MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 42 Exchange (below)

Communicating with these mutant rats is much smoother than the company imagined. In many ways, these ratmen have shown flexibility beyond the wizard's imagination. Many times they will even accept the proposal put forward by the cheese without any scruples. This also gave the mage a faint illusion, as if communicating with him was a normal human being. Yes, they are human beings, but they have subconsciously excluded them from human beings. Then, the problem is coming. Who were these ratmen? Or, who were they when they were humans?

The meeting cannot go on indefinitely. After the cheese showed enough sincerity, the atmosphere on both sides of the meeting was not as tense as before. Even during the intermission, these ratmen allowed Gloria and the mage to chat for a while, although this It is in the case of four giant ratmen.

"Who are they? Are the people I see now the leaders of all the ratmen now?" This is the most important concern for cheese now. If these mutant ratmen are the managers of all ratmen, then the problem of the spread of the plague that he is worried about can be largely solved. As long as these variants are allowed to control the range of activities of ordinary protozoans, it may be easier to solve this plague than imagined.

But Gloria ’s answer did not meet the mage ’s expectations. Because of her relationship, the Countess ’s identity is now a prisoner, but to be honest, if it was not for her, she would treat herself and these mutant rats Put on the opposite, it is likely that she is the chair of the meeting at this time. Even so, these few days of getting along have already given Gloria a comprehensive understanding of the status of these mutant ratmen.

After all, in this era, the great aristocrats, especially local lords such as Earl of Saron who have merit and kind treatment to the people, are very appealing on many issues. Although the ratmen have become non-human creatures However, after all, they used to be humans. Because of their previous memories, Gloria, the last descendant of the Salon family, is actually very noble in their eyes. This also makes them almost conceal any information when facing Gloria.

"In fact, they call themselves sobers. As you can see, although sobers have the ability to guide nearby native ratmen, they can't constrain them as you want. And according to them, because food is getting more and more The fewer the native ratmen in the valley city began to spontaneously spread to the surroundings, I am afraid that this situation is happening throughout the count. "

"Is this ..." can not be disappointed, if things develop really as expected by the cheese, it is really impossible. The mage has noticed since he was arrested in the Eastern District. In the face of those irrational native ratmen, even these mutant ratmen can't command like superiors and subordinates.

"So, have you ever asked who these sobers are originally? Do they have anything in common?"

Hearing the mage's question, Gloria did not answer directly. She pointed to the four giant ratmen guarding them.

"These four were the ones I had talked to before. There were two carpenters, a mercenary and a teacher. As you can see, I had the same idea as you before. At that time, I tried to talk to as many people as possible to understand their origins, but the result seems to be that anyone, regardless of gender or age, may become sober. This is like a random choice, their appearance is almost completely Random. "

"Well, this is also a possibility. By the way, Gloria, are these sobers all residents of Valley City?" This question is also very important for the mage, only to understand the mutant ratmen and ordinary With the transformation ratio between rat-humans, he can further explore why there are mutant rat-humans.

"This is not the case. These sobers come from almost all counties. After they have recovered their reason, they want to come to the Valley City for help. But they don't know that the entire Valley City has become like this. Gloria said with her head down, seeming to be frustrated for not helping these sobers. As the daughter of a lord, it is her responsibility to educate the people in the territory from an early age.

Hearing that the cheese was silent for a while, he thought of something. If these sobers did not choose to come to Valley City after sober, they chose to take the native ratmen around to continue to prey ... The idea made the mage fight a cold war. Brainless ratmen can only be regarded as terrible opponents, terrible but not invincible. But with the inclusion of these sensible commanders, the pressure on the border defensive forces may be out of control. This is very possible, not everyone can control themselves like the sober in the valley city after discovering that they and the people around them have become horrible alien monsters. Fear and abandonment can cause them to have a deformed hatred of normal humans, which is common in various similar incidents that the cheese has read before. And even the Ratmen in the Valley City, if there is no wise leader, I am afraid it will not last long.

"By the way, who is the leading sober person?" The cheese has always been curious about the black ratman, because in the first half of the meeting, when both parties were nervous ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ Almost completely relying on that black ratman to convince other ratmen to continue the meeting. If there is no black ratman, the mage is sure that this exchange will not be as successful as it is now.

"Are you talking about Mr. Hall? He was a former city hall official and one of the nobles loyal to the Saron family. Before me ... I mean I saw him many times before the outbreak of the plague. He was my father ’s best. One of the trusted subordinates. So I am really happy to see him again. "Gloria said.

This makes sense. A person who has held important positions in the government is naturally prestigious in the local area. And the most important thing is that it seems that Mr. Hall has a deep affection for the Salon family. This can be seen from his treatment of Gloria. With such a person to lead, it is not surprising that these sobers of Valley City can do this step now.

"Cough ..."

With a light cough that interrupted the conversation between the two, the break time was over. Like the cheese, the sober people exchanged views on the issues just discussed during the break. From their expressions, at least now these mutant ratmen are quite satisfied with the guarantee given by the mage. Gloria apologized and was taken back to the sobers by the other giant ratmen, and the cheese was taken back to the previous position by the four giant ratmen.

After a conversation with Gloria, the mage now knows more about these sobers, which also allows him to find their claims more accurately in the following communication. Slightly squeezing his right hand hard, the mage now has to persuade these ratmen to help himself more. The possibility of the uncontrolled sober makes him more worried about the spread rate of the plague, and he must study it faster. Antidote, at least, let ordinary people no longer be infected.
