Act 58: The King of the Underworld (9) (Adjustment)

In the darkness of the underworld, the long tunnels were silent, except for the crackling sound of groundwater seeping into the rock formations overhead after the earthquake and then dripping to the ground.

This kind of voice only sounded once in a long time in the deep depths where the fingers could not be seen.

After Metisha drove off a large number of uninvited guests underground, she also had to stop and rest. Although she is a ghost, it does not mean that she is tireless—the active course of the soul fire must constrain the ability of the undead creature to act.

She didn't need light, though, as a faint glow lurked in her pupils in the dark, allowing her to see far away without light.

The silver elf princess didn't sit down, but rested with her spear on the rock wall with one hand, her body covered with fragments of rock leopards, the mutilated corpses scattered far away.

Unlike Brando, she was attacked almost as soon as she entered this level, and she fought her way to get here. After a moment of silence, the silver elf princess asked to the other side of the darkness:

"Is there a lift over here?"

Medisa wasn't alone in the darkness, the only breath was on the other side of the tunnel.

"Yes."

The voice replied.

But Medisa was not reassured, and as soon as she finished speaking, she pressed the spear in her hand and looked warily in the direction from which she came. But as soon as she turned around, a look of joy appeared on her face, and she blurted out:

"Your Excellency."

It was none other than Brandor and Akane.

They raised the illumination crystal in their hands to shoot the light in this direction, and they were not too surprised to see Metisa, they had followed the mark left by the little silver elf princess.

When he first found out that the so-called 'powerful guy' might be Metisa, Brando was not too surprised, there were only a few of them in the underground, either the silver elf princess or Kuran, or Yuta did not have this strength.

But when they saw another person in the illuminated range, they froze for a moment.

"Métisa." Brando asked, "What is this?" ”

When he saw Kuran sitting on the ground without saying a word, he suddenly couldn't turn his brain. This old man, who had been majestic before, was now wolfless, his forehead, face, and blue-gray military uniform were covered with blood, and his gray hair was also messy.

"Mr. Curran is wounded." Medisa replied that the elven princess had wisely stopped and had many words left unspoken. But she knew that Brando must know what she meant.

The old man snorted: "If you become a prisoner, you become a prisoner, what is there to hide." However, this little girl saw that my old bones were still a little useful, and signed a non-aggression agreement with me for the time being. He squinted at Brando, "But she has a lot of respect for you, boy, and it's in your hands that you have the right to decide, 'my lord', say, kill or chop?" ”

He said this verbally, but in his heart he couldn't help but scold this elf girl for being cunning. When the mine collapsed, the first reaction of everyone in the field was to protect themselves first, as if it was an instinct to save their lives, even if they were gold-level existences.

But what Kuran didn't expect was that not everyone in the field was a 'living being'.

The first thing Medisa did when the landslide was not to retreat to safety, but to attack him while the rocks were falling. This is a completely deadly style of play, even if he is as steady as Curlan, he couldn't help but be startled at the time.

However, the battle of the gold level one decided the outcome in an instant, although Curlan's absolute strength far surpassed that of Metisa, but firstly, the exhaustive pursuit of Brando before the first came has consumed sharp energy, and secondly, the ground shook during the landslide and the mountain shook without psychological preparation, and was seriously injured by Metisa's blow.

If it weren't for this little girl dragging him out of the rocks, it is estimated that he would have been suffocated to death in the mining disaster with a dignified golden power.

However, he had to admire Metisa's courage, and in that case, he might not dare to make the same choice. Defeated by the enemy on the battlefield, whatever the reason, Kuran, as a veteran, had nothing to say.

However, he knew that Medisa was just a ghost, and he probably wanted to cry out in his heart that he would regret underestimating the enemy.

Listening to his words, the young man nodded slightly and asked, "Promise?" ”

"The old gentleman promised to take me to you, and to leave here and return to the surface, he knows the terrain well. He knew where there were tunnels, where they connected to the upper floor, where they could be opened without causing a massive collapse," said Metisa, in a still-in-voice—though in Cruz, as if she were naturally speaking an elven aria, "Lord Lord, there is an elevator not far ahead, leading to the main mine passage to the third level, where there are many transport paths leading to the surface, and they should not all be blocked. ”

She smiled slightly: "If it weren't for the old gentleman, I wouldn't have found this place so quickly." ”

Brando knew that she was probably talking about the elevator that Curwen had come down from, and he remembered that the mine was very large, with three wooden tracks.

He nodded and glanced at Kuran, "What are his conditions?" ”

"Let the old gentleman speak for himself."

Curran glanced at Brando again, "Boy, I know what you're up to. Originally, I didn't have much to say as a prisoner, but now you can take over this place as you wish, for as little as a month, as long as three months, and Pallas will not notice anything. ”

He paused: "As for my conditions, it's very simple, I don't want to end up with Grudin. ”

He got it? Brando's heart was slightly shocked.

Fir City *** This matter must not be hidden, but not everyone knows about Grudin's life and death afterwards. As we all know, the Eruin Territory*** is not a big deal, but except for a few unlucky people, I haven't heard of anyone who has been killed in the real power lord***.

Therefore, after Fir City***, most people should guess that Grudin has fled through the guò secret passage. And only a few high-ranking members of the Brando's group really knew that Grudin was too dead to die.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Kuran deeply, if the outside world had already learned of Grudin's death, then the nature of this matter would be completely different. Sir Pallas probably couldn't wait to send his troops at once, and Count Denel probably wouldn't leave Tony Gel more time to 'settle the problem himself'.

If the old fox sensed that this territory was in danger of secession, it was estimated that it would take less than two weeks for the army to crush the territory.

Brando's hope was to rely on the asymmetry of news to buy time, and if Count Denel did not confirm whether Grudining was dead, then he would be inclined to let the unsuccessful son solve the troubles in his own territory.

Because at that time, they were still a group of mobs in the eyes of the other party, and there was nothing to be afraid of mobs in the eyes of the nobles, and there were still many retainers under Grudin, right?

But as soon as Grudin's death, this little *** is tantamount to a rebellion - although he knows that he is indeed engaged in rebellion, even if this rebellion is not intended to *** Eruin, his actions are tantamount to a challenge to the strict rules of the game in the eyes of the nobles.

And his plan, when the Earl of Denel realizes this, it should be at least after the defeat of Sir Mintai and Sir Pallas.

He had at least a month or two before that.

But as if Kuran had read through his thoughts, the old man smiled mysteriously, "You don't have to worry, it's just some rumors outside. But when I see you here, you know in your heart that the people of Fir City are not mobs at all! ”

After saying that, he shook his head slightly: "But I don't know if you are crazy or I am crazy, since the year of the Jean, Eruin has not had a rebellion for nearly a hundred years. ”

Brando nodded.

The year of the Jean was the era of Hesse I, nicknamed the 'King of the Great Road', and the most notorious king in Eruin's history, His Majesty, was also one of the later rulers of the West Fah dynasty - a name derived from the fact that he even privately organized armies to rob all the merchants who passed through Eruin, both domestic and foreign.

He openly declared that all the property on the road belonged to him, and that the merchants who walked on it had to pay him two-thirds of the goods—an act akin to that of the king of the mountain, which annoyed everyone but him. As a result, Hesse I was ousted from the throne after only three years, and he was even the only king in the history of Eruin to die at the hands of an angry populace.

Of course, from the table of His Majesty the king, we can see the situation of the people in the territory of Eruin at that time. It was a dark time in the history of Eruin in addition to this era, and even if it were not for the rise of Madara, the chaos of the current Eruin could be said to be far less than that time.

Because it was also the era of frequent uprisings, *** and rebellions in the history of Eruin, you must know that in Vaughnde's world, it is difficult to see the word uprising in historical documents.

However, perhaps this is the so-called national power and luck, and Madala will eventually rely on Eru to start it, so under the same circumstances, the Corkova dynasty at that time can flourish, but under good conditions, Her Royal Highness Princess Griffiin's reform has failed.

But Brando didn't have time to sigh, and first shook his head: "This condition is too vague, we can naturally coexist peacefully here, but once you leave the underground and reach the surface, how can you ensure that you don't run away to ventilate and report the news?" ”

It was not for nothing that he thought so, if it was a caveman he could still make Tajib swear to their gods, but humans are probably a group of people who have no faith in this world, and although they often talk about Lord Martha, even if they swear to Martha, most of them are not true.

Brando, who is human himself, certainly understands this clearly.

But Kuran spread his hands and said, "The old man is seriously injured when he appears, and he can't run away if he wants to." ”
