Like most people, Yaleriga's understanding of cat people originated from Sugar Land. Although now she can also see some free cat people in the market of Gate City who are willing to accept private employment. They are either exiles from the lion pride, or they have not yet joined the clan's cause because they are young. They will go looking for fun tasks on their own until they find that there is no more suitable destination in the world than Sugar Land.
She doesn't know exactly how many of them didn't end up back in Sugar Land. For the "Cat of the Lions", returning to a free and lively group life seems to be an irresistible instinctive temptation. Among all the individuals who have broken away from this traditional life, the most famous one is the once popular cat singer, Discapoka. However, Discapoka is not truly a pure "cat among lions". If the report that Yaleriga had read in the past was not too much fabricated, Diska Boca is a "tiger species": longer than ordinary cat people, with more gorgeous fur, and more flexibility.
It is said that in the cat people's former hometown, the lost Lepanting, cat people with this bloodline are widely respected loners, living by adventure and commission. They divide territories and fight independently, and male and female cats do not live together. If you see two tiger species walking together, one of them must be an underage child.
These tiger species travel between the land of fire and the poisonous swamps all year round, so insulated leather boots and gas hats have become their trademarks. They will also wrap a dragon and snake belt around their waists to hang weapons and luggage. The animal tooth nails decorated on the belt represent their achievements - only tiger species with more than five dragon and snake teeth or an elemental crystal are hung on them. Only in this way can they gain the respect of their peers. Cats who rashly dress up like this without tooth nails will be mercilessly ridiculed. Such cats will be called "vegetable cats" by their peers.
These old customs of Le Panting, whether true or false, no longer exist today. In the earth-shaking turmoil, the tiger species and the lion group left their homes together, and then lived in mixed blood. The numbers of the two sides were originally very different, but the lions were better at multiplying and cultivating, and many skills and knowledge that were only spread among tiger species were lost. However, the latter also made his own contribution, passing on the combat skills honed from the Tangtang Mountains and the top of Purgatory to his compatriots who were good at group actions. Every Catman knows how to use the eaves and windows of the Rock Candy Tower to travel to higher places, and the Durandian Black Cat Guards are the best at it.
The superstar among cat people claims to have part of the blood of the tiger species, so he yearns for freedom and wildness more than the lions. Yaleriga remained skeptical of this statement. She did not doubt the cat singer's bloodline, but understood that bloodline was often useless in most species. Those racial characteristics which have been strenuously proved to be the result of superiority will always be strange when they fall on the individual. Who would have thought that Povila would have a descendant like Villar? The Cat Superstar in shiny boots seemed to her no more nimble than its Sugar Land brethren.
But that doesn't mean it exaggerates everything. In the StarNet interview China accepted by Discapola, he talked about his famous song and its creative inspiration. That's the story passed down from generation to generation among all Cat People's species, its epic heroic ancestor, the legendary tiger species Prentice. The immortal cat of Lepanting has single-handedly defeated thousands of dragons and snakes, saved the princess of all lions, fought against greedy extraterrestrial predators, and has never been drunk in the mint-rich streams of the Tangtang Mountains.
Not everyone understands his great achievements, but cats all respect this legendary knight. Even the Cat of the Lions believes that Prenci is a real person in the history of Le Pentin, and insists that he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. There are also many legends about its descendants, ranging from one to hundreds. The number of its descendants is different in each version. Every cat with tiger blood claims to be a descendant of Prenci, and their claims are entirely possible. However, Yaleriga has never heard of Prenci possessing the power to cause humans to Even with Deathland's magic eye talent, he has never seen any cat that can drink ten glasses of mint drinks without getting drunk.
She read more than a dozen stories about Prenci. They are all spread from the mouths of cats, and it is inevitable that there are many versions, especially the details that are undoubtedly mixed with many personal elements: Prenci once defeated thousands of dragons and snakes in the poisonous swamp, and spent a lot of time from It ranges from half a day to two months; he once jumped out of the tree to save the princess of the lions from the hands of the Zombie King, the God of Eternal Fountain, or the bearded monster cat. It is generally believed that there are three, and there are also mature and solemn cat people who claim that they are three. Hundreds (there are indeed so many tribes in the lion group); the deeds of fighting against foreign enemies are the most colorful. If Yaleriga understands it well, at least in four versions of the story, Prenci threw branches at the landing spaceship, Sink them into the land of fire.
When she was reading these stories, Qiaoqiao Tianyi lay beside her legs and watched together. The latter were undoubtedly entertained by these absurd stories, and even temporarily forgot about their terrible situation. From time to time, she would bury her head under her wings and make out-of-character whirring sounds under the cover of feathers. But when she saw Prenci knocking down the landing spacecraft with branches, she knocked on the floor in dissatisfaction.
"Hey, this is not something you can just make up!" she accused. "The resource dealers in Tuo Peikan may be a group of greedy and shameless villains, but their level of building large spaceships is really nothing to say. They can build a large spaceship on a single ship." Ordinary spaceships are combined with four magic rudders, a many-to-one composite ship. So when they land in the wave, they can easily disperse... Up to now, they still have the patent for this technology in Kebe City. .”
"That doesn't sound like a good thing."
"I admit that their concealment and use of technology is shameful," Qiaoqiao Tianyi said. "Most of the time it has nothing to do with profits. They just seem to enjoy torturing people. However, if you think about it from the perspective of local taxation...I am not They can be forgiven, but I can't replace the people they actually preyed on. I'm surprised the cat people didn't seek revenge from them."
"I heard that Lepanting's past owners were elemental masters. They brought huge losses to Tuo Peikan."
"Yes, I know about this. Tuo Peikan is very good at spaceship technology, but their land base... I can only say that they have not encountered a real opponent for too long. No wonder the Supreme Council has never met a real opponent. They are not considered candidates for October."
"Have you ever heard what those elemental masters look like?"
"That's not accurate. It is said that they will randomly reincarnate into any kind of creature on Le Panting. They are called 'reincarnation species' by the local village - it is not necessarily that reliable. I heard Wenxi Katila say that most of them Reincarnation does not guarantee the integrity of the soul. You must have heard similar statements. There are very few exceptions, such as..."
"Original species." Yaleriga said, "Soulless beasts. Element controllers are not."
Qiaoqiao Tianyi looked around subconsciously. Yaleriga knew what she was thinking - people said that the original species could move in and out of all the waves of the world as easily as tunnels and twists. They will also listen for their own names through the waves and take revenge on anyone who insults them. However, in Yaleriga's view, this rumor is very unbelievable, because "Xun Canal" and the White Tower are still operating normally. She shoved the encyclopedia back under the rug.
"Do you think Pulency will be one of the element controllers?" she asked Qiaoqiao Tianyi.
"It can't be ruled out, but there are no legends that emphasize that it has elemental abilities, right? But if you put it that way, it may be quite similar to the water element in that it can't get drunk."
"They're drunk on mint."
"Oh, then, maybe it's the sugar element?"
Le Penting's definition of elements is unique. But that still doesn't explain the evil eye they encountered. Yaleriga suspected that she was looking in the wrong direction. Maybe Prenci's authenticity doesn't matter at all, they just happened to think of the most famous cat person in the hallucination created by a cat person killer.
