The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 49: The Phantom of the Black Cat (Part 1)

At first glance, Jonah didn't recognize what was the huge object blocking the sunlight at the door, until the small ball at the top of the composted and elastic object opened his mouth and said, "What happened here? Yes. Many witnesses told me that there was a murder, or a massacre. But I only saw a few suspicious-looking people sitting in an empty tavern drinking tea. One more thing, this tea is really fragrant. "

"It depends on whether you choose a simple conversation or a complex statement, Archon." Elliott bent slightly on the unicorn's back to greet the visitors.

"Then you need to say, Brother Ellie?" The fat man laughed, "The simpler the better. It's better to be as simple as I don't have to explain anything to the newly born widow." With that, he walked into the teahouse and told The crowd nodded politely, picked up the teapot on the small folding table, shook it, sighed, raised the pot aloft, poured the last drop of moongrass tea into their mouths, wiped their mouths, and sat down on the spot. , Patted belly contentedly.

Jonah has never seen such a fat man.

The Archon of Sucasa Canyon wears red bloomers, black boots with spurs, and loose navy blue cloak-Jonah thinks that the cloth used in that cloak is enough to make a uniform for everyone in the pitchfork team-small The small deformed head was trapped in the fat overflowing neck fossa, and he wore a white straw hat with woven flowers and a pink bow tie on the top hat.

He is sitting on the ground like a pile of beef for sale under a rain-proof cloth. Jonah keeps measuring the ratio of his waist to his height, guessing how heavy the visitors are. Geometry and mathematics tell the astrologer apprentice this. People of this size can’t support their weight with their legs unless their bones are as strong as steel — or their body is as light as bread.

"Why, buddy Toba." The archon's eyes lit up, and Master Chong's head waved his chubby right hand.

"Hi, girl." Toba's eyes lit up as well, and the expression that had been lost for a long time because of the mysterious proprietress swept away, and he waved in excitement.

"Cough cough, let me introduce you." The Rose Knight cleared his throat, and glanced at Jonah and Sibi, who were demented. Miss Rose Rose, an elegant noble of St. Boren and protector of the Western Continent Trade Road. Miss Rose, allow me to introduce Lord Jonah, the astrologer; Miss Sybi, the archer."

"Call me Rose." The consul smiled with a good temper.

"Fortunately, Miss Rose..." Jonah felt that his outlook on life was constantly being subverted in the past two days. But after knowing the **** of the consul, the pink bow tie on her straw hat no longer looked so abrupt—it was obviously a bow.

"Call me Rose." The archon nodded with a smile.

Sibi stab Jona's waist with an elbow, and whispered in his ear: "Do you believe she is a woman?" Long Ji immediately looked at him with warning eyes, Xibi stuck out her tongue, she didn't dare to speak anymore. .

"Miss Rose, thank you for your great cooperation in the previous missions. Miss Sibi rarely participates in high-level missions, so she did not have the opportunity to meet with you. Your Excellency Jona has just joined our team and he is from St. Boren. "Elliott introduced.

"The astrologer of St. Boren?" Rose Rose opened her eyes wide, and everyone could barely see the astrological gaze shooting out of the fat on her face, "The astrological tower on the red clay plain, I know where it is. My family is in Redstone Fort.-used to be."

"Yes, Miss Rose. Redstone Castle has fallen. I'm sorry." Jonah lowered his eyes.

"Call me Rose." The consul said, "The newly enthroned Her Majesty Queen Wenger IV, who is also my cousin, retreated from St. Boren to Bazelard in advance, and is now with the Bazelard royal family. We were besieged together in Mortima Fortress. As long as Wenger is here, St. Boren will be there. Don't worry, young man. The spirit of Redstone Fort is immortal."

Jonah looked up at Rose Rose’s ugly face, ashamed of the rude inner activity of Miss Archon.

"However, the liaison offices of the five major guilds did not move south. They went north and took refuge in the Republic of Ebenezer. It is basically impossible to contact them, unless a selfless third-level spatial magician can help." The consul said.

"Thank you for your kindness." Jonah said politely.

"Sister! Just now, I had a fight with Zavi’s dragoons. Someone died. Then the dragoons left. The dead were gone. The tavern was gone. The lady boss was gone. Nothing. That's it. One thing, that, do you understand?" Toba shouted anxiously from the side.

"I don't understand." Rose Rose moved his huge body, turning his head as far as possible to see Toba's face.

"I don't understand..." The head of the room bent down his sturdy neck in shame.

"Miss Ross, Zavi’s dragoons are looking for missing partners. Everyone in the tavern is a bargaining chip for the invaders in exchange for news. I am ashamed for not saving more lives. But when the proprietress of the tavern appeared, Everything is different, I believe this name will make you look relaxed and happy when explaining the incident to the widows." Elliott smiled.

"Of course, one name is enough, man Cavaliers." The Archon nodded.

"I think this tavern called'Cutting Board' is actually the legendary stray coffee shop'Black Cat'." The Rose Knight pursed his mouth, showing a strange expression.

Ross? Rose took off his white straw hat, revealed a short blond hair, and opened his mouth wide: "Man, you mean the proprietress of the tavern is the legendary..."

"Mrs. Duran!" Suddenly Sibi jumped up, holding his red cheeks in both hands, his green eyes widened: "It's Mrs. Duran! I should have thought of it! Oh my God, Mrs. Duran really did. Exist!" She ran in the empty tavern uncontrollably, screaming with excitement of unknown meaning.

Over there, Toba also opened his mouth, and the muscular Bazellar peasant danced his hands and feet like a baby, as if to do something without knowing what to do.

Jonah and Long Ji looked at each other suspiciously.

"Bazelaar’s fairy tale." The Rose Knight seemed to have anticipated the reaction of the two locals, and explained with a small smile: "To be precise, it’s a bedtime story. The Bazelars will Tell your children that there is a stray cafe called "Black Cat" in the world, which is randomly opened in every corner of the mainland. Only good obedient children can open its door. The owner of "Black Cat", Mrs. Duran, will Various faces appear, providing the most delicious cakes and drinks for good children. If the child recognizes Mrs. Duran and points to her and shouts her name out loud, the "black cat" will disappear. Before it disappears, Mrs. Duran There will be a pot of hot tea with magical power. After drinking the tea, the child can fly into the sky, over the clouds, step on the stars, and go to the god’s home as a guest."

Jonah opened his eyes.

"What's more wonderful," Rose Rose looked at the teapot in his hand with a fascinating expression, and added, "'Black Cat' only allows good children to taste the real delicacy, and refuses all bad things from happening. . If the lady boss you just met is really Madame Duran, then I dare to affirm that all the bloodshed that happened here does not exist, or that it will not exist soon."

"What?" Toba asked stiffly.

"Did I fly? I felt lighter when I was drinking tea just now. Did I fly? Sister Long Ji, do you think I'm going to fly into the sky? Oh! Did you call Mrs. Duran's name? Did you call Mrs. Duran's name? Ellie, did you call Mrs. Duran's name? Did you call it, right?" Sibi hugged the unicorn His legs looked expectantly at the Rose Knight, and he asked a series of questions at an almost inaudible rate.

"Uh, I don't think so," Elliott replied.

With a plop, the woman in green lay down on the ground, sighing, "What a fuck! A chance you won't see in a lifetime!"

"What?" Toba asked with a dull look.

Long Ji silently held her forehead.
