Chapter 547 This is the Specialty of the Cat-Humans

After chatting in the guild channel, Roland confirmed that only his stats were increased.

None of his friends experienced the same thing.

He even read posts on the forum for two hours, but he didn’t see any players saying that their stats had uncannily increased.

Was he the only person who had such a problem?

Or maybe, had some other players experienced the same thing, but they had decided to play it cool and didn’t want anyone to find out?

Roland thought for a moment and decided that he might as well play it cool too. The additional points on Spirit and the thirty points of mana capacity meant that he had a piece of high-level equipment that didn’t take up any slots.

Leaving the matter aside, Roland waved at the kitten who was hopping and catching b.u.t.terflies in the yard.

The catgirl ran over to him and looked at Roland with glittering eyes. “Master, are you taking me out to have fun?”

Marilyn didn’t dare to go out these days. Cats were both curious and cowardly. When they were scared, it would take days before they regained the courage to embark on adventures again.

However, if they had a strong supporter who was willing to take them out, they would still have the courage to go.

Looking at the catgirl’s hopeful eyes, Roland nodded and said, “Sort of. Marilyn, as a catgirl, you should have a sharp nose, right?”

“Of course!” Marilyn patted her unremarkable b.r.e.a.s.t.s proudly. “My nose is even sharper than that of a dog!”

Well… Although that was true, Roland somehow felt that it wasn’t right.

However, looking at Marilyn who was expecting praise, Roland could only say, “That’s truly awesome. I need to find someone in a city in the east. I may need your help.”

The cat-humans were natural-born Rogues and a.s.sa.s.sins.

They had both excellent noses and ears.

Thanks to their ancestors’ hunting instincts, the professionals among the cat-humans would have reinforced bloodline talents after they became Rogues or a.s.sa.s.sins.

In many cases, as long as one told a strong cat-human scout or a.s.sa.s.sin the name and general appearance of the target and where he recently showed up, this scout or a.s.sa.s.sin could likely track the target down even though they had never met before without any other intelligence.

It was not very scientific, but rather very magical.

A well-acknowledged opinion in the circle of Mages on such amazing phenomena was that the cat-humans were born with a talent that was similar to Lesser Benediction. However, it could only be used for tracing, and its effect depended on the cat-human’s strength.

In order to block the intuitive tracking of the strong cat-humans, one had to use special barriers that could resist divination spells.

But even that couldn’t be very effective.

Roland had read all this information in books. He thought that Marilyn should have similar abilities.

Besides, even if Marilyn didn’t have such abilities, she still had her nose and ears.

After Roland found the vulpera, or acquired some of his personal items, the catgirl would come in handy.

Hearing that they were going on a walk to another city, Marilyn flipped backward and scratched the ground with her feet excitedly. She exclaimed, “I certainly will! Master, take me with you! I can help you! When you flirt with other girls, I can watch out for you.”

Pa!

Roland tapped the catgirl’s head.

The catgirl immediately covered her head and squatted.

Actually, with the catgirl’s nerves, it was easy for her to dodge Roland’s slap, but Marilyn didn’t do that, because she had subconsciously acknowledged Roland as her master.

It was just the catgirl was simply too perky to show her obedience.

“Come with me. If we’re going out, I have to get something for your protection first.” Roland walked in the front and said, “You’re too weak. If a battle happens, your top priority is to ensure your own safety.”

“Got it. Meow.”

Marilyn followed Roland and accepted the demand so quickly that she let out her signature voice. Also, her tail was raised high and wiggling, indicating great happiness.

Roland went shopping in the western district of the Red Magic Tower with the catgirl and got a fitting light leather armor and two sharp daggers for her. He planned to enchant the two daggers, but he gave up the idea due to the limited time. He also bought a few magic scrolls, such as flash and temporary s.h.i.+eld that could be instantly cast, for Marilyn’s protection.

They weren’t very powerful, but they might save her life at a critical moment.

After they were prepared, Roland added fresh water and food to his system backpack and led the kitten out of the Red Magic Tower.

Brown Sand City was about sixty kilometers to the east of the Red Magic Tower.

On the way, there was nothing but desert and the occasional sandstorm.

Normally speaking, any travelers without experience in desert traveling wouldn’t dare to leave the city easily lest they were swallowed by the sand.

However, Mages were never normal, particularly those who were also Golden Sons.

Roland took Marilyn out of the city into the desert. Then, he built a square room with Mud to Rock and Rock to Mud in a random place and hid Marilyn inside. He then flew to Brown Sand City in about four minutes.

After that, he landed in an empty place outside of the city. He teleported himself back to Marilyn, and then teleported both of them to the city.

Blue light glittered behind the hill of sand, and Roland and the catgirl emerged from the light.
