Chapter 106: Explosion and Discovery (Last Chapter Before Launching)
"Could it be that I really awakened the blood of the Canghai Dragon?"
The shadow girl's resolute retreat made Carl lose the feeling of danger in his back, and gradually retreated from his absolutely rational mental state.
However, this time, even he himself was a little skeptical that the bloodline he had awakened was the bloodline of the Canghai Dragon.
The battle instinct that can only be awakened when life is threatened, everything looks so similar to the bloodline of the sea dragon. Now, I'm afraid that even if he tells others that what he has awakened is not the blood of the Canghai Dragon, others will not believe it!
"However, this is not a bad thing, at least if I need to deceive people, I can pretend to be a member of the Xibai royal family outside!"
After thinking about it for a while, Carl still comforted himself like this, after all, it is not the era of the dark millennium, and the Xibai Kingdom, the only remaining descendant of the ancient magic empire, has already eased relations with the church, coupled with the frequent marriages between nobles, the Canghai Dragon bloodline is also one of the seven crown bloodlines recognized by the mainland, and it is recognized by the aristocratic system, so it will not be branded as a heresy as soon as it comes up, just like those dark bloodlines that are excluded.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was an explosion, with a deafening loud bang and a scorching flame roaring.
The space in the sewer was small, and the flames of the explosion and the rapidly expanding air spread nowhere to spread, and in an instant, they clung to the walls of the sewer, venting out like a flood, and the blazing tongue of fire and heat wave engulfed Carl and little Lucy together at once.
"Be careful!"
Carl let out a low cry as he hugged little Lucy and used his body to block the blast and flames of the explosion.
Obviously, this explosion could not help Carl and little Lucy at all, as early as the moment the explosion sounded, Carl drove the wind to wrap himself and little Lucy, and the extremely inflated explosion shock wave and flame heat wave, as if encountering the current of the reef, spontaneously bypassed the individual.
Although he has retired from the fighting state, Carl still has a part of his absolutely rational mentality, and keenly grasps the opportunity to officially brush up on Lucy's favor, so he decisively made this series of actions.
This has proven to be a success. Little Lucy was about to struggle a little, but when she saw Carl wrapping herself in his arms and using his back to resist the roaring waves of flames, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart and stopped struggling.
The flames of the explosion came and went as fast as they could, and the violent shock wave went down the sewer pipes, leaving only the steaming heat and the slightly pungent smell of sulfur.
Little Lucy blushed, and for the first time she was quietly held in Carl's arms, without struggling.
Carl would love to stop time in this moment and enjoy the feeling of hugging little Lucy for a while. However, the violent explosion had already alarmed another group of people in this sewer.
"Who?"
"What's going on?"
"It's blazing glue! go and see ......"
"Tell Benny and block the ...... of the forks"
A series of rapid shouts reached Carl's ears, and he was immediately reminded that he and little Lucy were not the only ones in this sewer.
"Oops!"
Carlton understood why the shadow girl was going to cause the explosion before leaving, not to vent his anger or sneak attack them, but to deliberately alarm another group of people who were secretly meeting in the sewers and kill them with a knife.
Considering that he had just heard the conspiracy between the Ser Stirling and the pirate Barceló, and the obsidian gold coin he was carrying with him, which was suspected to be the secret of the Pirate King's treasure, he was unwilling to let the pirates discover the secret of his identity.
"Let's go!"
Without hesitation, Carl picked up little Lucy and ran.
Almost a few minutes after Carl left the spot, a group of people quickly arrived at the scene of the explosion.
"Sure enough, there are people!"
Sir Stirling's whole body was concealed in a pitch-black cloak, and apart from his height, he did not show any shape or facial features, except that he was a very tall man with a very low voice.
He glanced at the scene of the battle between Carl and the Shadow Maiden, and said with a gloomy face, "Our meeting is very secret, why is anyone here?"
"How do I know?"
Barcelo was a middle-aged man with a thin beard, a piercing gaze, a weather-beaten face with a few scars hidden in wrinkles, a broad-brimmed beaver hat on his head that must have been slightly cocked like a sail, a woollen robe that was half yellow and half white, and a long, narrow saber hanging from his waist on one side, a dagger and three keys on the other.
"Maybe it's just passing by, maybe it's a secret deal, maybe it's a gangster, maybe it's black eating black, maybe the four enemies are meeting, maybe they're plotting something like us, there are too many possibilities!"
Barcelo casually looked at the scene of the explosion, and said indifferently: "Whatever, the sewers of Silver Tide City are not my hunting grounds, as long as they don't come to harm our good deeds, let them go!"
Sir Sterling couldn't help but snort, of course he understood that Barcelona was a pirate himself, and as long as he didn't appear publicly on the ground, even if he was seen in the sewers now, there would be no trouble, and his reputation couldn't be worse.
But as a nobleman, it was a very serious crime for him to collude with pirates. In particular, he was now being accused by the Knight of Hambani of the House of Robeck, and if discovered, it would be enough to send him to the gallows, and all previous efforts would have to be wasted, and he could not be careless.
"My lord, there should have been two groups of people who fought here just now......"
A veteran of Sir Sterling's retinue carefully examined all the signs in general, and then reported: "There must have been two men on one side of the battle, one man and one woman judging by the depth of the footprints, and neither of them should have been very old...... The identity of the other party is not clear, but it should be a veteran, and the traces are very clean......"
Sir Sterling's face couldn't help but change slightly, what an accident, early or late, just when he and Barcelona were connected, he never believed that it was a coincidence.
“...... My lord, they just left, and we still have time to catch up......"
Another veteran also reported: "Moreover, the two people who just left should be chicks, and they didn't hide their aura at all......"
"Good!"
Sir Stirling couldn't help but smile, and then ordered the other man behind him, who was also covered in black robes, "Mr. Poplar, please help me find them!"
The man in the black robe did not speak, but only chanted in a low voice, reciting a few awkward and difficult syllables.
The next moment, two eerie, indifferent, scarlet lights suddenly lit up on the dark walls of the sewer.
Gradually, these two red dots became more and more numerous, and gradually spread all over the sewers, filling the entire dark world.
