After I died of old age, I was reincarnated into another world and became a cat

La Luna leaned on Hilde's shoulder and glanced at the people strolling on the street.

"Yes, except for the two hours before and after noon and the rest time at night, most of the time is quite busy, and it has been in the recent period."

"Really? Is there a festival?"

La Luna was a little surprised. Normally, although it would be a little lively here on weekdays, it would not be so crowded as this. After all, the city of Alris is still very large. If people just came out for normal shopping, it would not cause such a large-scale congestion.

The only thing that is certain is that there has been a period of activity recently that has caused people who originally stayed at home to go out.

However, La Luna was able to see things happening around the college and academic institutes, and even some major events in the city when she was handling documents on a daily basis. It shouldn't be possible for such a lively situation to exist that she didn't know about.

Unless it was a decision of your own that led to this lively scene and you knew it would have such an impact.

"Lady Laluna, you forgot that an exchange delegation has been visiting recently."

Hilde glanced sideways at LaLuna, who was lying on his shoulder.

"So…oh, I see."

La Luna nodded in sudden realization.

This has nothing to do with their own policies. It is probably because when the merchants in the city see these people from the New Northern Empire, they will definitely try their best to display their best products in order to seek cooperation. In this way, once they succeed, they will be able to open the commercial door to the New Empire. Wouldn't they make a lot of money then?

The citizens are usually quite bored at work, so it's nothing to go shopping occasionally after work. However, the vendors on weekdays are not very enthusiastic and just do some ordinary purchasing business, so the streets are actually quite boring, and people are not very enthusiastic about strolling on the streets. But now it is different. In order to attract the attention of these outsiders, the vendors can be said to have racked their brains to create momentum for themselves. In this way, the streets are obviously a lot more lively, and it can also attract a large number of local residents to come and watch.

After La Luna understood the reason, her vision quickly extended to ten or even a hundred years later.

"Maybe I'll have to talk to the city lord and His Majesty the Emperor about tariffs then."

La Luna shook her head, feeling that she was looking for trouble again. However, as the Prince of the North, she was also in charge of the Alris School of Magic. In theory, part of the collected taxes could go directly into her own pocket.

Although La Luna doesn't have much idea about money now, the school is short of money!

You can consider transferring part of the tax revenue directly to school construction, which will provide the school with additional income.

Chapter 169: Unjustified but Strong (rd update?)

After considering the issue of money, La Luna suddenly realized a very important question: Has the academy been spending money too lavishly recently?

Considering the impact and losses caused by the snowstorm on the academy, and the magic kindergarten that was recently established despite the impact and losses...

Just thinking about these things gave La Luna a huge headache, but there was no way the school could raise a large sum of money quickly in a short period of time.

There are quite a lot of ways for the school to make money. Some of the magic devices, magic products and related magic derivatives have a good market within the empire. So can I find a way to sell these things to the Dragon Empire in the north?

But does the Dragon Empire have any wealth now? It is said that their land lost its vitality after the death of the gods. Moreover, I have seen their land being directly destroyed by one of my experimental magics, and there was only gray powder underneath.

Regarding this, La Luna was a little worried about what they would do if they couldn't come up with the gold or silver coins to pay the money...

And if the other party's land can only be used for planting, then the price of gold and silver may soar in the future. After all, the two continents and two empires share the gold resources produced on the same continent...

Then the price of gold can at least double from the current level...

La Luna felt her scalp tingling just thinking about this kind of thing.

Fortunately, the Warcraft territory does not rely heavily on the human currency trading model but prefers barter. If you think about it this way, maybe the North can learn from this model to reduce the demand for precious metals...

On Hilde's shoulder, La Luna looked at the prosperous scene along the way and thought a lot about the future for a while.

It was not until they arrived at the municipal building that La Luna regained her composure.

"Excuse me…"

"Ah, it's Your Excellency. Your arrival makes the entire municipal building feel extremely honored. May I ask if you are here today to see the Lord Mayor?"

"Yes I have an appointment."

"Okay I'll take you there now, please."

At the entrance of the municipal building, a security guard who looked like a newcomer just opened his mouth to ask about La Luna's background, but an older person on the other side recognized La Luna at a glance.

Or rather, he recognized Hilde at first sight, and there was a golden cat on Hilde's shoulder.

This kind of strange combination could only be achieved by the arrival of the Prince of the North in person, so he immediately kicked away his new colleague who looked a bit stupid, and then personally welcomed the two big guys in.

After hearing the other party mention "Your Excellency the Prince", the man quickly realized that the combination he was facing was the most peculiar and also the most honorable one among the most powerful people he had identified in the training course some time ago.

In an instant, cold sweat soaked the shirt on the back of him. Fortunately, his words were appropriate and he did not offend anyone. Although his senior here seemed very smart and welcomed the other party in immediately, he really couldn't do this kind of thing himself, so it was safer to leave it to the experienced senior.

After LaLuna and Hilde were welcomed in, they were led by that man to the door of the city lord's office, and then he knocked on the door gently.

"Lord City Lord."

"Enter."

The city lord, who was sitting in his municipal office, didn't even raise his head, still looking down at some documents he had just brought up from downstairs. Then he heard the sound of a door being pushed open, but he still didn't look up. Instead, he continued to look through the documents in his hand and spoke with a slightly indifferent voice.

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't have anything to say, don't bother me."

Then a golden claw suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Seeing the little feet, the city lord's body trembled violently, then he raised his head and La Luna's cat face appeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty the Prince!"

"Well, didn't we agree to come here to talk about the academy some time ago?"

"Oh, that's true. I'm sorry, I've been very busy with work recently and I can't spare the time to visit you at the academy."

Listening to the apology from the city lord, La Luna's mouth twitched. She knew that the city lord had a good memory, unlike herself. Although she had a photographic memory, she was too lazy to remember many tedious matters and threw them all to Hilde.

But this city lord is a man with a good memory and is diligent. He can remember almost every little thing. As for the original agreement, La Luna saw in Hilde's little notebook that she had to go to the city lord.

And now the other party said that he didn't have time to come to the college to talk to me, which was obviously a secret attack on me for not keeping my promise and not coming on time.

So La Luna coughed awkwardly and shifted her eyes to the side while still talking.

"Well, I know you've been busy with work lately, and so have I. But even if I'm busy with other things, I can't delay this, so I came all the way to your place. I hope I didn't disturb your work."

Anyway, you are so shameless that you secretly poke me like this, so do you think I am thin-skinned?

La Luna shamelessly accepted the other party's words that were secretly mocking her. Anyway, no one else knew the specific details of the appointment. The city lord himself could remember it, and on her side, only Hilde had written down in the notebook that he would come.

At that time, Hilde will be asked to destroy the body and there will be no evidence. Then La Luna can directly conclude that it is the city lord who did not keep his promise and then she can magnanimously go to the city lord to discuss this matter.

Sure enough, after hearing what La Luna said, the city lord's face suddenly became embarrassed.

"Ahem... Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency! Let's continue discussing matters concerning the academy."

After the city lord understood La Luna's hidden meaning, he didn't dare to continue to dwell on this issue. Otherwise, he would be the one who would be embarrassed. There was no need to dwell on such a small matter!

After seeing that the city lord was no longer bothered by this matter, La Luna felt relieved and a little proud at the same time.

The cat stands up.jpg

After watching the two start discussing business, Hilde searched for tea sets in Chengdu's office for a long time but couldn't find any, so he could only pour two glasses of water and bring them to both parties. Then he stood aside blankly without saying anything, waiting for the two to finish their conversation and go to the next place...

Chapter 170: Burning the Cat's Butt (?)

Soon, La Luna finished talking with the city lord about some things about development. La Luna looked at the time and thought that not much time was wasted, so she said goodbye to the city lord and hurriedly went to another place under the leadership of Hilde.

The city lord looked at LaLuna and Hilde's hurriedly leaving backs and sighed helplessly.

Obviously, during the conversation just now, he could feel that La Luna had certain ideas about the changes in the city. However, after she finished talking to him about the topic left over from last time, she turned around and left without any reluctance. When he proposed the idea of ​​making an appointment for the next meeting, she directly asked him to find her in the academy.

I don't know if it was to avenge the mockery I had done to the other person before...

Thinking of this, the city lord sighed helplessly. What a vengeful cat.

After coming out from the city lord, La Luna stretched and watched the sun gradually become hotter, then urged Hilde to find a cooler place to squat for a while, and solve the problem of lunch at the same time.

Obviously it is not a good time to go back to the academy for lunch.

Under Hilde's guidance, La Luna walked around the city twice and stopped in front of a restaurant that looked pretty good. After entering and ordering two dishes at random, La Luna sat on a chair with her legs crossed, watching the crowd outside gradually shrinking.

"You said the sun is so terrible, won't the northern side be even worse?"

After hearing La Luna's question, Hilde tilted her head and looked out the window.

"I think they like basking in the sun."

Hilde pointed at the group of envoys who were wandering outside.

Oh, it should be said that they are people who come out to do market research.

La Luna looked in the direction Hilde pointed, and was speechless to find that these guys either had thick hair or scales on their bodies. The strong sunlight from the sky had no effect on them at all.

La Luna felt a little speechless. She knew that she had asked a very stupid question, so she simply retracted her gaze. However, in her peripheral vision, a petite figure suddenly seemed to meet her eyes unintentionally.

"Eh? Sister Cat!?"

La Luna's ears moved slightly as if she heard a familiar voice, so when she turned her gaze again, she found that Catalina was standing between a pair of people and greeting her.

"Katerina? What a coincidence."

There was a hint of surprise in La Luna's eyes and she greeted the other party. Then the other party left the team and ran towards the restaurant where La Luna was.

"Sister Cat, are you out shopping too?"

Hilde stood by and looked at the little girl who left without saying goodbye the day before yesterday. She took a step back when she saw La Luna being so affectionate.

"No, it would be nice if I had time to go shopping."

After hearing what Catalina said, La Luna collapsed listlessly. Ah, shopping, what a beautiful and leisurely idea.

Too bad it has nothing to do with me

When La Luna thought about her upcoming trip, she felt so tired that she wanted to vomit blood, and she even couldn't help but think about it.

Let's just end it quickly. I can't stand it anymore. I've never seen anyone so old who continues to work so hard. If I were on Earth, I would have retired more than a hundred years ago! Let these three years pass quickly! I'm going to the temple to retire!

"Is Sister Cat usually busy?"

"Of course I am busy. I am so busy that I can't even keep my feet on the ground."

LaLuna complained.

After hearing what La Luna said, Hilde beside him secretly complained in his heart, "You are always so careless..."

Normally when he goes out, he always lies on his shoulders, and when he gets to a place, he usually squats on a high table or stool. In total, except for stepping on the floor twice when getting dressed when going out, he will never stand on the ground in human form when he is outside throughout the day unless it is an important occasion.

If you can talk in the form of a cat, talk in the form of a cat...

If your precious feet get a little dirt on them with this way of working, it's my fault, Hilde.

Dalaihild was just thinking about it in his mind and naturally couldn't take it seriously.

After lunch was served, La Luna returned to her original form and started eating. However, since someone was eating for free this time, Hilde ordered an extra portion, which didn't matter. After La Luna finished eating, she took a short rest and played some games with Katerina in the restaurant.

Hilde stood aside and watched the sun gradually set, then reminded La Luna that it was time to set off.

It's not that Hilde is short-sighted and wants to destroy the seemingly harmonious picture in front of her, but if La Luna doesn't finish all the things today, there will be some things waiting for her to deal with tomorrow, and then things will pile up more and more day by day, and if this goes on, she will never be able to finish it, so Hilde has to stand up and play the role of a bad guy at this time to remind La Luna that it's time to leave.

La Luna naturally understood this, so she had no choice but to say goodbye to Katarina temporarily, then put on her little hood and lay on Hilde's shoulder and left.

Catalina stood at the door of the hotel, watched La Luna leave from afar, and waved her hand gently.

But after a while, the group of people who had surrounded Catalina gathered again.

"My dear sister, so is it that woman you like? Or is it that cat?"

Katerina glared at her stupid brother fiercely and stepped on his foot. He let out a loud roar of pain, and then everyone helped him and followed their furious leader to leave...

On the other side, after La Luna finished dealing with the matters with the city lord, she hurried back to the academy and started dealing with some matters in the academy.

"Mr. Dean!"

"Regarding the academy's magic teaching and some new plans I want to propose recently, call your dean over."

Seeing that it was already afternoon and there was another thing that needed to be dealt with, La Luna felt like there was a fire burning on her butt, so when she arrived at the magic academy, La Luna was too lazy to say anything to the students and directly asked the dean to come over to communicate with her.

The students also noticed the dean's urgency at the moment, so they hurriedly ran to call their dean over.

After the dean arrived, La Luna invited him into the office and closed the door. Hilde, who was standing next to Luna, didn't even make tea. She just waited for La Luna to quickly explain the things on this side before taking her to the next place...

Chapter 171 Proof

"Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate..."

"What's wrong with that? This is a fine tradition of our academy. I think some people are now praising the new magic too much and treating our academy's traditional things as garbage! What we really need to do is to take the essence and discard the dregs!"

In the office of the president of the Magic Court, La Luna stared at him and spoke word by word.
