Before, the little devil said that the Rat King was not 100% orderly, because he was also involved in the chaos faction, but in fact, the Rat King may be the real order, and the reason why he endured the stench and stayed in the sewers was to maintain the order and balance in the sea market. Vertices

If it weren't for someone like the Rat King, the sea market would have long ceased to exist.

I suspect that this may be the reason why the cultists are reluctant to kill him, because they know that without the Rat King, the final fate of this steel city must have collapsed completely.

However, from the cultist's point of view, if they need the Rat King to maintain the stability of the sea market, they can actually draw a line with the Rat King and not interfere with each other, in that case, why do they still use Whispers to control the Rat King.

I have a hunch that the reason why these cultists have infiltrated the Rat King's gang may have a more complicated plan.

The shantytown in the mouth of the rat king is near an old abandoned waterway, and since stepping on this waterway, it seems that the air is covered with a layer of pale green mist, this mist is like a poisonous miasma, but there is no poisonous and abnormal smell, and the sight is not disturbed because of them, but all the scenery illuminated by the lights is reflected in a layer of dirty green, like a large area of moss attached to it.

Seeing that there was no one around, I asked the Rat King, "What's the matter with this fog?" ”

The Rat King responded, "Twenty years ago, the pillars of the underworld cracked, and some of the dust splattered here, and since then, this place has been shrouded in strange mist, and many people believe that the dust on the pillar has attracted this fog. ”

"It's a bit of a."

"It's quite ridiculous, but the fog did only appear after the foundation pillar cracked."

"What is the base pillar, the support pillar of the underworld?"

"To be exact, it was a tower made of undersea stones, it was the original sea garden, and it was the strongest building in the entire sea market, without its support, the sea market would have collapsed long ago. The reason why I know how terrible the underground world is because I was involved in the restoration of the foundation pillars, when we went to a dozen people, and only me and the pig's head came back. It was also after that incident that the pig's head became what it is now. ”

"What did you encounter underground?"

"Villains. The whole underground world is full of villains, after we repaired the pillars, they launched an attack on us, the competition for survival in the underground world is far more severe than the surface world, and this has also given birth to many masters among the underground people, they are extremely good at fighting, ruthless, and do not hesitate to attack. Do you know why they attacked us? ”

"It can't be a robbery, right?"

"Pretty much, but what they want is food, but during the time we repaired the pillars, we ate almost all of our food, and they knew it. What they want is our flesh. In the underworld, cannibalism is common, and as long as they can survive, they can do whatever it takes. ”

"Haven't you ever wanted to leave here and live outside? Since Haishi has so few resources, the only way to survive should be to get out, right? ”

"But leaving the sea market means facing the king of the yellow coat, everyone who was born and raised in the sea market, as long as they dare to go to sea, the king of the yellow coat will board your ship......"

In the end, the Rat King seemed to remember the extremely painful past again, and suddenly closed his mouth.

Listening to what he meant, if the little devil wants to send the demon mountain out of the sea world, it means that the magic mountain will also face the king in yellow, but I guess the little devil should not know about it.

If the people of Haishi want to leave Haishi, they must first pay a hundred bags of gold coins to Haiting, so much money is something that the vast majority of Haishi residents cannot earn in their lifetime, and the reason why Haishi has set such a rule should be to protect those residents.

It is impossible to directly spread the news of the King of the Yellow Coat's sealing of the sea, once you spread this kind of news, there will be chaos in the sea market.

Before the news has been disseminated, such a group of cultists has appeared in the sea market, and if it is dispersed, the entire sea market will be ruled by the cult in an instant.

Coming to the edge of the shantytown, the king in yellow took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "In another fifteen minutes, it will be bedtime in this shantytown." ”

"You also set a time for them to go to bed?"

"In this kind of place where there is no sunlight, there are all kinds of people, and the curfew is also a helpless move. A real pest that likes to act when everyone is asleep. ”

I nodded, and didn't say anything more.

The competition for survival in the sea market is extremely cruel, and it is normal for some seemingly counterintuitive rules to appear here.

And I found that the environment of Haishi was far more complicated than I had imagined, and almost every one of them was careful in this place, and this caution did not seem to come entirely from the environment, as if there was an invisible fear that was suppressed in everyone's heart.

Fifteen minutes later, the lights of the shantytowns were turned off one by one, but the street lights in the center of the shantytown were not extinguished.

Light can dispel darkness and give fear to those who try to make trouble in the dead of night.

After another half an hour, a black shadow peeked out of a shack in front of me, and I squinted my eyes and could only make out that it was a man lying on the base of the wall and looking out, but he was hidden in the projection of the house, unable to see his appearance clearly.

The Rat King frowned slightly and tucked his pocket watch back into his arms.

Since we were also standing in the shadows, and with the blessing of the concealment technique, the person under the corner of the wall could not see us at all, so he was very careful, and he lay under the base of the wall and watched for nearly ten minutes before he came out from behind the base of the wall.

The left side of this man's face seems to have been burned by fire, the skin between his left eye and the left corner of his mouth is all wrinkled, and the hair on the left half of his head is bald, revealing a large area of the same wrinkled scalp.

It's just that his eyes have a ruthlessness and deceit that are completely inconsistent with Junlang.

The Rat King frowned several times when he saw this person, and he seemed to hate this person very much.

After the scorched-faced man left the shantytown, he quickly slipped into a road shrouded in green mist, and the Rat King and I waited for a moment before tiptoeing to catch up.

When I arrived at the entrance of the corridor, I noticed that there was also a row of rune characters engraved at the entrance, which looked more like some kind of strange spell against the green mist.

At that time, an idea suddenly sprung up in my heart, is there some kind of connection between the King in Yellow and the Shadow Brotherhood?
