Chapter Ninety-Four: Welcome Back to Kagun
As the saying goes: the brave are invincible.
The dwarf Kage confirmed this statement. Whether he's facing vampires in Gread's City or being struck by magic at the mouth of Mandun, he's always saved the day. He charges forward every time, letting the people behind him secretly sweat for him, but in the end, he is the one who doesn't need others to worry about the most.
The phrase "shooting a bird in the head" seems to be ineffective for Kegun, or that even if he is beaten, he can always rely on his own courage and energy to wear off the power of this gun.
In order to chase the two homeless people in the bazaar, Kagan forgot all about the safety of Xiao Ah and Adri behind him, and was bent on defeating each other.
As soon as the choking smoke powder was released, Kai Gen spread his legs and ran in the direction of the two men, so he was not hindered much. He was short in stature, had a low center of gravity, and rushed like a fearless four-wheeled carriage. The two homeless men felt that the pursuers behind them were not easy to deal with, so they made a color to each other, and fled directly towards the predetermined place, which was obviously the entrance to the sewer near the bazaar.
These two guys are very familiar with the road, and like a trick, they twist their bodies more nimble than cats, and in the blink of an eye they are in the dark hole. The short Kaigen is not tall, but he has a big shoulder and a round waist, and it takes a lot of effort to get into it.
He was bent on grabbing the other man, so he didn't think much about it, but of course, to be on the safe side, he put his hands holding the two axes into the hole first, and then carefully poked his head and shoulders into it.
At the entrance to the sewer is a gentle slope, and Kaigen uses gravity to slowly move down. It was pitch black inside, and the dwarf couldn't help but scold: "Damn, what did these water rats eat and grow up, this kind of ghost place can even stay!"
His bulging body moved down the slope, and suddenly, the gentle terrain suddenly became a falling cliff, and Kai Gong was caught off guard and fell heavily, but fortunately there was a soft, slimy sediment underneath, otherwise he would have to fall and bleed.
The surrounding environment has changed, and it is no longer dark. A filthy sink on the ground, constantly reflecting the light that popped out of the rocks on the walls. These were supposed to be cold crystals, and while Kai Gen might not have remembered the name entirely, he knew in his heart that it was the kind of thing that was under the crypts of Gled City.
He looked up at the tunnel above where he had descended, and then looked around at the path, and suddenly there was a trace of confusion, what kind of magical powers the water rats were, how could they lie dormant for so long in such a harsh environment. He was brave and fearless, but he was still shocked by the filthy sight in front of him.
The excrement of the entire imperial capital of the city of Cesar flows underneath it, and all sins gather here. The sound of dripping water made people feel sick, and the smell was so bad that the dwarf almost wanted to cut off his nose. There was also a spicy smell in his eyes, and the atmosphere here was like a hell in people's imagination.
He wasn't worried about his situation, because he was bent on capturing those two. He is a straight-hearted man, who does not care about his own safety in the most dangerous moments, and always only moves towards a set goal.
Kaigen grunted, stepping on knee-deep dirty water, and with the light of the cold crystal, he continued to explore the path of the underground tunnel. He even hummed dwarven tunes that no one could understand as he walked, to drive away the foul smell.
When Albert and the Imperial Guard went to check for news, the persistent dwarf was still searching underground. He had actually taken a fork in the road, heading for a place that no one had set foot in years.
A few of the paupers have a close relationship with the sewer homeless people, and they are willing to act as intermediaries to contact these "water rats" who are like frightened birds. Sledgehammer Walter had also retreated below with his accomplices at this time, although he was hit hard by Adrian with the carriage and vomited blood on the spot, but he was like a phoenix Nirvana, and miraculously woke up under the constant calls of several good brothers. As if nothing happened, he picked up the knocked tooth into his pocket, spit out the blood clot in his throat, and within a few minutes he was back to his life.
The sewer boss was already very worried when he heard the news of Bigmouth's arrest, but the miraculous survival of Sledgehammer still gave him some encouragement. After the few poor people conveyed Xiao A's meaning, all of a sudden, the water rats were divided into two factions, one group advocated stubborn resistance to the end, and the other group advocated calming things down.
The two guys who threw the smoke powder immediately said with a hint of schadenfreude: "Big brother, that dwarf did run with us for a while, but when he got to the sewer, he lost it, probably falling into the tunnel on the next level. ”
The leader of the water rats shook his head, half talking to himself, half to the group: "It's not like usual, the emperor has just encountered assassins in the arena, and then there is this commotion in our market, the duke is also dead, and our big mouth has been caught. In this case, you should keep a low profile and don't take chances. Since the boss is willing to salute first and then soldier, we can't do too much, why don't we choose a few brothers who are familiar with the path to go down, and take the initiative to return the dwarf after finding it, it can be regarded as a decision, what do you think?"
Walter the Sledgehammer was the kind of fierce man who was thick and thin, and he unexpectedly agreed with the chief, but the two little henchmen were not happy, and they managed to shake off the dwarf and let him fall deeper into the sewers, and this was the time to enjoy the pleasure, and no one else could intervene to help.
Of course, the end result must be that the arms can't twist the thighs, and with the approval of the leader and the support of the sledgehammer, this is an overwhelming advantage in every way. The water rats, which had been divided into two rows, were successfully reunited in an instant. They belong to the kind of people who share difficulties, and in this situation, it is easier to inspire unity.
The sewers of the city of Cesar are extremely complicated, with several layers up and down, the oldest and deepest part of which has long been deserted, and the place where Kaigen fell belongs to the tunnel built a hundred or two hundred years ago, although it is still exerting residual heat, but it is basically unattended.
Of course, the homeless people are not indestructible, and the places they choose are all carefully processed, either because the terrain is originally higher, or they are artificially excavated and sealed the day after tomorrow. In short, although the general environment of the sewers is dark and damp, the gathering places for these people are relatively clean and comfortable.
The search for a dwarf, or a lackey of the upper aristocracy, coupled with the twists and turns of the filthy pipes, all these disadvantages are mixed together, so that everyone can not be interested. If it weren't for the good of the whole sewer homeless man, everyone would have wanted to leave that dwarf down there and leave him to fend for himself.
It can be regarded as a Jiren with his own natural appearance, a fool has a foolish fortune, and Kai Gen, who hummed a dwarf song that no one could understand, was finally successfully found by several homeless people who were familiar with the terrain. In order not to waste time, those men squatted separately at the forks where they were most likely to be walked by an unknown person, and in less than half an hour, they unexpectedly quickly achieved their goal.
The dwarf was ready to fight at first, but the homeless man knew how to adapt to the situation, calling him one by one, and telling him that he was the one above that His Highness Albert had asked them to find him.
On the one hand, Kagan was a little dazed by the stench, and on the other hand, he was also stunned by the sudden appearance of the word Albert. Yes, I have the responsibility to protect, why did this obsession come to this bird place. If His Royal Highness makes any mistakes, won't the old duke ask himself?
He threw his two axes into the puddle, and all sorts of messy filth came to his face, and the few homeless people on the side were also killed. They swallowed their anger and just wanted to send this Lafayette away as soon as possible, so as to get the peace of the sewers.
After nine twists and eighteen bends, Kai Gen followed those people to the ground in a daze, his small head was full of paste, and he couldn't figure out how he had fallen straight up and down just now, and now there was still a way to go up.
Albert greeted him with a smile, not minding the filth on the kegun. In broad daylight, the dwarf finally had a fuller understanding of his image. When you're underground, you can toss as much as you want, and no outsiders will look at you anyway. But now it's different, dozens of pairs of eyes look at it together, making this Kaigun, who never cares about his own image, feel embarrassed.
His five-short figure was originally a talking point, but now it has added all kinds of shiny filth, which makes people feel that it is a live drama.
Kai Gen came up and asked, "Your Highness, are you okay, my mind is hot, and I forget what I am doing, I am really sorry." ”
Albert still only smiled, and he thanked the middlemen of the poor who helped him, and also thanked the homeless people who went to the rescue. He said goodbye to the Imperial Guards appointed by the Emperor, meaning that his mission was complete and they could go back to their lives. He took Kaigun's hand and headed towards the Imperial Capital Church.
The passers-by all pointed their fingers, shocked by the stinking and filthy description of the Kaigun.
The dwarf himself was also a little puzzled, although His Royal Highness Albert was smiling, but he always looked at himself incorrectly, and he seemed to have something to complain about deep in his heart and did not burst out.
When he first entered the church hall, Kai Gun's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw the coffin parked in the middle, he didn't know what to do, and asked loudly: "Whose is this? If you die, you will die, what heaven and hell are all nonsense, and living is the most real." Instead of being so grand after death, it is better to eat, drink and have fun before death. ”
Adrian, Cosette, and several of the monks in the church all turned to look at him, and Kagun, who was about to say something more, Albert couldn't help but explode.
If you want to know what will happen next, we will break it down next time.
