A strange world

Chapter 362 Chapter 20. Cats make great contributions

All city-states have areas beyond the reach of royal power.

This is the case in Syltovis, the city of Bethal, and even Breeze City cannot avoid it - there are a large number of gangs surrounding the slums in the south of the city, and countless crimes breed there, and they will not disappear no matter how many times they are cleaned up, Olmedo We can only acquiesce in the existence of gray. Because the cost of cleaning them is far greater than you imagine.

Betar City is completely controlled by the powerful, and they never care about the life and death of the lower classes. It is said that not long after Breeze City moved, Bethal City, which was besieged by ratmen, also began to move. As for how many people escaped, Olmedo did not even dare to tell Annan.

So the elves like to say that other races have original sin, because the elves are arrogant, but they really never hurt each other, and they have lofty ideals and the determination to fight for honor.

Except for dark elves.

Due to historical issues, Syltoves is only more complicated than other towns. In any case, the gray areas of Sltoves are like gangs in the slums. Some run casinos, some work as skinners, and some raise pickpockets. Succubi roam the night, vampires seek blood in taverns, and other magical creatures haunt the night.

The vampires living in Syltovis even split into factions:

A group of vampires who cooperate with nobles. There are vampires who are looking for business in the tavern, vampires who lead gangs to feed their blood, and foreign vampires who come here because of their reputation.

Factions have spawned chains of contempt:

Vampires who hang out with nobles look down on vampires who feed in taverns. Vampires who feed in taverns look down on vampires who wander on the edge of the law. Vampires who wander on the edge of the law look down on vampires who come from outside to kill indiscriminately.

"We were definitely not the ones who captured your friends!"

I imagine Xian Na's mother was not particularly worried about her daughter's safety... Was it the first person who took Xian Na away?

"I can let you go back, but you have to help me investigate."

Annan asked the earth element to let go of it, believing the vampire's words.

"What can I get?"

"If you find me, I can give you some of my blood."

"Are you still going to attend that super exciting banquet? There are many nobles..."

This vampire isn't giving up yet. Warlocks are a scarce resource, especially pure warlocks that have not been eaten.

Hesitant Annan finally shook his head, he hadn't found Xian Na yet.

After letting the vampire leave, Annan put away the two elements and walked into a new tavern.

This time no more magical creatures arrived. Late at night, Annan declined the tavern owner's invitation to stay - because his appearance made the guests sit for a long time.

The cool late-night wind blows in, and it seems that it can only keep Xian Na imprisoned for one more day...

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Annan heard a series of cats meowing from the alley next to him. After handing the reins to the waiter who came out, Annan followed the sound and saw the tabby cat squatting in the alley with its cat friends, telling stories.

In the quiet night, Annan's footsteps alerted the cats, and some even made attempts to escape.

"Don't be afraid, he is a good man. He always feeds the cat delicious food." The cat said, and the pair of twinkling cat eyes made Annan want to empty his pocket.

"Are you the boss of these cats?" Annan asked.

"They listen to cats and meow."

"Can you ask them to find someone for me?"

"Leave it to the cat."

The cat and its friends translated Annan's words: "One of his friends named Xian Na was captured by bad guys."

"What is Xana?"

"What are friends?"

"What is a vampire?"

After struggling to make a group of cats understand what he meant, Annan puffed out his chest and declared generously like a respected hero: "Find Xian Na, and you can eat as much fish and meat as you want."

The only audience members made a series of meows.

"The cats asked what fish meat is." said the tabby cat.

The strange noise in the alley lasted for a long time. Annan returned to the mansion, opened the bedroom window, and waved to the cats on the street.

"Come back and tell me immediately if you find any traces."

"Let's go, meow!"

The cat ordered and the cats dispersed.

And Annan entered meditation with a wonderful sense of accomplishment.

In the early morning, Annan was awakened by a noise.

The cats were howling outside the window, but Martin in the living room was still sleeping soundly.

Sleepy-eyed Annan saw the tabby cat jumping onto the window sill surrounded by cats: "The cats have found Xian Nali."

…

The people of Sltovis saw a strange sight today: dozens of cats running in front, followed by a carriage.

Annan and Alice met at the intersection and followed the cats to a warehouse on the edge of the slum.

This is the territory of the Fernan Gang, but the leader of the Fernan Gang has not shown up for several days. Annan guessed that the vampires who occupied the magpie's nest cleaned them up...but he found no traces of vampires near the warehouse.

Did they abandon this place?

"Your Highness, are we the only ones?" Luther King showed fear due to the dark warehouse: "Should we call more people..."

"enough."

Annan opened the portal and summoned five earth element teams.

One team protects the cats, another protects them, and the remaining three teams explore the warehouse.

The unsold stolen goods were piled up in the warehouse. The elements then found the entrance to the converted basement. In the basement converted into a dungeon, they found several blood foods that were about to weaken into mummies, as well as piles of bones ranging from children to the elderly... …

"Vampires are so damned..."

Then they discovered that these bones ranged from a few years to a few months ago. They were sins committed by the Fernan Gang, and those bloodthirsty people were the top brass of the Fernan Gang.

"Vampires are so damned that they are still here..."

I had no time to think about whether these vampires were doing good things, so I ordered the earth element to continue searching, and finally found Xana deep in the dungeon.

Xian Na was fine. Except for being not very clean due to being handcuffed, she didn't have many injuries other than scratches.

So Xanna, who was saved, did not throw herself into Annan's arms. She wrapped herself in a blanket and asked Annan weakly and gratefully: "Are you doing it for me?"

Thinking of the gems promised by Xian Na's mother, Annan said seriously: "Yes."

After handing Xana to the housekeeper who came over, and then handing the scene to the city hall, Annan put the cats, the biggest contributors, into the carriage, drove them back to the mansion, and rented the restaurant next to it.

The restaurant manager said reservedly: "Sorry sir, we can't help your cat——"

Wow——

Annan threw the heavy money bag on the counter, and the gold coins scattered out.

"Guys! Bring out your best skills!"

In a restaurant full of cat tails and licking sounds, Annan and Alice sat in front of the window and talked about the strange behavior of Xina's mother.

"Forget it, this is Xian Na's family's business."

Annan has gained a lot in these two days:

He gained wealth, which means the reward from Xana's family; he broadened his horizons, and discovered the methods of those nobles; he was welcomed, which means that even vampires can't resist his charm.

Peace returns to Annan's life—oh, and there are a bunch of cats to feed.

As well as an Empire Contest to participate in.
