The Rat King enthusiastically introduces Pepper to the scenery and interesting facts. And Tony listened stupidly on the side. Even if he asked one or two questions once in a while, the Rat King didn't even look at him, as if he didn't hear the question, and Pepper repeated Tony's question before he opened his mouth to answer. This situation made Tony very unhappy.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark." Beta apologized next to him: "I can explain it for you if you want." ”

"Defined by human knowledge, the Animo dimension is only living as a group of animals. The entire dimensional space can be roughly divided into several places. Animal City in the center, Rat Kingdom in the north, Cat Kingdom in the east, Dog Kingdom in the south and Chaos Zone in the west. ”

"Animal City is inhabited by all herbivores and carnivores, except for cats, dogs, and rodents. It is a utopia that residents dream of. Beta also said to Tony in a tone that was like a New York dream: "I've been to New York, and it's a very great city. But in my eyes, Animal City is even more impressive than New York. ”

"Carnivorous and herbivores together, doesn't this produce the collapse of natural ecosystems?" Although not a biologist, Tony has a fair grasp of the basics.

"It looks like Mr. Stark hasn't changed his attitude." Beta heard Tony's words and smiled, "Although we claim to be animals. But don't forget that we, too, are intelligent beings. Even in our opinion, human intelligence is not as high as ours. At least in the cat kingdom, a large part of the inhabitants look down on humans. ”

"That's all there is to the stinky cats, and it makes sense." The Rat King heard Beta's words and spoke, "But that's it. Still basking in the glory of the previous era. It's no wonder that their kingdom is now in a state of decline. Speaking of this, the Rat King couldn't help but glance at Pepper again: "So this is the beginning of the revival of our Rat Kingdom!" His eyes were frenetic.

"Wait! Last era?! Tony seemed to hear something terrible.

"You heard that right." Continuing to drive, seeing that the Rat King continued to ignore Tony, Beta replied, "We, whether in the Animo dimension or in the other dimensions, are all people who survived the explosion of the last universe. ”

"This amount of information is too much, and I can't accept it for a while." Tony rubbed his temples: "You just said that there are other dimensions, that is, there are not only the Animo dimension, but also other beings such as the Ranimo dimension, the Kanimo dimension, and so on?" ”

"Of course." Beta replied strangely: "There is no absolute and only one thing." There will only be near-absolute and relative uniqueness, which is the theorem of the universe, isn't it? ”

"And the man who brought us here? Or are they rats too? Tony thought of Sasha.

"No, they're hunters of the Hunters' Guild. It's the human race of the earth. It's just a special group of people. Beta explained.

"We're coming." Another stretch of road. Beta spoke suddenly. Hearing this, Pepper and Tony unconsciously looked forward.

I saw a magnificent castle standing not far away. The round towers, narrow windows, semicircular arches, and low cupola give people a sense of solidity, balance, stability, and saturation, and the narrow windows form a strong contrast with the vast space inside. Tony doesn't know about architecture, but this old castle makes him know that it has a very historical sense at a glance.

The stone cart drove all the way to the castle before stopping. When I stopped, someone outside opened the door. I saw a gray mouse in a swallow-tailed costume smiling at them and saying, "Your Majesty, daughter of the unicorn, welcome back." Lunch is ready and ready to start. ”

"Then let's go. I'm sure you're hungry too. When the meal is over, I will send you back to Earth. "The Rat King is very gentlemanly and takes over the guy who will only help the lady get out of the car. Although he is a mouse, his highly developed IQ and his own royal temperament also make Pepper feel flattered as if he is a princess.

Looking around the castle's roads, Tony felt that it was indeed very ceremonial, and at least with a light sweep, he saw a dozen heavily armed rat soldiers. It's still the kind with a gun. But it also made him feel a little confused.

"Don't doubt." Beta was like a roundworm in Tony's stomach: "Although this is the Rat Kingdom, it is also the border between the Rat Kingdom and the Cat Kingdom. ”

"Let's go." By this time, the Rat King had already started to call people, and he walked into the castle with Pepper and Tony.

Walking in the promenade of the castle, looking around softly, looking at the view from the window. The midday sun shrouds the vast forest through this lush forest. The endless natural scenery is very impressive.

I went all the way to the restaurant and started eating.

Lunch was lively and popular, and the musicians played music endlessly, although there were only four people, or creatures. But a few of them also seemed to be talking happily and having fun. Even the Rat King, who has always been looking at Tony, chatted with him during the period. Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is just greeting perfunctory. But the relationship has also eased, at least, the rat king has called Tony back

"Dear Pepper, there's one thing you should definitely try." Wiping his mouth, the Rat King said to Pepper's recommendation.

"What?" The food at the banquet had greatly exceeded Pepper and Tony's expectations. Not that it's too bad, it's too good. On Earth, even men and women who stand at the top of the pyramid are very interested in the special taste of things. So after hearing the recommendation of the Rat King, I was also curious.

Signaling to the housekeeper, the housekeeper personally presented a product, a very common piece of raw meat, red, but for some reason, Pepper, who used to eat medium-cooked beef, looked at the meat for no reason and felt sour.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing what the butler had presented, Beta hurriedly spoke, "Since we need to send Ms. Potts and Mr. Stark back first after the meal." So why not let her try again the next time Ms. Potts visits? ”

"Shut up, Beta, are you questioning me as a king?" The Rat King angrily spoke to Beta. Hearing the Rat King's words, Beta lowered her head, but her trembling shoulders seemed to suppress something. At the same time, I looked at my watch frequently, as if I was sure of something.

"What is this?" Tony's seemingly uncaring opening. After an hour or two in this world, he didn't believe in this group of guys at all. It's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Now the rat who was not dealing with him brought out a strange food for Pepper to eat, and of course he had to ask.

"This is black tiger meat, although it is very rare, but it is not a very important thing." The Rat King said with a nonchalant expression: "Its taste is very peculiar, you can really taste it." ”

"Okay!" Seeing that the Rat King was so enthusiastically invited, Pepper couldn't refuse, she grabbed her knife and fork and cut off what seemed to be said to be black tiger meat. The blade is cut on the raw meat. For some reason, she also had a feeling that her heart was like a knife. But this feeling passed by in a flash, as if it were an illusion.

"Don't!" Just as Pepper was about to put the meat in her mouth. A shout was heard. Stopped Pepper's next move.
