The next morning, after having all the necessary supplies at the market and saying goodbye to Atres and his wife, Flotra and I were about to embark on the journey back to Xueman. But just before we could finish the last step of going out of town to buy horses, another accident happened.

"Hi sir, hello, may I ask ......" I stopped the citizens in front of me and asked him, "why do you have to queue up to get out of the city?" ”

"Don't you know the way?" The citizens in front of me turned their heads to me with suspicion, "The escape of the prisoners from Hidana Prison a few days ago caused a riot of a terrible nature, and in order to prevent suspicious people from committing evil acts against our city again, everyone who enters and leaves the city must now be strictly vetted. ”

"Censorship what? Proof of identity? I pulled out the ID I had forged from Mednachie and shook it in front of him, "I have this." ”

"Hmph, this thing is not enough to prove his innocence at a sensitive moment, and it is easy for someone with a certain amount of power to forge a fake certificate. Now the guards have moved all the original documents from the household registration department to the city gates, and will check all the identification documents against the corresponding ones. ”

"Uh...... Is it necessary? In my opinion, this will bring even greater dangers, and if there is a renegade who suddenly attacks when the crowd is crowded, it will really make a big news. ”

"Hey......" the citizen sighed, but there was a hint of happiness in his tone, "This is also something that can't be helped, the heads of the Silver Blood Family have all died in the riot." These guards also received a death order from above, and they had to find out something. ”

"Okay...... Thank you very much. ”

As for the forged identification certificate I had in my hand, the registrar of Ruichi certainly did not have its original copy left. In other words, when I take out my identification and go through the inspection, the registrar will not be able to find the original documents corresponding to it, and my suspicious identity will be completely exposed. This is the cusp of the storm, and I'm afraid that what awaits me will not only be prison.

So I can't get out of town through the main gate of Marcas. But it doesn't matter, I still have a back hand, there is also a tunnel in the Hall of the Dead, although there may be some detours, but being able to get out of the city has already achieved my goal. As for the horses or something, just go out.

……

The gates of the Hall of the Dead inherit the scientific and technological achievements of the dwarves. Although it doesn't take much trouble to get out, there is no good way to break into the door from the outside in without a key. So, while Verulus was not out of the house, I knocked on the door of the Hall of the Dead.

Verulus poked his head out of the hall, accompanied by a faint pungent scent.

"Huh. You are...... Oh. I remember. A fugitive from the night of the Oathbreaker Riot, with a badly wounded and dying little girl, "Verulus quickly recognized my identity. Then he saw Flotra, who was walking with me, and continued, "Congratulations to her that her injuries have healed! ”

"Thank you! It's also thanks to you that you took me in at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to talk about any aftermath if I had been caught by the guards that night," I bowed to Verulus with Florella, and handed over a leg of corbel, which was intended to be used as dry food for the road, "I have come here to thank you. ”

"Then I'll take it politely......," Verulus smiled as he accepted the present, inviting me into the room to sit down for a while.

"By the way, I seem to smell a pungent smell, what is that?"

The aroma of the tea made the smell even more abrupt, and I told Verulus about the strange smell I had smelled.

"Oh, didn't you tell me last time that fumigation with sulfur can remove the rot from under the tomb, and it just so happened that yesterday the first batch of sulfur produced in the Hidana mine after the riots, and I hurriedly forcibly intercepted this batch of supplies from above."

"Uh......" I asked tentatively, "that is, in the tombs below, the fumigation of the sulfur has begun?" ”

Verulus nodded, "Thank you for your suggestion, after that, just clean up the smell of brimstone and retouch some of the crippled remains, and the catacombs of the Hall of the Dead can be reopened to the citizens of Marcas." ”

"That...... Can you take me down and have a look? Maybe I can give you some other advice. ”

"No problem," Verulus said, getting up to leave, "now?" ”

"It's now."

……

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Verulus inserted the key into the iron door, and the door to the catacombs was opened by a small crack. I crouched down and looked in, and the visibility was very low, and I could only see a foggy patch. Before I could see anything, the thick black-and-yellow smoke that overflowed the tomb had already made me dizzy and tearful, and I quickly retracted my head and closed the door again.

"How do you feel about the fumigation?" Verulus asked me.

"Good...... Ahem, it's great, you can't stay in it for a second, let alone a bunch of mushrooms......" I rubbed my eyes, moistened with tears, and took several large breaths of fresh air before relieving myself, "How long are you going to fumigate the tomb with sulfur?" ”

"Well, I forgot to ask you for the exact dosage after hearing about the method from you. So I put the amount in the tomb for two weeks, and I don't know if it is enough. Do you think you need to add some more? ”

"Enough...... Surely enough...... Actually, I think it's almost enough for three days......"

"I'm afraid three days is too short, those fungi may come back, I have to find a way to do it once and for all. Let's go to the mine tomorrow and ask for some sulfur. ”

You're smoking bacon. Two weeks, at least enough for me to run two round trips between Snowman City and Marcas City. Ay...... In the end, he really shot himself in the foot, and he just wanted to help Akai's priest at the beginning, but he dug a pit and let himself jump. Doesn't that mean I'll have to spend two weeks in this boring city?

What to do? The main gate of Marcus City must not be thought about, according to common sense, unless the guards find something important enough to explain to their superiors, it is impossible for them to relax their guard in a short time; On the other hand, the passage of the Catacombs of the Hall of the Dead was temporarily unusable due to the fumigation of the brimstone, and Verulus clearly had no intention of stopping the fumigation for a short time.

If you want to get out of town as soon as possible...... It seems that I can only trouble Atrium again, he has the identity of the chengguan here, I don't know if I can go through the back door through him. (To be continued......)
