Alien world

Chapter 143 142. Escape
The mage left from the lookout window and went to the warm fireplace.

He and his companion who replaced him complained: "Damn the weather... It's so cold in September. I heard that the kingdom is going to build a city here? I can't think of anyone who would go to live in such a ghostly place..."

This complaint caused many people in Breeze City to laugh, but some mages frowned.

It's not a mage to wear a blanket to keep warm by the fireplace, and at that time, the mage tower didn't have a constant temperature spell?After you go back, you have to read the information carefully...

The mage who leaned over to the lookout window frowned, staring carefully at the darkness outside the window with his face reflected - the gathering place of bright fire was spreading and extinguishing.

"Elk?"

The companion's call sounded from behind, and he continued to stare solemnly at a bonfire in front of the approaching darkness. There were still a few figures around the bonfire. They seemed to have noticed an abnormality in the distance, and stood up to look at the spreading darkness. The next moment, the darkness Swallowed them and the fire, and the mage also saw countless moving shadows in an instant.

"Rat wave! Rat wave is coming!!!"

The mage let out a roar that made countless audiences stand on end, knocked over the tables and chairs and rushed out of the observation room.

clang - clang - clang -

The rapid bell rang above the mage tower, and a beam of light cut through the night sky, suddenly illuminating the night sky around the mage tower.

Countless ratmen rushed towards the mage tower like a tide, causing the theater to scream in horror and chaos, and even a nobleman wanted to escape, causing even greater chaos before a lucid spell restored his composure.

Olmedo looked at his father at this moment, "Father...do you remember three days ago?"

Augusta continued to look at the rat wave approaching the mage tower on the magic image: "What do you want to say?"

"I went to my mother's tombstone a few days ago and saw a bunch of flowers..."

Augusta remained silent, and Olmedo continued to ask: "You still miss her, but why..."

A guard who ran in with his head down interrupted him, and turned to Augusta next to him cryptically: "My lord, the convoy of the King of the North was attacked by ratmen last night..."

Olmedo's eyes narrowed.

"Sorry father, I have to leave first."

Olmedo followed the guards to leave the seat, and the guards came to the exit.

"There's another piece of news from Pinglin Town..." the guard was worried, "the team that followed Master Annan appeared there, Javier was also there, they said...the master is the murderer who attacked the team, and..."

Olmedo looked in surprise in the front row, where his father was still sitting quietly, gazing at the magical image.

"What else?"

This loyal confidant of Olmedo was trembling with fear because of what he said next: "They found that the underground of Breeze City was eaten by ratmen... Young master, could it be a misunderstanding?"

But Olmedo thought of the clues collected earlier, Annan's guard against his father, and his father's disappearance last night...

"Tell the Mage Tower and the Scavenger about this, the whole city is under martial law, and...the theater is closed."

Olmedo looked around the entire theater, the nobles were unaware of what was about to happen, and in the magic image, the rat tide flooding into the hall splashed a rat man like a wave, and landed among the crowd on the second floor .

The nobles on the magic image fled in panic, but they didn't know that this scene happened in reality. Would the people here be exposed to the same ugliness?
……

"...This is the truth as I see it."

At the exit of the dungeon, Annan told the rescued companions the truth: "The rat people are hollowing out the underground of Breeze City, and they are very close to success."

Attacking the King of the North, tampering with the magic circuit of the mage tower, covering the countess to harass Breeze City, these are all bait thrown out to divert the attention of humans from digging, which the Ratman is best at, and make the scavengers feel complacent in seeing through the conspiracy...

But the real catastrophe is under everyone's feet.

"We must send the news up!" the guard captain growled, his pupils filled with betrayal and fear.

"How do we get out?" the weak deputy head of the mercenary regiment leaned against the rock wall and asked.

Except for the elf mentor, the reckless Reynolds and the centurion, those companions who died on the night of the rat tide, and the injured who died of serious injuries due to the handling and harsh environment, the rest of the people were successfully rescued.

The rock top that Annan and the elf ranger saw was at least [-] meters high. They were entangled by the Weakness Technique, and they needed each other's support even to walk.

"I have a way to get you to leave...You guys are waiting for me here."

Annan walked into the dungeon alone, holding the dragon skin in his pocket, and released a low-level summoning technique in the depths of the dungeon that no one knew about.

Just like when Augusta Olmedo suppressed Annan's reputation, he would not have thought that he would use magic images, nor would he have thought that the low-level summoning technique that can summon blue dragons could be used as a portal.

But before Annan wants everyone to escape from the crack, he needs to resolve the contract that binds him and prevents him from exposing the existence of the blue dragon.

A blue dragon appeared on the other side of the rift.

"...Where are you, human?" The air drifting from the crack made the blue dragon want to breathe out the dragon's breath to purify it.

"Let's say it's the Ratman's Lair... Can you feel my corruption?"

Perhaps the time is too short for the blue dragon to perceive.Annan briefly described the current situation, and then asked Blue Dragon: "I need to let them return to Pinglin Town safely."

The streamlined, graceful and majestic dragon head approached the crack and was about to protrude: "You should know the consequences of the contract disappearing..."

Annan raised his head and smiled gently: "True friendship does not need a contract to maintain."

Two minutes later, Annan returned to meet everyone's gaze: "I entrusted my friend to help. It can let you leave, but I don't want you to expose its existence."

Everyone swore, and Annan led them to a strange and irregular portal. On the other side of the crack, a blue dragon was entrenched on a bare rock pile.

"Hurry up, Zhao... the portal will last for about 7 minutes."

They didn't suspect him, and went through the portal one after another.During the period, Annan released the low-level summoning technique again, and the enlarged crack allowed the ogre to barely squeeze through.

There are only a few mages with weird expressions, they have never seen such a portal...

"After leaving the haunted gold mine, go to Pinglin Town and find Mr. Fast in the Dawn Tavern. He will help you." Annan told them.

"Aren't you with us?" Guido Rona, the sweeper, found that Annan hadn't come yet.

Annan shook his head: "I will stay here."

The elf ranger told everyone the cruel truth: "Annan's consciousness has been corrupted."

The edge of the rift was no longer stable, and Annan asked the remaining people to speed up and drill into the rift.

The ogre who carried the bones and got out finally said suddenly: "Why are your mage robe and magic ring still there? This is a question worth thinking about."

Annan expressed his memory, and finally looked at the pair of vertical pupils.

"The cost this time—"

"One kinnar, each." Annan replied.

"...Give it to me with your own hands, human being."

The glimmer of light in the crack was annihilated, and darkness and silence shrouded Annan again.
