Chapter 842 73. The Story of Broken Tooth
“It is a ratman who grew up in the north... Like all slave rats, it is driven by the inferior instincts of ratmen and only knows how to eat and poop... ..."
Guests in the tavern rarely hear stories about rat people as the protagonists, and they listen to them with gusto, but in Annan's eyes, they are a bit sparse and ordinary. He also thought that the bard's story was the dynamics of the Skaven in the North.
What kind of business is this?
“...The Thirteenth High King implemented the Alien Order in all human empires. Not long after, it was discovered by a group of mercenaries. As a ratman, it should have been like a wild dog in the wild. Die, ironically, because the Rat Man is also an alien race, and it survived because of the alien order and was caught in the dungeon.”
"It has met many races in the dungeon. No matter whether they are enemies or friends outside, here, they are all prisoners of humans. The alien races have abandoned their emotions outside, and it has learned a common language while living with them day and night."< br>
"Originally they are useless, because they are just the achievements of officials. One day in the future, they will be taken out and hanged as stepping stones for promotion... Until that day comes."
"A man who calls himself Orr Mei Shao's deputy warden appeared in the dungeon, and he told the aliens that he would save them from getting out..."
Annan sat up a little straighter, unaware that the bard was telling his own story.
But this still has nothing to do with business.
"Some alien prisoners believe it, some don't believe it, it doesn't think anything. Ideas are a luxury item for slave rats. But the deputy warden did it. He improved the living environment of the prisoners and asked the guards to clean the house. , and finally rescued them from the dungeon. Although there was an alien rebellion during the period, a small number of people still chose to believe that Olme was just right. "
At this time, the deputy warden revealed. Identity: He said he was the King of the North and the owner of Star-Moon Bay, Annan Reeves.
The guests' eyes were all focused on Annan, with applause and cheers mixed in.
At this time, Annan realized that the protagonist of the bard's story was Broken Tooth...
But wasn't Broken Tooth in Hell Mountain?
The bard continued to speak after the applause subsided, telling in detail that Broken Tooth followed Annan back to Xingyue Bay, fell in the North, and then came to Liberty City... It was as if he was a transparent person watching Broken Tooth's life.
Annan's feeling of déjà vu became even stronger, but looking at the bard's face, he confirmed that he had never seen him before...
It would be nice if it was a woman, myself Definitely won't forget it.
When the bard talked about Hell Mountain, Annan sat up. Because it told more about what happened in Hell Mountain than Annan did - especially when they retreated underground, Broken Tooth took the opportunity to run out, mix in the rat tide, and rescued a boy, escorting him all the way to the north. Great Wall.
Guests who knew that the story was "adapted from real events" cheered for Broken Tooth.
Annan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Is it on the Great Wall of the North now?"
He was already thinking about how to reward Broken Tooth. Citizenship? It already is. Publish the Voice of Liberty? This is what was meant to be...
How about letting it set up a team of ratmen in its own name? There are a lot of ratmen in the north. Even if only one of ten thousand ratmen can communicate, its huge technology is enough to raise an army.
Maybe there is a chance to become the fifth Skaven Legion after the Guards Legion, Hellfire Legion, Musketeers Legion, and the newly established Foreign Aid Legion.
“It and the boy were lying in the wilderness behind the Great Wall in the north.”
All Annan's beautiful imaginations disappeared with the bard's words.
There was silence in the tavern, Annan stared at him deeply: "What do you mean?"
"It is dead, dead like a wild dog."
" Why? "
"The frontline commander of the Orr Empire thought it was a spy and a deserter, and executed it and the boy... But at least at the end of its life, it found its own value. "The bard said. chanted the aria.
"City Lord Annan, do you like this story?"
"How did you know?" As Annan's voice became cold, Luo Xi, who was standing next to Annan, was like a sharp sword. The sword is full of sharpness.
The bard stroked the lute: "It doesn't matter."
"Look at him."
Annan and Losey said, stood up and answered the gazes of the tavern guests: "It's called Broken Tooth, as you can see... it is a hero. But some people have erased its achievements and slandered it as a spy and a deserter... "
"I will give it an explanation. "
The tavern guests were equally indignant, and even went to the recruitment office to sign up together, wanting to beat the Orr Empire on the front line.
Annan returned to the city lord's palace and asked Olmedo to investigate at all costs. He poured several bottles of magic potion into his mouth and opened the portal.
It was not the agreed time to open the door. After a while, Fermi rushed back underground.
"Lord Annan, what happened?"
Annan's expression looked even more solemn than theirs.
Annan told the story of the bard to Fermi. Fermi was slightly startled and said that Broken Tooth did leave during the melee, but he didn't know what happened after he left.
"Is Ilimoyas still there? Entrust her to go to the Great Wall of the North. I need to confirm."
As he said that, Annan threw Mr. Swaro's amulet to Femi. , "Leave it to Ilimoyas."
Just in case the Orr Empire wants to kill people and silence them.
“What should we do?” Fermi asked.
"You are at war, and you are nominally obeying the orders of the Orr Empire, so I will not drag you back for the time being and continue to hold on to the camp." Annan said.
He waited in the office for several hours, and the fluctuations in the portal suddenly appeared.
Svaro appears in the office. He seemed to have gone there in person, with a straight face but no anger... because the mage's hands behind him held the outlines of two figures, one large and one small, covered with mage robes.
Annan walked up to the two silhouettes in silence and opened the mage's robe.
The dead rat man lost his ferocious appearance when he was alive, and looked like a big rat... while the strange boy seemed to be sleeping soundly, with only mud on his face.
"How could they do this..." Annan murmured.
“This is the nobility.” Mr. Swaro said.
The history of the rise of mankind is the history of the aristocracy, and the history of the aristocracy is the history of their exploitation.
With blood as the hub, the family uses the gathered strength to gain status and wealth, and then monopolizes it, claiming to be the master of the common people.
This makes the arrogance of the nobles deep-rooted, the older they are, the more so.
Not everyone is as tolerant as the Olmedo family. It is rare for nobles to kill civilians - even the Olmedo family has a man who was corrupted by ratmen and attacked the King of the North. Augusta.
As an upstart in their eyes, Annan was half one of their own, half a thorn in their side.
