Zula's question caused Xu Nan to fall into a pretended profound silence, but in the next second, the nezumi leader, who looked extremely serious, suddenly relaxed and added:

“…… Of course, on the other hand, this is not a bad thing. ”

"At least the Itka rats now complain about the metal sounds of your city-state's mines in their sleep, not the frightening whispers and chantings."

Xu Nan's eyelids raised slightly, finally to the point?

In fact, he has always been curious about the origin of the devil in Zula's mouth.

Although there is Paradise Lost as a backing, the information in Xu Nan's hand still does not explain the ownership of the mysterious power near the emerald mine, even Mr. Smith, who has great powers, is vague about this, and Xu Nan is embarrassed to go to Romang for everything.

What's more, the recent Romang is also a dragon without seeing the end, and it is said that he has a hot fight with An Suli - twilight love can also be so passionate, which makes Xu Nan have an indescribable envy.

To get back to the point, Xu Nan actually attaches great importance to the Itka rat people, since they have lived here for so long, they must have some understanding of the emerald mine and the mysterious power nearby, and maybe they can catch some of the sources of the "curse" in Jiang Yuanchi's mouth.

"I want to know more about those devils."

Xu Nan got straight to the point and said solemnly: "You don't have to question my belief or strength, that day near the Well of Delusion, you should have seen my ability." ”

In fact, he didn't even understand how to repel the demons and monsters in the well with a stick, but in order to get information, he always had to pretend to be a big guy, didn't he?

He originally thought that after hanging Zula's appetite for so long, and sending miners to harass the rat tribe day and night, this guy should not be able to hold back and have a direct showdown.

Unexpectedly, the mentality of this rat man spellcaster was very stable.

He smiled rather ugly:

"Itka rat people only open their arms to their friends."

The implication is that it is for benefits, right?

Xu Nan was unmoved, but said lightly: "Kill those devils, and we will naturally become friends." ”

Zura's face was shocked, he tried to block Xu Nan's mouth, but Xu Nan easily dodged it.

"What? Do the devils of your mouth still have eyes and ears in your house? ”

Xu Nan deliberately said unashamedly.

Zula was a little uneasy: "Not really, but as far as I know, these terrible creatures have a natural sensitivity to malice, and I am afraid that your remarks will lead to disaster!" ”

"The Itka tribe has never been afraid of any evil existence, it's just that we are too weak, we have struggled for many years, and our living strength has been exhausted......"

Speaking of this, Zula looked a little bitter.

The mood of the rat leader gradually declined, Xu Nan suddenly took out a harmonica and put it to his lips, and coughed twice: "It's better to listen to a song first." ”

Zula was stunned for a moment, not allowed, but not stopped.

Xu Nan blew to himself.

To be honest, he doesn't play the harmonica well, but the tune itself is derived from the "Requiem", one of the three troubadours!

This song is accompanied by the solidification of the bard's ability, and it has been integrated into Xu Nan's blood, although he is not a serious bard, he still chose his own spell-casting medium, that is, the harmonica that is the easiest to carry.

After all, he is just a functional bard, and if he really sings with his voice open, he is afraid that he will hurt the innocent, so it is better to silently use the power of the poetry and music itself to have some effect.

However, the result surprised Xu Nan.

The harmonica requiem is amazingly effective, in stark contrast to his cappella: not only is Zula in the house relieved from the anxiety she had just had, but before she knew it, Zula's house was already full of Itka rats!

They listened to Xu Nan's light movements with fascination, as if they had fallen into a wonderful summer night dream.

Until Xu Nan put down the harmonica and the surroundings were quiet, most of the rat people still didn't want to wake up.

"It doesn't seem that I played it well, but that these nezumi had never seen a bard's song, and Zula was not lying, they were plagued by the devil day and night......"

Xu Nan sighed softly in his heart.

The Itka rat people and the emerald mine have a very far-reaching origin, and the devil that plagues them is sacred is something that Xu Nan needs to know urgently.

After pacifying and evacuating the rat people who were attracted by the sound of the piano, Zula wiped his somewhat moist eyes, and actually looked at Xu Nan with some emotion: "I didn't expect you to be a great musician, what is the name of this instrument?" Why is it possible to play such a beautiful song? ”

"I don't know how to describe the feeling just now, maybe I haven't been so comfortable and comfortable in many years."

"You're such a great musician."

Xu Nan coughed, instantly attributing the bard's ability to his extraordinary talent.

Well, the benefits are Xu Nan's own, and the disadvantages are naturally that Otsen is behind the pot, which is so real!

"It's just rough music, but I've done a little bit of research on soothing the mind."

This is not false, whether it is the ability of a bard that has been mastered, or the apostle of desire that is about to advance, it is actually a profession that has a very powerful influence on the mind.

Xu Nan's eyes stared at Zula's small eyes, trying to increase his infectiousness: "My city is about to take root here, and I don't want to be unprepared for those evil creatures in your mouth. ”

"Tell me what you know, maybe I can help, maybe ......"

"You will be liberated."

As soon as the words fell, Zula's breathing became a little rapid.

His small eyes couldn't hide the glow of some excitement.

It seems that the rats are indeed suffering from unimaginable torture day and night, even Zula, who has a good ability to cast spells, is instigated by Xu Nan's rather seductive language.

This time, he didn't stick to his heart for too long, maybe he had endured too long years, and under the guidance of his charismatic charm, he finally said the information that Xu Nan wanted to know.

……

The Itka Rat Tribe.

To be precise, it should be the Itka Rat Kingdom. Yes, the Itka rat people may not seem to be many in number, yet they were once a great kingdom not so far ago.

In the earliest days, the Itka rat people lived on a fertile land, and Xu Nan speculated that it should be a half-plane with a good environment, and maybe even a garbage half-plane of a fallen legendary mage; With their industrious hands, they create abundant fruits.

Unlike most nezumi tribes, the Itka are a rare race that specializes in farming.

Zula's ancestors had thought that their peaceful life would continue, but soon, disaster struck for no reason.

In the pumpkin field, a metal gate appeared, and the curious nezumi opened the gate, and soon some terrible soldiers and wizards rushed out of the door, and they plundered the place in a frenzy, and the nezumi who lacked warriors eventually collapsed and became their captives and slaves.

These soldiers and wizards were hideous in appearance, and they were about as tall as the rats, and the ancestors of Zula later learned that the creatures were called gnomes.

The gnomes came from another world and colonized it, and the rats learned that the realm of the gnomes was full of magical powers—power called magic.

Hearing this, Xu Nan almost immediately guessed the origin of these dwarves!

Obviously, they came from that magical civilization that had been tainted by the God of Blood!

Sure enough, Zula's subsequent conversation provided a lot of corroboration.

After gaining great magical strength, the gnomes formed a terrifying alchemy army, and they were not satisfied with the war in the native world, and began to expand outward; And the Kingdom of the Itka Rat is their first stop.

They built an outpost here as a base point for their expansion into the outer worlds, and they built a dark gate that served as a gateway to a magical civilization.

At first, the gnomes were ready to wipe out the nezumi.

Later, after some consideration, they gave up on doing so, and instead made the nezumi their slaves, and guarded the terrible place that Zula called the "Gate of Sighs" for the rest of their lives.

In order to prevent the nezumi from rebelling, the gnomes somewhere found a weak but proficient devil in contracts, and with the help of that devil, the two sides signed a contract of blood slavery for the rest of their lives.

Itka rat people, who will be the slaves of the Morka gnomes forever.

However, all this is only the beginning of the Itka rat man's nightmare.

They struggled to live under the oppressive policies of the gnomes, and one day, a terrible mutation occurred at the Gate of Sighs, and all the gnomes who went to fight in the outer world were strangely lost.

The rats were ecstatic, thinking they would finally be free; Through various means, they confirmed that the Morka gnomes could no longer enslave them for unknown reasons.

So they wanted to flee.

Escape from here, escape from the Gate of Sighs, escape from that terrible magical world...... According to Zura, their ancestors did try this.

But they failed.

The gnomes are dead, but the devil is still there, and the contract is still there.

Although the devil was too weak to even fight against so many nezumi, he had the contract in his hand, and at the very beginning, he had manipulated the contract, and he tried to take advantage of it and turn it into his own slave, but he failed.

The two sides entered a long tug-of-war.

I don't know how many years have passed. The whole world has changed dramatically, and the rat people have become weaker and weaker under the torture of the devil, and finally one day, Zula's father, the former priest of the Itka rat people, he makes a crazy decision.

In his dreams, he heard the whispers of another evil being.

The next day he got up and began to dig the well without saying a word.

Under the watchful eyes of the rat men, he dug for thirty days, but there was nothing in the well.

That well is naturally the later well of vain.
