Everyone came down the ladder, and there was nothing wrong with anyone except for the slightest accident on Ekou.

"Are you alright?" Marina asked worriedly, seeing Eko rubbing his palms.

"No, it's just that my palms are a little hot. Eko looked a little flattered, probably because he didn't expect this to make Marina care about him, "My body is still quite strong, no problem at all!"

"That's because you're in safe reach. "It's good to be at the bottom of the ladder, otherwise Chris would have been out of luck." ”

Mr. Little Cloak snorted, and although no one could see his expression in the shadows, it seemed that he was not very happy with it, and he just didn't intend to continue.

Eko also knew that his momentary negligence would indeed harm Chris below him, if he had such an accident on the way to climb the ladder halfway up, and then it happened to fall on Chris's head? I'm afraid it's not just him who died, but Chris.

But Ike is not good at apologizing, and Chris doesn't look like someone who gets in a better mood when he hears something like that—and it's hard to say if he's actually in a bad mood because of it.

When Eko and Marina landed, they looked at their surroundings. It was dark, and you couldn't see it a little farther away. But there was air flowing, and the skin exposed to the outside of the clothes seemed to be glued to a clammy snakeskin. The place where they are now will not be a cramped space.

Ekor and Axe light the torches again, and the flames return to their surroundings once more. With the fire, the surroundings can finally be seen more clearly. They were in a passage that was indistinguishable from the passage above the ladder, with recessed walls on either side of the circular passageway, and if there was any difference, it was probably darker here, and the surrounding area was more deserted than above. If it's a ruined place, it's probably a ruin.

Deeper underground, the temperature drops, and the air is humid and uncomfortable. Eko glanced at the short axe, which was naked, and touched his clothes. He actually cares a little bit about whether the short axe is cold or not, but if he says this kind of thing, it will only provoke this guy to laugh at himself fiercely.

But someone fulfilled Ekou's wish.

Luluna was beside Shortaxe, staring at Shortaxe for a few moments until Shortaxe realized that Luunaka was looking at her. "Is there anything wrong with you?" asked the Shortaxe.

Lulunaka blinked, "Aren't you cold?" After saying this, Lulunaka shrank with her hands on her chest, as if she was cold.

Shortaxe probably didn't expect Lulunaka to ask such a question, so he was stunned for a moment, and then looked down at his body. He really didn't have any clothes on his upper body, except for a shoulder pad with a belt attached to his pants. There is no protection, it is very cool to dress, like a barbarian. "The temperature doesn't make me feel uncomfortable. Hatchet replied, but didn't seem to be about to continue, "Alright, watch your feet, don't step on something strange and fall." The hatchet pointed behind them, "And don't go that way, you'll fall." ”

Marina turned her head, and the direction of the axe was also the passage, but she could hear the faint sound of the wind coming from beneath her feet. Marina thinks that her ears are still sensitive, and she can't miss this sound. "The hole down there, too?"

"Yes, but I'm not going down. "There are no wooden ladders in that place, and if you want to go down, you have to prepare a rope that is strong and long enough." I've heard that the hole over there is deeper, and it will take longer to go down. ”

Marina looked at Ekor, who understood and walked ahead with a torch, Marina following him and Lulunaka following her.

The two of them came to the place pointed by the dastard, which was also a fractured edge area, only this time they couldn't see if there was the same passage on the other side, maybe the area of the collapse here was larger, so big that they couldn't see the other side.

"What's down there?" Marina asked Shortaxe as she turned back to Shortaxe, and by this time Chris had gone in the other direction, exploring the way ahead.

"Deep water. The short axe replied, "It's shallow water above, and even the little girl can walk around." Speaking of which, he looked at Luluna as well, "Now where we are in the middle of the floor. Compared to the above, there are more things to be obtained here, and there are many places that have not yet been explored, and people who want to pan for gold and fortune will come to this area. However, the greater the gain, the higher the risk, and the small fangs in the shallow water are just a small trial, and in this middle place, it is not a test at all. Only the place we are in is barely safe, because there are so many people passing through that they have almost cleared the vicinity of dangerous things. ”

Glancing at the pitch-black edge, Axe said, "But in the deep waters, I've never heard of anyone down there, or of someone coming back alive. Hatchet paused, and continued, "Don't ask me what's down there, I'm only familiar with most of the middle level, and I don't know anything about the places below. ”

That's when Lulunaka said, "I've heard about deep water. I've heard that there is indeed a place full of water down there, and that there is a lake about the size of the King's Castle. The lake was full of rare things, glowing moss everywhere, and it was only the least rare existence. But it is also inhabited by the most dangerous creatures. ”

"That's all the drunks in the tavern bragging. Shortaxe just sneered at Lulunaka's words, not taking it seriously at all, "I've also heard some drunken guys brag about the fact that there is actually a secret space under the altar of the cathedral, where the most important secret of the Double Eagle Empire is hidden, and only the most important people of the royal family can enter, and if others enter, they can only become dead people." ”

Lulunaka became a little excited like a child hearing a story, "Maybe that's true, and the route we're traveling and where we're going may be almost below the cathedral...... Isn't it inconceivable to say that there is a space above us that no one else has ever reached, and that there are treasures from the Twin Eagle Empire?"

Lulunaka's words were so whimsical that even Marina laughed, "That's a really funny statement." ”

"I've never heard of this kind of thing...... "Eko touched his chin and looked thoughtful, "Most of the things about royalty and nobility are scandals like illegitimate children, and if there are any royal secrets, it's not something that the people of this city care about anymore." That kind of thing has become an everyday thing that is not even a talking point. "Ek's family is wealthy, and he seems to know a lot about it, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of going into details, and this place is not suitable now.

Hatchet coughed a few times and continued: "If you are looking for death, just jump here into the deep water, whether it is a fall or some other way to die, you will definitely not be able to come up alive anyway." As for the content of the employment, I will only take you to places like the middle level, and they have to be in the safe areas that I designate, and if you go deeper, it is up to you. ”
