The steam train slowly stops at Wigg Town Station.
The Hilleweg Mountains in the southwest of the Main Continent are located here.
There were only a few figures carrying suitcases or luggage on the empty platform.
The carriage was also empty. The passengers had already gotten off at the station in front. Lu Li and the others were the only remaining passengers.
"My mission is accomplished."
The shadow man sat motionless. He and the third person with strange abilities in the next carriage would no longer follow and would return with the steam train.
Surprisingly, Evil Fall chose to continue escorting them.
Lu Li put on his cloak and said goodbye to the shadow man. The waiter left the warm VIP carriage and stepped onto the platform as he bid farewell.
Unlike the ice-free port of Wiener, it is damp and cold, and there is no ubiquitous smell of sea and salt. It is the smell of mountains and earth.
Passengers waiting not far away walked into the carriage. Lu Li looked away from the platform and looked towards Weig Town.
Behind the small town of Vige are the rolling mountains, setting off the quiet town below.
If nothing had happened and the plants were still growing, this would have been a pleasant and comfortable town.
The noise of loading and unloading goods at the rear of the steam train made the station less deserted.
After stopping to observe for a while, they walked out of the station and onto the stone-paved street.
The streets lead to the center of the town, and ancient imprints are located in each town center to protect the town.
There are very few pedestrians on the streets, and almost no outsiders, all of whom are local residents. What is surprising is that the proportion of elderly people is very high, which is higher than that of Midnight City and Vina Freeze Port.
They sit on the front steps or on the benches, taking a comfortable morning rest.
If their clothes are not shabby and their bodies are not skinny.
Every local has one or several wild cats lying around, under the eaves, on the roof, or even in the middle of the road. They are solid color, lead color, or patterned. They are like clusters of fur balls, curled up into a ball,
Stretch into strips or stack together.
There are many wild cats in the small town of Vigo.
Because in the Hillewegg Mountains, no one is allowed to kill cats.
They found the right place.
Pusius liked this place very much. He could never see so many of the same kind whether in Midnight City or Vina Freeze Port.
If he hadn't followed Lu Li, he would have jumped into the cats and said hello to them.
But in the relaxing, pastoral atmosphere, Lu Li frowned slightly.
He sensed malice in some looks.
"You'd better take off this robe." The evil and annoying distorted voice sounded at the right time.
"Why."
"This is the land of the infidels."
The villain's protruding dim yellow eyes covertly scanned the outline of the black robe emerging from the dark corner.
"If you take off your robe, Mr. Lu Li will be recognized."
Before Pusius could finish speaking, Lu Li was already taking off his robe.
The farther away from the ice-free port of Wiener, the more serious the disconnection from civilization becomes. Radio cannot reach here, and the only medium to communicate with the outside world is newspapers that arrive with the steam trains that arrive every day.
Two days ago.
Without railways, news dissemination would no longer be described as speed, but by coincidence.
No matter incoming or outgoing.
Therefore, Lu Li does not need to worry about the news quickly reaching Weiner Freezing Port. He only needs to worry about the conspirators who have planned this place in advance.
Caterina also took off her black robe, except for Pusius, who was not suitable to be seen.
Some of the prying malice disappeared and was replaced by doubt.
"Where should we go first? It will get dark in less than two hours." Caterina said.
In order to conceal information, Mayor Mateus did not provide any materials that might reveal Lu Li's whereabouts.
Maps and other supplies needed to be purchased locally by Lu Li.
"Go to the grocery store first." Lu Li said.
At the end of the street, there is a grocery store at the edge of the ancient imprint.
With the locals watching, the group went deep into the small town of Vige.
They soon encountered obstacles, but the ones blocking their way were not locals or pagans, but a colorful tabby cat lying on the street.
It turned its back to the people approaching, suddenly turned over and hugged Lu Li's shoe, kicked it off with its back feet, and nibbled the leather on the shoe playfully.
Lu Li lowered his head, picked up the tabby cat, which was not afraid of people, by its scruff and put it aside.
The colorful tabby cat squatted and raised its front paws to lick and wash its face. After Lu Li left, he got up to follow Lu Li, arching his back and rubbing Lu Li's trouser legs.
"It likes you very much." Catalina said.
"Mr. Lu Li has always been very popular." Pusius said as if honor had been added to him.
"But being too charming is not a good thing." Catalina glanced around.
As if attracted by Lu Li's aura, more and more wild cats gathered around them, surrounding them in front of the store.
The grocery store manager who was cleaning the windows arrived in time with a broom. He did not dare to harm these cute and deadly creatures like elves, so he could only shout "Go" to drive away the wild cats surrounding the guests.
The broom was stained with water, and the wild cats fled away. The rescued people were able to enter the grocery store smoothly.
The store manager at the end, waving a broom, quickly closed the door.
Wild cats crowded at the door and meowed into the house.
The old grocery store has some history, and the clutter on the shelves has accumulated dust, and only half of it has been wiped clean.
"You come from the ice-free port of Wiener?"
The store manager put down his broom and returned behind the counter.
"You know us?" Katarina warned.
"Only the smell of fish can attract these little guys to get entangled like they are in heat." The store manager grinned and said, spitting out and retracting his forked tongue like an afterimage...
"You don't know us?" Katerina asked again.
"Uh... who are you?" The store manager's eyes swept over Lu Li's handsome face and his twisted face with a look of evil and hatred.
Only these two people impressed him deeply, one was unbearable and the other was indescribable.
"Nothing." Lu Li said. "We need a map of the Hilleweg Mountains."
He didn't see any newspapers in the store, and the store manager seemed to have little information.
"What kind?"
"The more complete the better, and there is also a map of Nice Town."
"Nice town?" the store manager recalled. "It was abandoned long ago."
"I know."
"Okay, I'll look through the box, maybe I can find it again." Shrugging, the store manager went into the back room and heard the reflection.
Katarina and Evil Fall separated and looked around at the things in the store.
Not only this grocery store has history, but also the products in the store.
Canned fish from Belfast's Craving Factory, color photos of King Allen City, and local souvenirs from the Hilleweig Mountains.
To a certain extent, this place can remind people of the past just like the museum.
Lu Li's eyes fell on the conspicuous place behind the counter, where a silhouette painting was placed.
The jet-black cat squatted like a lady by the fountain. The elegant and slender black cat's long and narrow tail was like a shadow, surrounding the cat's body and almost connecting end to end.
"Fortunately, I found it..."
The store manager lowered his head and emerged from behind the curtain, grabbing the folded yellowed parchment.
"What is that."
Lu Li asked about the cat silhouette painting.
The store manager put his dusty palm on his right chest and said piously.
