Even after a long time passed, there was still no reaction from the crystal stone . The man that was standing on the side had long lost all hope for the recovery of Elvis’s magic power . So when he saw this scene, he did not have any unexpected reactions . He merely looked at Elvis, before turning his eyes away .
Elvis looked at the unchanging crystal stone, as the hope in his heart once again turned into disappointment . Although this kind of situation also happened in previous years, he never gave up hope . Elvis released his hand from the crystal stone . The hand inside his sleeve clenched tightly, and his fingertips broke into the delicate flesh of the center of his palm, but his face did not show any expressions . He merely lowered his azure eyes slightly, hiding the lost look inside his eyes . Holding Li Luo, he slowly walked down from the high platform .
The people in the public square were almost gone as Elvis took the test, leaving only two or three ordinary kittens . When Elvis finished the test, the kittens had long since disappeared .
Seeing that all of the youths had been tested, the man once again covered the crystal stone with the black cloth curtain . After that, he did not stop and left the square directly .
The public square was immediately restored to its original spacious and empty appearance, and quietly waited for the next opening . As a result, no one found out that on the top of crystal stone covered with the black cloth curtain, a faint bright yellow light suddenly emerged, but these rays of light soon disappeared like a wisp of smoke .
“It was just raining yesterday . There must be a lot of fresh mushrooms in the woods outside the city . Grandma and your Aunt Mela will be going out of the city to pick up some mushrooms . Go to the kitchen for your lunch, you only need to warm it up . Grandma also made some pastries and placed them there to eat . Wait for me to come back in the evening, I’ll cook you some mushroom soup . ” Vicia said to Elvis that held a cat toy in the shape of stick and rolled it around, as he teased the little white cat with short legs on the ground . Vicia’s arm was holding a bamboo basket, as she sat in the living room with a smile on her face .
“Okay, Grandma . ” Elvis turned his head and waved his hand towards Vicia, with a cheerful smile on his face . “Be careful on the road, and come back early . ”
Vicia nodded, she stood up and walked to the closed door, before quickly going out .
Elvis lowered his head and shook the stick again to tease the cat, but he saw the little cat that was originally running around and from time to time and stretch out his claws to catch the cat stick, unexpectedly squat on the ground, and covered his eyes with his two front paws . His fat butt was facing him, it was not willing to play anymore .
Li Luo felt that his own moral integrity had disappeared completely after he became a cat . His claws were itching to catch something, and he was doing his utmost to scratch at things . He also liked to lower his head and lick his claws from time to time . When he come back to his senses, he already finished doing it . Furthermore, he completely didn’t have any resistance when his head and lower jaw was being stroked, not to mention the wool ball and the cat stick . He estimated that if he was given a few pieces of catnip, he might be so happy as though he would fly to the sky .
‘Although I had warned myself in my heart, I would not do this again the next time, but it is no use . ’ After encountering any of the conditions described above, he can’t control himself as if he was being manipulated . He felt himself being completely beyond being saved _ (: 3) ?) _ .
When could he be in human form again? Although in this form he could eat and drink, also the protagonist was very good to him, but he was not born this way, rather a human being . In his heart, he still wanted to sit at the table and eat like a normal person, and communicate with other people .
Li Luo was squatting down on the carpet, he closed his eyes as if he still felt awkward . In fact, he had sunk his thoughts into his mind, intending to take a look at the storyline to confirm the time when he could change back to a human form .
Li Luo called out that light dot in his mind, and the dot of light was like a picture scroll, as it unfolded within his mind .
Li Luo quickly turned to the synopsis of the current period of time, and flipped it over, as he searched for the information that he was looking for . However, after a while, he immediately paused after he fling aside one section of words, he went back to that section, and then looked over only at that one paragraph in his mind . Today, there will be a large-scale horde of magical beasts that rarely happened after a few decades in Mika City, and the protagonist’s grandmother still did not return before the horde of magical beasts happened . After the horde of magical beasts broke out, the protagonist immediately sought to help to the clan, but did not get any assistance .
After the horde of magical beasts in Mika City stopped, the protagonist who saw his grandmother’s dead body outside the city completely gave up on his clan, and immediately broke off the relationship with the clan and left Mika City .
That is, from that time onwards, the protagonist began to gradually become strong .
When Li Luo wrote this plot, he didn’t feel anything was wrong . It was a necessary plot to leave, but now he became a character in the book, and the male protagonist is living by his side . He also lived with the protagonist’s grandmother, that good-natured old woman, for more than a month, and now to let him so cold-eyed watch the old woman die, he couldn’t do it .
Li Luo immediately turned around, and moved his four small claws in fast speed, running to the edge of Elvis’s leg, he placed his front paws on Elvis’s trousers, anxiously pulling, he opened his mouth to talk but only “meow-meow-meow” sounds came out .
“What’s wrong, Ludwig?” Elvis lowered his head and looked at Li Luo who was pulling his trousers with his paws in puzzlement, and asked strangely, “Are you hungry?”
“Miao wu . ” Li Luo shook his round head, his amber pupils completely reflected his panic .
“Then, what’s up?” Elvis picked up Li Luo and touched his back a few times, trying to calm down his excitement .
However the little thing in his arms not only wasn’t soothed under his comfort, but instead became even more anxious, his four small claws were continuously moving, as his mouth issued a “meow” sound .
Li Luo was anxious, while constantly looking for a plan, what could be done to make Elvis know what he wanted to say . He turned his head around and saw the sweater that Vicia knitted on the side, he immediately waved the four limbs of his body, wanting to go down .
When Elvis saw that the little cat was continuously looking at the side, he put him on the sofa, but he then saw the little white cat happily running to the sweater that his grandmother had just knitted for him . The little cat continuously slapped the sweater with his paws, as he turned his head and anxiously let out meow meow sounds at him .
Elvis finally realized that something was wrong, he wrinkled his eyebrows and with no smile on his face, unimaginable thoughts flashed within his mind, “Ludwig, are you saying that my grandmother is in danger?”
Li Luo was so moved, he simply wanted to cry on the ground . The gesture that he made with great effort finally had an effect . He immediately called out “meow” and nodded his head .
Elvis didn’t say anything, nor did he think he was so strange to believe that kind of warning sign that his contracted beast made with only it’s palm of the hand . He placed Li Luo into a small bag that was specially made for him, and then tied the bag his waist, before he quickly rushed out of the house and ran towards the gate of Mika City .
However, as he ran to the city gate, he heard the alarm bells from the high tower which had been built next to the city gate . The sound of bells were like a heavy stone, that smashed his heart continuously .
Elvis’s face became more and more ugly, and he swiftly ran to the city gate, but he was immediately stopped by two guards .
Elvis’s eyes were red and he took a few deep breaths before he quickly asked, “What happened outside?”
“A horde of magical beasts, moreover the scale is bigger than the previous records in Mika City . Now the whole city is on alert, and it is forbidden to enter and exit . ” One of the guards said .
A horde of magical beasts?
Elvis felt as if his mind was being frozen by magic, and he couldn’t think at all .
Although he had not experienced the horde of magical beasts during his teenage years, he knew very well how terrible the horde of magical beasts are . A small scale of horde of magical beasts could cause the destruction of a village with a population of more than a hundred people, not to mention the larger scale .
“My grandmother is still outside . ” Elvis said .
“Although I am very sorry, but I still have to ask you to restrain your grief . ” The guard who stopped him didn’t waver in the slightest .
When Elvis heard this, he felt his blood was frozen . He understood that the city guards could not open the gate for him . After all, there were so many people in the city, it was impossible for him to open the gate for a single person, and let so many people be in danger .
Elvis’s head finally sobered a bit . He didn’t say much, as he knew that at this moment he could only request help from his own clan . This was his only hope . He did not hesitate to turn around and quickly run towards the center location of the Roxis clan . As long as he could save his grandmother, he was willing to pay any price .
In the bag, Li Luo also heard the alarm bells sound, and when he listened to the dialogue of Elvis and the guard, Li Luo knew that even if Elvis was now aware the situation, he still could not change the result . In the Roxis clan’s eyes, Elvis didn’t possess even a bit of usefulness at all, it was impossible for them to take the risk of sending people to save his grandmother .
Li Luo unconsciously felt somewhat sad . He laid down in the bag, as his two ears softened and drooped down . He felt that Elvis had stopped his steps and began to negotiate with the people who were guarding the gate, but the people who guarded the gate were unwilling to let him in . For the clan members who entered the main house, there were clear rules . They must be a talented person that have both elders and patriarch consent to be able to enter, and Elvis obviously did not have this qualification .
Elvis stayed at the side of entrance for a few minutes, but he was entirely unable to negotiate success . Then he suddenly moved his footsteps again . Li Luo knew that he was seeing the clan’s great elder . Elvis had the highest expectations of him, as he was the person who used to be good to him previously, but Li Luo knew that the rising hope that he had now would only bring him more despair .
