The Rat King loves to talk. Even if no one is listening, he will chatter endlessly on the bar about various miscellaneous things in his sewer kingdom.
Lin Ge would occasionally respond to him with a few words, and he would appear very excited, and more words would pop out of his mouth, creaking like an old wooden door that had been opened and closed repeatedly.
Ringer observed the Rat King thoughtfully. Although this mouse looks arrogant, he may be lonely, which is why he has such a strong desire to express himself.
The king who stands at the pinnacle of power is always lonely, and perhaps the king in the sewer is no exception.
Anyway, no matter what he says here, it will not affect his sewer kingdom.
The Rat King also talked about a strange thing that happened in the sewer recently.
"Two days ago, my soldiers went to collect taxes at a newly opened cake shop. They were discovered by the owner of the cake shop. There was a new soldier in the team who was not smart enough and could not run fast enough. He was beaten to death by the unruly soldier. .At least at that time, his teammates thought he was dead. His head was exploded, how could he still be alive?
"But the next morning, the guy returned with a bloody head, which scared the rats who saw him."
Ringer showed a hint of interest and said: "Maybe it was not killed, but just injured. Maybe the cake shop owner thought it was dead, so he threw it into the trash can, and when it woke up, it went back on its own. "
"No, you didn't see his miserable state with your own eyes. After the villain hit him with a stick, he must have stepped on him so hard that his internal organs were squeezed out. When he came back, there was still a string hanging on his stomach. , those who didn’t know thought they were thin sausages he picked up from the trash can.”
"Then is it dead?" Ringer asked.
"Dead," the Rat King took a sip of wine, "but he can still move. That's the strange thing."
"This is indeed a strange thing." Linge said, "How is it now?"
"Resting at home, I heard that my body has started to smell bad, but other than that, everything is normal."
"Could it be that the little mouse had eaten or drank something strange, such as secretly drinking some alchemy reagent?" Ringer speculated.
"No, no, no, I have warned my people long ago that magicians and alchemists should not touch things in their homes, otherwise they will be poisoned or turn into terrible monsters."
"Did someone cast a spell on him, a necromancer or something?" Linge glanced at Lanya, who quickly shook her head.
Of course he didn't doubt Lanya. Except when he went to bed at night, Lanya basically always followed him.
Besides, with her love of cleanliness, she wouldn't be interested in a dead rat thrown into the trash can.
"But why would a necromancer be interested in a poor little mouse? Besides, it's back. If it was really awakened by the necromancer, it should stay with its owner."
In the end, neither one person nor one mouse came to a conclusion.
After the Rat King left, Ringer noticed a mysterious smile on Nilu's face and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
Nilu smiled and just said mysteriously: "After get off work, take a walk on the streets of Castalon. You may find something different."
"I know too, come and ask me." Karina suddenly interrupted.
Ringer looked at her.
"But it's best to ask in your bedroom, so I can make it clearer." Karina smiled.
Ringer withdrew his gaze and decided to go to Castalon to take a look in person after get off work.
.
The store door was pushed open amidst the sound of wind chimes, and the skeleton maid Kani walked into the store holding a bald head.
It can be seen that Elvie's spare bald head is well maintained, and her forehead has been polished so brightly that it reflects the light in the store.
"Hi, Ringer." Elvie greeted.
Ringer smiled and took out Elvie's special seat - a small red bucket covered with a wire mesh.
Carney respectfully placed Elvie's bald head on the bucket.
After Ringer served Elvie the wine, he remembered the strange thing the Rat King said before. As an elite among the undead, Elvie might be able to provide some advice, so he told the story about the rat.
After hearing this, Elvi smiled as mysteriously as Nilu.
"When certain imperceptible changes occur, animals often notice them before humans do. Usually by the time humans notice, it's already too late. Something like this may be happening in the shadow of that city." Elvi murmured. Said sympathetically. 33
Ringer thought thoughtfully, and it seemed that he still had to go to Castalon to take a look in person.
"By the way, is your body okay? It hasn't been purified by people from the church, right?" Linge suddenly asked.
"Well, it's very good. It feels so comfortable to be baptized by the Holy Light every day."
"Don't you want to take your body back?" Ringer put the wine glass next to the little red bucket.
This time, Elvi didn't let Carney feed her a drink. Instead, she opened her mouth and took a sip, and a line of wine flew out of the cup. The wine went in from her mouth, leaked out from under her neck, dripped through the filter into the bucket, making a dripping sound.
But she has already tasted the taste of wine, and because she has no digestive organs, she will not get drunk at all. In this sense, she is really suitable for drinking with only her head left.
"That is a great gift from me to mankind. Let them play with it for a while. When the time is right, I will take it back. I might ask you for help when the time comes. You will help me, right?"
"certainly."
"Haha, you are really my good brother."
Elvi laughed heartily, and Ringer always felt that there was something else in her laughter, not just because he agreed to help her without hesitation.
Elvie finished her glass of wine quickly, floated up, and let Carnie pour the contents of the bucket back into the glass, before starting her second round.
According to the way she drinks, one glass of wine can be consumed as ten glasses, and she can even drink it as long as she wants.
"Miss Kani, do you want a drink?" Ringer said to Kani who was standing by.
"Sir Ringer, don't be joking. I'm just a skeleton. Drinking like this will only stain the floor here." Carney lowered her skull head.
"Not long ago, a lich came to the store to drink. How do you think he drank?"
Carney shook her head.
"He transformed into his former self and drank." Linge said, "Can't Kani know such a spell?"
"That's Lord Lich. I'm just a skeleton maid. How can I know such high-level spells?"
"If the guest wants to drink, I can help you." At this time, Nilu suddenly said.
"Eh?" Kani looked at Nilu in surprise.
Has there been a change of people at the bar? Where is the blond sister with a bad temper?
"No need..." Carney didn't want to do such an unexpected thing.
But then Elvi said: "Kani, come and have a drink with me. This is a reward for your serious work."
Kani immediately changed her mind: "Yes, Master."
Then he turned his head and bowed to Nilu: "Then I'll trouble you."
"It's a small matter, give me your hand."
Carney obediently put her right hand into the bar, and Nilu raised her hand to gently hold her slender white hand bones. Then Ringer saw: blood and flesh grew rapidly between the bones of Carney's hand, and in the blink of an eye, it turned from white bones to white bones. A white and smooth little hand, the flesh and blood spread along the arm bones, covering the whole body in a few seconds.
In just a few seconds, Carney transformed from a skeleton into a girl with beautiful blue eyes. She was wearing a black maid outfit. She was elegant and beautiful. She was something that could only be seen in the homes of top nobles. A perfect maid.
Ringer had actually seen Kani's appearance once before, when he took her to report work to Elvie in the modern world not long ago.
However, when he saw her again, Carney's vivid image still made his eyes shine.
In front of the TV, although his body was still facing the TV, his head had been turned 180 degrees, but he shook his head regretfully and whispered to himself:
"It's such a shame, I still like her more when she's naked."
After saying that, he turned his head and continued watching TV.
What is being broadcast on TV is a freestyle extreme motorcycle championship.
Some people died, but not completely...
