Chapter 153: Underground City
When Green broke into Linnaeus's cabin with the mansion guards, in the basement, Rosen heard the movement of the alchemy room.
Thanks to his unusually keen hearing, Rosen listened to Green's words in his ears, even though he was separated by a layer of wood.
He stopped writing, put the quill in the inkwell, and began to pack up the sedge manuscript he had written, saying as he did, "Grimm the Wizard has discovered the Chamber of Secrets. This guy is not pure-minded, he wanted to kill you before, and now he comes here, and nine times out of ten, it will be unfavorable to us. You say, 'Shall I kill him?' ”
Lilith shook her head: "No, Green is a very powerful three-star battle mage, very dangerous, he also has a lot of guards with him, we can't fight hard." Hide. ”
"Can't you fight hard?" Rosen squinted at Lilith, he hadn't used a melon bomb until now. In the face of an opponent in a confined environment, as long as a melon, the problem can be completely solved.
At this time, there was already a chaotic sound of footsteps on the wooden floor overhead in the basement, and the conversation between the guard and Green was clearly transmitted, Lilith didn't have time to think about it more, she hurriedly said: "Alchemist, there is a sewer entrance over there, let's quickly retreat from there." ”
After speaking, seeing that Rosen was unhurriedly sorting out the package, she urged: "Alchemist, even if you can win, there is always a risk in the battle. What if something happens? ”
"Don't worry, there will be no accidents." Lawson took out the melon and stared at the wooden board above his head, as long as the wooden board opened a crack, he would control the melon to fly out of the gap and solve all the problems.
The sound of conversation overhead continued, and Green had already found the keyhole to open the basement, and the lock was a thing that could only block ordinary people, and was ineffective against magicians.
Lilith became more and more anxious, struggling to get up: "Quick, don't hesitate, time is running out!" Alchemist, Green is guilty, but he hasn't been convicted yet, and if a person dies, then nothing can be said. Even if you win and succeed in killing Grimm and the guards, it won't bring you any honor, just endless trouble! ”
This was very reasonable, and he succeeded in convincing Rosen. Nilogaard City is not a wilderness, and Green is not an ordinary person, but a three-star magician of the Academy.
He didn't come to Nilogaard to kill people, nor did he make trouble for himself, he had no grudge against Green, and there was no need to kill him.
In the alchemy room overhead, the magician Green was already unlocking, and in a few minutes, the wooden board would be opened.
Time is running out.
Lawson sped up, packed up the package and put it on his back a few times, walked to the edge of the small bed, picked up the thin dress that was placed next to the bed, shook it off a few times, and then put it on Lilith's head.
"It's too late to wear it, let's go first." Lilith is very anxious, in her current state, when she meets the three-star magician Green, she can't escape a dead word.
"Don't move, we still have time."
Lawson forcefully put the skirt around Lilith's neck, then lifted the quilt with one hand, quickly pulled the dress to the end, and then wrapped the quilt around Lilith again, then hugged his hands horizontally and walked briskly towards the sewer entrance.
There were a lot of things pressed on the iron lid of the sewer entrance, there were hundreds of kilograms, which naturally did not make it difficult for Lawson, he activated the alchemy magic, and at the same time kicked with his foot, and with two strokes, he easily kicked these heavy objects to the side.
'Bang~', the iron cover was lifted, and under the lid was a vertical passage with a diameter of seventy or eighty centimeters, and there was a moldy wooden staircase on the wall of the passage.
'Squeak~~'
There was a sound from the entrance plank above the basement, and Green had successfully unlocked it.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Lilith urged softly.
"Don't worry~"
Rosen didn't rush into the passage, he let go of the hand that was holding Lilith, grabbed the belt, took out a special smoke bomb, bit the ring with his mouth, and threw it towards the entrance steps.
"Sneer~~~"
There was a sound of air currents, and a thick white mist suddenly appeared at the entrance of the steps, and under Rosen's control, all of this mist poured out towards the alchemy room on the ground.
"Cough~cough~cough~" A violent cough came down.
"What's that?"
"It's not good, it's poisonous smoke! Hide! Hide! "It's the voice of Grimm, the magician.
Rosen smiled, hugged Lilith tightly with one hand, and methodically climbed down the wooden staircase towards the sewer. After about 3 meters of climbing, the narrow passage turned into a wide underground tunnel.
The tunnel is arch-shaped, 4 meters wide and more than 2 meters high, with a deep tank in the middle, in which black, smelly groundwater flows, and on either side of the tank there are two walkways about half a meter wide.
Lawson took out his flashlight, turned it on, and shone it towards the side of the road, only to see that it was pitch black, and the light could not reach the end.
Several sewer rats were frightened by the light and squeaked, some fled, some were bold, and looked at Lawson and Lilith curiously in place.
Rosen lifted Lilith up a little higher and buried his nose in the quilt to hide the stench of the sewer: "This damn place, I hope the Bishui River doesn't flood too much, or we'll be finished." ”
"Alchemist, was the white mist poisonous just now?" Lilith was still concerned about the White Mist.
Rosen began to walk forward: "It's not poisonous, it's just choking, of course, I also have poisonous fog here, if you didn't let me use it, I might have thrown it out just now." ”
"It's good if it's not poisonous, otherwise it's going to be troublesome." Lilith relieved, she seemed to be afraid that Lawson would be upset, and explained: "Alchemist, the magician Green must die, but he is now a member of the academy and was killed for no reason, and the academy will definitely track him down." When the time comes, we'll all be wanted with bounties, and we'll be approached by countless bounty hunters. ”
Rosen shrugged his shoulders: "Miss Linde, there's no need to explain, I understand." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the mouth of the sewer where the two of them had just come down came from the roar of the magician Green: "Monster, don't you want to escape!" ”
Rosen was startled, and immediately stretched out his hand to grab the meat grinder musket in his hand, but he still felt a little unbelievable in his heart: "In such a ghost place, that magician still dares to chase down?" ”
The sewer was pitch black, there was no light at all, and it was inconvenient to turn your body when you came down the stairs. If Green dares to chase down, and Rosen hides in the shadows to make a sneak attack, that guy's ten lives are not enough.
After killing him, Lawson threw the body into the waterway, and the sewage would naturally wash the body away, and when the time came, people would not talk about Grimm the magician, but only about his stupidity.
Lilith shook her head: "Of course he didn't dare to chase after him, he was just bluffing, he should have said it to the guards around him." ”
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the guard's persuasion voice came from the entrance of the passage, and after a while, the magician Green was persuaded by 'Success', and his angry roar came again: "Monster, one day I will catch you!" Someday I'll burn you to ashes~~~~"
"Well, that's a scene."
Rosen put away the meat grinder musket, picked up the flashlight, and continued to walk towards the depths of the sewer, after walking for a while, he suddenly stopped: "Miss Linde, I am completely lost, do you know how to go?" ”
Lilith shook her head, "I don't know either." However, the underground waterways extend in all directions, and there are many exits, so we can always find a way out by following the direction of the water. ”
"Well, hopefully I'll find an exit soon. I don't want to stay in this place for a moment. The air was so foul that Rosen wanted to plug his nostrils.
After walking forward for about a kilometer, the underground corridor suddenly ended, and a very large underground space appeared in front of it.
The height of this place is more than 10 meters, the width is more than 15 meters, and the walkways on both sides have become very wide, just like the streets on the ground. Above the passage, a delicate and sturdy arched structure is used, and the surrounding walls are all made of blue bricks, which is very flat and more beautiful than the walls on the ground.
Where is this sewer, it's an underground city.
It was the first time for Rosen to go to this kind of place, he was dumbfounded, in the other world where productivity is so backward, he really can't imagine that anyone would spend so much manpower and material resources to build such a magnificent underground project, isn't this a lot of money?
"Miss Linde, when was this place built?" Rosen asked Lilith.
Without thinking about it, Lilith was also at a loss: "I don't know, there is no relevant record in the history books of Nilogaard. ”
Rosen was fascinated when he heard this: "I really didn't expect that the bottom of the Nilogadian people's butts would be empty, and I am afraid to think about it...... Wait, there's footsteps ahead. ”
He immediately turned off the flashlight, flashed sideways, and hid at the Yongdaokou before returning to it.
After a while, a hoarse voice like glass rubbing came from the left side of the corridor: "Hey, man, I'll take you to a nice place." ”
"What's the best place to be?" Another raspy voice like a mouse sounded.
"I happened to find that place, and I don't know how to do it lately, and I'm always dropping fresh corpses. Tsk, I eat every day, I eat every day, I can't eat it, I really can't eat it, so I think of you. Let's go eat together, and eat heartily, so that we don't waste it. ”
