Volume 3 Obsidian Chapter 179: The Cat God's Response
On the streets of the small town of Kazette.
Hearing that the Cat God's followers had arrived, countless white cats came following the sound.
Without exception, they all gathered around Chen Lun with excitement, anticipation and piety, but were blocked one meter away by two dedicated white cat guards with shields.
More guards joined the team to "protect" Chen Lun, fearing that these cat residents would collide with the Lord's Follower.
Chen Lun looked at these excited white cats and listened to the noisy sounds around him, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
"Is this the feeling of being admired and worshipped by so many living beings...?"
He thought to himself and shook his head secretly.
'But I am not a true devotee, nor do I indulge in it.'
Just as the roads in the town were blocked and several white cat guards were in distress , bursts of exclamations were heard from the cat residents.
“Get out of the way!”
"The mayor is here!"
"It's High Priest Daye!"
The white cats seemed to have great respect for the high priest and consciously made way for him.
Chen Lun looked up and saw a big cat that looked out of place among the white cats around it slowly approaching.
It was a tiger-striped brown, with an expression of eternal calm, even a hint of laziness.
What is most surprising is that the limbs of this big cat are very short.
This reminded Chen Lun of the Corgi among cats - the Munchkin.
High Priest Daye slowly came to Chen Lun, squatted on the ground, looked up and looked at him quietly.
After a while.
There was first confusion in its eyes, then shock.
"You... are indeed the one favored by the Cat God!"
It slowly stood up like a human, but because its arms and legs were too short, it looked a little funny.
"Please accept Kazt's hospitality, Master Favored One."
Daye somehow figured out Chen Lun's identity as a "follower" and seemed a little excited.
The cat residents around became even more excited after hearing the affirmation from High Priest Daye, and began to meow and cheer.
Because Wonderland has lost the sun, moon and stars, it is impossible to judge time by light, so the cat residents of Kaz'st determine the day and night based on the strange symbols outside the white spire.
It is said that the spire has stood here since the first day of Kazt's birth. It has been blessed by the God of Cats and serves as the "Temple of the God of Cats", enshrining the statue of the God of Cats.
At this moment, a total of eighteen symbols lit up outside the white spire, meaning it was six o'clock in the evening.
Under the command of the high priest Daye, many cat residents began to prepare a dinner and hold the warmest welcome ceremony for the Master.
Chen Lun followed Daye all the way and came to a large red-roofed house deep in the town.
This is Daye's residence.
It is also the venue for large-scale events in Kazite.
There is a "big" living room on the first floor, but for Chen Lun, it is just slightly larger than an ordinary reception room.
The long table had been set, and from time to time a white cat brought food.
"Master, please taste the delicious food of Kazite."
Daye sat in the second seat and spoke to Chen Lun who was sitting in the main seat.
Chen Lun looked at the dishes on the table, most of which were dried fish, with a few being some strange insects he had never seen before.
“…”
He took a deep breath, suppressed his discomfort, avoided the various dried fish, picked up a fried beetle with a fork, and stuffed it into his mouth.
To Chen Lun’s surprise, the taste was actually quite good.
It has a chicken-like aroma, but is mellower and juicier.
After tasting it, Bear Grylls called it professional!
"This is the fine brew of our White Cat Clan, Sun Wine, please enjoy it!"
At this time, an old white cat stood up from the second seat on the other side. It picked up a pot of crystal clear wine and handed it to the cat waiter.
The white cat waiter came to Chen Lun, respectfully poured him a glass, and then placed the wine jug on the table.
Chen Lun held the wine glass curiously and looked at the wine inside.
[Extraordinary wine - Sun Wine]
Item description: The white cats living in the dream world of Kazite are most proud of their wine. It is their remembrance of the sun and also their drink before battle.
White cats believe that by drinking the sun wine, they can gain the blessing of the cat god and good luck will come.
Item Effect: After taking it, luck increases by 5, and the probability of hitting, dodging and dropping treasures is increased, which lasts for 72 hours.
Warning: Taking it with Moon Wine may cause unpredictable consequences.
"A consumable item that increases luck...? That's so rare!"
There was a flash of surprise in Chen Lun's eyes.
In fact, the special attribute of luck value is indeed a buff that increases various probabilities in the game. But Chen Lun has a hunch that it is not just such a superficial appearance.
"Hmm... good wine!"
Chen Lun picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and exclaimed in admiration.
The alcohol content of Sun Wine is not high, and it contains a complex and rich fragrance of flowers and fruits. After drinking a glass, you will feel warm all over.
"Moon Wine and Sun Wine, I wonder if I can get the recipes for these two wines... It would be great if I could replicate them with my secondary profession of [Winemaker]!"
It can be said that these two wines are of the highest quality.
Because they increase special attributes! And the amplification effect is not low, and the duration is also long!
Most importantly, based on the description in "Dream Town of Kazt", Chen Lun speculated that drinking these two kinds of wine together can increase the "insight" attribute.
The sailor in the story saw the vision because he drank two kinds of wine at the same time. This is very similar to the performance of the sudden increase in the "Insight" attribute.
After the banquet.
Daye said that he wanted to discuss things with the Lord alone, and the other white cat residents left on their own accord.
Although they were very curious about this lord's favor and were also attracted by the friendly aura he exuded, they ultimately chose to retreat out of respect for the high priest.
"My Lord, Kazt has been waiting for your arrival for more than ten years..."
Daye squatted on a chair with a heavy expression.
"Since the disaster of pollution came, everything in the Natural Forest has changed. It is no longer peaceful and tranquil, but full of chaos and killing. The Cat God once sent down an oracle, telling us that one day in the future, the Favored One will finally come and save Kazt from the threat of pollution."
Chen Lun looked at it, pondered for a moment, and finally asked:
"Why are you so sure that I am the one favored by the Cat God?"
There was a hint of surprise in Daye's eyes.
"Your arrival has caused a vision in the cat god statue, and...most importantly, you have his blessing and his breath."
"bless……!"
Chen Lun was slightly stunned.
He has three blessings, namely [Nature's Favor], [Shining Star] and [Knowledge Collector].
"Could it be...?"
Daye's expression became pious and respectful.
"Magimilna, the cat god, has given you the power of nature, so you can't be wrong."
Chen Lun was a little surprised.
"The Angel of Nature Maggie is actually the God of Cats?!"
Daye stood up.
"Master, your questions may be answered in the Cat Temple... Please follow me."
It said, leading the way out the door.
Chen Lun followed it, left the hall, and went to the white spire in the center of the town of Kazt.
A man and a cat entered through a small door half a person's height, climbed up the stone spiral staircase engraved with wave patterns, and went up all the way.
Finally we reached the top of the spire.
This place is similar to an attic. Through the transparent crystal wall, you can overlook the entire town of Kazt and even see further away.
Chen Lun glanced casually and saw a pile of rocks outside the town of Custer. Beyond the rocks was an endless black plain, giving people a depressing and uneasy visual impact.
The statue of the cat god was quietly placed on a wooden platform, with some flowers and berries in front of it for offering.
This statue is similar to the one in front of the Cat God Bridge, but this one is carved from some strange wood and exudes a fragrant aroma.
Daye picked up a book from the offerings in front of the statue with both hands and handed it to Chen Lun solemnly.
"This is the 'Cat God Cult's Book', which records the teachings and oracles of the Cat God... Sir, please take a look."
Chen Lun took it.
[Obtain the mythical book "Cat God Cult Scripture"! ]
"This is the highest-level reward in the mission... and I got it so easily!"
He looked very surprised.
"Is this a bug...?"
Chen Lun gently opened the book and began to read it.
This is a "mythological book" that is more advanced than the "mysterious book", and it records deeper contents of the mysterious realm.
[ By reading carefully, you gain 1000 experience points, 1 skill point and 1 attribute point! ]
[Cat God Cult Scriptures (Current progress 5%)]
Chen Lun secretly thought that the reward was generous and continued reading.
[By reading carefully, you know the honorific name of "Cat God", and gain 5000 experience points! Insight attribute +1! ]
"The King of the Natural Forest, the Protector of Kaz's, the Great Cat God...
The spirit under the holy tree, the rhythm of nature, the guide of countless lives...
Her Majesty Maggie Myrna."
Chen Lun followed the records in the classics and slowly recited the honorable name.
The next moment.
The wooden statue's eyes shone brightly.
Amid Daye’s excited expression, the statue looked at Chen Lun.
boom!
Chen Lun's mind suddenly went blank.
He vaguely heard a distant female voice, talking to him in detail.
After a while.
Everything around me returned to normal.
The vision of the wooden statue disappeared, and Daye prostrated himself in front of the statue, muttering a prayer.
Chen Lun looked at all this in shock, and then he recalled what he had just heard.
'The so-called 'Cat God' is just an incarnation of the natural angel Maggie. He in the fairyland knows his identity very well... He asked me to return to the human world and recite his honorable name again, and he will answer some of my doubts...? '
At this time.
Daye stopped praying.
After it stood up, it came to Chen Lun with a more respectful expression.
"My Lord."
Chen Lun took a deep breath and temporarily accepted his identity.
"What threat is Kazt town facing now, and what do you need me to do?"
He spoke.
"My Lord, at dusk on the day of the middle of the month, the polluted creatures in the Natural Forest will riot... For some reason, the polluted creatures nearby will collectively attack Kazt. We call this the 'pollution tide'."
Daye looked solemn.
"Although we have the protection of the spire, every time there is a wave of pollution, some cat residents will be killed or injured. We can no longer hold on... In two days, there will be a new round of pollution..."
Chen Lun nodded.
"I understand. I will help you when the time comes."
Daye seemed very excited and performed a prayer.
"Thank you, my noble Lord!"
Chen Lun returned the "Cat God Cult Scriptures" to Daye. The book could not be taken away, so he planned to find time to come to Kazt in the future to finish reading it.
"I will be here on time in two days."
