Alien world

Chapter 320 173. Dialogue at the Farm

"Can we clear up the misunderstanding now?"

"There is no misunderstanding, only my failure again."

"Mr. Swallow, is that so?" Annan and the epic mage said, "I remember that we discovered the traces of the rat man priest, followed it to the outskirts of the farm, found the rat man's lair, and prepared to wipe them all out, but Run away by a powerful person named Maria... right?"

Mr. Swallow did not answer, Maria looked at Annan: "You want me to betray the clan?"

"I just want you to be safe."

Mr. Swallow quietly grasped the staff.

Maria was silent for a while, and stopped staring at Annan: "There are still some rat people outside."

Annan cooperatively opened the portal, and said to the large elements that appeared: "There are ratmen in this underground, find them and deal with them."

Talking about killing its people in front of a race, most major races would not accept it, including the green-skinned orcs, with the exception of demons and ratmen.The former will kill with you, and the latter will wait to eat the corpse of your companion.

"Is your injury serious?"

Annan frowned to observe Maria's condition.Her gray robe was undamaged, covering a moving figure.

"That's a punishment for the soul."

"I came too slowly..."

Mr. Swallow feels that standing here is like a year. "I'm going back, get your amulet," he said with a cold snort.

Annan handed the talisman to Mr. Shivaro: "Don't tell anyone else, I'll go find Olmedo after I get out."

Swallow filled the amulet without saying a word, and stepped into the closed portal.

Only Annan and Maria remained under the dark farm, and the killing of the elements came from the caves in all directions.

"Why are you back?" Annan asked.

The departure of the umbrella did not allow Maria to attack Annan: "Because of the new mission."

"What mission?"

"I do not know."

"Then are you related to the McCann Ratman?"

"I don't know," Maria said, "I'm Ma'am, and I just need to carry out orders."

The order was to sneak into Breeze City again.

"Then you will return to the clan next? Or continue to order?" Annan issued an invitation: "I hope you stay... You didn't lie when you kidnapped me. As long as you are willing, I can open up a place for the Ratman in Xingyue Bay." settlement."

"I want to go back to the Holy Race."

"Why? The Ratmen can no longer manipulate you..."

However, according to the Ratman, "the Rat God sealed off the gods so that the thirteen clans could launch holy wars against all races."

"My people are still in the Hive Capital."

"Okay, what can I do for you? Like pick them up?"

"That's enough." Annan's attitude made Maria unable to maintain her resentment, and she vented, "I'm sorry for treating you like that just now..."

"It's all right." Annan shook his intact palm, "And I also ruined your plan before, so let's make it even."

"it is good."

At this time, Maria did not have the arrogance and charm of the countess, but it was not bad.

"Are there any other rat nests in Breeze City?" Annan suddenly thought of something, "You don't mind if I pull them out, do you? That way it won't be so abrupt for you to go back with some escaped ratmen."

"The map is at the farm."

"Then let's go up."

After stepping over the corpses of the rat people, Annan and Maria returned to the ground.

Broken clouds obscured the moon and made the stars clear.The Breeze City in the distance exudes a hazy light.

The empty farmhouse was pitch black.The place has just been temporarily abandoned due to the end of the autumn harvest, and the homeless and refugees have not had time to move into their "new homes".The brighter environment than the dark underground allowed Annan to capture Maria's mouse ears and tail.Staring at the wagging tail, Annan slowly stretched out his hand.

Maria stopped and Annan nearly ran into her.

Squeak -- crunch --

Maria pushed open the old wooden door and stepped on the rattling wooden boards, disturbing the silent and empty room filled with dust.Go up to the attic and pick up a magic newspaper that Annan is familiar with.

Charcoal drawings in newspapers are like children's scribbles, and no one would associate them with maps.

"Compare it with the map of Breeze City."

The attic was dark, and Annan held the magic newspaper and opened the window to observe the graffiti through the brief moonlight.

He exposed his back to Maria unpreparedly.

"You are different from other humans."

Maria's whispers echoed in the attic, and Annan didn't turn his head back: "What's the point?"

Graffiti In addition to the farm under his feet, there are two rat nests, which should be west and east of Breeze City.

Putting away the magic newspaper, Annan turned back to Maria in a relaxed manner and said, "Go back first, and don't let the Ratman see you with me."

"Get rid of that rat man. It's going to be your problem," Maria said.

"Don't worry, it is already a resident of Xingyue Bay."

"...idiot." Maria suddenly spat out a cold whisper: "What do you think the Ratmen are? They are the most vicious existence in the world, they hate all races, they are greedy and cowardly, irritable and untrustworthy, they are the most rotten Silt, only follow the will of Chaos and the Rat God...Why do you think the Rat Man will become like you?"

"Because a ratman friend of mine said something similar to you. Now she is a dark elf." Annan looked at her seriously.

Broken clouds blocked the moon, making Annan's words lack of foil.

"We say of orcs that they are brash and rude, with only battle on their minds. We say of elves that they are haughty and cold and indifferent to the outside world. We say of dwarves that they are stubborn and strong and stay in the mines and smithies. And when they say men, they say they're short and weak."

"When I first came here, I learned about a secret society. That society has a lofty idea—to integrate all races, and even the chaotic demons in that society will send lost little boys home."

"I've seen the calmest ogres, the wisest orcs, and the most naughty... enthusiastic elves. Why can't the ratmen?"

"Because 'all things belong to the Horned Rat,' the Rats were born to him and died to him."

The broken clouds parted and the moonlight shone into the attic.

Maria stood in the shadow of the attic, and Annan stood in the silver moonlight, dividing them into two worlds.

"It lost touch."

"But he will come back."

"Then make it impossible to come back." Annan, dressed in the hazy moonlight, said: "I used to want no one to suffer in Xingyue Bay, but now I want Xingyue Bay to be a safe haven for all races."

"I remember your words, Annan..." Maria retreated into the darkness little by little, "I look forward to seeing you again."

Annan bids farewell to a friend who should be an enemy:
"At that time, Xingyue Bay will become what I said it would be."
