Now is not the best time to be open and honest, and you must first arouse the appetite of the Mouse King. m.

I asked the Rat King, "Do you know the Iron Maiden?" ”

Old Tang's ship should be famous in the sea market, he once said that the ship originally belonged to the founder of the sea market, and judging from the sea worm's always wanted to take the Iron Lady for himself, that ship should have extraordinary significance.

Sure enough, the Rat King replied in the affirmative: "But all the locals know about the boat." However, I heard that the ship had not received a mission for a long time, and the seas had not been peaceful in recent years, and every demon hunter who boarded the Iron Maiden had lost their lives in the Sea of Fog. ”

"I'm the combatant on that boat."

"Are you...... Why did you get here through the sea of fog? ”

"The reason why the old fighters of the past died in the Sea of Fog was not only because the whispering of the deep sea caused them to lose their hearts and go crazy. After the whispers of the deep sea sounded, an evil spirit would sink into the cabin, and I couldn't tell what this evil was for the time being, except that it could spread a special kind of corpse gas in the air, which could make the living forcibly corpse transform. ”

The Rat King frowned, "I've indeed heard about that...... Whisper, but what are you talking about? ”

"I didn't just say it, I can't tell what it is."

"None of this matters, I'm interested in how you made your way through the sea of fog. Why didn't you hear that whisper? ”

"Of course I heard it, and it's not the first time I've heard it. Fortunately, whispering had limited effect on me, otherwise I would have survived. ”

"It's impossible, mortals can't resist the effects of whispering!"

When the Rat King said this, his emotions became quite excited, and at the same time, I could feel that there was a little fear in his words.

I immediately reflected: "You heard the whispers too?" ”

Hearing me say this, the Rat King's face turned paper white with a brush.

I continued, "I don't have to lie to you, look at me, don't I live a good life now." ”

There was a hint of expectation in the eyes of the Rat King: "How did you carry it?" ”

"Don't talk about me yet. When did you hear the whispers? ”

"Three months ago."

"Does it have no effect on you?"

"Yes. The day after I heard the whispers, I had hallucinations about what the world was like...... It completely changed in my eyes. ”

"There's flesh everywhere, the people around you have become monsters, and the color of the sky has changed, right?"

"Did you see those sights too?"

"Of course. Not only did I see those scenes, but I almost thought that the visions in the illusion were real, and the real world became an illusion. ”

"I feel that way, too."

"And how did you carry it?"

"This yellow pill," the Rat King pulled out a small paper bag from his pocket and carefully opened it, as if what was wrapped in it was more precious than his net worth and life: "This medicine can make hallucinations disappear." Three times a day, three capsules at a time, after each dose, the effect of the medicine only lasts for about six hours. ”

I picked up a pill, held it in front of my eyes and looked at it carefully, this kind of pill is artificially pressed at a glance, the process is very rough, just rubbing it with my hands, I can rub off a lot of powder, I sniffed the powder left on my fingertips, the smell is slightly bitter, and a little smelly, I can't say what material is used to grind it.

Finally, I dipped the tip of my tongue in the powder on my hand, the large particles of coarse powder almost melted in my mouth, and when they completely dissolved, I could immediately clearly feel that there was a strange aura that I had never seen before slowly swirling in my mouth, it first swung down my palate a few times, and then rushed into my meridians at a very fast speed.

At the same time, there was a slight upheaval in my soul.

This medicine really acts directly on the soul, no wonder it has the effect of blocking illusions.

I condensed my mind to get rid of the strange spirit in the meridians, and then asked the Rat King, "Where did these medicines come from?" ”

"I got the pig's head."

"Where did you get that?"

"From a pharmacist named Dragonfly, he's the best pharmacist in Haishi."

Pharmacist? Don't make a fuss, the apothecary can't make anything like this, and if you say he's a wizard, I'll probably believe it.

"Are you sure that the pharmacist gave these pills to the pig's head by the pharmacist, have you ever seen the pharmacist?"

"Pig heads don't lie to me. I've never seen a dragonfly, he's a very filthy man, and I don't deal with anyone like that. ”

"You paid a lot of money to buy these medicines, right?"

The Rat King didn't respond verbally, just nodded sullenly.

If I'm not mistaken, these pills must have come from cultists, who first used them to squeeze the Rat King's assets, and then got rid of the Rat King when there was no more oil and water to squeeze.

It is estimated that Ymir and Eros will not be much better off than the Rat King now.

Now Ymir's most trusted chief of guard has become the minions of the King in Yellow, and the person most trusted by the Rat King is probably the pig's head, and these small yellow pills are precisely handed over to the Rat King by the pig's head.

It seems that this group of cultists has set up a rather big situation in Haishi.

What are their goals and what do they want?

I took a deep breath and said to the Rat King, "Does anyone else know about your situation other than the pig's head?" ”

The Rat King shook his head: "No, without my permission, he won't tell anyone else." ”

In this way, it ruled out the possibility that the pig head entrusted someone else to get the medicine, which he had indeed received from the cultists himself.

I nodded and said, "I'll tell you the truth, the reason why I signed up to be a gladiator is to attract the attention of you and Eros, so that I can reach you. ”

"Why?"

"I caught a cultist a few days ago, and I learned from him that a large number of cultists have now infiltrated your gang and are plotting to restore order for the King of the Yellow Coat. In a few days, the cultists will carry out an assassination operation against Ymir, and I think the assassination of you and Eros should be carried out soon. ”

The Rat King immediately frowned: "Why should I believe you?" ”

"You have no other choice, relying on your own strength, you are no match for this group of cultists at all."

"Why do you say that?"

"Just because they can cheat you out of your assets with just a few bad pills, just because the people you trust the most have become their minions, just because I can completely free you from the illusion."

When I said the last half of the sentence, the Rat King was indeed moved, but he still didn't seem to believe that the pig's head would betray him, and his eyes kept hesitating.
