The knight follows the knight into a building that has been searched, and it is also uninhabited for a period of time, but the appearance of this house is completely different from those abandoned houses in sweet water town who are ready to leave. The living utensils were randomly placed in the room, giving people the feeling that a robber had broken into here and roughly searched every corner of the room. In such a chaotic environment, the hole in the basement is not so conspicuous.

    "It looks like something was dug up." Touching the clear scratches on the wall, Heather said.

    "It must be the rat people. You see, there''s their fur here." Picking up a weird black hair from the ground near the cave, Jack says what everyone thinks.

    However, cheese looked at the round hole in front of him, which was less than 1.5 meters in diameter, but did not make such a simple conclusion. He always felt that something was wrong. Why did these rat people dig such holes in so many rooms? Where do these burrows lead? And one of the most puzzling questions for the mage is: if these protozoans really made these caves, where did they get the soil they dug out of the ground? You know, there is no pile of soil in this house, and no similar accumulation has been found in the street before. Such a dense number of caves must have brought a large amount of soil to be excavated, but now we can''t find the direction of the soil. A series of questions made the mage feel more uneasy. He felt that the valley city had many invisible eyes watching them in the dark, waiting for the human beings to relax and launch a fatal attack.

    In any case, however, these issues are not the immediate priority. After seeing the holes in four houses in a row, Heather is also uneasy about the existence of these hidden dangers. Although it has been suggested that these caves should be collapsed simply, it may disturb the existence of the burrows. Secondly, no one knows how fast the native rat man digging these caves has. If the collapsed burrows can''t stop the rat man''s progress, it may expose the existence of the small team. Finally, the matron decided not to deal with the crypts for the time being, and the team found a room without a burrow as a resting place. We''ll have to wait until tomorrow day to explore further.

    At night. Although the simple house is not much comfortable, it is more comfortable than the knight''s camping tent. Because of the large number of the team and the staff should not be too scattered, so the cheese and other four people were assigned to a small room. It was really crowded to fill a small room with four people. However, compared with those Knights sleeping in the corridor, the mage felt that there was nothing to complain about.

    In the night, Xigu city is as quiet as in the day. Except for the snoring of companions and the sound of armor collision made by knights sleeping with armor when they turn over, it is difficult to find any other noise with the mage''s hearing. Although the grass mat under the body is not soft, it is more comfortable to sleep than the grass with only a layer of cushion before. Together with the surrounding walls and ceiling, the sense of security in the building allows these soldiers who are constantly tense to relax a little. However, even in such a resting environment, cheese is still hard to sleep.

    When he couldn''t sleep, he went out for a walk, which was a habit formed before cheese. He tried not to make a sound, carefully avoided the "monkey" sleeping beside him, and closed the door gently after confirming that he did not wake anyone up. But even though he wanted to walk, there was no room for cheese to walk in the building filled with small groups of people. As for leaving this room and going for a walk in the street, the mage asked himself that he was not so crazy. He thought of the two mutant rat people who were brought into Xigu city together. He didn''t know if the strong hammer people had properly arranged these two troubles. After inquiring about the room where the watchman held the rat, the mage saw the two prisoners in a room on the second floor.

    To prevent them from infecting the surrounding knights, the two mutants were strapped with cloth bags on their limbs and mouth, making their claws and teeth useless. Although their work and rest should be different from that of human beings, the two rat men who had been in a bumpy day with the team were already exhausted. After confirming their status, cheese said hello to the soldiers guarding the rat man and left the room.

    The aimless mage suddenly found a window in a small corner of the corridor on the second floor. Because the nearby buildings were relatively low, there was no shelter outside the window. In the bright moonlight, cheese could see the stacked houses in the Valley City in the distance.

    "If it was before, Xigu city is still very busy at this time." Heather''s voice comes from behind the mage. Cheese is not strange. The knight will know where he is. I think the knight who asked before told her. But perhaps the knight was not a good conversationalist. Heather did not wait for the cheese to answer, but told her why she came to the mage.

    "I''d like to hear your advice on tomorrow''s exploration."

    The mage turned his eyes from the scenery out of the window and looked at the knight. He had thought a lot about the next day''s exploration, so the mage said.

    "I haven''t been to Xigu city before. I don''t know much about the terrain here. However, if you can, I suggest you explore the above ground parts first. As for the caves, I have some immature conjectures. When you explore tomorrow, you can find a map of Xigu city as much as possible, and then mark these caves on the map according to the areas found. Maybe I can guess something"Well, in fact, I also want to explore the eastern and central districts of Xigu city tomorrow. After all, if Lyon''s team is really in the city, it would be better to meet as soon as possible." Heather nodded and agreed to the cheese proposal. After getting the answer to the question, the matron also wants to recover her strength as soon as possible. After saying good night, Heather is ready to leave. But she seems to think of something before she leaves, so she turns back.

    "Perhaps it''s a little presumptuous, please forgive me. I heard from my family before that the mage can quickly recover his physical strength by meditation instead of sleep, but I didn''t expect insomnia? "

    "Meditation can restore the brain energy consumption to a certain extent, but if you experience intense physical activity, the mage also needs sleep to relieve the fatigue of the body. After all, it''s better to lie down and sleep. " Cheese laughs. It may be strange for ordinary people to use meditation instead of sleep, but in the eyes of the mage, it''s nothing to keep secret.

    The curiosity was satisfied, and the matron did not ask any more questions, so she nodded and left the second floor. Soon after that, cheese is going to close the window and go back to try to sleep. As he said, sleep can ensure that he has enough physical strength for the next action. But as soon as the master closed the window, a faint murmur came from outside the window. The murmur was hoarse and vague, and seemed to be sighing something. Cheese quickly opened the window to find the source of the whisper, but what he saw was the dark valley city.

    Maybe it''s too sleepy, cheese thought.
