Chapter 69: The Lost Trench

"Is it your father or your brother who sent you here? Or is it a lover? ”

Camila stood across from Yi and watched as Yi wiped the dusty books clean and put them back on the shelves. This girl, who doesn't like to talk too much, seems to be extra gentle with books.

Yi stopped wiping the book and looked down in thought for a long time before she raised her head and smiled at Camilla.

She could feel that this ugly woman had no ill will towards her, and she had saved herself from a lot of trouble.

"I haven't figured it out yet."

The black eyes looked at Camilla, faintly showing a pale blue luster.

If she hadn't examined the girl thoroughly, Camilla might have thought that she really had blue eyes, not black.

Camilla read the confusion in Yi's eyes.

She understood.

Who hasn't been confused when they're young? Family, friendship, or love, how many people have never really been able to distinguish it in their lives.

"Here are some lists of books that were lent out by the nasty fellows in town and failed to return in time. Find a time to ask, if they can't hand over the book in its entirety, let them hand over enough gold coins at the price of one gold coin per page! ”

Camilla placed a detailed list of books in front of Yi, and after a few more words, she turned and walked to the third floor of the library.

Yi carefully picked up the list and began to wipe down the books again. She'd already wiped down all the books in the library these days, and she had time to go out.

From the first day Yi moved in, Camilla had set aside enough time for Yi to read, which is why Yi always smiled at Camilla, who had a cold face.

In this age of cannibalism, no one is obligated to take care of others, and no one has the right to be cared for by others.

But the head of the Cardivan transport convoy, the young transport officer who aspired to be a real man, felt obligated to introduce Lowe to the garrison commander of the Lost Trench.

Although the Lost Trench is a subordinate city of the Marquis of Begu along with the castle of Yusai, the Lost Trench is not a city in the true sense of the word, as its name suggests, it is an extremely large ditch.

It was supposed to exist in the depths of the ocean, but it ended up like a lost child, appearing at the junction of the wilderness and the ice field, and after being occupied by the Marquis, it was finally named the Lost Trench.

The mysterious Lost Trench is home to the Marquis Begu's Black-Armored Legion, each of which can unleash endless blood and suffocating fear in the wilderness, even though there are less than a thousand of them, but each of them is on par with the Cardiven Family's Iron Wolf Rider.

Camilla, the butcher of the Ice Plains, was once a second lieutenant in the Black Armor Legion.

The leader of a garrison in charge of receiving supplies was the Lost Trench. And the one who met Luo was an old man who hurried from the Marquis's mansion, followed the Marquis's attendants for decades, and unlocked the master of nineteen pairs of genetic sequences, Mars Begu.

Mars was not a member of the Begu family, but a servant who had been given the noble surname of the Begu family by the Marquis. In the eyes of the Marquis, Mars was clearly more trustworthy than the other clansmen who were related by blood.

So, after a rare brief call between His Excellency Heidi of the Cardivan family and the Marquis, Mars traveled from the Marquis's mansion to the remote Lost Trench overnight.

Mars was an out-and-out male master, but Clowe always felt that this humble old man was a little weird.

The long, wavy hair in the middle, the pale lavender purple eye makeup, the high stand collar, the thin waist, and the delicate reverse pleats on the shirt, cuffs and even the skirt made Lolo a little uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the craggy Adam's apple, Luo would definitely regard the old man in front of him with dark gold lace as a woman.

"I am the Marquis's attendant, Mars Begu, to retrieve the gift that His Excellency Heidi has entrusted to you to the Marquis, and to bring you the Marquis's honorarium, honored guest."

Mars respectfully handed a dark gold card to Lowe.

The card, which closely resembled the color of the clothing he had wrapped himself tightly in, had a blood-like "BG" pattern on it that reminded Luo of the Begu family crest on the flagpole of the H913 gathering place.

"This is a gift from the Marquis, and it contains a quota of gold coins that you are satisfied with, and you can cash it at any time in any city under the Marquis's rule."

Lowe didn't trust Mars, who was dressed strangely, but he still trusted Heidi. Heidi had said that the Marquis would pay him enough to stay in Nirvana until the day he picked her up.

Although he was still unsure when he would pick him up, he was sure that Heidi would not lie to him about the gold, at least not until she had thoroughly studied herself.

But Lowe did not immediately give Mars the idea of handing over what was in his bosom.

Luo's black pupils flickered rapidly, calculating the Marquis's bottom line.

The old man in front of him should have a high enough authority. Although his attitude was always courteous, the captain of the garrison in the Lost Trench always stood more humbly behind the old man.

"I need to go into the trench to get some samples of the mutated genes, I need a lot of gold, and I'm not sure if the marquis will pay me enough to pay off my debts."

On the premise of ensuring safety, maximizing benefits as much as possible has always been Luo's style.

He didn't think that his request would touch the Marquis's bottom line, and the transport officer had told him that some members of the Begu family had permission to enter the trench.

In fact, this did not touch the Marquis's bottom line, and Mars did not even hesitate in the slightest to agree to Luo's request.

"You can enter the Lost Trench at any time, and it's just a small way for the Marquis to show you kindness."

As everyone knows, the small way that Mars said is a gift that is extremely difficult for even the Begu family to obtain.

Lowe eventually handed Mars what Heidi had brought with him, but he didn't open the small metal box or feel the slightest radiation in the metal.

Something, seen, and unseen, are definitely two very different endings.

Before Mars left the Marquis's mansion, the Marquis had ordered that if the gift was opened, the entire convoy of people would be killed, including Lowe.

Lowe was lucky, because he was always prepared to avoid the Marquis's bottom line.

Low's purpose in entering the Lost Trench is to hunt enough high-level mutated creatures in the Lost Trench and exchange their mutated tissue specimens for a large amount of gold coins.

Yi has grown up, and she needs a few clothes that fit her, and Panis's slightly revealing clothes, Lo doesn't think they are suitable for Yi.

And Heyman, who was also blessed by the Marquis and allowed to enter the Lost Trench, did not seem to need gold as much as Luo. The purpose of his entry here was not supposed to be for the trial, otherwise he would not have been able to come with two dependents. A trial with a dependent person guarding you loses its true meaning.

In other words, didn't just come for the trial.

To's surprise, in addition to the three people on his side, there were other people who were also going to enter the Lost Trench.

had seen Lowe in the wilderness, but he had never seen Lowe's face, not even during the hunt at the abandoned nuclear power plant.

He remembered the black pupils, remembered the man of the wilderness who was as tenacious as a cockroach, and it was precisely because of this preconceived notion that he did not associate the calm man in front of him in the uniform of a Cardivan family soldier, with black eyes and black hair, with the boy of the wilderness.

There are not many people with black eyes and black hair in this era, but there are definitely a lot of them, and there are very few people who can get the marquis's gift to enter here.

It is impossible for the lowly wild cockroach to receive such a gift.

Although the Lost Trench is also located in the wilderness, unlike the grayish-white skin of the wilderness, the ground of the trench is covered with a reddish-brown clay, and there are wormholes of various sizes on top of the soft clay.

At the entrance to the narrow trench, two savages, one high and one low, were waiting impatiently. They are less than a meter in size, small in size, covered in blue-brown skin, with a large head and long, pointed ears.

"Hand over the two Candidate Sacrifice Beasts and get out of the way!"

The soldier, wrapped in heavy black and gold armor, spoke coldly to the wild man crouching at the entrance, and then stood sideways.

The two wildlings on the other side grunted as if complaining about something, and the larger one even turned around and bent down towards the armored soldier, pouting his ass and facing each other, writhing from side to side.

The soldiers didn't even glance at this cross-racial taunt, and still stood like statues.
