Every city has some shady places where lurking the poorest and least popular people in the city. It's like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats.

But once these rats gather, there will be a force over there. While unable to overthrow the rulers who rule the region, it is capable of dominating among the common people.

And their leader, as he called—

"Rat King. ”

Wei Ken asked, standing on a slender old man sitting in a rocking chair at the door of a small alley, squinting and enjoying the winter sun.

"Who are you looking for?"

The old man asked.

"Rat King. Weken said again.

"What king?" the old man's ears did not seem to be very good.

"Rat King. ”

"What are the rats?" the old man's ears must indeed be bad.

"Weken, why don't you ask someone else. Shirt Xue on the side reminded, "This old man's ears don't seem to be very good." ”

"Indeed......" Weken nodded.

"You little girl, who has bad ears!" the old man scolded angrily, "Isn't it just a rat king?

The old man impatiently pointed to the alley behind him, turned his back in annoyance, and continued to bask in the sun.

"Thank you very much ......"

Wei Ken nodded slightly, and entered the alley with Xue Xue.

"Wait a minute!" the old man shouted.

"What's the matter, old man?"

The two looked at each other, and the old man stood up at this time and stretched: "It's not been peaceful recently, you may not be able to find the rat king, so don't go in." ”

"I'm sorry, but I have something important to look for that rat king. Wei Ken bowed slightly, "Then, old man, take your leave." ”

Entering the alley, several eyes were soon fixed in the shadows.

"Weken, four. Xue Xue moved closer and whispered a reminder beside Wei Ken.

"It's been discovered. Wei Ken nodded, "Don't act rashly, maybe it's the Rat King." ”

According to the information provided by Joseph, the Rat King is the highest point in the underground power of this forest town. He led the thugs to open up the black market in Forest Town alone, and even some nobles had to give the Rat King half a thin face. However, what the Rat King looks like is only known to the insiders of the underground forces.

And this underground force is a name that is very suitable for the rat king - the rat group.

The king who leads the rats is naturally the rat king. But the rats never show up easily on weekdays, they are all doing unsightly things in dark corners, doing the work of losing their heads, not to mention the rat king who is rare to see at all.

Originally, the search for Lizlit was supposed to be a trouble for the nobles and the military, and it was not about these underground rats. But when the whereabouts are unknown, it is necessary to find information. If you want to say who is the most well-informed in this forest town, then it is the best rat group.

The level of intelligence is the same as the level of people, they are divided into three religions and nine streams, and the information that does not enter the stream can be obtained even if you ask ordinary "rats". But there is such a high level of intelligence as the location of the traitor......

"Yo, you two, come to our alley, what's the matter?" a tall and thin man came out of the shadows, rubbed his hands, and asked with a smile on his face, "You must have come to find information, right?"

A short dwarf on the side also walked out, staring at the two of them with burning eyes.

"I'm looking for the Rat King. Weken replied bluntly.

Ordinary rats can't be trusted. They don't speak faith, and if you ask him for important information, not only will he not be able to answer, but he will also turn around and look for the next person - someone who is interested in the person who is looking for information. They'll simply mark the bid code and sell you, the person who asks for information.

"That's the trouble, the Rat King has been in poor health lately, so it's okay. The tall and thin man was slightly stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Why don't you let me help you find some information?" Don't worry, the nose of the mouse is very smart, and the ears are also very smart, and you have all the information you want." ”

"I'm looking for the Rat King. Weken repeated, "Can you find him? If you can't, don't waste my time." ”

In the alleys, the atmosphere becomes a little subtle.

The two rats in the way had a look of interest in their eyes, as if they were sure of something.

"Alright, come with us. ”

"We just happen to know where the Rat King is. ”

The tall and thin man and the dwarf man looked at each other and smiled.

"So, the pay?"

"If you see it, you will naturally give it. Weken nodded.

Before leaving, Joseph gave Djeru a large bag, which should be able to pay for the information.

Xue Xue looked at Wei Ken and finally shook her head: "I feel a little uneasy. ”

"Be vigilant, go in and have a look. ”

"Yes. ”

Following the two, they gradually descended into the alley. This intricate area, if not visited often, can easily make people's minds dizzy.

I thought that only the alleys of the rich area would have this situation, but I didn't expect this kind of "rat's nest" to be the same, and it seems that the degree of confusion is even worse.

"Xue Xue, do you recognize the way back?" asked Wei Ken in a whisper.

Xue Xue nodded slightly: "I remember." ”

"Good. Weken breathed a sigh of relief.

If you let yourself out of the depths of this alley, it will be difficult. Maybe when the time comes, you will have to start with these dilapidated houses and climb to find the nearest straight-line distance to leave, right?

After another five minutes of walking, the eyes of the rats around him gradually increased.

"Alright, this is where the Rat King is. The tall, thin man turned around and smiled slightly.

"So, who is the Rat King?" Wei Ken asked with a nodding head.

The response was silence, a long silence. Immediately—

"Ahh

"Hey, hey, hey, hey—"

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-"

The rats laughed wildly, as if something fun had happened.

There was a dangerous madness in their smiles. It's like a hungry swarm of rats, trying to round up and devour the prey that has fallen into a trap.

"Where's the fool? and you want to find the Rat King?"

"Hey, hey, hey, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard this year!"

"Find the Rat King, go to hell!"

More than a dozen men armed with daggers and dressed in different light leather armor emerged from the dark corners. Without exception, their faces were filled with insolent smiles and ferocious expressions.

There are no normal people here, all of them are "rats", their eyes flashing with the hideousness of the most evil, laughing and besieging them.

"Kill them!" the tall and thin man laughed wildly as he picked up the dwarf man with a hideous gaze and threw it directly at Wei Ken, "Kill them, Ripper!"

"Ahh

"Wei Ken-" Xue Xue pulled out the long sword placed under the robe, stepped forward, and met the enemy in a guard posture, "Stand on my ......"

Weken frowned.

"Is this the security situation in the area under the jurisdiction of the Legion of Anova to the east......" Wicken's eyes glared, "although it is not the patrol area it used to be, it still makes me a little angry. ”

The mice's gaze changed slightly.

There are many things in the world that are inherently restrained by mice, and cats are one of them. A mouse meets a cat, like a thief meets a policeman...... And here, Wei Ken, who used to be a patrol guard, is naturally a cat.

And yes, cats that are even more hideous than before......

"According to the laws of the Kingdom of Rairdo, your actions constitute several crimes such as robbery, abduction of women, verbal abuse, etc. According to the law, you can kill directly. Wei Ken said expressionlessly, and when the rats were stunned, he drew his long sword and slashed a rat ...... with his backhand.

"You guy!"

Rats, blow up the pot.
