When the sun lights up the snow on Longji mountain for thousands of years, the residents on the south side of the ridge ushered in a new day. Different from the barren snow fields on the north side of the mountains, under the moistening of Longxue River, the creatures living in the south side are striving for a better life every day. Just as the fertile soil left by the forest fire will give new life nutrition, the memory of turmoil also makes people united and energetic.
But some things will not change, whether they are in turmoil or not. Frost guards are still watching their homeland on the snowy mountains, and the banks of Longxue River have pink and lavender flowers in summer. These beautiful wild flowers have been spreading in the wild, even over the dilapidated city walls, open in the ruins of Xigu city. Xigu City, once a fortress at the northern end of the grey lion, was destroyed in the rat plague. Even the castle belonging to the Saron family, which was built as the Lord''s residence, was destroyed by the demons.
However, now the city is not completely abandoned, it is still a river valley city, but a way of existence. If you''re brave enough to step in on a sunny day, carefully find the passageways hidden behind the rocks or in the ruins, and follow them winding down, you will be able to reach the newest urban area of the city, which belongs to the rat people.
The underground world of Xigu city will be beyond the expectation of many people. No one can imagine that in the eyes of Cang lion and other people who come to this northern border country for various reasons, the barbaric, ugly, dirty and obscene race will establish such a regular and clean living space under the soil and ruins. The walls of the cave were made of fired bricks, and the huge rock sleeping in the ground was hollowed out into a natural room, and the water seeping from the soil was guided by the canal to the collecting basin. The torches burning in the corridor add special spices to the air, making the air filled with a deep smell of herbal medicine, which can inhibit the growth of disease, but also can make the moist underground air more pleasant.
Of course, it is difficult for rat people to transform their randomly excavated caves into such a short period of time. The man who planned and provided the technology to realize the underground city in front of them was the wizard who lived in the stone tower above the city, that is, the person who rescued them from the rat man plague. He was respected by all acquaintances as "mentor".
"Is the tutor still reluctant to come to the celebration tonight? Everyone is very eager to see him. " At the end of the usual business, a rat minister, with a somewhat helpless expression, inquired of their baroness, Gloria salon, the last member of the saloon family, the legal heir to the city.
In the face of his subordinates'' inquiry, the mouseman Baroness gave a wry smile. "You know our tutor''s temper. He hasn''t been out for months since the count of Heishan came back last time. I can''t help it. I think the only one who can get him out of the studio in this valley city is Ms. Elsa. "
At the same time, on the top floor of a building on the ground called the cheese tower, Ms. Elsa in Gloria''s mouth is working hard to get the wizard out of the door. The red fox, who has grown up completely, can be called a tall woman, perhaps due to the genes of the northerners. Her height is no less than that of a man. Her long red hair is like a flame of jubilation with her body. That pair of clear eyes reminds people of the quiet pool water in the mountains, beautiful and full of vitality.
However, Elsa could not easily let the wizard out of his room. "Anyway, it''s also the celebration of the fifth anniversary. You, as the tutor of the rat man, should attend anyway!" She frowned a little and said to the man behind the wide wooden table. At the same time, her body is slightly bent, and she seems to be looking for opportunities to turn over the table at any time, and directly use practical actions to achieve her own ideas.
The wizard behind the wooden table is obviously aware of this. He intentionally or unintentionally draws closer to the wall behind him and opens the distance between himself and the wooden table. At the same time, I walked around the back of the chair, hoping that in case the other party crossed the wooden table, he could also rely on the seat to gain time. "As I said, that kind of celebration is meaningless to me. Gloria is their substantive leader, and it is the best choice for her to lead the celebration! I am only their instructor, not their Lord. I have no obligation to attend such an occasion
Elsa raised her eyebrows when cheese was said. Indeed, rat man and grey robe were not subordinate, which was something cheese insisted on from the beginning. He didn''t want to be the king of the rat people, just wanted to make sure that these poor people, who had been distorted by the magic plague, could not really become beasts before they could regain their identity. This event has made great progress in the past five years. With the establishment of underground cities, it is the construction of rodent people''s understanding of themselves and the establishment of a complete set of social structure.
Perhaps because of her experience, Gloria was far better at managing her people than anyone expected. The meaning of wizard is also to take advantage of this, to enhance Gloria''s prestige before herself, and gradually replace the wizard in grey robe and become the real leader of rat people. Therefore, since two years ago, he has consciously reduced the impact on rat society and reduced the number of occasions attended. Even if he imparts knowledge, he also allows capable rat people to learn in this tower. In this way, he wants to transform himself from a man who can be touched into a less real legend. In this way, when they can no longer take care of them, they will not panic.But whether such a reason can persuade the stubborn lady from the foot of Longji mountain is another matter. "I don''t care what you''re going to do, Jack, they and Rosa will come today. I heard that lady Amelia also sent messengers, and even Archduke liehammer sent greetings! There''s no reason for you to keep looking at these things on such occasions! " Red fox said, stretching out his hand to try to grasp the cheese clothes, and the mage in time to tighten his robe to avoid the other party''s surprise.
"I don''t think there''s anything to do with what you say and I have to be there. Mona''s condition has stabilized since last year, and Rosa''s tattoo is nothing unusual. As for the Witch and hammer, we have nothing to do with it. I don''t need to go to this celebration to achieve anything. On the contrary, Helen will come here for training from next year. I have to spare time to make up for the useless knowledge so that I can give it to Rosa''s daughter. That''s what I should do now Cheese''s body moves in the opposite direction with Elsa''s swing.
"Not that! Ah You this, this Wizard After thinking about what words should be used to describe cheese for a long time, red fox chose to give up, "the celebration is not to let you do something, don''t you want to see them? We haven''t seen each other like this for a long time. Don''t you want to know about them? "
Cheese blinked. "If they''re in trouble, they''ll come to me. So if we really haven''t seen each other for as long as you said, that''s a good thing
"You..." Elsa finally gave up the idea of persuading cheese completely. She stopped talking. With a strong foot, the whole person jumped onto the wooden table like a vigorous beast, and then jumped at the wizard! And the seat between her and cheese really played the effect that the mage wanted to achieve. When she crossed the seat, the height of red fox was obviously insufficient, and her right leg hit the back of the chair and made a crisp sound. With the collision, her body also lost its balance in the air and fell to the ground, and before she landed, her hands had firmly caught her.
"Well, I''ll go."
