Sixty-three

The four urban districts of Lanfeng City, according to the function, the east city is the aristocratic district, where various nobles gather, there are beautiful villas, large meadows, and a small park. The magnificent building facing the park was the residence of the lord of the city, Hodley;

Xicheng District is a trade area, with huge trade markets, women's streets, commercial streets, casinos, pubs, inns, pharmacies, equipment stores, auction houses, etc. - or various commercial places opened by NPCs or players;

Namseong-gu is an industrial area, a fireworks factory in Teapot Street, and a variety of blacksmith shops, repair shops, and forging shops...... Tailors, tanners, plasterers and craftsmen of all stripes gather here, as well as large slums. It's also the most chaotic place;

Beicheng District is a residential and political area. The Artisan Guild, Guild Headquarters, Chamber of Commerce Headquarters, Vice-Job Agency, Cathedral, Adventurers' Guild, and other large institutions are located here;

In the center of Lanfeng City was a large square, and in the center of the square was a huge teleportation array.

The lot I was in charge of in this mission was Dongcheng District. The scenery here is pleasant, the air is fresh, quiet and peaceful, that nature, here are all the nobles of Lanfeng City. Originally, I thought it would be better to start my research in this kind of place, but after a closer look, I immediately realized that this decision was extremely wrong.

For example, if Master Shaq had set the entrance to the underground factory in his home, how would I find it? Could it be that one by one knocks on the door and asks? Please, this is the aristocratic area, the key protection area of the patrol, and any nobleman who provokes can shout thousands of soldiers with one voice.

Sitting on a bench on the side of the road, looking at the fountain in the grass, I couldn't help but shake my head.

I turned on the team channel and asked the people in the team about the progress of their queries, and sure enough, as I expected, no one knew what to do.

Moses said, "I'm in the market right now, it's crowded, and the entrance won't be here." ”

Fang Ding said: "It's unlikely here, the flow of people is so large, if the entrance is in this kind of place, it should have been discovered earlier." ”

"I hate it, people look at me in a daze......"

Aaron sighed, "You are so happy, do you know what I found? Face-hugging bugs! You can't imagine that there is such a disgusting thing in this world! Oh, my God! ~~~ There are actually a large number of players here, and they are looking for a ring everywhere!! ”

The Magic Flute expressed its opinion: "It turns out that it is possible that the exit is not in the city, but outside the city?" In that case, even if we turn the city upside down, we won't be able to find it! ”

I thought for a moment and said, "I think we should change our minds, since he's definitely at our feet." Let's think about the connection between the underground factory and the ground......"

Moses muttered, "Vent! A factory as big as underground must need a lot of vents! The vents must not be in the dense construction area, and, water! He needs water! ”

Vents, water sources, my thoughts gradually became clearer. I was thinking, what would I do if I were allowed to live below ground level? Before I could figure out why, I suddenly stared at the other side and didn't move. Fountain! Fountain on the grass across from me!!

There is an artificial pool in the meadow with a circle of pipes in it. The outermost tube is the lowest, low in the water, and does not spray water. The middle layer is a fountain, which forms the shape of a flower. And on the innermost level, there are one or two dozen pipes standing tall. They don't spray water at all, which is probably the vent!

I immediately commanded on the group channel.

"Attention departments, attention departments...... Please quickly find the nearest fountain in your location and describe it to me! Repeat: quickly find the nearest fountain in your location and describe it to me! ”

Hearing my command, the B.S members scattered all over the city got busy, and of course there were always exceptions. As soon as I finished speaking, Aaron complained: "Fountain? Please~~~ Who would install a fountain in such a stinky place! ”

"Aaron, don't stay there. Get back to the ground quickly! I said hurriedly.

"Yes!" Aaron shouted happily.

After five minutes, Moses was the first to reply, "Haha, so you're so smart." I found a fountain with a row of pipes that didn't spray water! ”

At the same time, the magic flute also shouted: "I am now in the big square in the center of the city, and all the fountains here have no water, they are all in high places, and it is so good that they are hidden!" ”

After a few minutes, Fang Ding and Rose also found the fountains, and according to their descriptions, each fountain had some high water pipes that did not spray water. Obviously, those are the vents of the underground factory.

I laughed, "Besides, are some pipes still hidden in the water?" This is also where he draws water! ”

Everyone was looking closely, and sure enough, they found some underwater pipes. Some pipes are still bubbling from time to time, and it's obvious that water is ingressing! Everyone cheered, and finally found some eyebrows.

But Fantin's words poured like a basin of cold water and instantly extinguished our joy, and he said: "Even if we find a vent, will we let us go down through these pipes?" ”

Yes, now only ventilation and water intakes have been found, which at best proves the underground factory. But the key is the entrance, how can we get in without the entrance! I sat down on the bench again, recalling over and over every word Master Rick had said to me about Master Shaq.

"Speaking of this pull ring, it is also thanks to my old friend, Master Shaq, an engineering expert. He also came up with the idea of the steel factory in the first place. He recently helped me design this ring puller, which makes the bomb much simpler, more practical and safer. ”

At the beginning, he also came up with the idea of a steel factory.

Iron and steel plant.

I commanded again: "Everyone, go and inquire if there are any other steel buildings in Lanfeng City besides Master Rick's fireworks factory!" ”

I analyzed that Master Shaq must have a soft spot for steel. His exit probably has this element as well. He doesn't set up exits in crowded places, and no one has found him for so many days, which means that the exits must not be exposed. Probably inside another building - a building like a fireworks factory!

Let's get moving again. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and after another round of searching, I was told that there was no such thing as a steel factory in the city. The "gun hunting" operation was once again blocked, and everyone was at a loss. Inadvertently, Moseros and I met at the same time in the central plaza, and we informed the rest of our teammates and gathered here. Everyone sat on the lawn by the square, discussing their next steps.

"Oh yes! This Shaq is also too deep! I couldn't find it even if I looked for it. No wonder this is one of the hardest side class tasks! The Magic Flute grumbled.

"That's not it, if you can find it easily, it's still called a mysterious mission!" Aaron also said. There was a stench on his body, and people took a detour from a distance, and even we didn't want to do it with him.

"Don't worry, I'll find it sooner or later." Moses yawned and lay down on the lawn.

And they all lay down in the same way as Moses had done. I can't find it anyway now, so it's better to rest first, look at the blue sky and white clouds flocks of pigeons, and relax.

As we lay in a row on the lawn, each grumbling, the cathedral bells rang.

"When~~~when~~~~when~~~~~when~~~~~" four bells. It's four o'clock.

I looked at the time of the system, four o'clock. This bell is accurate enough, I said casually: "It's not easy to ring the bell, it's so accurate every day." ”

When no one picked me up, the atmosphere was a little wrong. I turned my head and saw Fang Ding looking at me strangely.

"There is no bell ringer in the church, and that bell is the largest mechanical bell in the city, and it can never be wrong."

"A mechanical clock? So dragging? Who made it? Aaron asked curiously.

No one paid any attention to Aaron, and we all jumped.

Damn, do you need to ask? Except for Shaq, the master engineer, who built such a precise large machine!

Without saying a word, we all rushed to the cathedral.

I rushed first with my excellent physical fitness, and made my way through the crowd in the square, startling the flocks of pigeons, and everyone looked at this man in amazement, followed by the members of B.S., and it looked like a group of righteous players were hunting down a criminal.

I made a quick heading north of the city, Church Road, aiming for the Cathedral.

Cathedral, I've been here once, and that's when I turned Ranger. Usually there are no people here at all. There are not many people who are still religious today, and no one is stupid enough to come here to repent. This is where players are at their lrest. It's usually deserted. When we worship, it's all NPCs.

When I arrived, I rushed into the church and came into the courtyard through the back door. There is a tall bell tower there. At the top of the bell tower you can see a huge mechanical clock, the hands of which are clattering. Underneath the bell tower is a thick iron gate.

Excitedly, I pushed open the iron door of the bell tower.

With a "crunch", the door opened.

A spiraling staircase appeared in front of me. I let out a long sigh of relief.

This staircase leads not only to the top of the bell tower.

On the other side of it, it spirals below the ground.

At this time, my team members also arrived. Everyone looked at the spiraling staircase, and everyone laughed heartily.

I waved my hand and said excitedly, "Everyone! We're going to know Shaq! ”

With that, I took the lead and strode up the stairs!
