The pot, big enough, was originally used to hold pickles. He worked in the mine all the year round. The dwarf had his own experience in carrying and preserving food. But now is not the time to evaluate the quality of the dwarf''s pickles. In the jar that should have been filled with food, there are strange worms that feed on human beings. Their hairy bodies rub against the walls of the pot, making a chilling rustle. The cat goblin guarded the jar carefully to make sure that the contents did not crawl out of the jar itself, or that the mage''s act of throwing insects into the jar was too rude to cause the jar to collapse.


    As the mage took off the gloves, the sheet had been dyed red with blood. Although the child''s body was not full of holes, there were more than a dozen skin that could be cut. If cheese didn''t stop the operation to mix the potion and drink it to him, this time alone would have killed the poor man. But the current situation is not happy, whether the child can survive depends on the number of dice thrown.


    "Did these worms make him like this?" Cairas pressed the lid on the jar and asked sadly. He had seen what was perched on the trees of heaven, and knew the power of his offspring.


    "No, he''s going to be a monster because of animalization." A calm, hoarse voice sounded from the room. I don''t know when the bent figure in the cloak has been standing in the room.


    The dwarves and cat goblins were immediately on guard. Even if they had just been distracted by cheese surgery, they should not have been taken in by a living man. Instead, cheese slowly looked at the rat man after examining the patient''s condition in bed. "It sounds like you know something about the animal disease you''re talking about. Would you mind sharing some knowledge before we start talking about business?"


    Jerry was silent for a few seconds, then took off his hood. His appearance almost made Charlotte grab a chair and hit it. In fact, the dwarves did, but the mouse man''s agility allowed him to dodge the missiles. Then, cheese stopped the owner who wanted to do something else. "Don''t be impulsive. He''s my friend. He''s just like me. He''s a consequence of disease."


    Charlene opened his mouth and instinctively wanted to yell at cheese. There was no such terrible disease in the world that could turn a man into a rat. But the patient''s timely cough in bed reminded him that there were not only such terrible diseases, but also not far away. The dwarf''s face twitched, waved, turned and said, "I''ll get you and the child something to eat. I hope his teeth will still work."


    The dwarf''s position means that people in the room are more or less walking in the intersection of light and darkness, so there is no need to be taboo. The cat goblin did not leave. He wanted to take a closer look at what the once human man would say. However, he was keenly aware that it was different from that when he met for the first time yesterday. After seeing himself again, Jerry obviously had a shrunk reaction, as if he was afraid of himself. Why?


    The rat man''s fear was not obvious, and he soon recovered his state and returned to the original topic, "my understanding of the animal disease comes from a wizard, who is the target of my mission. According to the manuscripts and materials obtained after my engagement, his research has a great relationship with the disease, including the name I learned from his manuscript. After that, I also went to many places to inquire about the disease. After all, it may have something to do with me. "


    "It turns out I think too much. Zoonotic disease is not an infectious disease, nor a curse, at least not a curse with a definite source. Its appearance is like a freak, completely irregular, and is regarded as punishment from heaven in many places. In fact, it is true that only a very small number of children with animalization can grow into adulthood, and their appearance will show a high degree of animal characteristics, which looks like a combination of human and animal, well, just like me. However, most of the children with zoochemical diseases can not survive until they are ten years old, and their bodies will suffer to death in a state of mutual conflict. " Jerry''s voice was a little low.


    "Where I met him, I heard someone say they were going to eat him. What''s going on?" The mage suddenly remembered those hooligans who had been drunk back. Their words didn''t all sound like words to gain the upper hand in the negotiation.


    "Foolish customs. In areas where animal diseases are more common, people believe that children with zoonoses have some mysterious power, which is why the wizard I killed would study this thing. In a word, they will regard the children who grew up peacefully as envoys, imprison them in temples and pray to them, like some kind of living God. For those who died, people would cook their bones and eat them, thinking that their God was using this method to transmit power to the people. And this kind of damned custom is also brought into the stream naturally. It''s just that some localization changes have taken place. "


    The rat man looked out of the window, and the sky was gradually getting dark. However, for the torrent, the difference between day and night may not be as clear as that in other areas. "There is no behavior in this city that can be condemned except condemning others. All the habits and beliefs that can not be accepted in other places can be found here. Of course, cannibalism is included. Some people are due to evil customs, some people are out of worship of evil gods, and some people are simply to prove their strength to others. Animal patients are monsters. Eating them is not cannibalism. This is the default fact here. "Cheese and KAILAS looked at each other, and they saw the same complex emotion as themselves from each other''s eyes. If the encounter in the night fair last night was still within their acceptance range, and even they enjoyed the irregular freedom, what the rat man said really reduced their favor for the city. But they also know that only their own perception of this place will be reduced. Forcing people from all over the city to abide by their rules will only make this place lose its vitality. It''s very much like the belief in the spirit of the earth, which gives birth to everything and buries everything. Its beauty comes from its ugliness.


    At this time, the dwarf knocked on the door again. "You''d better go to the next door and I''ll find someone to change the child''s bed sheet. If you don''t know, I''ll kill people here. "


    In the next room were Jian Qi and ATA. They were not fit to move at present, so they were forced to lie in bed. After the three men came into the room with dinner, the swordswoman''s eyes were completely attracted by Jerry. She missed the meeting with the rat man yesterday. As for the latter, he was surprised when he saw ATA at first. He was ready to explain before frightening others. But to his surprise, ATA did not scream or wave his limbs hysterically. She just looked at him calmly, as if she were looking at an ordinary person.


    "Surprised? Taran doesn''t look at people by appearance. Her eyes can see your heart The cat goblin said leisurely as she passed by.
