As soon as I entered, the foul smell swept over me, as if the sweat of the many soldiers who had been crowded here after a few days of war mixed with the rancid smell of blood and rotting minced meat, and not only that, but also the smell of excrement that I didn't even know the source of, lingered in the tunnels.

This feeling almost made her push the door out by herself, not wanting to stay here for another second, but when she looked closely, there were two people in front of her arguing about something, but they heard the sound of the door opening, so they subconsciously looked here.

"A lost child? …… Did the Kindness Gui Luo run out there? ”

It's two middle-aged men, judging from the outfit, they should be warriors, but they haven't been maintained for a long time, and the equipment is all rough leather armor.

"How could that old lady possibly let her child run out? ……

And it seems that this little guy is better dressed than the Black Thorn family? ”

Before coming down from the top of the mountain, Ellie discarded the rough cloth clothes she had worn in Snowy City and replaced them with a rather modern outfit, which was completely unique in design and material on this side of Skyrim

The mention of black thorns made the two of them shudder, and then looked behind her, naturally, nothing. But even that's it, and it doesn't make them feel a little relieved

“…… No guards? ”

"No, let her go......

Whether she belongs to the Black Thorn family or not, our forces can't afford to provoke her. ”

With that, the two of them automatically gave way to their place, leaving Ellie alone and leaving the eerie sewer alone.

"These two guys are very fond of their lives... Black Thorns. ”

For the previous problem, Xiaobai did not plan to continue to delve into it, but continued to focus on the problem in front of him.

"The prestige of the clan that is enough to be afraid of them to attack...

If they hadn't relied on the power of the gods, they would have succeeded. ”

"You're going to control them?"

“… Can't you? ”

"Whatever you want... But don't underestimate the enemy. ”

Walking along the potholed ground, but I could see the traces of the road, but it was basically no different from the surroundings, and if it wasn't a little brighter, I couldn't tell what it looked like at all.

Moreover, the rat knew that the sound of Soso was not an auditory hallucination, but a real mouse: a giant rat half the length of Ellie's height, not counting the tail; Blood-red wounds from gnawed or slashed wounds, clearly exposed to the stiff fur; And the yellow-reddened eyes, and the teeth no less than those of a wolfdog, are enough to prove the lethality of this thing.

However, in the eyes of most people, it is just a mutated mouse, because of its increased size and sudden ferocious habits, it has become a slow giant target for them to learn intelligence.

The snow rat that was about to attack Erli just rushed in front of Erlie, and before she could jump to attack, she was directly nailed to the ground, the kind that pierced through the skull.

"It's just a little bigger...

I thought it was going to mutate or something. ”

He pulled out his blade, and it was still a normal bright red, not some strange color, which proved that this thing was only a change in size.

"You thought it was something like a nezumi?"

"It's not impossible, magical creatures aren't rare here, let alone dragons.

What's wrong? ”

“…… The rat overrun alone would be enough to flood the city alive in a month.

As for the nezumen? I'm afraid this territory will be wiped out directly. ”

If you take the speed of rat reproduction and the size of this underground labyrinth, the proliferation of snow rats is inevitable, and the result of manual killing is only a drop in the bucket.

But judging from the current feeling, the number of rats in this rat tunnel is no more than thirty, and it seems that the speed and desire to reproduce have decreased a lot.

"The world is getting more and more interesting...

But we saw the advent of legends, the incarnation of demon gods, and the mutated creatures in turn. ”

"And you are a demon who has entered this world indiscriminately, and you also have an immature evil god form.

Seriously, if you like to cause something, no one can stop you. ”

The further inside, the musty smell in the rat passage became more pronounced: water was leaking everywhere, and all kinds of algae were spreading completely at will. Even, there is a place where I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, along with a ray of sunlight from the outside world, there is the growth of shrubs and plants.

And the traces of people's lives are becoming more and more obvious, with freshly made sleeping bags, stale food on tables, even campfires used for cooking, and, of course, living people.

However, when they met Elle, they either fell asleep and didn't notice it, or, like the two people in front of them, completely let her go.

"It's like I'm a troublemaker."

"Hmm... After passing through Shenqi's hands, maybe it really looks like it. ”

After the last man got out of his way, Elle saw her destination—something hidden behind the rat path.

Pushing open the door, the originally gloomy crypt suddenly brightened a lot. The damp air, mixed with a faint smell of mead, brushed Elle's face, and in front of her was a bar built on a stretch of water, and there was nothing left to spare except the necessary tables and seating benches.

There were barrels and crates of wine stored everywhere, and everyone who had stopped their movements collectively as they looked straight to this side.

“…… Of the Black Thorn family?

While I'm not sure why she sent a little girl over, Marwen what does she need us to do? ”

The man in black leather armor turned his back to the bar counter of the bar, looking at Erli who pushed the door in, and did not feel the slightest surprise, but he subconsciously put his hand on his waist.

"She intends to make you my vassals, under my direct command."

“…… No kidding, girl.

Although we are her white gloves, it doesn't mean that Marven can command us casually. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at each other, and everyone took out their weapons.

"But you say it by your appearance......

Who do you represent? Is it the Empire, or is it Somer? ”

Ellie spun the weapon in her hand in a circle, and just as it followed the brazier hanging along the sky, the cold light flashed through everyone's eyes for a moment.

“……

Indeed, I speak only for myself.

However, the Black Thorns will only be a problem for me in the future.

Surrender, human, I need some people to understand what's going on here. ”

Hearing the word human, everyone's expressions just flashed for a moment, and then disappeared immediately.

"Human ...... Hum...

I can see that you have that confidence, but we don't really agree with that, ma'am. ”

"It's okay, it's just that I need to "convince" you guys..."
