Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

When the cat ninjas heard what Adela said, their expressions immediately relaxed a lot, and then they quickly gathered together to search their pockets and bags. In the end, they handed over a total of seventeen copper coins, two tubes of antidote and one tube of sobering agent.

Seeing how little there was, Adela couldn't help but shake her head. She sighed and said, "No way, you guys are really too poor, aren't you?"

The cat ninjas looked embarrassed, and the captain explained helplessly that they really didn't bring any money, and because they were on their way back, there were not many props left, and they couldn't give them all to Adela, otherwise if they encountered danger on the rest of the journey, their lives would be in danger.

Listening to these bitter words, Adela suddenly had the illusion that she was robbing the cat ninjas.

——(Forget it, forget it. Every penny counts. Let’s just leave it at that.)

Just when Adela was about to agree, the cat ninjas gathered together again, meowed and discussed for a while, and then reluctantly handed over a very beautiful and exquisite white ice crystal.

"We got this crystal this morning, meow. It's said that eating it can temporarily increase your strength. This is really all we can give you, meow."

Captain Cat Ninja stared at the crystal, and it was obvious that he was really reluctant to part with it.

Adela knew she couldn't force it anymore, so she decided to quit and reached this "deal" with the cat ninjas.

·

After killing the Giant Rock Snail with her own hands, Adela continued on her journey with the extra gains she had obtained from the cat ninjas, while the cat ninjas happily lit up the signal smoke, waiting for the transport troops to see them and come over to join them in the transportation.

Captain Cat Ninja was relieved that he could capture the giant iron snail so "smoothly" this time. He was actually very nervous during the entire negotiation process.

The Cat Ninja Captain was worried that the werewolf girl would see his true intentions, and secondly, he was worried that the werewolf girl herself would discover the special features of this giant rock snail.

This giant rock iron snail that the Cat Ninja Captain and his men wanted to get at all costs had another valuable value besides the extremely useful rock iron inside its shell. That was that the surface of its shell had traces of burns from blue flames, and it looked like it had been burned not long ago.

The Cat Ninja Captain felt lucky. He had just discovered the Causal Horned Viper burned by blue flames a few days ago, and now he had discovered the Giant Iron Snail that was also burned by blue flames. When he returned to report this matter related to the "ancient rumor" to the Cat Guard, it would undoubtedly be another great achievement!

——(Meow meow meow~ I have a good chance of getting promoted to Neko-nin Squadron Leader this time, meow~)

—(But nyan, in the end, it was all thanks to that 'traveling merchant' I saved this morning...)

——(If he hadn't given us that 『White Ice Crystal』, we might have failed in our negotiation with that werewolf girl, nya.)

——(Looking at that white hair, it's obvious that he's from the werewolf royal family. We can't afford to offend him, meow... If a fight really came to that, we wouldn't dare to fight, meow...)

The Cat Ninja Captain was muttering to himself. At this time, he didn't know how much shock his discovery would bring to the Cat Guard.

9.35 - Captain Krokosin's Obsession (Part )

━━━━━━━━━━

October 187, 8

〖5:03 pm〗

[Confession death countdown remaining: 28 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

After scorching the earth all day, the scorching sun finally sank slowly to the horizon surrounded by dusk mist.

The leader of the cat-man guard, Krokosin, who had white hair and a big white beard, was strolling around the guard camp.

Looking at these heroic young cats, Krocausin often recalls his own youth.

Back then, he was also a dashing and handsome cat-man who traveled far and wide with his dual-sword skills, leaving behind the nickname "Krokosin of Tornado's Two-Sword Style".

"Oh~ I'm so old~ Meow~"

After strolling for a while, Krocausin felt some pain in his lower back and began to complain and rub his waist involuntarily.

However, the real reason for his back pain was not the short walk, but the meeting with the "Ten Elders" last night. He sat for three hours and hurt his old waist.

Fortunately, Krokosin's hard work was not in vain. Under his strong advocacy, the ten elders agreed to the proposal of "Searching for the Messenger of the Underworld", allowing him to mobilize the cat ninjas to conduct wild exploration outside of daily rules.

Can the cat ninjas bring back more clues about the "Messenger of the Underworld"?

The white-haired Krocausin was really impatient.

·

"Captain, a team of cat ninjas has returned with the transport team. They are said to have made new discoveries."

Just when Krokosin was lost in his thoughts, the gray-haired deputy captain Kuhuisin brought him good news.

Upon hearing this, Krokosin immediately set out for the camp entrance to greet them, and what he saw was a giant rock iron snail with its shell covered in blue flame burns.

——(Goodness me, could this also be the work of the "Messenger of Hades"?)

Unable to conceal his inner excitement, Krocausin jumped directly onto the volute and examined it carefully. He found that although there were traces of blue flame burns this time, there was no sharp slash like last time.

Judging from the corpse of the Caustic Horned Adder we saw last time, if the Hades Messenger wants to cut open the shell of the Giant Iron Snail, he should be able to do it... ?

"Who discovered this giant iron snail? Report to me immediately. I have some questions."

Krokosin looked down at his subordinates, and then he realized that the one who escorted the transport team back was actually the cat-ninja captain who had come to report last time.

"Yes, we discovered it, Captain!"

The Cat Ninja Captain saluted Krokosin very nervously. Krokosin nodded and motioned him to follow him to the main tent for a good chat.

·

After some investigation, Krokosin learned what happened. He deduced that the giant iron snail must have escaped from the blue flame of the messenger of the underworld, so it was not chopped open and killed.

If we connect the location of the disaster horned viper with the location of the giant iron snail incident, and consider the time sequence of the events, it is not difficult to infer that if these two incidents were really the work of the Hades Messenger, then the Hades Messenger is now on his way from the border of the Farnese Empire to the Kingdom of West.

——(Meow~ meow~ meow~…I feel like I’m getting closer and closer to the truth, meow!)

At this age, Krocausin's heart was burning with passion. His intuition told him that perhaps he would really see the "ancient rumor" come true in his lifetime!

"Captain, your name is Litelsin, right?" asked the regiment commander Krokosin.

"Yes, yes, Captain!"

"Very good, Litelsin, you have done a good job both times. Go back and rest today. I will give you orders later."

"O-obey!"

·

After watching Captain Littlesin leave, Captain Krokosin could not hide his excitement and immediately asked Deputy Captain Kuhuaisin to call Captain Cat Ninja over.

The Cat Guard Corps consists of four battalions, namely the Cat Ninja Hidden Team, the Cat Warrior Guards, the Flying Cat Cavalry Team and the Phantom Cat Mage Team. Each battalion has three squadrons, and each squadron has five teams. Each level of the team is managed by a corresponding captain.

In order to ensure management order, the Cat Guard Corps is prohibited from issuing orders across levels. For example, if the Corps Leader Krokosin wants to give instructions to the team leader just now, he must find the captain of the Cat Ninja Hidden Team and let him communicate with the squadron to which the team leader belongs.

Deputy Captain Kuhuaisin went to call people very quickly, and Captain Krokosin's order was passed down layer by layer not long after. However, Captain Krokosin felt that this was not enough, so he ran to the current cat lord for a long talk at night.

Captain Krokosin has only one goal, which is to get the Cat Lord to agree to use the power of the "Cicada" to search for information about the messenger from the underworld.

The so-called "Cicada Holder" refers to a secret cat-ninja unit in the cat-people clan that is unknown to the general public. This unit has a small number of people, fixed at seven, and only the most outstanding cat-nins of all generations are eligible to join.

"The Cicada" is not under the management of the Cat Guard Corps, but is commanded solely by the Ten Elders of the Cat. It is said that in the past two years, it has received large orders from the mysterious organization "Snake Shadow Society" to provide mercenary services to the outside world, earning a lot of extra money for the Cat Clan.

Krokosin believed that if he could have the help of this army, he would be able to find the messenger of the underworld before other sub-human races.

·

In the mansion in the center of Kaicheng, the main city of the cat people, the cat lord Lordesin was having a long conversation with Krokosin, the leader of the cat guard, while making tea.

Tonight, the dim moonlight shone on Lord Lordesin's face, making his expression look a little uncertain.

"Captain Krokosin, I have to call you uncle, even for seniority's sake... You know the Cicada is the Tenth Elder's unit, so why are you nagging me?"

Lord Lordesin tapped the rim of his teacup with his slender fingers, seeming to have no desire to continue the conversation.

"Haha, Lord, of course I know that, meow. But you also know how miserly the Ten Elders are. How could they possibly agree to give up a big, ready-made contract and pursue something as illusive as a 'Messenger of the Underworld'?"

Captain Krocausin was all smiles, trying hard to show off his old face, hoping to impress the lord and have him speak on his behalf.

Lord Lordesin seized the most crucial point in Captain Krokosin's words and refuted him.

"Yes, Captain Krokosin, you said it yourself. The pursuit of the 'Messenger of Hades' is an illusory thing. Meow. We, the Cat People, must spend every bit of our resources wisely. What if this information about the Messenger of Hades is just a coincidence? Wouldn't we suffer a huge loss?"

Having said that, Lord Lordesin really didn't want to continue chatting with Krokosin. He felt that this topic tonight was destined to have no results.

However, the question that Captain Krokosin asked Lord Lordesin next made him change his negative thoughts.

"Lord Lordesin, I understand your concerns, meow. Let me ask you one last question. If you still haven't changed your mind, then I'll accept it, meow."

Captain Krokosin stood up. Under the flickering moonlight, the slightly hunched figure of the old man made Lord Lordsin feel a sharp aura for some reason, as if the two swords at his waist would be unsheathed at any time.

"Lord Lordsin, I, Krokosin of Tornado's Two-Sword Style, have a question for you, meow. If the cat-people continue to develop as they are now, do we have a chance to rise from the bottom of the sub-human races in the Farnas Empire? Lordsin, are you willing to be the lord of a bottom-ranked race for the rest of your life, meow?"

I am an old man with red hair, red face and red neck.

The words come from the heart and are very powerful.

The old man's passionate questions successfully shook Lord Lordesin's heart.

9.36 - Frontier Town (rd Update!)

Lord Lordesin's heart was indeed moved, but in the adult world, even if one's heart is moved, it does not mean that he will definitely take action, not to mention that he is a high-ranking cat-man lord.

Therefore, even though Lord Lordesin and Captain Krokosin were also a little angry, in the end, regarding the question of "whether to help and how to help", the two of them still discussed the conditions for a whole night, and then put an end to it with the "heroic bet" sworn by Captain Krokosin.

·

As far as the results of the negotiations are concerned, Lord Lordesin finally agreed to stand on the side of Captain Krokosin to put pressure on the "Ten Elders", and he will bet his right to vote in the next term to increase the possibility of success of the pressure.

In contrast, the time limit for requisitioning the "Cicada" troops is one month. After one month, no matter what the results are, Lord Lordesin cannot continue to extend the requisition time. In addition, if the investigation proves that the matter about the "Messenger of the Underworld" is false, Lord Lordesin will also need to compensate the ten elders for the income lost in this month - of course, this money will not be paid by Lord Lordesin, but by Captain Krokosin who is hiding behind the scenes.

In addition to bearing this part of the loss, Captain Krokosin also had to pay a large sum of money to Lord Lordesin to make up for the loss of his inability to be re-elected.

From this perspective, the biggest victim of this cooperation plan is undoubtedly Captain Krokosin. With his financial strength, if he really has to pay compensation, he will definitely lose everything.

However, Captain Krocausin didn't care. He had lived to such an age that it was impossible for him to take his fortune into the coffin. If he could use this fortune to have a crazy time before his death, it would be worth it.

And if the story about the "Messenger of the Underworld" is true, then he will become a great hero of the cat people at zero cost.

In a nutshell, if Captain Krokosin doesn't do what he wants again, he will have no chance.

"I'm truly impressed by you, Captain Krokosin. No wonder you've been able to sit firmly on the throne of the Guards for so many years."

Under the moonlight, Lord Lordesin raised his teacup to Captain Krocausin, using tea instead of wine to show his respect and to celebrate the consensus they had reached.

"Hehehe, when you reach my age, you will naturally understand."

Krokosin also raised his teacup and clinked it with Lord Lordesin. The cooperation between the two of them tonight would undoubtedly play a crucial role in the future development of the cat people.

·

·

The cat people have already begun to take action, but the instigator who caused them to take action had no idea that the blue flame he swung with the "Yanma Yingqi Sword" would cause such a huge response.

In the darkness of night, after another day of long journey, our classmate Jiang Ran finally arrived at his next destination, the town of Frontier on the border of the Kingdom of Wester.

(Stupid Loli: Oh my, this is so hard. Finally, we don’t have to sleep outdoors tonight!)

Just as the silly lolita lamented, Jiang Ran was also looking forward to having a good sleep tonight.

Unlike magic power which can be fully restored by sleeping, the recovery of vitality is quite slow. The wounds Jiang Ran suffered when he was cut by the skeleton monster in the "Tower" still hurt slightly when he moved, not to mention the new injuries he suffered in the final battle with Kenroshi Okami.

So if possible, Jiang Ran even wanted to find a church to experience the healing magic of the Prison Star World, and "by the way" steal the skills of the priests to see what the operating mechanism is.

·

However, Jiang Ran's idea cannot be realized for the time being, because in the Prison Star World, only main cities of the same level as Cuilin City, Baigu City, and Yanji City have formal churches and clergy.

(Let’s find a place to eat first!)

Jiang Ran walked into the streets of Frontier Town with great interest and found that the lights were still on even at night. It was worthy of being a border town specially for traveling reward hunters.

In order to make the most efficient use of time, Jiang Ran found a pub where he could have a meal, then sat down and enjoyed his dinner while listening to the guests' conversation.

During the previous period of sleeping in the open, Jiang Ran had always lived a life of eating whatever was available. It is no exaggeration to say that the earthy smell of the snail meat today is still lingering in his mouth.

Now that he had eaten well-cooked food after a long time, he was so moved that tears were about to flow - the joy of tasting food is indeed the most basic happiness of human beings.

·

As Jiang Ran ate, his ears gradually began to adapt to the noisy environment. He activated his skill to improve his computing power, thereby increasing the accuracy of his monitoring of various intelligence.

Not long after, a conversation about Podle Town reached Jiang Ran's ears. He heard someone saying that last night, a large number of terrifying salamander monsters attacked Podle Town, turning the entire town into a sea of ​​fire. Fortunately, a powerful magician appeared and used ice magic that covered the entire town to kill all the monsters and save the town.
