Alien world

Chapter 144 143. The Perfect Premiere
The mage floating in the hall screamed and fell, and the sudden darkness made the guests who were calmed down burst into fear, and rushed to escape for their lives.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Ruth got rid of her fiancé's control, picked up the oil lamp that fell on the ground, and ran to the basement to find Jack.

A dense swell of rats permeated the basement, and a waiter was scrambling painfully back up the steps through the tide of rats drowning in his calves.

"My friend is locked in the basement..."

"I don't...I can't..."

Ruth begged him for help, but the waiter, overwhelmed with terror, shook his head to avoid her and fled to the top.

Ruth was the only one left in the basement corridor. She just took a deep breath, stepped into the rat tide that made her terrified, and called Jack's name with short breaths.

Jack, who was handcuffed to the ground and was struggling, heard the sound and responded, allowing Ruth to follow the sound to find him.

"I'm sorry, but I shouldn't have suspected you of stealing the jeweled necklace."

The reunited lovers embrace each other, and the purest love blooms in the most filthy rat tide.

The key to the shackles that locked Jack was in the tide of rats, and Ruth had to push through the tide of rats that rose to her knees, retching as she groped for the rats.

They couldn't understand how this scene was recorded... Are the rat swarms real?

Luckily, Ruth found the key, opened the shackles, and Jack and Rose grabbed each other and fled back into the hall in waist-deep rat tides.

A real wave of rats had poured into the hall from the outside of the mage tower, and the guests screamed and fled to the heights. Some mages waved their staffs clumsily at the rushing ratmen, and the ratmen threw their throats and slit their throats.

The mages frowned slightly, but thought it was reasonable that mages could not cast spells in the field of forbidden magic. Only Michael was not very happy-what is the difference between mages who do not know combat skills and magic scrolls?
Jack and Ruth fled up the stairs, and when they reached the second floor, the windows on the upper floor of the hall suddenly burst, and countless scarlet pupils poured into the hall, flooding everything in the hall.

"The Mage Tower is over..." Ruth murmured in despair.

Jack pulled her: "We have to go, Ruth."

And not long after they left, the surging tide flooded the second floor.

Jack and Rose followed the crowd up, but soon they were joined by a group of escaped guests who said the Ratmen had poured in as well.

At this time, a stone brick fell from the top of the head and shattered in front of a guest.

They looked up at the same time, and a crack was forming under the wall where the dust was falling.

"The Mage Tower is about to collapse!"

The screams from nowhere made the crowd crowded again. Jack and Ruth clung to each other tightly and continued to move with the panicked crowd. A deep pit formed by a broken gap lay in front of everyone.

The swarm of rats loomed behind him, while the front was a safe zone that had not yet been infested by the swarm of rats.To get there, they had to jump into a pit full of rats.

A mage jumped down, screamed and fell into the rat tide, struggling to swim to the other side.

"Ruth, we have to jump..."

Jack persuaded the terrified Ruth: "Remember what I said? If you dance, I will dance too."

The encouragement of her lover made Ruth pluck up the courage to jump into the rat pit with Jack, as if falling into the water and disappearing completely.

After a brief silence, Ruth's head emerged from the tide of rats, breathing heavily and shouting, "Jack! Jack!"

"Here I am! Ruth! Swim on!"

Jack's voice came from behind, and Ruth stretched her neck trying to move the rats up the steps.

After kicking away the mouse that was brought up, Jack and Ruth continued to move forward, and voices sounded behind the door panel of the next room.

Ruth slapped the door panel to ask to let them in, but Jack stopped her: "This kind of wood can't stop the mice. We need to find a stronger room."

The mage tower under their feet suddenly shook, and the violent shaking made them grab each other.

The theater audience saw the most shocking scene - the mage's tower split from it began to tilt.

In the music played by the sad musicians, they saw the elderly couple lying on the bed and embracing each other; several mages were fighting bloody with rat teeth and table knives; the woman coaxed the child on the bed.

The tower owner is like an ordinary old man, standing quietly in front of the window, watching the rat wave gather a huge wave higher than the mage tower...

……

Breeze City enters a state of martial law.

Patrolling and running city guards can be seen everywhere, residents have been driven back to their homes, scavengers have come out in full force, and the mage tower has been activated.

Olmedo led the city guards to block the theater, when his cronies rushed over: "The scavenger has confirmed the underground cavity in Breeze City. If it collapses, the entire Breeze City will be destroyed..."

"Didn't the Mage Tower stop it?"

"There is no way. The Ratmen have arranged evil energy underground, and they will be discovered by them if they get close. They have to wait for the tower master to come back."

But the tower owner obviously couldn't rush back as quickly as that night...

"My lord, we'd better move the residents out before the Rat Man reacts..."

"Annan is still underground, right?"

"I know you trust Mr. Annan, but he is only one person, and..."

"Relocating residents will only let the rat people hiding in the city know that we found them, and have you ever thought about what will happen if the rat people attack the city while we migrate?"

Olmedo reminded his frightened cronies: "Leave these problems to them. Our problem is this theater."

"My lord, what shall we do next?"

"You guys stay outside, I'm going to question him..."

Olmedo makes his way to the theater.

"Did you know... I won this invitation from a dwarf... At that time I thought it was the luckiest time of my life..."

Entering the theater, Annan on the magic image leaned against the door and said weakly:

"It's the same now, because I met you... Live, promise me... You will get rid of the shackles, and you will have a more free life..."

"promise me."

This moving image towards the end is untouched because Olmedo has seen it, and he returns to his father, past the sobbing audience.

The cronies began to quietly evacuate the nobles in the theater with soldiers.

"What do you think of this story, Father." Olmedo tried to maintain his composure.

"Novel story, wonderful idea..."

"You no longer resist the chaos that Annan will bring?"

"Every one of us changes...We measure our surroundings with our own shallow knowledge. The boy thinks that the village under his feet is the world, and the woodcutter includes the forest."

The magic lamp was gradually turned on, and the audience, who knew nothing about what happened outside, stood up and applauded without stinging their praises. Hornathan Mays clapped his hands red with tears in his eyes.

Amidst the applause, Augusta looked at the pair of eyes that originated from him and were full of complexity and sadness at the moment.

"Go ahead, boy. Don't let your determination turn into patience."
