Chapter 36 Lunch
The Rat King introduced the scenery and interesting stories to Pepper with great enthusiasm. Tony listened foolishly. Even if he asked one or two questions occasionally, the Rat King didn't even look at him, pretending that he hadn't heard the question. Pepper retelled Tony's question before answering it. This situation made Tony very upset.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark." Beta apologized from the side: "I can explain it to you if you want."
"Defined by human knowledge, the Animo Dimension is as long as we live in the group of animals. The entire dimensional space can be roughly divided into several places. The Zoo City in the center, the rat kingdom in the north, the cat kingdom in the east, the dog kingdom in the south, and the chaos in the west."
"The Zoo City is home to all herbivorous animals and carnivorous animals, except for cats, dogs and rats. It is the utopia of residents' dreams." Beta also said to Tony in a New York tone that seemed like a dream in New York: "I have been to New York, and it is indeed a very great city. But in my eyes, Zoo City is even more shocking than New York."
"Carnivorous and herbivorous animals together, which will not cause the collapse of the natural ecosystem?" Although not a biologist, Tony also has considerable reserves for basic knowledge.
"It seems that Mr. Stark has not changed his attitude." Beta smiled when he heard Tony's words: "Although we claim to be animals, don't forget that we are also intelligent lives. Even in our opinion, human wisdom is not as high as us. At least in the Cat Kingdom, a large number of residents look down on humans."
"That only one of those stinky cats makes sense." The Rat King also spoke when he heard Beta's words: "But that's it. He is still immersed in the glory of the previous era. No wonder their kingdom is in a bad state now." Speaking of this, the Rat King couldn't help but look at Pepper again: "So this is the beginning of the revival of our Rat Kingdom!" His eyes were fanatical.
"Wait! Last Era?!" Tony seemed to hear some amazing words.
"You heard it right." Continuing to drive the car, seeing the Rat King continue to ignore Tony, Beta replied: "Whether our Enimo dimension or other dimensions are all people who survived the last universe explosion."
"The amount of information is too large, and I can't accept it for a while." Tony rubbed his temples: "You just mentioned other dimensions, that is, not only the Enimo dimension, but also other existences such as the Ranimo dimension and the Kanimo dimension?"
"Of course." Beta replied strangely: "Nothing will be absolute and unique. There will only be almost absolute and relatively unique. This is the theorem of the universe, right?"
"Then the people who led us here? Or they were also mice?" Tony thought of Sasha.
"No, they are hunters of the Hunter Association. They are humans on Earth. They are just a group of special people." Beta explained.
"We're coming." Another road was opened. Beta suddenly spoke. When he heard the words, Pepper and Tony looked forward unconsciously.
I saw a spectacular castle standing not far away. The round tower, narrow windows, semicircular arches, and low dome roofs give people a sense of solidity, heavy, balanced and stable, and saturated strength. The narrow windows form a strong contrast with the vast space inside. Tony does not understand architecture, but this old castle makes him know that it is very historical.
The stone car drove all the way to the castle before stopping. After stopping, someone opened the car door outside. A gray mouse in a tuxedo dress was smiling and saying to them: "Dear Your Majesty, the daughter of Qilin, welcome your return. Lunch is ready and can be started at any time."
"Then let's go. I believe you are a little hungry too. After the meal is over, I will send you back to Earth." The Rat King took the guy who helped the lady get off the car very gentlemanly. Although he was a mouse, his highly developed IQ and his kingly temperament also made Pepper feel as flattered as if he was a princess.
Looking around the various roads of the castle, Tony felt that it was indeed very ritual. At least with a light sweep, he saw more than a dozen fully armed rat soldiers. They were still with guns. But it also made him feel a little confused.
"Don't be puzzled." Beta was like a roundworm in Tony's belly: "Although this is the rat kingdom, it is also the border between the rat kingdom and the cat kingdom."
"Let's go." At this time, the Rat King had already started calling people, and he took Pepper and Tony into the castle.
Walking in the long corridor of the castle, you can quietly look around and look at the view by the window. The noon sun shrouds the vast forest and passes through this lush forest. The endless natural scenery is very shocking.
I arrived at the restaurant and started eating.
The lunch was lively and vulgar, and the music played by the musicians was endless. Although there were only four people, or creatures, several people seemed to speak happily and enjoy themselves. Even the Rat King, who had never looked at Tony, talked to him for a few words during the period. Although anyone with discerning eyes could see that he was just talking perfunctorily. But at least the relationship had eased, and the Rat King had already called Tony back.
"Dear Pepper, there is something, you must try it." Rubbing his mouth, the Rat King recommended to Pepper.
"What?" The diet at the banquet was far beyond Pepper and Tony's expectations. It was not that it was too bad, but it was too good. On Earth, men and women who were also at the top of the pyramids expressed their misunderstanding of the special taste of things. So after hearing the recommendation of Rat King, they were also curious.
I signaled to the butler, who personally presented a product, a very common piece of raw meat, red, but for some reason, Pepper, who used to eat one-point and three-point cooked beef, felt a soreness when he looked at the meat for no reason.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing the things presented by the housekeeper, Beta hurriedly said: "Since we need to send Ms. Potz and Mr. Stark back first after the meal. Why not let Ms. Potz try the next time she visits?"
"Shut up, Beta, are you questioning me as the king?" The Rat King spoke angrily at Beta. When he heard the Rat King's words, Beta lowered his head, but his trembling shoulders seemed to be suppressing something. At the same time, he frequently looked at the watch, as if he was confirming something.
"What is this?" Tony spoke seemingly indifferently. After an hour or two, he did not believe in these guys at all. He was just a person who had to bow his head under the roof. Now the mouse he was not in deal with took out a strange food for Pepper to eat, so of course he had to ask.
"This is black tiger meat. Although it is very rare, it is not very important." The Rat King said indifferently: "It tastes very strange, you can really taste it."
"Okay!" Seeing the Rat King invite him so enthusiastically, Pepper couldn't refuse. She grabbed the knife and fork and cut off something that seemed to be black tiger meat. The blade cut on the raw meat. For some reason, she also felt like her heart was twisted. But this feeling flashed by, as if it was an illusion.
"No!" Just as Pepper was about to put the meat into his mouth, a loud shout came out, stopping Pepper's next move.
