Entering it along the entrance of the secret passage, he had just walked a few steps when a figure suddenly appeared, startling Allen!

However, when Alan saw the appearance of the figure clearly, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The figure is not a mysterious person or a mysterious creature or anything like that, but someone you know.

The figure's name is Elver, and he was adopted by Earl Tyron in the Earl's Court since he was a child, and he was the attendant of his eldest brother Charles, and he basically grew up with Allen.

"Why is he here?"

Alan was quite surprised by this, and was about to ask a question, but was amused by Elver's reflection.

Elver seemed to be frightened at this time, and pulled out his weapon and looked at the people at the entrance vigilantly as he retreated, looking wary and dazed.

Alan and the others walked into the secret passage with the light on their backs, and because of the light, he couldn't see the appearance of Allen and his party clearly.

Seeing this, Alan didn't have any intention of teasing him, and raised his hand to greet: "Elver, it's me." ”

Hearing the voice, the vigilant Elveren paused, took a few steps forward cautiously, squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and after seeing Allen's appearance, his face was relieved and he sighed.

A happy smile appeared on the relaxed young man's face, and a muffled whimper came out of his mouth, as if to say hello.

He's a mute.

Elver is good-looking, of medium height, and has a pair of eyes that are particularly energetic, and he looks very smart.

It's a pity that his natural defects make him very inconvenient in some ways, such as now.

If it weren't for the obvious situation, Alan wouldn't have guessed if he was saying hello or something else.

Elver is congenitally mute, although they have lived together for more than ten years, but Alan still can't understand what he mutters, once he considered making sign language for him to use, but after thinking about it, he found that he couldn't sign language at all, and finally had to give up.

Still, he was able to offer some ideas, replacing certain words with fixed gestures, and in the long run, Elver could now make some simple gestures to indicate what he wanted to say, but there was basically nothing more than that. So the two of them couldn't help but stare dryly in this dark secret passage.

But it didn't take long for Elver to suddenly pat his head as if he had reacted to something, and then rummaged through his waist bag.

The guards behind Eren were quite familiar with Elver, so it wasn't a surprise to see this situation, although they were all eager to learn about the situation in Reef City from Elver, but it was obviously impossible.

They didn't have to wait long, and Elver took out a small piece of paper from his bag that had been rolled into a ball and handed it to Allen.

"Uhhh ”

Alan automatically ignored the slurred voice in his mouth, took the note and opened it, speechless.

The note was so small that it couldn't write a few words on it, in fact, it was only six words on it, and it looked rather sloppy with the lingua franca of the stars of the dragon and snake.

[Call Eren back]

The handwriting was familiar, and Alan recognized at first glance who had written the sentence.

His stern daddy, Taryn.

"What did he tell me to come back for?" Alan couldn't help but look at Elver who was curious about the words in his hand, but he couldn't speak in an instant, and couldn't help but smile apologetically.

Elfle replied, then glanced at the guards behind Allen and greeted him kindly.

Although he was born to start lower than others, there is nothing extreme in Elver's personality, but he is happy every day as if he never knows what it looks like to be angry, and he sees everyone the same.

Alan doesn't quite know exactly how Elver's character came to be, but he has a very good impression of Elver. If it weren't for the special situation now, Alan would even want to pull Elver to catch up.

But here and now, it's not a good time and a good place to catch up.

After the secret passage was opened, the seawater that spread around the waist had been poured into the secret passage, and at this time, all the lower legs of their bodies were soaked in seawater.

Unable to ask for anything from Elver, the note Elver handed him had this inexplicable sentence written on it, so Alan paused for a moment, closed the entrance to the secret passage, and then hurried back on his way.

The secret passage is on the rise, and the sea water that pours into the secret passage is only near the entrance, and Alan and his party have not been walking for long before they get out of the sea water immersion, but the clothes on their bodies have been soaked by the sea water, and the touch on the skin is really uncomfortable.

But this can only be endured, if they want to change their clothes, at least after they get the reef, and only if they have the opportunity to change.

Walking in the secret passage, Alan looked around as he hurried.

Although he had heard of the existence of this secret passage, he had never seen it before, and when he walked through it, he found that the secret passage under his feet looked completely different from the castle secret passage they had walked in Bay City.

The road underfoot is quite smooth, as if it has been specially repaired. On the walls on both sides, all kinds of rock paintings with strange painting styles sway slightly with the light of torches, faint and mysterious.

The passage seemed to be regularly tended, devoid of dust and shady creatures, and there was silence except for the sound of footsteps and breathing.

It wasn't dark inside the passageway, and every other way, bundles of torches tied to the walls appeared on either side, illuminating the surroundings with a dim glow.

Alan walked at the front, and Elver followed him, looking at Alan with big white teeth and muttering something from time to time.

He could be recalling the old days, or he might be talking to Allen, but Allen barely understood except for a few notes, so he could only roll his eyes there.

Elver, however, didn't feel like he was doing useless work, and he kept enjoying it.

The guards followed behind, and there were also bursts of whispering voices, most of which had something to do with the current situation of Reef City, and they were no longer as nervous as before, because they saw Elver or saw Elver's state at this time.

Elfer was mute, but he didn't look worried at all, as if he had experienced something happy before.

What does this mean?

Reef City must be fine, otherwise how could Elver be happy?

The guards thought to themselves quite calmly. As everyone knows, Elver has always been this kind of character, and he can still laugh when he was teased when he was a child, and when he was chased by the wild dogs of Reef City.

However, Alan would not explain this kind of thing to them, and the pressure on the guards was relieved, and he was happy to see it.

The secret passage under his feet was quite long, and the group walked briskly in it, and they didn't see their heads for about a quarter of an hour, and Alan could only sigh at the generosity of the people who built this secret passage.

This is not an ordinary passage in the dirt, but in the hard rock, at this time they seem to walk here very easily, but as long as you think about it, every step they take is estimated to be the hard work of the people who cultivated the secret path here in the first place.

"Or maybe supernatural power was wielded?"

Glancing at the murals on the walls on either side, Alan was thoughtful.

Can you have the leisure to depict wall paintings after repairing this rather long secret passage, and think that the owner of this secret passage was comfortable when cultivating the secret passage, or a special habit?

Alan usually unconsciously thinks about things while walking, and at this time he is no exception, and he even began to think about the original idea of the person who built the secret passage......

After about fifteen minutes of walking, the same scenery of the secret passage finally changed, and the light suddenly became much more abundant, and the strange wall paintings on the walls gradually disappeared.

At last they turned a corner along the secret passage, and their eyes suddenly opened up.

It was an underground hall with very bright torches burning around it, bags of unknown items piled up around it, and many glittering luminous stones inlaid overhead.

The sudden scenery made Alan and the others stunned for a moment, and then saw that Elver's footsteps did not stop, so he hurriedly gathered his mind and followed.

Jumping over the hall, Alan and the others walked into a small corridor deep in the hall, and after a few steps, they saw the exit stairs of the secret passage.

Judging by the current situation, they should have reached the interior of Reef City.
