A strange world

Chapter 842 Chapter 73. The Story of Broken Tooth

"It is a rat-man who grew up in the north... Like all slave rats, it is driven by the inferior instincts of rat-men and only knows how to eat and poop..."

Guests in the tavern rarely heard stories about rat people as the protagonists, and they listened to them with gusto, but in Annan's eyes, they were a bit rare and ordinary. He also thought that the bard's story was the dynamics of the Skaven in the North.

What kind of business is this?

"...The Thirteenth High King implemented the Alien Order in all human empires. Not long after, it was discovered by a group of mercenaries. As a rat man, it should have died like a wild dog in the wild. The irony is that , because the rat man is also a foreign race, and he survived because of the alien order and was captured in the dungeon. "

"It has met many races in the dungeon. No matter whether they are enemies or friends outside, here, they are all prisoners of humans. The alien races have abandoned their emotions outside, and it has learned a common language while living with them day and night."

"Originally they are useless, because they are just the achievements of officials. One day in the future, they will be taken out and hanged as stepping stones for promotion... until that day comes."

"A deputy warden who called himself Young Master Olme appeared in the dungeon. He told the aliens that he would rescue them..."

Annan sat up a little straighter, unaware that the bard was telling his own story.

But this still has nothing to do with business.

"Some alien prisoners believe it, some don't believe it, it doesn't think anything. Ideas are a luxury item for slave rats. But the deputy warden did it. He improved the living environment of the prisoners and asked the guards to clean the house. , and finally rescued them from the dungeon. Although there was an alien rebellion during the period, a small number of people still chose to believe that Olme was just right, and it happened to be inside. "

At this time, the deputy warden revealed his identity: He said he was the King of the North and the owner of Star Moon Bay, Annan Reeves.

The guests' eyes were all focused on Annan, with applause and cheers mixed in.

At this time, Annan realized that the protagonist of the bard's story was Broken Tooth...

But isn’t Broken Tooth in Hell Mountain?

The bard continued to speak after the applause subsided, telling in detail that Broken Tooth followed Annan back to Xingyue Bay, fell in the North, and then came to Liberty City... It was as if he was a transparent person watching Broken Tooth's life.

Annan's feeling of déjà vu became even stronger, but looking at the bard's face, he confirmed that he had never seen him before...

If only it was a woman, I would definitely never forget it.

When the bard talked about Hell Mountain, Annan sat up. Because it told more about what happened in Hell Mountain than Annan did - especially when they retreated underground, Broken Tooth took the opportunity to run out, mix in the rat tide, and rescued a boy, escorting him all the way to the north. Great Wall.

Guests who knew that the story was "adapted from true events" cheered for Broken Tooth.

Annan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Is it on the Great Wall of the North now?"

He was already thinking about how to reward Broken Tooth. citizenship? It already is. Publish the Voice of Liberty? This is what was meant to be...

How about letting it form a team of Skaven in its own name? There are a lot of ratmen in the north. Even if only one of ten thousand ratmen can communicate, its huge technology is enough to raise an army.

There might even be a chance to become the fifth Skaven Legion after the Guards Legion, the Hellfire Legion, the Musketeers Legion, and the newly established Foreign Aid Legion.

"It and the boy lie in the wilderness behind the Great Wall of the North."

All Annan's beautiful imaginations disappeared with the bard's words.

There was silence in the tavern, Annan stared at him deeply: "What do you mean?"

"It was dead, dead like a wild dog."

"Why?"

"The frontline commander of the Orr Empire thought it was a spy and a deserter, and executed it and the boy... But at least at the end of its life, it found its own value." The bard sang in an aria.

"City Lord Annan, do you like this story?"

"How did you know?"

As Annan's voice became cold, Luo Xi standing next to Annan was like a sharp sword, full of sharpness.

The bard stroked the lute: "It doesn't matter."

"Look at him."

Annan and Losey said, stood up and answered the gazes of the tavern guests: "It's called Broken Tooth, as you can see... it is a hero. But some people have erased its achievements and slandered it as a spy and a deserter... "

"I'll give it an explanation."

The tavern guests were equally indignant, and even went to the recruitment office together to sign up, hoping to beat the Orr Empire on the front lines.

Annan returned to the city lord's palace and asked Olmedo to investigate at all costs. He poured several bottles of magic potion into his mouth and opened the portal.

It was not the agreed time to open the door. After a while, Femi rushed back underground.

"Lord Annan, what happened?"

Annan's expression looked even more solemn than theirs.

Annan told the bard's story to Femi. Femi was slightly startled and said that Broken Tooth did leave during the melee, but he didn't know what happened after he left.

"Is Ilimoyas still there? Entrust her to go to the Great Wall of the North. I need to confirm."

With that said, Annan threw Mr. Swarovski's amulet to Femi and said, "Give it to Ilimoyas."

Just in case the Orr Empire wants to kill people and silence them.

"What are we going to do?" Fermi asked.

"You are at war and nominally obeying the Orr Empire's orders, so I will not drag you back for the time being and continue to hold on to the camp." Annan said.

He waited in the office for several hours, and the fluctuations in the portal suddenly appeared.

Swaro appears in the office. He seemed to have gone there in person, with a straight face but no anger... because the mage's hands behind him held the outlines of two figures, one large and one small, covered with mage robes.

Annan walked up to the two silhouettes in silence and opened the mage's robe.

The dead rat man no longer looked as ferocious as when he was alive, and looked like a big rat... while the strange boy seemed to be sleeping soundly, with only mud on his face.

"How could they do this..." Annan murmured.

"This is the nobility." Mr. Swaro said.

The history of the rise of mankind is the history of the aristocracy, and the history of the aristocracy is the history of their exploitation.

With blood as the hub, the family uses its gathered strength to gain status and wealth, then monopolizes it and claims to be the master of the common people.

This makes the arrogance of nobles deep-rooted, the older they are, the more so.

Not everyone is as tolerant as the Olmedo family. It is rare for nobles to kill civilians - even the Olmedo family has an Augusta who was corrupted by the rat men and attacked the King of the North.

As an upstart in their eyes, Annan was half one of their own, half a thorn in their side.
