Chapter 38
By this point, Su Nan had realized that the strange cat in front of him was most likely the magical creature that the Starfire Sect had been pursuing. However, the cat’s sudden words still took him by surprise.
Among magical creatures, there were some whose intelligence was comparable to humans, even surpassing them. But this didn’t mean that these magical creatures could communicate with humans normally.
Take the Stealthy Dragon for example. As its life level increased, one day its intelligence would reach a level comparable to humans, or even higher. However, it still wouldn’t speak the human language, only “Lizard Tongue.” Maybe after awakening its dragon bloodline, it would naturally master Dragon Language.
But unless someone patiently taught it to learn the human language, it was almost impossible for a Stealthy Dragon to speak human words.
Therefore, seeing a cat speak human words, Su Nan was still quite surprised. Teaching a cat to master the human language wasn’t an easy task.
“Meow, why aren’t you paying attention to me?”
Seeing Su Nan staring at her in silence, the little cat asked again in a serious tone. Its voice was childish, like that of a seven or eight-year-old girl, and it sounded as pleasant and clear as flowing mountain spring water.
Coming back to his senses, Su Nan said calmly, “Sorry, I was so captivated by how beautiful you are, I got a bit lost in thought.”
“Meow, really? Thank you for the compliment.”
The little cat’s eyes crinkled with happiness, its expression full of life.“My name is Su Nan, what’s your name?”
“My name is Amy.”
“How did Amy get into the room?”
“Just like this.”
Amy gracefully leaped forward, disappearing into thin air. When she reappeared, she was on the other side of the room, several meters away.
“Spatial Teleportation!”
Su Nan’s eyes widened in shock.
In that moment, he had actually sensed spatial fluctuations. This strange little cat actually possessed the rare ability of Spatial Teleportation!
Su Nan finally understood why the Starfire Sect couldn’t catch this little cat. While the Stealthy Dragon’s ability to shift between reality and illusion could also allow it to traverse the void, the distance it could travel ultimately depended on its own speed.
But Spatial Teleportation could instantly move within a certain range, regardless of distance or obstacles. The range could be hundreds of meters at the least and several kilometers at the most.
For a knight, this ability was practically an unbeatable bug. Even Su Nan, before learning the Fourth-Ring Spell “Dimensional Anchor,” was also helpless against abilities like Spatial Teleportation.
A cat that possessed Spatial Teleportation and could speak human words, what kind of creature was this little thing?
Su Nan became even more curious.
Amy didn’t seem to know how to refuse. She answered all his questions, even those involving her own abilities, without any hesitation. There was a kind of innocent beauty in her intelligence.
Su Nan simply crouched down, trying to show a gentle expression, and continued to ask, “Amy, why did you come here?”
Amy jumped up and landed back in front of Su Nan.
“Meow, I sensed energy particle fluctuations here, so I came to take a look.”
As she spoke, Amy carefully examined Su Nan, her eyes widening slightly.
“You have very strong energy particles. You’re a Wizard Apprentice meow!”
Su Nan raised an eyebrow, “You know about Wizard Apprentices?”
“Of course, my master told me. My master is a very powerful Wizard.”
The little cat held her head high, her voice filled with a strong sense of pride.
“What’s your master’s name?”
Although it felt very strange to be talking to a cat, Su Nan patiently asked.
“My master’s name is Master.” Amy tilted her head in confusion.
“Where’s your master?”
“Master…”
Amy’s mood suddenly dropped.
“Master is gone.”
“I took a nap, and when I woke up, I found Master was gone. Then a bunch of bad guys broke in, searching everywhere and trying to catch me. Luckily, I was quick and escaped.”
“That’s quite unfortunate.”
Su Nan reached out and stroked Amy’s back, feeling the softness of her fur while thinking to himself. Based on Amy’s words, the place she was from was most likely a Wizard’s dwelling. That Wizard had disappeared for some unknown reason, and then the Starfire Sect had found the place and taken things from it.
Thinking about it, Su Nan couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. Those things were wasted on the Starfire Sect people. They couldn’t use them, but if they were all his, he would definitely be able to gain a lot.
“Then why did those bad guys keep chasing you?”
It seemed like she hadn’t been petted for a long time. Amy enjoyed it, closing her eyes slightly. She didn’t even realize how Su Nan knew she was being chased by bad guys, and answered without thinking, “I was angry that they stole Master’s things, so I followed them into their place, wanting to get Master’s things back. But I was too nervous and took the wrong thing. Then those bad guys kept chasing me, wanting to get the thing back.”
“What did you take?” Su Nan asked instinctively.
Amy stretched out her furry paw and patted the floor. Instantly, a bead the size of an egg appeared out of thin air.
Su Nan keenly sensed that the moment the bead appeared, the golden bell hanging around Amy’s neck emitted extremely subtle energy particle fluctuations.
Clearly, that wasn’t an ordinary bell, but a spatial magic item.
Su Nan couldn’t help but sigh. As a Second-Rank Wizard Apprentice, he still didn’t have any spatial magic items. Compared to this cat, he was doing worse.
And the more he thought about it, the more curious he became about Amy’s master. Someone who could nurture a magical creature like Amy couldn’t be weak. Maybe they were a powerful, official Wizard.
It was just unknown how they had managed to advance to the level of a Wizard on the current Starlight Continent.
While thinking, Su Nan looked at the bead. Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn’t a bead, but a translucent, yellowish amber, perfectly round and smooth. Inside, there was a drop of blood?
“Can I take a look?” Su Nan pointed at the amber and asked Amy.
Amy nodded readily, “No problem, but be careful meow, this thing is a bit strange.”
Su Nan nodded and coated his palm with a layer of energy particles before carefully picking up the amber.
After pausing for a moment, confirming that there were no abnormalities, Su Nan quickly put the amber into the Magic Cube, using his body as a shield, and then checked the information.
At first glance, he was surprised.
“Divine Blood Amber, Divine Blood content 0.05 milliliters. Carrying it can increase the attraction to energy particles, but it has a certain degree of mental pollution. Long-term, close contact can lead to changes in thinking and cognition, causing a strong, fanatical belief in the source of the Divine Blood.”
