The night was dark.
The rooms of the Evergreen Hostel are very soundproofed, and the hustle and bustle outside all night cannot disturb the guests in the room. On the big bed in the bedroom, Vivien, who had a lot of mental energy, had already fallen into a deep sleep, but Catherine stared at the roof with wide eyes and listened to Vivien's breathing, but she couldn't fall asleep anyway.
Although Vivien had been placed on the side of the bed to guard and defend the circle, which was enough to ensure the safety of the two of them, the new arrival in a strange place, the chaotic place of the City of Innocence, and the two maids next door who did not know the details, all these factors made Catherine unable to sleep peacefully.
Looking at the ceiling with her hands on her back, Catherine remembered what had just happened.
Calling out Anne, who was eager to help everyone, Vivien gave the excited Banshee the point, and let the Banshee enter the void transparency state, looking around in the dark alley area.
"Do you know how troublesome it can be to be with an undead spirit?" Indulgence asked himself: "Just a hundred years have passed since the return of the king, and there are too many long-lived races who still remember the tragedy of killing countless people in the battle, and many people tend to attack the undead when they see them because of hatred, and you will be attacked together." ”
"But Anne is a good boy, she did nothing wrong. He replied: "She doesn't deserve to be treated like this." ”
"There is no such thing as a good boy or a bad boy for the undead. Indulgence patiently persuaded himself: "They will only attack the living out of instinct." ”
"It's just ordinary undead who don't have consciousness. He replied loudly: "But Anne is conscious, she is special." ”
"That's a big problem. Indulgence sighed: "Do you know? In the history of the Quaternary Age for more than 3,000 years, there have only been three conscious undead, and all of them have appeared under very special circumstances. But in the last 100 years, seven or eight conscious undead have suddenly appeared, and when you think of the disaster just a hundred years ago, don't you think there may be some connection? Maybe this good boy will lead to a great hidden danger. ”
"You said it too, maybe. His own answer was quite tough: "For a possibility that has no basis, and it is only the possibility of leading to a 'hidden danger'." I'm sorry, maybe you're right, but my faith tells me that it's not right. Let me abandon her, I can't do it. As long as she's a good kid, I'm going to protect her, and I think all four of us will protect her. Because she's already like our little sister. ”
"I knew you would say that. Indulgence was very helpless at that time: "Then let your little sister appear in front of people as little as possible to avoid causing too much trouble." ”
"Sister, sister. The little banshee's crisp voice came from far and near, and it was heard very clearly in the silent night, and the body that emitted a glimmer of light opened its arms in mid-air and threw herself into her arms: "I found it, haha, Anne is very powerful, I found it at once." ”
"Did you find those people?" he was amazed at the speed of the little banshee, stroking her half-real hair, "so fast? ”
"Not those people. The little banshee said a little depressed, "I just followed the smell they left behind to find their place, but it was too dark inside." I was too scared to go in. ”
"Black?" he looked up at the moon in the sky: "Forget it, take us to have a look." ”
Let Anne lead the way, and the four of them were just going around the complicated streets of the Dark Alley District. The more traps around the side, the more powerful they became, and there was no trace of human activity in a short period of time around them, only some rats and other animals would occasionally poke their heads out of the building, curiously observing their rarely seen creatures with green eyes.
"Sure enough, it's here. After thirty minutes of circling, indulgence and enthusiasm glanced at each other, and said to himself and Vivien with a wry smile: "Dark, wide, dry, damp, filthy, clean, dangerous. Remember these key words? That one's prophecy was so accurate, it seems that the place where those people were hiding was really what the prophecy was referring to. ”
"It's right ahead, sister. Anne's voice was always full of innocence: "In that circle." There was a deep, deep hole in the ground, and the people were hiding in the hole. ”
"Cave in the ground?" he was puzzled by his indulgence and passion, "What the hell is this place?"
"It's a secret of the City of Innocence, a secret inside the Hand of Shadows, to be exact, that few outsiders know. Indulgence sighed and explained to himself and Vivien, "Under the city of innocence. At a depth of about eight hundred to nine hundred meters, there is a very, very large sewer system, a legacy left over from the days of the Goblin Empire. This drainage system covers more than 1,000 square kilometers of land and is an architectural marvel. But it's a pity that this system, at the end of the Tertiary Age, the continent collapsed, and this system was also broken, although the Creator God recast continent tried to restore the original appearance of the continent, but that was only the appearance, many parts of the underground were distorted, and I don't know where to go. But even so, in the area of the City of Innocence, there is still a complete sewer system of 200 square kilometers, and four entrances and exits have now been found to lead to the bottom. Later, the higher-ups of the Shadow Hand transferred a large part of the guild's functions to the sewer system, and even then, it only occupied about ten square kilometers of an area, and the rest were uncontrolled areas, and no one had ever successfully explored all of them. ”
"Why don't you explore?"
"Yes, the goblins' large number of magic machines, although not powerful, but the number of them is very annoying. And, since the disappearance of the most powerful Legendary Wayfinder of the Thieves' Guild at the time a hundred and thirty years ago, no one has wanted to delve deeper, even if there is more complete support than before. Indulgence suddenly lost interest: "Forget it, since you know that they are below, even if it is a progress, it is too troublesome below, you don't need to go down to find out them, the task is completed by you, and we will figure out the rest ourselves." ”
"Do you think the eldest sister will agree?" Vivien knew her character best, and preemptively said what she wanted to say: "If you know it at the beginning of the mission, it will be very dangerous. The eldest sister will definitely not accept the task. But halfway through the task, let's leave you two clients and hide in a safe place, do you think the eldest sister will agree? So, you want to keep us safe. Then try to help us prepare so that we can go on smoothly, instead of trying to make the eldest sister retreat because of danger and trouble. ”
"Well, think it over tonight. Indulgence reluctantly made the final decision: "We will go to you tomorrow afternoon, and if you have not changed your mind by then, then I will tell you everything I know." ”
"Huh. I'm such an unqualified leader. Catherine, who woke up from her memories, smiled self-deprecatingly: "For the sake of your own ideas and persistence, you always let your family bear the danger together, why do you still regard me like this as a relative?"
Sometimes worried, sometimes self-deprecating, sometimes a little anxious, with the sound of Vivien's breathing, Catherine finally fell asleep shallowly.
In a trance, Catherine knew that she had a dream, in which she seemed to be transformed into stars in the sky, and her vision was overlooking from the distant sky. Look at everything that's happening on the ground.
This seems to be the Yara continent, but it doesn't seem to be, the three sisters of the moon god in the sky are still hanging high in the air, but both the size and angle are obviously abnormal as usual, which makes people have every reason to wonder what kind of place this is.
Under the moonlight, there was a barren desert, and the wind swept the sand and dust all over the sky, casting a hazy veil over everything in the world. At the edge of the desert, there is indeed a white earth. It wasn't the white of snow, it was an eerie white.
"What's that?" Catherine in the dream tried her best to see more clearly, but at the same time Catherine regretted it a little. It wasn't a white earth, it was a sea of bones. The bones of countless undead were densely packed together. It is constantly rapidly encroaching on the space covered in yellow sand.
Without warning, a black light curtain shone on the front of the bone tide, and the scope of the light curtain was quite large, and in just an instant, tens of thousands of undead turned into powder and were completely destroyed by the black light. But compared to the sea of bones that connects to the end of the sky. The destroyed part is as inconspicuous as a drop of water in the ocean.
The light returned, but this time it turned into a white light. Catherine realized that the desert facing the undead was not empty, although it was too far away to see clearly, but it could still be seen that there were more than a dozen people standing in front of the undead tide without retreating. The white light emanated from the side of those people, like a breeze blowing through the undead like a tide. Countless undead fell on the spot just because they had been exposed to the white light, losing all motivation and never getting up again, but there were still many more who stepped on the fallen bones and continued without fear.
The figures finally moved, and one of them, who seemed to be on horseback, leaped out of the crowd, his body as if turned into a sharp arrow, and rode alone, charging head-on against the endless undead.
"Sister, sister. A crisp voice interrupted Catherine's shallow sleep, and when she woke up from her dream, Catherine found that the sun was already shining outside the window, and the little banshee had come out of the pendant at some point, and was looking at her and asked, "Are you dreaming too, sister?" ”
"Also?" Catherine grasped the point: "You are dreaming too?"
"Yes, I've been dreaming about this a lot since I woke up, it's strange, I've never seen those strange places and those strange things, but why do I dream about it?" Anne pouted in annoyance, but soon regained her happiness: "I feel like my sister has the same dream as me." ”
"yes, maybe. Catherine was stunned and muttered, "What kind of strange dream is this?"
