Chapter 115: After the Fact
Chapter 115: After the Fact
I heard him talk about the truth, and I thought he knew, but I didn't expect that he was also full of big words.
"It's the patriarch of a thousand years ago, Minotaur!" Tro said.
"Thousand, thousand?" Brad and the others were even more surprised.
To be honest, it's been a long time for someone to remember.
"Anyway, I'm just like you now, I'm a civilian." I say.
"That's right!" Brad grinned and said jokingly, "It's more admirable than those who think they're superior by the color of their fur, or an ancient nobleman like you!" ”
I also laughed: "No kidding, let's go, let's go back!" ”
Just like that, we walked to the other exit with a smile and a smile.
Brad hadn't forgotten to mark the walls, and the direction they came in, the ground was littered with their hoof prints.
The exit over there turned out to be a dirty, messy basement. There was a lot of moldy grain and rotten vegetables in it. The smell of the whole room was terrible, and it was a mess when people stepped on it......
I thought it was another abandoned basement, but I didn't expect it to be owned by a nezumi greengrocer.
This rat man turned out to be the accomplice of the Weasel thief we caught, to be precise, Neiying.
Outside, it was already dark.
There were quite a few Guardian Warriors, all with torches, more Bloodhoof and militia, and of course, the leading priest.
Tro and Brad reported the following to the priest, and immediately someone ran to tell the priest and Iru over there about them.
"It's time to clean up the foreigners in the city," the priest was a middle-aged man with a kind face, but not as arrogant as the male priest who pointed fingers at us, "Alright, Guardian Warrior brothers, you have worked hard! I'll report to the High Priest and the Lord of the City for the rest of the matter, you guys, it's time to rest......"
We all breathed a sigh of relief and followed the priest out of the nezumen's yard.
Neither the Bloodhoof nor the militia moved. Because then, it's been enough for them to keep busy for a long time. At least tonight, they're probably going to be busy all night.
Out of the courtyard, we were surprised to find that we had reached the other end of Thunder City, and in terms of straight-line distance, it was almost a long way from the barracks to the temple.
The place where we came out was a civilian residential area a few streets away behind the temple.
"Hmm......" Leo suddenly thought for a moment, "It seems that that position corresponds to the ......"
I asked, "What did you find?" ”
Leo smiled mysteriously again: "I'll tell you when I go back, I'm afraid that you will be too surprised and suspicious by them......"
"Pretend to be mysterious......," I said.
When we got back to the temple, we remembered that we hadn't eaten dinner yet.
"Go to the cafeteria!" Brad said, "Oh my God, I'm starving!" ”
More than a dozen of us were hungry, and some of our stomachs let out a "cooing" roar, which caused everyone to laugh.
We walked to the cafeteria in a noisy manner, and met a few fox followers on the way.
They were carrying food in jars, and when they saw us, with a humble smile, they walked around us.
"Huh?" Brad said disapprerovingly, "These little men, it's not that they don't give them food, why do they still have the problem of eating supper?" ”
"People have small bodies and big bellies, what's in your way?" A person next to him said, "People say they are envoys, but they are actually here to ask for help, it seems that life is not easy, shouldn't you eat more when you come to us...... Besides, the food is not your money, what do you feel sorry for? ”
"I'll just say it......" Brad scratched his head.
I looked at the back of the fox man in the distance, and suddenly I had an indescribable feeling.
"Well, what's on mind?" Leo said.
I always felt like I had something critical in mind, but I just couldn't figure out what was wrong.
As soon as I arrived near the cafeteria, the person walking in front suddenly fell silent.
We didn't know what was going on, and we all fell silent.
When I walked in, I found that it was a few priests eating dinner.
At this time, all of us quietly walked to the other side and gathered around two tables.
The handyman quickly brought us food.
Although the food was a little cold, fortunately it was not yet cold, so we ate it quietly and with big eyes.
"Hey......" Leo laughed weirdly again.
"Laughing at what?" I asked.
"This fragile balance, that is, some high priest or something like that, otherwise, sooner or later, something will happen." Leo said, "Forced equality cannot last. ”
I looked at the priests, and they seemed to have something to talk about, but they never spoke.
"At least, they don't dare to say anything unpleasant in public." I say.
"It's better to be sparse than blocked, if you keep holding it like this, you will suffocate it one day......" Leo said.
"You don't have a good word." I said, "Where do all this come from?" ”
"Bet?" Leo said, "As long as the high priest is gone, it is easy for something to happen." ”
"The High Priest is gone?" I was stunned for a moment.
The current high priest heard that he was an old man, which reminded me of my grandfather.
Grandpa's time is running out, and I'm going to make some achievements in the temple as soon as possible, so that grandpa and dad can see it!
Thinking of this, I didn't bother to pay attention to what Leo wanted to express, and said, "Whatever, it's not my turn to worry about it anyway." ”
At this time, there was a group of people who came outside and shouted.
It was the companions who had stayed outside the dry well and the guardian warriors who had been transferred back from other places.
When they saw a few priests, they all quieted down, sat down beside us, and finished their meal in peace.
After a while, Iru and the male priest, and the middle priest also came. They sat down beside the priests, who hurried over and saluted.
We quickly finished eating and left in silence.
Back at the accommodation, everyone's chatterbox was opened.
Someone said: "It's really depressing, it's such a thing!" ”
Some people also said: "It's amazing, there is a labyrinth underground, we don't even know it!" ”
Others said, "Hey, you who have been down, tell us what's going on?" ”
Brad, as one of the most talkative, of course couldn't wait to talk about it: "That labyrinth is not as big as the legend, and there is no danger, it is still gray and broken, and I have to take a shower later!" ”
Soon, everyone's conversation hooked up, and the ten people we went down to, of course, became everyone's focus.
The people in the back also finished eating and came back to join the conversation.
Rarely, more than 30 guardian fighters gathered on the edge of the training ground.
We were chatting happily when Captain Billy lit a torch and arrived with Anta and a few other noble guardians.
We quickly stood up and said hello.
Captain Billy said, "Today's matter, for the time being, don't go outside and talk nonsense, and besides, a few of you who have gone down to the earth, tomorrow morning the priests' court will come and ask you about the specific matter." ”
"Commander, doesn't Bihong need to train either?" Tro asked.
"Bijon went down too?" Captain Billy asked curiously.
"Of course, without him, we would all be lost!" Brad hurriedly said.
"None of you formal members dare go down, let a new one go down?" Captain Billy frowned.
"Well, I took the initiative to go down, Captain!" I raised my hand and said.
"So be it," said Captain Billy, "your training period is not over yet, and you will still have to train when they are done asking." ”
At this time, the totem warrior Ruitan also said: "Commander, tomorrow it is better to arrange a brother who can teach skills, Bihong has reached the level of learning these skills." ”
"Oh? Is it? Captain Billy looked at me in surprise again.
I looked up and looked directly at him.
At this time, Anta behind him also looked at me with a very unhappy look.
I puffed up my chest.
"Several of the masters who can teach are in the north, and they can't be transferred back for the time being," said Captain Billy, "so let's go and discuss with the priests' council, and let the young priests teach, anyway, it's all about the same." ”
Everyone looked at me, and I nodded and said, "Thank you, Captain." ”
Captain Billy also nodded and said, "That's it, you guys rest early, this is not over yet, I'm afraid you will have to assist the priesthood in the investigation at that time!" ”
Everyone replied that they knew.
Captain Billy took Anta and the others away.
Everyone continued to talk, but there was no new information other than what was previously known.
The general story of the matter is that the rat people and a few weasel tribes joined forces to open up a few tunnels, steal everywhere, take advantage of the chaos to hide in the tunnels, and have stolen a lot of goods, as a result, some time ago, I accidentally dug through the avenue of the underground labyrinth, so I was ready to do a big vote and steal something more valuable from the market. As a result, the shopkeeper who was stolen soon discovered the small hidden hole.
Next, the one weasel we smoked out was caught.
There is still the one weasel who died in the fork of the labyrinth.
As for the one who escaped from me, Tro insisted that he was also a weasel, so there was one more number of people than the captured weasel who confessed.
The one who escaped was obviously not a ferret, but I didn't say anything either.
I'm waiting for Leo to tell me who it is.
