Chapter 141 140. Annan the Rat
After winning the invitation, Jack and his companions excitedly crowded in front of the Mage Tower. After showing the invitation to the guards, they rushed into the Mage Tower hall chasing each other and nimbly in the crowd. Walking through, a few simple pictures show the prosperity of the Master Tower and the joy of the lucky people.
The viewer will only follow the picture emotionally, but Honatan Mays feels the brilliance of technique in the picture surrounding the spiral staircase going up.
When Jack rushed to the top of the mage tower and stood in front of the fence that seemed to be able to touch the sky with his hand and shouted "I am the king of the world", the audience almost compared him with the Northern Territory. The kings overlapped, and it was no longer difficult to distinguish the magical image from reality.
Jack and his companions returned to the dormitory. The scene changed to Carl, played by Olmedo, and the young Ruth. They had a dispute. Ruth, who hated the marriage from the bottom of her heart, rushed out of the room and stood there. In front of the guardrail on the second floor.
Jack, who was observing the mage tower in the lobby, saw this elegant and young girl with exquisite makeup and a complicated old-style dress.
The companion called Jack outside the magic image, but failed to call Jack's attention.
......
Annan, who was located in the dark underground, received no answer when he called. He restrained himself from exploring the mysterious corpse that led him out and returned to the right side of the cell.
The firelight shining into the cell revealed the outline of a sleeping figure dormant in the corner.
Annan picked up a stone and threw it over. The stone bounced away, and the snoring was replaced by a flash of dim eyes under the firelight.
The large water element cut open the stone pillar, and Annan asked him to stay outside and continue to destroy the stone pillar and get into the cell.
"We were caught in the dungeon by the rat men?" The ogre observed the surrounding environment.
"Well, you seem to be injured."
Annan found that it was difficult for the ogre to even get up.
"That weak art that betrayed your human epic." The ogre stared at Annan, who was safe and sound, and even three magic rings flashed under the torch, "Why are you okay?"
"I want to know too."
Augusta Olmedo did not even imprison him specially.
The large water elemental's water blade has cut through the stone fence to allow the ogre to come out, but it is too weak to get up.
But the ogre is okay, which means that more companions should have been captured into this dungeon.
Annan let the large water element condense into a ball of water element and took a sip first.
One of the unsolved mysteries: water element can indeed be drunk.
Give the remaining water to the ogre, Annan continued to explore to the right while the large water element had not disappeared and the torch had not been extinguished, but the rock formation blocked him.
This is the end of the dungeon.
Finally, let the water element condense into a piece of water element, rely on buoyancy to let the ogre stand up, and they leave the cell.
Annan returned to the cell outside the corpse. Annan stopped here and told the ogre to take him out.
"Would you eat rotten apple pie?" the ogre protested against this prejudice.
"Just take him out of here." Annan told the ogre what had just happened.
The ogre doesn't know the reason either, it's just philosophy rather than erudition.
"Then you stay here and stare at it while I go explore ahead."
The ogre was too conspicuous, and too weak to be of any help.
The torch swayed weakly, and Annan came to the fourth cell before it went out, but before he could see the outline inside clearly, a new fire appeared in front.
Annan was forced to retreat, luring the light of fire to follow. A hand stretched out from the cell and broke the patrolling ratman's neck.
Annan went over and stamped out the torch,
"Are you hungry?" Annan asked the ogre.
"I'm waiting to eat apple pie when I get out."
Even the Ogre can't digest the Skaven.
Annan picked up the torch and returned to the fourth cell, sticking the almost extinguished torch into the cell. A well-proportioned silhouette fell on the cold rock
Vilits Eudora, one of the four scavengers. Annan woke her up, and the awakened Elf Ranger turned over with difficulty, only to recover from her weakness after realizing that it was Annan.
"Why are you here?"
"I want to know too."
What follows is the same conversation and questioning as the ogre.
“Can you still come out?”
The elf ranger shook his head, and Annan had no choice but to let the ogre come over and break the stone pillar.
Retrieving their companions failed to improve their strength. Villites Eudora couldn't even lift her bow - and all her weapons were missing.
It is true that Annan is the only exception.
The Elf Ranger was keenly aware of the conspiracy: "This may be a trap, maybe you are corrupting."
"But I feel everything is normal."
Annan's black eyes were It didn't turn scarlet, nor did it grow a tail or claws. It was still conscious.
"Because this kind of corruption will not infect your appearance, it will only eat away at your self... The Rat Man puts you into the deepest part of the dungeon and asks you to rescue us one by one, and you will gradually become corrupted during this process."
Annan didn’t think so, but he really couldn’t think of any other reasons.
"The Skaven will recognize corrupted humans as companions."
The Elf Ranger's words made Annan decide to test: He let the ogres and elves hide in the dungeon again, and he continued to move forward to find a Only rat-people contact.
"What if not?" asked the ogre.
Annan shows off his three magic rings, leaving one invisibility ring available.
Annan, holding a torch, went deep into the dungeon. The fifth and sixth dungeons were filled with soldiers and mercenaries. Annan did not rescue them for the time being. He encountered no more patrolling Skaven, but heard the clanking echoes of digging from the dark depths.
Annan came to the exit of this forked road. Fluorite was embedded in the wide rock wall and cave ceiling, like stars dotting the night sky.
……
The night sky at the top of the tower seems more beautiful than usual.
Jack rested his arms on his head and suddenly heard the sound of the guardrail shaking. He came to the other side of the terrace in confusion and saw Ruth stepping over the guardrail and preparing to jump off.
The frightened Jack hurriedly persuaded her to save Ruth by saying that it would be ugly if she fell to the ground and "If you jump, I will jump too".
The arriving Carl misunderstood that Jack was planning something evil, and after Ruth explained, he asked the housekeeper to give him 10 gold coins.
"The woman you love is only worth 10 gold coins?"
"It seems that our Ruth is unhappy." Carl, who was about to leave, stopped and changed his tone to invite Jack to attend tomorrow's meeting. dinner party.
After returning, Carl gave Ruth a priceless gemstone necklace, but it did not change her rebellion against the marriage.
The next day, Ruth and Jack complained at the Wizard's Tower. Countless ladies who were already noble ladies lamented and missed the girl who refused to compromise with fate and marriage.
Until Jack began to teach Ruth how to spit, hit the unlucky guy passing under the tower, and then swallow it hastily because of running into Ruth's mother.
"Oh..."
There were sounds of disgust from all over the theater.
This rising and falling disgust continued until Jack changed into an old-style dress, with his black hair standing up on his back. The ladies in the theater began to breathe uncontrollably.
