Hilko was slightly absent-minded. His persistence seemed to be wrong. Benso was right. Those legends that were widely circulated in the "Gutter Area" were not without reason. They were actually adapted from facts.
In fact, there are a lot of strange and weird guys in Zaun City. Desperadoes from all over the world gather here, and there are always some guys who don't look like normal humans.
But the "Gutter District" is different. As the lowest level of Zaun, the people living here are generally the real poor people of Zaun. Those outsiders are even willing to stay here because they cannot adapt to the turbidity of the "Gutter District".
The only people who can survive here are the ancestors of ancestors. What is very sad is that they have even become accustomed to the harsh environment here.
Hilko has always believed that the "Gutter Area" belongs only to the Old Zaun people, but now the facts are before him. In addition to the Old Zaun people, there are other intelligent races in the "Gutter Area"
Survival may even have as long a history as them, and it is an authentic ancestor.
"What is the situation with those bell-rat clans? Are they also transformed from humans? Or are they simply mutated rats?"
Fandel handed Johnny Silverhand a cigarette. After learning about Johnny Silverhand's tragic story and knowing that he was actually a person from the Dig District, Fandel's wariness against Johnny Silverhand has been lowered.
There are a lot of things, let’s not say whether they are true or not. At least this cat seems to be honest enough.
"My cat companions and I are an emerging force, but the Bell Rat Tribe is indeed an old resident of the Zaun Diggy District. They have always settled in the intricate sewers of the Diggy District, and they should be considered old Zaun. As for
In fact, I don’t know their origins.”
Johnny Silverhand took the cigarette that Fander handed over. He used to love this stuff, but he couldn't usually smoke it. Now that he can smoke it casually, he doesn't like it very much anymore.
It may be because of the cat body, or it may be because of the experiments Feng Yibu conducted on him. In short, he successfully quit smoking. The process was easy, without any pain, and there was no sign of repeating it.
The fire that Fandel handed over was rejected by Johnny Silverhand. He didn't care, but lit another one on his own. After a period of quiet puffing, Fandel sorted out his thoughts.
He opened his mouth and asked:
"Are they trustworthy?"
Who "they" refers to, Johnny Silverhand naturally understands.
"Believable."
Johnny Silverhand spoke concisely and to the point, which surprised Fander.
"Why? Didn't you say that they can't even speak human language? If they can't even communicate with each other in a basic way, how can we be sure that they are trustworthy partners?"
These questions came from Hilko. He finally recovered from the shock. In Hilko's view, the cat in front of him could at least communicate, and communication was the basis of cooperation. A group of people couldn't even communicate.
Communicating rats, how can they be trusted?
"Because they dare not mess around, they have reached a consensus with Yodel. The Yodels will protect their existence, and they will work for them as Yodel's subordinates."
Johnny Silverhand's answer once again shocked Fander, Silko, and Benso. The sudden mention of the yordles by Johnny Silverhand made alarm bells ring in their hearts.
It's not that they have any hostility towards the Yodles, after all, they have had no contact with the Yodles before.
The main reason why they are vigilant is because the Yodels belong to Piltover in their hearts.
Although the yordles seemed to have had conflicts with the "Alchemy Baron" before, and even defeated the "Alchemy Baron", that had little to do with the "Gutter Area". Although the "Gutter Area" was the beneficiary, the Yodles did not
They did not reach out to the "dirt areas", they just came to promote the schools and admissions standards in the lower urban areas of Piltover.
This is of course the best thing for the children in the "digou area". After all, as long as they meet the admission standards, they can study and live in that school for free.
Although Mrs. Piltover is not welcome in the "Gutter District", this does not mean that they are "anti-intellectual." In fact, many people living in the "Gutter District" are excellent technicians, otherwise there would not be so many people here.
Talent.
However, "propaganda" and "enrollment" are still within their tolerance range, but the placement of external forces in the "ditch area" is a bit touching the bottom line of the "dark alley".
After all, the "ditch area" can be regarded as the base camp of the "dark alley". How can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? What's more, this is no longer the "side of the bed", everyone has to sleep on the bed, Fandel, Hilko
, Bensuo felt disgusted instinctively.
"Don't worry, listen to me. You must be curious, right? Why can you gain a foothold so quickly? Why do those alchemist barons seem to have no time to pay attention to you?"
Johnny Silverhand sensed the vigilance of the three Fandels, so he directly threw out a pair of "King Bombs" in his hand.
"It is the Yodels who have been secretly helping you. With the joint efforts of the Yodels, us, and the Bell Rat Clan, those Alchemy Barons have no energy to pay attention to you at all, so you have a chance to survive and take root."
Johnny Silverhand's words made Fander frown. This statement made him feel very unhappy.
Because when Johnny Silverhand said this, it was as if the rise of their "Dark Alley" was all due to the Yodels. Is their effort so insignificant?
"In fact, I don't know what their purpose is in helping you. If they are really willing, they can easily destroy those so-called alchemist barons."
Johnny Silverhand did not pay attention to the displeasure of the three Fandels, because the fact was that in the face of the power of the Yodels, the efforts of the "Black Alley" did not seem worth mentioning.
"But they didn't do that. They just helped you grow in secret. They seemed to hope that you would overthrow the Alchemy Baron. But now, due to some unknown reasons, they have given up even secretly helping you grow, and instead let us and Ling
The Rat Tribe has come forward to officially cooperate with you because we can better represent Zaun."
After Johnny Silverhand finished speaking, he looked puzzled. It was obvious that he did not understand the truth of the matter.
There is no way, although Janna's actions have her own reasons, what she wants to see is the rise of the Zaun people relying on their own strength.
But that is not easy for the Zaun people who live in dire straits. They may prefer Janna to save them. It is still difficult for gods and humans to reach a consensus. Reed does not want Janna to bear these misunderstandings.
