The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low profile

The heavy rain of the previous night made the morning air exceptionally fresh.

Moreover, the sleep-inducing effect of the rainy night allowed Zorn to sleep particularly soundly last night.

Of course, for a Necromancer, sleep is merely the dormancy of the physical body.

The Necromancer's soul never sleeps.

It is constantly vigilant of reality, dreams, and the spirit world.

At the same time, Zorn's spiritual will spent the entire night digesting the resources from the "Hidden Source."

Opening the window, Zorn allowed the slightly chilly morning air to blow into the living room.

While enjoying his breakfast, Zorn looked at the level bar on his system page.

【Stellar Marksman · Brawler】(30th Anniversary Special Edition) (Non-transferable)

Level: 1 (10%)

【Talent】

Adamantine Intent · Iron Bone (SS Grade): You possess an will and body of steel.

【Skills】

…………

Yesterday, the experience was at 6%.

After devouring the souls of several Mafia members and digesting the overnight sacrifices,

The sequence experience surged to 10%.

The efficiency of this improvement is self-evident.

In the coming period, the sequence experience will surge.

Zorn estimated that by the time he graduated from the Noble Academy, he would advance to level two, which was much faster than originally planned.

After finishing breakfast, Zorn looked at the old butler, Gronk, standing to the side.

"Uncle Gronk, this morning, I heard some noise coming from the kitchen. What happened?"

Old butler Gronk's expression changed slightly before he truthfully replied.

"Young Master Zorn, a lot of rats appeared in the kitchen, and they are very large, like house cats, and there are even two that are terrifyingly large."

"This morning, those terrifying fellows even chased after the early-rising laundry maid 'Sophia' and the kitchen assistant 'Daisy.'"

"They were both terrified."

"When Vanessa and the cook 'Berita' rushed over, those damned, terrifying rats were dragging Sophia towards the corner."

"By the time I got there, Sophia was pale and trembling all over, unable to muster the strength to stand up."

"Those damned sewer rats are really too...outrageous."

"I have already scolded the cook Berita, and he is currently investigating and cleaning the kitchen."

"Currently, he has discovered a rat hole the size of a plate in the corner."

After a pause, Gronk continued.

"Recently, it's not just us; other noble families have also reported rat infestations. It is said that even long-tailed hunting cats that are skilled at catching rats have died in rat swarm attacks."

"Perhaps...we should find a rat catcher to clean things up properly."

Hearing this, Zorn frowned slightly.

The power of the terrifying plague rats was brewing, and there were obvious signs.

This was not something that could be solved by cleaning.

"Uncle Gronk, today, find some bricklayers to inspect the foundation area of the entire manor and fill in all potential rat holes."

Faced with the impending rat plague, Zorn could not stand idly by and needed to take precautions.

He was not afraid of those "Nightmare Plague Rats" or the 【Nightmare Ratmen】with some supernatural power born within the Nightmare Plague Rat swarms.

In fact, when the Nightmare Plague Rats arrived, they would only provide Zorn with a meal.

However, the others in the manor did not have much resistance against the Nightmare Plague Rats.

"In addition, I will contact some rat catchers; they are more experienced in resisting rats."

Although he said that, Zorn had already begun to think about creating a "Nightmare Plague Rat" slaughter trap.

The terrible 【Rat Plague】 was a disaster for ordinary people.

For the Necromancer Zorn Corrick, it was more like a—feast!

He could use the power of the cataclysm to leverage many things.

That afternoon, Gronk found several bricklayers and began inspecting and repairing the underground foundations of the entire manor.

Over the next few days.

Zorn continued his studies, steadily and quickly digesting the resources transmitted from the Hidden Source, and growing rapidly.

Even Zorn's diligent studying attracted an unknown, shy young girl.

One afternoon after school, Zorn found an anonymous "love letter" expressing admiration in his schoolbag.

This made Zorn marvel at the simplicity and purity of youth.

And in this new week, information about small-scale rat infestations frequently appearing in O'Glan City finally began to appear in the O'Glan Steam Daily.

…………

The second to last weekend of mid-May.

Zorn was enjoying a rare leisurely morning tea time.

Good news finally arrived!

Just yesterday, the O'Glan City Steam Factory Management Act was officially promulgated.

Those key provisions were even stricter than Zorn had anticipated.

Not only were there standards for workers' minimum wages, but also emission standards for coal smoke, and inspections of many steam factories were also more stringent.

Obviously, the O'Glan City Hall had discovered that something was not right.

The great development of the steam industry promoted the prosperity and development of O'Glan City, attracting a large number of out-of-towners to O'Glan City to make a living.

This also allowed evil god cults, gangs, and criminal groups to thrive in O'Glan City.

Once there are too many people, the light cannot reach the deeper places.

The restless power of cataclysm was brewing in the dark shadows of O'Glan City.

Given the population density of O'Glan City.

Once the power of some evil god cataclysm descended.

That would be a terrible nightmare.

For Zorn, the promulgation of the stricter "Steam Factory Management Act" was quite good news.

This morning, three steam factory owners had already come to visit Zorn.

The old butler Gronk was responsible for receiving them.

Currently, Gronk had followed one factory owner to their steam factory for an on-site inspection.

If things went smoothly, the steam factory could be finalized in the next two days.

Once the steam factory was finalized and a potion master was secured, the factory could start training.

Unfortunately, the potion master "Vladimir Korjin" had not come to visit these days.

Zorn had already begun to secretly look for new candidates.

Zorn's steam factory plan could not be disrupted due to the absence of a potion master.

The latest novel is first published at Six/Nine/Book/Bar!

Just as Zorn was wondering whether to go to Adolf Monastery to purchase some of the resources he needed, footsteps sounded outside the door.

It was Old Nero bringing the young rat catcher Isaac.

"You rat catchers must be very busy these days!"

Zorn got up and asked.

Zorn had asked Gronk to go to 1456 Rooke Street to find the rat catcher Bevis.

But they were not there after three visits.

The landlord said that the rat catcher and his apprentice had been too busy cleaning up the rat infestation to be seen these days.

"It's been crazy busy!"

Isaac scratched his head and smiled shyly.

Immediately, he said apologetically.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Zorn. My teacher originally asked me to come over yesterday, but I was really too tired."

"I swear I really just wanted to rest for a little while, but when I opened my eyes, it was already this morning!"

He stood there, uneasy about his "fault."

"What a simple child!"

Zorn thought to himself.

"I think you haven't had breakfast yet."

Zorn beckoned Isaac to sit down and pushed the exquisite cheese pastries and scones in front of Isaac.

After struggling for a while, hunger finally took over.

With his morning tea, Isaac transformed into a person burying his head in food.

Looking at Isaac's hungry appearance, Zorn couldn't help but smile and shifted his gaze to the distance.

When he obtained the 【Necromancer】 sequence and was tormented by hunger, the way he frantically absorbed the lives of mutated gray rats was not much better than Isaac's current state.

With his stomach almost full, Isaac raised his head and looked at Zorn with a slightly embarrassed smile.

Some time ago, every time Isaac came to deliver gray rats, he would spend some time with Zorn.

Isaac would ask Zorn many questions about transcendent knowledge.

Zorn was also happy to be a teacher and naturally taught enthusiastically.

Each exchange with Zorn would bring Isaac rich gains and a deeper understanding.

"How has the rat infestation been lately?"

Zorn withdrew his gaze from the window and looked at Isaac to inquire.

Isaac seriously thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Very troublesome! And very棘手!"

"Rat infestations have appeared in the homes of many residents living in the lower levels and basements, and many people have been bitten."

"If a plague breaks out, it will be even more troublesome."

"As far as I know, there have been several cases of homeless people who sleep on the streets being gnawed to death by rats at night."

"The screams alarmed the patrolling police, but the patrolling police were also powerless in the face of swarms of rats."

"Yesterday, the police also came to us and said that a child had been dragged into a rat hole by those damned rats and hoped that we could help."

Speaking of this, Isaac's face darkened, and his will also sank a little.

"I searched for a long time in that area and found no trace of the child."

"If I were stronger, maybe...I could have found the child who was dragged away by those damned rats."

The rat plague is breaking out!

Hearing Isaac's account.

This also confirmed Zorn's idea.

Now it was just the prelude, stirring during the night in small areas.

When the rat plague broke out to its climax.

Tens of thousands of rats, braving the sun, surged through the streets, rampantly.

The "Nightmare Ratmen" with transcendent powers even dared to attack the police station, provoking the state's violent system.

At that time, residents could only hide in their homes, watching the rampant, terrible disaster outside through the windows, praying that those terrible fellows would not break in.

Even ants can kill an elephant.

Not to mention that they were all mutated gray rats with pollution and畸变.

Their squeaks and hisses would drown out the chimes of the holy sun at noon, and the terrible power of cataclysm would no longer be satisfied with the sewers but would permeate the entire O'Glan City.

At that time!

The power of cataclysm from the 【Rat Plague】 would severely provoke the authority of the Holy Sun Church.

And engrave an indelible mark of disaster on O'Glan City.
