Chapter 136: We Are Just Porters of Manhole Covers
Chapter 136
In the middle of the alley in the middle of the night, Diana and her group were laboriously struggling to board a round object, which did not seem to be easy from their involuntary bent waist.
"I said it's okay to leave it here, right? If you take it from a distance, it will be regarded as stealing a manhole cover, right? β
The suggestion that Laika, who was the main porter, was out of breath would not be taken seriously by the two women, and it could be said that Diana and the others only held on to the heavy round manhole cover slightly so that it would not deviate too much.
Eighty or ninety percent of the weight of the entire manhole cover was pressed on Laika's body.
"Well, that's pretty much it."
The blue kite estimated the position of some manhole covers from the wellhead and nodded, signaling that it could be put down.
"Whewββ! Exhausted! β
After putting down the manhole cover, Laika twisted his waist with both hands like an old man with bad legs.
There is no way to do this, he is more than 1.8 meters tall, and he can only bend down in order to cooperate with the 1.7-meter-1.65 dwarfs.
"I said, why did you go to such great lengths to move the manhole cover here? Wouldn't it be nice to put it aside? β
Laika, who had obviously contributed the most and was not receiving the treatment he deserved, hung his hands on his shoulders and complained to the two planners of tonight's operation.
He already had some doubts about whether listening to Diana's words tonight was the right answer.
"Huh? You stupid bubble! β
The blue kite just gave him a disdainful look, and there was no respect or any respect in that look in his eyes.
It's like looking at an old scalper who is exhausted and crawling on the ground, and the disgust is quite profound.
But Diana, who deceived him, not only contained the same emotion in her eyes, but also said words that kept contemptuous of Laika's IQ.
"It's only been so far, and you have to work so hard, in case the hand owes you a manhole cover in a while, do you still want to come out? Mr. Pig with an inverse ratio to his IQ and appearance? β
Laika is still very confident in his appearance, otherwise he would not have become the cowherd knight in the mouth of the aristocratic ladies.
"Are you right, stupid bubbling knight and his sister?"
Blue Kite glanced at Diana and took off her doll costume.
It should be the fear of getting dirty in the sewer.
"Don't call me a brother or sister to that disgusting worm over there."
Well, Laika's intestines are almost green now, and when he knew that his sister, who looked at him quite unpleasantly, was also in the squad, he naively thought that this was a good opportunity to improve the relationship between the two siblings.
He also had the rare chance of joking with the two of them that someone's name was so stupid that it was bubbling.
God, Laika really didn't know that the stupid bubbling guy in her mouth was the little maid codenamed 233 in front of her.
And since then, it is obvious from Diana's attitude towards him that he has really offended Diana.
"Alas~unfortunately~"
After letting out a hedgehog-like sigh of sadness and tears for those who saw it, Laika took the lead in burrowing into the sewers.
"Hey! Silly to the point of bubbling pig worms! What's next? β
Diana crawled at the mouth of the well and asked about the situation inside.
Although this Laika touched his own scales, he had to admit that he was quite qualified as a coolie.
Without him, Diana could have imagined with her toes that all the dirty work was hers.
Counting on this guy Blue Kite? Impossible.
"No, there's nothing special here except for a bad smell."
Laika didn't have a mask on her face, and he kept scanning around with the flashlight in his hand to make sure there was nothing unusual before the two ladies were careful.
I have to say that knights have a considerable professional advantage in flirting with girls.
If it was an assassin, no matter how shiny knightly armor he wore and performed a knightly salute, he would look so nondescript.
And a true knight, even if he wears a cheap night coat, cannot hide the righteous and high-spirited light on him.
Although this is also useless for Diana and Blue Kite.
"I'll hold it for you."
After descending into the sewers, before Diana could see her surroundings, Blue Kite shoved a notepad and a pen into her arms.
"What is this?"
"Write down the route we have taken, and if we get lost for a while, we will have a reference."
Hey, has it become a matter of course to get lost?
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Ostensibly agreed, and then the notebook and pen were tossed aside by Diana.
Diana pulled out a knife and stuck it to the wall next to her, starting to mark her path along the way.
The sewers in the imperial capital are very large, divided into two circulation systems, one to deal with waste discharge, and one to clean the water and odors, so that the whole city does not smell.
Diana and the others are currently located on the same level where the external circulation is used to remove the smell of clean water, and although the air here still has some peculiar smells, it is still a little small compared to the garbage treatment plant in the slums of Reimstown.
There are some low-energy magic lamps on the main road in the sewers, which are far less bright than those used by normal people, but they are enough to give a glimpse of the current situation.
"It seems...... Doesn't seem to have a problem? β
If you ignore the smell, it's like an artificial canal, and if you don't say how clean the waterway is, you can see the bottom of it.
Well, it's much cleaner than the little pond at the university where Diana once studied. The pond where she used to be in the academy can be said to be truly barren.
"We've only been walking for less than an hour, which is not worth mentioning the whole sewer at all."
The blue kite naturally could hear the retreat in Diana's tone.
After a few contacts, she can be regarded as understanding Diana's personality.
She is generally a person who is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and generally does not participate in things that are not beneficial to her to avoid getting into trouble, but when she is forced to complete something for various reasons, what she can do is far from being as simple as she appears.
Perhaps it was when the princess knew this that she would let her go with her by name.
But......
"I said why don't we stop here today, how about we continue tomorrow? You see, this sewer is so big, it can't be checked in a day. We are familiar with the environment today, and next time we are more prepared to go deeper, right? You tell me? β
At this time, I think about the problem of being lazy, and the blue kite doesn't like it from the bottom of my heart.
