"It seems a little more deserted."
Lanya squatted down holding a small handful of cat food, and suddenly several more cats emerged from the cracks in the wall and gathered around her hand.
She laughed when the kittens accidentally licked her hand.
"Look how happy they are eating."
Ringer threw the cat food on the ground, stood up, and looked around.
He was observing and feeling along the way, and the city was indeed a little different from before.
In the recent undead siege incident, although the city was not broken, panic spread to the city. Many people fled Castalon with their families, and the streets seemed a little deserted.
In addition, he had an inexplicable premonition that something terrible was spreading in the shadows of the city. Although he hasn't found proof yet, that's what he feels.
"ah--"
While he was listening, feeling and thinking, Lanya exclaimed.
When he came back to his senses, he saw Lanya retracting her hand from feeding the cat, and the cat food in her hand was scattered all over the floor. The kittens ran away in fear.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"A kitten suddenly bit me." Lanya said covering her hands.
"let me see."
Lanya stretched out her hand and was bitten on the lower edge of her palm, the most tender, juicy and meaty part. Two small drops of bright red blood were seeping out from the edge of the white and tender palm.
"Then the kitten may want to eat meat. Look at the palm of your hand, it's tender and soft. It must think this is much more delicious than cat food." Ringer said half-jokingly, gently wiping away the blood drops with his thumb. And used healing magic to repair the wound.
Such a minor wound caused by a kitten bite can be easily repaired by even entry-level healing magic.
"Really, really?" Lanya blushed and whispered: "You can hold it if you like..."
"What?"
"I mean my hand, it's not that I want you to hold it, it's it! It's my hand!" Lanya was so nervous that she was incoherent, pointing with her left hand to her right hand held by Ringer.
"Oh? Your hands actually have independent thoughts?" Ringer continued to tease her.
"Of course, you, you, you, haven't you heard of the legend of the Undead Master Zodi? That guy divided his body into five parts, each part has an independent thought." Lanya blushed, She said in a panic, letting Ringer hold her hand.
Ringer smiled and said, "Do you know how to do that kind of magic?"
"Of course," Lanya mustered up the courage to look at Linger, "my master taught me this too."
She threw the pot to the master again. Only at this time would she think of her.
"It seems that your master is very powerful, and he knows this legendary magic."
"Although the old woman is fierce, she is really powerful." Lanya had to admit this.
"Okay." Lin Ge grabbed Lanya's right hand and put it in front of his eyes, saying as if talking to another person: "Hi, how are you?"
"Why no response?"
"Well, you have to call her by her name." Lanya said.
"It also has a name." Ringer said happily.
"Yes," Lanya said seriously, "I call her Miss Zuo."
"Miss Zuo?" Lin Ge squeezed the small hand in the palm of his hand and was very surprised, "Isn't this your right hand?"
"Really?" Lanya showed a confused expression and looked at her left... right hand?
"Anyway, her name is Miss Zuo!"
Lin Ge held back his smile and said to Lanya's right hand again: "Hello, Miss Zuo."
The index and middle fingers of the little hand he held moved slightly.
"Why doesn't she speak?"
"The hand doesn't have a mouth, so how can it speak? Just now it was saying hello to you, and she said hello to you."
Lin Ge nodded, and then said to the little hand he held: "Nice to meet you, Miss Zuo, you are so slender and beautiful."
This time Miss Zuo's little finger moved.
Lanya felt her face burning even more, and she translated in a low voice: "She said thank you for the compliment."
Lin Ge raised his head and saw Lanya's face turned to one side, her ears turned red.
His heart moved, and he was about to say something——
"Hey, what are you doing here?" A rough voice from behind interrupted him.
He turned around and saw several patrolling soldiers.
The armor on their chests has the mark of the Holy Light Religion, which means that they are not only soldiers, but also loyal believers of the Holy Light Religion. Moreover, the identity of believers is higher than that of soldiers, and they will respond to the calls of the bishops at any time.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. He glanced at the body parts of the two people that were still connected, his eyes filled with contempt, hatred and pity.
"Nothing, just hanging out with friends." Ringer said calmly.
"Just taking a stroll?" The middle-aged guard glanced at the cat food scattered on the ground, and finally locked on the cat food bag at Lanya's feet. "what is that?"
"Food for cats."
The guard's expression changed, as if he remembered something.
"Please come with us." Without waiting for Lin Ge to ask or defend, he immediately ordered: "Take him away."
The two religious soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward, took out the magic-suppressing collar, handed it to Linge and Lanya, and said coldly: "It's best to wear it yourself."
Lin Ge glanced at the silver necklace, frowned, and his eyes gradually became dark.
Eye of Chaos, from "One Hundred Essential Skills for Qualified Demons".
This was the second time he had used it, and the effect was immediate. His eyes swept across the three soldiers. The three scratched their heads, looked at each other, and then looked at Ringer in surprise.
"Father Prachi, why are you here? Ah, and Miss Sister."
Ringer asked: "What happened in the city recently?"
"The ominousness is spreading in the darkness, and the breath of death hangs over Castalon. That's what the bishop said, so he ordered us to patrol strictly and not let go of any suspicious characters. Strange, doesn't Mr. Father know..." The one who spoke The soldier seemed confused but gave up thinking further.
"Feeding cats is also suspicious behavior?" Ringer asked again.
"Well, because a cursed undead cat appeared in the city. It was obviously dead and its body was rotten, but it could still continue to move and even bite people. We suspected that someone was poisoning the cat secretly, and thought that This is some kind of omen, some kind of... ominous omen." The soldier said in a daze, as if mumbling.
Linger held Lanya's hand and walked past the three of them.
After the two of them were far away, the three soldiers came back to their senses.
"Huh? Did we meet Father Prachi just now?"
"There seems to be a nun, Miss Ness, and they are holding hands!"
"How come the priest and the nun are here, holding hands on the street? This is too bold!"
"Speaking of which, that night, I seemed to hear a strange sound in the confessional..."
"Shut up!" the middle-aged soldier shouted to stop the two young men's discussion.
He was in a bad mood. He always felt that something was wrong just now. They seemed to have made a mistake and forgotten something.
"Huh? What is this?"
He lowered his head and frowned when he saw the small fish-shaped crackers scattered on the ground.
"Pick these up and take them back to the pharmacist to test the ingredients."
Some people died, but not completely...
