Stranger, you have some understanding of "cat" and "transformation".
"She" reminded gently, and Shade Cat nodded, and then said to the god who looked extremely tall:
"Preparations completed, Moonlight Traveler wishes to board the ship again."
The god looked at the two cats, smiled and continued to tell the story of the journey:
"The traveler who turned into a cat then walked onto the dock, and this time, the boatman in a black robe did not stop him. The boat left the dock, and the boundless water seemed to have no other shore at all. You don't know what is under the dark water, nor do you know where the boatman will take you. Maybe this is a conspiracy, maybe a giant beast is spying on your flesh and blood under the water, but this is adventure, this is travel. The rocking boat is your feet, and the rippling water is another kind of soil. Even if you don't know where the road ahead is, you are still moving forward."
"It sounds like this isn't a lake or a river, it sounds like this is an ocean."
Shad, who had turned into a cat, said that Mia, who was lying in front of him, was trying to rub against him, and he had to distract himself to stop the cat's enthusiasm.
"But the good news is, travelers, the boatman tells you that it will take a whole day to reach the other side, and you can only reach the shore at dawn on the third day. Therefore, you don't have to travel long distances for the rest of the second day of your journey."
The old knight heaved a sigh of relief, as his character "Old Horse" had the worst stamina.
"Since the Moonlight Traveler boarded the ship in this form, he could not return to his original form before the ship docked."
The god smiled again and pointed at Shad. Shad immediately felt some irresistible powerful force being exerted on him.
Outsider, the duration of the potion "Cat in a Bottle" has been increased.
Stranger, you have some insights into "cats".
"It looks like you'll always be like this, but at least this look is better than being a man."
The witch at the side even started to joke. The silver cat, who had finally pushed Mia away, said to her unhappily:
"Ma'am, let's be honest, is my human form really unattractive?"
He was very confident in the charm that would increase after the soul gradually influenced his body. Sure enough, the young witch pursed her lips and did not say anything against her will. Instead, she patted the maid who was laughing at the side. The old knight and the bard pretended not to see this scene.
"It's noon now. You've had lunch on the boat. So what's going to happen this afternoon?"
The god motioned for the five to draw cards. At this time, the sound of rushing water in the foggy forest was getting louder and louder, and at the same time, the humidity in the surrounding air was also increasing.
The witch looked at the silver cat. Shade the cat was being held by Little Mia. The cat was very docile at the moment, but a little too enthusiastic:
"Mr. Dika Enriquez, you come this time."
The cat said to the bard, so the bard nodded through gritted teeth and reached out to draw a card. On the card was a glass bottle filled with colorful smoke.
"In the afternoon, the parrot asked the boatman for a fishing rod and tried to fish for dinner tonight. The parrot was very lucky and caught a colorful bottle on the first cast. Before the travelers could make a judgment, the cork popped open, and in the gushing colorful smoke, a pale blue transparent bald giant appeared."
Shen took out a bottle that matched the card from her worn backpack. She uncorked the bottle and placed it next to the deck of cards in the middle of the crowd.
As the colorful dreamy smoke poured out, a pale blue transparent giant appeared in front of everyone with a laugh. His upper body was wearing a sleeveless jacket with no buttons buttoned, but it was only the upper body, and the lower body was connected to the glass bottle in the form of mist.
The giant turned his back to the god, looked at the four people and two cats around him, then opened his arms and said enthusiastically:
"Travelers, you saved me. Please allow me to repay your kindness. Make me three wishes, and I will fulfill them for you, and I will be free!"
The old knight and the bard looked at the giant in front of them in surprise. The witch frowned slightly. Although she had never heard of this, she was at least cautious:
"This is some kind of relic. When I was an apprentice, my teacher told me that I need to be very careful when making wishes, especially when using relics. I think it's best not to make wishes that don't specify the price."
The cat-like Shade held Mia down with one paw, asking her to be quiet. The black cat's eyes looked at the giant spirit that was smiling at them, and Shade felt a familiar power:
"Vision Demon!"
The azure mist seen by the naked eye turned black as the perspective gradually became arc-shaped. Countless screaming souls formed the black mist, and in the seemingly empty bottle, there were clearly countless tiny souls crowded together, desperately beating the bottle.
"The power of the devil."
Shade said that even the ordinary old knights and bards immediately gave up the idea of making a wish. No matter which era it is, the reputation of demons is the same.
"Oh, sir, please don't accuse me."
The giant heard Shade's warning and leaned towards him. The face was getting closer and closer to Shade, and the corners of his smiling face were curled up more and more:
"What do you wish for?"
"Meow!"
Before the silver cat could react, Mia, who had been lying next to Shade and rubbing against him, suddenly stood up and shouted at the giant. Shade was definitely not mistaken, when Mia opened her mouth and "roared", a faint spark actually flew out.
"Hmm? Isn't it true that Mia's tail is the only one that can emit flames?"
While Shad was puzzled, the blue giant that was leaning over actually straightened up and moved away from them after the cat's "roar".
It looked at Mia suspiciously, not understanding what this cat-like thing was. But since there was danger, and it seemed like it was communicating with these humans and cats through a barrier, it decided to be more cautious:
"Why are you so fierce? Do I look like a bad guy?"
It lost interest all of a sudden, and its expression was no longer the same. It waved its hands casually at the two cats standing together, signaling them to hurry up:
"If you don't make a wish, I can't go back. Just make a wish, don't change reality, don't seek material things, don't pursue change, and then let me go back and wait for another greedy guy. You clearly have the mark of greed and gluttony, but you are so cautious, it's really strange."
After the giant finished speaking, the god spoke:
"The frightened djinn in the bottle decided to solve the matter with a wish. Instead of setting a trap, it asked the travelers to make a wish as soon as possible. So, what are you going to do?"
The blue giant seemed to not hear the voice of the god at all, and his expression did not change at all. Since the god had guaranteed that it would not play tricks, this wish turned from a danger into an opportunity.
"Who of you wants to give it a try?"
The silver cat asked his companions, the devil meant to ask for information, but what he wanted to know, the devil could not give him.
The witch glanced at her maid, pursed her lips and thought. The bard shook his head quickly, and the old knight was actually a little tempted, but he was waiting for the noble witch to make a decision first.
"Where are the people we are looking for who have lost their trace?"
The witch asked, and the old knight raised his head and looked at the giant, who nodded:
"This is simple. The parrot's lost childhood lover has now become the count's wife, but she still misses the promise made in her childhood."
"ah?"
The bard was stunned. He had never thought that this was related to him. He tried desperately to recall the past, and then his surprised expression gradually turned into sadness, until tears flowed down his cheeks without knowing when:
"She is married?"
"This horse's family, which he hasn't seen for a long time, died of plague and war. But if you are willing to pay the price, you can reunite with them at the end of this journey."
The old knight was truly stunned. He didn't expect to get such an answer on his way home.
"The unicorn and the woman the dog was looking for also got lost during the journey. But she is not dead yet. If you are lucky enough, you will definitely meet her later in your journey. But whether you can take her away depends on whether you are willing to sacrifice yourself."
The witch held her maid's hand tightly, but looked relieved:
"As long as I'm alive."
"As for these two cats."
The blue giant looked at Shade again:
"What one wants to find is right beside you, and what the other one wants to find... well..."
It showed a puzzled expression, and hesitated for a moment before giving a hint:
"The demigod witch you are looking for is in the snowy mountains on your journey. Next, head towards the mountains and you will see her."
It did not give the four people and the cat a chance to ask questions, and after speaking, it retreated into the bottle. The bottle filled with colorful mist was recovered by the gods, and the five travelers did not talk to each other.
Although what happened the next afternoon was not very dangerous for some reason, the impact it had on everyone was far greater than encountering a candy house or a Cyclops.
But the journey does not stop because of their thoughts. The campfire crackles, and the gods continue to tell the night story by the campfire:
"The words of the wishing djinn in the bottle made the travelers ponder. Perhaps what you want to pursue can really be obtained on this journey. But when you really meet them, can you really get them?"
The dusty traveler paused deliberately, then continued:
"When night falls, the journey on the ship has entered the second half. Although the silver moon is still shining on you, due to the special circumstances, something is bound to happen tonight. The travelers decided to send someone to keep watch until dawn. But keeping watch means no rest, which will reduce the physical and mental strength of the third day's journey. What will you decide?"
