The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low profile

Old Town District, Rooke Street.

An old, yet still rather luxurious and spacious noble carriage, was parked by the side of the road.

From Golo Street in the New Town District to Rooke Street in the Old Town District, a half-hour journey took Zorn a full two hours.

Mainly because Zorn deliberately had the coachman, old Nero, take a detour, and he got out of the carriage twice to learn about the streets he passed.

Experiencing the current state of Oglan City firsthand would allow him to better prepare for various upcoming plans.

While resting with his eyes closed, combining the plans in his mind with what he had learned about the market, Zorn already had several good investment plans.

Of course, all of this was conditional on having some startup capital.

The funds of just over one hundred gold pounds in the manor were clearly not enough.

Today, that treasure deep in the sewers was the precious startup capital, and he couldn't afford to lose it.

With Zorn's current strength alone, although it was possible, it would be somewhat risky, and there was even a risk of failure.

But with the help of the extraordinary "Rat Catcher" who was extremely familiar with the sewers of Oglan City, it would be much safer.

Most importantly, the asking price of these rat catchers who were at the bottom of society was often not very high, which would be a very cost-effective deal.

Before long, footsteps approached from outside.

Then the carriage door opened, led by the butler, Grank.

Two rat catchers entered the carriage.

The relatively spacious carriage still had plenty of room even with four people sitting in it.

On the left side opposite him was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a thick felt hat, with a fleece jacket inside, a rough-collared coat outside, and leggings and black rubber waterproof boots on his lower body.

This outfit could protect against moisture in the cold and humid sewers, wade through shallow water, and resist the bites of mutated gray rats.

Beneath his rough eyebrows, a pair of eyes were filled with doubt and deep wariness amidst calmness.

The experienced rat catcher maintained sufficient alertness regarding a noble's sudden invitation.

He was well aware of the huge gap between the rat catchers at the bottom of society and the nobles at the top.

The other rat catcher boy of similar age to Zorn, who was traveling with him, had similar attire.

But this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was more curious and uneasy about everything in front of him.

When he saw the clean, neatly dressed black dress suit, like a noble boy who had stepped out of an artistic oil painting.

The identity of the rat catcher and poverty made him feel like a rat in the sewer, wanting to find a place to crawl into. His inferiority complex made him a little overwhelmed, and even the amplitude of his breathing was suppressed as much as possible.

Zorn in the carriage sized up the rat catcher boy of similar age to him with some interest.

Although the boy in front of him seemed a little uneasy and slightly embarrassed.

But Zorn knew.

This rat-catching boy named "Isaac Adolf" was the future [Legendary God Hunter].

His fame would spread to every corner of the continent.

On the Saint Mark continent, the [Plague Evil Rat], which caused a terrible plague disaster, was hunted and exterminated by him.

Some not-so-powerful evil spirits would tremble in fear just hearing the name of the [God Hunter].

Of course, if following Zorn Crick's previous trajectory.

Isaac Adolf would participate in the hunting and crusade against the "Evil Spirit Wizard" at the appropriate time node, and deal a heavy blow to the big BOSS Evil Spirit Wizard.

There was no doubt that the two people's fate trajectories had an inevitable intersection.

However, the future [Legendary God Hunter] was now just a weak boy.

And the future big BOSS Evil Spirit Wizard, a part of a certain evil god, was also just starting out.

This time, Zorn's target was not this rat-catching boy who was not yet an extraordinary person, but the experienced rat catcher in his thirties, the apprentice boy's guide and teacher, "Bevis Ackerman".

A person who truly mastered the extraordinary sequence [Rat Catcher].

After a moment, Zorn broke the silence in the carriage and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Bevis, I need to go to the 'Blue Fluorescent Moss' area deep in the sewers to find some things."

"Recently, gray rats have been rampant in the depths of the sewers, and I have heard many dangerous rumors."

"For example, rats as big as medium-sized dogs, they are violent, cruel, and will push some homeless people and drunkards into the depths of the sewers to eat them."

"They will also target young children, and steal babies by following the sound, as food."

"They will even simulate the mating calls of female cats to attract stray cats and then torture them to death."

"From these rumors, we can see the danger of those terrible sewer rats."

"So, I hope you can escort me."

"After it's done, you will receive a reward of five gold pounds!"

Bevis's deep pupils under his rough eyebrows contracted slightly.

Five gold pounds may not be much to the nobles, but to them rat catchers, it was an irresistible reward.

The Oglan City Hall had raised the recycling price of giant gray rats due to the rat infestation, which made the rat catchers' lives a little better, but only a little better.

50 to 100 copper Leons a day, which was between one silver dragon and two silver dragons.

This was the income for the two of them spending a whole day in the sewers.

And one gold pound was worth 20 silver dragons.

5 gold pounds would take the two of them three or four months to earn without eating or drinking.

"Blue Fluorescent Moss Area?"

A look of serious thought appeared on Bevis Ackerman's face.

"That is a very large area. If you can provide some more detailed information, perhaps... we can save a lot of time."

Upon hearing this, Zorn took out an ordinary piece of parchment and handed it over.

Bevis Ackerman opened it and examined it for a moment, then he raised his head again to look at the noble boy in front of him who was about the same age as his apprentice.

"I think I know the specific location, even... we can enter from the nearest entrance."

Drawn on the parchment was the emblem pattern of two snakes entwined around each other, which was the abandoned underground area of the destroyed evil god organization "Sun Twin Snakes".

And that was where the treasure was hidden.

............

A quarter of an hour later.

Following the somewhat rusty sewer handrail, they arrived at the sewer.

An unspeakable stench, rotten, pungent, viscous aura assaulted their faces.

After all, he was an old player. Zorn used to do a lot of gray rat catching missions in this sewer.

In addition, he himself was a [Star Mark · Fighter] sequence, and his adaptability was inherently strong.

After a moment, Zorn adapted to the environment here.

The young rat catcher Isaac skillfully opened the lantern and lit it.

The hand-held lamp with reflective glass gathered the orange light, illuminating the darkness ahead like a flashlight.

This was a standard underground drainage channel.

In the middle was a six to seven-foot-wide drainage channel, with foot-wide sidewalks on both sides.

A long time ago, this underground channel was a place where residents could be sheltered when Oglan City resisted the invasion of gray fog.

With the development of the times, the threat of gray fog invasion no longer existed.

The underground passage was also abandoned.

It became the city's sewage channel.

Rat catcher Bevis Ackerman glanced at the noble boy beside him, he was a little surprised.

You know, let alone nobles, even ordinary people can hardly tolerate the dirty and disgusting smell in the sewers.

And the noble boy in front of him actually acted as if nothing had happened.

For a time, he became more certain of the guess in his heart.

Dipping some sewage from the sewer ditch with one hand, Bevis quickly drew a summoning ritual array with a hexagram as the base in front of him, and then placed one hand on it, chanting a spell.

The obscure and awkward spell echoed in the dark and cold sewer, like a ghost.

A cloud of shadow and black mist supported rat catcher Bevis's palm.

Rats the size of small dogs, with green eyes and shiny fur, quickly crawled out of the shadow and black mist and squeaked.

And there was more than one rat, a total of three before and after.

"Contract Spirit Rat?"

Zorn raised his eyebrows slightly.

This was a good extraordinary ability. Although the combat ability of the contract spirit rat was average, they were agile and light, had extremely strong sense of smell and hearing, and had the ability to pass through walls and holes, and eavesdrop on intelligence information.

These seemingly inconspicuous abilities could play a big role in some cases.

The Contract Spirit Rat was one of the quite good abilities in the [Rat Catcher] sequence.

The noble boy's voice made Bevis Ackerman raise his head slightly.

Before, he felt that this noble boy was extraordinary, and now it seemed that he was indeed an extraordinary person.

Extraordinary?

The rat-catching apprentice Isaac couldn't help but be startled.

The envy in his heart lingered as his eyes swept over the handsome, elegant noble.

From his teacher, he knew that extraordinary people possessed incredible abilities.

He had always wanted to become an extraordinary person, but the teacher's answer was always the same.

"Isaac, you are not ready yet!"

Such an answer made him frustrated and discouraged every time.

Zorn was noncommittal about Bevis's statement.

Hiding one's identity and sequence as much as possible was one of the things that extraordinary people needed to do.

He squinted his eyes and looked into the dark depths where the contract spirit rat was opening the way.

"Mr. Bevis, can you talk about the rumors about the [Rat King]?"

"Rat King?"

Bevis, who was leading the way, frowned slightly.

"Some time ago, some rat catchers said that they saw giant rats like large hounds in the depths of the underground, dragging homeless people who were wailing for mercy into the sewers."

"Since then, the news about the man-eating Rat King has spread."

"At the same time, in other locations, rat catchers have said that their rat traps have been deliberately destroyed."

"I'm not sure if there really is a [Rat King]."

"But from these rumors, it seems that there are indeed intelligent giant rats."

"We better pray that we don't encounter that terrible big guy."

While explaining, Bevis had already moved forward into the depths of the sewer passage.

"Don't encounter it?"

Zorn's pupils narrowed slightly, and the smile that outlined the corner of his mouth was faint.

"Sorry, our destination is the nest of the [Rat King]."

"The current [Rat King] is only level one, it is the weakest time, and it is easy to deal with."

"Once the rat plague breaks out, the [Rat King] completes its transformation and promotion, and masters powerful forbidden power, then we will not be able to deal with it."

Under the leadership of Bevis, the three constantly encountered rats.

Sometimes one or two, sometimes three or five.

The big ones were the size of house cats.

However, under the slingshot of the apprentice Isaac, these rats quickly became trophies.

When they stepped into a relatively wide sewer passage.

Large patches of blue fluorescent moss appeared in front of Zorn.

The place of treasure, here it is!
