The first step to confront Eric face-to-face was to go out from this ancient road, and the group walked for a long time before finally coming to the source of the sound of water, the underground waterfall. Walking out of the ancient road, the space in front of him suddenly became wider, a lake was formed under the waterfall, the dome was pitch black, and Lin Qiu estimated that it was tens of meters high.

Strangely, the humanoid monsters of Theophalan that Ella and Jennifer mentioned had completely disappeared, and Ella estimated that there were dozens of people who surrounded them before, but they did not leave any traces. The ground was still covered with a thick layer of dust, and it didn't feel like someone had stepped on it in a hurry at all.

"It's strange, they fled from this direction. Ella bent down and pressed the torch close to the ground.

Could it be that the Ofphalan clan still have the ability to float or evaporate from the world?

"Wait a minute, I know here!"

Ola at the end of the line stepped forward, facing the fork in the road by the lake, recalling it bitterly.

To be exact, she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, but everything around it was like an urban legend she'd heard before—dark tunnels, trickling water, monsters that feed on people, and a vast kingdom at the end of the tunnels...... She was referring to a magical suspense written by a bard in the imperial capital.

At least the vast majority of people put it in this category.

The beginning begins with a case of the disappearance of a civilian, the protagonist of a bard, one day in a tavern, he meets an old man who has lost his son. The old man drunkenly confided in him about his son's disappearance, and as if he had gone mad, he believed that some kind of terrifying monster was hidden under the imperial capital.

The first half of the period is spent on the Bard's extensive visits, as he compiles a list of civilians who have recently disappeared and investigates the location of the missing person from house to house, narrowing it down to the underground of the imperial capital. Underground waterfalls and lakes are the last scenes described.

"When you say that, I remember. Ella said suddenly.

This is not a successful urban legend - at least far worse than a few of her features in the Imperial Capital Incredible Daily, which would have been a good subject, but with a limited level of writers, he spends too much time describing his conversations and observations with the families of the missing, and he writes a magical suspense masterpiece into a report of the missing people's family visits.

There are people missing every day in the imperial capital, and the reasons for the disappearance are strange, and the readers are obviously not interested in the reasons for their disappearance, which also determines that this book has not become popular in the imperial capital. What really made it popular wasn't the content, but the final quote - "There are still many unknowns waiting for me about this mystery, and I finally made up my mind to explore the area and record my findings as they were." ”

This is where the story comes to an abrupt end.

What should be the climax of the story, the bard chooses this way to end the story, and the reader doesn't know what exactly is hidden in the underground area until the end. Puzzled readers find the minstrel in an attempt to find the truth—if this is some sort of means of attracting guests, Ella has to admire the minstrels' creativity.

The opposite is true.

Ella was one of the visiting members, but when she finally found the humble tavern, she was told that the minstrel had long since disappeared—these were the manuscripts he had written before his disappearance, and the owner of the tavern had several copies made in memory of the former clerk and sent them out.

The bard's disappearance has made everything a complete mystery. But that was years ago, and Ella remembered that many people were trying to find the underground waters, most of them in vain.

"We've come down to look for ......," Ora said embarrassedly, with her hands behind her back.

However, she is not an avid fan of this book, but because there will always be some big nobles in the imperial capital who have thousands of fortunes and have nothing to do, and at that time, the adventurer's guild was full of high bounties, and the bounty was comparable to that of an A-level mission, and they hoped that some adventurers would find the location described in it. Euler's team was one of the people who responded to the call, and although the underground of the imperial capital smelled a little worse, it was much less dangerous than in the north.

Many homeless homeless people live in underground waterways, and the entrance is full of household garbage made by homeless people, and the whole waterway is filled with a foul smell.

The underground sewers connect the mysterious area, or so it goes.

However, after more than ten days of exploration, the adventurers found that they had been deceived, and countless people secretly cursed the missing bard in their hearts. This tunnel is not as bad as Spitane, which was built for the nobles, but the environment is extremely poor, and the road is extremely complicated, and some people have spared the underground for several days and not only did not see any suspicious passages, but found that the depths of the underground tunnels were indeed full of ogres.

- Crocodile.

Sewer crocodile, C-class monster, Ora saw several crocodiles roaming in the depths of the sewer.

Most adventurers thought that the hapless bard must be in the belly of a crocodile right now.

Some adventurers brought the news back, and the nobles who issued the bounties not only refused to pay the bounties, but also withdrew all the bounties.

The underground waters, the mysterious ogres sound like a row, and the fact that there are a few crocodiles in the depths of the sewers is boring. What's more, crocodiles are not rare monsters, they can be found in any area of water and swamps, and the Adventurers' Guild doesn't even bother to send someone to clean them up.

To be sure, these crocodiles living in the depths of the underground sewers have no interest in eating people, otherwise the homeless people living at the entrance would have suffered a catastrophe long ago, and hiring people to clean up some monsters that rarely come out to hurt people is completely losing money - the Holutia and Lilith Chamber of Commerce will not provide financial assistance for this kind of thing.

So the popular ending ended with the bleak ending of "a few crocodiles".

"I didn't expect what the bard wrote to be true...... But why didn't we find it?" Ora's voice couldn't hide her excitement, if she brought the news back to the Adventurers' Guild, the guild might reward them with a large sum of gold!

"So this waterway connects the imperial capital?" Lin Qiu touched his chin and was embarrassed.

There are more than a dozen monsters in this team, and there are two S-class monsters among them, if this group of people suddenly appears on the streets of the imperial capital, they will definitely become the target of the joint attack of the Kingdom Army and the church. But it was obviously impossible to return here, and Melia had brought with her a large number of guards, who had sealed off the exit of the establishment, and he had no intention of fighting with the Musa consortium before interrogating Eric.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

"Phoenix, it's your turn!"

He suddenly stepped forward and solemnly pressed his hands on Phoenix's shoulders.
