A strange world

Chapter 558 Chapter 215. Rat people are good friends

In the dark underground palace, the rats formed a shallow wave, clustering around the rat priest. Following its pace, the dark underground palace turned into a depth.

Deep in the underground palace, a beautiful woman wearing a light-colored robe, covering her good figure, was sitting outside the dungeon, and she was out of place here.

"Master Priest."

She stood up and faced the rat priests who were accompanied by the rat pack.

"Maria..."

The rat priest uttered a rat language like a whisper: "The eyes of the rat god tell us that a group of humans are plotting evil in the east..."

"Will they come?"

"I just want to tell you that the Montreal bloodline...the Saint race is still useful."

"Where did they get here?"

"Everything here cannot be left to humans..."

"I request the use of the Fel Eye."

"You are the warden, I allow you..."

After receiving permission, Maria followed the rat priest to the core of the underground palace.

Fluorescent green light and murmurs of fel energy filled the dark hall, and the Skaven cultists gathered around the altar of the Fel Eye to pray and provide energy.

The rat priest exited the underground palace, and Maria, who served as the warden, stepped onto the altar to communicate with the evil eye.

A shadow of an evil eye appeared in the sky above the ruined palace.

She searched for suspicious outlines near the old royal capital. At a certain moment, the evil eye in the underground palace reflected a sneaky figure.

Maria's heartbeat quickened, and she quickly averted her eyes before she was discovered by the praying rat cultists.

In the underground palace that echoed with the sound of continuous prayers, the figure that briefly passed by appeared in Maria's mind.

Why is that person here...

…

The attacking rat tide is like a dark cloud, slowly but surely shrouding the green land.

The scattered rangers attracted the attention of the rat men, and they dispersed into small groups of musketeers and retreated while fighting to avoid being bitten by the rat tide.

If they had war horses, many problems would be solved. Femi thought.

When the expeditionary force went south to attract the attention of the rat tide, they were unaware that the leader of the expeditionary force was missing.

"I can't cast any more spells."

After stepping out of the portal again, the falcon landed on the dean's shoulder. Vicissitudes of life's eyes fell towards the ominous eyes of evil energy in the distance: "The rat men are monitoring this land, and violent magic fluctuations will be noticed by them."

Annan looked at the decayed old royal capital dozens of miles away.

We are already very close to our destination. It is not worth giving up at this time...

"I'll go by myself." Annan decided to set off alone without much hesitation, "My magic is all first-level spells, which cannot be detected by evil eyes... Next, I will get as close to the dungeon as possible, and then summon you. "

Two epic mages, a young blue dragon, and the entire expeditionary force... there will never be anyone who cannot be saved in a surprise attack.

Dean Blehim did not refuse, and agreed to wait here, applying the interconnected advanced spell detection technique and advanced invisibility technique to Annan - the former would cancel the spell when activated to prevent Annan from being discovered by the evil eye.

Annan set off alone, approaching the old royal capital along the desolate and burned farmland, using collapsed farmhouses as cover.

Scattered ratmen are scattered in this area, but they are more dangerous than the rat tide - because groups of elite ratmen in formation patrol outside the old royal capital.

From early morning to afternoon, Annan, who had bypassed all the elite ratmen, rested temporarily under the broken eaves and broken walls of a farm. When he was about to continue setting off, he saw a silhouette wearing a mage's robe standing in the open space.

Annan almost thought it was a living person... But how could there be a clean mage here?

After confirming that the invisibility spell was still in effect, Annan wanted to avoid the weird silhouette.

"Annan?"

At this time, the "Mage" raised his head, and a breathtakingly beautiful face appeared.

Annan's tense nerves relaxed, showing joy, and emerged from the shadows: "How do you know I'm here?"

Annan did hold on to some hope... after discovering that the ratmen surrounding the capital were all Stun rats.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Long time no see..." Maria's clear eyes were full of complexity: "I saw you in the Eye of Evil. You shouldn't be here..."

"I'm here to save people..."

Annan used his unique judgment to confirm that Maria was still on his side, and with the joy of reunion, he told her the plan to sneak into the old capital of Princess Seles.

"What can you do?"

"……you ask me?"

Annan's black eyes suddenly became sharp: "Is there anyone else here?"

"...Don't use magic." Maria was silent for a while.

Just as Dean Blehim had speculated, the Rat Man had been keeping an eye on the old royal capital.

"Can you take me into the old royal capital?"

"It's full of Skaven now, and you'll be found."

"How about turning me into a rat-man?"

Maria seemed to have thought of something and smiled: "You will be targeted because you are too charming."

"What about pretending to be a devil?"

But on the surface, demons and ratmen are in alliance, but in fact they are also fighting back and forth - after all, it is reasonable for demons to grab ratmen and feed them to their mouths when they are hungry. Ratmen will not covet demons when they are hungry, but they will covet the value of demons' iron. .

"What about you? What happened after we separated? And did you receive my New Year's gift?"

"received."

When Maria told her story, it was not a moving experience. The Steen clan is destined to be filled with betrayal, killing, hatred and all negative emotions.

A few months is already a long time in the short life of a rat man...so long that many unforgettable things will be forgotten, covered by the nature of the rat man.

Maria stood in the shadow of the broken wall, looking at Annan who was defenseless and standing in the sun with his back to her, and remembered his purpose...and identity.

The fingers hanging by the dagger twitched slightly. If you catch him, you can take another step forward and become a big shot like your younger brother...

Annan suddenly turned around and put a knitted grass ring on Maria's head.

"Actually, I learned about flower garlands, but you rat people eat everything."

Annan and the awakened Maria chuckled.

Smile is an emotion that transcends age, gender, and race. Annan's smile at this time contains the joy of reunion, appreciation of beauty, and care.

Maria stayed there, and Annan thought she was not used to being close to her yet: "...If you really can't bear it, come to my place with your brother. You can start a new life here."

Maria was used to hearing vicious curses and death curses, but never anything like this.

"...Princess Seles is very important to you?" Maria suddenly asked something else.

"Actually, I haven't been with you for a long time, but she has helped me... If you are in danger, I will come to save you."
