Chapter 90 Beast Sense
“Back off! I’m warning you, big man, back off! Otherwise the rat will bite your heel with its sharp teeth! It will definitely hurt if bitten by this rat. "It's terrible!"
The mouse put down the food in his mouth and hissed at Nohir with anger. Nohir could only try to comfort it with his movements, and he slowly spread his hands. Show that you are not hostile and try to communicate with it using animal communication.
“Calm down, this distinguished gentleman, please believe that I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you. I just want to provide you with a well-rewarded transaction, and the final result of this transaction will also be certain. It can make both of us smile.”
Maybe it’s because of Nohill’s words, or because his 18-point charm came into play after wearing the crown, and it actually turned out to be true. No longer so nervous, this extremely fat rat that was moistened by the sewer tilted its head, and then squeaked at Nohir.
"Noble? Zhizhizhi! Rat likes what you say! And you can actually talk to rats, and what you say is surprisingly nice. Well, Rat believes you. After all, ordinary predators have no interest in talking to rats like this. They prefer to communicate with their paws.”
It seemed that Nohir had temporarily gained his trust, but the mouse suddenly spoke again.
“But I’m sorry! I have a lot of wives and children waiting for the Rat to come back with food. The wives of the Rat depend on the Rat for their livelihood, so I refuse your deal!”
< br>The fat mouse once again picked up the unknown object next to it, and then said to Nohir in an indistinct voice.
"Clear the shell, uh, the fruit is about to go."
"Please wait a moment, you haven't heard how generous the reward I have given you is. If you leave like this, you will lose an unknown amount of delicious food, and these rewards that originally belonged to you will not be available again after you leave. Waiting for you, I will find another one of your kind to trade with it, are you sure you don’t want to hear it?”
Nohill’s words successfully made it put down the food in its mouth, and it scratched it with its hind legs. He scratched behind his ears and said to Nohir disdainfully.
“Squeak, you ignorant guy, the kingdom of rats is extremely rich. If you look around here, you will find a lot of food. It’s useless no matter who you look for. No rat will eat it because of the tip of your tail. What kind of deal do I have to do with you for the sake of my son?”
“So please step aside now, sir, I can’t wait to go back and take care of my wife and children.”
When Mr. Mouse picked up the piece of rotten and smelly food again and tiptoed to leave, Nohir also said the last words.
"If you are willing to put down your dignity and listen to my terms of transaction, you will not lose a reward as large as hundreds of tail tips. Believe me, that food can feed your wife and children for three days and three nights. It’s not over, but it’s a pity that this reward will never be handed over to you now.”
After saying this, Nohill turned around and left. His original plan was to find one that was enough. The hidden little animal, by providing generous food as a reward, made it agree to apply the spell of beast perception on it, and then sneaked in to investigate the situation inside on Nohir's behalf.
Anyone can do this little animal, especially in this sewer. You can encounter more than a dozen mice just by taking a few steps, and there will always be one who is willing to accept the conditions.
"Squeak! Wait! Are you telling the truth? Are there really hundreds of rewards as big as the tip of your tail?"
The big mouse suddenly went straight. Rushing in front of Nohir, even the food he had been holding in his mouth was left behind, just to confirm the reward in Nohir's mouth, which was worth hundreds of tail tips.
Although Nohir didn't know what unit of measurement the tip of the tail in this big rat's mouth was, this didn't stop him from talking about it in a big way.
"It's much bigger than you thought. Why, are you suddenly interested now?"
A trace of embarrassment suddenly flashed across the mouse's face, and it scratched with its front paws He scratched his ears, and then said sincerely to Nohir.
“Zhi, this truly respectable gentleman, you may not know this, but I have spent an unknown amount of time as a mouse. This mouse is a little old and has become increasingly tired when looking for food. The more you try, the harder it is.”
“The food this rat finds is always of the lowest quality. The really good things are taken away by the younger rats. This rat has not eaten good food for a long time. Even the rat’s wife and children began to despise the rat for being useless. “So if the rat can really bring back so much tail-sized food at one time, the rat can continue to be in love with my wives, so. Dear sir, please, please be kind and don’t deceive the rat.”
What kind of rat version of mid-life crisis is this?
“Don’t worry, as long as you can do this little favor for me, I promise to provide you, uh, and your wives with the freshest and most delicious food, and I guarantee that you will be able to say goodbye. Your whole family is satisfied.”
“Well, this is a deposit.”
Nohir took out a piece of cherry hand pie wrapped in oil paper from the bag at the back. This was originally his. The lunch I prepared for myself, but in order to win over the rat’s heart, I had to take it out first.
"Do me a small favor, and I can provide you with 100 more servings of this food."
Nohir spread the oil paper on the ground and pushed it towards the big mouse.
“Squeak!!!”
This piece of hand-picked cherry pie is bigger than the mouse’s body. After Nohill pushed the piece of pie over, the mouse The mouse pounced on it excitedly, took a few big bites, then held a small piece of pulp in its paws and swallowed it crazily.
“Zhizhi, wu, I haven’t had such a rich meal for a long time! Although the rat kingdom is very wealthy, the food tastes really bad, and the piece of tail you gave me is even more... The best food I’ve ever had! ”
After the mouse finished eating the small piece of pie in his hand, he licked his paws with his tongue, then looked at Nohir and said.
"No matter what you want the rat to do next, this rat will obey your orders!"
Nohill also smiled after hearing this sentence. Every time he communicates with these animals, they are so strange. The word order always makes Nohill laugh.
"Very good, don't worry, for a mouse, this task couldn't be easier."
Nohir first sent the remaining food to Tails who lived nearby. At the entrance of the cave, let its tail drag the food in. It came out after five or six minutes. It seemed that it had restored a certain status in the family.
"Let's go, Tails. You just need to walk around the human's house up there a few times. It won't take you much time. You have to be careful and conceal yourself. The people in that house won't be as friendly as me, and as far as I know I know they also have a cat, so you must be careful not to get caught.”
Well, the mouse has already told Nohir what its name is, and its name is. Tail, and the unit of measurement for the tip of the tail that it has been talking about before is actually the length of its tail, and the tail length of a mouse is almost the same as their body length.
“Zhi, it’s just a stupid cat domesticated by humans. The mouse has been in the kingdom of mice for an unknown period of time and has escaped countless crises. A stupid cat, the mouse doesn’t take it seriously at all. "
"That's good, I'm really afraid that you'll give in."
Nohir quickly made a few gestures and put the one that represented Silvanus. He took out the Holy Emblem, holding it in his left hand and placing his right hand on the mouse's head.
