Chapter 245: The Secret Passage
After reading the news brought by the pigeons, Baron Isaac shouted in surprise again: "Someone is trying to take Taylor away from the island?!"
"Don't worry, they've failed. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Admiral Max is much calmer than him.
"Failed this time, but what about the next time?" continued Baron Isaac to shout in his flamboyant aristocratic tone.
"There will be no next time. Admiral Max said categorically. He thought to himself that as long as the thing that Hall was doing was successfully completed, even if Taylor ran out would not be a problem.
Actually, Taylor on Beifeng Song Island didn't see the three people who wanted to take him out this time.
The plan that Gray came up with was quite thorough, and his memory of the secret passage on the island from Changyue Harbor to the Government Palace was also accurate.
But the actual action always seems to be a little far from the plan, and this time, Gray's mistake is time.
The last time he left Kaede Island was four years ago.
Four years is not a long time, that is, it can collapse a few dark passages that no one walks.
Fortunately, Gray was prepared, and he asked the "butcher" Haken to help carry all kinds of tools in the big bag he carried, and he only needed a little black powder to deal with the rubble in the underground passage.
He had just pulled out the bag containing the gunpowder when Mores came over and held his hand.
"It's downtown up here, don't use this. The Sea Knight said, gesturing upwards.
"What a busy city, people are retreating to hide in their homes. Gray was right, the war and blockade of several wars and blockades had devastated the already lively Changyue Harbor, and no one could be seen on the streets above them.
"Hide, but everyone is still in the house! If you blow up and a few people fall from it, do you plan to send them up or do you plan to extinguish them?"
"So what do you say? We made three roundabouts, and they were all blocked. Gray spread his hands and turned back to ask, "What do you say, Captain Haken?"
"I ...... Random. Haken didn't intend to take sides at all, anyway, Luca's task was to bring these two people back anyway, and as for whether the task was completed or not, it was not in the scope of consideration.
Mores pushed Gray away, walked to the end of the collapsed tunnel, and said with a smile: "This stone doesn't need your bag of gunpowder." ”
With that, he raised his shield, and a pale blue shimmer began to condense on the surface of the shield.
With the force of his feet, Mores rushed out two meters in an instant, and the shield hit the pile of stones, and the sound echoed throughout the dark passage.
"Look, I said it's okay, right?" he pulled out a scarf, wiped the dust off his shield, and tossed it to Gray again.
"When did you steal my scarf!" Grayton thought, the sea knight was more like a pirate than a pirate.
"What are you stealing? The law of knighthood forbids us to steal, and you picked it yourself when you were looking for gunpowder. Mores said lightly.
"Then you're going to wipe it casually?" Gray shook his scarf a few times in distress.
"The rules of knighthood don't prohibit me from wiping my shield with an ownerless rag on the ground. Don't shake, there's a lot of ash here. Hurry up!" Mores said, walking forward.
"Haha, the people you captain sent are really extraordinary!" Haken's compliment was heartfelt, but Mores didn't seem to buy it.
"He's not my captain, and I'm not a pirate. He said.
"You know, you're a knight of the seas, you've said it eight hundred times. Gray put his scarf back on, because there was so much dust in the tunnel, that he even wrapped his mouth and nose together.
"A knight of the seas can be a pirate, isn't he, the big man on the lord's ship?"
Instead of paying any attention to them, Mores continued to move forward, and after clearing four piles of collapsed rubble in a row, even he had to sit down and rest for a while.
"Turn the corner in front of you and enter the government affairs palace. I remember two hundred meters further and I could see the ladder going up. Gray said.
After a few moments, Mores got up again and walked forward.
Sure enough, as Gray said, after a right-angle bend, the color of the stone wall of the dark passage is obviously different, marking the difference between the ordinary area and the scope of the government affairs palace.
However, at the junction of the two areas, a larger pile of rubble filled the passage.
Mores gasped and raised his shield again.
His shield charge was as powerful as ever, only with the impact, a rumbling sound came from the other end of the tunnel, accompanied by an ominous tremor of the ground.
"Explosion, how could it explode, my gunpowder didn't move!" shouted Gray.
"Run!" Haken tried to turn, but his fat body was inconvenient to move in the dark passages, especially around corners.
"Hurry, get behind me!" Mores only had time to shout.
This time, he raised his shield diagonally upward, repeating the prayer of knightly power, and the last thought that crossed his mind at this time was that there really was not a word in the prayer that mentioned the goddess of the sea, and Daniel was right.
Flames and currents of air crashed through the narrow tunnel, and Mores' shield glowed pale blue again. This time, the halo formed the shape of half an eggshell, just enough to protect the three people behind the shield, but the presence of Haken made the area a little crowded.
When the dust fell, Haken was the first to regain mobility.
As soon as Gray opened his eyes, he saw the fat man talking loudly in front of him, but the roar of the explosion made his ears completely useless.
He used his little finger for a long time, and finally there was no longer just a "buzzing" sound in his ears, although Haken's voice was still a little faint, but he could barely hear it.
"We can't go any further!" said the fat man.
"But we're all here!" Gray didn't want to give up now.
"Look ahead for yourself. Haken gestured to the passage ahead.
Gray turned around and saw that there was still a passage in front of him, only a pile of rubble.
"What do you say, Mr. Mores?" he asked, looking down, but Mores did not answer him.
"It's not going to blow up, is it?" Haken hurried over to check, and when he came, Lukka repeatedly told him to be safe.
"I'm still alive, and I don't miss arms or legs, as if I'm stunned. Gray said, checking it.
This saves a piece of dizzying glass, Haken thought, but he couldn't say this, he pointed to Mores on the ground and said, "Now I can only go back, the old man didn't steal out the lord will not blame, if you lose a person here, it will be difficult to go back." ”
