Chapter 29: The Secret Base
On the official road three miles away from Aktamu City, this place is already very close to Aktamu City, and the materials from the nearby villages and farms are continuously transported to Aktamu City through this spacious official road.
Therefore, on this official road, there is an endless stream of carriages coming and going.
A dilapidated donkey cart with a cart of large wooden boxes and straw mats was happily exercising on the official road, and the donkey pulling the cart was kicking and stepping rhythmically, pulling the broken car and crunching, not knowing whether the broken car would fall apart in the middle.
The donkey cart was driven by a middle-aged man in linen, of course, he was certainly not a professional, how could a professional drive such a donkey cart?
The professional seating frame is at least a four-wheeled carriage, two horse-drawn carriages, worth more than 3 kindlers, just like the one next to it.
"Appeal ——。"
After several days of driving practice, Vitruvius had no problem driving the four-wheeled carriage, and was able to do it completely, accelerating quickly and stopping accurately.
He drove the four-wheeled carriage to cut in accurately, and in front of the donkey carriage, a sudden brake stopped the middle-aged man and his donkey cart.
A few minutes later, the middle-aged man was stripped of his deep boxer shorts, and sat on a four-wheeled carriage worth more than three Jindler and two horse-drawn carriages, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.
。。。。。。
At the gates of Aktam, Vitruvius had changed into the linen clothes of a middle-aged man, and his car had been replaced by a donkey cart, and of course a cart of large wooden boxes and straw mats.
Non-professionals naturally have to queue up to enter the city, pay the entrance fee, 5 coppers, fortunately Vitruvius has not been a professional for a long time, some ordinary people's habits, he still maintains, coupled with his honest and straightforward face, naturally there is no waves, smoothly enter the city.
He drove the donkey cart straight to the dock in the ghetto.
It is normal for ordinary people to drive a broken car to the slums, and naturally it will not attract the attention of the rats on the street.
Their attention was on the professional, and the ordinary man stripped naked and belly danced in front of him, and he didn't bother to look at it.
Instead of pulling the goods to the cargo ship at the docks, the donkey cart stopped outside a hotel not far from the canal.
This three-storey hotel in the slums, the full name is called "Seven Sailors Chain Hotel", which covers a large area, and the carriage can be parked in the small square in front of the door, but only ordinary people and some hard-working professionals live, and there are many agile wanderers here, but they generally do not come to live in the hotel but to make a fortune, and some professionals who are reluctant to spend money to live in the rich and aristocratic areas, uh... Most of them are bitter warriors, and their agility is generally low, which is suitable for these wanderers who follow the thief route.
Vitruvius looked bitter and sour, and with a linen dress that was authentic and rustic, no wanderer was willing to go up and touch him, and where Vitruvius passed, the pedestrians automatically separated.
This is an aura, a poor aura.
"Boss, I want to stay in the hotel." Vitruvius shouted.
The boss had already felt Vitruvius's compelling aura from a distance, so he didn't raise his head: "2 silver Deleux for one night." ”
"Boss, I want to see the house." Vitruvius exclaimed again.
The boss glanced up at Vitruvius, the corners of his mouth brought out a hint of sarcasm, and said in his heart: Just you still look at the house? Can you find a cheaper hotel in Aktam than my Seven Hands chain? I'm afraid you want to sleep on the street.
The boss was angry and said: "There is no second and third floors, only the ground floor." "The boss still hasn't said a word, and even if there is one on the second and third floors, it's reserved for professionals.
Vitruvius's eyes lit up: "Okay, I want the bottom floor, but I want to choose the room." ”
The boss frowned, and beckoned a fellow to take Vitruvius to choose a room.
The rooms on the ground floor are all ordinary businessmen, there are no five big and three rough professionals, even the thieves are the kind of quasi-professional thieves who have not opened the power of the ancestors, begging for their lives for a few coppers.
Therefore, the bottom floor of the hotel is not easy to start fighting without saying a word, and the atmosphere is relatively harmonious, but there are more wandering warblers soliciting customers.
Fortunately, Vitruvius has an aura to shelter, and it is difficult for thieves and warblers to get close.
"I want this room." Vitruvius pointed to a room full of clutter and said in a firm tone.
Dude looked strange, so many good rooms don't want, want this haunted one. Although this room is spacious, it is not easy to rent, because tenants find that when they live in this room, there will be a rustling sound in the middle of the night, which is very scary.
Now the room was used for clutter, and the man patiently explained the rumors of the haunting to Vitruvius.
Vitruvius still insisted and went straight to the boss to rent this room for a year to store his goods.
Since it was a big business to rent for a year, the boss asked the guys to vacate the sundries, Vitruvius turned his purse upside down, took out 8 kindlers, and the wanderers who were drinking on the side looked straight in their eyes, and lamented that another fat sheep had deceived him with his acting skills.
After the room was rented, Vitruvius moved the large wooden boxes on the donkey cart into the room one by one.
The boss was sharp-eyed, and seeing that Vitruvius carried the large wooden box effortlessly, and had just taken out another 8 kindlers, he was suspicious and gave a hint to the wanderer at the door.
The wanderer, while Vitruvius was moving the boxes, sneakily went to check the carriage and opened almost all the remaining boxes to look at them.
When the wanderer had to go back and report, "The boss is all potatoes." ”
The boss was also dumbfounded.
Vitruvius went back and forth alone, and carried a large cart of potatoes into his room, stacking them neatly layer by layer, covering the walls of the room tightly, even if the boss made holes in the walls, only rows of wooden boxes could be seen.
After closing the doors and windows, Vitruvius opened one of the large wooden boxes, and Katrina came out of the wooden box with a frown, and pouted, "Werther, this is the secret base of Aktamu City you said?" ”
Vitruvius smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't be impatient. He pulled out his tile-steel sword from the bottom of another wooden box and stabbed it into the ground.
The thick tile-steel sword, which Vitruvius used as a shovel, dug a hole in the ground in three or two strokes that could accommodate one person, and the bottom of the hole was hollow.
Naturally, the soil from the excavation also fell down the hole.
Vitruvius jumped straight from the hole.
Thump!
The ground was three or four feet high.
Vitruvius threw a rolling gourd, and Catrina also fell from the hole and landed steadily.
The underground space is extremely spacious, and there is a huge stalactite stone that emits a cute fluorescence, illuminating the entire underground space.
The space appears to be a naturally occurring cave, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a small waterhole at the edge and a large smooth stone platform on the other side.
Catrina was very satisfied, and asked coquettishly, "Werther, how did you find out here?" ”
This cave is the lair of the big water snake before its death, it used to make a nest here, it loves to sleep on the smooth stone platform, this time Vitruvius ordered it to go back to Aktamu City to lurk, it went directly back to his lair to sleep, when Wittruvius approached Aktamu City to sense the big water snake again, naturally also found this underground treasure land, and then with the mysterious spiritual connection between him and the big water snake found a ground floor room of the "Seven Sailors Chain Hotel" located directly above the weak point of the cave.
The reason why that room made a rustling sound every night was, of course, because the monster anaconda was crawling around underneath.
As Vitruvius' most important hole card, the big water snake naturally cannot be easily exposed.
So Vitruvius said vaguely: "This warrior is very good at water, and he often catches fish in the canal, and he accidentally finds a cave in the water, so he goes deep into it, and it is the waterhole, and this waterhole is connected with the canal outside, and I climbed out of this waterhole and found this place." ”
Vitruvius had a knack for underwater combat, and Catrina knew that, otherwise Vitruvius would not have been able to fight the water snake that attacked her and save her in the reeds.
The two of them explored the cave again, and were very satisfied with this secret base.
Vitruvius mysteriously walked to the edge of the waterhole, groped for a while, and found a small wet bag containing Kindler.
Katrina was surprised: "You hid Kindler in the water? ”
Belch... Could it be said that Vitruvius had just been handed to him by the Great Water Serpent?
He rolled his eyes and said in a very solemn tone, "This is a secret of mine. ”
Catrina's heart was touched, Vitruvius was sharing secrets with her, it was a kind of trust.
"I have a mysterious connection with water, in the water I will increase my strength, water is an extension of my body, it is my instinct to hide things in the water, if you want to find me, just throw Kindler into the pool, I will have a vague sense...
Accompanied by Vitruvius's words, Catherina's eyes flashed with a little star of adoration.
General performance skills, pretending to be forced, and launching successfully.
。。。。。
The two climbed back up the falling stalactites again.
Vitruvius re-approached his boss and gave him another 10 Kindler, asking him to deliver the best meals a day to his room.
Seeing Vitruvius conjure up another 10 kindlers, the boss's heart tightened: "Space Pocket", "Extraordinary Strong", "Evading Pursuit". A series of words came out, which frightened the boss to swallow his saliva, and his eyes became in awe.
Vitruvius returned to her inn room, and told Catrina that she must cover up the entrance to the cave, rest here during the day, and go out at night.
Vitruvius then jumped off the waterhole at the edge of the cave and disappeared.
Below the waterhole, the Great Water Serpent had been waiting for Vitruvius for a long time, carrying him directly from the waterway to the outside of the city, where Vitruvius came ashore from the river and crossed the city gate with a single shield.
