The end of being favored by the gods [Infinite Stream]

The Mouse King was awakened by a burst of crying.

He has been falling asleep more and more easily recently, and he has considered some factors, but he has a lazy personality and is greedy for a comfortable rest time, so he didn't take it to heart.

But today he suddenly had a feeling that it seemed that some of his own factors caused him to start "sleeping".

Someone is stealing his power.

Contemplating who would dare steal his stuff, he finds his town, it seems, a little bit chaotic.

"What's going on?" He wasn't fully awake yet, his voice and face were too lazy, he seemed like a harmless rose—unlike the town's rat-faced residents, he had the appearance of a human being, and from every aspect In other words, he can afford the words "Beauty Like Blood".

The attendant knelt on the ground, but he was motionless. From the gaps in his limbs, he could see his face was pale, and the sweat was dripping from his forehead. It was obvious that he was extremely scared.

"My lord...it's...it's the residents making trouble outside."

"What are you arguing about?" Shu King pressed his temples, his voice was flat, and he didn't seem to be angry about it.

"A lot, a lot of people... went bankrupt... drug prices skyrocketed... they want gold coins back..."

The pastor also stood aside, trembling. Hearing this, he suddenly stepped forward, kicked the attendant away, and knelt on the ground: "My lord! It's not a big problem, we'll send soldiers to expel it!"

"Expel it." Shu Wang nodded and yawned casually, "You guys can do whatever you want."

The attendant glanced at the pastor, who nodded at him, and the two turned and walked out.

No one knew their backs were sweaty.

The attendant breathed a sigh of relief, and cast a grateful look at the priest. He thought he had escaped, but suddenly he heard the Mouse King behind him say, "Wait a minute, he's staying."

Both of them froze, as if thinking of some possibility, the attendant's legs were already trembling.

The Shu King pointed to the pastor arrogantly: "You go to the business first, you stay." Then he pointed to the attendant.

The pastor immediately fled the church.At the same time as the door closed behind him, he heard the servants' screams, which gradually became weaker and disappeared bit by bit.

Then the creepy chewing sound came.

The pastor was trembling all over. He felt that he should leave here immediately, but his feet couldn't walk, as if they were fixed on the ground by cement and heavy with lead.

The Shu King usually sleeps too long, causing them to almost forget what a cruel existence this is.That's right, he has the appearance of a foreigner, completely different from the residents of Laplace Town, why did he become a king?Certainly not recommended by everyone.

As time passed, everyone forgot about this matter, or because of extreme fear, they accepted the status quo strangely and began to worship him distortedly.

——this nameless, death-bringing monster hidden in the shadows of churches and small towns.

Today, a crack appeared in this worship due to bankruptcy. Before their resistance could take root, the Mouse King woke up from his deep sleep and showed his fangs.

He has no doubt that if someone enters at this time, or if he continues to stay here, he will also become a pool of broken bones.

But he couldn't walk.

Sure enough, the Mouse King yelled, "The one standing at the door, my servant."

"Come in."

The scalp-numbing chewing sound still didn't stop.

The priest's hands were sweating. The Rat King was the embodiment of greed. Once he opened his mouth, he would probably keep eating.

he will die...

he will die...

Just when he felt that he was going crazy, a voice suddenly sounded like a savior: "Sir."

The voice was puzzled: "What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

The pastor looked at the person standing beside him with trembling pupils, which clearly reflected the shadow of this person.

He was suddenly overjoyed, because his mood changed so quickly, his voice was even distorted: "You came just in time! Just in time... Oh, no, you... What do you want?"

Xue Quning raised his eyebrows, and slowly took out some documents in his hand: "Your identity is probably Shu King's secretary, I think I can talk to you."

The pastor still asked him very conscientiously, "What do you mean?"

He even selfishly hoped that Xue Quning would talk to him for a longer time, and when the Shu King was a little full, the possibility of him escaping would be greater.

"Now the town is completely messed up." Xue Quning said regretfully, "Many people went bankrupt and many people were injured. Now the town has an outbreak of disease."

"I saw the hanging scene on the way here." He pushed the documents over, with a heavy tone, and even questioned: "Don't you realize it at all? It won't be long before the town will go bankrupt."

"You are not going to take measures?"

His question made the pastor ashamed, but the shame was secondary, more helpless: "We also want to take measures..."

"But it doesn't matter what I say." He shook his head, "I can only obey the orders of the Mouse King." He glanced at the information, and it is true that all prices are soaring now, but the disease is more serious than bankruptcy. A small number of priests, who are precious resources, cannot be allowed to be infected, so some well-informed doctors in the town now advocate bloodletting for treatment.

The bloodletting treatment had little effect, and the most effective method was blood leech powder—they injected the poison, of course he knew, but he didn't expect blood leech powder to be so scarce.

"Now a box of blood leech powder...needs 10 gold coins?" His voice trembled.

This is also outrageous.

Xue Quning is also making his own calculations. Obviously, the epidemic in the city has nothing to do with these people, but no matter what their purpose is, it is not good for them if the town goes bankrupt too soon, especially when the residents' sentiment rebounds during the epidemic, which may lead to revenge fire.

No ruler wants to see such a scene.

The pastor took a deep breath and suddenly felt that he was under attack.

On the back is the rat king's death talisman, and when he goes out, there are rioting residents.

He asked hopelessly, "What do you want to say?"

Xue Quning stared at him for a long time, moved the tips of his ears, and then slowly asked in doubt, "Did you hear the sound?"

The pastor didn't answer, the surroundings were relatively quiet, and Xue Quning could indeed hear strange noises.

It seems that the sharp teeth are tearing bones and muscles, which is easily reminiscent of bloody scenes.

The pastor said, "Do you want to discuss business with the Shu King?" He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the contract in Xue Quning's hand.

Xue Quning was pulled back to her thoughts: "Yes."

The pastor suddenly showed a strange smile: "Okay."

The tearing sound became louder and louder along with the sound of hard objects being crushed. The pastor opened the door while sweating coldly.

He opened a crack.

While Xue Quning was still hesitating, he suddenly pushed the person in, quickly closed the door, and gasped outside.

saved.

Although I'm sorry for the one just now, he doesn't want to die.

This move was contrary to his identity, and he immediately felt an overwhelming sense of immorality, and even imagined in his mind that the young man was killed the moment he entered, was gnawed, chewed to pieces, minced meat and bones accompanied by sticky blood on the ground—

Xue Quning entered the familiar dim room, and immediately opened the door vigilantly.

However, after he came in, the strange sound suddenly stopped.

"You...how is it you?" The Mouse King stared blankly in his direction before he could swallow the piece of meat in his mouth.

Immediately, his sense of hunger disappeared, and his rationality occupied by greed gradually recovered.

Taking a step forward slowly, he crushed a bone with his foot, and the Shu King didn't realize it.

The unfinished meal suddenly tasted bad.

On the contrary, the person in front of him seems to be more fragrant?

"Last time I invited you, you let me go." His voice was even and steady, and no one in the darkness knew that he approached quietly, and sniffed the breath of the person in front of him intoxicatedly, "What do you want to do this time?"

"..." Although Xue Quning couldn't see it, it didn't mean he couldn't feel it.

In the air, there is a strong smell of blood.

"Did I come at the wrong time?" He asked calmly.

"No, I'm free now." Shu Wang ground his teeth, as if he really wanted to take a bite, but he held back, "You can say anything, I'm very talkative now."

He knew it, he smelled the same kind.

The child's body was marked by his kind.

Suddenly, the lights came on.

Xue Quning let go of the kerosene lamp and looked at the ground and surroundings.

Nothing unusual, the floors and walls were fairly clean, not even dusty.

And the Shu King just stood not far from him, staring at him with doubts and dissatisfaction, and seemed to be a little offended.

Given his position, it was absolutely impossible to put his head close to him.

"I just think it's too dark here and needs a little light." Xue Quning smiled, as if she didn't understand the dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Otherwise I wouldn't even be able to read the words on the book."

The Shu King's tongue swept across his palate, and he smiled slowly: "Now you can talk business with me."

Repeat the same words again, I don't know if the Shu King is listening, but the attention has been on Xue Quning.

"Okay." Shu Wang nodded without hesitation.

Xue Quning was stuck in her throat with all the words she had thought up, as if she didn't expect to get an affirmative reply so easily.

"I'm listening." Shu Wang replied slowly, "You have a supply, and you want to supply it to me at a price higher than the market price. I will use the batch of medicine you provided to stabilize the market. Now you want to exchange sincerity with me." ceremony."

"I have no reason to refuse."

"I have commented before that you are a trustworthy person, so I still trust you."

Xue Quning thought that your trust would be mispaid, and she didn't show it at all, and even extended a hand generously: "Then we have a happy cooperation."

The ceremony runs from morning to afternoon.

The current price is obviously not up to Xue Quning's expectations, and he still needs a few hours to increase the ratio of gold coins to medicines to 70:1.

Use the 15 boxes of blood leech powder in your hand to exchange for 1000 gold coins.

Apart from trading with the Mouse King himself, he couldn't think of other places where he could buy medicine with gold coins. The pharmacy was controlled by the church, so it was better to negotiate directly with the biggest boss who controlled the church.

What's more, it is the ruler of the town who most needs 3000 boxes of medicines.

While he was trying to delay the time, the pastor finally brought in the first newspaper of the day.

He was quite shocked that Xue Quning sat face to face with the Shu King intact, of course he didn't dare to show it, he could only lower his head to hide the horror in his eyes.

"Why did today's newspaper arrive so late?" Shu King's voice sank.

The pastor barely maintained his composure: "The newspaper is bankrupt, and this is the last newspaper."

There was only one photo in the newspaper, and it was the only price tag in front of the pharmacy.

Xue Quning was a little nervous, because he didn't have much time left, and before night fell tonight, he had to exchange Clara.

If it cannot rise to the ratio he expects in time, the plan may fail.

"...I am willing to buy it at the price of 100 gold coins per unit." The Mouse King put down the newspaper and said calmly.

Xue Quning breathed a sigh of relief.

It actually rose to... 100:1.

He pushed over the 15 boxes of medicines he had prepared, and immediately an attendant brought 1500 gold coins and handed them to him.

"I will deliver the negotiated quantity of goods to the gate of the town tomorrow. The time is 5 o'clock tomorrow morning." Xue Quning said calmly.

The moment he walked out of the church, the Mouse King licked his fangs and said to the people next to him, "Make sure he stays in the town before 5 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Prevent him from boarding the 10:44 train."

As soon as he left the church, he immediately found Yan Yi, ready to take over the task.The remaining [-] gold coins need to be exchanged for indulgences by Yan Yi. He has been too high-profile these days, and I am afraid that it would be safer for Yan Yi to do it alone.

Yan Yi agreed, and hurried to the church, following Xue Quning's advice not to enter through the main entrance, but to go around to the other side of the cathedral, a cemetery lined with crosses.

While Xue Quning was waiting, Song Guanxue suddenly appeared in the sewer near his feet.

"Follow me." He said concisely, "An accident happened at the church, and Yan Yi can't get out."

Xue Quning immediately said: "What happened?"

Song Guanxue: "Two lunatics have gone to jail."
