"Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Plague! a plague that will turn people into half-human, half-rat!"

"Isn't that something that only exists in the county of Salon? Didn't the surrounding lords already send people to block the borders of the county of Ssalon to other directions?"

"They've failed! I've heard that both the Black Mountain Collar and the Hammer Collar have seen those infected monsters! And there are more and more of them!"

"How is that possible...... I heard that the Blood Lion and that Lothar and the Hammer Rose have all gone to blockade, will they also miss?"

“............”

Walking down the streets of the Lion King, Cheese didn't wear that trademark gray robe, which was Roland's suggestion. According to the old man, the gray robe can indeed allow people who have been helped by the cheese teacher to come and help, but it also means telling the other person about his arrival. And since the top priority of cheese is to find clues, it should not be too ostentatious. At the same time, while Roland was dealing with their accommodation for the night, he asked Cheese to go out into the street first to inquire about the recent news in the royal city. In many cases, the discussion in the streets will spread faster than the official information.

Cheese listened to the chatter of the residents of the royal city around him, and his brow was already furrowed on his hooded face. Although he had known for a long time that his potion could not completely solve the problem of the rat-man plague, he did not expect the potion to be invalid so quickly. And after the potion is gone, the plague will spread so violently. This is completely unconscionable, considering that before leaving the county of Salon, Cheese had gotten rid of Gloria and tried his best to collect the nezumi who were still rational, and as for the nezumi who had turned into brainless monsters, whether it was Heather or Leon, Cheese believed that they had a way to defend their positions. With the strength of the nezumi, the number of soldiers stationed on the periphery of the county should be sufficient after understanding the opponent.

Even when he was in the Iron Castle, Cheese asked Lord Wolf about the plague, and he was told that the Iron Castle had received no one who had actually fallen ill with the rat-man plague, except for a very small number of refugees from villages near the county of Salon. Therefore, if the castle lord's answer is true, then I am afraid that the plague that is being discussed by people now is what happened during the time when Cheese was thrown into the royal city by the lich's circle.

From his previous conversation with Roland, Cheese could preliminarily conclude that a whole day had passed since he was teleported from the out-of-town cemetery in the Iron Castle to the vicinity of the royal city. This is not a very long time in the event of an accident, and those that are disrupted are likely to throw their users years or even decades later, and only a day has passed in the process of teleportation, which has to be said to be a very lucky thing. In addition, Cheese was going to come to the royal city, so the time of the day was much faster than the hurry. If anything, the accident left Cheese with no way to get the information he wanted from the lich, and he was separated from his partner.

Thinking of his partner, Cheese's brow furrowed even deeper. He was very worried about what would happen to Elsa and them if he disappeared. Although Sander and Lord Wolf would not embarrass them, there was still a cursed crow by their side, and the mage really didn't think that he would not attack the others. Cheese knows his own style too well, and it is impossible to let go of the coolie curse crows sent to the door like the proprietress and them, even if they can't take it for their own use for the time being, but it is definitely not difficult to fool them into acting with him in the name of finding cheese. And after the battle of the Iron Keep, the mage actually didn't want to take Elsa and them further into the event.

The presence of the Cursed Raven meant that even the teacher of Cheese thought that the current situation could not be solved by Cheese alone, which meant that the Lord of the Grey Tower recognized the strength of the unknown enemy. In this case, having the boss lady and them involved is really tantamount to letting them die. Originally, Cheese planned to let Elsa and them return in the Iron Castle, even if they could not return to Dragonspine Mountain, whether it was the Iron Castle or the Kingdom Knights of Lyon, it would be enough to protect their safety. But now......

Shaking his head to shake the worry out of his mind, Cheese continued his stroll. Unlike the Hammer Leader, who was always worried about the invasion of nomads, the Lion King City could be said to have never been threatened by foreign enemies since the kingdom of the kingdom. Therefore, the people in this city are not the same as those in the border cities of the Iron Fort. All kinds of vendors and pedestrians are surging in the streets like a torrent that will not stop, and in the middle of the road there is no sound of the roar of the driver of the carriage to the pedestrians or other carriages in front of him. The roads are not clean, but the stains are a testament to the vibrancy of the city. Such a lively scene made Cheese somewhat confused when he was in it, and as a researcher of in-depth simplicity, he was not used to this kind of scene.

And since the mage didn't understand the rules of living in such a populated city, it was only natural that the predators in this jungle of humans would find the new guy smelling at it. A small figure slammed into Cheese's arms, and it looked like a child who was running too fast and accidentally bumped into a passerby. But the mage was not a rookie who went out for the first time after all, and he almost subconsciously grabbed the hand that the child wanted to reach for his waist. Such pickpockets can be said to be a group of people who are bound to exist in the city.

"Let go of me!" the child said in a slightly alarmed tone. Obviously, he didn't expect that Cheese, who looked weak, could catch himself so easily.

Cheese opened his mouth to say something, but he also noticed that when he grabbed the child, the pedestrians around him began to consciously avoid him, and some adult males who had been hiding in the crowd with a very fierce appearance began to gather around him, and seemed to be in a tendency to surround himself. In the end, it is the royal city, and even the thieves who steal here are not simple. Judging by the position where the men put their hands into their clothes, they must all be armed with weapons, and judging by the flow of people around them, if they rushed over and attacked the cheese, then the mage would definitely not get any help in time.

"Let me go, this is your last chance! If you let me go, they won't hurt you. Said the kid who was caught by the cheese. Obviously, a momentary miss didn't scare him, because he knew that even if he failed, his accomplices would come quickly. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would choose to let the child go at this time, at least to ensure that they would not be entangled by those hooligans who don't seem to be easy to mess with. It's a pity that he didn't meet an ordinary person, but a mage who was not in a good mood.

"The bald man on the left would stab himself for falling. Cheese lowered his head and whispered in the child's ear that he had deliberately lowered his voice so that it could be more oppressive.

And with Cheese's words, the child saw that the fierce accomplice with the scar on his face suddenly fell to the ground without knowing what was going on, and the knife he was carrying in his arms stabbed into his body. The man who suddenly collapsed and began to bleed attracted the attention of the surrounding passers-by, who ran away screaming as if the sky had fallen.

"The two guys on the right are going to hurt each other. The mage's whisper continued.

The two thieves on the other side were in confusion when they saw their companion's sudden fall, and at this time, for some reason, the shorter-looking one of the two suddenly stepped on the other person. The other man let out a low cry and began to question his companion what had happened, such a rogue would not have had a good relationship in the first place, and there was little need for any other reason for this small conflict to develop into a brawl.

"Do you want to read on?" Cheese's voice was like a devil's whisper in the child's ears at this time, and no matter how the child thought about it, he couldn't understand how the man who was holding him in front of him did all this he said.
