The prisoner and the sea

Chapter 200 Is the Witch Really Powerful?

Gwen used to swim in the shadows with Cat Lanterns at night, in the endless dark ocean, there was no starlight, only a few meteors passing by like hallucinations, dragging their bright tails for a while, and Cat Lantern said " That's the passing witch", the sin and punishment, curse and blessing of Utopia, if allowed, he wants to jump up and ask the people of Utopia "what did they do? Why did you leave here".

"Meow!"

After hearing this, Cat Varo patted his furry belly, with a benevolent expression like a priest, and replied:
"They will dismiss it and tell you, don't interfere with their work, meow ha ha ha!"

The sparks in the shadow coating, like a mermaid, flicked without gravity.

Carrying the coating is a small boat made by the cat Valo.

With the rain, even the small wooden bridges in the shadows sank, unable to float up.

Gwen almost fell into the shadows at first when she came in.

He felt like he was melting, like... like some great warmth was covering him, and a motherly voice whispered "Go to sleep, Gwenduvalevna, go to sleep," and He was also drowsy and about to fall asleep, and he couldn't even hear the anxious cry of the sparks in the sinking coating.

…Gwen tapped her thigh lightly with her fingers, feeling the shaking of the hull.

He said to the chubby cat Varo holding an umbrella (God knows where the cat got such a big umbrella!), "Anyway... thank you this time... I can't imagine without you..."

"Meow ha ha ha! At most, I will faint for a few hours, and feel like I have eaten fifteen boxes of canned food!"

Fat Mao Deng didn't look like he just rescued the two with his two paws.Just now, she held the shadow coating ball in one hand and Gwen in the other, and using her tail as a propeller, she snatched the two daredevils who dared to enter the shadow world on a rainy day from the sea of ​​shadows, and placed them in the on this boat.

Speaking of this boat...

Gwen touched the side of the boat curiously. It was a wooden boat, a black wooden boat, and it was quite comfortable to put her hands on it.In this small boat, it's like sitting in a blanket next to the heater, even the rain can't stop the raging warmth.

"Cat Valo, how do you know what happened to us?"

Huo Hua couldn't speak, and curiously climbed over the edge of the coating to look over, and the delicate skin was more delicate under the touch of the shadow.

"If a cat is watching, tap the water with your tail to notify the cat!"

Cat lights are downright handy creatures.

"Speaking of which, you are in the Shadow Realm..."

"Meow! Cats, the cats are just bringing in some things, wine, food, it's okay, meow..."

As soon as I heard it, I knew that these cats had participated in smuggling.

And it's best not to let the witch discover the kind of smuggling.

Gwen felt that it was better not to mention such a little secret, so she changed the topic, "Then what is this boat?"

"I bought it from a witch, meow, a witch named Charon. There are very few witches who have an official pass to come here. The cat will introduce it to you."

Huo Hua's expression was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that he would have such a chance to meet the witch so soon.

Gwen shook her head at him, "From a witch's point of view, it's probably... hard to remember to come here again in ten years, right?"

"Meow, this is true, but the cats should remember to visit them. They are the most meanest race, meow!"

If even the cat lamp said that the other party was stingy, then of course he was really stingy.

Gwen began to worry a little about whether she had messed with Da Vinci.

Travel across the sea of ​​shadows to the brightly lit cat-lamp colony.

When Gwen and Spark came out of the shadows, they found themselves in a very short room, only about [-] meters.Mao Hualuo activated the liquefied ability of Fat Cat Lamp, and felt pressed to a horizontal position.Both Gwen and Spark had to squat halfway to move. This room was like an abandoned storage room, which was used by the cat lamps.

The cat lanterns with gas masks on their heads, which already had a utopian feel, were not afraid to see them, and asked meowing if there was anything they wanted to buy.

"The cats accept mineral currency, meow, ouch, if there is something you want here, let the fat cat next to you contact the cats!"

At first I felt nothing.

But when I saw the products these cats brought out, even the sparks couldn't move my eyes.

Artisan Instruments - Extremely high-quality artisan instruments, the kind that have a price but are out of stock.

The complex distillation device composed of exquisite purification brass tubes, the noble filter pipes made of gemstone grinding powder mixed with keel, and the processing structure head made of haze layer rock whose weight is calculated in grams can not be found in the entire Fellowship. .

Seeing this batch of things, Huo Hua was surprised and said: "These things... feel a bit like the accident that the scientific research car was overturned last year..."

"Meow! The cats didn't steal it. They put it on the ground and no one wanted it, so the cats took it back! Meow!"

It was indeed the cat lamp that stole it.

But these treasures are really good, and it feels like at least they are tools that only Longbao Academy can have, otherwise Spark would not be surprised.

Sparks tugged at his sleeve.

He whispered: "Can the cat Valo tell them not to sell these things first? We may be useful, whether it is me, Mihaila, or Tomia..."

There are no rabbits, cats and cats in the words.

Sure enough, from an academic point of view, these people are relatively close to each other, and their level is similar.Although Tomia must be in this small group as the answerer, at least people recognize their abilities... Well, hee hee, let's talk about her thesis after being approved by Tomia's friends.

After Gwen said this to the cat Varro.

The cat Valo directly kidnapped the cat lamp who was the seller, "Meow, ow, from today onwards, the kitten will follow the fat cat! Meow, ow, until, until the cats have a chat!"

this habit...

Huo Hua stared at him with wide eyes, "Is this really okay?" He danced and danced, "This is, this is..." It took him several seconds to say, "Is this considered kidnapping?"

Gwen thought so too.

However, the kidnapped Mao Deng patted his stomach, lay down on the cat Varo's head, and pouted the cat's nose with his tail, "Fat cat, you can only give it a week at most, otherwise the cat will have to wait." Angry, meow!"

This may be a special connection in cat lights.

Gwen shook her head.

"Mao Lantern, where is our location?"

"Train emergency and spare luggage storage area, meow, probably in the middle of the train, above is the office area of ​​those stupid utopian civil servants."

"It's said in the intelligence that the target is above, in the personal office in the middle section." Huo Hua talked about the location.

The two found the exit under the guidance of the cat light.

Varo the cat returned to the shadows, but threw the cat Kaka to Gwen again.

"Meow! If you want to use the shadow, go back and let her come, meow!"

Such a reliable fat cat lamp, even ordinary cat lamps will be shocked.

Through a narrow pipe that only cat lights can pass through (cat lights don’t like narrow passages, so generally speaking, the passage should be able to accommodate at least three cat lights side by side). Fortunately, the two are not big, so be careful climbing It is also possible to pass through this old, but temporarily reinforced, and the damaged parts are covered with blankets.

Gwen didn't even have to worry about getting her clothes scratched.

After going out smoothly.

After seeing the situation outside clearly, Gwen felt a moment of cardiopulmonary arrest.

Three Verge guards are facing them!

Gwen's monocular ignites.

In the next second, he showed a puzzled expression, and then a helpless and sighing expression.

These three Verges who don't have many living characteristics are because... they drank a special kind of wine made by Verge called Stone Cat Wine.If you fall asleep after drinking, you will enter the 'injury repair state', which can heal the wound.

Although from the impression that the people of Shard have a good time without drinking, it is Verge who really consumes the most spirits.

Drunk cats, silly bears, stupid dogs, cheap birds, this is a 'stereotype' recognized by all utopians.

Let go of the gossip.

The three Verge guards were fast asleep.

"This, is this really a guard?"

"Meow, you are more conscientious than cats!" Cat Kaka patted her belly.

Gwen and Sparks couldn't help but glance at her.

He tilted his head.

The two of them twitched their hands and walked past these Welkies.

When passing by, Spark wiped his nose, flicked his tail restlessly, and the cat's ears twitched several times.

finally--

"Woo meow." He quickly and secretly picked up two bottles of unopened stone cat wine.

going on.

But I saw that the cat Kaka had stuffed five bottles into the fluffy hair, and I don't know which plane it was stored in...

See him in a daze.

Cat Kaka flicked its tail: "Meow, you, you took it first, cats don't steal things, meow! But..."

She shook the cat's whiskers: "... cats can still take wealth from no one. If meow, if someone else starts to grab it, cats can."

After she finished speaking, it seemed that she had overcome the good cat consciousness in her heart.

But Gwen next to him could see it clearly. Mao Kaka had already seen that Huo Huo was going to get the wine, and had already landed on the wine table early, waiting for the other party to move first.

Cat lanterns are like those creatures who strictly abide by the principle of "never be the first to shoot", but they will be prepared to show their greedy nature as long as there is a leader.

"Sounds like sophistry," Gwen said.

"That's not true!" Mao Deng yelled loudly, "Cats don't quibble, facts speak louder than words, cats have never taken the initiative to do such a bad thing, meow!"

"Hmm..." Huo Hua stared at Mao Deng's fur, as if wondering where Mao Deng hid the wine.

The two of them and the cat cleaned up the table again, covered the three sleeping Wilges with blankets, and at the same time confiscated the dangerous explosives of these drunk cats - they didn't take away the military use, they just got some extra Materials are not robbers, at least not complete robbers and bad species.

Go out along the gate, it seems that because of the rain, it is quite warm here...

"The bureaucrats on these trains turn up the heating to the maximum whenever they have an excuse!" Sparks complained in a low voice.

But Gwen remembered that in the residential towers above the Sniper Cat, each tower was fully heated every day, because the Sniper Cat was a "cold car", and it would be very cool when it ran, if it weren't for the lack of compartments A lot, and it even snows when I run... It is said that it was a gift from an excellent witch to her boss, but later she was pointed out by her colleagues, saying that the other party "although she is a siren witch, but she doesn't like winter", so she wiped her sweat Hastily abandoned.

Of course, this story came from da Vinci's gossip, so I don't know how credible it is.

Witches are also called human-shaped cat lamps, and cat lamps are also called cat-shaped witches. The bullshit and gossip of these two races are not very credible.

However, this kind of workplace story seems to have some credibility.

"Is the workplace of a witch complicated?"

On the way, Gwen asked Kaka the cat by the way.

This cat lamp is a special cat lamp, and dared to point fingers at the witch. When Gwen asked, she flicked her tail and replied: "It's very complicated. Each job of the witch will only last two to three weeks. I shouldn't have told you guys, meow... But considering what's going on in the future, I'd better tell you the truth in advance."

The origin of Mao Kaka is hard to tell. According to Mao Valo, Mao Kaka is a close cat next to a high-level giant cat. He knows many secrets and has some permissions that even witches don’t have—the witches in Utopia have signed contracts. , and the cat lamp does not need to sign, so it has the ability to leak secrets.

But now it seems.

The leaking ability of the cat lamp is the main goal that the witch wants to achieve.

……

Can hear the secret, even the sparks cheer up, looking like a search for the secret.

He is still a scholar after all, very interested in the witch's secret.

They had talked and discussed similar topics on countless nights.For a powerful source of power, the witch's message is not so critical. "The witch exists" is recognized even by the faction that the "witch does not exist". The main difference between the faction that does not exist and the faction that exists is that What is a witch? ', because the most primitive image of a witch in the population of Utopia is: [female appearance, possesses more than a hundred kinds of source power, possesses more than a thousand kinds of spells, is all-rounder in human beings' existing disciplines, and knows everything]

These conditions are too harsh.

So much so that Utopians believe that those "eternal beings" who are so powerful that one person can destroy cities with millions of people cannot reach them.

On weekdays, the witches that some Utopian powerhouses can see are all "do not fight with others" and "are only responsible for one or two people when they appear and disappear", quite like an upgraded version of a humanoid cat lamp (meow! So That's right!)
Although it is the same as a cat lamp, it cannot be grasped by force.

But some people may think: "Is the witch really powerful? Why don't she do it when she is provoked, and at worst she invites wild animals or demons to harass her."

"Every witch who comes to Utopia, except for the administrators, meow, basically has the power to destroy Utopia."

Mao Kaka said this ruthless answer.
