The "Fish Training Ring" didn't fit on the white mouse's paw or head, so Shard caught the mouse with one hand and tied the ring to its long tail like a rope. As the relic's effects took hold, the dim-witted mouse gradually stopped struggling because intelligent wisdom was occupying the high ground of its mind.
It raised its head and looked at Shard. Shard stared back into the tiny black eyes of the mouse, clearly sensing the emergence of wisdom from the trembling of its fur and the "expression" in its eyes.
A moment later, the white mouse spoke:
"Oh, you **, damn it, are you going to ** me? I curse you **, really **, *****."
Its voice was not loud, and from the tone, it was a male mouse, an adult by age. It cursed Shard in heavily accented Casenric language, and Shard couldn't fully translate some of the words used:
"Last time in Midshire Fort, the owl I met also seemed proficient in cursing in Casenric."
