Chapter 400: Saving People
I'm afraid that no one in this world will know what impact El's underground world will have on the future of this world. Most people don't care about this marquis who is high just by hearing his name, their attention is focused on daily oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, trivial chores, and rumors of "Edward", "Leonard" and so on are just a little talk for them on boring days.
For the ladies and gentlemen of Hawley, the departure of Al Edward caused only a small ripple, and it was not long before the name was completely forgotten by the Vanity Fair of the Radiant City, and everyone's attention soon turned to the famine in the city and the riots outside the city, and no one mentioned the former famous marquis for the whole winter.
Yet fate was so wonderful that in a future edition of A Brief History of the Kingdom, the compiler wrote, "Although there is no evidence that El Edward had anything to do with the events that were to take place in the city of Divine Radiance." But his departure seemed like the sound of gongs and drums before the opening of the great play, or the dam that suppressed the unbridled flood was broken, and all the people fought each other with all their might, and all the contradictions intensified with each other and could no longer be reconciled, and the whole city dragged the whole kingdom into the bottomless abyss in a short time like a blindfolded horse.
......
At this point, Anco Antoine felt as if he was in the middle of an abyss, surrounded by extremely narrow tunnels and in front of him in total darkness. He crawled forward on his knees, and the rough stone bumps made his knees ache.
"Damn!", he burst into a foul mouth, his knee presumably already cut, and a piercing pain came.
But what made him even more dissatisfied, what made him unbearable was not the surrounding environment and the pain on his body, but the constant stench from the big fat man in front of him. The stench was as disgusting as raw pork that had been left out for months, and what was even more terrifying was that in such a closed environment, the stench not only could not dissipate, but accumulated more and more, and Anke only felt as if he was about to faint.
"Damn!", he scolded again, and couldn't help but pat forward hard, only to feel a whirring, soft trembling sensation coming, "like those fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered in the market", he thought not without malice.
"Bastard Booker, what the hell did you eat this morning, and why did you stink like this!", he exclaimed in exasperation.
"It's just some potatoes, why are you making such a big fire? The sound of an urn in front of him came.
"Damn!", Anko cursed again, why are his teammates always such stupid?, he thought silently.
Eating potatoes before a mission ranks third in Anko's stupid pomp list, and by the way, Anko thinks that the second stupidest thing is to light a fire in a place like a secret passage or a dark room, which is really exposing one's position and putting up a target for the enemy to hit.
Just as he was thinking about "bang", a firelight came from the front, and someone lit a torch.
"Damn!", Anke didn't know how many sentences he scolded today, and he couldn't remember it and didn't want to remember it.
"Extinguish the torches!, you damned stupid pigs!", he cried.
"Who do you say is a stupid pig?", "You are a fool, your whole family is a fool!", they were all reckless rough men who were working hard, and they scolded one after another. For a while, the narrow tunnel became as lively as a vegetable market.
Anke had already begun to regret taking this job, and he didn't care about the torches, because if there was really some mechanism in the secret tunnel, or if the enemy was in ambush, as long as they were not deaf, they must have discovered the existence of a group of people.
Carrying out a mission with a group of pig teammates is the stupidest thing Anko thinks, but today, in this mission, one, two, three, and three of the stupidest things happened.
But Anko remembered the bag of gold coins, the shiny gold coins.
It's a gold coin! It's not silver, it's not copper, it's gold!
"With so many gold coins, even the most stupid behavior can be forgiven. He comforted himself in his heart.
"Alright, stop arguing, you bastards!", a middle-aged man scolded angrily from behind.
"Hurry up and get to work! All you have to do is climb through this secret passage and make a man! There is no easier job!"
"Just rely on your rotten life, even if you sell this life, you won't be able to make so much money in your life!"
The middle-aged man's tone was very high-minded, and his words were very unpleasant, but Anke sadly found that what he said was not wrong at all. That bag of gold coins is enough to buy the lives of everyone here.
In this world, the most valuable thing is human life, let alone their rotten lives.
Thinking of the middle-aged man, Anke couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, he was very afraid of that man, because Anke always felt that when this middle-aged man looked at them, there was no temperature in his eyes.
It's like looking at a beast, full of indifference.
"He must have a lot of lives in his hands. He thought so, and this kind of ruthless person has always been the little gangster like Anke is most afraid of.
With the middle-aged man's reprimand, the whole team began to calm down and speed up through the tunnel. After a long time, someone finally began to complain: "How long this tunnel must be, we have been climbing for most of the day." ”
When he opened his mouth, everyone agreed: "That's it, that's it, such a long tunnel, I'm afraid it's going to dig through the entire Shenghui City." ”
In fact, how do they ruffians know how big Shenghui City is, and how can they enter Manny District and Hawley District?
Anke looked at his red and swollen palms, and kept crawling forward in a prostrate posture, his back hurt after such a long journey, and he was a little out of breath, and he was indeed too tired to walk.
However, the middle-aged man behind him was like a black-hearted overseer in the mine, and he just spit out two words from his mouth indifferently, "continue", and everyone's hope of resting for a while was dashed.
No one dared to say anything, after all, the bag of money only paid half of the deposit, and the rest had to be paid after the rescue, so a large amount of money, like dried fish to tease the cat, provoked the people present to work hard.
"If I work hard, I will be able to pay off all my debts and live a good life from now on. This is Anke's voice, and it is also the voice of all the gangsters present.
