92 Where is the old man?
Sitting in the elevator and speeding down, overcoming the strong discomfort caused by gravity, when the elevator door opened and walked out of the elevator, looking at the still bustling dungeon under his feet, Xia actually felt like a world away.
It seems that the phrase still lingers in my ears: "Welcome to the Undercity!" My lady! ”
Just stretched out his hand, and the picturesque, beautiful figure in front of him dissipated. In front of me is another person's hand.
"What's wrong with you, aren't you used to elevators?" North saw her stunned and reached out to help her. North returned to the Undercity like a fish in water because of Bigia's discomfort, exuding joy all over his body.
"It's just that my head is a little dizzy......" Xia retracted her hand and forced a forced smile. It's time for us to go our separate ways. Your Excellency, General. ”
North looked left and right: "Well, it's okay, I'll go over to find you later." Where do you plan to stay? ”
"The Sludge Inn."
North raised his eyebrows in surprise, he thought she was going to go to Simon.
"Then you put this away," he said, ripping off his accessory, a ruby brooch trimmed with gold trim, and placing it in the palm of Thea's hand.
"If anyone bothers you, take this out and report my name. Although I know you won't be bullied......" he winked at her. "However, I think it's much better for you to save people than to kill people!"
Thea clenched the brooch angrily. "Yes! This will be counted as a deposit for my rescue of you, and please remember to pay the balance, General Nathanos. ”
"When you go back to the Undercity, you have such a clear relationship with me, Shia, you really make me sad." Having said that, North didn't lean in front of her as usual this time, but waved goodbye to her. "So be it, see you later. I'll look for you at the inn. ”
Watching North's back fade into the crowd, Thea let go of the brooch in her hand.
"Hey, there's a word...... "Thea's fingers ran over the base of the brooch, feeling uneven. She flipped the brooch over and saw that the gold base was engraved with a line of small letters, "The Queen's Warrior".
Can this kind of thing be sent indiscriminately? Thea frowned, carefully tucked the brooch into the space bag, ready to return it to him when she saw North.
Raising her head and looking around, Xia couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Still, I have to come back......"
Come to think of it, she didn't spend a few days in the Undercity, but spent a little longer in the Chapel of Light's Wish. Remembering those days...... Marlan ...... Xia couldn't help but sigh heavily, secretly thinking about her future plans, turned around and walked down the ramp, and went to the lower city.
The streets of the Undercity still wind the same, and it took a lot of effort for Thea to find the home she remembered. Standing in front of the house, Thea rang the doorbell, but no one answered.
"Strange, where did Mick and Alex go? It doesn't seem to be at home, alas......"
"Love Retaxia?" As Thea was about to turn away, a question in the affirmative came from behind her.
Thea turned around and saw that it was Vicky. Maybe it's because of the long time they've been apart, Vicky and her memories have changed a lot, and she almost didn't recognize her. Vicky wears a priest's off-white robe, holding the canon in her hand.
"Mick and they're not home," Vicky looked at Sia warily, "Alex has been sent to the Undead Barrier as an Executive, and Mick has applied to be transferred there." Now it's just me in the house. ”
"Oh, okay. Thank you. Then I'll come back next time. Seeing that Vicky didn't mean to invite her into the house, Thea walked down the stairs and prepared to leave.
Vicky's lips squirmed slightly, as if she wanted to ask her something, but hesitated to say it. As Thea passed by her, she finally couldn't help but speak, "Have you been to see Simon?" ”
"No, what's wrong?"
"He's missing, you know?" Vicky said this with a fixed gaze on Thea, trying to see some clues in her face.
It's a pity that she was disappointed, Xia just looked suspicious and said blankly: "Missing? I don't know, hasn't he been in the Undercity all along? ”
Seeing that she looked completely unaware, Vicky turned to a smile and said, "But it doesn't have to be missing, Mick said that he will be fine, but he has lost contact temporarily." After all, Tanaris...... Okay, I won't tell you, I have to prepare for today's homework, I just passed the assessment of the Eighth Order Priest. Her tone was full of pride.
"Congratulations......" Xia absentmindedly said goodbye to her.
Simon is missing...... The only person who knew about her past, was missing. There was a hint of uneasiness in Thea's heart, but what could she do now? Her steps were getting faster and faster.
Returning to this deep underground, what was the past, and is there any meaning to her?
It's just that...... Thea looked at the black dome above her head, her heart full of disgust. I hate it and want to get out of here right away. Thea closed her eyes, completely unaware of where her disgust for the Undercity came from, like a bird in a cage, the pain of losing its freedom, suffocation, and repression. But she also knew that as the Forsaken, the Undercity was the safest place to be.
The Forsaken walking alone on the ground were simply targets for movement, like street rats, killed as quickly as they could be - no race in the Eastern Kingdoms could tolerate them.
Why don't you go to the Mercenary Guild and have a look, Xia smiled bitterly. She now misses her days in the Plaguelands more and more.
When she was about to walk to the Mercenary Guild, Xia remembered Leo again, so she changed her mind, "I don't know how Cerma's illness is, let's go to the Royal Apothecary Guild first." ”
The Royal Society of Pharmacists is at the lowest level of the underground. As soon as I walked to the door of the association, I met Leo who came out of it.
Leo looked so worried that he didn't even notice Thea.
"Leo!" Shia stopped him, "What's wrong with you, your face is so ugly." Is Selma okay? ”
"It's okay......" Leo smiled on his face, and then lowered his voice: "This is not the place to talk, let's go back to the inn." ”
Thea nodded.
