Hao Ren ignored the panic and begging for mercy expression that the gray rat tried hard to show, and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"I...no...no, sir, I can do whatever you want me to do, but please don't let me do this kind of thing." The fearful expression on Squirrel's face this time was genuine, "Mrs. Mary
It will kill me! She will definitely find out that I betrayed them..."
"Mrs. Mary? It seems that she is the witch who 'hired' you," Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "Listen, if you take us to find her, you will die after seeing her. If you don't take us
If you go, you will die now - life is very precious and you should count every second carefully."
It's not that he suddenly developed a hobby of intimidating others, but he knows that it is useless to deal with such cunning minions who wander between the human world and supernatural forces. The only language they can understand is money.
and violence, and when things are more dangerous, the most effective language is the latter.
Appropriate intimidation is indeed quite effective. Squirrel's face instantly turned pale. He realized that the man in front of him with a kind smile was actually not as harmless as he appeared. He was also a predator in the dark world, and he was quite ruthless.
That category: begging for mercy and delaying are ineffective against this kind of guy.
"Sir, please do well," the gray rat's face fell completely. "I'm just a rat in the gutter. The witches just let me keep an eye on whether there are witch hunters and other residents of the dark world passing by. They are here to
They gave me owl potion and some ointments...but they didn't let me know any secrets! I didn't even know the place where they held the witchcraft meeting. The only thing that contacted me was some puppets made by witchcraft. I took a look at it.
Report what happened to the puppets and get new ointments. Except for the first meeting, they have never even appeared in front of me... I really can't help you."
Hao Ren frowned and said to himself that this was indeed the dark age after the end of the mythical age. Even the witches and wizards who used to be servants of the aliens were already so cautious. You know, during the mythical war, people like them
Vassal characters will not even be included in the hunter's hunting list. However, this caution is understandable. The gray rat in front of you is enough to explain everything: the loyalty of this "rat" is simply negligible, and you can even
I don’t know whether the last employer of these guys was a demon hunter or a vampire. They may even be loyal to two masters at the same time!
However, the caution of the witches was expected. Hao Ren gave Lily a subtle wink, and the latter immediately increased the strength of his hand again. The squirrel even heard his own neck making a crisp sound: he almost felt
The opponent will break his neck in the next second.
"Then take us to contact the 'Mrs. Mary' you mentioned," Hao Ren looked into the squirrel's eyes, "take us to the contact point, and I will take care of the rest."
"I...I know," Gray Rat has never been a brave person, so his psychological defense can only support this point, "I will take you there...I will take you there...cough
Cough, please let go..."
Hao Ren said to Lily: "Let him go."
"Hey, I thought this guy could be a little tougher," Lily casually threw the skinny man to the ground. "After all, he was making a living in this 'business'. I didn't expect him to be so promising. That Pierre back then
Er Ke is more principled than this."
"Nonsense, Pierre is a detective from the spirit world, and this one is a mouse from the spirit world. How can they be the same?" Hao Ren rolled his eyes at the husky spirit who had no idea. "The two of them are close to each other in the workplace..."
Lily thought about it and agreed.
The negotiation with the squirrel was neither long nor short. The night became darker and darker as time went by. The originally bright moonlight gradually disappeared behind the clouds at some point. There was a burst of sound in the distant streets and alleys.
Lily's ears twitched slightly at the sound of rings colliding.
"Someone is approaching," she looked at Hao Ren, "it's probably still a few hundred meters away."
"They are soldiers on night watch." Gray Rat was not surprised why the girl could hear people's movements clearly from such a long distance, but showed a nervous expression, "We must leave here first, otherwise we will definitely attract people from the church.
Coming..."
Hao Ren nodded and motioned to the local snake to lead the way, while he and Lily followed closely behind.
A group of three people walked through the intricate, dark and cramped streets of the medieval town.
I don't know when the wind started blowing up in the quiet night, and the clouds in the sky moved very fast. A bright moon appeared and disappeared in the clouds, casting an unpredictable ghost-like shadow on the earth. In this era of lack of entertainment, the town
The residents here have already fallen asleep. There are not enough street lights, and there are no lights leaking from the houses. In addition, the moonlight is often blocked by clouds. The narrowest and remote alleys are like huge black mouths that are daunting, but the squirrels are
By specifically choosing such an alley to move forward, he is really like a rat in the gutter, taking advantage of these "gutters" filled with sewage and odor.
It was not that he had never thought about taking risks and escaping. In fact, when he got into the first dark alley, he could not help but come up with this almost crazy idea. However, his final sense made him wake up in time, and he remembered that person.
The figure of the girl in the long skirt swept through the entire street like a gust of wind. The speed was far beyond human imagination. Even after taking the owl potion, he could not follow her figure with his sight, let alone with his strength.
The small advantage of being familiar with the terrain can help you get rid of control.
Now he just wants to know what these two "dark world residents" who suddenly appeared want to do. He wants to know whether they are the witch's enemies or friends (although it seems that the former is more likely now). If he can do something about it,
Understanding this, he at least knows how to please the other person.
It's a pity that these two mysterious people who suddenly appeared are different from any "employer" he has ever come into contact with. They seem to have clear goals and are not interested in any interests and power entanglements here, except for inquiring.
Apart from the information about the witches, these two people didn't care about anything.
This is not good news for the "minions" who make a living by selling intelligence and acting as informants.
But he still wanted to try to change the status quo.
"Distinguished sir, and this distinguished lady," as he gradually approached the contact point, Squirrel finally mustered up the courage to break the silence, "I think it is necessary for me to know who I am serving now, right?"
Hao Ren was observing the movements around him. Their speed had now slowed down. They were obviously closer to the dirtier and more backward areas of the city - he originally thought it was a town when he saw the dilapidated and messy streets.
Now that he has run so far, he understands from the scale that this is actually a fairly small city, but medieval cities generally lack planning and cleaning, so they look particularly backward - the surrounding streets and alleys are more dilapidated than before.
The houses are almost crumbling, and beggars can be seen crouching in the shadows on both sides of the sewage-filled streets from time to time: the curfew system is meaningless to these poor people who are already homeless, and the slums where they hide are also on night watch.
A place that the old soldier would never visit.
These dilapidated streets are an even more barbaric and backward part of the barbaric and backward Middle Ages. It is their existence that gives other places a slightly "civilized" atmosphere.
The gray rat's voice made Hao Ren stop for a moment. He looked back and said, "Do you think we are demon hunters?"
The word "witcher" seemed to have the power of a curse, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on Gray Rat's face: Obviously, if he really took two demon hunters to find the witch's contact point, then he would definitely
I won't survive until tomorrow morning.
Hao Ren smiled. His hand touched the holy silver dagger at his waist, but he did not expose it. Instead, he lightly touched Lily beside him.
Lily immediately understood: "Landlord, are you hungry? I'm a little hungry too..."
Well, if you can successfully communicate with this husky spirit and understand it, then you have a ghost! Sure enough, when this girl cooperated to scare people before, she was absolutely superb, right?
Hao Ren gritted his teeth and said, "Where are your ears and teeth?"
Only then did Lily wake up. She bared her teeth at the squirrel, and a pair of "wolf" ears came out from behind her hair. At the same time, a pair of sharp canine teeth glowing with cold light gradually poked out of her mouth.
came out.
"Wolf..." Squirrel took a breath of cold air, and suddenly felt that he had just passed by the god of death. The werewolf is the most notoriously moody among all kinds of "masters", "Okay, okay...I
Got it, please put away your fangs, I will lead the way..."
After Lily put away her fangs, the squirrel felt even more relieved: At least he wasn't a witcher. If he was a werewolf... he shouldn't have such a big hatred against the witch, right?
He doesn't know much about the "innate hostility" relationship between the various dark races, but as far as he knows, half-human, half-monsters like witches and wizards have the lowest hatred towards other dark races, especially those with werewolves.
Harmony, take the "two werewolves" to meet the wizards, and as long as you make up your words more smoothly, Lady Mary may be able to spare herself.
What he doesn't know is that the reason why wizards and werewolves have a close relationship is because werewolves were the group that "supported" the most wizards in the ancient mythological era. They even like to raise wizards more than the vampires: werewolves have a long inheritance of shadow spells.
, and their spells are relatively simple and more suitable for humans with ordinary talents to learn. As for the vampires...
The profound magic of the vampires is almost impossible for humans to understand, and rather than teaching stupid humans magic, the vampires prefer to directly transform humans into blood servants, which is simple and efficient, and has unparalleled loyalty.
These secrets of the mythical age are not accessible to people like Gray Rat.
