Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 40
It''s been a day since they were caught by the native rat man. Although Lyon said the rat men would occasionally throw in some food to ensure that the prisoners would not starve to death, it did not calm the cheese. For the mage, the purpose of his trip was to find out the origin of the rat man plague and curb its spread. Now, in the base camp of rat man, it can be said that there are inexhaustible samples for him to study and analyze. Cheese feels that he has never been so close to the truth. But to see what he has done in this mountain, apart from knowing and making friends with many Knights of the royal order, he is totally wasting his time!
However, no matter how crazy cheese himself is, it does not help his current situation of being imprisoned. The mage does not want to use magic to get out of the trap. As far as he has learned, there are still a few magic tricks that can help him get out of the cage. But what about that? In this dark underground cave, it''s just a dream to escape without being discovered by rat people. As for escaping with all the people here, let alone whether they can resist the attack of rodent dwellers without weapons, do they want to get back to the surface safely through the intricate tunnels? This is a big joke.
Moreover, since he knew that the mutated protozoans could still understand human language, the mage had always hoped to communicate with these guys. As long as he could know what had happened in the early stage of the spread of the plague, cheese could quickly determine who was the disseminator of the plague. At the same time, as long as he determined that this was a magic plague created from that system It will be much easier to determine the cure method.
Maybe the idea of catching mages and others by native mice is similar to cheese, and the communication opportunities he craves soon appears.
"Squeak..."
As the gray mouse man reappeared, all the people in the cage unconsciously stood up. The native rat man pointed to cheese and made a few strange noises to the giant rat people who came with him. The giant rat man obediently opened the cage, as if to take the mage away alone. Other people can''t just sit around and ignore it. They keep cheese behind the crowd, and Lyon is the first to stand in front of the crowd and block the giant rat man. Cheese keenly observed that when the blood lion stood in front of the giant rat man, the hand giant mouse man obviously shrank back, as if Lyon had left a lot of terrible impression on them before.
"Ga!" When the grey mouse man saw the giant rat men, he was frightened by an unarmed knight, and made a hasty voice. The giant rat men looked at each other and Lyon standing in front of him, and finally decided to obey his boss''s orders. They wave their huge forelimbs in front of the crowd to drive away people in front of cheese. Once someone is still in front of them, they attack and roar menacingly. However, in such a narrow space, it is absolutely stupid to fight bareback against opponents such as the giant rat man, so even though Lyon is reluctant, he still gives way. The attitude of the Knight Commander also represents the attitude of many Kingdom knights. Although they don''t mind fighting with the rat man, as they said before, it is not a good deal to pay the price of bleeding just to delay the time when the mage is taken away by the rat man.
As the Knights gave way, only three northerners, headed by ELSA, stood in the middle of the giant rat man and cheese. Facing the giant rat man who was nearly half the size of the normal person after bending down, the landlady did not show any fear. Although they chose to surrender with cheese before, they were sure that the mage''s safety could be guaranteed. Now these rat people want to take cheese out of the sight of several people. This is what the three will never allow.
Seeing that several giant rat men and northerners are locked in a stalemate, it seems that there will be fierce fighting between the two sides at any time. Just as the grey mouse man is about to order the killing of Elsa, the right hand of cheese puts on the boss''s wife''s shoulder.
"Never mind. I''ll go with them." The cheese without a grey robe looks like a young man. Even though he has been engaged in research for many years, he still feels a little weak. This makes others doubt whether he can protect himself well. The landlady looked into the cheese''s eyes, and after a few seconds of eye contact, she still moved away from the mage.
"Two days. If you don''t come back in two days, I''ll fight with these mice." Said the landlady, lowering her head as cheese passed by ELSA. The mage didn''t answer. He just put his hand on the latter''s shoulder slightly, as if he had agreed to the agreement.
The gray mouse man was relieved to see cheese coming out of the house, knowing that if they wanted to kill these people, they didn''t have to catch them alive from the beginning. Rat people have their own plans. These people are more useful alive than dead, so if they can, they don''t want to kill in order to separate cheese from others. But the mage''s cooperation still saved the rat people a lot of things. Then just take him to his destination.
With this group of primitive rat people, cheese left the cell, and they walked in the intricate corridor. At first, the mage could still remember the crossing, and even tried to draw the map of the cave in his mind. However, with more and more forked roads and seemingly meaningless turns, these rat people seemed to be taking some meaningless long road, soon Even cheese had to give up the idea. The mage can predict that apart from these rat people, there are no creatures in the world who can not get lost in this maze, provided that they do not destroy the walls of the maze because they are not angry.With this thought, their feet finally stopped. Escorted by several giant rat men, the mage was led into a room with several lighted candlesticks. You know, it''s a rare place in an underground rat''s den, where the overall lighting is extremely weak. Cheese, then these candlelight lights see a lot of mutant rat people in the house. To be honest, for the first time at such a close range, the mage''s hair was straight from the eyes of these special individuals, which were different from those of ordinary protozoans.
But soon, one of the most special of these rat people let cheese ignore these. As for why this rat man is special, on the one hand, it is because it is the only ordinary individual in this group of mutant rat people, and also because cheese found that he actually knew the rat man who was gathered in the center by all the mutant rat people. Unlike all the nearly naked rodents, this mouse man''s brown hair is obviously trimmed, and he even wears a special suit specially tailored for the rat man.
