The Rat's Problem

How you ever wonder how we get the city this big? We always clean the city, we always make our people healthy, and we always get rid of these thing called rats.

These small rodent cause trouble to my people in Valone for so long. They can cut the sack with their own teeth just to eat for a partial, causing foods to be rot.

They can get out of the hideout anytime, anywhere, no matter day or night. If they want to eat or something, they will. They can go out even the most busiest street, sprinting as if there's no tomorrow.

They can of course, bring some terrible diseases. Those who fought the rat and getting bited, even the slightest cuts, were either dead ot amputated. Even they don't bite, its filthy fur would bring the other disease upon the contact.

Thankfully, we have found the clever way to clear those creatures out of sight. It seem that the creature called cats from the farlands help us a lot. Not only of its cuteness but also an incredible hunter, catching them so easily as if they are born to hunt. We decided to give them to my friends and sell to citizens. The people seem to be happy with our desicion and so the rat reports are greatly reducing.

Right now the only place they can be found are the sewer, which we have rebuilt the whole draining system even though almost halve our treasury. I deeply hope we don't have to rebuild it so soon, but that is the future emperor's problem.
