Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 524 Emerald

"Luckily, we didn't drink too much."

Milo patted Dillah on the shoulder, then turned to Chief Pinkerton and asked:

"Our next actions shouldn't have any impact on your people, right?"

The old orange cat continued leisurely licking its rum mixed with lemon juice, as if turning its head to speak was a difficult task. When answering Milo's question, only its large, furry ears turned towards him, replying very succinctly:

"I hope so."

Then he continued to scoop wine from the glass with his tongue.

...

The tavern owner didn't participate in their conversation at all. He, who was usually the most talkative, seemed to have gone deaf at this moment, and was completely focused on outsmarting a fly on the ceiling.

Milo finished his rum and then, with Dillashaw in tow, followed the young kitten.

……

On the clean streets paved with onyx, the cat skipped ahead with light steps, while Milo and Dirac, draped in gray cloaks, followed closely behind.

"I can't believe we've been spending four days in the tavern. I really don't understand. With such a strange flow of time, how can there be an even slower speed of time?" Dirasha had developed a habit of checking his pocket watch more frequently these past few days, not to verify or investigate these disordered time rules, but because he was worried about the current situation of the Eye Saintess, who was far away in the temple.

After all, the original plan was to create chaos to distract the temple and give Daisy an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. But now four days have passed peacefully. If the four days in Selphis are synchronized with the four days outside the border, then the plan has failed.

The strangest thing is that the second batch of temple messengers didn't seem to be in any hurry at all.

They came with the responsibility of clearing things out.

But after docking at the port of Selefis, it simply disappeared without a trace.

Without the help of the cats who settled in the city to search and find out, Milo and Dirac would really not know where to find these temple people.

...

"Don't worry, if time were synchronized inside and outside the Kingdom of Os-Nargai, we would have already returned to the World of Awakening." Milo wasn't in a hurry at all.

He observed the local customs and culture along the coastal streets with great interest.

Along the way, you can see the Emerald Temple towering in the distance, which is said to be dedicated to a deity of the native Os-Nargai faith, who also belongs to the order of the gods of dreams.

The temple's location in the coastal area clearly carries the implication of protecting seafarers. Therefore, merchant ships entering and leaving Selphis, regardless of race or business, would always take the time to visit the Emerald Temple for a prayer.

After all, nobody wants to encounter something terrible on their next voyage.

Thus, a scene appeared at the gates of the Emerald Temple: spice merchants, wine merchants, gem merchants, and even slave traders who bought and sold laborers all came to the Emerald Temple to worship with devout expressions.

Perhaps because Milo and Dirasha looked very robust, unlike the fat and bloated residents of Serefis who indulged in pleasure all day long, or the skinny sailors who spent their days at sea drinking moldy fresh water, they were quickly targeted by slave traders.

These slave traders could be considered humanoid creatures, except they all had thick, long hair with horns hidden within it, hooves at the ends of their legs, and tails dragging behind them, making them very similar to the demons described in fantasy literature of the sane world. Although they had covered most of their abnormal body parts with robes, their huge, ugly mouths exposed under their hoods and their yellowed fangs still inspired fear and kept people at a distance.

They are especially disliked by cats.

"These guys from the Cold Plains are dirtier than the sewers of Selphis. They are despicable, cannibalistic, and extremely lecherous."

These are the exact words of the young cat leading the way.

It's clear that it has a very low opinion of the "cold plains people" it refers to.

But after seeing the "lean" Milo and Dirasha, the slave traders began to approach the cat and, in their very broken Selphus dialect, asked it what the two humans behind it were worth.

Clearly, the slave traders from the Cold Plains treated Milo and Diracho as servants or slaves to the cat.

Such a strange way of thinking would never be seen in the waking world, but here in the dream world, Milo and Dirac, dressed in simple cloaks and clearly looking "starved," truly resembled a cat's attendants.

You should know that cats have an exceptionally high status in the Dreamland.

It took countless visionaries to barely break through Usa back then.

……

So, faced with this annoying and vile creature's attempt to get close, the young cat naturally retaliated fiercely:
"Get lost."

After uttering that curse, he led Milo and the other man across the street and continued towards the Emerald Temple.

He said while taking light, quick steps:
"We haven't been able to find the Golden Law Temple's ships, so we've had to send cats to stake out the Emerald Temple. Finally, we've spotted the pilgrims sent by the Golden Law Temple. Now, all we have to do is wait for them to finish their worship and follow them back the way they came to find the ship's location."

"The temples have such a good relationship?" Dirasha asked, somewhat puzzled.

After all, he came from a world where religious groups were generally hostile to each other.

However, he clearly overlooked one point: the Dream Realm is larger than the Realm of Clarity, and the order here has been established and stabilized by the gods over millions of years, with the conflicts of interest between different belief systems basically eliminated.

This is a very difficult state to maintain, which is why the gods of dreams refuse to let new old things join the dream world, and why the psychics of the waking world are deprived of the right to dream.

Of course, the most important factor is that there are no conflicting doctrines or resource conflicts between the two religious groups.

The Emerald Temple, located in the hedonistic kingdom of Os-Nargay, which is free from desires and wants, is bordered by the sea to the west and a restricted area to the east, so it is clear that it has no conflict of interest with anyone.

“'Nath Horsas' is a generous god who never rejects any group. His Emerald Temple is open to all races, which is the main reason why we chose to drift across the sea and eventually settle here.”

The cat patiently explained to Milo and Dillah.

Before long, they approached the Emerald Temple and arrived at a giant long street in front of the temple.

Looking at the strange giants standing beneath the rows of stone pillars lining both sides of the street, Diracho couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems that Nath Holsas is really very inclusive."
