379 Underground Ruined City

【Recruitment】Set sail for a new round of recruitment!!!!

"Little man? How do you know there's a little ghoul? The sharp-beaked monkey was stunned.

"Leave it to mind how I know there's a little ghoul, tell me what you know." Wutong asked step by step.

"Alright! All right! ”

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy raised his hands and pushed as if blocking something: "There is indeed a small ghoul, who looks like a child, of course, it could be a dwarf, a halfling, or a skinny dwarf, or a kobold, or a goblin, or some other elven creature, you know, they're all about the same height, and when they become ghouls, they're all so ugly, I can't tell their race."

In this slippery guy's upside-down description, Sycamore was almost certain that the little ghoul he saw was turned into a pea, but according to his description, the little halfling was not killed by the knights who were in charge of clearing the cemetery, and he even saw this guy see a few ghouls a few times, but he was not eaten, which has to be said to be his luck.

"When you have a lot of fragrant grilled steaks to eat, do you eat a piece of stinky salted fish?"

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy said nonchalantly, comparing his body as thin as a ghoul: "I think ghouls should think the same way, those white and fat rich men must have a much better taste when they bite than us poor ghosts like salted fish." ”

Sycamore shuddered at the guy's analogy: "When was the last time you spotted a little ghoul?" Where did you find it again? ”

"Over there!"

The sharp-beaked monkey pointed to a wide clearing not far from the slum, where there was a small pool of water that seemed to be a place for the people of the slum to concentrate their water.

Although the poor and the common people are similar in reading, their living conditions are completely different, and no matter how poor the common people are, they live better than the poor people, which has something to do with their living environment.

Although the construction of public facilities in civilian areas cannot catch up with the rich areas, the self-gushing springs, cold and warm waterways, waste water canals, and underground canals that flow through every household are still guaranteed, unlike slums, which are completely large garbage heaps piled up by illegal buildings such as shacks, and do not expect to have any living facilities, after all, the slums themselves are not built in the residential areas officially designated by Fairhaven, and the poor are not yet eligible to own land in the city.

Following the sharp-billed monkey gills to the pool, Sycamore discovers that it is nothing more than a temporary storage tank of waterless water that has cooled and covered the dust in the warm and cold channels that flow through the entire Fairhaven City.

The lava springs and underground water gushing out of the inner city of Antian, after bypassing the entire Fairhaven in the open waterways, are naturally not very pure, but they do not affect people to use it, and after a short storage in the cistern, they will flow into the underground canals, and finally flow into the Andel River from the ground, flowing mightily into the distance.

The entire slum was built around a reservoir that looked like a small lake, and Wutong saw many poor women washing their clothes in the cistern, bathing dirty children, and even using jugs to get water near the hot and cold waterways for cooking or drinking.

After looking around, Wutong was puzzled for a while, what is the "pea ghoul" running here for? The neighborhood was very empty, and the ground was all flat rocks, and he didn't think that the "pea ghoul" would have a habit of bathing, and when it was "alive", it didn't like to be clean, and it often made itself dirty and dusty, although this had something to do with Pea's profession.

After expressing his doubts, the sharp-beaked monkey grinned: "Maybe it sensed that someone was going to kill it, so it ran into the underground ruined city and hid, right?" ”

"Underground ruined city?" After Wutong was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up, yes! The inability of the knights and priests to completely eradicate the source of the epidemic has something to do with the fact that there are ghouls hiding in the underground ruined city? …,

Fairhaven was not built in a day, according to historical records, Fairhaven existed thousands of years ago, when humans just landed on the Kovarare continent and established the five major human states, but at that time, it was still called [Fair], just a small settlement of fishing and hunting.

With the passage of time, [Fair] gradually expanded from a small settlement that was not even a village, to [village], [village (composed of multiple villages)], [small town], [big town], [small town], [big city], and finally during the [Galifa Empire] period, it became the capital of the [Kingdom of Andele] at that time, and was officially expanded into a [city] level building, until 2,000 years ago, the [Galifa Empire] was re-divided into five kingdoms, and the [Kingdom of Ander] became independent into the [Principality of Ander], and Fairhaven was designated as the [capital], After 2,000 years of wars and countless reconstructions, it has finally formed its current huge scale.

Therefore, it can be said that the current Fairhaven City was built on a large number of old cities and ruins, and those old towns that could not be replanned and renovated were buried by the gradually new towns, and from the current altitude of Fairhaven City, the abandoned cities below the new cities are at least a few hundred meters deep!

If the ghouls burrow into the underground ruined city, then it will be difficult to find them, even if the official mobilizes a lot of manpower and material resources to find a few skinny ghouls in the huge underground ruined city, it is almost an impossible thing.

However, if the ghouls burrow into the underground ruined city, it is not too important to find them or not, because no one knows what terrible and dangerous things are hidden in the underground ruined city, there are ghost stories in the small village, and Fairhaven, which has experienced thousands of years of war, is not a joke.

"That's not right!"

Wutong suddenly remembered and asked suspiciously: "I remember that the information said that in order to build a new city on the basis of the old city, a thousand years ago, the underground ruined city was completely sealed by the archmages of the past generations with arcane arts, and it has been completely buried in the hundreds of feet of rock?" Where did it get in? ”

"Oh~ Venerable Mage Noble Master!"

There was a hint of mockery in the cloudy eyes of the sharp-beaked monkey: "The knowledge in books does not represent the truth!" Do you think that a place as huge as Fairhaven City will have no gaps like the iron heads of knights? It seems that you must have grown up in a very privileged environment, and thought that this world was as beautiful as the heavenly realm in the hymn? The underworld of Fairhaven is darker than you can imagine," he shook his head and shut up.

Sycamore was a little embarrassed by what this guy said, and he really felt a bit like he said, "I have been living in a privileged environment." Taking out a gold coin, Wutong said: "Since you say so, then you must know that there is an entrance to the underground ruined city near here, take me there, this gold coin is yours." ”

Squinted at the glittering gold coin in Wutong's hand, and said lightly: "It seems that you really want to destroy that ghoul gold coin, you don't need it, I have already obtained two gold coins and one silver coin from you, which is enough for me to live a happy life for a long time." If you can get rid of that ghoul, it will also be a good thing for us filthy poor people, maybe those ghouls who are hunted down by the knights will be starved in the underground ruined city, and they can't find the fat and tender rich man to eat, and they will also run out to eat some salted fish like me, come with me! ”

Saying that, he turned around and walked to a corner of the cistern with Wutong and Lingyue Frost and Snow, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly said in a very flat voice: "If you can find it, Master Mage, kill it!" ”

Wutong looked at his emaciated back and messy hair, a little puzzled, and walked towards the cistern, he said without looking back: "Among the few unlucky ghosts who were bitten to death, there are my wives and children, rest assured, they will not become ghouls, because I burned them to ashes and sprinkled them in the pool, maybe they can be sent to a happy place by the water of the Andel River."

Wutong and Lingyue Frost and Snow they, suddenly didn't know what to say for a while, the "aborigines" of "Endless" are too real "Nothing" to actualize, which is sometimes difficult to accept, a natives who don't ask him, maybe he doesn't even have a name, can actually derive such a sensational plot, making Lingyue Frost and Snow and Xiaoxiao begin to fog their eyes overflowing with emotion. …,

"Do you have a fire?"

They walked to the corner of the huge cistern, climbed down several huge steps, and in front of a pile of rubble that had collapsed due to disrepair, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks worked hard to pick up the pile of rubble, and lifted a huge stone with difficulty, panting and saying: "There was originally a crack leading to the underground ruined city here, which was blocked by me, and it was very dark inside, and if you didn't bring a torch, you couldn't see anything."

The huge stone was too heavy for the thin, almost skeletal sharp-beaked monkey gills, and he didn't know how he moved the boulder to block it here, but Wutong saw how hard he was moving, and released a [Mage's Hand], and a light blue arcane energy mimicked into a large transparent hand, easily grabbed the stone and threw it to the side.

The Tier 0 spell [Mage's Hand], which can only pick up 5-pound objects per level, is enough to grab hundreds of pounds of weight after being blessed by Sycamore's current state.

When the boulder was removed, a long and narrow gap was revealed, no more than two feet high and no more than a foot wide, and it was impossible for a burly adult to get into it!

"Well, it's good that you don't look as fat as the other rich guys, and these two little priests are also very slender, but are you sure you and the two little priests are going to be like me, and go through like rats?"

The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks looked at the sycamore, the sycamore itself belongs to the thin people with a small physique, but if you want to get through the stone crack, you still have to lie down, turn your body sideways, and slowly squirm to get in.

Wutong himself doesn't care, but the stone cracks on the steps of this reservoir are very damp and muddy, and it is really a little difficult for them to lie down and drill through the clean Lingyue frost and snow.

The main thing is that in this kind of cave, there is a high probability that there will be rats and cockroaches, which are more terrifying creatures than dragons for girls.

Smiling, Sycamore muttered, four bright balls of light floated up from his fingers, burrowed into the stone cracks, illuminated the dark space inside, and made it look less terrifying, and then Sycamore looked at the sharp-beaked monkey's gills, and chanted a spell, and threw it on the body of the sharp-beaked monkey's gills, in his stunned and panicked screams, he was about the same height as the Sycamore, like a leaky balloon, quickly shrunk down, from the original one hundred and seventy centimeters, Scaled down to a small figure more than eighty centimeters tall!

Tier 1 Transformation Spell: [Human Shrinkage], which can change a person's height and body size to half the original size.

Immediately after, Sycamore took out a pinch of fine gray iron powder that had been ground up, which was a necessary spell material for the release of [Human Shrinkage], although it was very weird, but it was a necessity, compared to this thing was quite normal, and some spells actually used dry goose droppings

After lightly scattering the iron powder into the air, Sycamore snapped his fingers and burned it, turning into a blazing spark, and in the flickering of Mars, he chanted a few more [Human Shrinking Techniques], making Lingyue Frost Snow and Xiaoxiao smaller, and finally himself.

Looking at the people who had become shorter, the sharp-beaked monkey muttered: "It's good to be a mage, you can save money on candles by having a ball of light that can be illuminated, and you can also make yourself smaller so that the food looks a lot!" ”

Wutong couldn't cry or laugh, the spell was not used to save candles, after everyone's size became smaller, the stone crack looked much bigger, just bend down to easily drill through, four balls of light swirled around them, illuminating the space behind the stone crack, here is an abandoned underground canal, in the darkness to both ends of the endless extension, I don't know where to lead.

The width and height of the underground canal were enough for the size of the barbarians to move around here, so Sycamore waved his hand to remove the [Human Shrinking Technique] on everyone's body and returned to their normal size.

"On this side, a mile and a half away, is the underground drainage reservoir that leads to the Andel River, and there are no forks in the road, and I don't think ghouls are too fond of water."

The sharp-beaked monkey pointed in the other direction: "This is the passage to the ruined city, and you need to go through two forks."

As he spoke, he didn't know where he pulled out a two-foot-long wooden stick, held it in his hand, raised his legs and walked forward, Wutong said suspiciously: "Are you going to take us there?" ”…,

The sharp-billed monkey pruned his cheeks: "Or maybe you have some magical spell to show the way?" So you don't need me as a guide? ”

"Aren't you afraid of danger? I mean."

Wutong was surprised by this slick and treacherous-looking guy: "Maybe you will run into a ghoul, and if you are bitten, you will die!" ”

He grinned, showing his not-so-clean teeth, and smiled indifferently, "Since they have bitten my wife and children to death, of course they can bite me to death again so that we can be reunited, right?" Besides, death is far less terrible to poor people like us than a saltwater bean for dinner. ”

As he spoke, he began to walk forward, and a very flat voice echoed in the enclosed space of the underground canal: "Let's go! I didn't bring you for the sake of your two gold coins and one silver coin. Of course, there will be no additional charge to know my occupation? A hairy thief knows more about the underworld than a mage noble lord like you. You'll need me as a guide. ”

Wutong They looked at each other, so they had to follow, it seems that this guy is the key NPC of the mission, the core consciousness god is too rapeflower, and the coincidence of the arranged mission environment is too big, right?

"Uh, what's your name?"

Wutong couldn't help but ask, an NPC with a backstory, it should be worth asking for a name, since you have to cooperate for a while, you can't always call him "sharp-beaked monkey gills." "Although it was only in my heart.

"Name?"

He looked back at Wutong strangely, and said in surprise: "Young Master Master, is this important?" I didn't think the nobles would ask me what a pariah like me was called, but I wonder what I mean by saying that the nobles usually call us by one name: untouchable. Well, you can call me Wood, you're a strangely good aristocrat. ”

He took the sycamore and walked a long way along the underground canal, which was not too dirty, except for some dampness and bad smells, and the ground was covered with a layer of hΓ²uhΓ²u soil, and some plants that could grow without sunlight were covered all over the ground, and a large number of strange little insects and normal rats were scurrying all over the ground.

This also led to the screams of Lingyue Frost and Snow, which did not stop all the way, Xiaoxiao because of the "cartoon vision" privilege of underage players, but was not afraid at all, hugged the little monkey and walked beside Wutong with great interest.

Wutong rubbed his ears, and helplessly turned his head to Lingyue Shuangxue, who was clinging to him, and said, "If you call it that again, I guess it's strange that ghouls can be directly scared to death by you!" You are not afraid of such huge ferocious rats, and you are not afraid of such ugly zombies, why are you afraid of small bugs and rats? ”

Lingyue Shuangxue, who was tightly holding the Saroman snake cloak of the sycamore, was about to get under the cloak, and said embarrassedly: "I can beat the fierce rats, I can't beat these little mice."

Khan, well, these fast-running rats are harder to target than the huge ferocious rats.

After turning a corner, Wood suddenly stopped at the first fork in the road and pointed to the two underground canals that split to the left and right: "One side leads to an abandoned market, and the other leads to an abandoned square, where are you going?" ”。 οΌ‰
