Chapter 223: Outside the City of Usa
The edge of the oak grove resounded with the sound of the Zugoths beating their chests.
Several of the elders of the ancestors stood up, scrambling to describe to the banshee everything that the little ancestors had observed, from the fact that they found the strange wizard appearing, to the two strange wizards building a magic circle, to the white mist surging in the circle and the arrival of the shatak birds, the sound of slapping seemed fragmented and rhythmic.
Of course, in the process of description, these timid but malicious creatures are very fond of blaming others for it.
For example, the Shataq birds are unruly, especially the leader of Shatack, who has been torn apart by the three black dragons, and he has no rats in his eyes, completely ignoring the persuasion of the elders of the ancestors, and insists on using his black claws to catch the wizard's magic array.
For example, the two strange wizards were very dangerous—even a dusty pet they had bred to death the most cautious and brave of the Ancestors. At that time, the warrior had already sneaked up to less than a hundred meters away from the circle, but in the end he could not escape Uzah's poisonous hands.
Nikita listened patiently to the sound of several ancestors beating their chests, capturing useful information in their inverted descriptions.
It wasn't until she heard the word 'Usa' that she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Usa?"
The banshee interrupted a Zuge who was patting his chest in a fancy way, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes: "You mean, those two wizards are from Usa City? How do you know? If I'm not mistaken, those two wizards haven't communicated directly with you from beginning to end." ”
She was answered by more dense and urgent chest-beating voices—not only the Zugo who was asked by the banshee, but also the other Zugos who were listening.
Each ancestor wants to be more valuable in front of his new master.
The banshees listened for a while before they understood what they meant.
To the ancestors of the Enchanted Forest, the city of Uzza is one of the most evil places in the world, and there is no one. Because there are cats in the city of Usa, there are many, many, of all kinds and sizes, and they rely on the humans of Usa City as allies, and they wantonly oppress the Zu tribes in the Enchanted Forest, and every year the Zu tribes need to pay countless tributes of quail, fat chickens, and tree sap to the cats of Usa City.
If the harvest in the forest was bad one year, the ancestors would wash themselves and put them on a red wooden tray to offer to the hairy evil creatures of Usa.
In order to survive, every Zuge of the Zuge tribe can smell the breath of those evil creatures dozens of miles away, so as to escape from their clutches in time.
The reason why the two strange wizards were judged to be from the city of Usa was because both of them had a very strong cat smell, and one of them had a cat tail and the other had cat ears.
Although the vision was a little blurry through the barrier of the magic array, and the ancestors had different descriptions of the faces of the two wizards, without exception, they could clearly and accurately depict the cat's tail and the pair of cat ears.
Hearing this, Nikita's frowning eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She raised her arm.
The three black dragons who were coiling around the edge of the pit and smacking the taste of the flesh and blood of the Shattuck leader saw the gesture of the banshee, and their bodies slid away, and they immediately left the pit, turned into a small snake the thickness of chopsticks, and returned to the banshee's wrist.
"Lead the way. ”
Nikita gave a command to the elders of the Zugo: "Go to the city of Usa." ”
......
......
When the ancestors set out from the Enchanted Forest with a large number of tributes at the signal of the banshee and marched towards the city of Usa, outside the city of Usa, Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu had just crossed the huge stone bridge that crossed the Skye River.
Before boarding the stone bridge, Jiang Yu had already put away the cloak of invisibility, and Zheng Qing had put away the vines bound to the neck of the edamame, allowing them to return to the void.
The effect of the Cloud Climbing Charm had faded, and the two young wizards walked on the huge stone bridge, looking at the various cat-like stone carvings on the railings on both sides of the stone bridge, and they were amazed.
But what was even more surprising was that the passers-by he met along the way—including a farmer, a fisherman, a footman, an official, and even two soldiers guarding the bridge—all showed unexpected kindness and kindness to the two strange wizards.
Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu met Xiao Xiao in an open-air tea shed not far from Wusa City.
At that time, the soothsayer of the Sin Hunting Team was sitting cross-legged on a chair, holding a crystal ball in his hand, carefully distinguishing the color of each ray of light that was folded back on the surface.
As long as the pedestrians passing by that road will involuntarily attract their eyes to the crystal ball.
Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu are naturally no exception.
When their eyes fell on the crystal ball, it was easy to notice the short wizard holding the crystal ball, so they saw Xiao Xiao.
The owner of the tea shed served the two travelers a clear brown liquid, and also gave a small plate of dried fish as a snack, and before stepping back, he respectfully drew an old mark on his chest - this attitude made Zheng Qing quite uneasy.
"Is it because of the robes we are wearing?" Zheng Qing was very self-aware, knowing that he was not a nobleman in the dream realm, and the only thing that the owner of the tea shed could notice was the dark red mage robe on his body: "...... Do wizards have a high status in the city? I've noticed this before. ”
As he spoke, he described to the doctor what he had seen and heard along the way, especially emphasizing the courtesy that many passers-by had shown to him and Jiang Yu.
"The status of a shaman in the city was on par with that of a scholar or a great merchant, not as high as a nobleman, much less as a priest. ”
Xiao Xiao, who had been stranded in Wusa City for a while, had already figured out a lot of local news, he held the crystal ball, looked at the plate of dried fish in front of Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu enviously, and explained a little sourly:
"If you're not mistaken, the reason why you're being looked at differently is because of your cat's tail and cat ears. ”
"In the city of Usa, cats are sacred creatures, and one of the most famous and strict laws in the city is that it is not allowed to kill cats...... So I suspect that you two were taken by those people as messengers in the temple of Usa. ”
Under Zheng Qing's robe, the black cat's tail shook uneasily.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Yu, and the cat ears between the witch's hair were also carefully folded, as if they wanted to burrow back into the hair.
A big cat raised by the owner of the tea shed jumped on the tea table lightly and squatted in front of the two young wizards, its amber eyes full of curiosity, looking at Zheng Qing's tail and Jiang Yu's ears.
Then it meows, buries its head in the saucer, and bites a small dried fish.
Out of the corner of his eye, Zheng Qing caught a glimpse of many guests in the tea shed who were cautiously watching the table.
He hesitated for a second.
Stretched out his hand and rua the head of the big flower cat, and then went down its neck and spine all the way, and the flower cat immediately snored comfortably.
In the tea shed, many guests immediately showed a look of truth.
