Tarrant believed his perception, the voice was inside the wall, he took a sharp step, turned to the wall, and at the same time pulled Katrina out of the position he had just taken away, "In the wall!

Katrina was out of proportion, flashing behind Tarrant, not knowing which spell she would need later.

There were slight cracks on the wall, forming a straight line like a door frame, it was a secret door, Tarrant originally thought that there was some kind of sewer monster in the wall, and now he guessed that it should be a black marketeer doing dirty business, dealing with different enemies, dealing with different methods, Tarrant stuck back to the wall, waiting for the other party to appear, to avoid fighting as much as possible.

The secret door was slowly pushed open, it was a side-shifting secret door, a torch came out of the side of the door, and then a man in dark clothes walked out of the secret door with his head down, he immediately noticed that the source of light from the sewer was not just his torch, and the mysterious man turned in surprise and came face to face with Tarrant.

Two torches pointing at each other illuminated the two sides, and the mysterious man was dressed in dark gray leather armor, a pair of black thick plush boots, a light blue head ring on his head, and most notably, he had a mask over his face, half of the face used for the ball, and the mask was stained with cyan and blood-red feathers.

“...... Feather Angel!" Catrina exclaimed, her tone filled with surprise and fear at the same time.

The Feathered Angel was trying to discern the identities of the two Tarrants, and Katrina's screams helped him do that, and he turned and ran.

Tarrant also reacted, picked up the torch and grabbed Katrina to chase after her, "Stop!"

A new chase race began, the sewers were the kingdom of the Feathered Angels and the home of Tarrant, the three of them chased in the pitch-black sewers, after passing through about a few hundred meters, Tarrant knew that there was an intersection ahead, and the Feathered Angels might use the complicated environment there to shake them off, he shouted: "Katrina, hit him on the ankle with a magic missile!"

"Okay", Catrina remembered to use magic to contain the feathered angel, and her index finger reached out to the target in front of her, and four dark red missiles flew out.

The feather angel who was running wildly in front also heard Tarrant's cry, he turned his head and aimed at the four missiles, the narrow passage was difficult to dodge, as a crazy thief, he decided to accept this challenge, when the four missiles approached quickly, the feathered angel turned over and jumped forward, dodging the first two, the third missile he dodged sideways into the ditch by inertia to avoid, and when the fourth missile flew, the feather angel waved the torch to block, and the energy impact flashed a dazzling spark on the torch.

"One more!" Tarrant didn't expect the other party to be able to dodge the missile, but at this moment, the distance between the two was closer, and he could swing his sword to the Feathered Angel with a delay of two steps.

"No, there's only a restriction spell left, it's too late to cast a spell", Katrina was already out of breath, and the distance between her and the two in front of her was widening.

The Feathered Angel chuckled and shouted loudly in front of him, "Katrina, use your magic!" He heard the name of one of the trackers and took the opportunity to taunt her.

"Damn it!" the feathered angel provoked Tarrant's affection, and Tarrant began to speed up.

The crossroads ahead were already in the light of torches, and Tarrant knew that the only way to do it was now, and he raised his sword to throw it. The change in the position of the light source at the top of the longsword in the darkness caused the Feathered Angel to tilt back, he understood the tracker's intentions, and he was only a few steps away from the fork, and he preemptively threw the torch in Tarrant's face.

Tarrant didn't expect this attack, he didn't throw the sword torch and flew in front of him, he could only use his left arm to block the flying torch, the wooden stick hit the armor and rolled to the side, the figure in front ran to the left, Tarrant immediately dispelled the idea of throwing the sword, the feather angel actually threw away the torch, such a dark environment without a torch to guide the running speed must have been greatly affected, he was confident to catch up with the feather angel, "Katrina, left passage." ”

Catrina struggled to follow, Tarrant's torch guiding her to the left.

The strange thing is that the feather angel didn't seem to affect the speed after it was submerged in the darkness, Tarrant chased all the way, and his figure never appeared on the edge of the firelight, just a few steps away, and now he couldn't hear the other party's movement, a trace of doubt was entrenched in Tarrant's mind, but now was the critical moment, he chased with all his might, and there was no energy left to analyze this.

The torch is chasing forward, there is no concept of distance in the dark environment, Tarrant only knows that he has run for about 100 meters, and then there is a fork in the road, if he can't see the other party's whereabouts, he will be completely lost, according to the speed of the feather angel just now, the distance between the two should still be kept within ten steps, Tarrant raised his sword and threw it forward hard, the burning wreckage at the end of the sword flew out, and in an instant, the fire and light crossed the passage in front of him like a meteor and fell ten meters away, and there was nothing!

The feathered angel had already pulled away and disappeared without a trace!As if deflated, Tarrant slowed down and slowly walked to the side of the burning object and stabbed it, waving blankly to check the surroundings, nothing, and lost it. He looked behind him, Katrina was gone, there were dark passages in front and back, he must have run too fast, Tarrant hurriedly ran back, his mind returned to Katrina, such a dark environment, what if something happened...... Tarrant shouted, "Katrina!"

"I'm here," Catrina replied, not far away, and Tarrant breathed a sigh of relief and ran over there.

As the torch shone on Katrina, she was leaning against the wall and inhaling heavily, her face was a little pale, and Tarrant stepped forward and tapped her on the back, "Are you alright? I didn't see you when I looked back, so I'm afraid something will happen." ”

"It's fine," said Katrina, relieved as she sat down on the floor, lit by torches, "but too tired." She has been trapped in the research institute for a long time and rarely participates in this kind of strenuous exercise, and a brisk run is enough to choke.

Tarrant sat down as well, "Take a break." ”

"Feather ...... How about the Feathered Angels", Catrina gasped, she was still concerned about the matter, although she already knew the result when she saw Tarrant's expression.

"Gone", Tarrant didn't use the word "ran", he felt that he had missed some details in the chase just now, if the Feather Angel was relying on speed, it really didn't make sense to get out, it was definitely impossible to "run".

Katrina noticed Tarrant's words and asked, "How did you disappear?"

"I don't know, it's unbelievable, there was no sign of him when I chased ahead, this guy had already dumped us. ”

"Got rid of it early?" Catrina looked at Tarrant in surprise, "When and how did you do it, I fell behind you, and I didn't see anything!"

Tarrant recalled all the details just now, Catrina was indeed lagging behind, the passage of the chase after the turn was straight, if the feather angel borrowed the few seconds out of sight to sneak quickly and walked back, Katrina should find the abnormality, and it was impossible for the feather angel to accelerate away from Tarrant's pursuit in the dark environment, the problem must be at the first fork, Tarrant was in good spirits, "How is it? Can you go? Let's go to the first fork." ”

Katrina took two deep breaths, still not used to the stench of the sewer, she wanted to vomit, but she didn't want to be a burden to Tarrant, so she could only cheer up and follow Tarrant to get up, "It's okay, I'll follow you." ”

At the first fork, Tarrant held a torch close to the wall to take a closer look, and from time to time pressed the bricks that looked a little worn or strange, there were no secret passages, no mechanisms, Tarrant pondered, obviously saw the feather angel turn left, could it be a mistake, he confirmed to Katrina: "The feather angel turned left, right?"

"I was some distance from you, and I only saw the Feathered Angel throwing torches at you, and I didn't see where I ran after that," Catrina recalled, recalling what she saw, and she ran to the left just following Tarrant's torches.

Although it has not been confirmed, Tarrant affirmed himself, he should not doubt his eyes, the feather angel is definitely to the left, or there is a movement to run to the left, what is the problem, the feather angel has no chance to get out after entering the passage to the left, and before reaching this fork, Tarrant has been chasing the feather angel without slackening, and the feather angel also has no chance to get out, the place where the problem occurred must be here, and the time when the problem occurred is ......

Tarrant's eyes left the feather angel only when he blocked the torch, his eyes regained his vision for a maximum of three seconds, what can he do with this time, Tarrant held his chin, "What can you do in three seconds", he remembered the doubt just now, is the feather angel's torch part of the plan, he deliberately threw away the torch, and then made a move to the left, so that the trackers all went to the left.

The flames on the torches gradually lost their vitality, and they were almost burning, the light quickly dimmed, and the surrounding walls were mixed into darkness again.

Strange things happened again, there were no torches on the ground!

Tarrant opened his mouth wide in horror, unable to speak, calculating the distance, the feathered angel threw away the torch and ran to the fork in the road, at most five meters away, Tarrant searched twice within five meters, and there was indeed no torch.

Looking back on the whole thing, it's full of weirdness, it's just ...... Horror, Tarrant felt hairy behind his back, he lost the direction of reasoning, too many incredible things, the feathered angel appeared like a ghost, and finally disappeared like a ghost, except for the gold coin, leaving no clues, as if there had never been a zài, a qiē was like a dream.

"Tarrant", Katrina watched the fire gradually get smaller, anxious, she didn't want to fall into the darkness again, "What to do?"

The scream brought Tarrantra back to reality, the night vision of the badge was no longer useful, and he didn't want to walk back to the exit in the dark, so he hurriedly took off the coarse cloth cloak on his body, wrapped it in a ball and put it on the end of the sword, and the almost dead flame came to life, devouring fresh raw materials in a big gulp, and projecting the figures of Tarrant and Katrina on the wall of the passage.

Katrina yelled, "Look at the ground!"

With the help of the torch reborn, Tarrant saw a line of footprints appear on the ground, two lines to be exact, one forward, one backward, "Damn!" Tarrant finally discovered the details he had been ignoring.

The Feathered Angel had stepped into the ditch when Katrina released the magic missile, he had footprints, and the footprints on the ground were obviously his, two opposite directions, indicating that the Feathered Angel had turned back, and he had taken the torch from the ground!

So, it's not a nightmare, what you just experienced is true, Tarrant has always been determined to see the feather angel go to the left, it turned out to be completely Tarrant's illusion, Tarrant was annoyed, he was actually played with by the feather angel and applauded, he admitted his failure, "The feather angel went back, I was completely tricked." ”

"He threw torches at you and hid here the moment you were blinded by a close-range flash?" Katrina speculated based on available clues.

"The current situation can only make this judgment", Tarrant began to walk back, "Go back and see what is going on with the secret door of the Feather Angel, I hope to see him again, I will not let him succeed again!" he said the last sentence fiercely.

"Why did he go back to the ghetto?" Catrina could always think of other questions that made Tarrant pause, "why risk coming back when he had already escaped?"

Tarrant really can't answer this question, "Maybe, he was too arrogant, so he wanted to go back to the place where the crime was committed, he escaped twice, and he turned back both times", there must be a reasonable explanation for unreasonable things, Tarrant knows this sentence, but he can't get a reasonable explanation from this matter.

The two came to the secret door where the feather angel was found with one question after another, the secret door had been closed, and it was completely impossible to find the gap in the wall, the feather angel came back and closed it, this is not a doubt, Tarrant wanted to find the opening mechanism of the secret door, along the wall he pressed every brick, it was not right, the mechanism was opened from the inside, and there was no switch outside.

Katrina touched the wall and asked, "What will be in the back? a secret room or a passageway?"

Tarrant took two steps back and looked at the environment here, in the middle of the two forks, old Joey's house was not far away, this place ...... He remembered, "There can't be a secret room behind this wall, there is a parallel sewer, not far from our middle room, and there is no room for it." ”

"You know all about the parallel passages?" Catrina was surprised, "you wouldn't have mapped the entire sewers of the city, would you?"

"Almost", Tarrant smiled, "Do you remember the year when you were a kid in the Torrential Rainstorm in Siant?" Seeing Katrina's dazed face, Tarrant continued: "After the rainstorm, the water in the sewer washed down this wall, and we learned that there was an adjacent parallel passage, and then we planned to make this passage a hiding place, so we got some bricks to block it", talking about the boring game back then, Tarrant was very emotional, "I didn't expect it to become a special passage for the Feather Angel now." ”

"You've blocked it?" said Katrina, looking at the bricks of the secret door, "It really doesn't look like an old brick." ”

"What?" Tarrant leaned closer to the secret door, "It's normal for the Feathered Angel to rearrange this secret door. ”

"Why not somewhere else, since it's two parallel sewers, the secret door can be opened in either position, why is it in this position?"

"It's easy to see because the bricks are not laid here, we just put the bricks here. ”

"I see", Katrina had no doubts.

Tarrant pushed twice, but there was no response, "I can't push it open, the secret door is very strong, I'll take some tools to smash this place tomorrow, hoping to find some clues", he also understands that by tomorrow, the valuable things have already been eliminated by the feathered angels, and the actual significance of this discovery is not much, "Let's go back." ”

"Yes," Catrina remembered to cover her nose, "I'm dying of stink." ”

"Hehe, you should wash it well when you go back, the robe is sticky to the ...... Something yellow," Tarrant said, gesturing to the corner of Katrina's robe.

"Ahh ”

"Why are there so many differences between the ideals of childhood and the ambitions of growing up", the promise of transforming the slums, Tarrant still remembers that people are really a fickle race. The elves have lived in tranquility for thousands of years in order to fulfill their promises, they have kept their oaths, they have given their blood and their lives, they are a well-deserved noble group, and humans, for their own interests and feelings, change their original promises at any time, like throwing away a shabby garment, and the saddest thing is that Tarrant admits that he is also one of them, a race whose faith is declining.

"When I was a child, my dreams weren't mature, so what are my plans for tomorrow?" asked Katrina.

"I'll think about it again, there's so much going on tonight, I need time to sort it out", Tarrant's shirk, he didn't want Catrina to venture with him, she was the most important person, Tarrant's life, in case something happened, together to become the wreckage of the sewers, and then to become the torches of others, how terrible it was.

"Remember to inform me", Catrina understood Tarrant's words, "I'm going to follow this to the end, Feather Angel!" she clenched her fists, "How dare he laugh at the mage of the Academy!"

"Yes, I will make him suffer if you dare to laugh at the great mage Katrina", Tarrant patted Catrina on the shoulder, and the exit was in front of him, the door of old Joey's house.

"Someday, spells with my name will appear in the spell books, like the Klos Energy Punch, the Andnac Meteorstorm, and how about the Catrina Fire Charge?"

It turned out that the full name of the meteorstorm was Andernac Meteorstorm, and Tarrant didn't know this yet, so he laughed and said, "The flame bomb is not enough, the flame explosion is enough." ”

"That's it," Catrina smiled, and with a small jump, she pushed open the manhole cover above her head and sent me up.

"Willing to serve, ma'am", Tarrant squatted down and picked up Katrina's calf, in the sewer, he could still smell a simple fragrance, and Tarrant's heartbeat quietly accelerated.

Catrina cradled up with her hands and with Tarrant's help, the air of the street made her feel like she was reborn, and she spread her arms and enjoyed it earnestly.

"Can't you help me," said Tarrant, holding on to the manhole cover, his upper body on the street.

"I need air, I almost suffocated down there," Catrina smirked and ran out of the street.

Tarrant's elbow struck, and he fell into the street, "Wait for me, this knight is going to send you back", he covered the manhole cover, and walked towards Katrina.

Katrina stopped at the corner of the street, stunned and looked into the distance, and Tarrant walked behind her, "What's wrong?"

"Look over there. ”

On the roof of the tavern, where they had been, a man in dark clothes sits.
