Chapter 411 Ratman Butcher
"Although theoretically I should practice guest etiquette now, after all, we are currently in the home quarantine phase, so I still hope you can understand... Please follow me."

Tyrion didn't care about Gotrek's dissatisfaction with him. He just led the eight hundred dwarf warriors from Eternal Peak to a rather gorgeous hotel and settled down all the dwarves present.

Now Daario is taking the initiative to isolate himself from the Druchi soldiers at the harbor outside the city in order to stabilize the morale of the army, so Tyrion is now responsible for all affairs in the city.

After all, he is a human dwarf, so if he wants to make those pretentious dark elves obey, he must use some tough methods:
“I’ve been having trouble staying in a hotel for you recently, and I’ll prepare to build an outpost for you when the plague is over. I ask for your understanding.

As for the Ratman and sewer cleaning matters, don't rush it. You can write a list of the supplies you need and submit it to me. I will send it to you as soon as it is ready. "

Tyrion left after settling the food, clothing, housing and transportation for these hundreds of dwarf warriors. After all, as the city lord, he still had many things to deal with.

Although there are no large-scale riots in Gran City now, there are still some fools who listen to the slander and think that the raw materials for making medical potions can have the effect of isolating the plague and looting them, making the already scarce garrison even more scarce.

What's more, some people actually claim that taking herbal medicine can prevent the infection of the plague and rush to buy it. This is simply stupid!

Looking through the window at the retreating figures of Tyrion and the elven guards, Gotrek, standing on a stool, couldn't help shaking his beard in dissatisfaction and muttered:
"I don't like this stupid and arrogant dwarf and these elves. They have no sincerity at all. Even the windows are built so high. They are definitely not built specifically for dwarves!"

"You shouldn't be too harsh on them, Gotrek. Didn't you notice that the flags of Kislev and the Southern Kingdom are hanging on this hotel? This hotel should be used to entertain humans."

Hearing his companion's complaint, Phoenix, who was busy admiring the artwork in the room, retorted without looking back. After all, as a human being, he can be said to be very comfortable in using the facilities in the room.

The soft beds and warm fireplaces disperse the cold wind of Nagaros. The room is stocked with a variety of high-quality teas and wines from the Southern Kingdom, and there is even a daily recommended Cathay menu.

More importantly, the physique and aesthetics of the dark elves prevent them from using such facilities that are very precious to humans, so these things are all specially prepared for humans.

It can be seen that the dark elves were very considerate when building this hotel!

Even Phoenix, who was born into a noble family in Reikland, has never experienced such a warm and golden experience!

"They actually have coffee beans from Arabi. Why don't you try the finely ground coffee I made myself? You will definitely fall in love with it."

Phoenix just felt like he was back home at this moment. He casually handed a few fragrant coffee beans to the tip of his nose to evaluate the taste, and then put them into the grinder.

elegant~
Since following Gotrek and leaving the Sigma Empire in order to write a book, their life along the way can be said to be a rough and tumble life. After all, Gotrek, who wanted to fulfill the Butcher's Oath, did not care about physical enjoyment.

Such a dreamlike life now makes him feel a little intoxicated and unable to extricate himself!
Seeing that his friend had completely fallen into the warm land of Pointy Ears, Gotrek's expression immediately became disgusted, and then he shouted loudly with his rune battle ax:
"Hmph~ I see that you have been completely defeated by those pointy-eared sugar-coated bullets. Sure enough, you humans are so weak!"

"Where are you going? Shouldn't we stay here and wait for the notice from Lord Tyrion?"

"I am a dwarf butcher. How can I stay here and enjoy myself when I need to fulfill my butcher's oath? I should be looking for my own death."

what?
Hearing this, Phoenix, who had already brewed half of his coffee, immediately showed an unhappy look on his face. After all, the weather in Nagaroth was indeed not very pleasant, and he didn't want to go out to play in the cold weather.

Unlike Gotrek who fulfilled the Butcher's Oath, he regarded this trip to Naggaroth as an unprecedented and wonderful adventure!
Since it’s an adventure, isn’t it also a part of life to lie down in a room with a warm fireplace, drink coffee and take a nap?
"Let's go, don't forget that I paid you to publicize and record my great deeds. Don't let me wait for you at the entrance of the sewer for too long!"

Seeing that Phoenix seemed unwilling to follow him, Gotrek immediately transformed into a jealous dwarf weighing more than 200 pounds. He turned around and left with an angry shout while carrying a rune battle ax.

slap~
As the door was slammed shut, the entire room instantly became deserted, leaving only the crackling of firewood in the fireplace and Phoenix who was busy making coffee.

Looking at the slowly boiling coffee in the kettle, Phoenix felt as uneasy as a child who failed to finish his summer homework in time, so he could only pray secretly in his heart:
"Well... just have a cup of coffee and leave. It shouldn't take much time, right?"

——Half an hour later, the sewer entrance

"What?! Already in?!"

"Hmm~ If you are talking about the red-haired perverted dwarf who is shirtless and carrying an ax and still swearing in his mouth, then he has already entered while you were taking a shower."

Looking at the human being in front of him who smelled of heat and coffee, the Silver Mist guard responsible for guarding the entrance to the sewer picked his ears nonchalantly, obviously not thinking that he had done anything wrong.

After all, his duty is to prevent things from escaping from the sewers, which does not mean that he is also responsible for preventing people from actively running in to feed the rat people.

Hearing this, Phoenix's face immediately became a little ugly. He had fought with rat men before, so he naturally knew how dangerous the sewers all over the corners were, so he could only ask angrily:
"Shouldn't you stop him from going in? You must know that this sewer is likely to lead to the rat man's lair. If he rushes in like this, he may be in danger!"

"Watch your tone, short-lived species. If I remember correctly, he should be your companion. If you didn't stop him from going in to die, then what obligation do we have to stop him from dying in freedom?"

Hearing Phoenix's question, the Silvermist guard who was still preparing to watch the show immediately turned gloomy. Then he decisively opened the iron fence leading to the sewer and signaled:
"If you care about your companion so much, why don't you go in and look for him? Maybe you can find his half-eaten remains down there?"

"...just leave, no one is afraid of whom!".
Facing the playful eyes of the Silver Mist guard, Phoenix couldn't help but turn his head to the deep sewer where there was no movement, and then he could only walk inwardly.

In his opinion, such a brightly lit sewer does not seem to be as dangerous as imagined. If he is careful, he should be able to find Gotrek, right?
tick tock~tick tock~
"Sir Sigma, why are you so quiet?"

However, as the sense of security brought by the iron fence gradually disappeared around the corner, there was only the sound of water dripping in the silent sewer, and the echoes that kept echoing were terrifying.

Phoenix only felt that his legs were a little weak. His courage was not outstanding, especially when he thought that there might be a sneak attack by ratmen hiding in the dark, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

'After all, it was reckless. If I had known better, I should have waited for the other dwarves to enter the sewers together! '

Although his heart was full of timidity at the moment, Phoenix's body still walked resolutely towards the depths of the sewer, while secretly raising the rune sword in his hand to his chest.Speaking of which, this long sword was a gift that Gotrek found for him in Eight Peaks Mountain. It could easily split the ratman's body in half!
Recalling Gotrek's care for him in the past, Phoenix braved his courage and continued walking deeper into the sewer, while constantly shouting in a weak voice:
"Gotrek, are you here?"

squeak~
However, what responded to him was a burst of rattling noises, followed by several dirty rats running past both sides of the sewer, seemingly disturbed by Phoenix's sudden call.

Phoenix, who was highly nervous, was startled by the sudden appearance of these black figures, but then he angrily raised his leather boots and kicked the rats away, and at the same time cursed with some shame and anger:
"Damn stinky rat, go to hell!"

However, he was busy fighting with the mouse corpse and did not notice that there was a thin figure approaching him at the corner behind him with blood-red eyes.

That is a slave rat who is about to fall into a state of 'black hunger'!
'The meat...is fresh meat! '

The hungry slave rat was slowly walking behind Phoenix with a dagger in hand. Since the main force of the Morbidus clan had already headed to the Witch Forest under the leadership of the Gray Prophet, the food supply to the nest had been interrupted.

Even the clan rats left in the Rat Nest Mine can only have one hungry meal, let alone the slave rats at the bottom of society?

"What a human thing, DIE! DIE!"

As Phoenix's back gets closer and closer, the slave rat can no longer restrain itself from jumping up from the ground, and then bites the unsuspecting prey with its mouth full of sharp teeth.

He had closed his eyes, and in his mind he had even begun to dream about human flesh and blood that he, as a slave rat, had never tasted in his life!

However, it is a pity that the bards who can follow Gotrek all the way around, and can even help each other see Skarbrand's head off, can they be ordinary people:
"Drink!"

Sensing that there was a ratman coming from behind, Phoenix shouted, swung his sword and stabbed the black figure behind him, and then directly pinned the ratman who tried to attack him to the wall.

ahhh-

The slave rat who was stabbed in the chest couldn't help but let out a shrill scream. Every qualified rat man would regard his life as a priceless treasure, and nothing would cause them more pain than taking away their life.

"Damn it, shut your mouth now!"

Hearing such a sharp scream echoing in the sewers, Phoenix's face turned pale, and then he quickly drew his sword and chopped off the rat man's head.

puff~
ah ah ah-

However, even though Phoenix's reaction speed was extremely fast, the slave rat's screams before death still echoed in the sewers, as if to wake up this sleeping nest.

dong~dong~dong~
Bursts of heavy but rapid footsteps kept coming from a distance. Any explorer who knew something about the rat race would be able to discern a piece of information:
"Rat Troll?!"

Roar--

Under Phoenix's frightened gaze, the stalwart ratman, covered in strange equipment, was rushing toward him with a body that could fill a sewer. The rusty blade tied to his wrist gave off a faint cold light!

escape!
Without any hesitation, Phoenix ran decisively in the direction of the original sewer entrance, completely forgetting that he had not read the sewer layout carefully.

However, at this moment, he could no longer care about that much. The rat troll behind him was running rampant in the sewers like a drunken mercenary on the streets of Altdorf, running towards him at high speed using both hands and feet.

'Sigma, who can come to save me? '

Listening to the deep and increasingly clear manic breathing, Phoenix could only pray in his heart to the emperor who became a god in the empire, but he didn't know that the distant Naggaros was not within the signal range of the other party.

But the only lucky thing is that he is not the only explorer in the sewer:
"Get down, human!"

Just when Phoenix was about to be bitten on the butt by the rat troll behind him, a familiar low roar suddenly came from the corner in front of him. His survival instinct made him hurriedly squat down and lie on the ground with his head in his hands.

Call ~
As a whistling sound flashed past his head, Phoenix felt something stepping on his butt and jumped up, followed closely by the sound of a sharp blade piercing into flesh.

"Come on, bastard, come to daddy!"

The familiar roar of the dwarf came from behind. There was no doubt that Gotrek saved him again!
When Phoenix got up from the ground and looked behind him, he saw that the rat troll that was chasing him had been chopped into a pile of disgusting blood clots, and the red-bearded dwarf was looking at him with disdain and said:
"Are you in trouble again, human? Hasn't anyone told you that your screams sound like birds?"

"Ahem, when have we never been in trouble, Gotrek?"

Phoenix casually wiped the footprints on his butt, then wandered to Gotrek's side and said calmly:
"I risked my life to enter the sewers to find you. For the sake of this kindness, can we ignore everything that happened before?"

"Haha, if I remember correctly, you have been rescued by me at least more than 100 times, right?"

Looking at the bard who pretended to be fat even though his face was swollen, Gotrek couldn't help but reveal an imperceptible smile in his one eye, but then he turned around rudely and walked towards the depths of the sewer:

"Let's go, I have found the entrance to the dirty rat lair. Now it's time for us to fulfill the oath of the rat butcher!"

"What an ugly title is this... Hey, wait for me!"
