Chapter 393: The Tunnel Goes Forward
"Philips, who do they mean?"
Cloud Shadow asked as he crossed Philips and couldn't wait to walk towards the front of the tunnel, and Jilie and Feike immediately pulled Philips to follow.
"It's Gina and her people, they are good at striking iron, but because they are persecuted, they can only hide in the dark tunnels."
Now that the tunnel has been discovered, Philips doesn't plan to hide it, because he feels that it is the three of them who should be worried
"Good at striking iron?"
Ji Lie and Fei Ke looked at each other and had a plan in their hearts, they are not country boys like Philips who have never seen the world, it is well known that the only race in the land of Kira is dwarves, and they themselves like to dig tunnels.
"Philips, how long have you been sneaking around like this?"
Ji Lie quickly glanced at Yun Ying, who was walking in front, and was quite uneasy in his heart, speaking of which, what happened today is definitely big or small, the trouble is that it involves his own brother Philips, Fei Ke is naturally no problem - with their friendship, the former naturally knows what to say and what not to say when he goes back, but the key is that Ji Lie can't see the depth of the temporary clerk of Bolunc Manor......
"It's been almost a year, but three months ago Gina's father, Muhammad, agreed to teach me some simple iron-striking techniques."
I see, no wonder Philips suddenly wanted to be a blacksmith a few months ago - Yunying didn't think Philips was lying.
"So you've been dating those dwarves for a year? Do you know why they dug this tunnel to Boulenc Manor? ”
As he asked, he glanced at Cloud Shadow, who was hurrying away, and he was looking for Cloud Shadow's reaction - the goddess of nature blessed this woman not to be interested in dwarves, if she returned to Bolunc Manor and let the king's guards intervene.
"Well, I don't know where this tunnel came from, but Gina seems to have mentioned that the people from Bolunck Manor dug it with them, but then I didn't contact them again...... None of them had ever used the tunnel again anyway. ”
Philips' words shocked the other three again—could it be that the people of Bolunk Manor had been in contact with the dwarves for a long time?
"Since the dwarves no longer use the tunnel, can I ask Philips how you found out about it?"
Yunying's sudden interjection made Ji Lie's heart tighten. If this master doesn't speak, it's just that, and when he speaks, it's the most tricky problem.
"Tsk, it was Gina who ran to the ground and was found by me when I was plowing, the wooden plank at the entrance to this tunnel seemed to have used some special mechanism made by their people at that time, she was injured when she opened the mechanism and happened to be saved by me - in fact, I found that wooden board a long time ago, but I gave up after moving it a few times and it didn't work, anyway, its location does not affect my corn planting."
"Well, I didn't find any special mechanism when you opened the plank just now?"
"Because Gina opened the mechanism by mistake - it was destroyed, and she didn't dare tell her father, that's why I brought you in."
"Hmm. So every time you come in so easily, no one asks? ”
"Gina told the others that she brought me in! How about it, now that I betrayed my friend's trust and brought you in, you're happy? ”
Philips was a little angry by Cloud Shadow's approach of asking questions, but fortunately, the latter finally stopped asking. Or maybe Cloudshadow was completely sure that the tunnel wasn't a trap or a prank, and even more so - she was even ninety percent sure that the dwarves were the strange portrait that was going to tell the owner of Bolunc Manor, but now it seemed that Flangel and the others had lost such an important secret for some reason.
"Philips, how are you talking to Miss Cloud Shadow?!"
Ji Lie's hand holding the waist knife tightened again and again, not to mention what Cloud Shadow would do when he returned to Bolunc Manor. Even now Philips provokes Yunying and has no good fruit to eat, think of those jumping monkeys and scavenging rats who died miserably—poor brother Philips doesn't seem to understand Philip's worries at all.
"Alas, Jilie, relax, Miss Cloud Shadow won't be angry with Philips for these little things-"
Fortunately, there was also a Feike who came out to play the round, he secretly dragged Ji Lie and turned his gaze to Philips and said solemnly: "Little brother." I'll just ask you, do you know what the group of people you are talking about want to do with this tunnel to the detriment of Bouronck Manor or us? ”
“…… How is it possible, Gina and they just want to live in peace! ”
Xu was frightened by Ji Lie's expression just now. Philips is talking very well now, and to be honest, it's the first time that his brother has been angry with him when he's grown up.
"Hehe, that's fine, Miss Cloudshadow, it seems that the dwarves are no threat to us. And Philips just said that the construction of this tunnel also had something to do with the Boulenc estate - maybe we shouldn't go back and hype about it, and ask me to say that the stakes are high. Just tell Lord Bolunck or Lord Flanming about the situation, and Philips said that he didn't report it, but we really couldn't find out about it without his help, so I ask Miss Yunying to be merciful. ”
Although Feike is timid, he is much stronger than Ji Lie in terms of good brains, not only does he express the latter's worries euphemistically in a few words?
"Don't worry, I'm only interested in the dwarves."
Yun Ying, who was accustomed to intrigue and intrigues, couldn't hear Feike's twists and turns, and looked back at Ji Lie, who looked nervous, and she added with a reassuring voice: "As long as Philips leads us to find the dwarves and communicate with them smoothly - I will deal with today's matter lightly." ”
"Whew...... Great, on behalf of our whole family, thank you Miss Yunying! ”
Ji Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Cloud Shadow's assurance, these days of getting along with him had made him know that Cloud Shadow was also a man of his word, and he was very glad that he had calmed down before, saying that for a moment he really had the idea of sneak attack and kill Cloud Shadow - fools know that this is simply impossible to succeed, but who told him to have only one brother?
"Hmph, what's there to thank for, if my brother wasn't in me or he was beaten to death and didn't take anyone down the tunnel, Gina knew that she would hate me to death!"
Seeing that Ji Lie's expression had eased, Philips's dissatisfaction had come back to the surface, which made his brother hate to gag him, but Yunying didn't care about these trivial things, and her attention was all focused on an iron basket not far away.
"Philips, where does this lead?"
Cloud Shadow walked over quickly to take a closer look, and there was something similar to a railroad track under the iron basket in addition to the pulley, and looking at the tunnel that continued to slope downward, Cloud Shadow thought of the minecarts commonly used in coal mines in the twentieth century.
