It was already dawn, and the people of the city were busy again, and although the war outside the city was gaining momentum, those who should live still had to live. 1――

In the underground passage of the palace of Sombra City, the Shadow leaned against the cold wall to take a nap, and in order to prevent Radat from taking the opportunity to escape, he also specially summoned his guardian beast, the Demon Song Worm, to guard the king.

The Magic Song Insect is very small, only the size of a shell, and its own color is earthy, belonging to the category of ladybugs. Although it looks like a small creature and is fragile, it is a little demon worm that people are afraid of. Its belly and back are covered with many hair-thin flute pores, which can make a beautiful sound like a song when they resonate. However, the sound it makes is very beautiful, but it hides a fatal crisis, this sound can quickly destroy the functional structure of the human body under the knowledge of people without knowing it, as long as ten minutes, ordinary people will have bleeding from the mouth and nose, and for a longer time, the blood vessels and internal organs in the human body will be destroyed by this sound. So even though this little bug can be smashed to pieces with a single hammer, it can easily kill some behemoths. In addition, the Magic Song Worm has a color-changing function for self-protection, disguised like a chameleon in a variety of different colors to protect itself, and when it flies, the sound holes on its body can drown out the sound of its wings vibrating, so even if it flies on your clothes, you may not know it.

Radat also summoned his guardian lion-mane, and lay down on its fur, covering his clothes and snoring, after all, the shady underground passage was still very cold, and he was very relieved that the shadows outside could not enter.

Falling asleep, Shadow woke up first, he was awakened by the cold, and as soon as he woke up, he sneezed, which woke Radat awake as well.

Radat got dressed and looked at the Shadow outside, and the Shadow also looked at the king behind the iron fence, neither of them spoke, obviously consumed.

I don't know how long it took, at least an hour, Lie Ying patted his clothes and stood up: "I'm hungry, find something to eat." He glanced at the king and walked towards the passage.

Speaking of eating, Radat clutched his stomach, he hadn't eaten for almost a day, and he had always been a noble king who stretched out his hands for clothes and opened his mouth for food, when had he ever suffered such a sin and been hungry. I usually think I'm hungry if I don't eat a meal, but I don't know what it means to be really hungry until now.

As the footsteps faded away, Radat got up from the ground and ran to the fence to look out. Now that Shadow was gone, there was only a small worm the size of a shell lying on the wall at the door, and he thought about escaping. He looked at the little beetle on the wall: "This little worm, I can slap it to death, and then rush out and let the lion-mane carry me away." He thought so to himself, and he was really moved.

But after thinking about it, he hesitated again: "No, he looks at me so closely, this must be a trap, he deliberately put a small worm here to lure me, in fact, he must be hiding nearby, just wait for me to open the fence, he will rush over and catch me." ”

The king obviously didn't know what kind of worm the Magic Song Worm was, but he knew that the fence couldn't get out. However, although he knew that he couldn't go out, he saw that no one was watching outside, and his heart was still itching, and he poked his head in front of the fence, looking very anxious.

After a long time, the Shadow returned, carrying a lot of live bats, rats, and some old logs. He killed all the rats and bats with a broken knife, then sat on the ground and skinned them, muttering, "Oh, it's time to eat." ”

Radat had seen him eat rats yesterday, and he had only felt very disgusted, but now he salivated when he thought of the charred rat meat he had burned yesterday. ...,

The skin was peeled off, the internal organs were thrown away, and the rat meat was skewered with a knife and roasted, and his eyes looked at Radat from time to time and said, "Bixia, do you want to taste a piece when I'm done?"

Radat pursed his lips and turned his head to the side.

Lie Ying said again: "As long as you come out, I will share half of your food when you come out." ”

Radat snorted, "I won't eat this kind of filthy thing." ”

Shadow sighed, "Looks like you're still not too hungry." He took a mouse from the knife, tore it with his mouth, and chewed: "Well, it's not charred enough, roast it for a while." ”

Smelling the smell of barbecue, Radat's stomach growled.

Shadow looked at Radat and smiled, "Do you know what happened when I joined the Black Feather Camp for training? When the leader gave us survival training, we were so hungry that we even picked up bread that fell in the dung heap and ate it. Eating live maggots, cockroaches, or something is trivial, and it's all eaten alive. ”

Radat said angrily: "The Black Feather Battalion was supposed to be the most loyal guardian to me, but now it is coercing me in turn, do you still have the face to say that you are a member of the Black Feather Battalion?"

Shadow's face changed, and after a while, he said, "We are loyal to the king, but our leader thinks that you are not worthy of being this king, and I am only carrying out the tasks and orders given by my superiors. ”

"You're saying that Killmons betrayed me first?"

"All you need to know is that our current allegiance is to the future king, and as for you, you will soon be stepping down." ”

"Dream!" said Radat, "Hmph, Zalberg wants to take away the king's power from me, and it is impossible for him to do so, and I will never give up the king's seat to him under any circumstances." ”

Lie Ying sneered: "I can't help you then." As you may have heard, one-third of the Empire's leading figures have pledged allegiance to Zalborg, while the other two-thirds of the soldiers are either trapped on the front lines or imprisoned by the Prime Minister, and the rest of the men are swaying from side to side, thinking only about their own interests. Now that the prince has officially turned against you, those people will fall to Zalberg like rats that smell cheese when they see that your king's throne is irretrievable. When the time comes, if there is not a single subject or army in this country that is loyal to you, will you still be able to be the king?"

Radat looked at him and said, "You can say such a thing as a guard of the Black Feather Battalion, but you are too naïve to think about it, there are still many people in this country who are on my side, and the group of traitors like Zarborg will eventually be exterminated." ”

Lie Ying said, "I won't fight with you about this. After eating two bats and mice in a few bites, he got up and was about to leave.

Radat hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

Shadow laughed, "Of course I'm going to find the way, there are bats here, so I just need to drive the bats out to find the exit, and then I'll find a way to get you out." ”
