Chapter 75: Fateful Encounter (Part 1)

"We really saw the undead, a cart pulled by a rat! Your Highness, we may be in trouble, everyone be on alert!"

As if Baron Bilever was facing a powerful enemy, he immediately pulled the reins of his horse and ordered the entire team to prepare for battle in a stern voice.

"I hope it's not for us."

Baron Billiver looked serious.

He is not a favored minister like Onest who only flatters others. He can gain the king's trust not only by his loyalty, but also by his ability. In his early years, Baron Billiver was a pioneering knight of the kingdom who had experienced hundreds of battles and had rich experience and outstanding achievements. Otherwise, the king would not trust him to command this most elite team of guards loyal to the royal family.

"Baron, what's wrong?"

The prince obviously didn't understand.

"Aren't they just a bunch of rats? Even if they are bigger, wouldn't it be possible for so many of us to handle them?"

He looked at the group of giant rats with great interest and asked frivolously, "If you make specimens of rats like this and put them in an exhibition hall, even people from neighboring countries will come to visit!"

"Your Highness, it's not the rats that are in danger."

Baron Billiver secretly thought that he had forgotten the prince's strange collecting habit. The young prince liked to collect strange things, especially those rare beasts and insects. He had also seen the prince's taxidermy gallery and knew very well the prince's persistence in this regard.

If they were ordinary wild beasts, even lions and tigers, Baron Billiver would not mind turning them into the prince's collection, but no one knows better than him what a mouse that grows to the size of a foal means - it represents an abnormality .

In this world, abnormalities are more dangerous than any danger.

Baron Bilever took a deep breath and stared at the giant rats. An uneasy premonition emerged in his heart, but he still managed to pull himself together and comforted himself: "I hope it's not an anomaly related to that kind of existence." .”

"Since it's not the rat that's dangerous, then it's the thing sitting in the pumpkin cart? Indeed, it's definitely not easy for someone to tame such a big rat."

The prince laughed and drew his sword, "Don't be too nervous, Baron, don't worry about my safety! I have royal means, please order the charge! Add some special collections to my exhibition hall."

Baron Billiver sighed. He knew that he could not convince the future king, and as far as he knew, the royal family did have some "abnormal" abilities, but he and his guards did not have this kind of ability. Trump card! If he rashly takes action against the "abnormality", he may suffer heavy losses, but he has to accept the prince's suggestion - he swears allegiance to the king and the king's heir.

Just when he was about to give the order to charge, a thick layer of white mist suddenly floated around him.

"Baron? Have you ever seen this happen? This... what is this?"

"Go quickly! This is white ghost mist."

The well-informed Baron Billiver knew something was wrong. He clamped his pedals and urged the horse to change direction quickly.

"Let's go!"

This time, the prince stopped acting like a monster. All he could see was the strange white mist. His trump card could not deal with the intangible and insubstantial things.

However, before they took a few steps, the pumpkin cart pulled by the giant rat appeared in front of them.

The huge rats stopped, their scarlet eyes stared at the crowd, and then they stood up at the same time, making a sharp cry, as if they were ready to attack at any time.

Baron Billiver and the prince knew something was wrong and couldn't hide. So they reined in their horses one after another and prepared to deal with the coming danger.

"Your Excellency! We have no hostility towards you! Maybe we can talk!"

The prince said shamelessly, completely forgetting that he had just wanted to make these giant rats into specimens.

Baron Billiver was speechless and choked. The prince actually wanted to communicate with these "abnormalities"?

However, what happened next was beyond Baron Billiver's expectation.

Under the prince's unexpected move, the giant rats seemed to unexpectedly stop their intention to attack. They leaned down again and spread out to leave a path, revealing the pumpkin car behind them.

The giant rats made another series of mysterious and melodious chirping sounds, as if in response to the prince's proposal.

Baron Billiver's heart moved, and he began to understand that these giant rats did not want their lives, but appeared in front of them with some intention.
