding.

There are special 'waiters' here, which are a little more expensive, which is understandable.

"Plain water, thank you."

"Okay, guest, wait a minute."

As she spoke, the old woman walked to the side of the drink area, while Arthur looked at the cat behind the wooden fence, and he wanted to find a cat that met the [Cat Orange] ceremony.

However, there is no inside.

Immediately, Arthur was ready to question the old woman.

At this moment, the doorbell rang, and another guest came to the 'Amanda Cat's Best Friend House'.

Three well-dressed young ladies walked in with their cats in their arms, and the servant's umbrella came in, and one of the ladies saw Arthur's eyes lit up.
