Dane: They had been walking in the cave for hours, and the more they walked, the more oppressive the atmosphere of the whole group became. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"This ...... Is this still a hole? It was Golobo who asked this. He is also a veteran mercenary and has a lot of experience in taking risks. Although caves are less common in the plains of Hindlaire, he did have some experience of venturing into caves. But he had never encountered a situation like the one in the cave right now.

At first, when they entered the cave, it was only a narrow passage. The more they walked, the more wide the passage became, and there were many forks in the road that they didn't know where they led, and until now, they couldn't see the surrounding walls.

No one had ever seen a cave like this, and they had not known anything but to go down and south until they had been walking until they had been walking. Even, they have a feeling: this is no longer a hole, more like a whole underground world!

It was Delin who made this guess. He said, "Didn't we strayed into the Dark Realm? In case there's another dark elf or something like that......"

To be honest, it's not just him who thinks so, Dane has even made such speculations. For no other reason, the environment they are facing now is too much like the legendary Dark Regions.

Legend has it that beneath the world of Orodic, there is also a huge world. In that huge world, it is also full of all kinds of creatures, and there are also corresponding underground races, such as drow elves, gray dwarves, cavemen, black goblins, mind flayers, psychic monsters, and so on.

I've never heard of a monster like the Faceless in the Dark Realm, but who knows that the mysterious Dark Realm is so big?

Eventually, though, Dane dismissed the idea: "Across the sea!" We're alone now, so it's impossible to enter the dark region, right? ”

He wasn't sure about his guess, and he could only hope it wasn't.

……

The next day.

Actually, Dane and they weren't sure if it had really been a whole day. In the dark underworld, who knows that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west? The way they could measure time, apart from feeling, was the connection between the two barks of Faro and Sacco. Every hour, Sacco would write something on the bark, and Faro would reply. In this way, Dane and the others finally have some concept of time.

Over the course of a day, their exploration of the underworld did not yield much results. Aside from the occasional scattered Faceless, they hadn't found anything new—until now he had discovered the place in front of him.

He carefully observed the two marks at his feet, and his face was very unsightly.

"What are you looking at?" Faro asked with some curiosity.

Dane didn't answer, but Delin, who was next to him, gave an answer: "He's looking at the marks left by people passing through here." ”

Delin is a ranger, he has some skills in tracking and judging traces, and he certainly knows what Dane is doing. In fact, after seeing these traces, Delin himself had a rough answer in his heart, but he was not sure.

Dane stood up and said, "It's a two-wheeled vehicle, and there are quite a few of them, and they're loaded. ”

Delin said: "I think the same way, and besides, the people who transport these two-wheeled vehicles should be the faceless ones, and the traces left by their footsteps are very similar, and the depth of the traces is also commensurate with their weight. ”

Golobo was said in a fog: "What are you two talking about?" ”

Lanstrrow translated for him, "Dane and Delin mean that a convoy of Faceless Beings passed by not long ago. ”

Faro also understood: "Moreover, there are many two-wheeled vehicles, loads, and people...... These monsters are really not what I expected, they are civilized. Here, it is possible that there is an underground city of faceless people, or even more than that, otherwise the existence of such traces that look very much like convoys cannot be explained. ”

Dane gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, this is just a guess. If there is an Underground City of the Faceless, it must be our future enemy. We've got to get to the bottom of the situation, and I'm going to follow the trail and go over and scout and see what the hell is going on, what do you think? ”

"Listen to you." There was no opinion.

Dane and Delin, who are quite skilled in trace detection, led the team in front, a group of nearly twenty people, and marched along the traces they found. Knowing that there were likely to be a large number of enemies ahead, the vigilance of everyone was also raised to the highest level.

In between, they've also encountered some Faceless Ones. However, they did not rush to attack, generally speaking, they can quietly dodge the past and dodge the past, and if they really can't dodge and have to do it, they will also choose to solve the battle in the fastest and most covert way.

As they followed the trail for about a day, they found the target that had left the trail: a convoy as they had suspected.

About thirty faceless beings, riding a black, boar-like, fangless beast, dragged a two-wheeled cart. The contents of the two-wheeled cart were not very clear to them because they were a little far away.

Golobo asked, "Boss, what are we going to do now?" Do you want to go up and do them? ”

Dane thought about it for a moment and said, "Don't do it for the time being, go along and have a look, I want to know what they are transporting and where they are going to transport it." ”

After making a decision, Dane led the people and walked behind the convoy for almost a day, and finally reached the destination. And it was at this time that they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.

"Oh my god...... It's an underground city! Delin muttered, his eyes full of disbelief.

What appeared in front of them was indeed an underground city. Far away, everyone saw the parapet wall on the perimeter of this towering city.

It was indeed a real city wall, a wall made of black stone, higher than the capital city of Lessom of Hindlaire that Dane had ever seen, at least ten meters taller. At the top of the city, from the 'ceiling' of the underground world, there are many huge rocks that hang upside down like stalactites, and there are buildings of different styles. In the very heart of the city, a majestic palace stands proudly like a city within a city.

The whole city looks very prosperous, with small convoys coming in and out of the gates. In just the short time that Dane and the others observed outside the city, there were already hundreds of faceless people entering and leaving the city gate!

――――――――――

The first question was discussed in the previous chapter, and the second is discussed in this chapter.

Regarding the setting of devouring the traverser at the beginning, I really didn't think of the heart of the castle at first, and someone in the book review area suddenly realized that it was only after someone in the book review area that I suddenly realized -, the heart of the castle was indeed written in front of me (and much earlier!). ）。 However, the difference between my style and Shen Duxing is quite obvious, whether it is the text, the story, the plot, the setting...... All aspects are very different, but there will be a place to pay tribute to the heart of the castle in the book, after all, it was my great love back then, it depends on whether the old drivers can see it!

In addition, it is highly recommended to be a solo work, "The Heart of the Castle"! Although the style is different from my book, it's a little worse than what I wrote (I'm so stinky and shameless, and he is reluctant to hit me anyway, after all, we don't insist on writing this kind of work anymore, and we still have manual funny expressions) But it's definitely a good book, a Western fantasy-style knight lord text, with a heroic invincible base, it's quite comfortable to look at, Lao Bai must read!
