Chapter 371: I’m Just Looking
The official posthouse was not far from the lords manor.
Matthews footsteps were like flying, and he quickly arrived at the entrance of the posthouse. He was about to rush in, but after thinking for a moment, he calmed down and chose another method.
In an unnoticed corner, Matthew turned into a raven and flew over the high wall of the posthouse. The weeds by the wall and the dust on the ground came into view.
A few stone statues were piled up at the corner of the corridor.
The gargoyles on the eaves of the second hall were funny-looking. It was obvious that they were made by apprentices.
Matthew flew near the courtyard and soon found two figures, one black and one white, playing with each other.
He stopped on a higher cornice and silently watched the scene below.
Charcoal was teaching the little white cat how to deal with mice.
He was nimble. With a stride, he pressed a fat rat to the ground.
The little white cat wagged its tail and squeaked unwillingly.
Charcoal tilted his head and meowed a few times. Then, he slowly released his claws.
Whoosh!
The fat rat displayed a lightning speed that did not match its body and rushed past the little white cat.
The latter chased after him, unwilling to be outdone.
Her speed was obviously not slow. In a few breaths, she was about to catch up to the rat.
However, at the critical moment, Fat Rat made a nimble turn and gave himself some space to survive.
Then, he plunged into the grass.
The little white cat rushed over anxiously, but she bumped into a rock with a bang.
She was dizzy from the impact, and a bump quickly swelled on her forehead. Charcoal revealed an expression that said, You silly.
While the little white cat was moaning on the ground, he quickly went behind the grass. There, there was a shallow nest.
He didnt care how deep the nest was. He waved his claws and patted them randomly. Then, he reached in and dug for a while. He actually directly dug out the fat rat!
There were also five or six accomplices!
These fat rats were forced into a desperate situation by Charcoal. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws, wanting to fight to the death. In the end, Charcoal raised his paw and slapped each of them.
They all fainted.
No matter how much pain this child suffered, he would never vent his anger on others, let alone the nature he loved.
If this white cat has no misdeeds before, why dont I find a way to recruit her?
Shell be valuable to deal with the Withering Order and to keep Eli happy. Matthew thought to himself.
It was a pity that the other party was not undead. Otherwise, he would have used incitation.
He paced back and forth outside the posthouse.
Not long after, Lorraine rushed over.
Youre walking too fast, Matthew. You havent finished listening to my ballad-
There was also a necromancy technique in the story that allowed one to turn into a raven.
He couldnt bear to see his companion get hurt again.
So the beloved bard came to the rescue.
The clever Losolon made a small plan. The Witherers scheme would be ruined! Haha, how was my singing?
Matthew forced a smile.
You sang well, but next time youre on the streets, its better to cover your chest hair. Rolling Stone Towns culture is relatively conservative, so dont let others misunderstand.
As he spoke, he noticed the content of Lorraines chant, so he asked,
Do you have any plans?
Lorraine shook his head.
I havent thought about it yet. The part with Losolons plan was to finish the rhyme. Otherwise, people will think that Im a bard who cant even make up the rhyme.
Why? Didnt you tell your little brother the truth?
Matthew sighed.
Hes been through a lot, or rather, hes been through a lot since hes known me.
Sometimes, I think that if I told him to stay away from me, he might be happier.
Lorraine nodded, seemingly understanding.
It sounds quite complicated. How did you guys meet?
Matthew recalled, I met him through his ex-girlfriend. Lorraines eyes lit up..
