I don't know if the other party has discovered the secret of this mansion. But there's no way he wouldn't be discovered if he walked openly in the middle of the corridor. This is a bad habit that the mage brought to me, the gray cat complained to itself. It even forgot to walk close to the wall and tried to hide as much as possible.
In order to avoid a direct confrontation, Hardy jumped onto the window sill at the side of the corridor and jumped out. In reality, he jumped onto the rain canopy outside the wall and planned to follow the other party and see what they were up to. After thinking for a moment, he walked a short distance and turned into a small corner of the wall. It was not to the extent that the other party would be able to see him just by poking their head out of the window.
It was snowing on a winter night in the Holy City, and the temperature was very low. But it was not a big problem for a seasoned magic cat. Hardy waited quietly. A moment later, a figure crept past him. The footsteps were very light, almost inaudible. If it wasn't for the cat's exceptionally sharp senses, it might have been overlooked. But the other party did not deliberately check the window to see the cat's movements.
According to Hardy's standards, this intruder's stealth skills were already very good. But it seemed that he was a little inexperienced. He did not check the window or close it. He only wanted to leave everything as it was, and not consider reducing the possible variables to the minimum.
Although the window was only opened a crack, it was not a big problem for the cat. He could pass through with a turn of his head. Moreover, Hardy could not force his way through, but gently shrink his body and pass through without touching the door or window at all. He jumped down the corridor lightly and followed a little behind the intruder. He made sure that the corridor's automatically lit lights were continuous, and did not abruptly turn off and light up again.
Hardy paid attention to retracting his sharp claws into his feet and only touching the ground with his meatballs. It was almost as if he was walking with a magic of silence.
There were a few times when the intruder seemed to have sensed something behind him and turned around abruptly. Although the intruder's movements were nimble, the gray cat still noticed a trace of it, and Hardy was always able to shrink behind the pillar beside the corridor before the intruder turned around. The pillar only protruded slightly from the wall. It was not big enough to hide a person, but it was more than enough to hide a small cat.
Following the intruder upstairs, it seemed that the intruder's target was the human magician living in the attic. Wheeze kept complaining in its heart throughout the journey. It was scared by the lineup of the mage's family members, and thought that this was some kind of dangerous place. In the end, a random thief was able to barge in, and even stroll through the streets as if there was no one around.
What the hell is this place? There was no safety at all.
In order to give the human mage a warning, Hardy decided to make a move at the last moment. First, teach the magician a lesson, and then save him. A few scratches or broken limbs shouldn't be a problem, right? Anyway, they could use magic to heal themselves. Otherwise, they could just lick their saliva and heal themselves.
Wheeze didn't let down its guard in the slightest because it didn't want the tailed intruder to notice its presence. Even if the stairs that humans walked on were not very friendly to cats, as long as they were careful, no one would discover them.
There was only one room in the attic, and there was only one person sleeping in it. At first, Wheeze thought that since there were so many females in this room, including the unknown Lich, there should be someone sleeping with this human, and even mating. But to Hardy's surprise, the human was sleeping alone.
According to Wheeze's knowledge, other than rabbits, the only creatures that would be in heat all the time were humans. When Wheeze stayed in the nobles' castle, there would be mating everywhere in the castle at night. As for the relationship, Hardy still couldn't figure out who was who.
Oh, other than humans, there were also goblins, orcs, dwarves, elves. These creatures that walked on two legs were similar. Without any warning, they would go into heat for no reason and then mate with the opposite sex. Some even went as far as to mate with the same sex...
I don't understand, I don't understand.
The attic's door wasn't locked, and the intruder opened it with a push. The skylight used for stargazing had been closed, and the human magician was sleeping soundly on his bed. He didn't notice the intruder at all.
In the middle of the night, especially in winter, there was no sound of insects. It was very quiet. In the room, only the human magician's soft snoring could be heard. But the intruder's breathing suddenly became a little heavier. Hardy knew that this was a change in his emotions.
The silhouette that could only be seen took out a dull dagger. The strange color that flashed across the blade, and the strange smell that the cat smelled told Hardy that this was a dagger dipped in poison. In the mouth of other humans, it would be called a despicable weapon, because those who were hurt by this kind of dagger would die very quickly, and there was usually no saving them.
He wanted to teach this human magician a lesson, but he didn't want to take his life. Then, it was time to stop him.
Sharp claws popped out. Hardy wasn't a house cat, but a cat warrior who had gone through hundreds of battles. Countless people had died under his claws and fangs. Other than demons and magical beasts, there were even humans.
Almost at the same time the intruder raised the dagger, Hardy suddenly pounced forward, bared his fangs and screamed!
The scene in the attic changed completely the moment the gray cat pounced forward. It turned into a strange space that was pitch black from top to bottom, left to right, and only dots of starlight could be seen. Before the gray cat and the intruder could react, countless white rays shot out from every direction and disappeared in a flash!
The attic returned to its original state. The furniture was still made of wood. The astronomical telescope was placed under the skylight, and the human magician was still sleeping on the bed. He just turned over.
The sudden turn of events also disrupted the rhythm of the attack. The gray cat that pounced forward rammed into the intruder's body and 'scattered' him on the spot.
The stunned gray cat bared its teeth and fell to the ground. It was splattered with blood all over its body. Intestines, chunks of meat, some fell to the side, some hit the body directly. Hardy didn't understand what happened. He only maintained the fierce expression he had when he pounced forward.
Suddenly, the door that the intruder closed opened again. A black-haired, brown-skinned girl in pajamas walked in while yawning. At this time, the human magician asked from the bed, "Who is it?"
"Teacher, it's Kaya."
"What's wrong? Is there a sound?"
"There's another intruder."
"Oh, let's do it as usual."
"Okay."
Since both of them were still in a half-awake state, their conversation was short. Basically, they didn't say much after the keywords were mentioned.
In fact, whether her teacher was awake or not, the girl would deal with the intruder in the same way if he gave her a few more instructions. She took out a short magic wand and waved it. A simple but skilled teleportation spell caused the pile of meat on the ground and the large pool of blood to float up. The red gray cat was among them.
Narrowing her eyes, Kaya looked at everything in a blur. She casually took out a special cloth bag and put everything inside. Then, she slung it over her shoulder and walked toward the east side of the main house, toward the expanded building.
When she pushed open the connecting door, she was greeted by a stinky breath. Kaya seemed to be used to it. She wasn't completely awake either and said, "Grandpa, the supper is here."
The black dragon who was lying on the ground in his original posture lifted his eyelids. When he saw that it was the girl carrying a cloth bag, his heavy eyelids closed again. Augustus moved his intact front claw and said, "Put it in the same place. I'm a little hungry anyway."
"Alright," Kaya replied and placed the bundle on top of a large copper basin. After untying it, she shook it a few times and pulled out the cloth bag. The only thing left in the basin was the pile of human-shaped meat and the gray cat.
After doing all this, the girl rolled up the cloth bag and planned to go back to sleep. She would clean up the rest tomorrow.
At this time, Hardy who had rolled into the copper basin was still in a daze.
Augustus' claw reached out and picked up the most delicious piece of 'meat' and was about to send it into his mouth.
The black dragon might be quite old, but his teeth wouldn't fall out like an old human's. At most, his bite strength had regressed, and he wasn't as strong as when he was young. But his crisscrossed fangs still flashed with an intimidating light. Even under the moonlight, the 'meat' that was about to enter his mouth still came back to his senses. The gray cat began to twist its body and struggle hard. It also made a lot of noises.
A cat's cry in the middle of the night was very disturbing. Augustus' sleepiness was driven away by it. He closed his mouth and lifted one eyelid. What entered his eyes was the cat he had caught. The old dragon asked, "Hmm, are you here for supper or as supper?"
"Put me down! Put me down! "Hardy, who didn't choose his words carefully, didn't care about the common language and just shouted in beast language. At the same time, he twisted his body desperately, trying to scratch the black dragon with his hind claws and make it let go in pain. That way, he would be able to break free.
Unfortunately, cat claws were just cat claws. Even if the old dragon's scales fell off and the old meat underneath was exposed, it was still not something a kitten could scratch. But Augustus still let go and let Hardy fall to the ground.
Since the cat was already half-awake, Augustus didn't take it slow. He picked up the copper basin and poured the contents into the dragon's mouth. After a few crunching sounds, it spat out some things that it couldn't chew through.
In the end, he picked up a longsword that was showing signs of corrosion and picked his teeth. At the same time, he looked at the 'kitten' in front of him with a strange expression and complicated emotions.
Realizing that the black dragon didn't try to grab him again or even eat him, Hardy didn't know whether he should retreat or what to do for a moment. On the contrary, Augustus spoke first, "Little guy, how did you get into my plate? This is not a good habit. "
"Yes, I just found an intruder." Hardy tried to organize his words and answered in beast language, "Anyway, I just saw that it suddenly turned black and there were a lot of white lights flashing. Then, when I came back to my senses, I was here. "But to be honest, the gray cat still didn't know what it saw.
"Oh, here they come again. You just have to get used to it. A group of people comes every few days anyway. A while ago, a group of dark-skinned, pointy eared ones came. They were so soft and tender. Eating them made me miss the past. "The black dragon sighed inexplicably.
