————I really can’t hold it anymore today, I’ll finish it all tomorrow and the day after tomorrow~

The next moment, the kitten flew backwards from a distance to Xia Duo. Even though its whole body was suspended, it kept scratching its limbs, trying to escape.
But obviously, he had just run away for a certain distance and was caught back. Now, no matter how hard he struggles, how can he escape from Xia Duo's "magic clutches"?
Xia Duo just raised his hand and "plucked" the struggling black cat from the air. He held it in his arms and kept comforting it, touching its head and scratching its chin, while not forgetting to gently rub its back.
Beat.
That is to say, the cat's movement has been restricted at this time. Otherwise, Xia Duo really doesn't know how to deal with such a noisy little guy!
Seeing that Xia Duo had already petted the cat, Niya also came over, carefully stretched out a hand and gently stroked the kitten's head, and soon exclaimed:
"So smooth and cute! Can you let me hug you?"
"Of course you can, but you have to be careful, it's still very shy now."
With that said, Xia Duo handed the black cat, which had become much calmer, into Niya's hands. At the same time, he did not forget to add a spell to soothe the soul. He was not sure how effective this spell would be on creatures without intelligence.
But judging from the results, at least it didn't have any counterproductive effects. The black cat lay quietly in Niya's arms, occasionally looking around with vigilant eyes.
Seeing this scene, Jam praised repeatedly, "Mage Athos, I didn't expect you to tame this meow so quickly!"
Similar to Jam, there was the Mulan man who was brought over, but he was more exaggerated. He fell to his knees directly and kept mumbling something.
Xia Duo couldn't understand the language of the Mulan people, so he asked Jamu: "What is he talking about?"
"Uh-" Jam hesitated, as if he didn't know how to speak, but under Sha Duo's gaze, he still managed to translate:
"Master Athos, he said you must be a divine messenger and the savior of the Mulan people."
"Angel? Savior? Hum!"
Xia Duo couldn't help but sneer in his heart, this Mulan people really have a big secret! So he asked Jam again: "Are the Mulan people religious gods?"
"this--"
Jam's eyes were confused and he quickly shook his head, "I don't know either. I've heard of it and never seen it. Master Athos, do you need me to send someone to investigate?"
"No need to bother, I'm just asking casually."
Sha Duo then turned the topic to cats again, and asked Jam: "How many meows can I find before I leave?"
"It's hard to say. We have never known that the Mulan people still hide such an animal that they regard as a sacred object. If you are lucky, you may find many of them. If you are unlucky, this may be the only one.
.”
"Definitely not the only one."
Shado had already seen a black cat at Kelani's place before, and together with the one Niya was holding now, there were two, and Kelani's one was not sure where it was in Imasca.
obtained, but there was a time interval in between, and there must be more than just these two.
Later, Shado instigated Jam to ask the Mulan man where he got the cat. Jam did not ask, but answered directly:
"Master Athos, we have asked this question before. He said that this meow appeared out of thin air in their settlement, and then it was revered as a sacred object by them according to the customs of their hometown. According to the Muran people's parlance, this
It’s a gift from God.”
"A gift from God? How could any God be so boring as to send an animal to His followers?"
"We think so too, but after asking many people, they couldn't tell the specific origin of this meow. In order not to delay Master Athos, we sent this one over first."
"I see!"
Although Sha Duo believed that Jamu did not lie to him, the Mulan people may not have told Jamu the truth. Cats are not a specialty of the main plane - at least not a specialty of the Western Continent. If neither Jamu nor Prince Aben lied,
If so, it probably isn’t a specialty of Imaska.
And if the Mulan people wanted to summon their gods, they really needed such a rare thing to unite their faith, so there was a deliberately crafted cat trick given by the gods.
Although this was Xia Duo's imagination, he was sure that his inspection just now was correct. The cat was an ordinary animal, and an ordinary animal must have an origin. Without an origin, it can only be said that there is a story in it.
Humans are born from human beings, and cats must also have cat ladies.
Recalling that Kelani's cat before was also pure black, and cats were not an endangered species in Sha Duo's hometown and had strong reproductive abilities, Sha Duo couldn't help but wonder whether the Mulan people were deliberately creating holy objects.
, how to deal with all the unexpected pure black cats?
This is very possible. Even if the Mulan people regard cats as sacred objects, they themselves are already slaves. For some more "noble" purposes, they may choose to sacrifice some sacred objects to create a purer faith.
However, there is no need to rely on Jam, an outsider, to ask these questions. After sending the Mulan man to the floating city, he sent Jam away, and then returned to the floating city with Niya.
Niya was busy petting the cat, while Sha Duo himself summoned the Mulan holy cat breeder to him, casually handed over an inspiration ring, and motioned for the other person to wear it on his head.
Perhaps he was really regarded as a divine envoy. This Mulan man was very obedient to Sha Duo's instructions. He respectfully put the crystal-shaped inspiration ring on his head as if he was holding some treasure.
"May I have your name?"
While asking questions, Xia Duo used his intelligence brain to simultaneously transmit such consciousness information to the other party in the Lingsi network. This Mulan man had obviously never experienced such a situation, and immediately knelt down on the ground again and kept chanting.
Words like divine messengers, destiny, etc.
But unlike before in the red square outside, this time Xia Duo understood the Mulan man's words through the consciousness information transmitted from the Lingsi network.
So, he repeated again, "Tell me, what is your name?"
Although a lot of miscellaneous thoughts were conveyed this time, I finally had a clear answer to Chateau's question - "The younger one's name is Sened."
"Senid, tell me, did that Meow really appear out of thin air in your settlement?"
"Yes, Lord Messenger, that is a gift from God."
Sened immediately conveyed such a message of consciousness, but then, Shado's brain interpreted another message among the nervous and awe-inspiring emotional messages -
"That meow was sent by Elder Hu Ni."
Good guy, you don’t even blush when you lie! Although Sha Duo can’t understand the language of the Mulan people, it’s obvious that what Sened just said is not what will be interpreted later.
So Xia Duo continued to ask——
"I ask you again, why do you call me the messenger of God? Which messenger of God is it?"
