021. [Stardew Valley] The sewers of Pelican Town
The community center is even more dilapidated than before. Several charred corpses lay in the doorway, indicating that there had been a battle here. It is not known what they were burned to. The flames are as if they erupt from within. The man was burned black, but his clothes were intact.
"The flames of Junimot," said the dwarves, "they are the spirits of the forest, and naturally hate all creatures of darkness. These people have been polluted by the Shadow Maniacs' Void Black Blood, which is why they will be attacked. ”
The two walked into the community center, took a turn, and found nothing.
"Junimos should have left," said the dwarf, "they hate the Void Demons so much that they will definitely move." ”
Nan Xiao stood at the door of a room and beckoned to the dwarf: "Come and see here, hurry up!" ”
"What's there to see," muttered the dwarf, "there's no way they're still here...... God, it is! ”
In the basement where Nan Xiao found the scroll before, a turquoise fire was lying quietly on the ground, already very faint.
"Survivor!"
The dwarf ran over in three steps and two steps, and said a few words loudly in his mouth that Nan Xiao couldn't understand, and his hands lit up. He reached out and picked up the turquoise fire, allowing the light and fire to merge. The green flame brightened a little, but it was still faint.
"Mayor Lewis enslaves a shadow fanatic servant? Okay, got it......"
The dwarves must have some way of communicating with the green flame. He held it in his hand, staring at it intently, muttering a few words from time to time. Green Flame draws the light from his palm to sustain itself. The price must be not small. Nan Xiao clearly saw that the dwarf's hands had become old, and clusters of aging black spots appeared.
Poof, the green flame finally shone and went out.
The dwarf watched sadly as the green flames dissipated, and said, "Mayor Lewis led a group of people tainted by black blood into the community center, and Junimo was killed in battle. The guy named Lewis was powerful...... No, he can't be counted as a human anymore, but a half-human, half-void demon. ”
Are they all killed in battle, and sure enough, it's still a step too late.
The dwarf said, "She begged us to save its offspring, an unhatched Juni egg." If tainted by the shadow blood of the shadow fanatics, the forest elves will turn into very terrifying Void Archdemons. She would never want her descendants to suffer such a fate. ”
"What if you really become a demon?"
According to the consistent urine nature of this kind of plot, Nan Xiao estimates that something very terrifying will happen.
Sure enough, the dwarf said, "If a newborn Juni demon is contaminated by the blood of the shadows, I think this world will probably perish." Wishing the Demon's flames can burn everything, plus the infinite growth of the Void Demon. Soon the world will not be able to bear it. ”
"Then why don't you stop Mayor Mare's madness?"
Nan Xiao was anxious. If you haven't practiced fishing before the end of the world, won't you be able to return to the main world?
Where is it? How to save? Your old gentleman said yes.
The dwarf shook his head and sighed, "Junimo doesn't know where they went. She was already very weak just now. I gave her some life force, and I barely managed to delay it for a little while. She begged us to save her child. But I don't really know what to do. ”
Void Demons hate sunlight and prefer shady places. They will definitely hide underground, such as in a mine. This is common sense. But Pelican Town is full of sunshine, and there is no place like that.
No, Nan Xiao suddenly remembered that there was indeed a very dark place in the town, and that was the sewer. If there's a place to hide the next monster, it's definitely the sewers.
Speaking of which, Pelican Town's sewers are really weird. A valley town that specializes in organic farming, the water coming out of the sewers is green, sticky and bubbling. Isn't it weird? Ecological agriculture is like a biohazard. And more than one child has been scared at the sewer exit. It is said that there are terrible things in it, but I can't see it clearly.
Gunther, the museum keeper, the goatee-bearded uncle, always wears a blue cowboy hat. I heard from the children of the town that he had a rusty key that seemed to have been handed down from the time the town was founded. It just so happens that the lock of the sewer is also left over when the town was built, and the two should be a good match.
The entire trench is littered with shredded zombies. Nan Xiao searched for a while, and finally found the blue cowboy hat he was looking for.
Gunther had the key with him. Nan Xiao carefully picked it up. The lawn mower blade scraped off a little bit of the patina on it, but the cogging is intact and it definitely works.
Go to the sewers!
The two of them briskly ran through the deserted Pelican Town, through the cemetery, and straight down the sewers.
Heading south, run out of Pelican Town, across Marnie Ranch and south along the edge of the cider forest.
On the way, I saw the artist Leah's hut, which had burned down to the skeleton. A shattered pottery bear lay in the doorway, its head gone.
Didn't see Leah. The person who was burned to death in the community center before couldn't see his face clearly, maybe one of them was her.
When every minute counts, it's impossible to stop and reminisce about the past.
Nan Xiao followed the dwarf's footsteps and ran all the way to the mouth of the sewer, and had to show him the way along the way.
Really, overestimating his speed and underestimating the dwarf's short legs. This guy runs like a tracked armored car, his calves fly up and down, and when he slips through the smoke, only a back remains. It's an acute one again, and I almost ran wrong several times.
There is a large lock at the mouth of the sewer that is very sturdy. Nan Xiao took out the rusty key and tried to poke it into the keyhole.
It's been a long time since it's been used, and the keyhole is very dry and like a spider's web. He poked it several times before he poked it in. It was also very laborious to turn, and I was afraid of breaking the key, so I had to try to use it gently. Twist a little bit, slide back and forth, and try the best fit position.
…… Good!
With a click, the iron door of the sewer opened.
The smell of fishy smell came to my face, and the green water dripping out of the dark hole was disgusting to look at.
In any case, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den today, you have to break into it. Nan Xiao encouraged himself: If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?
Very quiet in the sewers. Light flows in through the vents and is filtered through the layers of pothos, giving everything a miserable green color. The two of them cautiously walked forward against the cave wall, always keeping an eye out for possible sneak attacks.
The sewers are sturdy, with sturdy beams at intervals, and the diameter is large, more than two meters from the top to the bottom, close to three meters.
That's not to say they can walk easily in their trouser pockets, though.
The first section of the culvert was spacious, but it quickly narrowed inside. And it's all sorts of messy clutter everywhere. Really throw everything down the drain. Galoshes, furniture, and even a bicycle. The surface is crawling with slugs. It's super disgusting to look at those mollusks slowly wriggling in the sewage.
I've never felt so bad in the mines, so I want a gas mask.
Enduring slippery moss and slugs, Nanxiao and the dwarves scurry through the sewers. If you are a normal person, you must be lost, but the dwarf has an amazing instinct and can pick the right fork every time. is worthy of an underground nation, this must be talent.
