The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess

Chapter 475 - 473: Simple, But Not That Simple

"We come from the Cat-man tribe of the Beastman Empire; Meow Blue and I ran away from the tribe to see the world."

"Who knew that as soon as we arrived on Dragon Island, we would be tricked by those nasty Dragon Island guides and sold to slave merchants."

Meow White and Meow Blue spoke over each other, eagerly recounting their adventures.

They weren’t siblings nor claimed to be a couple; they were two children adopted by the Cat-man tribe Shaman, very close since childhood.

Although Meow White is male, overall, whether it’s in terms of voice, appearance, or body shape, he is cuter and more feminine than the female Meow Blue.

Initially, Hilia thought they were two cat girls, it was Rose who pointed out that one was male and the other female.

Under the Shaman’s guidance, they were curious about everything outside the tribe.

So on their 14th birthday, after receiving the Shaman’s blessing, the two of them planned together, sneaked out of the tribe, bypassed the Star Spirit Forbidden Land around the Northern Alliance, then traveled south all the way to Dragon Island, and almost got sold.

Hilia tapped the table, "How did you manage to bypass the Northern Alliance, cross through Ista, pass by the Lion Heart Kingdom, and finally enter the Blue Dragon Empire from the Lion Heart Kingdom? Those other empires were fine, but why were you sold as soon as you arrived in the Blue Dragon Empire?"

Meow Blue puffed up angrily, "The people of the Blue Dragon Empire are too bad, they actually deceived us!"

Hilia was surprised, "Did you not get tricked in the Northern Alliance, Ista, and Lion Heart?"

Meow White said, "Of course, but smart me saw through everything early and didn’t let them succeed!"

"Then why did it work here?"

"Accident, it must have been an accident!"

Hilia pondered, "Maybe it wasn’t an accident."

The two cat girls immediately perked up their ears.

Hilia said, "The Tower of Descent—which excels at manipulating people’s hearts—is mainly active in the Blue Dragon Empire. You two were too weak to resist temptation and got tricked by them."

Meow White immediately said, "Yes, yes, that’s it!"

Meow Blue tilted her head, "Didn’t Meow White say to Meow Blue, you hate slaves the most, so you pretended to be bewitched, got caught with Meow Blue, and planned to make a move when the time was right?"

"Yes, that’s right too." Meow White said, a bit sheepishly.

Hilia probably saw what was happening but didn’t expose Meow White’s lie.

She pondered for a moment, feeling that the intentions of these two cat girls might not be that simple.

Did they really just want to see the outside world and travel all the way to Dragon Island?

Hilia asked, "When is your birthday blessing?"

Meow Blue immediately raised her hand, "It’s November 11th! Isn’t that amazing? They’re all ones, representing Meow White and Meow Blue!"

November 11th?

Hilia checked today’s date.

December 5th.

So they spent less than a month traveling from the Beastman Empire to the Northern Alliance, then to Ista, Lion Heart, and finally arriving in the Blue Dragon Empire, even crossing the narrow land of the Blue Dragon Empire to Dragon Island.

Rose clicked his tongue, "It’s like traveling from Vladivostok across China and the Middle East to South Africa in just under a month, not counting the time they were captured. These two cat girls can really run."

"Where is Vladivostok?" Hilia asked, puzzled.

"It’s a place name from a thousand years ago, already obliterated during the Era of Calamity," Rose replied casually.

"Oh."

Hilia didn’t doubt him.

She didn’t know about Vladivostok but knew the distance from the Beastman Empire to the Blue Dragon Empire was far.

If it was for fun, there was no way they would have traveled this long deliberately.

These two cat girls must be hiding something.

However, Hilia didn’t mind.

Their goals didn’t conflict with hers. Whatever they wanted to do, it certainly wouldn’t involve snatching materials from her, right?

After rescuing them, having a meal and learning about their experiences incidentally, the encounter would be over.

Just a chance meeting.

Soon, food was brought out. The two cat girls’ eyes lit up, and they devoured the food at a speed completely disproportionate to their size, quickly wiping everything out like a whirlwind.

Meow Blue patted her belly and burped, while Meow White earnestly said, "Benefactor, please allow us to serve you. We are willing to work for you for a month; we’ll do whatever you want us to!"

Hilia waved her hand, "You’re too weak."

Meow Blue immediately sat up straight, "Meow White isn’t weak, he’s very powerful!"

"If he’s so powerful, how did he get caught?"

"I, I..."

Meow White quickly said, "Benefactor, even though we’re weak, and can’t help much in battle, we can help you carry things!"

Meow Blue nodded repeatedly, "Right, Meow Blue can also do housework, cleaning, wiping tables, cooking—everything."

Meow White: "Except for cooking, you can burn the roast to a crisp."

"Hmph, stupid Meow White, I’m ignoring you now."

"..."

Hilia said speechlessly, "Carrying things isn’t needed; I don’t have much stuff. As for housework, I’m on a trip, staying in inns which are cleaned by the inn’s staff."

As she spoke, Hilia stood up, "Alright, once you’ve eaten, you should leave. You must have your own objectives in the Blue Dragon Empire, go tend to your affairs. I don’t have time to take you two around. I suggest you buy some clothes with hoods to cover your ears and tails; this will help you avoid being targeted by slave traders."

Sensing the two attempting to follow her, Hilia turned back and warned, "If you follow me again, you’ll end up like that woman before."

The two stopped immediately.

After Hilia left and sensed they were no longer following, she sighed in relief.

After all, you can’t always be soft; sometimes you need to be assertive to deter others.

Having casually taken down a slave den, Hilia was in a good mood. Humming a minstrel’s tune, she bought a map and headed towards the Mage Guild.

Whenever she arrived in a city, she would visit both the Mage Guild and the Mercenary Guild and inquire about the local black market to see if it had any materials she needed.

After gathering up the materials, she’d then consider exploring the exotic landscapes.

While Hilia was heading to the Mage Guild, the dismantled slave den attracted an investigation team from the Blue Dragon Empire.

A youth clad in a Mage Robe from the Blue Dragon Magic Academy leaned lazily against the courtyard’s back door, watching the investigation team as they performed an autopsy on Galdon.

A moment later, an investigator approached respectfully and said, "Sir Laine, we’ve ascertained the details. A mysterious Ice Mage was involved, based on the magical fluctuations left from the battle, there was only this one Ice Mage."

"The battle with Mister Galdon was intense; however, barely any fire magic power remains on site. Galdon appears to have been one-sidedly beaten. As for the other guards in the manor, they were all killed in one blow by an ice spell, tentatively determined to be a first-grade ice spell, [Ice Blade]."

The young man referred to as Laine yawned, rubbed his sleep-deprived eyes, and said, "Got it, keep investigating."

His subordinate paused, "Seems there’s not much left to investigate."

Laine replied, irritated, "Why are you in such a hurry to finish investigating? What about the aftermath of the battle? Is that all investigated too?"

"All investigated."

"..."
