Chapter 339: An Unexpected Discovery (Part II)
The walls on both sides of the underground passage, inlaid with night pearls, provided a faint light, but the visibility was only ten meters at most, just enough to provide cover for the two people who rushed in.
Ariel ran around the corner of the hallway, the air seemed to be a little cooler, and the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger, and the girl stopped and looked quietly.
Empty for the time being...
Suddenly, Ayton grabbed her ear behind her and walked back, causing the girl to beg for mercy.
"Wow, it hurts, it hurts... Brother, stop, stop."
"Are you still running around?" Ayton stared at Ariel with a straight face.
"Don't run away, it's coming, brother, let's sneak in and take a look, just a look" Ariel earnestly raised a finger in reassurance.
"Still thinking about it!"
Ayton pulled out a hand and held it above her head, and the girl shrank her head, her pleading eyes fluttering but she couldn't get her hands down.
A cool breeze came, and after a pause, Ayton finally put down his arm: "Forget it, it's all here, just take a look, and leave after reading it." ”
Quan should satisfy her curiosity, after all, he followed Starry Night and Filip to study the magic guide gun for so long yesterday, and he really ignored her feelings.
"Great, brother," Ariel happily hugged Ayton and kissed him lightly under the cheek.
Wiping the residual humidity on his face, Ayton thought to himself that maybe he could really find something this time, after all, the temperature here is not normal...
The curious two entered a state of stealth, like ghosts in the night, quietly and gradually deepened, and soon found two warehouse-like compartments in front of them, on one side were piled up with several tons of saltpeter, and the smell of gunpowder 'white-powder', and on the other side was piled up with half-melted ice, on which there were several ventilation ducts, and the cold air emitted by the ice cubes was estimated to be transmitted from here to the depths.
"Saltpeter, brother, don't you just need that thing, just so let's get some back. Ariel looked at Ayton briefly. There is no consciousness that you can't take other people's things indiscriminately.
In line with the principle of not wanting nothing in vain, Ayton casually put a ton of saltpeter into the storage space, and at the same time shouted to the sleeping Mei'er inside: "Don't sleep, get up and work"
After six days of rest, Mei'er's spiritual strength returned to its peak, and due to the nourishment of the soul spring, the soul body became more condensed.
"Hey, master, what's the trouble again" Mei'er woke up with a yawn (generally, she wouldn't be awake without strong enemies around)
"Just walk around with Ariel and help me notice if there's anyone nearby. ”
"Okay...", Mei'er, who feels that she is being used as a tool man, has a somewhat resentful tone.
"Brother, what the hell is this place, I want to go in and see it again, maybe there are more good things. Seeing that her actions had brought some substantial benefits, Ariel lifted her chin a little smugly.
"Haven't made enough of it?"
"No, no, I don't believe anyone here can find us anyway. Ariel shook her head.
"Okay, remember to be vigilant at all times" Ayton reluctantly made a compromise, with Mei'er's mental power, no matter what trouble he encountered, he could always escape with Ariel as soon as possible.
The murmur from the depths was getting closer and closer, and I guessed that I walked around the corner in front of me, and then opened a door to see inside.
But opening the door won't work now, and finally Ariel turns her gaze to the vent that transmits the cold air...
"Brother, what the hell is this place?" Ariel's voice behind him couldn't help but fill the excitement in the narrow vent, as if they were going on a secret adventure that no one knew.
"Underground entertainment venues" There was a faint smell of tobacco in the air, and the noisy shouts below grew louder and louder, as if a gamble was being played, including the sound of clinking glasses of wine and swallowing food.
"Mei'er, what are the strong people down there?"
"No, in terms of fighting spirit, most of them are about third-order waste, but there are also a lot of fourth-order ones. Mei'er's tone was a little lazy.
Ayton secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in order to accompany Ariel to complete this 'adventure', he was a hundred times more energetic.
Climbing through the end of the vents, he finally got a glimpse of the underground scene through the folding shutters, but this surprised Ayton, who thought it was just an entertainment venue. Ariel was curious to climb up and take a look, but Ayton pushed her back.
"What the hell is in there, let me take a look?"
"Don't look, we should go back!"
"Huh... Could it be..."
Even though she didn't see the movement inside, but it was so close, the intermittent moaning of the woman still reached her ears. Her curiosity was satisfied, and she obediently retreated.
Just as Ayton was about to go back, a conversation suddenly came from below that surprised him.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, the research of 'Fire Thunder' has been very smooth, and the preparation is very thorough, and I guarantee that no one else will find out. ”
It was an unfamiliar low male voice, but the person who was talking to it made Ayton's face change slightly.
"Have you been in contact with that person named Ayton?" a familiar magnetic male voice sounded, and through the voice, Ayton quickly judged that the person was Lan Coco's second brother, that is, the third prince of Huangyao City, Roddy Winston. And between the words, he was even involved!?
Ariel in the back also heard that the person below was Lan Coco's second brother, and wanted to step forward to peek again, but was pressed back by Ayton.
"Not for the time being, the two target people went out this morning, and the subordinates didn't dare to follow too closely, so they are sending people to guard their residence. If there is a message, we will reply as soon as possible. The voice hesitated and continued, "And the second prince has already sent someone to contact him in the academy first..."
“... Got it. Luo Dirui's eyes were deep, looking at the scene full of yin in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Remember, try to satisfy their desires." ”
"Obey" a strange smile appeared on the corner of the squire's mouth.
"The marquis's maid should have been brought back, right?"
Hearing this, Ayton immediately knew that he couldn't stay any longer, and his eyes quickly motioned for the resentful girl behind him to return the same way.
The latter pursed his lips, and the two of them walked back quietly and soon came to the storage compartment they had gone up to.
"Brother, that is Lan Keke's respected second brother, tsk, I didn't expect it to be this kind of person. Ariel smacked her lips.
"......" Ayton recalled the scene he saw at first sight, what kind of entertainment place was there, it was clearly a paradise for venting, everyone in it was like a beast that could not see the slightest reason, and he wanted to release all the desires in his heart.
Moreover, Lan Keke's second brother, who has not seen the beginning and the end, is actually investigating himself, and there is so much saltpeter hoarded here, what the hell do you want to do!?
"Master, someone's coming!"
"Got it," Ayton shouted to the girl next to him, who was still a little unsatisfied, "Enough fun, we should go." ”
The two of them returned the way they came, and when they reached the ground building, they found that the poor woman who had been moved to the room had awakened, but her eyes were full of empty colors.
Ayton didn't have time to pay attention to her, and Ariel quickly put on the mask they had purchased earlier, and flew down the alley, looking for a way out.
On the way home, Ariel took Ayton's arm and said playfully, "Brother, I heard it all." ”
"So what..."
"I didn't expect Lan Keke's second brother to be in control of that kind of place, no wonder she couldn't see anyone every day. ”
"You... Don't be fooled by superficial appearances. Ayton tapped the tip of her nose and scolded with a smile: "Don't say this in front of Lan Coco, he may have his own reasons for doing this." ”
"Why," Ariel's eyes bent into crescents, "the unsightly entertainment underground, the tobacco in the air, the saltpeter used to make gunpowder, and... They're actually hitting our attention, huh. ”
"Whatever he wants, let's just get involved. "Ayton still hasn't figured it out, I heard that the three princes are not involved in the battle for the heir, why are they secretly engaged in these things, and secretly ordered people to investigate the other two princes, and they are hidden.
Because of the experience in the underground entertainment venue, Ariel was almost satisfied, and returned to the mansion with Ayton.
It's just that they would never have imagined that because of Ariel's sudden curiosity, what a huge butterfly effect it would have on the development of the situation in Huangyao City a few days later...
Under the hot sun, Baiss was still training the newcomers to the South End.
It's just that there are a few more luxurious carriages nearby, Ayton thought it was the person sent by the mysterious third prince to monitor, but when he walked in, Ayton saw the figures of Lan Coco and Cexili...
