Chapter 46 Sewer War
The girl transformed in front of everyone, instantly causing a commotion in the hotel.
Because when a lycanthrope begins to transform, it often means attacking and killing.
The soldier immediately raised his shield and stood in front of his master. His muscles tensed up, ready to kill all these dangerous little werewolves at any time.
However, the girl who calls herself Fangus is not like most werewolves who cannot suppress the wild nature in her heart once she transforms. Instead, she quickly changes back to her human form.
She ignored the looks around her that were full of hostility, or some with disgust and fear, and said to herself: "As you can see, we are all werewolves from the same clan.
As for why? Suddenly leaving the sewers and coming to the surface...
Of course it's because our home was destroyed by those damn ratmen!
They didn't know where they got a lot of silver-plated weapons and arrows. Ya, suddenly launched a sneak attack on us
Although we resisted desperately, the number of enemies was too great
In less than half an hour, all the adults in the clan were killed.
Only we minors took advantage of the chaos and escaped. "
"Ratman? Sneak attack? Lots of silver-plated weapons and arrows? ”
Zuo Si instantly caught a few key words.
Although the girl’s description was very simple, he still found something unusual in it.
First, the Rat Man is a relatively "peaceful" lycanthrope.
Even when he completely loses his rationality on a full moon night, he rarely attacks others.
Second, silver, as one of the most special precious metals in the magical world, can cause great harm to demons, devils and lycanthropes.
Normally speaking, a ratman who is a lycanthrope should never hold a large number of silver-plated weapons.
This is as ironic as the "dragon-slaying sword" often appearing in the dragon's lair in the game.
Third, the number of ratmen who launched the sneak attack was very large. It was obviously an organized and premeditated action, and it was not a crime committed by a small gang of more than a dozen or dozens of people.
To sum up, something big and unknown must have happened in the sewer.
Just as Zuo Si was about to ask for further details, he suddenly saw the leader of the Thieves Guild, Apke, walking in from outside with four bodyguards.
"Abandoned people?"
When the fat bald man saw these children in ragged clothes and exuding the unique stench of sewers, he immediately showed his undisguised disgust. disgust.
But before he could wave to the bodyguards to chase them away, Zuo Si smiled and said: "You came just in time. I just got some amazing news from these children. Maybe you will be interested."
< br>"Oh? What's the news?"
Apke pretended to show a hint of interest on his plump face.
He obviously didn't think that a group of lowly "abandoned" children could provide any useful information, but he just said it directly because he didn't feel good about it.
But Zuo Si didn't care and said to himself: "A large group of ratmen equipped with silver-plated weapons raided the territory of a werewolf clan and drove out all adult werewolves. According to Calim Port With the scale of the Thieves Guild, this should be called an underground war, right?”
"What?!"
Apke, who was nonchalant one second, suddenly changed his mind the next second.
He then turned around and winked at the bodyguards.
The latter rushed into the hotel without saying a word, and drove all the guests out of the hall in an extremely rude manner. Even the boss and waiters were pushed into the kitchen.
After completing the "clearance", the shrewd leader of the Thieves Guild sat down on the wooden chair.
The slightly old chair undoubtedly endured a weight that far exceeded its own limit, and it suddenly made an overwhelmed creaking sound.
But fortunately, it didn't fall apart after all. After gently moving his huge buttocks, Apke asked in a very serious tone: "When did this attack occur? Who is the leader of those rat men?"
The girl obviously didn't know whether to answer or not, and turned her attention to Zuo Si, the only one willing to fill her stomach with food.
Zuo Si nodded directly and encouraged: "It doesn't matter, just say it. If the information you provide is accurate enough, the Excellency next to me will not be stingy with rewards."
"That's right! Tell me what happened in the sewer?" Apke urged impatiently.
If Zuo Si hadn't been present, he would have asked his bodyguards to arrest all these "little wolf cubs" first, then lock them up in a dark dungeon and torture them, using whips and various torture methods to pry open their mouths. .
As the leader of the Thieves Guild, this guy looks like he is smiling and harmless all day long.
But in fact, there is no shortage of coldness, cruelty, and cunning in his heart.
However, he doesn’t like to show these things like other colleagues, and even regards it as a hobby.
Apke feels that using violence too frequently will not only fail to make others feel fearful and frightened, but may also have the opposite effect.
Real violence should be like a whip raised high, it will have the greatest deterrent effect only before it falls.
Once it falls and hits the body, it is just a simple pain.
Only when necessary, this fat bald man will show his most ferocious side.
The girl did not notice Apke's dangerous eyes, gritted her teeth and said in a tone full of hatred: "The attack happened four days ago.
I don't know the name of the Skaven leader.
But he has very obvious characteristics, that is, he is blind in one eye, only half of his tail is left, and there is a small gap in his left ear.
I heard from the adults that as early as last month, there were rumors in the sewers that other clans were attacked by rat men.
They must want to completely eliminate us and then turn the sewers into their own kingdom. "
"How about it? What do you think of after listening to these words? "Zuo Si asked meaningfully.
Apke touched his chin and fell into deep thought, but quickly replied with a sneer: "It seems that I am not the only one in Calimport preparing for the upcoming guild war."
"In other words, the Ratman's unusual actions were supported by other guild leaders. They reached some kind of cooperation agreement?"
Zuo Si immediately heard the subtext that the other party wanted to express.
He was curious about what scale this so-called "guild war" could reach.
Is it like the gangsters in the movie, where hundreds or even thousands of people gather together to fight?
Or do they send assassins to each other to assassinate important personnel of the other party, or sabotage their illegal money-making business?
Why did the ruler of Calimport allow these thieves guilds to fight?
Aren’t you afraid of raising Gu to raise a super giant force and then usurp the throne?
Or is it that these thieves guilds are tools for the upper-class nobles to play for power?
Due to the complex and chaotic power structure of Calim Port, Zuo Si felt that it was not impossible even if there was a huge and unknown force behind it secretly controlling it.
Of course, he didn't really care what the city would eventually become.
I just feel that I should be able to do something with the upcoming war between the thieves guilds.
After all, an important source of mana is killing!
And in the sewers of Calimport, there are thousands of ratmen who are causing trouble.
These guys often rush into the slums at night, capture some innocent poor people and take them back to their lair.
Then they spread the disease of lycanthropy through biting, and forcibly transform the other party into a member of their own group.
If there is a chance, Zuo Si would not mind doing a "rat eradication" operation at all.
