Section 32
Williams Morrell's emotions are somewhat mixed: the disgust of not wanting to see something, the grievance of not being able to act, and the little joy?
"You should call me the Patriarch." Williams corrected after taking a deep breath.
"Your father called me ancestor, and I called your nephew." Annan said with a smile.
ββ¦β¦ So what's the matter with you? Williams skipped the topic.
"What about little Alma? This matter has something to do with him. β
It took Williams a while to realize that "Little Alma" was his father, and he swallowed his temper and said, "My father is still in the mountains." β
"Then you convey to me that I need a lot of rat ears, and ask your father to send them to me."
"What do you want this for?"
"Credentials."
Annan didn't go into too much detail, cheating is not conducive to his majesty.
Williams didn't refuse after a little groaning: "I'll tell my father, but the nezumi have a habit of cannibalism, and I'm not sure how much I can get." β
"The more the merrier......"
Annan changed the subject: "Now let's talk about what happened between us." Your look tells me you're in some trouble, my nephew. β
"I ...... You have to at least keep some respect for me. Williams was inexplicably a little lacking in confidence.
"You're right, then we'll have our own opinions, I'll call you patriarch, and you call me ancestor."
ββ¦β¦ Can you lend me some money? β
"What do you need money for?" Annan wondered.
"There's a group of rock giants from the south side of the mountain, and I want to hire them, but the price is too high."
"Clever strategy, war is to weaken the problem by any means necessary." Annan praised, "There is no problem, the money is left to me...... I have a request, though. β
"What?"
"You know, I'm a human being. I want vampires and humans to be friends, at least not pure predators and prey...... The Sturetts have promised me, and I hope you will do the same. β
"Friends ......"
"It's not difficult, you just have to get rid of the old tradition of treating humans as animals, stop killing indiscriminately, let them live back on the ground, and let them exchange their blood for food and shelter...... It also saves you the danger of catching humans everywhere. β
ββ¦β¦ OK. β
It seems that the situation is urgent, otherwise Williams would not have agreed happily.
In Williams's eyes, a sudden change in the way of eating would be very unaccustomed to the people, but it really had no other effect...... And the Sturetts did.
"Here are 10,000 gold coins, tomorrow you bring the mouse ear, I will give you another 40,000 gold coins." After saying that, Annan asked, "Is it enough?" β
"Lending me 30,000 gold coins is enough......" Williams looked complicated, he didn't expect that the matter that had left the castle anxious for days would be solved.
"Thank you for your help......"
Annan pulled up a long voice: "Huh? Thank whom? β
"Thank you...... Your help. β
Williams breathed a sigh of relief, and Annan closed the portal.
The Morrell family should be able to send hundreds of thousands of rat ears, but it is still not enough.
The rat ears of the Black Watch are definitely more than two million, if not more...... It took them all night to clean up the battlefield.
Let more than 30 commercial streets offer a bounty for rat ears at the same time? No, the movement is too big to hide, and tomorrow is the last day of the hunt, so it's too late.
Annan scattered the Hellfire Legion and the Fourth Legion so that they could kill as much as they could, while he stayed in the camp, looking at the phosphorus fire floating outside, pondering how to surpass Black Watch......
At dawn, Fermi suddenly ran over and said that he had spotted an anomalous team of nezumi twenty miles away.
"What's unusual?"
"They are very vigilant and actively avoid us...... The ranger fled before he could get close, and we couldn't catch up. β
"The Elven Ranger can't catch up?"
"Well, that nezumi team has a red can......"
Red cans, red capes - often the name they use to describe champion rats, as they will drape a red cloak over their fine armor and helmets.
However, in the hunting plan, the ears of the champion rat are not much more important than the slave rat.
Annan wondered where they came from and if they would know more about the location of the nezumi.
As for not being able to catch up...... Annan woke up a few white dragons napping in the camp and climbed on the dragon's back to let Fermi show the way.
About ten minutes later, Annan saw the group of nezumi squadsβred figures running alone on the grassland that had regained its greenery.
Its companions were all dealt with by the Elven Ranger who followed him.
As the white dragon appeared, the champion rat looked up at the sky, suddenly gave up and fled, and suddenly turned around and rushed towards the elven ranger.
Annan almost reminded him, but fortunately, the elven ranger knew that the enemy was difficult to deal with, and quickly retreated, but instead distanced himself from the champion rat.
The champion rat couldn't catch up with the elven ranger and tried to flee, but one silent arrow after another came at him.
In the midst of this, Blom landed and collided violently with the champion rat that rushed on his own initiative.
Bell β
Sparks flew around, and the champion rat, who had been on the run for several days, was actually on par with Blom, who was recuperating.
Realizing that it might be the Nezumi Priest's guard, Annan had the White Dragon lower in height and prepare to support Blom.
Seriously, if you let Mr. Fast come and you can't beat it, you can't beat it, and neither of them...... The three Fasts may be able to fight to pay the price and seriously injure it.
In this way, the strength of the champion rat in its heyday is almost close to that of the Grand Knight......?
In the second encounter, Blom staggered back, and the champion, who had only taken a step back, was about to seize his chance when he suddenly rolled over and leaped to the side.
Then the white dragon fell, splashing dirt from where it had stood.
As soon as the champion rat got up, a rope that came to life like a snake wound around it. It took only a second for it to break free of the rope spell, but a second dark shadow descended from the sky and pressed it under its claws.
Annan jumped off the dragon's back and circled to the front of the champion rat, who was pressed in the mud and struggled.
The McKenn Rat is already larger than the other clans, and the Champion Rat is even two meters in size, but it does not have the distinctive characteristics of the Slave Rat, but is ...... It's a little more anthropomorphic.
The sharp, thin snout and rodents are degenerate, the wide, round ears are hairless and close to the elven-like pointed ears, and the broad back is no longer arched by the features of the nezumi.
Its face was hard to see because it was covered with wet mud after the rain, but the soft lines completely got rid of the rat-man's hideous appearance-
Annan thoughtfully: "Are you a Stoon rat?" β
"Dirty...... Human stuff. The champion rat let out a hoarse curse.
Annan looked at it calmly: "Which of the two of us is cleaner?" β
"Dead ...... Human thing, die! It's mine...... Sister...... Won't let it go! β
"Do you have a sister?"
