I'm a mage, what's wrong with loving farming?

Chapter 311 311. The Boy and the Cat with a Pocket
Martin collar.

This is one of the territories abandoned by the church.

Even a fair and just God has places he can take care of and places he cannot take care of. This town named after a saint belongs to the latter.

After the locusts came, all the churches and forces belonging to the church withdrew, leaving only the city lord and the extraordinary people under her command to stay here and struggle to support the city.

Chaos, hunger, plague...

These unimaginable shadows have enveloped this ancient city, deep and pervasive, waiting to erode the city completely one day.

November 3058, Semrio.

In a small but very clean house, a thin young man was stretching lazily after getting up - the cold moonlight was still shining through the window.

He was already getting up to work before the moon had even set.

The cold night air penetrated into the warm room through the cracks in the window. He shivered and quickly put on his woolen clothes, and finally put on a tattered leather armor.

He has to wear leather armor, as it is his way of keeping warm and protecting himself, and it is also one of the few pieces of clothing he has left in the house that he can wear outside.

His movements were quick and decisive, and it was obvious that he was used to it.

What awaited him was hard work, which he exchanged for a few copper coins, and then he would buy some black bread mixed with broth which was basically just water used to wash the pot with a little salt and bring it back to drink.

However, when he was about to go out, he heard a creaking sound in the drawer of the desk. He immediately walked over, thinking that if it was a mouse, he might be able to have another meal...

Rat, that's meat!
His eyes sparkled and he pulled open the drawer.

But when he opened the drawer, what appeared inside was a blue and white kitten with a golden bell tied around its neck with a red rope, and a semicircular pocket could be seen on its white belly.

It climbed out of the drawer clumsily, and because it was not standing steadily, it let out a startled "meow", then fell to the ground with a "thump", and there seemed to be stars in its eyes.

William's originally cautious heart was instantly put down, and he even felt a little amused. Where did this stupid cat come from?
Living in the city of the Vatican, he certainly knew about the sudden appearance of demons and devils... Those things would suddenly appear, tempt humans to fall, and eventually become their food.

But what kind of demon would be so clumsy? Aren't demons supposed to be cunning?

He lowered his head and looked at the little blue cat, and asked curiously: "Where are you from?"

"Meow meow!"

The blue and white kitten struggled to get up from the ground, stretched out its claws to its pocket, and pulled out a wooden sculpture.

The limbs are complete and the body is well carved, except for the face which is still blank.

How can you take something out of such a small pocket?

"Demon?!" William's first reaction was that he had finally encountered a demon, and his second reaction was that he had been touched by the wood carving.

The exquisite wood carving began to twist and deform after it touched him, and after a few seconds it became exactly like him.

The woodcarver said, "I'll work for you."

After saying that, it picked up the bag next to it containing the tools needed for work and went out.

He looked at the wood sculpture in a daze as it walked out the door. He quickly ran to the window to look, and found that the wood sculpture's voice and movements were no different from his usual self.

Even greeting people on the street is very skillful.

A strange feeling emerged in his mind - today... I don’t have to go to work?
Was he happy or confused and helpless? Ever since his parents passed away in the accident, he had been working hard every day, working from sunrise to sunset.

Now that he was suddenly told that he didn't need to work anymore, his first reaction was to be at a loss. He was even a little worried that the strange wood sculpture was here to replace him.
What else can he do if he doesn't work?
Years of life have tamed him into a screw in this city. Having deviated from his original life track, he doesn't know what to do at all.

——Fortunately, the little blue cat next to him quickly gave an answer.

It reached into its pocket again, and this time it pulled out a pink wooden door that was more than a person's height, and placed it in front of the boy.

"Meow!" The little blue cat urged him to open the door.

William hesitantly grasped the metal door handle, thinking that since it was already like this, he was indeed curious about what the blue kitten wanted him to do.

So he pulled gently, and when he found that it didn't open, he turned the door handle.

"Click."

The door was opened by him.

Behind the door is a clear stream with lush reeds growing on the river bank. You can also see some creatures that are also in the shape of cats but with grass-like tails playing and playing in the river.

The golden, vibrant sun had just risen from the east, casting tiny golden spots of light on the surface of the stream. A natural picture that had never been polluted by the city slowly unfolded before him.

This made William, who had lived in cramped streets and narrow houses every day since birth and dared not go out of the city to see the natural beauty, feel novel and his heart beat very fast.

"Hey."

"who are you?"

Suddenly, a majestic voice came from the distance, and then an arrow whizzed over and hit the ground in front of William.

William, who lived in the city of the Vatican, had never seen such a thing before. He was so scared that he fell to the ground. The door behind him disappeared at some point and he just lay down on the grass.

It didn’t hurt, but I was really scared.

Because a tall figure has appeared in his sight.

He is a man with an extremely strong and even a little scary build.

He looked down at William, his feline pupils fixated on the trembling boy as he held a fully drawn bow and nocked an arrow.

Orcs!
This is actually the evil bloodline of humans and orcs, the half-orcs who are almost indistinguishable from demons in the legends of the Church!

The orc pointed a sharp arrow at William and spoke in a cold voice.

"Humanity."

"You are a human from Martin City, a lackey of the Holy See."

He seemed extremely angry and disgusted with William, and was about to shoot an arrow to end this guy's life in the next second.

Fortunately, an equally agile figure arrived in time and stopped him.

"Brother!" The man snatched the male half-orc's bow and said unhappily, "Duke Hanjiao said that not all humans are bad!"

The newcomer was wearing a cool outfit, with only leather armor covering the vital parts. The exposed skin seemed to be smeared with honey, glowing with a healthy color in the sun.

Well, she is a beauty. The only thing that is not right is that she has a pair of erect, fluffy cat ears on her head and a shaking cat tail behind her.

The male orc was also very dissatisfied: "If they were friends from Hanjiao Island, I would definitely invite them to live here without hesitation, but why would this human have the right to do so? He is a human from Martin City!

Martin, the lackey of the Vatican, killed our Tianling Shaman!"

William felt very embarrassed. Of course he had heard the legends of the Vatican, the legends of those saints eliminating evil and protecting mankind, but at this moment he suddenly thought... Could it be that "evil" also has its own life?
The little blue cat behind him, which had been silent all this time, suddenly walked out slowly, stretched out its white claws to rummage in its pocket, and took out a piece of...more than half a meter long cloth embroidered with small flowers.

"what."

"What kind of monster is this? A space monster?"

The half-orc brother and sister had just discovered it and were very surprised.

But even more surprising is yet to come.

The little blue cat signaled William to shake out the cloth and spread it on the grass. The moment it was spread, steaming noodles, shiny fried meat, and huge chicken legs covered with sauce appeared on it!

Not to mention William, even the orc brothers and sisters who had recently received some assistance had never seen such delicious dishes and were stunned instantly.

The little blue cat waved his paw generously, meaning you can eat as much as you want!
The orc siblings and William looked at each other.

There was a flash of embarrassment in the former's eyes, while there was a look of relaxation in the latter's eyes.

With the fragrant food, they almost immediately put aside their past grudges, sat down around the cloth amid the meowing of the little blue cat, and began to enjoy the food almost voraciously.

Chewy noodles, stir-fried meat with all kinds of seasonings, grilled chicken thighs that were almost perfectly grilled, and sweet and warm rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice...

Not to mention eating these delicacies that have never been seen before, there is actually an unlimited supply - every time the food on the cloth is eaten up, new food will immediately appear. What's even more amazing is that whatever food they occasionally talk about, it will appear immediately on the cloth.

In this way, the two orcs and the human had a full meal.

For the first time in their lives, they were well fed.

After eating and drinking, the little blue cat reached into his pocket again and took out a strange thing that none of the three of them recognized, which was actually called a syringe.

"Let me help you!" William looked at the little blue cat holding a syringe that was bigger than its body, and quickly took it. Then, under the kitten's meow, he inserted the syringe into a small tree nearby.

The light green liquid was instantly injected into the trunk of the small tree. The next moment, the tree began to grow wildly, with its branches intertwined to form a tree house!
Tree house!

He had only heard about it from legends. It was a treasure that only the elves had. Living in a tree house was extremely comfortable and could even keep one young and happy forever.

After the tree house was completely grown, the little blue cat took the lead in pushing the door open, waving his paws to invite them in.

From the elves' point of view, this tree house would be a bit simple. There are no special decorative paintings or magical creations inside, and even the tables, chairs and benches are grown out.

But in the eyes of the half-orc brother and sister and William, this tree house was unimaginably beautiful, clean, tidy, warm and comfortable, with the cold wind isolated outside the clear windows and doors.

There is even a small fireplace on the wall that makes the crackling sound of burning wood - can a tree house have a fireplace?
The three of them were led by the little blue cat to sit on the sofa as if in a dream, and then looked at each other. The tension that they had when they first met was no longer there.

William looked at the half-orc girl sitting opposite him, his face slightly reddened: "Hello... I, my name is William Dops."

The orc girl smiled and said, "My name is Rosa."

"You are the first human child I have ever seen. I heard that you all live in the city. Are you doing well?"

Her face was full of curiosity.

William was stunned.

Normally, all he saw were skinny, pale women toiling for life and work, like they had no souls. Suddenly, he saw such a sunny, healthy, heroic girl. Even though she was a half-orc...

What happened to the orcs? Did he live well in the city? The Vatican even emptied the city's granaries when they left!

All he got for his work every day was a piece of black and hard black bread, so hard that it could be used as a weapon!

Sitting in the warm tree house, he couldn't help but recall his recent experiences. Each and every event seemed to be right before his eyes, even the scene where his parents went to the priest for help but died because they couldn't afford indulgences.

In the city supervised by the Vatican, even being sick is a sin. If you want God to rid you of your disease, you can only buy expensive indulgences.

But...his parents got sick because they were repairing the base of the statue of God on a rainy night for the church.

Would I get sick if I sacrificed myself for God?

He really couldn't say what happened to him, so he could only clumsily change the subject: "It's, it's okay... How are you guys doing?"

Before Luo Lisa could speak, her brother snorted and said, “Recently your people have been plundering our resources. Do you think we can live well?

Haha, looking at you like this, it seems like you didn't get any of the loot you took back. Why did so many of you die?"

The sturdy half-orc leaned carefully on the warm and comfortable sofa, and lowered his voice a little: "Those who died were ordinary people, and those who benefited were the masters..."

He seemed to be very tired. The scars on his arms were red, obviously inflamed due to not being treated properly. He fell asleep quickly.

Rosa looked at her brother, then at William who looked troubled, and extended her hand to invite him, "I'll take you to see our village."

"Is it okay?" William was a little embarrassed.

"Of course!" The girl took his hand, picked up the cat who was about to take a nap, and ran out of the tree house.

William was a little uncomfortable at first, but after running a few steps, he felt that the air here was so fresh and so free.

It was a beautiful scene that had never been seen in the city of Martin, which was built in the name of the saint.

He also started running, running with the half-orc girl Rosa on the green grass, and their cheerful laughter could be heard from far away.

Their good mood lasted for a while until they saw an army in the distance.

That is the flag of the Vatican.

Just then, a priest holding a hammer with a grim face struck down hard, smashing a captured orc into a meat pie, breaking his bones and flesh.

The human boy and the half-orc girl were stunned where they were, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

But the hands they had been holding separated.
