(Until now, VG has entered the winner's group, DK, and IG have steadily qualified.) It depends on whether NB and LGD can break through in the extra game. Last year's champion A team was eliminated and went home to eat themselves. ）

Xiao Yan glanced downstairs, where his coachman was still waiting for a meal. Without saying a word, the Young Awakened stood up, followed the bartender, and after a few circles along the long passage on the second floor, moved to another room. The bartender gently tapped the partition of the room a few times in front of Xiao Yan, and soon, a small hole appeared in the partition, and after glancing at the bartender, the well-disguised door was pulled open from the inside.

Behind this door was a path that stretched downward, guarded by a bearded man. A leg and a hand had disappeared from the man's body, and even the left eye looked a little cloudy. Watching the bartender come in, the janitor took a sip of his wine and said in a muffled voice, "Descartes, you always bring in some strange people, don't you know what secrecy is?" ”

The bartender, who became Descartes, glared at the janitor and said, "Tuft, I don't need to report to you what I do." It's the way you are now, it's easy to have problems. If Pepin is still here, beware that your tongue is gouged out as well. ”

Hearing Piping's name, Xiao Yan's heart moved again, but before confirming that the two Pipings were one person, he still couldn't help but ask this question, but walked quietly behind the bartender.

The path that leads down to the ground is far beyond the depths leading to the surface, even to a depth of tens of feet underground, and it is not that small. A dark passage that makes people feel breathless. Rather, one is enough to allow three people to walk side by side. There are wide passages lit by torches every dozen feet. This kind of passage is even in the realm of reality. It's also a big project. Although digging this depth is not difficult for a town like Linz, after all, the Danube River runs through the city, and the soil in the vicinity is relatively soft. However, it is this softness that makes maintenance extremely difficult. Underground water seepage and collapse can come at any time, which requires full consideration of all problems when excavating, and then make the best response at the first time.

To the surprise of the young awakened man, it was the underground he was walking underground. It wasn't as wet as he thought. It's not dry, but it's definitely not the kind of situation where there is a slight seepage of water everywhere, and the whole underground air is emanating with an indescribable musty smell. It should be said that the ventilation and drainage of this underground passage are very good, and even though it is close to the abundant underground water system near the Danube, it is still safe enough.

"You have good master builders, and it's very rare that this kind of underground engineering can be done so well without any drawings. I've only seen similar projects in places with a lot of rocks. But on the banks of the Danube, this is the first time I have seen it. ”

Xiao Yan even reached out and touched the wall of the passage. As seen by the eye, the walls of this passage are not completely dirt and feel much harder. Theoretically, it seems to be the result of using spells, but Xiao Yan can't imagine who has the luxury to use spells to strengthen the underground passages of a border city, even for legends, such a consumption is not a small amount.

"We have dwarves, gray dwarves, and we used to be."

The bartender who walked in front answered Xiao Yan's exclamation, with the presence of a master builder like a dwarf, it should not be too difficult to talk about such a project as excavation and construction. But who strengthened the walls of this underground passage, the bartender did not say.

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Sylvia, the female vampire didn't feel any discomfort in such an environment, to be exact, she even felt some relaxation. Although this environment is very different from the confined environment in the coffin, the female vampire can still feel a sense of "home".

Realizing that Xiao Yan was looking at herself, the female vampire turned her head to look at Xiao Yan and asked, "What?" ”

Xiao Yan asked rhetorically: "How do you feel?" ”

Sylvia was silent for a moment and said, "No, there is no feeling of those life surveillances for the time being. ”

Those who had been secretly watching Xiao Yan's lives had been quiet for a day or two in the griffon city-state, and after that, Xiao Yan and the others flew directly to Linz in a griffon from the griffon city-state, thinking that they had gotten rid of the surveillance. However, after a few days in Linz, Sylvia once again sensed that the creatures were nearby, and began to spy on them again. Even if Xiao Yan now had a griffin, it would have no effect on those lives.

Now, perhaps because of the soil barrier, Sylvia didn't feel the surveillance of those lives. This is good news, Sylvia can't feel the other party, so most of them have temporarily lost their surveillance of Xiao Yan.

If they were not mistaken, those beings were now thinking about how to re-establish surveillance of Xiao Yan as soon as possible, which meant that they had to enter this tavern, and then find this passage, and even enter this passage. And when that happens, it means that those beings will be exposed to more human beings, and that is what these beings are trying to avoid.

Hannibal ran a few steps beside Xiao Yan, as if trying to convey something, but this action scared Norel a little. She grabbed Sylvia's hand tightly and asked in a low voice, "Mama, how far do we have to go?" ”

At this moment, Leah wiped her eyes and woke up from Xiao Yan's shoulder. A few days after coming to Linz, the little girl began to behave a little abnormally, often sleeping and eating. He seemed very tired, and was very reluctant to get out of Xiao Yan's arms, or even to walk on his own if possible. According to her, walking made her feel pain, and the pain was so intense that even if Hannibal was right in front of her, Leah couldn't muster the courage to walk over and play with Hannibal. Every time she walked, she would eventually be rewarded with a cry, and her greatest pleasure was to sit on Hannibal's back and let Hannibal walk around that castle with her. But it was a terrible thing to let her act on her own.

Xiao Yan checked Leah's feet, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with them. He estimated that most of this pain was related to Leah's race, in order to ensure that Leah's feet would not degenerate due to long-term inaction, and eventually become an alien existence to humans like Medusa, Xiao Yan forced Leah to walk many times.

This situation was also supported by Nolelle, a little girl whose progress was astonishing, and in a short period of time her mind had rapidly approached the age of her present appearance. Or rather, her mental age has caught up with her physical age.

"Leah has to learn to walk on her own, and we can't always rely on others."

These were Noelel's words, which made Xiao Yan stunned for a long time. When he was seven or eight years old, he still had the habit of relying on his parents, and at that time, he did not have the same thoughts as Noel.

Now, Leah wiped her eyes and slowly straightened up from Xiao Yan's shoulders. Soon, this novel environment attracted her attention, and the little girl glanced left and right, then held her chin with both hands, and once again made her signature movements and signature sounds.

"Wow," Leah sighed, looking at the torches and trying to say something, but eventually the words became the same word: "Wow." ”

Xiao Yan gently rubbed the little girl's head, and then subconsciously reached into the cloak, wanting to take out something to eat. However, Leah unusually did not ask for food this time, but twisted her body to indicate that she wanted to go down and walk. Xiao Yan glanced at Sylvia, and then placed Leah on the ground. Strangely, this time Leah didn't feel any pain, she took the initiative to walk to Nolelle's side, took her sister's hand, and began to stumble through the passage.

At first, Leah's pace was slow and unbalanced, and she could fall at any moment. After a few minutes, however, Leah's speed was noticeably quicker, and her balance was very good, and if she only looked at Leah's steps, she walked like a girl of seven or eight years old, not a child of only three years old.

Sylvia looked at Leah's back with a somewhat complicated expression, and then turned her head to look at Xiao Yan, the eyes of the two met each other, and they could read the meaning in each other's eyes.

That is: evolution.

Norel underwent her own evolution through anger and came close to becoming a real Medusa. If it weren't for Xiao Yan's proper handling at that time, it is still unknown whether there is a norel in this world now. And now, for some reason that they don't know, Leah has also begun a strange evolution. Now that she was able to walk on her own, she had begun to learn to take full control of her body, and when her hands began to become nimble at the same time, a new Leah would appear beside them.

It's hard to say whether this is good or bad, Xiao Yan doesn't intend to stop this evolutionary process until he knows what will happen to Medusa and the descendants of humans, for now, he prefers to observe these changes from the sidelines. The Young Awakened won't get involved until Nolelle and Leah really need his help.

"Your child is amazing."

The bartender didn't look back, but seemed to know what was going on behind him. It's just that the bartender is also surprised by Leah's change. When the two girls overtook them, and Hannibal even surpassed the bartender, the man named Descartes finally asked again in amazement, "Hey, do they know what to say?" ”

Xiao Yan asked rhetorically: "Is there anything here that we can't know?" ”

"I don't know," replied Descartes, who watched as the two little girls began to look around the passage, and replied cautiously, "a gray dwarf once told us that there should be a treasure underneath this place. But they never found this treasure. Over the years, we haven't noticed any difference. How does your child feel? (To be continued......)
