Chapter 1005: The City of Roses (4)
When an ailment like this in which the player has no control over the character takes effect, the player will be kicked into a small dark room by the system, and pass the time by playing a mini-game of cards and Tetris until the effect has passed.
For example, coma, confusion, hallucinations, etc., these abnormal states are all like this.
Therefore, when Apple Tea woke up, he didn't know what he had just done, he only felt that his tongue was a little numb, and his mouth was full of wood foam.
But the other three are not blind......
An Yizhi and Red took the opportunity to take a screenshot, waiting for Apple Tea to see that he was holding a tree and licking it...... Well, lover, I guess I even want to die......
In order not to lose this very useful scout, Ann Yizhi and Red felt that they would not tell him for the time being, only Beverly held back a smile, and it was very painful, and she had to pinch her thigh with her hand to barely endure it.
Either way, the area covered in 'Orange Paradise' is never to be entered, unless it is burned with a fire, otherwise it is the same old rule.
Detours.
Originally, I planned to go along the stream, but I made a big circle under the repeated detours, until the sky gradually turned white, and the time gradually pointed to four o'clock in the morning.
Only then did everyone see the lush roses in the distance through the dense rainforest.
They are like ivy-dense crawling all over the distant city walls, and the red and white flowers bloom as recorded in the sources, and do not wither in all seasons.
"Arcane Eye"
An Yizhi felt that it was necessary to investigate the situation in the city in advance, and now there was not much time before sunrise, and it was even more difficult to get in when it was dark, especially since only Beverly had been to the Rose Capital, and the others didn't know anything about the buildings in the city, let alone what was going on in the city now.
The translucent arcane eye flew through the branches under the control of An Yizhi, all the way upward.
This is a very special city, its faΓ§ade is oval-shaped, it looks like a big egg, and the walls are crawling with roses.
Of course, you can also see many Imperial Army guards standing guard on the side of the torch.
The buildings in the city are very delicate and elegant, not at all like what the local natives can build, but Hela once mentioned that the original owner of the city was an ancient elf, and the local natives only later entered the dove to occupy the magpie's nest, and occasionally saw some more glaring repair marks, which is what the locals do.
Continuing to turn the Arcane Eye, Ann Ichi hoped that it would be best to find the entrance to the Ancient Elven Ruins, but he failed, and the Arcane Eye flew around the Rose City and did not find anything similar to the entrance to the ruins.
The only thing I found was that there were about 12 magic mecha parked at the door near the palace, and the square in front of the palace was covered with a huge shed, covering an area of more than 2,000 square meters, and was disturbed by anti-peeping spells, so that the secret eye could not see what was inside.
The Imperial Army directly transferred construction machinery to excavate?
It's possible, but it's even more troublesome to sneak in.
Wave your hand to dissolve the Secret Eye, and if you continue to look at it, you may be discovered, after all, there are many spells in the wizarding world that can peep at a distance, and the empire must be on guard.
An Yizhi turned back and told everyone the information he had gotten, and Beverly said strangely:
"There's a big shed in the square? It's an ordinary square, and it has nothing to do with the ruins of the ancient elves, did the Imperial Army take the wrong medicine? β
"Could it be that because the ruins are under the city, the Imperial Army is digging there?"
Beverly shook her head:
"Impossible, the entrance to the ruins is in the palace, as long as you are not blind, you can see it soon after entering the palace, there is no need to dig in the square, strictly speaking, the entire rose capital is the remains of the ancient elves."
Beverly had been to the City of Roses, and it was not surprising that she knew where the entrance to the ruins of the Ancient Elves was, after all, she had gone to the City of Roses to study the ruins of the Ancient Elves, and she would definitely inquire about it.
It's just that although the Rose Capital didn't want to hide it at all, they didn't allow anyone to go in and explore, and in their eyes, the ruins of the ancient elves were forbidden places that absolutely no one was allowed to enter.
After all, hundreds of years ago, it was still a local indigenous person who lived a tribal life, and it was normal to have some taboos and the like.
However, it is precisely because of this relic that their entire clan has now become slaves of the empire, probably because Huaibi is guilty.
Everyone couldn't figure out what the hell the empire was doing in the square for a while, the guards were particularly strict, stricter than the military camp that An Yizhi had made trouble with not long ago, unless they broke in, they couldn't see what was hidden under the shed.
After discussing it for a while, everyone decided to proceed at the original pace, first find a way to enter the ruins of the ancient elves, take away all the materials that can be taken away, and destroy those who can't be taken away, in short, they can't be left to the empire.
But first, they had to go through a secret passage to enter the city.
The walls are more than twenty meters high, and there are guards patrolling, and the city gates must also be guarded, whether it is by flying or using the old method of digging tunnels, it is impossible to invade such a city, and can only hope for the secret passage mentioned by Beverly.
"Here, this is the secret passage into the city, the Imperial Army should not be able to closely monitor this place, they don't have that many manpower."
Beverly pointed to a round hole and could see some sewage coming out of it......
That's right, it's a sewer!
ββββββββββ
An Yizhi was still a little puzzled, Beverly had only been to the Rose Capital once, and she was an outsider, even if she had a good relationship with the residents, the secret passage leading to the city should not tell her that such an outsider was right.
It turns out that where is the secret passage, it is simply the exit of the sewer!
This was discovered by Beverly while wandering around the Rose City in search of the entrance to the Elder Elven Ruins, which originally had no sewers because they didn't need it.
The Elder Elves rarely excrete, which had to do with the fact that they barely ate and lived on the magical energy that flowed in the air, and the sewers in front of them were excavated after the establishment of the Rose Capital.
Speaking of which, for the sewer, An Yizhi is really difficult to have a good impression.
In addition to the dirty and smelly environment, all sewers are basically not much different from the maze, and the route is called an intricate one, and it is easy to get in and difficult to get out.
However, the team is followed by apple tea, and with him, he will not worry about getting lost in the sewers and being accompanied by feces and urine......
- That's disgusting.
In addition, Beverly is good at magic, and she can also filter toxins and odors, as long as she can bear it visually, it is not so difficult to walk down the sewer.
The exit of the sewer was fenced and a metal fence gate was placed on the side and locked.
However, that kind of lock was not a problem for Apple Tea, he took out his tool and opened it easily in less than three seconds, and everyone followed him in.
The sewers were pitch black, which was even more difficult to see than walking through the rainforest under the cover of night, and even if Beverly had already covered everyone with a group dark vision spell, it was still too far to see.
As a last resort, An Yizhi could only exhale the Dancing Light Technique, using four balls of light to provide basic lighting around the vicinity.
The only positive thing is that there is not a lot of space in the sewers, even the tallest of them does not have to bend down, it is about three meters high, and it is paved with bluestone slabs, as if it has considered letting people in.
Of course, it would be better if there was no dirty water floating in the ditch on the left side plus feces and urine.
None of the people had a road map for the sewers, and there was nothing Beverly could do about it, and only people with official backgrounds could get it.
However, Apple Tea said that it was not a big problem, and that the sewers here had a lot in common with the sewers in many cities, and he had the confidence to sneak into the city quietly through the manhole cover.
As can be seen from the rich experience of apple tea, this product does not need to drill sewers, but needs to drill sewers...... I guess it's not a good thing to come up with.
They were now making their way down the main road, the widest part of the sewer, and were going to go a little deeper before considering a manhole cover exit.
At this time, Apple Tea, who was walking in the front, raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.
"There was movement ahead, like small creatures, but there were a bit of a lot of them, more than thirty of them, and they were lurking in the tunnel ahead...... Watch out! β
As soon as she finished speaking, Appletea turned sideways, and a rough feathered arrow shot out of the darkness, shooting through Appletea's chest towards Beverly.
An pointed half a step forward, and without using any spells, he raised his hand to block.
Two Stance Rings provide the most basic defensive spells, and they are enough to stop this crooked arrow.
At the same time, An Yizhi pointed his finger in the direction of the arrow, and the ball of light of the Dancing Light Technique quickly flew over, illuminating the area.
A row of rudimentary wooden planks could be seen blocking the way, and hiding behind the fortifications was a group of lizards that looked like two-legged lizards, all holding weapons that were so simple that no one picked them up on the ground.
It's kobolds.
These guys only have a challenge level of 5 each, a veritable battle scumbag, and they are timid and afraid, as long as they understand that they are not opponents, they will get out of the way.
"They should be kobolds digging sewers."
Beverly didn't care that she had just been shot by an arrow, and she was a bold and sincere group, and said with great interest:
"I've read in writing that the inhabitants of the Rose City hired a group of kobolds to dig sewers in exchange for tools and food, but I didn't expect them to actually stay here."
Although it is not obvious from the outside, kobolds are indeed very good miners, no worse than dwarves in mining, and their fees are very low, and it is far cheaper to hire kobolds to dig sewers than to hire dwarves.
But there are also some problems.
If kobolds think you're good here, they'll settle under the city, and they'll harass the city's inhabitants through the sewers from time to time......
This is a day dog.
These kobolds aren't a problem for Ann Yizhi, or Apple Tea and Red, and if you pay more attention to Beverly's safety, you can send them away casually, but An Yizhi has an idea.
Perhaps, you can take advantage of these kobolds.
