Chapter 30 Black Cat
In the room filled with the scent of incense and bright candlelight, decorated in a mysterious and intricate way, the black cat on the high stool stared at the girl who was slowly waking up in the armchair, and continued to speak in a serious tone.
"Saria, tell me the truth, did you encounter any danger in the dream world?"
Listening to the black cat's words, Salia calmed herself down, and after she came to her senses from the daze she had when she first woke up, she spoke.
"Yes, yes, Grandpa. I met the Black Dream Hunters. They were chasing me? I almost didn't run away..."
"The Black Dream Hunters? Humph, it's those lowly scum again, shameful traitors... They don't have much talent but they are everywhere like a swarm of flies..." Black Cat snorted coldly, and then spoke with a disdainful tone, then he looked at Salia and continued to speak seriously.
"You encountered those traitors, but your reaction didn't seem like your mimicry was destroyed. How did you escape? Logically, your current mimicry shouldn't be able to escape from them."
"Hey... well, I did encounter some things in the dream world just now. Grandpa, let me tell you, everything I'm going to say is absolutely true! You must believe it!"
Salia's words were a little excited. Looking at Salia like this, the black cat showed a confused expression. Then, Salia recounted her previous experience in the dream world. While listening to Salia's narration, the black cat's eyes became more and more open.
"What? You said dragon? You foresaw a mimicry of a dragon in the dream world!? Did you encounter a shadow body?!"
The black cat said in disbelief, and Salia nodded affirmatively, clenching her fists and continuing to speak.
"I can be sure, Grandpa! That is definitely not an image! That dragon killed those people in the hunting group in just two or three moves, it is definitely not an image! And he also admitted that he was a mimic!"
After listening to Salia's words, Black Cat was silent for a while. His expression became solemn. He sat on the high stool without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.
"Dragon... Dragon Mimicry... This shouldn't be possible... How could a Dragon Mimicry appear in the woods... This shouldn't be possible..."
The black cat murmured silently, while Salia asked curiously.
"Grandpa, aren't you already very powerful because you can mimic a lion or a tiger? Now a dragon has appeared. Do you think it could be a high-ranking official of one of the big secret societies..."
"Those so-called high-level officials? Humph... Although many of them are so messed up that they are no longer human, they are still basically mortals..."
Hearing Salia's words, Black Cat couldn't help but sneer, and then continued speaking.
"Among the mortals nowadays, there are almost no ones who can mimic the ancient mythical creatures. Even the so-called high-level ones are the same. Those who can master the mimicry spell of mythical creatures will inevitably have the mythical-level poison recognition ability. Those who can do this can no longer be called mortals. Do you understand? Saria..."
Black Cat spoke to Salia sternly, and Salia was also stunned. She opened her mouth wide and took a while to relax before muttering to herself again...
"He can't be called a mortal... Is this so terrible? And, and I didn't provoke him... Maybe I even pleased him! I, I took the initiative to give him a little secret that I couldn't find easily tonight. Grandpa, do you think he will be happy about this?"
Salia became more and more excited as she spoke, and the black cat was slightly startled when it heard her words, and then its fur stood up.
"What! You said you took the initiative to give him the secret information that Yuan Yu collected. Are you crazy, meow!?" The black cat stood on the stool, with hair all over his body standing up, and his expression was full of anger.
"I haven't taught you the correct way to transfer secrets in the dream world yet! You can't just leave a mental trace on others like you did?! A being like that can directly use such a tiny trace as a medium! You may have been completely controlled by him now! He may kill you with just a flick of his finger, don't you know!?"
The black cat then started to curse at Salia. Salia was shocked and felt wronged by the black cat's curse, and her mouth suddenly flattened.
"But, but... I don't think that dragon is a bad guy. It looks friendly and shouldn't hurt me. Besides, I am also following your teachings, Grandpa, to be grateful and repay kindness..."
"Friendly? What the hell is friendly? The moral values I taught you before were in the secular world. Who told you to correspond to the secret world? Don't bring any moral concepts of good and evil to the secret world! Always be cautious! Never trust anyone! Didn't you remember?!"
The black cat continued to scold her harshly, and listening to the black cat's criticism, Salia began to sob a little, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Now, remember now... Grandpa... I was wrong... Will I be killed soon?"
Looking at Salia's current state, Black Cat felt a little bit sorry for a moment, then he softened his tone and spoke.
"Forget it. I exaggerated the impact a little. Since that being has reached such a level, how could he care about a small fry like you? Since you are still intact until now, he probably didn't take your traces seriously. I just used this as an excuse to teach you a lesson. Be careful next time..."
"Really? That's too much, Grandpa!"
After hearing what the black cat said, Salia immediately smiled happily, then happily lifted the black cat on the stool and spun it around in a circle.
"Put me down, you girl! Stop lifting me like that! Stop turning meow~"
Hearing the black cat's somewhat frightened words, Salia immediately put the black cat on the ground, and then the black cat immediately gave a stern order.
"Go to bed! Keep using it for me tomorrow. You need to quickly accumulate spiritual power and advance again. Only then can you have the ability to resist stronger poisons and I can teach you a stronger mimicry spell. If you don't want to be chased by those traitors next time, be more serious!"
"I know, I know, Grandpa!"
…
It was the day of Igwynte, when the sun was at noon.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Dorothy, who had taken a long nap, woke up slowly from her bed, then climbed out of bed with squinting eyes in a daze.
Due to the mental exhaustion from last night, she slept very late and had not recovered even now. The reason she woke up now was simply because she was hungry.
"Just find something to eat and go back to sleep... This dream world of mimicry is really a waste of energy, let's wait a few days before going again..."
Thinking of this, Dorothy, who was wearing a dark brown pajamas and slippers, unlocked the door and opened it. Then she was surprised to see Greg sitting on the sofa in the living room with a few documents in his hands.
"Dorothy, sleeping in at noon is not a good habit. You have to change it in the future."
Greg said with a smile as he looked at Dorothy with disheveled hair and a confused look on her face, while Dorothy said in confusion after looking at the scene in front of her.
"Greg? Aren't you going to work today?"
"No, I'm taking a short leave. I won't be in class today or tomorrow morning. I'll prepare some materials and equipment for you today. I'll take you to school to register tomorrow. I told you this before, did you forget?"
"Huh? School?"
Dorothy, who had been studying forbidden knowledge all night, felt as if she were in another world when she heard her brother say this familiar yet unfamiliar term.
