After the death of the mentor, the speed of Short's party increased greatly, and soon they threw off their pursuers and fled to the east city, where the pass between the west and east cities was heavily guarded by garrisons, and Short naturally could not pass through here. However, the Emperor Gate had already planned an escape route, and Short and the others only needed to pass through a pre-prepared tunnel according to the Emperor's plan.

The situation in the east city is much worse than in the west city, and if the situation in the west city is a riot, the situation in the east city should be considered a big chaos. For some unknown reason, almost all the slaves in the city escaped, and they wandered through the streets in groups, as if looking for a way out of the city. What's even more strange is that for some reason you can still see mercenaries fighting with the garrison on the street, and even the caravan guards have clashed with the garrison.

The situation is getting worse and worse, the situation in the whole Dongcheng is already precarious, the revolutionary army, the garrison regiment, the mercenaries, the caravans, the private army, and the slaves, all the armed forces in the Dongcheng are in a mess, and I don't know which villains with ulterior motives actually set fire to the house while people are not prepared. Naturally, there was no danger in the houses of the big powers, but the fire in the slums and bazaars was difficult to extinguish, and the fragile and flammable wooden buildings were soon set on fire, and the fire of one house quickly spread to the other houses around it.

However, the chaos provided a certain amount of help to Schott, who no longer had to go to great lengths to avoid patrols.

However, Short's heart was not worried about how to safely leave Penttown with Vichy and Carol, now he was full of thoughts about the safety of the base, yes, according to the current situation, almost all the things that the Emperor said to him have become true, so is the base also besieged by the garrison as the Emperor Gate expected?

"No, I have to go to the base. Short made up his mind that now that the mentor was dead and the main purpose of the plan had been lost, the best thing he should do now was to save the old blacksmith. It was a loyal revolutionary army, he could make more contributions to the revolutionary cause, it would be best if he could be saved, if not, Short knew that he must not let the revolutionary army materials in the base fall into the hands of the garrison.

Determined to take Vichy and Carol to the cellar of a house whose owner had died long before Short had entered, and the contents had been robbed, which was exactly what Short had requested. Vichy and Carol should be safe for the time being, and he is worthy of the dead mentor, but when he really wants to say goodbye to Vichy and Carol, he suddenly finds himself still unable to speak.

"You go, leave us alone. Weizi looked at the other party's ugly face and suddenly took the lead in speaking.

"Oh? no, no, I just. Short was even more embarrassed and painful by Vichy's words, but he had to choose this way, for the sake of righteousness and freedom.

"What? You, are you going to abandon us? No, please, if you leave, we'll be finished, please. Carol soon heard that something was wrong, and she immediately sensed Short's intentions, although she knew that she and the other party were actually complete strangers, but now she could only beg the other party, hoping that Short would change his mind.

"No, it's not like that, I'll be back, I'll be back and take you away, but now there's one thing I have to do. Schott explains.

"About the revolution?" asked Vichy.

"Yes, about the revolution. Short said, looking into the other's eyes.

"But......" Carol held out her hand to keep Short, but Vichy stopped her.

"Go, for the revolution. Vichy's tone was as firm as her eyes.

"For the revolution. Feeling encouraged by Vichy's eyes, Short stood up and walked straight to the base without hesitation.

————————————————————————————————

Every entrance and exit of the base is attacked by heavy troops of the garrison, this group of soldiers is not only well-equipped and well-trained, but also many of them have the figure of magicians. If Short wanted to break through from the front, it would naturally be an act of death, so he chose a dangerous road, a road that only he could pass, a vent at the base.

The air vents in the base are so narrow that even the slightest sturdy people can't get into them, and even the skinny ones have a hard time moving forward. This is not only because of the complexity of the structure of the vents, but also because there is not a single light in the ventilation ducts, which can shake no matter who is when one cannot turn back and is constantly facing the endless darkness.

However, Short had been able to walk through the ventilation duct once, and he was no stranger to the darkness in the ventilation duct, and it was the only way he could enter the base at the moment, even if he didn't want to feel the dark silence anymore.

Knowing that every second of time is precious now, SCHOTT did not hesitate to embark on his "long" journey through the ventilation ducts.

Although it felt like a long time, it didn't take long for Short to get through the air vents in the ceiling.

Short's appearance naturally caused a commotion, but soon the revolutionary army returned to its post again, after all, Schott was a celebrity in all the revolutionary armies, and everyone in this base knew about it. The underground base of the revolutionary army is arranged with multiple fortifications, as well as intricate mechanism tunnels, and the garrison seems to be unable to capture the base for a while, but the garrison is advancing very quickly, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the last barrier of the base will be breached.

"Short, you, you're coming through the vent?" the old blacksmith heard of Short's arrival, and rushed over at once.

"Yes, how is the base now, and what should I do?" Schott said straight to the point.

"Follow me. The old blacksmith didn't say much, motioned for Short to follow, and then turned away.

"How's the mentor?" asked the old blacksmith as he walked briskly.

"The mission failed, the mentor died, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's my mistake. Short's tone was heavy, and although he had tried hard, a mistake was a mistake, and he would not make any excuses.

"We are all responsible for the failure of the mission, and I know you must have done your best. As the person in charge of this underground base, it is my dereliction of duty that I have allowed so many spies to be mixed in with the personnel. I know that I am most responsible for the failure of this mission, and you don't have to explain it to me, but now is not the time for review. The old blacksmith took a key from his bosom and inserted it into the keyhole of the stone closet, and after turning it five times and reversing it three times, the closet moved aside to reveal a secret passage.

After Short and the old blacksmith entered the secret passage, the old blacksmith activated the mechanism on the side to close the secret door again, and then without saying a word, he walked towards the end of the secret passage, pressing down on the specific bricks on the wall as he went. When he and Short reached the end of the passage, and the specific bricks were pressed in order, a window-sized crystal panel appeared in the center of the wall at the end of the passage. The old blacksmith took out a dagger and slashed his hand, dripping blood from his hand onto the crystal panel.

"The confidentiality mechanism has been activated. Suddenly, a cold voice came from the crystal panel, which was neither male nor female, and it sounded very strange.

"Codename, Water, Crops, Everything Grows, Blood, For Revolution, The Third Law of the Magic Circuit, Hunting, Magic Dissociation Formula. The old blacksmith uttered a string of words that made no sense of it.

"Get permission. ”

"Start the camera obscura. After the old blacksmith finished speaking, there was the sound of the mechanism braking in the whole secret passage, and after a while the sound stopped, and a smaller window opened in the wall to the left of the old blacksmith. The window was square, about twenty centimeters high and wide, and there was only a diamond-shaped milky white crystal of full size placed in the window, and the old blacksmith carefully took out the crystal and handed it to Schott on the side.

"Schott, this crystal is very important for the revolution, you must bring it intact to the revolutionary base of the Knicks, this task is extremely difficult, you must complete it!" said the old blacksmith solemnly.

"Yes, I'll get the job done!" replied Short, looking into the old blacksmith's eyes.

"By the way, what's wrong with that killer. ”

"He, I think he's fine, and he's already aware of the garrison's plans. ”

"What?!" asked the old blacksmith in surprise.

"Yes, he already knew, and I was able to escape because he made me change my plans on the fly. ”

"yes, I see. The old blacksmith pondered for a moment before saying, "If you see that killer, give him this token, and tell him that this is the letter of commitment of the Simmel Wizard who lives in the Southern Elf Academy, and give it to the Celeste Wizard to get his magic teaching." You can use this to get them to help you get to the Knicks' base, but you also have to be careful of the other person, judging by what he does, this person is not a good person. With that, the old blacksmith took a black silk book from his bosom and handed it to Short.

Short nodded after the silk book and hid it on his chest with the crystal.

"Okay, go ahead, go through the vents, now that all the secret passages have been discovered, you are the only one who can leave this base. How long will it take you to leave the base?"

"Twenty minutes. Short thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, I know, hurry up, it's too late. ”

"Yes, take care. Short wanted to say something more, but the old blacksmith only urged him again: "Get out of here!"

Hearing the old blacksmith's words, Short didn't say much, turned around and left, and when the other party left, the old blacksmith closed the secret passage again, and after confirming that no one had entered the secret passage, he began to say words to the crystal panel again.

"Sin, Destruction, Rebirth, Thirty-Five, Five Hundred and Sixty-Seven, Forty-Four, Doug. ”

"The self-destruct mechanism has been activated, please confirm the final buffer time. ”

"Thirty minutes. ”

"Please confirm again. ”

"Thirty minutes. ”

"Confirmed, the self-destruct mechanism activates. ”
