Chapter 47: The Underground Lake

The two black-robed men knew how to get there, but Julius and Rei didn't. The two fled one after the other, not even having the courage to turn back. Lei felt the horror inexplicably, and rushed forward without saying a word, regardless of where she ran towards, and Julius couldn't understand her feelings, so he could only believe her and run away with her; Both Pasta and Olga have told him that a mage is a very troublesome and difficult opponent for a person who wields weapons, because instead of fighting you with weapons such as swords and axes, they use all kinds of strange spells to make you burn, freeze you, make you lose your mind, and make you crazy......

Julius couldn't understand what it was like before, but he at least understood a little. The other party doesn't have great power, but he has something that is not inferior to his strength, and that is spells, and it is an invisible blade that doesn't know where it will come from.

After blocking the wind blade just now, Julius's hand was still trembling slightly. Even the trafficker who was pierced through the armpit by his sword at the beginning did not give him such a strong shock. He was certainly stronger now than before, as he and Olga and Pasta had admitted to him—and only Lulunaka had never shown that attitude—but for now, Julius felt that he was too weak to be complacent about the training he had gotten.

The young black-robed man only used a spell to blow away all the confidence he had been brewing a little bit into. He didn't have anything special, the other party could easily fight against him with just a spell, and he thought that he couldn't deal with the young black robe at close - for a mage, it was taboo to be approached by someone with a weapon, and a mage who was not stupid would not let such a situation appear, and a smart mage would prepare all kinds of spells and props to solve such a situation.

Regardless, Julius didn't think he could handle the two of them, he wasn't the reckless and impulsive imp he had been, and the situation didn't allow him to be impulsive - Lei, who didn't have any fighting ability, was right by his side. As long as you can run, then it's best not to go head-to-head, and it's even better if you can escape.

But this place is a completely foreign world to them. The intricate passages, the rooms that didn't know what they were used for, the faint torches hanging here and there, and the white light sources that were constantly moving...... It wasn't a place where he couldn't see his fingers, but Julius felt like he was completely lost in this labyrinth.

"What are we going to do?" Julius shouted at Lei, following closely behind her.

"I don't know, anyway, it's better to run away first than to stay there and be killed!" Lei Tou shouted without looking back, "Those two are definitely not existences that can talk and discuss...... I can smell the blood and the stench on them! I don't want to stay in that place. ”

Julius rarely saw Lei's mood swings so big, although she usually looked relaxed and optimistic, but when she became like this, she didn't care too much about other people's eyes - it looked like she was out of control, but in fact, she was just out of shape, and she could still communicate normally.

"It always feels like they're right behind us!" exclaimed Julius, "isn't that a matter of course, if there were rats in your house, would you just sit there and do nothing? I can't accept that rats are eating or gnawing wood at home—they definitely think so!"

The floating orbs of light still followed them, and seemed to be becoming more and more proficient. Julius tried to sabotage these things, and he did. As he ran, he swung his sword at his side, and the sword split the orb of light that was right next to him, but it seemed pointless - the orb of light dispersed and became smaller, more orbs of light, flying everywhere, and some of them followed.

If he had stopped and taken the time to deal with these things, Julius thought that he would soon be overtaken, and then the black-robed ones had achieved their purpose by releasing these orbs of light to track them. He simply stopped paying attention to the annoying things like flies around him, never looked back, and never stopped half a step.

But running like this is not always a solution, now they are just running around, and the other party does not seem to have the means to follow immediately, although it is safe for the time being, but there will always be a time when they can't run away. "Shall we just run like this?"

"I can't go back to the original road for the time being, and if I run back and want to climb the pipe to leave, I'm just going to let those two guys catch me. Rei gasped and replied, "I feel the smell of wind and moisture here...... If it's a place with water, then there should be a passage up. ”

This is Rei's experience, in a place like the sewer, as long as there is a lot of water, there must be a clear path to where, either to go deeper underground, or to go back closer to the surface.

When Julius heard Lei's words, he thought to himself, is there a way to go deeper underground? This sewer seems a little too big.

The two of them ran for a while, and at last they saw the exit, where there was a breeze flowing in, and there was indeed the sound of water.

Julius and Rei crossed the exit without thinking, and after a short distance, they stopped—not that they couldn't run, but that they had to.

Because in front of them, it seems that there is no way forward.

If the intricate passages and spaces behind them were a room, when they stepped out of the room, what appeared in front of them was not another space of the same size, but a world that was too big to be underground.

A seemingly endless surface of water was beneath their feet, and they stopped because if they went any further, they would have to run into the water.

The water is as calm as a mirror, but it is not really a mirror, because there are always some waves that break the mirror. It looks like a lake, and it's a bit too small to say it's a reservoir. The shore of this lake is a beautiful semicircle, with curved lines that extend into the distance.
