Chapter 70 Rat Selection

The news that Ictor wanted to select rat people to join the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not spread, but even so, there were still speculative rats who saw that the matter was not simple.

After breakfast this morning, the Love Education Camp did not conduct drills immediately, uncharacteristically. Their leader, Genil, was very irritated and gave the order to rest in place, without even asking to stand in line.

In addition, Genil also informed them that some rats might be called after a while, and then all they had to do was to enter the small room in the cafeteria.

In order to regain his power, Genil did his best to recommend some ratmen under his command to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the specific appointment situation still needs to be checked by Ictor and Yarrow.

Selecting reliable people among these rat people is inherently unreliable, and in addition to the need to free up time for other work, Ickert prepared a streamlined interview process.

Ictor and Yaro borrowed a back room in the cafeteria, placed ink bottles on the table, inserted quills, spread out parchment for recording, and placed a plate of scraps for snacks.

With the bread and accompanying sauce, everything is ready.

Inside the door was Aris, who came to study and also served as a guard. Outside the door were Ictor's knight squire Geralt and the storm rat Sank from the battalion.

Sank, the rat, can be regarded as Genil's deputy. Since rat men always use smell rather than appearance to identify another rat, it is necessary for such a rat man to find the rat he wants for Ictor.

.

After everything was ready, Iket ordered a caravan clerk to inform the troops.

"Very good, let's go out."

"Are you a pacesetter?"

“If you don’t dare to eat, you don’t have to eat.”

"Brother Barov, you can tell them to prepare."

Since Ictor did not ask Genil to maintain order, many rats came forward to ask Mrom, but Mrom did not respond.

"Okay, first question, what do you think of your Commander Genil? Just relax and answer truthfully. The guys outside can't hear it."

"Don't you dare?"

The blood fingerprints record the scent characteristics of each rat-man, which is what truly connects the rat-men with their names.

Barov walked to the door of the cafeteria and shouted "Ready!" to the door.

"Okay, Lord."

Finally, Ictor briefly asked how much he knew about his team of ratmen and other teams of ratmen.

Although the rat people have different requirements for themselves, they still have this intention.

"Don't be nervous Mrom, we are not here to judge you."

"Sank, please bring this rat named Murom."

"Yes, yes, clan leader, I am the pacesetter rat who was nominated yesterday."

In the room, Ictor took out the parchment with a list of names. In addition to the letters written in ink, the list of ratmen also had red bloody fingerprints corresponding to each name.

"Although Chief Genil is not half as smart as Mrom, he can be regarded as a good mouse with some brains. He, a smart little guy, chose Mrom. Tsk, tsk, Mrom chose to believe him for the time being."

Mrom was really frightened.

Seeing that this rat was so easy to cook, Ictor casually asked the questions he had prepared in advance, asking him roughly what he thought of his kind and camp life.

After Sank smelled it, he went out and came back with a rat named Murom.

The back room of the cafeteria cannot be said to be bright and bright, and the sun can only filter in through the only small window in the room. At this time, there are three untouchable humans sitting inside, and one of them still has a sword.

Ictor ordered, handing over the list for Sank to smell.

Before the official start, Ictor planned to show Yaro a rat-man, so he randomly selected a rat.

"oh?"

Afterwards, they learned how to show off their "best" side as they did for the first time, and waited for the "selection" that might come.

"If I guess correctly, it was your Commander Geniel who nominated you to be the Pacesetter Rat, right?"

Geralt said as he walked to the window of the cafeteria and quietly stared at Mrom as he walked out.

Ictor used the contract hint to seduce the rat man into answering as truthfully as possible.

After eating the bread, Iket continued to say to the overwhelmed Mrom:

"Listen up Mrom, we are going to ask you a few questions next. Don't put any pressure on you, just answer them truthfully."

"That's the end of the conversation, Mrom. As you can see, there is nothing to be nervous about. Now you can return to the team, but please be careful! Be especially careful not to reveal the conversation between you and me. This is very important."

"Go outside and see what the rat is doing. Stay hidden."

"Clan leader, I will tell you everything you know!"

Although the rat man's answer had a rather "arrogant" feeling, Ictor was quite surprised to hear Genil's positive comments from him.

Seeing this, Ictor ate the piece of bread himself.

Ictor followed the Pacesetter Rat's nomination list and found that Mrom's name was indeed there, and that he was ranked second only to Targaryen.

Mrom said happily, not noticing anything special about the conversation.

Seeing this scene, Mrom immediately panicked.

There were only three people and one mouse left inside the door.

Stormvermin executed Ict's order perfectly and closed the wooden door tightly in silence.

Judging from Murom's answer, this is a rat man who cares more about the things around him. Compared with those selfish and low-key rat men, he will be more proactive in obtaining information.

"No, no, no! Clan leader, what did I do wrong? I really don't dare to eat it!"

"Yesyes, clan leader, Mrom will never reveal even a word!"

Ictor waved his hand and sent the rat man out of the small room, then called Geralt outside the door and said to him:

"Yes, Lord Lord."

Iket said relaxedly, and his sitting posture gradually became more casual. He also picked up a piece of broken bread very friendly, handed it to Mroom and said:

"Do you eat bread?"

I always feel like I'm going to be judged.

But Geralt still found a mouse who handed him some slices of bread, and then several mice walked to the corner shoulder to shoulder and whispered.

"Very good, close the door and you can go out."

When the rat people heard this, they almost subconsciously thought that the canteen was open for dinner, and rushed to the canteen. Fortunately, the clan rats reminded them that they had already eaten.

Mroom trembled, but finally gave the answer.

"Yes, the clan leader is really good at predicting things!"

This situation was quickly reported to Iket.

"Lord, this rat is not as trustworthy as he boasts. His mouth is more open than Bi Chi in the village!"

Yaro said angrily that these rat men really did one thing in front of their faces and behind their backs, and they were much more skilled at playing the game than humans. They were already able to trade food in just a short while.

The worst thing is that Lord Iket's carefully prepared questions were leaked so easily!

If we continue to let things go like this, big news may break out one day!
