Despite all the preparations, Gloria''s appearance surprised cheese. We should know that the actual location of the ash tower can be said to be extremely deep into the north. It is almost impossible to reach Longji mountain from the ash tower only by one person. Not to mention that before cheese left for the last time, anlina was asked to take care of Gloria. How could she be here? Wait, who did I give her to take care of The smile of anlina''s face flashed in her mind, and cheese suddenly felt that Gloria''s appearance was not so hard to accept.

    The former countess''s daughter was also very surprised to see cheese. She did not expect to meet the mage here. But just as she was about to get up and approach the mage, the mutant rat man sitting beside her stopped her.

    "Squeak..." Cheese was surprised to see Gloria communicate with the mutant mouse people around him in the way of rat man. He didn''t expect that Gloria, who was captured by him after mutation, could also use this similar singing language.

    "So communication is an instinct?" Whispering to himself, cheese has a new understanding of rat man. In this way, the mage understood why the rat men brought him here. With Gloria as the interpreter, communication with these murans became feasible. Of course, he didn''t just notice this. Just when he entered the room, the mage''s whole attention was attracted by Gloria. Now, while the latter was still communicating with other mutant murans, cheese was able to observe the rat groups in the room by candlelight.

    "All of them are mutants. There are about 30 or 40 of them. There are not many giant ones. They should only be responsible for guarding." According to the proportion of mutant rat people observed before, the number of these mutant rat people in the Valley City, including giant rat people, should be about 100. However, since it is not sure that all the mutant rat people are present, the number is only a rough estimate. This had to make the mage think about a problem. In the face of the huge number of these mutant rat people, even if all the residents in the valley city had become native rat people, the conversion rate was too high.

    However, without waiting for cheese to think deeply about this issue, Gloria seemed to have finally convinced the mutant rat people that, in the end, the two sides should have reached some kind of concession. Cheese was taken about 50 steps in front of Gloria, and the conversation began with four giant rat men on guard. This is the first time that humans have had a conversation with a rodent group, although this one has not been recorded in any form.

    "Gloria, did sister Lily send you here?" As for the question of how Gloria appeared here, although cheese has made a general guess, the master thinks it is better to ask clearly.

    Said the countess, nodding her head.

    "Yes, after you left, Ms. anlina and I have done a lot of research on my current state. She thinks some of the information may be helpful to you. So she sent me to deliver the information to you. It''s just Ms. anlina didn''t seem to tell me how to find you, so I had to come to Xigu city first. Then I was caught by these people... "

    There was no need for Gloria to elaborate. Cheese could have imagined that the schoolgirl must have opened a portal in the Earl''s territory and threw Gloria over. As the first individual cured by cheese and anlina, Gloria did not change back to human form, but she also had the ability to be immune to the plague. It can be said that Gloria is almost harmless in the current count.

    This is also the reason why anlina let the former return to the count alone. However, because this is cheese''s own adult task, although anlina can "free" Gloria back here, she can''t tell her where to find the mage. But it didn''t matter, because anlina knew that Gloria, who returned to the count''s command, would go to Valley City for whatever reason, and cheese would certainly go there to investigate, so their meeting was almost certain. Although the situation must have been beyond Miss vampire''s expectation, in terms of the results, it is.

    "Well, it doesn''t seem like it''s time for you to give me the information, so let me hear what these guys are trying to say about me." Obviously, although these mutants are polite to Gloria, her status here is no different from that of the mage. The reason these mutants showed up here with Gloria was that they wanted her to act as a translator to communicate with the mage, and the conversation between them had already made them fidgety. This is not a chance to communicate with people.

    After the two stopped talking, some of the mutants began to speak to Gloria in their special language. The countess''s daughter nodded after hearing them and told the mage in human language.

    "They want to know if you can cure them."

    Not unexpected questions, cheese thought a little bit, decided to answer truthfully.

    "It''s a pity that I can''t get you back to being human right now. In fact, from the information available, this mutation is irreversible. In other words, you may never be able to change back to what you were before. " After the mage''s words, the rat people on the scene seemed to burst into a pot. You don''t have to translate cheese to know what they''re talking about, because although they''ve become quite different species, I''m afraid that all intelligent creatures can''t be much worse off in response to this problem.These rat people should have heard from the gray mouse man who had been caught by cheese before. The mage came to try to cure the plague, so they arranged the meeting with hope. However, when the cheese admitted that he couldn''t make these rat people back to human beings, the impact would be obvious. Even the mage thought that the response of these rat people was too rational. Although their commotion was huge, none of them made any actual action. This also shows from the side that maybe these rat people have foreseen this kind of result. What''s more, cheese noticed that there was a black haired rat man who was in charge of the order of the mutant rat man. With his pacification, the small disturbance was soon quieted down.

    It seems that this black haired rat man is likely to be the leader here, and that''s good. A mob led by a human is at least much better at communicating than a group of rats with the ability to think. Next, the behavior of the black haired mouse man seemed to confirm the mage''s conjecture. After all the rat people were quiet, the mouse man asked a second question.

    "They want to know if you can treat them as well as you can treat me. That is, to stabilize their condition, so that they no longer have pain. "

    Another meaningful intelligence. The mage had previously speculated about the existence of these mutant rat humans. At first, he thought that the plague virus had reached a stable level in them, so as to explain why they still have the ability to think rather than be swallowed up by instinct. But now, it seems that this is not the case.

    All the rat people present are waiting for the answer of cheese. They have already accepted the fact that they can''t change back to human beings. However, if the mage doesn''t have the ability to restrain their pain, maybe the rat people should reconsider the value of cheese. Cheese knows it himself, he said after looking around at a crowd of mice in the room.

    "You''re different from Gloria and the people out there, and I think you know that. I''m able to stabilize the mutation in Gloria, but I''m not sure I can stabilize your virus 100 percent. Because I''ve never tried before. So, if you want to know the answer to this question, I can''t guarantee that I need you to cooperate with me, trust me, even obey me. Only in this way can I get you out of your pain. "

    Silence, different from the previous agitation, when cheese said this, the whole room fell into absolute silence, and every rat was thinking about whether the cheese was trustworthy or not. Their eyes were fixed on the mage, as if to see him from the outside to the inside. These lines of vision let cheese behind the involuntary out of a cold sweat. He knew that his answer was not satisfactory enough, but it was a gamble. The mage didn''t want him to exist only as a therapeutic tool among rat people. He hoped that he could have equal dialogue with these rat people, so that he could do more.

    For a long time, almost when cheese was about to give up, the black haired mouse man murmured.
