I'm really not a Sanctuary Warlock.

Lynn ignored her teasing and walked straight up to her.

"Let's go, little catgirl."

He raised his hand and habitually ruffled Cat White's fluffy flaxen hair, then gestured for her to follow.

Cat Bai Bai was taken aback by his sudden action, her little face turned slightly red, and she subconsciously tried to dodge, but Lynn had already withdrawn his hand.

She had no choice but to puff out her cheeks, grab her backpack, and jog after Lynn.

Chapter 41 Don't look up, keep eating

The two walked down the stairs one after the other. The hotel owner was standing respectfully behind the counter. When he saw them come down, his smile became even brighter.

Lynn ignored him and walked straight to the door.

The Holy Spirit Unicorn waited quietly outside, its pure white body radiating a soft glow in the morning light, attracting frequent glances from passersby.

Lynn mounted his horse, and Cat White, familiar with the route, leaped up and landed lightly in front of him, once again taking up that excellent position.

"Let's go, meow." She patted the unicorn's neck.

However, as the unicorn took its first steps and merged into the crowd on the street, both of them realized something was wrong.

On the streets, the number of patrolling guards was at least three times that of yesterday evening. They were in groups of three or five, armed with weapons, checking every suspicious-looking pedestrian. The air in the whole city was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing.

"Why does it feel like there are so many more cats guarding the road?"

The cat, Bai Bai, sat in front of Lynn, looking around curiously.

"Don't look around." Lynn reached out and pressed her wobbly little head down, making her face forward. "Let's get out of the city quickly."

"Based on my years of travel experience, something big is definitely going to happen, meow." The cat's voice came from under his palm. "I just wonder which unlucky guy has stirred up such a mess?"

"Unlucky guy?"

Lynn replied with a self-deprecating remark.

"Maybe he's just a silly cat, but that depends on whether he can escape the city successfully."

Hearing this, Lynn didn't show any particular expression. The most important thing now was how to escape the city.

If all else fails, we'll have no choice but to fight our way out.

He's now level 10, and the Holy Spirit Unicorn has also leveled up to level 10, so there's no need to worry about speed.

However, doing so would cause too much commotion and lead to many more problems later on.

If you can avoid taking action, then try to avoid doing so.

As they drew closer to the city gate, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

At the city gate, a team of fully armed soldiers was conducting a rigorous inspection of everyone leaving the city. The leader held a scroll in his hand and compared the appearance of each person leaving the city with their own.

"Yes, approved."

"Next!"

Soon it was Lynn's turn.

He could feel at least five or six gazes falling on him at the same time.

Lynn's spiritual energy had already begun to operate quietly, ready to communicate with the sirens in the spiritual world at any time.

If anything goes wrong, he will not hesitate to spend 5 points of his available sanity to play the [Siren's Melody] at the city gate.

"stop."

A guard who looked very young stopped them.

The guard's gaze first fell on Lynn's mount. Its pure white fur, without a single impurity, and the single horn on its forehead that exuded a holy aura, all demonstrated its noble lineage.

Then look at what's in front of Lynn.

A petite and adorable catgirl was sitting there obediently.

The young guard inwardly scoffed. These important figures really know how to have fun; they even bring their pet slaves with them when they go out.

Finally, his gaze fell on Lynn's face, hidden in the shadow of his hood.

The young guard frowned after just one glance.

He held up the portrait in his hand and looked at Lynn more closely.

This……

Honestly, she looks about 70-80% like the person in the portrait.

They were all the same age, with the same black hair and black eyes.

For a moment, he was unsure what to do.

"Why are you taking so long to check things!"

A much older-looking guard walked over, impatiently slapped the younger guard on the back of the head, and then glanced at Lynn.

"Let them through." He waved his hand casually.

Lynn didn't speak, but gently spurred his horse, and the Holy Spirit Unicorn immediately set off, slowly passing through the city gate.

Lynn finally breathed a sigh of relief after walking far out of the city gate and confirming that there were no pursuers behind him.

"Uncle, you recognized him, didn't you? It was him." At the city gate, the young guard watched Lynn's departing figure and lowered his voice.

"You saw through it and still won't let them through?" The older guard glared at him.

"I..." The young guard was speechless for a moment.

"You little brat, you don't want to live, but I do." The older guard withdrew his gaze. "Don't you even consider who could kill young master Francis?"

"Can we stop people like that?"

The young guard broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

Only then did he belatedly feel a surge of fear.

The veteran was right; beings of that caliber were simply not people like them to mess with.

“So the right thing to do is to say we didn’t see anything.” The veteran patted him on the shoulder. “The murderer? The murderer left the city last night. It has nothing to do with us.”

……

For a fleeting moment just now, I even thought they were looking for you, meow.

On the road outside the city, Cat Bai Bai finally couldn't help but speak.

"Don't look up, keep eating."

Lynn reached out again, pressed down on her little head that was trying to turn around, and stuffed the large dried fish back into her mouth.

The warm fingertips inevitably touched the soft lips.

"Meow..."

Cat Bai Bai looked as if she had been electrocuted, her little face instantly turning red. She obediently turned around, hugged the dried fish slice, and started taking bites.

The salty aroma of dried fish mixed with the faint milky scent of the catgirl's body rushed into Lynn's nostrils.

Lynn felt that his sanity was being severely tested.

……

Meanwhile, at the city lord's manor.

In his luxurious bedroom, August Red Lion listened to his subordinates' reports with an expressionless face.

"Didn't find it?"

"Yes, sir. The Knights and the Mage Tower speculate that the murderer likely left the city that very night after killing young Master Francis."

“Useless.” August spat out two words.

He sat up from the silk bed and casually put on an outer robe.

"It was publicly stated that Francis oppressed the people, and that I personally ordered his execution after discovering this."

"As for the beggars caught at the Hollow Inn..." he hesitated for a moment, "release them all, including the boy who killed Francis with his own hands."

The servant was stunned, completely baffled as to why the city lord would issue such an order.

August did not explain; he simply waved his hand, signaling the servant to leave.

He was left alone in the bedroom.

He walked to the window, looked at the rising sun in the distance, and muttered to himself.

“Although Francis is my most disappointing son, it is not up to an outsider to discipline him.”

He took a black whistle from his pocket, put it to his lips, and blew it softly.

A dark figure appeared silently behind him and knelt on one knee.

August walked to the window and looked at the gray skyline in the distance.

"Bring back the murderer's head, and I'll give you your freedom."

Chapter 42 Chaotic City

A day has passed.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated when the Holy Spirit Unicorn's four hooves trod smoothly on the muddy road, making almost no sound.

"The strong adapt to their environment; only the weak complain, meow."

The cat sat in front of Lynn, its small body rising and falling slightly with the unicorn's steps, while it muttered some profound truths it had read in some travelogue.

Lynn was amused by her pretentious seriousness.

“You silly cat, the strong will naturally adapt to their environment.” He freed one hand and touched her soft ear. “Because they have shaped the environment into the shape they like.”

"Meow..."

The cat shook its ears, speechless for a moment after being stumped by his twisted logic.

"I...I can't find a reason to refute it, meow."

Lynn withdrew his hand and focused on controlling his mount.

The Holy Spirit Unicorn is extremely fast; even when it is just moving at a constant speed, it is far faster than a normal horse.

In just one day and one night, they had already left Shouxu City far behind.

On the horizon, the outline of a new city slowly emerges.

The weight that had been hanging over Lynn's heart finally lifted.

Having run so far, even if the city lord of Shouxu City has extraordinary connections, there's no way he could catch up now.

Now we're finally safe.

"Meow, are you sure you want to go to this city?" The cat's voice came from in front of me, its tone uncertain.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this city?"

Lynn pulled on the reins, slowing the unicorn down.

“This is Chaos City, right next to Lawful City.” White Cat pulled a map out of her magical backpack and pointed to the markings on it. “They used to be twin cities, but a few years ago, the city lord here was overthrown.”

"And so it became a no-man's land."

She put away the map and added in a low voice.

"Therefore, the security here is just like its name, it has become extremely chaotic, murder and robbery are commonplace, and there is no integrity at all in the whole city."

There are places like this?

Lynn's eyes were opened.

This world always manages to bring him some new "surprises".

"Isn't this your first time here, little kitten? How do you know so much?"

"Because this didn't just happen recently, Chaos City has been like this for several years now, meow." Cat White explained, "This event has been adapted into heroic epics by many bards and sung in various kingdoms."

"They all say that a group of heroes emerged from Chaos City who opposed the monarchy and the Pope, and they overthrew the tyrannical rule of the nobles, meow."
