520 Retreat

"Gray rat?"

Sawyer was slightly stunned. He had never heard of this word. After all, he had replenished supplies here three days ago. He just listened to some legends about the boss's wife while drinking and warming up in a tavern. As for the name "Gray Mouse" that sounds like a slander, he naturally wouldn't know.

"you do not know?"

The boss's wife was also stunned. Although the special group of people like "Gray Rat" rarely appears around the city in recent years, and ordinary people have gradually forgotten the existence of these people, the guy on the other side is a Sixth Ring Knight, and he has never heard of it before?

"Isn't this a little special?"

When Suoya saw the boss's face, he knew that he must have asked some common sense questions. He was embarrassed, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only deal with it vaguely. This kind of thing was more reliable by relying on the other party's own imagination.

Sure enough, as soon as Sawyer finished speaking, he saw the boss lady showing a clear look. His expression changed several times when he looked at Sawyer, and then smiled and explained to Sawyer.

The so-called "gray rat" is not so much a special professional title as a derogatory title to some people.

As the old saying goes, human nature is complex. Even in this era when the whole nation is fighting against the gray fog, there are also people who are devoted to themselves and ignore the overall situation. For ordinary people who do not have the talent for cultivation, it is actually nothing. After all, doing their duties well and not making trouble is considered to contribute to the general trend. However, for those masters who are qualified to practice and have the ability to fight against the black tide, this personality is disgusting.

In the long past, when the unstable zone had not yet appeared, there were not many experts who were so selfish that they ignored the overall situation and harmed the interests of the city for their own selfish interests, or most of them were hidden well. Until nearly a hundred years ago, the unstable emergence allowed them to see opportunities.

After the unstable area appeared, all the gray fog passages between the seven major rings were almost cut off, so that all cross-ring caravans either gave up the transaction between the rings or had to risk going through the unstable area. For the material transportation teams of major rings, crossing the unstable area has become a task that must be taken, not to mention the adventurers who want to enter the unstable area to "seek treasures". Over time, a lot of equipment and supplies were left behind in the unstable area.

At the beginning, the actions of these people were not very different from those of ordinary adventurers. However, the goals of ordinary adventurers were mainly teleportation stones and other energy crystals. If they encountered legacy equipment and materials, they would also choose to bring the most cost-effective ones. However, the main targets of these people were the equipment and materials left in the unstable area. Instead, they rarely searched for a small number of energy crystals and teleportation stones that were invisible.

Of course, there is another difference that ordinary adventurers will respond to the call of Huancheng. When the Kuroshima is about to be born, they will return to Huancheng and fight the Kuroshima together. However, these people rarely return to Huancheng before the Kuroshima is born. Instead, they will return to Huancheng when the Kuroshima is about to end and collect the equipment of those dead masters in the gray fog.

At that time, although people were very despised by these people, they would not deliberately target them. At least from a certain perspective, these people were also helping the Huancheng party recover the losses, although this behavior was paid.

At that time, people called this group of people "corpse pickers". Although it had some derogatory colors, it could at least be considered a neutral word.

But a few years later, rumors of corpse pickers attacking passers-by were heard from intermittent strongholds. After some transportation teams caught the corpse pickers who were committing the crime, people's attitude towards these people changed immediately.

The guardian badge of the corpse picker was deprived of, and his identity information was entered into the blacklist of major cities. Many of them even had portraits of wanted orders. In the end, after killing a large number of corpse pickers, this matter was gradually suppressed.

But the remaining corpse pickers did not repent. They replaced them with gray protective gear, blended with the gray fog, and wandered in the unstable area like ghosts. They were still collecting lost equipment and supplies, but they rarely took action against the passing travelers - unless they were sure to wipe out the other party.

Therefore, in the gray fog strongholds around the city and the gray fog near the city, people gradually forgot the existence of the corpse pickers, but among the intermittent strongholds, the corpse pickers became a special existence: everyone knew what they did in the gray fog, but could not provide strong evidence. Most people also wanted to expel them, but retreated because of their strength.

In the end, the corpse picker became a major force entrenched in intermittent strongholds, and people no longer called them "corpse picker", but changed to the "gray rat" with a very derogatory color - the rats wandering in the gray fog.

After roughly introducing the origin of the gray mouse, the boss lady talked about some more secret information: "However, I know more about these guys."

It is obvious that for the violent beasts in the gray fog, a gray outfit cannot deceive their perception. No matter what a person looks like, for the violent beasts, it is as obvious as a torch in the night. Moreover, for the violent beasts, the traces of the practitioners are even more obvious, just like a bonfire in the night, even if they are hundreds or thousands of meters away, they can be seen at a glance.

Therefore, the gray dress of the gray mouse is not used to avoid violent beasts, but is specially used to deceive the sight of passers-like travelers - just like an assassin who likes to hide in the shadows, the black dress will make them more hidden.

In dealing with violent beasts, the gray mice have a special way to integrate into the gray fog.

Since the violent alien beast is very sensitive to all non-gray fog creatures, wouldn’t it be better to disguise itself as a gray fog creature?

This idea is actually correct, but it is not possible to disguise yourself as a gray fog creature by changing clothes, but you must undergo transformation of gray fog - just like the ashes warriors and ashes wizards eroded by gray fog mentioned above.

However, there are essential differences between the gray rat and the ashes wizard and the ashes wizard. Most of the ashes samurai and the ashes wizards exhaust their supplies and energy in the ashes, and then they are eroded by the ashes, that is, they passively accept the transformation of the ashes, and eventually they can only become puppets of the "Yiu Mun Will", just like a violent beast in the shape of a human.

The gray rats are different. They actively accept the transformation of gray fog. After this transformation reaches a certain level, they actively isolated the connection with gray fog and ended the transformation of gray fog.

In this way, they can have the characteristics of gray fog creatures, thus avoid being attacked by violent beasts, and ensure the independence of their own will. Although their personality will be somewhat affected, people who can become gray rats are selfish enough. If they are in this world, they will have the opportunity to complete "hi" and become gods. This slight influence is not enough to change them.

At most, it just makes them more selfish.

"In other words, it's a group of cancers in the world?"

Listening to the boss's soft explanation, Sawyer finally became a little excited.

No matter what the reason is, these guys who have accepted the transformation of Gray Mist, are actually betrayers who betray the world and throw themselves into Gray Mist. If they kill a group of people, they should be able to gain a wave of favor from the world will, right?

"Thank you, this information is very useful to me!"

Sawyer clasped his fists solemnly, but the boss's wife covered her mouth and smiled: "Everyone said that they are serious businessmen, so you get what you pay for. If you charge you so much more, it's okay to give you a few information. If you need any information..."

"want!"

Before the boss's wife finished speaking, Sawyer suddenly spoke: "I still need information about the space-time crack."

"Space cracks, no problem. I'll get you a map now and mark the places where space cracks often appear..."

The proprietress nodded and was about to get up and leave when she was pulled by Sawyer.

Looking at Soya's wrist, the boss's face changed instantly. The look of looking at Soya also showed some bad things, but he heard Soya say, "Boss, please wait a little later. What I want is not the information of the space crack, but the information of the space crack, the space crack!"

After Suoya emphasized the word "time and space crack", he let go of the boss's wrist. However, the boss's wife frowned: "Are you here to find a teleportation stone? If you look for a teleportation stone, you don't have to find a space crack in time. Many teleportation stones that appeared before were left in a corner of the unstable area."

"No, I'm not here to find a teleportation stone," Sawyer shook his head, thought for a while, and took out the teleportation stone that Royna sent him. "I already have a teleportation stone. I'm just here to find a space-time crack this time."

"I'm here to find a crack in time and space?" The boss's tone was a little surprised, "Can I ask why?"

"This is the first time I heard someone selling intelligence ask why," Sawyer laughed, "But haven't you guessed it?"

"There is no end..."

The boss muttered a low voice, not only did something sound, but his mood also became a little depressed, but then he smiled again: "For the sake of the crystal coins, I would like to remind you that the time and space cracks are not so easy to pass, and since the unstable zone appeared, only three people have successfully passed the time and space cracks and reached the endless land."

"Isn't there still three people? My luck has never been bad."

Sawyer continued to smile, trying to make his voice sound lighter, but the boss lady ruthlessly broke his disguise: "Then you should also understand what strength those three people are. Two of them were unsupported by the title knight and the title mage. The remaining one is also the peak knight. When he came back from the Land of No End, he was still seriously injured, and you..."

Just a knight.

Sawyer understood the boss's wife's remaining half of the words, but just smiled slightly. His strength could not directly apply to the realm of this world. However, since a peak knight can pass through the cracks of time and space, after he breaks through in seclusion for half a month, I guess there is no problem, right?

"Thank you for your size, but I still want information about the space-time rift."

Sawyer did not ask the boss's wife if there was any information about the time and space cleft. Judging from the information I heard before and the boss's wife's performance, this girl who is only twenty years old is actually not simple. She just persuaded herself, which also shows that she is likely to know about the time and space cleft.

That crystal coin, the value of the flower!

"Since you insisted," the boss lady paused and smiled sweetly: "Then come to see me when you are about to leave the stronghold!"

“This is nature.”

Sawyer nodded. Things like space-time cracks will exist for a long time unless they are large-scale dragon breaks. The space-time cracks that appear in the unstable zone will basically last no more than one day, and most commands will last for several hours. Even if the boss's wife has information about space-time cracks in her hand, it will definitely be the space-time cracks that will appear in the past few days, and it is impossible to predict the space-time cracks that will appear in half a month.

The boss's wife nodded, turned around and left, but stopped when she reached the door, turned her head and asked Saoya: "Do you need me to deliver food to the room in the past half month?"

"Didn't you guessed it too?"

Sawyer shrugged his shoulders. He didn't think that just a six-ring badge could make the boss's wife really think that he was just a six-ring knight. To some extent, the boss's wife was even more powerful than the sapphire king Royna he had seen before, and was even somewhat similar to that mysterious witch.

"Of course, however, it is my responsibility to give customers a good consumption experience. After all, I am a businessman."

The proprietress smiled playfully, turned around and disappeared at the door.

1hi: In Nofi's words, it is defined as "king power/starlight". One of the ways to become a god is to achieve the state of "I am the world is me". Since the whole world is part of the dream of the god head, once a person realizes this truth, that is, "the whole world is the dream of the god head, and I am also the dream of the god head, and it is not true", according to the rules, it will disappear instantly when he realizes this and all traces are erased. But if a person is selfish enough, he will retain a trace of himself and understand, and achieve "I am the world is me", becoming a patch for the god head, which can affect the entire world to a certain extent.

Of course, once Hier's thoughts loosen, they will disappear in an instant, so this way of becoming a god is not stable.
