Charlotte wanted to uncover the whole truth, but she offended too many powerful people because of it and had to leave her hometown.
……
Xia Zhi had asked her younger and older cousins, but they both said that the distribution of the Eye of God had little to do with the Seven Gods, nor with the other party's personality.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence.
Xia Zhi stood up and gave a slight smile.
Originally, he just wanted to help Yanfei repay the favor that Yura had done for saving her.
Now that he has learned more about Yura, he really wants to help her.
Flowers that bloom from the mud always seem purer and more beautiful.
--
Noelle, Klee, and Fischl happened to be there when they had breakfast.
Xia Zhi then took out the jade pendant he had carved the night before and gave it to them.
Keli had long coveted the rabbit jade pendant that Yao Yao was wearing, but she was too embarrassed to ask her older brother for it directly. Now that she finally had one herself, she happily accepted it and said thank you in a crisp voice.
Fischl had always envied the jade pendant on Qiqi's body. After thanking her sincerely, she carefully hung it on her own body.
There are also Xia Le and Xia Lin.
The two little female dragons also received gifts, of course.
Xia Zhi gave them a small hourglass and a safety buckle.
The former is the dragon that is in harmony with time.
The latter expresses the hope that she will always be safe and happy.
Rosalia, holding Little White, glanced in their direction, her expression unchanged.
After all, she wasn't that close to everyone yet, and she wasn't that fond of jewelry.
After having breakfast, we went to the pet store.
Everyone saw that several people were already waiting at the door with their cats.
They were all adventurers who had accepted the [Stray Cat Request] from the Adventurers' Guild.
They just picked up stray cats on the street and brought them over to earn a little money for drinks.
Rosalia went over to talk to them, took in all the stray cats, and gave them the mission token.
There were five cats in total, all of them dirty. Three of them were injured, some with fresh wounds, mostly caused by the adventurers when they were capturing the cats.
This is unavoidable, since stray cats are inherently difficult to catch, and adventurers, who spend their lives fighting monsters, don't have the patience to slowly capture them.
These cats all looked very uneasy when they were around people; some even bared their teeth and hissed, showing a fierce expression.
Qiqi took out her whistle and blew it softly to comfort them.
Xia Zhi possesses the "Guardian of the Forest," enabling her to "communicate" with animals and comfort these little creatures.
The cats gradually quieted down.
Rosalia took out the bandages and medication, preparing to treat them.
Xia Zhi took out the jade pendant and handed it to her: "Use this."
Rosalia paused for a moment: "What is this?"
Xia Zhi said, "A small item that can give you healing abilities."
Rosalia hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the jade pendant, hanging it around her neck.
Then, she felt something suddenly appear in her heart.
【Healing Spell】 and 【Purification Spell】.
Rosalia reached out her hand, a soft white light emanating from it, and gently touched the stray cat's wound.
The wound heals at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Liu Yun Zhenjun stood to the side, watching this familiar scene, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.
I was seriously injured at that time, and he treated me in the same way.
In no time, all of the cat's wounds were healed.
Rosalia looked up at Xia Zhi, as if she wanted to say something, but then lowered her head again to continue treating the remaining two cats.
After healing all the cats, she then purified all five cats.
A white light spread out from the cat, and the cat, which had been listless, immediately became full of energy. It even ran to Xia Zhi and Qi Qi's feet and rubbed its back against them.
Xia Zhi laughed and picked them up, watching them meow, and said, "You're so dirty, yet you still try to rub against us!"
They then threw them behind the shop to take a bath.
Cats are very afraid of water. When their owners are taking a shower, cats often sit outside the door and meow incessantly when they hear the sound of water. They are actually worried that their owners might drown in the shower.
Qiqi stood by the basin, trying to comfort her.
After a lot of effort, I finally finished giving them a bath and dried their fur with a hairdryer. The five dirty kittens became clean and adorable.
The girls laughed and picked them up, saying they were even cuter than the Little Prince from the Cat's Tail Tavern.
Rosalia walked over and took the pendant off: "Here you go."
Xia Zhi didn't take it, and laughed, "Why are you giving it to me?"
"This is your thing."
"No, this is yours now. If any stray cats are brought here in the future, you can use it to treat them."
"Medication is sufficient for treatment; this treasure is far too precious."
"The medicine takes too long to work, so just consider this a loan to you. Please keep it safe for me."
"I'm afraid I'll lose it, and I can't afford to pay for it."
"You don't need to pay for it."
"No."
Rosalia still didn't want it.
Xia Zhi thought for a moment, took the pendant, and then called out, "Xiao Bai."
The white cat obediently ran over.
Xia Zhi tied the pendant to the white cat and said, "This is for you from now on."
"Meow……"
Rosalia looked at Little White, gently twitching the corners of her mouth, revealing a hint of helplessness.
Xia Zhi stood up and took out another crystal ball, handing it to Rosalia.
"Keep this."
"What is this?"
"A crystal ball that makes people tell the truth. If someone wants to adopt a cat from the store in the future, you can use it to test their true thoughts."
Gan Yu, who was standing next to her, glanced at the crystal ball and blushed again.
Liu Yun noticed the change in her expression and, recalling what happened at the internet cafe last night, seemed to understand something.
Hearing this, the other girls also gathered around with great interest, saying they wanted to play some games.
Rosalia, watching everyone playing around, couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xia..."
"You should call me boss now."
"Boss, you're going to use such a treasure for this kind of thing?"
Don't you think this kind of thing is important?
"...It could clearly be used to do many more useful things."
Rosalia also has the identity of an executioner, and in her view, the best use of this crystal ball is to extract information from suspicious individuals.
Telling the truth is far more effective than any form of torture or forced confession.
Xia Zhi waved his hand and said, "Anyway, this thing is yours to use as you please."
Rosalia paused for a moment, but this time she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Okay, boss."
Chapter 535 All are the Orioles (4K)
Because the "Stray Cat" quest was commissioned by a newly emerged, mysterious, and legendary adventurer, it attracted the curiosity and attention of many adventurers in the association.
Although the reward for this quest is meager, its content is very simple and requires no extra effort. If you're lucky enough to spot a stray cat on the roadside, you can easily complete it. As a result, many adventurers accepted the quest after reviewing it.
After all, every little bit helps, and most adventurers are still short of money.
It was for this reason that adventurers kept bringing stray cats to the pet shop all morning.
