Chapter 33, Part 1 "There are many people around the campfire."

Ordinary people have no good feelings towards Lizard People.

Lizardmen are a subordinate group of orcs (a nomadic race with pig noses, long fangs, and a strong fighting spirit). They believe in their ancestral gods and the god of war, and they think about fighting when they have a full stomach.

The divine realms of the Orc Ancestral God and the God of War are connected, engaging in an eternal game of war.

Before the War of the Gods, when the gods could still create an avatar at will and go down to the mortal world, these two gods often summoned (kidnapped) heroes from the mortal world and forced them to participate in their war games.

As a subordinate tribe of the Orcs, Lizardmen mostly occupy the mountains and block the roads. They are a famous bandit race and are also roadside monsters that players often encounter.

Cat-lizard people were also discriminated against, but currently the largest number of residents in the City of Hope are halflings.

When halflings make friends, they don’t consider race or origin, but rather “attention”.

They believe that cat-lizard people are all good people. Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang also say that cat-lizard people are good people, so they are willing to get along with cat-lizard people on an equal footing.

How could the cat-lizard people have ever been treated like this?

The cat is crying its eyes out, having to be neighbors with halflings.

The halflings were pleased.

Their biggest regret is that they are too small.

Adult lizardmen are slightly larger than average cats, ranging from half a meter to one meter in height. The average height of an adult halfling is one meter. They are all quite small, and walking together creates a harmonious harmony.

It just so happens that both of them are broad-minded, enthusiastic and hardworking, and their fighting ability is not weak either, so you can imagine how harmoniously they will get along.

No matter how many people laugh at halflings for being "stupid" behind their backs, when it comes to judging people, halflings are indeed living examples.

They got along well with the cat-lizard people, and other onlookers in the city also gradually accepted the cat-lizard people.

At Xia Xifeng's suggestion, the cat-lizard man began to complain to others after getting familiar with them.

Cat-Lizardmen are, in the setting, a "weakened" variant of Lizardmen.

Don’t ask how the tall and mighty wolf-dog lizardman can be weakened into a cat-lizardman. It’s just the characteristic of the Western fantasy world.

The orcs are a race of the jungle, and if they were of the same size, they could still fight against the orcs, but there were no tall and mighty cat-lizardmen in this world.

To use the players' words, the game officials did not make tiger lizardmen, leopard lizardmen, lion lizardmen, but only house cat lizardmen.

That cat-lizard man is very pitiful.

They were at the bottom of the Lizardmen hierarchy and were often captured and used as slaves by them. Even if they worked their hardest, the Lizardmen would take away their food, leaving them with only enough to fill their stomachs.

If they hadn't worked so hard, the Lizardmen wouldn't even give them enough food to fill their stomachs or enough clothes to cover their bodies.

This time the lizard people are going to increase taxes again. The cat lizard people really can't survive anymore, so they risk their lives to scam Qin Lang.

Since they are all slaves anyway, humans at least won’t treat cat-lizardmen as food reserves.

The cat was so miserable that the halfling cried until his eyes were like faucets.

Xia Xifeng quietly poked Qin Lang's waist with her finger: [Leo and Perilla are crying so funny.]

Qin Lang slapped Xia Xifeng's mischievous hand: [You can make a sound to laugh at them.]

Xia Xifeng would not be fooled.

Leo and Pereira became increasingly rude to him. If he angered them, Pereira would tie him up the same way he tied Leo, and then have Leo push him around while he was hanging upside down.

Xia Xifeng continued to complain: [When Cats first appeared, both the Cat Party and the Dog Party went crazy. The Cat Party said the planner was a stinking Dog Party, who abused cats and cats; the Dog Party said the planner was a stinking Cat Party, who slandered dogs. Do you think the planner is a Cat Party or a Dog Party?]

Qin Lang: [It's nothing, just making the NPC play misery so that players can spend money.]

Xia Xifeng: [...You are so boring.]

No matter what the planner's intention was, the cat's miserable performance this time was extremely effective.

Even the elves, who are arrogant and look down on orcs, no longer have a bad attitude towards cats.

Some elves act coldly towards cats in front of people, but secretly give them snacks behind their backs.

In order to celebrate the official joining of the cat-lizardman into the big family of City of Hope, the halflings naturally had to hold a banquet.

At the banquet, the drunk cat-lizardman elder forgot Qin Lang's instructions and cried in public, thanking Qin Lang for everything he had done for them.

These words did not make any sense to others. Xia Xifeng, who was familiar with the mission process of the cat-lizard man, glanced at Qin Lang frequently.

What about accidentally running into a cat-lizard man trying to scam you?

Qin Lang was just thinking about whether to admit that he was a hidden cat party member when Xia Xifeng looked away awkwardly and said in a whisper, "Thank you."

Qin Lang shut up.

If he understood Xia Xifeng, Xia Xifeng would also understand him. His sophistry was useless.

After Xia Xifeng thanked him quietly, he walked towards the dance floor with stiff hands and feet.

Qin Lang looked at Xia Xifeng's red earlobes and looked away uncomfortably, admiring the cat and the halfling dancing in a circle hand in hand.

They were already so familiar with each other, why was Xia Xifeng blushing? It made him feel embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xia Xifeng adjusted her mentality after dancing for a while, and did not let Qin Lang feel embarrassed for too long.

Xia Xifeng was a crazy person. He put a cat on his head and asked the cat to tap dance above him.

The onlookers applauded.

Perilla, a halfling who doesn't like dancing, was infected by the atmosphere and took the initiative to dance with the cat.

Leo clapped his hands until they turned red. Brother, you dance well!

The little halfling girl Rosie, who had become good friends, and the little dwarf girl Lana, held hands and danced so hard that the triangular scarves on their chests became askew.

Qin Lang watched Xia Xifeng having fun, slamming wine into his mouth, covering his eyes with his hands and pretending not to see anything.

Xia Xifeng's sleeping posture will probably be scary again today.

And after drinking so much, how could he take a shower and change his clothes by himself?

If Xia Xifeng is soaked in cold water, can he sober up instantly?

Alcohol is not a good thing, don't even take a sip. Why doesn't Xia Xifeng understand?

"Aren't you going to drink and dance?" Suer came over with a glass of wine.

He had never imagined that this magical subspecies of lizardmen was hidden near Green Sand City, as if they had suddenly appeared.

Qin Lang said, "There has to be someone sober to serve the drunk."

Hearing Qin Lang's words that were filled with resentment, Suer laughed: "You did a better job than Amuruo." Qin Lang, as a protector, did a better job than Amuruo.

Amuruo was very observant and heard Suer saying "bad things" about him.

The tips of the half-elf's ears twitched. Amuruo wondered how to keep up the good work.

Sur loves picking up kids. The noisy ones get the most attention.

Xia Xifeng sang and danced until she was finally exhausted.

He glanced at where Qin Lang was, jumped over in two steps, and then knelt down in front of Qin Lang, as if he was going to kneel down and salute Qin Lang.

Qin Lang picked up Xia Xifeng when his forehead was about to hit the ground.

"I'll take him to sober up." Qin Lang said.

Leo, who was drinking with the dwarf, made a gesture to Qin Lang, indicating that he had heard it and would continue to host the banquet.

Pereira is still looking for different cats to dance with.

He had never danced so vigorously in his life.

Qin Lang suspected that Pereira was the "stinky cat gang" that Xia Xifeng mentioned.

Qin Lang dragged Xia Xifeng back home, helped Xia Xifeng find some clean clothes, and gave Xia Xifeng a bottle of mint-flavored sobering potion.

After Xia Xifeng finished drinking the potion, he felt icy cold all over. He shuddered instantly and the alcohol in his eyes faded.

"The water temperature is adjusted. Go take a shower. Call me if you fall." Qin Lang said.

Xia Xifeng complained: "What's the point of calling you after I fall down?"

Qin Lang said, "You have high defense, so even if you fall on your head, it won't kill you. One bottle of red medicine can fill your health back up. The fall is just a good lesson for you."

You deserve it for getting drunk.

Xia Xifeng complained a lot and took his time to take a shower.

Although there were two bathrooms, Qin Lang did not go to the other bathroom to take a shower as usual. Instead, he waited at the door and waited for Xia Xifeng to come out of the bathroom before going to take a shower.

When Qin Lang woke up, he found that Xia Xifeng was gone.

Qin Lang: "..." How come he didn't know before that Xia Xifeng had a habit of running around drunk.

Qin Lang: [Where are they?]

Xia Xifeng: [The moon on the roof is so big! ]

Qin Lang walked onto the rooftop. Xia Xifeng had plucked out all the useless flowers in the small rooftop garden and replaced them with edible or usable flowers.

They all look good anyway.

Xia Xifeng's brain was probably still not clear due to the alcohol, so he let the alchemy puppet sleep on the roof, wanting to sleep on the roof under the moonlight.

Qin Lang looked up at Yin Yue, and at Xia Xifeng's invitation, sat down next to Xia Xifeng.

After Xia Xifeng fell asleep, he carried Xia Xifeng back.

Xia Xifeng generously gave Qin Lang half of the quilt: "When you see the moon, does it make you feel poetic?"

Qin Lang: "No." He was drunk again.

Xia Xifeng wrapped herself in a quilt like a cocoon: "I have it."

He stared blankly at the sky.

"Now, shouldn't we recite Li Bai's 'Quiet Night Thoughts'?"

Qin Lang turned and looked at Xia Xifeng.

"The moonlight shines brightly before my bed, and it looks like frost on the ground."

Xia Xifeng swayed left and right wrapped in the quilt.

"Looking up at the bright moon, I think of my hometown."

"Qin Lang, there are only two of us in this world. It's so lonely."

Xia Xifeng buried his head in his knees.

Qin Lang looked towards where the banquet was taking place.

There, a bonfire was burning brightly, lighting up half the sky red.

Xia Xifeng was just there happily drinking and dancing.

There were their halfling friends, the prophets and guardians who looked after them, the people who respected them, and the miserable cat who had just joined.

There are a lot of people.

Xia Xifeng said that there were only two of them in this world.

Qin Lang retracted his gaze: "Yes."

He agreed.

Xia Xifeng lay on his back on the bed in the open air.

Qin Lang also lay down flat.

Xia Xifeng moved to Qin Lang's shoulder and pressed her cheek against it.

The two of them lay quietly and actually fell asleep on the roof.

Fortunately, there is no rain tonight, only the moonlight looks like frost.
