Chapter 532 Moon Rat

Hôtel Blacktail

As the most distinctive hotel in the entire Rat City and the one that receives the most foreign tourists, the hotel itself has a very high status.

 The boss [Congreve Blacktail] is a well-known strong man in Rat City.

However, such a hotel mysteriously collapsed at night. In addition to a large number of onlookers, several completely different noble ratmen also came from the inner city.

One of them was holding a flute. When the flute sounded, a large number of rats swarmed into the ruins of the building to explore the situation. "Congreve is dead because he revealed the secret of the abyss..."

A certain possum noble lurking underground made a sound in his belly: "What a fool!"

 Another female aristocrat with a pink tail exposed under her long skirt said:

 “That’s not necessarily stupid.

Congreve, who was extremely timid and only knew how to hide in the cracks in the wall, was not so stupid.

He knew very well how serious it would be to reveal the secrets of the abyss. It was very likely that he was forced by others or even induced by thinking to accidentally reveal it.

There is no doubt that a certain outsider staying here must have considerable strength, completely superior to Congreve, and even more powerful than a few of us.

Furthermore, it happened in the space between the walls created by that guy Congreve, and there is no way to figure out the specific reason.

It’s really dangerous~ How about we go report it? If you let the adults know, maybe the matter can be solved in advance. "

"Do you want to die? Feiqi, if you report it without any clues, you will be killed directly."

“That’s right, hey~ Then we can only pray that the other party is not here to cause trouble, it’s just because Congreve is seeking his own death.”

 …

As soon as William left the hotel, he contacted yesterday's leader, Keith White Teeth.

When Keith came from home and saw the completely collapsed hotel, he was stunned with fright. Although he didn’t know the reason, his intuition told him that it was probably related to the young man in front of him.

“Boss, what happened to your clothes?”

“Something happened. Can you lend me some fabric?”

 “Boss, wait a moment!”

Keith immediately transformed into the crawling form of a mouse, quickly ran to a store not far away and bought back a piece of black leather, which barely fit William's clothing and could be used as a patch after being slightly cut.

William mainly wanted to cover his exposed buttocks, otherwise he would always feel cold.

 “Where does the boss want to go today?”

“Take me to the center of the city and give me a formal introduction to Rat City. If you can’t find a suitable hotel at night, I can stay at your house. The cost will be settled with you later.”

"no problem."

 Keith did not interfere with the hotel affairs and devoted himself to the work of leading the way.

The structure of Rat City is quite simple, roughly divided into two parts - [Inner City] and [Outer City], or [Aristocratic Area] and [Public Area], even separated by a stronger corpse wall in the middle.

The buildings in the inner area are all made of dark stone similar to the Black Tail Hotel, which is a special ore mined in the Darknest Mine. It is dark and refuses light, so that the entire inner city is shrouded in darkness for many years, which is exactly what the mice want. Like the dark nature.

William looked at the "Black Rat Guards" who were patrolling at the bottom of the corpse wall and were equipped with thick armor.

 “Can we go to the inner city?”

“Boss, are you sure you want to go in? Many rats who go to the inner city will lose contact for a long time or even die. This is because the nobles living there enjoy forcible control over the common people.

　　If someone takes a fancy to us, they can take us to their home as slaves at any time and no one dares to resist. "

"It's okay, I'm here...if you can't get in, I'll find a way myself."

Keith would not waste such an opportunity to earn performance, and said quickly: "Yes, yes, I have a friend who happens to be a black rat guard. As long as we give a little money, he will let us in."

 After some communication with Keith, it was easy to get through for ten yuan.

The moment they set foot in the inner city, darkness instantly enveloped the two of them. Even Keith, a mouse, would tremble in such a dark environment.

but,

William did not feel any discomfort. He immediately turned his sights to the center of the inner city, where a tower stood far higher than other buildings, even higher than the city wall.

It is very strange that according to the height of the tower, William should have discovered it long ago. He could easily notice such a strange building even standing outside the city.

“Keith, what’s going on with this tower? Why couldn’t we see it before?”

“[Dark Moon Tower], built with the purest dark stone, will only reveal its shape in the dark. It is a very magical building.

 It was created by the second city lord, and the position of the city lord has not changed to this day.

 The story here is also very bizarre. "

"Oh? Let's talk as we walk... Don't worry that we will be targeted by the nobles. I have already released some kind of pupil interference."

"OK!

It is rumored that the first city lord when Rat City was first established was a tumor-bearing knight personally appointed by Cancer Palace. He was also the only knight in the knights with rat characteristics.

The reason for being stationed here is very simple. One is to expand the power of Cancer Palace, and the other is because of the Dark Nest Mine that can produce special dark stones.

The first city lord ruled the entire Rat City with absolute tyranny, forcing the rat people to give birth to children. He sent manpower to the mines at maximum power. Every month, he had to transport enough ore to the Cancer Palace so that he could get from the Cancer Palace. Benefit.

 However, this tumor-bearing knight did not enjoy the life of "getting something for nothing" for long.

 Among the millions of miners, a special being appeared.

That mouse seems to have innate magical power, and the mining work can always be completed in advance. When night falls, he will climb to the top of the mine and admire the moonlight alone.

Even gradually he stopped going back to the city and slept in the mines.

 A few months later, the workers working together in the mine discovered that the mouse seemed to have a moon mark on its forehead.

 While everyone was discussing this matter in secret,

This mouse suddenly disappeared and could not be found no matter what, so some people rumored that he had received the gift of the moon because he was too pious. He was eventually led to the moon and had the opportunity to get along with the moon girl.

 Later, many rats even began to imitate it, using the mining gaps to admire the moon.

Some fools even delayed the mining work, and eventually incurred the wrath of the city lord, who cut off the head of the moon-watching mouse on the spot and hung it at the entrance of the mine. They even issued a special ban on the moon.

Any act of looking up at the moon may be considered a crime. From then on, no mice dared to be interested in the moon again.

 A few years have passed,

　When everyone gradually forgets this matter,

　　When the intense work day and night resulted in a large number of Ratmen being exhausted to death and public resentment arose,

One night, the rat people returning from the mine suddenly discovered that the moon tonight was so big and round that they even felt that the moon was just above the city, no more than a hundred meters away.

 With the falling of a beam of white light, the long-lost mouse returned.

At the same time, the sounds of fierce fighting were heard from inside the city. The sound of the fighting was so loud that it almost destroyed the entire inner city... No one dared to get close until a whole night passed and the head of the first city lord was hung on the city gate.

Regarding such a result, everyone is extremely worried about the great crime of killing the Knight of the Tumor.

As expected, the knights soon came to investigate, and it was a large force of more than a hundred people.

However, the massacre that everyone expected did not happen. Instead, a completely different woman walked out from within the knights, came to the mouse who killed the tumor knight, and gave her the identity of the second city lord and knight.

 As he ascended to the throne,

Everyone's life has also become better. Mine work has been cut by at least 70%. Everyone loves the new king and built the Dark Moon Tower in accordance with his requirements to achieve the closest reward. The moon even went directly to the surface of the moon through the tower.

pity,

 With the arrival of the invasion of the world, although we are not affected too much here, the moon is shattered.

As a result, the temperament of the second city lord changed drastically, and the entire rat city gradually reduced to what it is now. Rat people like us who were born later have never seen this city lord, and we don’t even know his name. Know. "

"Interesting story...that is to say, there is a tumor knight from ancient times who lives in this tower, and he is also the giver of the moon."

 “If he were still alive, he would be.

 Boss, you must not approach the tower~ Not to mention whether the city lord is still inside, there is currently a ban in Rat City, and anyone approaching the tower without permission will be executed by the Black Rat Guards. "

 “Well, I understand.”
