It's been a day since I was caught by the proto-nezumi. Although Leon said that the nezumi would throw in some food from time to time to ensure that the prisoners would not starve to death, this did not calm Cheese. For the mage, the purpose of his trip was to find the origin of the nezumi plague and suppress its spread, and now, in the nezumi stronghold, where there can be an inexhaustible supply of samples for him to study and analyze, Cheese feels that he has never been so close to the truth. But looking at what he has done in this treasure mountain, apart from knowing and befriending many knights of the Kingdom Knights, he is completely wasting his time!

But no matter how mad Cheese himself was, it didn't help his current situation in captivity, and the mage didn't think about using magic to get out of trouble, and as far as he could have learned, there were still a few magic tricks that could help him get out of the cage. But so what? It's a fool's dream to stay out of the nezumi in this dimly lit underground cavern, and it's a big joke to escape with everyone here, not to mention whether they can withstand the attack of the nezumi without weapons, and to rely on them as humans to get back to the surface through the intricate tunnels alone.

Moreover, ever since he knew that those mutated proto-rat people could still understand human language, the mage had always wanted to communicate with these guys, as long as he could know what had happened in the early stages of the plague spread, cheese would be able to determine who the plague was spreading more quickly, and at the same time, as long as he was sure that it was a magical plague created from that system, it would be much easier to determine its cure.

Perhaps the idea of the proto-rat people to capture the mage and others was similar to that of Cheese, and the opportunity for communication that he longed for soon appeared.

"Squeak ......"

As the gray-haired rat-man reappeared, everyone in the cage unconsciously stood up. I saw that the proto-nezumi pointed to the cheese and barked a few times at the giant nezumi who came with it, and the giant nezumi obediently opened the cage, as if to take the mage away alone. The others, of course, couldn't sit idly by, and they kept Cheese behind the crowd, with Leon standing at the front of the crowd to block the giant nezumi. Cheese keenly observed that when the Blood Lion stood in front of the giant nezumi, the hand-held giant nezumi flinched significantly, as if Leon had left a terrifying impression on them before.

"Gas!" The gray-haired nezumi saw that the giant nezumi were actually frightened by a bare-handed knight chief, and let out a somewhat annoyed urging sound, and the giant nezumi looked at each other, and then at Leon standing in front of him, and finally decided to follow the orders of his superior. They use their massive forelimbs to swing in front of the crowd to drive away those who stand in front of Cheese, and once someone is still in the way, they assume an attacking stance and let out a menacing roar. Helplessly, it was undoubtedly extremely stupid to fight an opponent like the giant nezumi shirtless in such a small space, so although Leon was reluctant, he got out of the way. And the attitude of the chief knight also represents the attitude of many knights of the kingdom, although they don't mind fighting with the nezumi, but as they said before, paying the price of blood just to delay the time for the mage to be taken away by the nezumi is indeed not a good deal.

As the knights gave way, only the three Northlanders led by Elsa were left in the middle of the giant nezumi and cheese, and there was no fear on the face of the boss lady in the face of the giant nezumi who was still nearly half the size of the normal person after bending over. Although he chose to surrender with Cheese before, it was when it was confirmed that the safety of the mage could be guaranteed, and now these rat people want to take Cheese out of the sight of several people alone, which the three of them will never agree.

Seeing that several giant nezumi and the Northlanders were in a stalemate, it seemed that a fierce battle would break out between the two sides at any time, and just as the gray-haired nezumi was about to give the order to kill Elsa and them, Cheese's right hand put on the shoulder of the proprietress .

"It's okay, I'll go with them. "Cheese, who didn't wear a gray robe, looked like a man who had just come of age, and even because he had been engaged in research for many years, he gave people a little weakness. This makes others very skeptical that he can protect himself well. The proprietress looked into Cheese's eyes, and after a few seconds of eye contact, she moved out of front of the mage.

"Two days, if you don't come back in two days, I'll fight these rats to the death. As Cheese walked past Elsa, the proprietress said with her head down. The mage did not reply, but the hand placed on the latter's shoulder was slightly forced, as if to agree to the agreement.

The gray-haired rat-man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cheese come out on his own, knowing that they didn't have to capture them alive in the first place if they wanted to kill them. The rats have their own agendas, and these people are more useful alive than dead, so if they can, they don't want to kill people in order to separate Cheese from the others. But the mage's cooperation still saved these nezumi a lot of trouble. The next thing is to take him to his destination.

Following this group of proto-nezumi, Cheese left the cell, they walked through the intricate corridors, at first the mage was able to remember the intersections he had walked, and even tried to draw a map of the crypt in his head, but as more and more forks in the road and seemingly meaningless turns, these nezumi seemed to be deliberately taking some meaningless long distances, and soon, even Cheese had to give up the idea. The mage could predict that apart from these nezumi, there would probably be no creature in this world that could not get lost in this labyrinth, provided that they did not break the walls of the labyrinth out of anger.

With this in mind, their steps finally stopped, and the mage was ushered into a room lit by a few candlesticks, escorted by several giant nezumi. You know, this is a rare place in the underground rat den, where the overall lighting is extremely weak, and Cheese followed the candlelight to see the many mutant rat people in the room. To be honest, it was the first time to see these special individuals at such a close distance, which were different from ordinary native nezumi, and the mage was straightened by their eyes.

But soon, one of the most special of these nezumi made Cheese ignore this, as for why this nezumi is special, on the one hand, because it is the only ordinary individual in this group of mutant nezumi, and also because Cheese finds out that he actually knows this nezumi who is surrounded by all the mutant nezumi. Unlike all nezumi who are almost naked, the nezumi's brown hair is visibly trimmed, and it even wears a special costume that has been cut specifically for the nezumi.

"Gloria, why are you here?"
