Alien world

Chapter 142. 141. "Starry Sky"

In the depths of the dark cave, a lone slave rat wields an iron pickaxe, digging the rock wall.

Annan weighed the size of the slave rat, and felt that he should be able to beat it without using spells, so he approached it with confidence.

The slave mouse was indifferent to Annan's approach, suspecting that the gouging had deafened his ears, Annan got closer and closer, and even stood beside the slave mouse holding a torch——

The dust and gravel from the falling iron pick fell on the dirty and sticky fur. The scarlet pupils were not afraid of the dark. They must have noticed Annan's approach, but they still did nothing.

"What are you doing?" Annan asked it actively.

The pickaxe-wielding skaven uttered in scraps of Common: "Jean, human bastard, die."

"I mean what is this for?"

"Let, human stuff, die."

In short a good news, a bad news: the good news is that the Rat Man will not attack Annan.

Bad news too.

Annan left the cave where the chisel sound was heard, and returned to the dungeon to find the elf ranger: "Villetus Udora, do an experiment with me."

The elf ranger was still unable to walk, and Annan helped her to the cave again. This time, before approaching, the slave mouse stopped the pickaxe and looked at Annan, or the elf, in front of the torch.

"I brought the elf stuff."

Violets Udora looked sideways.

……

Jack's heart sank gradually.

The difficulties and atmosphere of the nobles at the banquet made him feel that he did not belong here.

So does Ruth, so Jack sends her an invitation: "Want to come to a real party?"

Crowded crowds, cheap beer and smoky smoke, the low-level civilian gatherings are lively and noisy, instead of the dignified etiquette and reserved confrontation of the nobles.

Ruth soon joins the party, jumping onto the table and dancing arm in arm with Jack.The laughter and the magical images that follow the rotation make them seem to join the banquet.

But the deserted second day washed away the excitement, and the pressure from the family and fiance appeared on Ruth and the audience at the same time.

The smiling Michael turned his gaze to the auditorium.The nobles were not offended, which was good, and the ladies stared at Jack intently.Hmm...Annan's charm, even if it is a magical image, would make it hard for them to hold on?
The magical image returns to reality at this time, giving the audience immersed in the story a chance to breathe.

"But didn't the mage's tower fall that day?" the mage's apprentice asked the doubts in the hearts of many people who were not immersed in the love between Jack and Ruth. The tower was rebuilt on top of the old mage's tower..."

"Yes, just tonight..."

People's hearts were stirred, and they remembered that the name of this magical video was "The Fall of the Mage Tower"...

Hope it won't be a bad ending.

……

"Hehe... I feel... I... am becoming a rat man..."

Annan leaned against the cold rock wall, cold and pain filled his whole body——

"Consciousness corruption will not change your appearance, King of the North, your identity is still useful to the Ratmen."

"Is that so?"

Annan regained his relaxation, and the pain and discomfort disappeared.

In any case, they must seize the time to escape underground when Annan shows signs.

Let the ogre, who has regained some strength, take the skeleton first. When moving the skeleton, a still undissolved arcane missile ring rolled down from the joints.

Picking up the ring and putting it in his pocket, Annan, the ogre, and the elf ranger set off.

If this is a conspiracy, it is also a conspiracy that Annan cannot refuse.Many of Annan's companions were imprisoned in this dungeon. It was impossible for Annan to do nothing, so he had to act separately first.

The ogre stayed in the dungeon to rescue his companions, while Annan and the elf ranger cleaned up the ratmen along the way and approached the dungeon exit.

Most of the cells were their companions, and some cells only had fallen bones.Some people have already woken up, and Annan told them to wait for the time being, while rescue will follow: "We don't even know where we are."

Continue to move forward, and solve a few patrolling ratmen along the way, and they are close to the exit of the dungeon.

A few healthy ratmen in torn cloaks, worn leather armor, and missing bladed weapons were scattered at the exit.

"They're so pretty..."

Violets Udora stared strangely, and Annan quickly sobered up:

"What? Did I say something?"

……

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Jack and Rose stood on the top of the tower and embraced each other.

The beautiful singing voice draws the hearts of the audience, making people envious, yearning, and yearning.But there are also some nobles who are filled with righteous indignation - Ruth betrayed Carl, they are having an affair!
Ruth took Jack to her room and invited him to paint a portrait of herself.

When Ruth was lying on the sofa in a light gauze, under the soft light, the necklace around her neck became as beautiful as her.

"That's my necklace..."

From the corner of the back row of the theater came a voice maddened with envy: "She stole my part, and she stole my necklace!"

"Those should be mine...my necklace, my character, my Annan..."

……

"Hey, pretty little mouse."

The scarlet pupils of the Ratman guard stared at the figure deep in the dungeon.

"I'm in some trouble, beautiful mouse, can you come in and help me?"

The Ratman guard stepped towards the figure, and when they passed a protruding rock wall, the elf ranger hiding in the hollow swung his pickaxe and knocked the Ratman unconscious.

"All ratmen cleared out."

Annan, who lured the Ratman, returned to the elf ranger, took the iron pickaxe and walked out of the dungeon with her.

The echoing sound of gouging dotted the moonless starry sky.

"We're out!"

"But it's too easy," said the elf ranger.

Annan felt the same way.

Was Augusta Olmedo confident they would never escape, or did the ratmen's chaotic nature simply not care about captured humans?
The elf ranger looked up, and Annan looked around.

The Ratmen dug an open pit?

The old mage's tower mage in the dungeon indicates that this open pit is at least 300 years old...how could there be such a place around Breeze without being discovered?
Or had they been taken elsewhere and this was not the night of the attack?

"Annan, this is not a starry sky."

These stars are strange to the elven ranger.

Annan activated the magic ring.The magic ring that had been placed for hundreds of years was completely reduced to dust, and an arcane missile flew straight up, rising higher and higher, and then exploded briefly before disappearing in the invisible deep space.

Annan, who was out of sight, turned back and asked Violets Udora, "What did you see?"

Violets Udora said a rock formation, with patterned rocks, oval bases, and incomplete statues.

Annan suddenly remembered the sinking base of the old mage tower that he saw when he was writing "The Fall of the Mage Tower", and remembered the repeated "let, human thing, die" by the slave mouse.

This is the underground of Breeze City.
