Tarrio the clockwork cat.
From the thick cat claws to the plump cat scalp, the total height is 165cm, which is taller than Melina.
The running posture is obviously Shiva-like running style.
But this is obviously not because she doesn't like long steps, but because clockwork cats are born with shorter legs. They run a bit like ducks, but through the frequency of fat shaking and center of gravity frequency, Cat Tarrio's running posture Like a train that has derailed violently, the bumps give people a sense of instability, but there is absolutely no doubt about its speed and violent frequency.
Melina looked curious.
Belen looked ugly:
"It does seem like this cat is going to be your rival, look at her claws."
Melina looked over and was surprised to find that the paws of the clockwork cat were actually covered with a thick layer of leather. They were boots that the clockwork cat could wear. The boots had imitation horseshoes that looked like cat paw prints. It could be said that they were completely The plagiarism has reached the essence. It can be said that it is a 100% prepared cat creature.
"The brute strength and endurance of clockwork cats cannot be underestimated. When they are only as high as your calves, they can already lift several times their own weight... Considering the weight of clockwork cats, this is very scary. .After overcoming their lazy habits, their ability to explode is definitely not inferior to that of professional athletes."
Melina laughed when she heard this:
"Victory over nature? It's unlikely. Even this cat Tarrio definitely didn't defeat nature. At most, she restrained her nature because of some desires. It definitely can't be called a victory."
She paused and thought of a brilliant idea:
"Wouldn't it be better if we just ask her directly?"
Melina walked briskly, her left foot and right foot stepped in line, and she walked toward the training ground with her back straight and a special, light and elegant posture. Beren was stunned and waved his hand: "Wait, isn't this bad?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, come on!"
When Melina walked in, Cat Tarrio just finished a set of back and forth runs, meowing and pouring alcohol into the abyss cat's mouth. The strong alcohol smell almost made people feel that the surrounding air would be ignited.
Clockwork Cat's portable drink is a high-concentration alcohol mixed with various medicinal powders.
A refinery to produce this portable drink is being built on Melina's land, and she finally reached a willingness to cooperate with Miss Melissa. With Belen and her jointly investing 35%, Melissa invested in building a winery on Melina's land to deal with the 'second phase interns' who everyone knew were bound to come.
After leaning closer, Melina marveled at the huge size of this clockwork cat. Even though it was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, from the appearance, it had an imposing figure of at least 1.8 meters! Is this the advantage of being wide and fat?
She greeted:
"Cat Tarrio! Hello, I didn't expect to see you training here. This is Professor Belen, now one of my, haha, partners."
She showed a reluctant expression.
The clockwork cat nodded knowingly. It was surprisingly easy for people to see the expression of this creature covered in furry cat hair.
Although there is no friendship, it seems that all the clockwork cats have a natural sense of familiarity with her, just like they do to the same kind. Cat Tarrio waves his cat paw:
"Training here can save a lot of time, Meow! Meow, your magic factor is spread throughout the Weeping Peninsula. Cats can use this magic factor environment to improve their skills, Meow!"
Training skills?
Clockwork cats can actually do this kind of thing... But yes, clockwork cats are a kind of cat group who like group activities very much. They often have the hobby of gathering together to study. To some extent, this kind of cat is afraid of loneliness?
Melina pointed in the direction of the Weeping Peninsula:
"Then you don't run on the island? Instead, you run on the road from Hamlet to Innsmouth."
"There's a monster in there, meow."
Cat Tarrio said frankly, "The environment here is good, there is a lot of traffic, and the number of monsters has been cultivated over and over again by the explorers and collectors who come and go. Meow, it is a safe runway."
Then she revealed a sinister cat face:
"The most important thing is, meow! Where is this road from the Weeping Peninsula to the outside world? This is clearly Miss Sonia's face! The best construction team, the best maintenance efforts, and strive to do their best every day They are all beautiful and very convenient to use. The basic structure and quality of this road are no less than those of most Ma Niang tracks, meow!”
These cats are incredibly perceptive at times.
This road is indeed a face-saving project.
The reason is simple. Melina still remembers that she was discussing the Weeping Peninsula with G at that time. First, she said, 'When I came here, I felt that this road did not look like a dilapidated old road that could appear in this area.' Then G said 'If I didn't make money, I would rather sell in the capital than come here (literally)'.
Then they found Sonia standing behind them with a gloomy face.
Melina was startled and stopped breathing for two or three minutes.
What's even more frightening is that Sonia suddenly showed a sunny smile. This bastard suddenly showed this smile, which is even more terrifying than Anthony Hopkins' performance in The Silence of the Lambs. She also said: "Everything will change, just like you, just like me."
The next day Sonia called a construction team to repair the road.
Now this is the result.
"It's really good. It feels like the roads from the royal capital to various rural areas are similar to here." Beren also praised.
"How was the training?" Melina asked.
Cat Tarrio has no sense of urgency for his competitors, which may make people believe it. However, Clockwork Cat does not regard the vigorous Banshee as a threat. The reason is that the Banshee runs very funny and cannot run as fast as the cats.
Clockwork Cat is very proud of this.
Cat Tarrio was also very proud and revealed directly:
"Winning the race is not a problem. Meow, the cat has discovered a way to use magic factors to slow down the durability of horseshoes."
"Is that so?" Melina and Belen exchanged glances.
Before the two of them could figure out what to say, the cat started meowing and meowing all the time. He didn't even have to ask, and he said it all triumphantly.
In the absence of an NDA, Clockwork Cat is truly a colander within a colander.
Melina was satisfied with the method of protecting the horseshoe, a move that continuously explodes magic factors through running posture. This move reduces the contact between the horseshoe and the ground, allowing each step to be longer, although it consumes a lot of magic. factor, but it can indeed increase the durability by nearly 5%.
During the pleasant conversation, Melina asked the core of the problem:
"Why are you participating in this race? As far as I know, the Clockwork Cat has no interest in running."
A serious and happy expression appeared on Cat Tarrio's face, and he answered seriously:
"To convey the gospel of the Lord of All Cats."
"Lord of Ten Thousand Cats..." Melina had never heard of this title, so she turned to Beren for help.
Professor Belen didn't want to fool people, so he didn't say "it's the god that cats worship". Instead, he seriously dug into the knowledge in his mind and said speculatively:
"This name has appeared before, but not in modern times, nor in the clockwork cat's nest, but in the very ancient times of Hotania, a sky-island country among the seven kingdoms, and is also considered to be the name of all celestial creatures. The origin of the Lord of Ten Thousand Cats. There was a belief and worship of the Lord of Ten Thousand Cats in Hotania, but the Lord of Ten Thousand Cats is not an exact god, but a symbol. It is said that the faith of the Lord of Ten Thousand Cats is divided into two parts..."
"Meow! As expected of a professor with a wealth of knowledge, he is so familiar with the beliefs of cats." Cat Tarrio patted his belly happily, "What Professor Belen said is generally correct. This belief did not originate from cats. , but originates from ancient times.”
She paused, and the cat scratched its whiskers:
"The Lord of Ten Thousand Cats is an advanced belief, symbolizing the beginning and the end, symbolizing order and chaos, and also symbolizing the unity of cats and the division of cats. Therefore, the faith of the Lord of Ten Thousand Cats is divided into two factions, and everything is numbered. The Three Goddess Sect and the Nine Goddess Sect of the Origin of All Things worship the Number of All Things and the Origin of All Things respectively.”
Cat Tarrio is a missionary cat who makes the Lord of Cats' beliefs very clear.
Melina’s brief summary is:
The Lord of Ten Thousand Cats believes that the foundation of the world is change, change produces power, change produces energy, change evolves all things, and only 'change' is the eternal theme of the world. It is precisely because of this that the most fickle cat (symbol) is used as the main body to form a belief that is not a creature such as a clockwork cat or a cat lamp, but is indeed a cat as the main body.
Everything is Number believes that everything in the world can be described by numbers, so changes in numbers represent changes in the world. That is to say, the so-called more proactive group that influences the world and changes the world.
The origin of all things believes that the changes of all things in the world are just drifting with the tide, and they need to find the truth of change from the changes in the world, so as to adapt to the world. They are a relatively passive school.
To use the matter of buying horse racing tickets as an example, cats originating from the All Things Sect will inquire about intelligence and inside information in an attempt to obtain a stable harvest. The Everything Is Numbers faction will think about doing it themselves, then buying the lottery tickets on themselves, and gaining profits through their own efforts.
Judging from this incident, we can clearly know the faction of Cat Tarrio. Yes, this cat believes in the Three Goddesses of All Things, so he went into battle personally.
This made Melina couldn't help but sigh. Is this the power of fanatics? Even cats are not exempt from vulgarity and are willing to work hard for their beliefs.
By the way, Melina is very interested in the teachings of this sect.
Because there is one of them:
"If you work hard, once is enough. Just work hard once to prove yourself. Don't work hard every time and get caught up in the cycle of 'proving yourself' and 'proving yourself sustainably'."
I have to say this is a wise saying!
But Beren pulled Melina away - joke! Mei Meow is already very meow-like. If he follows Tario the Cat, his faith may even become infinitely closer to that of a cat!
Another important point is that on the second day, Melina’s trial run of the 24-kilometer first points race at Storm Pass is about to begin. It's best if you can win the first place. If you can't win, you have to regroup. After all, you have to win the first place at least once three times before you can participate in the official points competition.
