"This is a map of the twenty kilometers of the sewers, including the part of the area controlled by the Shadow Hand, circled in accented colors. "Just after lunch, indulgence and enthusiasm came to the door arm in arm. Seeing Catherine's calm demeanor, the two sighed, knowing that Catherine and Vivian had not changed their minds, so they could only take out a map and hand it over: "Although the secrecy level of these maps is not very high, they are also relatively important to the Shadow Hand, so ......"

"When it's over, I'll hand it over to you, including the part we've discovered, and I'll give it to you if I have any, and I won't leave any copies. Catherine promised.

"And this. With a look that was more solemn than handing over the map, Indulgence handed over an open book-sized box: "You also take this with you, don't lose it or break it, in the entire Yala world, there are only two such things that have been published, one of them is missing, and the only one is in your hands." ”

When the box was opened, there was a screen made of hedrons, the screen was pitch black, without any patterns. Facing Catherine and Vivien's questioning eyes, indulged in a low voice: "This is a real-time map, after activation, it can be centered on the holder, showing the terrain and paths within a range of fifty meters, as long as you can use this map board all the time, you can basically eliminate the possibility of getting lost." ”

"This kind of thing...... Never heard of it. Vivien gently pressed the map wheel to her face, closed her eyes and said, "I can't understand the principle, is it really that magical?"

"That's right, this is one of the highest technologies in the last decades of the Goblin Empire. Indulgent and serious, he said, "A rare artifact from a goblin ruin excavated within our guild. According to the research report that accompanied this item, there were only two samples that could be made at that time, and they were not put into large-scale production at all. No one knows how this stuff works now, so it's invaluable. We've taken on a lot of responsibility by lending it out privately, so be sure to use it sparingly. ”

"Thank you. In fact, even if they didn't lend such an item, Catherine and Vivien would have searched for it, apparently with indulgence and enthusiasm in lending it. It's not just about the mission going smoothly, it's more about the safety of Catherine and Vivian. Catherine also saw this clearly, and thanked her with some emotion: "I believe that I will not let you regret it." ”

"And. Bring your two maids. Looking at the side door of the room, he raised his voice and said, "They will bring you unexpected surprises." ”

"They're not combatants, are they?" Catherine asked, confused, "I originally wanted to borrow their familiarity with the Dark Alley area to get them to help, but since they're going to the sewers, they're not familiar with it, so there's no need for them to face the dangers below." ”

"You underestimate the inhabitants of the City of Innocence. Yesterday I went back at noon to investigate their information, and I was really surprised. Indulgence exclaimed, "Won't you two come out and let the employer know what you're capable of?"

"We are naturally sensitive to wayfinding. Dressed in a black and white maid's outfit, Pansy and Mimosa stepped out of the maid's room and whispered to the hem of their skirts: "As long as we have walked once, we can all remember that no matter how complicated the terrain and road, we have never lost our way." ”

"Got it. "They are simply here to assist you in this operation," said Indulgence. ”

"But there will likely be fighting along the way. Catherine shook her head and refused: "As an ordinary person, not even a professional, it is still too dangerous to explore the kind of place that has not been inhabited for thousands of years, and no one knows what will be encountered inside." ”

"Ordinary people? That's right. They are indeed ordinary people. The indulgent smile was cold: "But, don't forget that this is the city of innocence, and these ordinary people in your eyes may not have fewer lives in their hands than yours, and they are no exception." ”

"Let's follow, Miss Catherine. Pansy seemed a little reluctant, but still took the initiative to persuade Catherine: "Although we don't have the combat power of professionals, we still have some confidence in the concealment and concealment of breath, and I think we can ensure our safety below." If I can help you, it can be regarded as repaying you for taking care of you for the past two days. ”

"Okay. Catherine was silent for a while. Nodding in agreement, he said, "But when we can't take care of it, you put your own safety first." ”

"Big sister!" Vivien was surprised that Catherine actually agreed, and said eagerly, "Big sister, it's really ...... to do this"

Catherine stopped Vivien's words with her eyes. Shaking his head at her slightly, he asked indulgence and enthusiasm: "Are the items ready?"

"Everything on your list is ready. Indulgence said: "Hide near the sewer entrance in advance, just take it out before you go down later." I don't know how long it will take you to go down this time, the two of us really can't go with us, so you can solve the problem yourself. Alright, hurry up and go. The details of the sewers will be introduced to you in detail on the way. ”

"I have one last question. Catherine frowned tightly and asked worriedly: "It may take a few days or even ten days to go down this time, what about the rent and car fare? Why don't you stop first, and you convert these two expenses into cash for me according to the number of days?"

Indulgence and enthusiasm turn around and go, not bothering to say a word. Vivien also secretly covered her face, pretending not to know Catherine, and stumbled out the door, leaving the angry Catherine still chasing after her and shouting: "Hey, I'm serious, you listen to me." ”

The sewer system is one of the masterpieces of advanced technology during the Goblin Empire. Covering nearly 1,000 kilometres, a vast underground waterway connects seven or eight nearby cities and solves urban drainage problems for millions of people. The sewer is made up of a huge hollow cylindrical structure with an inner diameter of 30 meters, and the only part of the giant hollow pipe is a layer of goblin special metal as the core, and the inner and outer sides are poured with steel bars as the skeleton of the gelatinous solid composition. These colloids are solidified and have a slight elasticity that is not inferior to that of rocks, which can better resist the pressure exerted by the underlying layer.

Since the space inside the sewers is too vast, a large number of demonic beasts inhabit it. Most of these demonic beasts are small demonic beasts such as rat demonic beasts and soft demonic beasts, and occasionally some medium-sized demonic beasts that have strayed into the sewer and cannot get out of them are also breeding in them, and the number of demonic beasts will be more and more, and they need to be cleaned up regularly on a large scale. However, the goblins were unwilling to spend a lot of manpower on cleaning up the inside of the sewers, so they created a large number of cleaning mechanical golems, although they were called cleaning them, but they actually existed to hunt and clean up the monsters, and they had a certain degree of combat effectiveness. Due to the goblin era, there are not as many intelligent creatures on the continent as there are now, so the instructions they received are to clean up all non-goblin creatures that are not certified within the detection range, so whether it is a monster or a human, entering their detection range will be attacked indiscriminately.

The part of the sewer that was preserved under the city of innocence was 840 meters above the ground, of course, it was not that the goblins built this system so deep, but after nearly 10,000 years, the soil layer was naturally thickened. There are four known entrances and exits to this part of the sewer, two of which are large entrances and exits in the current and former headquarters of the Thieves' Guild, the guild and dark alleys of the City of Innocence, and two smaller exits, one near the Bayergas River and the other underground through the Bayergas River, in a cave inside the Pandora Mountains at the end of the sewer.

For a hundred years, the Thieves Guild has operated the sewer area under its control like an iron bucket, without any loopholes that can be invaded, and among the three demigod leaders, there will always be one who sits within the guild all the year round, and any sudden critical situation can be easily solved. The simplicity of indulgence and enthusiasm for Catherine is not to come into contact with the Shadow Hand and never go near the territory of the Shadow Hand. Due to the unique sensitivities of thieves and assassins, the defenders on the periphery of the Hand of Shadows base tend to kill creatures that approach the base before they ask, so even if Catherine and Vivien hold the invitation token of the Hand of Shadows, there is a high chance that there will be unnecessary conflicts.

"That's pretty much it. Indulgence concluded: "You can find out about the rest of the situation when you go down and see, and I won't say more." ”

"But I have a question. Catherine and Vivien were sorting out the supplies provided by enthusiasm and indulgence outside a building, and asked, "Even if there are more goblin cleaning puppets, only if they are consumed and not replenished, hundreds of years are enough to clean up the puppets inside this two-hundred-kilometer sewer fragment, why are there so many of them?"

"Who said that there is only consumption and no replenishment?" Indulgence smiled bitterly: "I don't know why, even if you completely destroy a puppet and destroy all its parts, a new puppet will appear from the original puppet entrance and exit in a few days." There was once a suspicion that there was a puppet replenishment system outside the outer wall of the sewer, but it would be a pity to completely destroy the sewer if you wanted to verify it, so you have to maintain the current situation. Don't look at the current control area is only a dozen square kilometers, but for the sake of these ten square kilometers, the two demigod presidents at that time took it personally, and invited a demigod mage, and the three of them worked together for twenty years to create several small-scale directional earthquakes at the seven puppet entrances and exits in this area, so that the entrances and exits were completely sealed, and this is the current situation. If you want to expand outward, it's not as easy as you think. ”

"Alright, the supplies have been checked, no problem. Catherine and Vivien put their usual adventure backpacks back on their backs, and finally sorted out their gear: "Here we go." ”

"Good luck to you. Indulgence and enthusiasm looked deeply at the two girls: "We are waiting for your good news outside."
