A strange world

Chapter 806 Chapter 37. Gray Rat Priest

Jerry only knew that the gray rat priest was from the Stern clan like himself, but he didn't expect that it was actually a female rat...

The gray-haired rat priest stood waist-deep in the biting stream bathing, and Jerry stood on the shore like a javelin, just like a rat-man version of the story of the princess and the knight in distress.

After washing off the mud and blood on his body, the gray-haired rat priest stepped back to the shore.

Jerry lowered his head: "Master Gray Rat, let's go back to the nest capital now..."

"No, the hive has been exposed."

"Master Grey-haired Rat, the craftsman and the mother rat are in the rat nest, we must go back and inform them..." Jerry suddenly said in a blissful mood: "How about you hide here, and I will go back and remind them."

"……me and you togather."

The gray-haired rat priest walked up to Jerry, and the height difference between them made Jerry feel trembling again.

But the gray-haired rat is the real upper echelon of the clan, and Jerry is not qualified to get too close to it, even if he is the champion rat captain.

Putting away the desire in his eyes, Jerry picked up the wet gray-haired rat priest and rushed to the rat nest.

The cold night wind robbed the body temperature of the weak gray-haired rat priest, but the warm and strong body next to him made it warm again.

The cold appearance of the gray-haired rat priest is quickly evaporating with the water stains on his body...

Late at night, they approached the rat's nest.

"We'll stay here for a while," said the gray rat priest. "You take the time to rest, you will need Captain Jerry to protect me later."

Jerry was no longer polite and leaned against the rock, closing his eyes that he had not closed for several days.

I don't know how much time passed before it suddenly woke up with a tingling sensation.

The irresistible thorns of evil energy wrapped around Jerry, and as his breathing rose and fell, pain surged in like a tide.

"Master Grey-haired Rat, what are you doing..."

"you tricked me."

The scarlet eyes on the short and narrow muzzle of the gray-haired rat priest looked at it coldly, and the soft gray hair like silk fluttered in the night wind.

Jerry had no time to appreciate it and said painfully: "I don't have it, Mr. Gray Mouse——"

Snapped!

The fluorescent green whip of evil energy struck Jerry's face and only swept away a piece of cilia, but the pain it exerted on his soul penetrated deep into his bones.

"You have one last chance."

Jerry gasped for breath: "Master Gray Furry Rat...I'll tell you the truth, it was Annan's stuff that was traded with me..."

"You mean Annan?"

"Does the Lord know about him?"

How could the gray rat priest not know about this impostor who almost ruined the Stun clan's plan in the north?

If it weren't for the subsequent confrontation between Annan and the Kingdom of Rekaner, which caused the Stun clan to give up revenge and reap the benefits, Annan would have died in endless revenge or sunk in corruption.

The gray-haired rat priest mocked, "What do you mean he helped you?"

"Sir, Annan's stuff is not a favor for me, it's a trade! Annan's stuff needs a lot of rat ears. I will trade with him and cut off the rat ears of slaves in the hive city to him in exchange for you..."

Of course Jerry couldn't tell the truth... He didn't care about Annan's stuff, but he didn't want to implicate his sister.

"Annan let me go just for some ears?"

"He said mouse ears are very important..."

The gray-haired rat priest was thoughtful.

The Steen clan is good at playing tricks, hiding in the dark, bewitching, assassinating, corrupting, and sinking people... It keenly senses that this seems to be some kind of opportunity...

"Jerry, I promise that your championship captain is still effective." The gray rat priest released his control on Jerry. "Tell me all the details of the deal between you and Annan."

…

When Annan rushed back to the Northern Great Wall, everyone, including imperial officials and regimental commanders, were waiting for him.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"Have you collected enough mouse ears?"

The legion commander's teasing laughter made Annan feel that he knew something. He blushed slightly and nodded: "It should be enough."

"Then pour it all out," the young official said.

Annan came to a nearby open space and first released the half-million rat ears he had hunted with his own hands, and then released the hundreds of thousands of rat ears sent by Williams. Finally, he took out the magic bag and dumped the rat ears Jerry had brought. out.

"It's all here..." Annan felt guilty.

A ray of magic light fell on the mountain of rat ears. After a moment, Archmage Albek said: "Five.3 million rat ears. Special envoy, please continue to announce."

The young official shook his head helplessly and announced: "Second place...Black Watch, 4.8 million rat ears, and ten mountain potions as a reward."

Annan breathed a sigh of relief. The legion commander was indifferent, but other forces had different expressions.

They all knew that Annan could not have killed four million ratmen on the last day, and Black Watch had killed more than five million ratmen... But anyway, even Black Watch himself had no objection, and they had no reason to expose the empire. And Annan’s nastiness.

"First place, Liberty City, 5.3 million rat ears, rewarded with a magical heart."

The young official opened the treasure box next to him, and found a magical heart that was as beautiful as a gemstone and crystal clear, floating quietly in the treasure box. With the slow rotation, the internal structure rotates brightly like a nebula.

As if it was an illusion, Annan vaguely felt that he was no longer far away from a level 6 warlock.

Finally... after a lot of hard work and even some extra-ordinary tricks, I finally got the Magic Heart.

Annan knew in advance what the reward for first place would be, so he just suppressed his joy with a deep breath. The other forces didn't know it, and there was a buzz of discussion.

Although Shifen Mountain Potion is a good thing and is the key to the continuation of a family, the empire is actually willing to give away the Magical Heart as a reward...

Then there was even deeper envy and speculation - maybe the empire would get the Magic Heart back afterwards and give Annan a few thousand gold coins as compensation.

"How do I use it?"

"Put it in your mage tower. Someone will know how to use it."

It is not a secret that there is an Orichalcum Mage Tower that has been under construction in Liberty City. Maybe the Empire even knows about Lilith.

The piles of rat ears were to be taken back to Mount Montreal as a display of merit to all citizens of the Empire. Before the young officials took him away, Annan also took a video with the magic stone.

This is considered a "scoop" for the Empire and Liberty City.

After Annan attended the real celebration banquet that followed, he couldn't wait to return to the station and open the portal.

"Good news and bad news!"

Olmedo, who was sitting in the office and dealing with official duties all day, raised his head and said, "Just tell me."

"You should choose a message."

"Then let me tell you the good news first."

Annan opened his mouth: "You...you have to hear the bad news first."

Olmedo sighed imperceptibly: "Then why are you asking me? Tell me..."

"The bad news is we didn't finish second."

"So the good news is, we're number one?"

Annan felt very defeated. If he had told Itilia if he had known it, she would definitely cooperate and show surprise.
