Chapter 655: Gossip (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
Those snake people never thought that Solam would unload the mill and kill the donkey so quickly, and they also thought that they could wait until the place was slamming Solam, so that they could never leave here.
It's a pity that this thought of them has completely turned into delusion under Edward's sharp blade.
Soram looked at the snake man who was twitching on the ground, sneered and said, "Let's go, the destination is not far away." When we enter the next level, Durham, you and Harris will be there to pick us up with Kogan and Muffron, so don't follow us on, it's too dangerous to take care of you at that time. ”
Durham and Harris have no problem with this, only Kogan is very dissatisfied, in his opinion, the next encounter is the main thing, although the undead are not as "cute" as other intelligent beings, but if there are enough of them, it must be interesting to chop.
In fact, the reason why Soram didn't want to take him was because of this, this guy was too noisy, and if he did, he didn't know what would happen. So it's better not to take him at all.
After that, there was no danger along the way, even if you encountered some undead, they were all low-level goods, as long as you were careful to kill them in advance, there would be no problem. But when you wait for the next floor, the atmosphere changes completely.
The undead who I thought were everywhere did not appear, but on the contrary, the silence was a little scary.
"What's going on? What about the undead? "Solam, they walked for almost ten minutes, and as a result, not to mention the undead, they didn't even see a skeleton, and the passage below was simply too clean, and there was nothing at all, except that darkness was darkness.
"I don't know, are all the undead already in the upper sewers? No, if that were the case, we wouldn't have run into it. "Not to mention that Soram didn't expect this situation, but Edward didn't expect it. You know, Edward was ready for a fierce battle before.
"I have a bad feeling that this time the trouble seems to be very big." Somehow, Solam suddenly felt a chill hit his heart, and it was the feeling of disaster coming to him anyway.
"Well, I feel that way too." In fact, not only Solam, but even Edward felt this way, because everything in front of him was so weird.
But no matter what, it's all here, and it's impossible to really go back directly for this feeling, which is too cowardly, and it is completely inconsistent with Solam's principles of doing things, so the group can only continue to move forward. 、
"I said, how can you Ascatra tolerate so many things under your ground, if nothing else, that snake tribe is already very exaggerated, they have lived here for thousands of years, and there are still four multi-headed snake lizards under their hands before, if they break out of the ground, the whole city must pay a great price. How can your council and your temple turn a blind eye? Also, don't you shadow thieves often operate in the sewers? You don't report it either? ”
On the way, Soram felt that their current atmosphere was very bad, so he took the lead in breaking the deadlock and began to have nothing to say.
When Edward heard this, he pursed his lips and said, "It's none of our business. Besides, how do you know that our shadow thief hasn't reported it? In fact, there is a snake tribe in the sewers, and we shadow thieves have reported it a long time ago. But the council doesn't care at all, as for the temple, hehe, we don't have much to do with the temple. ”
The Shadow Thieves really don't have much friendship with other temples, and the only Shadow Church that has a close relationship with them has no interest in this kind of thing at all, they are evil churches, they don't care about this kind of thing, this situation is the responsibility of those good churches, and it is impossible for the Shadow Church to join in this fun.
"In fact, if the Knights and the Temple could have taken it seriously, they still need to be reminded by our shadow thieves? After so many years, if we wanted to solve it, the problem would have been solved a long time ago, and it would not be our turn to worry about the shadow thief. ”
In fact, the biggest responsible party for this situation is actually Am's council, if they really care, they can completely let the temple solve the sewer problem, not to mention that they can completely clean the sewer, but at least, they will not let the sewer become like this, completely become a huge monster captive factory. 、
According to Am's law, everything in Amm is controlled by the council, and other places are fine, but Ascalla strictly enforces this law, you know, even the church needs to report to the council in advance when it goes out to give alms, otherwise it is illegal.
Anyway, like other aristocratic classes on the mainland, the Amm Council was always afraid, the church had too much prestige among the people, but in Askatra, the Amm Council was even more strict.
So even if the churches offered to clean up the sewers, the Amese Council would not allow it, because it would bring a lot of prestige to the church. Because that was originally the responsibility of the council, and the church was so active, of course the council would not agree.
And the council itself does it have the mood and financial resources to clean up the sewers, after all, in the past, the sewer monsters have always been honest, and there are only dozens of cases of sewer monsters attacking people in a year. In a big city with millions of dollars, there are only a few dozen monsters hurting people a year, which is not a problem at all, that is, there are more than this number of traffic accidents every year, so the parliament does not take these things to heart at all.
So since then, there have been more and more monsters in the sewers, and the more monsters there are, the higher the cost of cleaning up, so the council is even more reluctant to worry about these, anyway, thousands of years have passed, and I haven't seen anything.
It was only now that things were out of control and the parliament was ducked off the shelves. Otherwise, the sewer is still neglected. 、
"To be honest, it's a miracle that your country has been able to hold up until now." Soram sighed. That's right, this is really Solam's real thoughts, don't look at the Amm Council seems to balance the interests of all parties, and it seems reasonable to leave professional things to professional people.
But did they really appease all sides? At least from what Soram has heard and seen these days, it is certain that the Amam Council is not at all satisfied, and on the contrary, it is dissatisfied.
The Masked Mage's Guild was already dissatisfied with its embarrassing position, let alone the Shadow Thief, as evidenced by Edward's presence here. The aristocracy was even more conflicted, and the people did not support the parliament very much.
In this case, Am's council can still support it, isn't it a miracle?
