#804 - Chapter 804: The End of the World for the Tramp
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
As countless rats fled in a frenzy, many citizens in Su Yingxue's territory sensed that something was wrong.
Because these rats were appearing during the daytime.
And judging by their looks, it was as if something was chasing them madly from behind!
This apocalyptic scene couldn't help but make the citizens present vigilant.
“Hey, hey, Old Yorn, did you see that?”
“What's up with these rats?”
“Have they gone mad?”
The homeless man Nobby, who made a living by begging on the street, asked his companion Yorn with a puzzled look.
Of course, Yorn, who was also a homeless man, had noticed the abnormal behavior of these rats.
However, unlike his companion Nobby, Yorn, who was hungry as soon as he woke up, didn't care about anything happening nearby.
All he wanted was to fill his stomach, and he was more concerned about whether he could get breakfast this morning.
Although, in theory, these rats could be skinned and grilled over a fire for a decent breakfast.
However, because the sewers of this city were full of remnants of magic potions, the taste of these rats who drank potion dregs was really not good.
In addition, because this city belonged to Su Yingxue, the most beautiful and kind lord of the [Su Family Guild], the city was actually full of a large number of homeless shelters belonging to various gods.
Each of these homeless shelters would provide various kinds of food to the homeless they sheltered, depending on the gods they believed in.
As long as they were willing to verbally acknowledge that they believed in the gods they served before eating!
Although these foods were not as exquisite as those eaten by respectable families, they were plentiful enough to fill the stomach of at least an adult, and they were normal foods.
And if a homeless person ate fast enough and was shameless enough, he might even have a chance to catch up with the second breakfast provided by another homeless shelter.
So, compared to eating those deformed rats due to magic potions, Yorn was more willing to eat some normal food at the homeless shelter.
“Oh, Saint Karl above, I hope the food provided in the Saint Karl shelter today is onion bread and not black bread!”
“Although I admit your black bread is also delicious, I still prefer to eat onion bread.”
While thinking this, Yorn skillfully took out a necklace representing Saint Karl from his pocket and put it around his neck.
Of course, as a professional homeless man, Yorn's pocket contained more than just this necklace representing Saint Karl.
In addition to this necklace, Yorn's pocket also contained the badge of the Goddess of Nature, the book of the Goddess of Wisdom, the mark of the Lord of the Ocean, and so on.
It could be said that which god Yorn the homeless man was a believer of only depended on what service that god's shelter provided today.
If the Saint Karl shelter provided onion bread today, then Yorn would be an absolutely standard Saint Light believer today.
But if the Goddess of Nature's shelter provided a small piece of smoked meat today, then Old Yorn would be willing to kiss the Goddess of Nature's toes and become an apostle of nature.
In short, faith, in this city, especially in the hearts of these homeless people, was not that important.
“What's important is how to fill my stomach!”
“Faith is bullshit!”
With this thought in mind, Yorn smirked, adjusted his necklace, and walked towards the Saint Karl shelter with Nobby.
However, just as Yorn was gradually quickening his pace, Nobby beside him stopped him.
“Wait a minute, Yorn.”
“I feel something is wrong!”
At this time, Nobby was still observing the fleeing rats.
It could be said that although they were both homeless men,
Nobby, who used to be an adventurer, had a much sharper intuition than Yorn.
His past life of killing told him that in the city, many animals had a sharper intuition than humans.
Therefore, whenever the animals in a city exhibited characteristics different from their usual behavior, he had to be vigilant.
So when Nobby discovered that these rats were violating their habits and running wildly in the downtown area during the daytime, the homeless man suddenly grabbed his companion and said with some horror.
“Yorn!”
“Something is really wrong now!”
“Let's run away!”
“Escape from this city!”
Hearing his companion say this, Yorn showed an extremely displeased expression.
“Are you, like these rats, out of your mind?”
“Escape?”
“Escape from this city?”
“Are you serious?”
“Have you forgotten how those religious fanatics treated us when we left this city and went to the countryside to beg?”
“Besides, I'm very hungry now, and I haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning!”
“So, no matter what happens in this world now, nothing can stop me from eating, unless it's the end of the world!”
As soon as Yorn finished speaking.
A well beside him suddenly exploded.
Then, endless gray-white unidentified objects slammed heavily onto the street.
Then, just as Yorn said.
The end of the world.
Has really arrived!
