Chapter 1594

【Outlander, you have gained insight into "cats" and "transformation."】

"She" reminded him gently, and Xia De the cat nodded, then said to the god who looked incomparably tall:

"Preparation complete, the traveler under the moon wants to board the boat again."

The god looked at the two cats and smiled as he continued to tell the story of the journey:

"The traveler who had turned into a cat then stepped onto the pier, and this time, the boatman in the black robe did not stop him. The boat left the pier, and the boundless water surface seemed to have no other shore at all. You do not know what is under the pitch-black water, nor do you know where the boatman is going to take you. Perhaps this is a conspiracy, perhaps a giant beast is peering at your flesh and blood under the water, but this is adventure, this is travel. The swaying boat is your feet, and the rippling water surface is an alternative soil; even if you do not know where the road ahead lies, you are still constantly moving forward."

"It sounds like this is not a lake or a river, but the ocean."

Xia De, who had turned into a cat, said, while Mia, who was lying in front of him, was trying hard to rub against him; he had to be distracted to block the cat's enthusiasm.

"But the good news is, travelers, the boatman tells you that reaching the other shore will take a full day, and you will only be able to dock when the dawn of the third day arrives. Therefore, for the rest of the second day of the journey, you do not need to trek long distances anymore."

The old knight breathed a sigh of relief; his character "Old Horse" had the worst stamina.

"And since the traveler under the moon has boarded the boat in this guise, he cannot return to his original form before the boat docks."

The god said with a smile again, reaching out to point at Xia De, and Xia De immediately felt a certain powerful force that could not be refused being applied to him.

【Outlander, the duration of the potion "Cat in a Bottle" has been enhanced.】

【Outlander, you have gained insight into "cats."】

"It seems you will have to stay like this for a while, but this appearance is at least better than a man's."

The witch on the side even started to joke, and the silver cat, who had finally managed to push Mia away a little, said to her with great annoyance:

"Madam, let's be honest, is my human form really unattractive?"

He was very confident in the charm that had increased after his body was gradually influenced by his soul; sure enough, the young witch pursed her lips and did not say anything insincere, but instead patted the maid who was snickering on the side. As for the old knight and the bard, they both pretended not to see this scene.

"Time has reached noon, you had lunch on the boat, so what will happen this afternoon?"

The god signaled for the five people to draw cards; at this time, the sound of water in the misty 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, and Xia De the cat was being leaned against by Little Mia; the cat's behavior at this time was actually very docile, just a bit too enthusiastic:

"Mr. Dika Enrikes, you go this time."

The cat said to the bard, so the bard gritted his teeth and nodded, reaching out to draw a card; on the card face was a glass bottle containing colorful mist.

"In the afternoon, the parrot asked the boatman for a fishing rod and tried to fish, preparing for tonight's dinner. The parrot, who was very lucky, obtained a colorful bottle on the first cast. Before the travelers could make a judgment, the bottle cork popped open, and in the colorful mist that poured out, appeared a light blue, transparent, bald genie."

The god actually took out a bottle identical to the one on the card face from the dilapidated backpack beside him. He opened the cork and placed it next to the deck of cards in the center of the group.

Accompanied by the colorful, dreamlike mist pouring out, the light blue, transparent genie appeared before everyone, laughing ha-ha. His upper body wore a sleeveless vest with the buttons undone, but he only had an upper body; his lower body was connected to the glass bottle in the state of clouds and mist.

The genie turned his back to the god, looked at the four people and two cats around him, then opened his arms and said enthusiastically:

"Travelers, it is you who saved me, please allow me to repay your kindness. Make three wishes to me, and I will realize them for you, and I will thus obtain freedom!"

The old knight and the bard both looked at the genie in front of them in surprise; the witch frowned slightly, although she had never heard of what this was, at least she was very cautious:

"This is some kind of relic. When I was an apprentice, my teacher told me that wishing requires great caution, especially when using relics to make wishes. For this kind of wish where the price is not stated, I think it is best not to touch it."

Xia De in cat form pressed one paw on Mia, making her behave. The black cat eyes sized up the genie who was looking at them with a smile, and Xia De felt a familiar power:

"Demon of Vision!"

The azure clouds and mist seen by the naked eye transformed into black in a perspective that was gradually gaining a strange curvature. Countless screaming souls constituted that black mist, and in the bottle that appeared empty, there were clearly countless tiny souls squeezed together, desperately beating against the bottle body.

"The power of a demon."

Xia De said, and even the old knight and the bard, who were just ordinary people, immediately dismissed the idea of making a wish. No matter which era it was, the reputation of demons was equally terrible.

"Oh, sir, you must not wrongly accuse me so casually."

The genie heard Xia De's warning, so he leaned toward Xia De. That face was getting closer and closer to Xia De, and at the same time, on the smiling face, the arc of the corners of the mouth curling toward the sides was also getting larger and larger:

"You, what wish do you have?"

"Meow!"

Before the silver cat could make any reaction, it was Mia, who was docilely lying beside Xia De and rubbing against him, who stood up abruptly and meowed at the genie. Xia De absolutely did not see wrong; in the mouth that Little Mia opened when she "roared," faint sparks actually shot out.

"Hmm? Doesn't Mia only have sparks coming out of her tail?"

While Xia De was puzzled, the blue genie who was leaning over actually straightened his waist and moved away from them under the cat's "roar."

It looked at Mia suspiciously, not understanding what this thing that looked like a cat actually was. But since there was danger, and it seemed to be communicating with these humans and cats as if separated by a layer of barrier, it decided it was better to be cautious:

"Why be so fierce? Do I look very much like a bad person?"

It lost interest all of a sudden, and the expression on its face was no longer maintained. 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 marks of greed and gluttony on you, yet you are so cautious, it's really strange."

As the genie's voice fell, the god spoke:

"The genie in the bottle, who was intimidated, decided to use a wish to resolve this matter. It did not set a trap, but let the travelers make a wish as soon as possible. So, what are you going to do?"

The blue genie seemed unable to hear the god's voice at all, and its expression did not change at all. And since there was a god guaranteeing that it would not play tricks, this wish turned from a danger into an opportunity.

"Who among you wants to try?"

The silver cat asked his companions; the demon's meaning was to ask for information, but the demon couldn't give him what he wanted to know.

The witch glanced at her maid and pursed her lips in thought. The bard shook his head quickly, and the old knight was actually somewhat moved, 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 tracks?"

The witch asked, and the old knight raised his head to look at the genie, who nodded:

"This is simple. The parrot's lost childhood lover has now become a countess, but she still misses that childhood promise."

"Ah?"

The bard was taken aback, not expecting this to actually have anything to do with him. He desperately recalled the past, and then the surprised expression gradually became sorrowful, until tears flowed down his cheeks before he knew it:

"She is already married?"

"This horse's family, whom it hasn't seen for a long time, died long ago in plague and war. But if you are willing to pay the price, you can still be reunited with them in the follow-up of this journey."

The old knight was truly stunned there, not expecting to get such an answer on the way home.

"The woman that this unicorn and this dog are looking for is also lost on the journey. But she is not dead yet; if you are lucky enough, you will definitely be able to meet her in the follow-up of the journey. But whether you can take her away depends on whether you are willing to sacrifice."

The witch held her maid's hand tightly, but looked relieved:

"As long as she is still alive, that's fine."

"As for these two cats."

The blue genie looked at Xia De again:

"The one you want to find is right beside you, and the other one you want to find... um..."

It showed a puzzled expression, hesitated for a moment before giving a hint:

"The demigod witch you are looking for is in the snowy mountains on the journey. Next, choose to set off toward the mountains, and you will be able to see her."

It didn't give the four people and one cat a chance to ask questions, and after speaking, it shrank back into the bottle. The bottle filled with colorful clouds and mist was recovered by the god, and the five travelers did not talk to each other.

Although the events of the afternoon of the second day were not very dangerous due to certain reasons, the impact on everyone was far greater than encountering a candy house or encountering a Cyclops.

But the journey would not stop because of their contemplation; the campfire crackled, and the god continued the little story of the night by the campfire:

"The words of the genie in the bottle who granted wishes made the travelers fall into thought. Perhaps what you want to pursue can really be obtained on this journey. But when you really meet them, can you really obtain them?"

The dusty traveler left a deliberate pause, then continued:

"As night fell, the journey on the boat also entered the second half. Although the silver moon still shines on you, because of the special environment, something will definitely happen tonight. The travelers decided to send someone to keep watch until dawn. But keeping watch means not being able to rest, which will reduce the stamina and mental strength of the third day's journey. You, how will you decide?"
