Surprisingly, Radiel’s flute works; some of the rats (about half) pay attention to the sound, and they stand on their hind legs, searching for the source of the sound.
Radiel spends the rest of the night wandering the streets with his guitar, scaring crows and stray cats with eerie chords. The next day, he shares this information with Lin and shares his ideas:
— We can use this to lure them into a trap – I’ll distract some of the rats, and then it will be easier to deal with the rest.
This is where today’s outing came to an end – the squad had been out long enough, and there had been enough emotional stress, so they headed back to the tavern.
— I wonder who this vengeful sorcerer they were talking about is, and what he forgot in the mountains? — he said, more thinking out loud, as Joe, who was sitting next to him and had already had a few drinks, probably wasn’t even listening.
