Lucian stayed under the white tiger for as long as its fever lasted.
Its body temperature was very hot. Its golden hair was shrinking inwards, and the white tiger's body was shrinking inwards as well. It was as if the originally uncontrollable and expanding energy had finally converged into essence. The white tiger's body also gradually shrank inwards from its original giant size, becoming a small tiger cub.
Finally, convergence reaches its end.
The white tiger eventually became a small, furry ball, and looked about the same size as Lucian. The heat of its body faded, and it closed its eyes, looking like it would continue to sleep for a while. The white cat then raised its face, rubbed it, and licked its fur.
It's rare for Lucian to lick the white tiger's fur.
He licked the white tiger cub's hair attentively. Compared with his own hair, it was a little hard, but he finally combed it into a clean state. Seeing that there was still some time before the white tiger woke up, he stood up and transformed himself into a human form.
He had lived in the cave for a long time. A few days ago, a crack appeared in the cave and water began to leak out. Since Wade had digested the divine blood and was about to wake up, Lucian planned to carry him out of the cave and try his luck in the nearby villages or tribes.
Or buy some herbs and make some potions to help Wade stabilize his soul.
System: "Lucian, you..."
"When he wakes up, he will definitely repay me." Lucian half-closed his eyelashes and said lazily, "He said he would support me before, but now he makes me suffer so much."
system:…
Does he mean he wants to support you? He means he wants to imprison you.
However, the system still wisely chose to keep silent about the issue between Lucian and Wade. The spirit, values and relationship of these two people are obviously very different from ordinary people.
Lucian carried Wade out. Now that Wade was smaller, it was more convenient for him. The furry little white tiger cub lay obediently in his arms, its body rising and falling, sleeping and breathing. Lucian lowered his head and pinched its ears with his white fingertips.
"Silly," he said.
Lucian had long legs and had added a speed rune to himself that used the power of wind, so he could walk fast. After losing control, Vader held him in his arms and ran all the way, and now they were far away from the orc city. So Lucian decided to follow the water source and look for the nearest shelter.
He used a cleansing spell to remove his orcish ethnic clothing, put on a gauze cloak, and wore a few silver bracelets on his wrists. He looked like a dusty traveler.
Soon, he met several beasts who were out hunting.
The beastmen were all teenagers, and they seemed to be from the same village. After looking at Lucian, some of them looked wary and curious.
"What are you?" asked the beastly boy in the lead, who had canine ears on his head.
Lucian looked at his clothes and ethnicity without noticing anything.
In the beast society, there is a fairly clear division of classes according to ethnicity. Large carnivorous beasts such as wolves, tigers, lions, and leopards are the most powerful and stand at the top of the beast population. Cows, horses, donkeys and other hardworking beasts with gentle personalities are in the middle of society. Those with small bodies and insufficient strength, such as moles, rats, and insects, are at the bottom of the beast society.
Of course, in addition to this, very weak creatures such as rabbits with beautiful appearance also have very subtle social status due to very subtle reasons. In addition to rabbits, other species whose status has risen due to their appearance include foxes, etc.
Although small omnivores such as cats, dogs, and monkeys do not have the ferocity of wolves and tigers, or the strength of cows and horses, their agility, sense of smell, and night vision give them unique advantages. In many cases, rather than accepting the exploitation of large animals such as wolves, tigers, and lions in large city-states, they prefer to form small gatherings or tribes to jointly resist external risks and hunt.
Lucian looked at the leading boy and the other boys around him and confirmed that most of them belonged to the canine family. The clothes they wore were also normal, mostly coarse linen or simply processed leather, without expensive leather or silk.
Very safe.
Lucian simply made up a bardic story to fool them. Several young canine teenagers who were not very experienced in the world quickly fooled him. One of them looked at his head and said, "Are you a fox? Or... uh, a badger?"
"Badgers have round ears," said another boy.
Several teenagers secretly glanced at Lucian's ears and tail, and thought the color was very cute. Lucian smiled and said, "It's a cat."
The boy was not on guard and took him to the tribe. Along the way, several boys were very enthusiastic about Lucian - it could not be ruled out that it was due to appearance or race. Lucian always felt that two boys were eager to pull his tail.
Lucian kept smiling, but seemed a little unhappy.
"Is that your brother in your arms? Hasn't he learned how to transform yet? Or is he sick?" asked a young man who was a little too enthusiastic.
It seems that dogs prefer cats.
Lucian placed his white fingers on the white tiger cub's furry head and rubbed it. He raised the corners of his lips and said gently:
"No, this is my son."
Young man: …
Lucian could clearly sense that two of the boys looked quite disappointed.
Lucian accepted this well and hummed a song in his heart. He rubbed the top of Wade's head with the pads of his four fingers and felt very happy.
The young man's tribe lived in a small town. In addition to the dog tribe, there were several other tribes in the town. Lucian planned to buy some herbs here and leave.
He covered his long hair and cat ears with a tulle and selected the herbs in the market. Just as he put the grass into the basket, there was a noise in the market.
The noise did not sound like a riot, but rather like eager observation.
"... Thank you very much for healing my leg." The voice came from a middle-aged beastman, who seemed to be talking to the one beside him, "If you haven't found a new place to stay, just stay here with me, I will definitely..."
"Thank you very much. I will stay here for a few days until I find someone I need."
Lucian paused for a moment when he heard the first word. Then, he said to the beast vendor as usual, "Pay the bill."
He exchanged half of his silver bracelet for these herbs. But the vendor still stretched his neck, busy looking at the foreigner over there. Another vendor next to him said: "That knight of the tribe is really..."
The conversation over there was still going on. A young man's vigorous voice came over: "Dad, Pete and I are back from hunting!"
The middle-aged man who seemed to be the clan leader said with a smile: "You're back? What happened?"
The vendor came to his senses at this time, and said to Lucian: "These herbs are not worth so much, wait a minute, I will give you some change..."
“No need.” Lucian said.
The boy's voice was still lively: "Nothing happened, but I did meet a bard. He came from the east and bought some herbs in the city..."
"No, I can't take advantage of you." The beast vendor said honestly, "Wait a minute, I'll give you some herbs, or a crucible, believe me, you'll need it..."
"Bard poetry? What kind of poetry?" the patriarch asked.
"It's a cat-like beast, very beautiful..."
“Really, that’s not necessary.” Lucian said.
He smiled at the vendor and left with the basket of herbs. Half a block behind him, the boy continued, "... has beautiful gray hair and his clothes. He is right here..."
The boy turned around and saw that the place on the bustling street that originally belonged to Lucian was now empty.
"He was here just now, where is he?" The young man scratched his head, "Where else is he?"
"Forget it, it shouldn't be a big deal." The clan leader glanced at the direction the boy was looking at, not caring about the fact that the boy brought back a bard. He then looked at the knight of the clan beside him and said, "Bright, you said you sensed the aura you were looking for in the nearby mountains. What kind of aura was it? Maybe I can help?"
The blond-haired, blue-eyed young man from the tribe stood beside him, smiling slightly.
"Maybe not." He said leisurely.
…
Lucian was carrying a basket, holding the still sleeping little white tiger in his arms, and walked towards the outside of the lake.
He had a gloomy face and covered his face with a veil. There were two ways to leave the village, one was the way he came, but if he turned back, he would definitely run into the knights of the tribe.
The other road was a bridge over the river. Lucian walked onto the bridge, and after reaching the highest point step by step, he stopped.
White uniform with golden patterns.
One, two, three... Dozens of saints stood at the other end of the bridge. They had already formed a formation for him. Lucian stood still in silence. Behind him, the voice of the blond knight could be heard.
"Lucian, it's been a long time since we last met. Not only have you changed from a saint to a succubus, but now you've even turned into a cat and given birth to... a child?"
The man came from behind, and when he approached Lucian, his voice was actually a bit intimate and ambiguous. He hooked Lucian's long hair with his fingers and said, "Is this child born to you and a certain woman, or do you..."
"…born to Vader?"
Lucian turned around. He saw the blond Bright and the dozen saints behind him. There were also new saints rushing over here. Those saints were the elite among the elite, with golden lilies engraved on the corners of their robes.
The elite group came out in full force. This was premeditated.
"Are you here to arrest me?" Lucian tilted his head deliberately and asked.
"It is true that hunting you down is an important task for the Church now, but you are not that important in my task." Bright lowered his head and smiled, "Lucian, it is a pleasant surprise to meet you, but where that guy is, you will obviously be there too. What? He is not here, did he abandon you, or did you escape from him again?"
Bright obviously didn't know that the little white tiger sleeping in his arms was the current Wade.
"But it doesn't matter. We will have a long time to reminisce about the past." Bright said, "Do you want to go with me by yourself, or do you want to be purified here?"
Lucian lowered his head and said, "I'll go with you."
"You still remember the methods of the Holy See." Bright said softly, "Don't worry, we will have enough time to reminisce about the past. After that..."
He touched his chest, where the scar he hadn't removed began to itch again. Or perhaps, it had started to itch and growl since the moment he saw Lucian in the crowd.
Lucian did not comment. He lowered his eyelashes and held the white tiger in his arms, looking weak and ready to be slaughtered. When the two saints were about to approach him and tie his hands, Lucian suddenly attacked and attacked Bright with the light of the thunderstorm!
Bright frowned. He never expected that Lucian would actually attack at this time and fight him head-on. But he did not dare to underestimate Lucian's ability, so he dodged.
The same is true for other things.
And then at that moment...
A flash of white light appeared, and Lucian landed lightly on the ground and disappeared at the other end of the bridge. A saint reacted and said angrily: "It's just a holy light spell with sound..."
He was about to say something, but he found that Bright beside him had already chased Lucian away.
