The next day''s dawn did not arrive on time, to be exact, it was the gloomy sky that did not let people notice the alternation of night and day. When Elsa woke up cheese, the mage even had the illusion that the day was not bright. The low sky seemed so close to the ground that it seemed likely to fall at any time.

    "It''s strange that it''s almost spring. Why do snow clouds appear now?" Looking at the sky above with a puzzled look, not only Mona, but several people from Longji mountain have such doubts. As residents of the northern frontier, they knew better than others what this celestial phenomenon symbolized. And they are equally clear that such a celestial phenomenon should not appear now.

    Although the knights from the Duke of the hammer felt strange to this climate, it did not hinder their most intuitive feelings. Darkness and low temperature are the prelude to their first day of exploration in Xigu city. Heather led ten knights to the middle of the city. Although the knight didn''t say anything, the expression on her face also showed that the sudden overcast day had greatly affected the search activities.

    As for cheese, after he repeatedly guaranteed his own safety and had to accept the protection of the other five knights, the mage took Elsa, three prisoners of war and two rat men, to find a room that could be used as a condition for opening the portal. Before the two teams set off, cheese handed Heather a thumb sized, finely carved wooden owl statue, and told the Knight Commander to follow the owl''s line of sight to find him. Although still worried about the mage''s safety, the search had to be carried out, and Heather knew that every extra minute of delay in the valley city now brought the danger closer.

    After watching the Knights of the hammers disappear around the corner of the street, cheese begins the search with eight other riders. Compared with Shanxia Town, the geographical location of Xigu city is still to the south. In addition, the terrain nearby is also different from that near Longji mountain. In addition to the military needs, the buildings in this city do not have to be built by heavy and thick stones like the buildings of the northerners. Instead, the builders of the city prefer wood that is easy to carry and cheap. Therefore, in order to find stone houses, the mage decided to explore the east side of the city, where the nobles and the rich lived in the valley city. The possibility of finding buildings meeting the standards in the east district should be the greatest.

    Xigu city is not a large city. As mentioned before, as a fortress city, its usable area will not be very large. So although the whole Xigu city is divided into five urban areas, the distance between them is not very far. This also led to the spread of many aristocratic manors and other courtyards around Xigu city. Of course, according to the results of their previous investigation, although these aristocratic or rich merchant''s residences seemed remote, no one could be spared from the plague.

    Therefore, in the face of a huge disaster, both the nobles and the rich businessmen can not be spared. Only knowledge is the guarantee to protect themselves from the unknown harm.

    In this way, the cheese team has arrived at the handover between the North District and the East District. There is no new discovery or trouble. Although cheese always has a feeling of being watched over, fortunately, there is no real danger. Until they were blocked by a stone wall.

    "Hell, how can there be such things in this city." Jack looked at the wall just a little lower than the wall and complained. Because they didn''t expect to climb the wall in such a place, the cheese team didn''t carry the hook and claw for climbing the wall.

    "It seems that this wall was specially set up to separate the military zone from the aristocratic zone, perhaps to protect the safety of the nobles." Said Mona.

    The cheese frowned and looked to the left and right sides of the wall. In his sight, he didn''t see anything like a door. The people who plan this wall should only reserve a few passageways between the two urban areas in Northeast China. Now that there is no way to directly climb over the wall, they have to stick to the wall. Cheese only hopes that they will not have to go to the central district to get around to the East District. If that happens, I''m afraid he will waste a lot of time on the road.

    Next to the fence, the group began to head west, so that even if they didn''t find an entrance to the east side, they could at least go to central to meet Heather and them. Along the way, they found something unusual.

    "Look, there are holes here too!" "Monkey" was the first to find a hole in the earth beside the wall. Unlike other holes hidden in the building, the hole was directly hit on the edge of the wall, which seemed to lead to the east side.

    In terms of shape and scale, this hole seems to be no different from that found before. Therefore, it can be concluded that if these holes are really dug by native rat people, then I am afraid that the wall built to protect the nobles will not work in the face of rat people. The fact seems to have proved this point. As the procession went on, they found more and more such underground caves near the wall. It seems that no matter what the digging is, the number of them will not be too small.

    "I think of a question." The landlady stopped and said. As others turned their attention to her, Elsa continued.

    "No matter who dug these holes, it seems that their function is to pass through the wall. Does this mean that the road leading to the wall is blocked?"As soon as this question was raised, cheese felt even more uneasy. There was a faint feeling in his heart, and Elsa''s conjecture was probably right. But for the last chance, the mage ordered the speed of action to be accelerated. They walked along the wall with the speed of running. Soon, the gate leading to the East District, or the gate that once led to the East District, appeared in front of them. This gate should have been enough for two carriages to enter side by side, but now, behind the falling iron gate, there is a blocking wall of bricks and stones and some sundries. There is no doubt that even if cheese can lift the gate, there will be no passage here.

    "It seems that these nobles, after discovering the spread of the plague, cut off their own access to other urban areas." The woman soldier analyzed.

    In this way, we can only bypass the central district. Cheese only hopes that the damned wall does not completely separate the Eastern District from the rest of Xigu city. If that happens, he will have to take a chance in other cities to see if there are suitable houses to cast the magic. But just as the mage was about to change his course of action, two rat man captives made strange noises! This terrible scream, even through the cloth bag on their mouths, was so exciting that the two knights in charge of escorting them could not help covering their ears with their hands.

    "Enemy attack!" Almost at the moment of the scream, the alert of the surrounding knight was issued, and with his cry, dense black figures of human figures appeared on the buildings around the group.

    "Rat man! Damn it, aren''t they not active during the day

    Hastily draw out their own weapons, a group of people soon formed a circular defensive formation.

    "It''s the sun! They were not active during the day because of the sun Said cheese. It seems that the previous conjecture about the habits of rat people is wrong. They are not only active at night, but simply averse to the sun. Now that the sun is covered by thick clouds, the day is no different from the night.

    "Squeak..." With the sound of the sound of the sound, those hiding in the building began to gradually approach cheese and other people, from the number of visual observation, the size of these rodents is far more than the total seen before.

    "We''ve been ambushed. It must have been from those two damned fellows." Jack said angrily.

    However, just as the frost guard planned to kill the two informer mutants, it was not known when they had been freed from the ropes with the help of other native murans. They swaggered back to the mob''s encirclement, the gray mouse man''s eyes shining with pride.

    Without most of the Knights led by Heather, they were besieged by rat men on their backs against the impossible wall without a mount. For a moment, the group seemed to be in a very dangerous situation.

    "I said," do you think anyone will come to save us this time? " "Monkey" looked at the huge number of rat people in front of him, and said with a wry smile.
