548 The Catgirl Makes Another Contribution (2/2)

Even more ridiculously, four hundred meters south of the White Tower was a slum.

The master of the White Tower could see the miserable lives of the poor folk in the slum not far away every time he opened the window in the morning. Then he would feel greatly comfortable.

The moment Roland came to the slum, he smelled something nasty.

The stench was a combination of urine, poop, and decayed garbage.

The kitten's fur immediately bristled again. She covered her nose and stepped back quickly, before she shook her head at Roland.

Thanks to the compulsion for cleanliness in her blood, she would rather die before she went into such a place.

Roland wasn't in a rush. He didn't really have to go in.

It was because the vulpera thief was a Mage, who was too noble to stay for long in such a filthy place.

He must've been gone for a long time.

The catgirl was relieved to find that Roland wasn't forcing her to go in. She stepped far back before she finally lifted her hands from her nose and mouth. ”Master, we should find a place to spend the night.”

”Okay.” Roland nodded. ”Why don't you choose a place with your instincts?”

To be honest, even he didn't want to go into such a filthy place although he had a magic shield.

”Okay, okay.”

The catgirl immediately led the way.

The desert was already getting cold at night, and the temperature would plummet after ten.

At midnight, the temperature would even go below zero.

Ordinary people could easily freese to death without enough measures taken against the cold.

Therefore, in most cases, there were few passersby on the street after eight at night in desert cities.

The only places with candles lit were the hotels that hoped to attract the attention of the travelers.

The streets were cold and empty.

Marilyn walked by one hotel after another, sniffing the door of each hotel carefully.

She was choosing a hotel that didn't smell and was to her liking.

After all, she had a compulsion for cleanliness.

After more than an hour, the catgirl finally found an independent hotel.

This hotel wasn't exactly a luxurious one, but it looked very clean.

Also, an incense that smelled like mint was burning in this hotel.

After they entered the building, a middle-aged old woman received Roland and the catgirl uneasily.

This hotel was run by a human being. The old woman looked at them and noticed the collar on the catgirl's neck. She looked at Roland and asked, ”Do you need one room?”

The catgirl made no response to that question. She simply glanced at Roland and wagged her tail like a puppy.

But Roland shook his head. ”No, two rooms.”

The old woman looked at Roland in surprise, but she didn't ask further.

As a businessperson, she didn't care what her clients wanted to do.

Besides, she could earn more money from two rooms.

If the client wanted that, why should she refuse him?

Grabbing the keys, Roland led the catgirl upstairs. He intended to take a rest for the night and then wander the neighborhood with the catgirl the next day. If Marilyn's racial talent wasn't triggered, he would ask the local Guild of Mercenaries or the Guild of Assassins and see if they could find this vulpera.

However, it was beyond his expectations that he would run into someone in a gray robe coming downstairs when he was going upstairs.

The person's face was hidden in a dark hood and couldn't be seen.

When they passed by each other, Roland suddenly paused and asked the person in the gray robe, ”Spatial magic power? My friend, can I see your face?”

The person had hidden his magic power well, but they were really too close to each other on the stairs.

Besides, Roland had very good senses, and he detected the nature of the person's magic power easily.

Hearing what Roland said, the person in gray was stunned. He didn't say anything but pointed his finger at Roland.

Roland subconsciously raised his magic power shield and protected Marilyn behind him.

A weird swirl launched from the person's finger and hit Roland's magic shield.

Although Roland was blown two steps back, he wasn't really hurt at all.

The swirl was blocked by the shield.

Seeing that, the person in gray knew that Roland was strong.

He instantly turned around, leaped off the stairs, and fled.

But there was no way that Roland would let go of him. You think you're the only one who can cast a spell instantly?

Roland snapped his fingers, and the door was instantly blocked by a wall of sand.

Seeing that, the Mage took out a staff and pointed it at Roland, before he roared, ”Human being, mind your own…”

Spatial magic power was boiling from him.

But at this moment, a dozen enormous, transparent chains suddenly emerged from the void and stabbed into the ground near Roland and the person in gray.

Seeing that, the person in gray obviously shivered.

Then, he asked in a trembling voice, ”These are… Dimensional Anchors?”
