Chapter 320 173. Conversation at the Farm
“Can we clear up the misunderstanding now?”
“There is no misunderstanding, only mine failed again.”
“History Mr. Varro, is that so?" Annan and the Epic Mage said, "I remember that we discovered the traces of the rat priests, followed them to the rural farm, and found the rat men's lair. We were ready to catch them all, but we were killed by a man. The powerful person named Maria ran away..."
Mr. Shivaro did not answer, Maria looked at Annan: "You want me to betray the clan?"
"I just want you to be safe and sound."
Mr. Schwaro quietly held the staff tightly.
Maria was silent for a while and no longer stared at Annan: "There are still rat people outside."
Annan opened the portal in cooperation and said to the large elements that appeared: " There are rat people underground here, find them and deal with them.”
Most major races will not accept killing their people in front of a race, including green-skinned orcs, with the exception of demons and rat people. . The former will kill with you, while the latter is waiting to eat the corpses of its companions.
"Is your injury serious?"
Annan frowned and observed Maria's condition. Her gray robe was intact, covering her moving figure.
"That's a kind of punishment for the soul."
"I came too slowly..."
Mr. Swarovski felt that standing here was like a year. "I'm going back, get your amulet" he said coldly.
Annan handed the amulet to Mr. Swaro: "Don't tell anyone else yet. I will go find Olmedo when I get out."
Swaro filled the amulet without saying a word, stepped forward and then closed it. 's portal.
Only Annan and Maria were left under the dark farm, and the killings of the elements came from the caves in all directions.
"Why are you back again?" Annan asked.
The departure of the protective umbrella did not allow Maria to attack Annan: "Because of the new mission."
"What mission?"
"I don't know."
"Then do you have anything to do with the McKeons?"
"I don't know." Leah said, "I am 'Mrs.' and I just need to carry out the order."
The order is to sneak into Breeze City again.
"Then will you return to the clan? Or continue to command?" Annan issued an invitation: "I would rather you stay... You were not lying when you kidnapped me. As long as you are willing, I can open up a new land for the rat people in Xingyue Bay. "I want to go back to the Saint Clan."
"Why? The Rat People can't control you anymore..."
But with the Rat People's power. The saying is that "the Rat God sealed the gods so that the thirteen clans could launch holy wars against various races."
“My people are still in the hive.”
"Okay, what can I do to help you? For example, pick them up?"
"That's enough." Annan's attitude made Maria unable to maintain her resentment any longer, and she said vently: "I'm very sad. I'm sorry for treating you like that..."
"It's okay." Annan shook his intact palm, "And I also ruined your plan before, so let's consider it even."
< br>"Okay."
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 remembered something, "You don't mind if I remove them, right? Then it won't be so abrupt for you and some escaped rat men to go back." "The map is in the farm."< br>
"Then let's go up."
Stepping over the corpses of the rat people, Annan and Maria returned to the ground.
Broken clouds covered the moon, making the stars clear. The distant Breeze City exudes a luminous haze.
The empty farmhouse was dark. The place had just been temporarily abandoned due to the end of the autumn harvest, and the homeless and refugees had not yet had time to move into their "new home." The environment that was brighter 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 almost hit her.
Creak—Creak—
Maria pushed open the old wooden door and stepped on the creaking wooden planks, disturbing the quiet empty house filled with dust. Climb up to the attic and pick up a magical newspaper that Annan is familiar with.
Charcoal drawings on newspapers are like children's graffiti. No one would associate it with a map.
"Compare it with the map of Breeze City."
The attic was dark, Annan opened the window with a magic newspaper, and observed the graffiti through the brief moonlight that emerged.
He exposed his back to Maria unpreparedly.
“You are different from other humans.”
Maria’s whisper echoed in the attic, and Annan didn’t look back: “Does that need to be said?”
In addition to the farm at his feet, Doodle also has two rat nests, which should be to the west and east of Breeze City.
Putting away the magic newspaper, Annan turned back to Maria with a relaxed look and said: "Go back first, don't let the rat man see you and me together."
"Put it away. Get rid of that rat man. It will be your problem," Maria said.
"Don't worry, it is already a resident of Xingyue Bay."
"...Idiot." Maria suddenly uttered a cold whisper: "What do you think rat people are? They are? He is the most vicious existence in the world, hating all races, greedy and cowardly, violent and unfaithful, the most rotten sludge, only obeying the will of Chaos and the Rat God... Why do you think the rat people will become like you?"
"Because I have a rat friend who said similar things to you. Now she is a dark elf." Annan looked at her seriously.
Broken clouds blocked the moon, making Annan's words lack of contrast.
“When we talk about orcs, we say that they are reckless and rude, with only fighting in their heads. When we talk about elves, we say that they are arrogant and indifferent, and are indifferent to the outside world. When we talk about dwarves, we say that they are stubborn and strong. They only stay in the mines and blacksmith shops, and when they say humans, they say they live a short and weak life."
"I learned about a secret society when I first came here. The association has a noble idea - to integrate all races. In that association, even the chaotic demon will send the lost little boy home."
"The calmest ogre I have ever seen, the wisest. The orcs I have seen are the most obscene and passionate elves. Why not the rat men?”
"Because 'all belongs to the Horned Rat', the rat was 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, clad in hazy moonlight, said: "I used to want no one to suffer in Xingyue Bay, but now I want Xingyue Bay to become 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 said goodbye to a friend who should be an enemy:< br>
“At that time, Xingyue Bay will become what I said.”
