Walking in the sewer world, my eyes are full of cold fluorescents, the air is full of dull smells, and all I hear in my ears is the sound of the wind blowing through the pipes. In the dry canal under his feet, from time to time, several animals or magical beasts were alarmed and ran past, driving the gravel at the bottom of the canal to collide with each other, making a small breaking sound. In the deep pipes in the distance, there was occasionally a faint cry of a demonic beast, and the cry became extremely strange after the twisting of an unknown number of pipes, making people sound creepy.

"Why is there a gust of wind here?" Catherine asked, feeling the breeze, puzzled, "Isn't it deep underground?"

"No one knows the answer. Vivien shrugged and said, "Goblin ruins often have this kind of wind, but after digging through the ruins, they can't find a place to ventilate, and no one knows how they do it." Therefore, this special method of ventilation, like their metal alloy formula, has become one of the five unsolved mysteries of goblins in the academic world, the first of which is the mystery of the demise of goblins. ”

The breeze was occasionally mixed with the sound of metal grinding, and the puppets were moving in the distance, and occasionally there was a rhythmic murmur, as if someone was whispering in their ears, but no one could hear what was being said.

Anne quietly poked her head out of Catherine's chest, feeling the resentment from her soul in the air, and sometimes pointing in a certain direction, Catherine led the team to turn in the direction that Anne was pointing, and as she went, she had to be careful to guard her surroundings, always ready to meet the puppets that would come out of nowhere. Vivien, on the other hand, was busier than Catherine, but fortunately she had long been used to using magic tricks, otherwise she would not have enough hands. Vivien held the indulgent delivery of the instant map in both hands, and at the same time manipulated the magic thread, causing a piece of paper to hang in the air and rest next to the instant map, referencing the changes of the instant map. I keep drawing the roads on the paper, expanding the scope of the map. Pansy and Mimosa, the two maids, looked at each other, and the only lighting work they had now had had been replaced by a fluorite band overhead, completely idle. He consciously pulled out the dagger from the base of his thigh, and protected Vivien on both sides, trying his best to follow the steps of the professional.

"Drop", an abrupt short prompt tone startled the four people who were in a hurry, followed by a series of incomprehensible voices sounding from all directions. Catherine escorted the three behind her and quickly retreated to the edge of the pipe. Be prepared for possible changes. But no change occurred, and after the voice, silence returned to the surroundings, and there was nothing unusual at all.

"Vivien. Catherine did not let her guard down, her eyes still scanned around, and she asked without looking back, "Is it the language of the goblins just now?"

"I don't understand. Vivien smiled wryly: "I can only read part of the text, but let me listen to the voice, this is really a bit difficult." Alas, it is only when you use it that you know how important it is to master the speaking and listening skills of a foreign language. But it's not completely incomprehensible. I can hear a few words. ”

"Can you guess the meaning?" asked Catherine, "about the meaning." ”

"What should be a warning. Vivien hesitated and guessed: "Saying that there will be a change, and then something to avoid, this sentence seems to be related to height, so I can only guess this, basically it doesn't make much sense." ”

"No, it still makes sense. Catherine slowly lowered the shield in front of her: "It shouldn't be a sign that the cleaning puppet is about to appear, this is good news." The bad news is that maybe this change will be harder to deal with than cleaning golems. ”

The four of them stopped in embarrassment, wanting to move on, but fearing that the changes mentioned in the voice would bring unforeseen dangers, and wanted to stay where they were. But I am worried that the so-called change is actually over, and I still don't know stupidly, and I am in a dilemma for a while.

"I remembered a joke. Vivien said bitterly, "More than three hundred years ago, there was a period of academic exchanges between the Mage Guild and the Ancestral Temple of the Orc Clan. One year, an orc shaman came to the Tower of Stars to study, and the shaman made up the lingua franca for a period of time before leaving. I can read most of the magic literature normally, so I came with confidence. After arriving at the Tower of Shine, a disciple in the tower received him warmly, arranged a place for him to live, explained in detail the habits and taboos in the Tower of Shine, and finally told him three magic words when entering and leaving the Tower of Shine. But. Later, it was discovered that this shaman had a very strange habit of passing upside down every time he went out of the forbidden door, without a single exception. Everyone was puzzled, but thought that it might be an orc custom, so they didn't ask. In this way, the shaman studied in the tower for two years, and finally returned to the grassland. Before leaving, his friends couldn't help but be curious, so they asked this question, and the answer made them laugh and cry. It turned out that when the disciple who received the shaman first explained to him the magic words of the access control, he told him that when he said these three magic words, as long as the body was in the correct position, the order of the magic words could be reversed, and it would not affect the judgment of the access control, but the shaman's hearing was not good, thinking that it was said that the body should be in an upside-down position so as not to affect the judgment of the access control, so he went in and out upside down for two years. ”

"The joke is so good. The three of them looked at Vivien, who was giggling with a blank face, and Catherine hugged her arms and said, "Although I didn't find the point of laughter, I felt a little stuffy just now, but now it's much cooler, and it's all your credit." ”

Vivien put away her smile boringly and said wistfully, "Maybe I misunderstood, or else, let's keep going?"

"It's fine. Catherine nodded and said, "It hasn't changed for so long, so it's better to keep going, just be careful." ”

Before the words fell, a sound of metal friction sounded from inside the wall, and at a position about five or six meters above the wall above the heads of several people, a sharp metal blade one meter wide and more than ten meters long shot out from the inside of the wall, stretching forward, clinging to the edge of the canal and going deep into the inside of the canal, almost touching the bottom of the canal before it stopped extending. Not just from the top of the heads of several people, in fact, every ten meters or so, three metal sharp blades poked out from the left and right sides and directly above to the bottom of the canal, all the way to the end of the field of vision. If you look closely, it is not actually a metal blade, but a metal plate, and the edge is wrapped with a chain with fine and sharp serrations on the outer edge, and the sharp serrations exude a cold atmosphere. After all the metal blades were in place, there was another "Didi" beep. The serrated chain began to spin rapidly, and the metal plate began to advance along the course of the pipe, until it was ten meters away before stopping. After another beep of "Didi", the metal chainsaw retracted into the wall. Everything is as if nothing happened.

"Perhaps, sometimes the orc shaman is right. Catherine smiled wryly and said, "Vivian, your jokes are still very philosophical. ”

"This chainsaw...... It should be used to automatically clean up large volumes of debris stuck in the waterway. Vivian said: "It's not a trap, it's a great threat to ordinary people and low-level professionals, but it's of little use to high-level professionals, although it can destroy the ** of the gold rank." But you can't break through the shield. ”

"Well, it can't break through the Dou Qi or the magic shield. Catherine nodded, "But its cutting can consume a lot of fighting energy or mana, and it is also a trouble." ”

Pansy swallowed heavily and whispered, "If we had been walking in the canal just now, my sister and I would have died by now." ”

"No, it won't. Catherine said, "It's actually going to be slow, and we've had enough time to open our shields and get in front of us, and then cut off the chainsaw." However, it seems that we have to be a little more wary of this kind of trap that is not a trap. ”

"So you two try not to get too far away from us just to be safe. Again, Vivien emphasized, "You have to keep it in mind. ”

"Alright, I don't know how long the next cleanup will be. Catherine straightened up. Standing up from the corner of the wall, he said, "Take advantage of this opportunity to hurry up." ”

As soon as she stood up, Catherine suddenly noticed that the pupils of the two maids constricted, and their eyes were fixed on her chest, but after staring for a few seconds, they quickly moved away as if they were fleeing for their lives, pretending not to see anything. As soon as he looked down, he found Anne poking her head out of the pendant again, looking curiously at the two maids.

"Alas. Catherine sighed distressedly, rubbed her forehead and said, "You see?"

"No, we didn't see it, we really didn't see anything. Pansy blurted out almost at the volume of her shouting. The two maids are accustomed to seeing people who suddenly disappear because they know too much in the city of innocence, and they know very well that many times knowing a secret will only bring death. And she is also well aware. In the face of the two high-ranking professionals in front of her, she and her sister had no room for resistance, so when Catherine asked, Pansy shouted without even thinking about it, but only realized how ridiculous her answer was.

"Sister, it's useless. Mimosa smiled bitterly. Reaching out to hold her sister's hand, "That's right, we saw it, an undead girl." However, if you try to kill us, even if it doesn't work, we will definitely resist. ”

"I wonder if you have a habit of talking in your sleep?" asked Catherine, with a calm expression.

"Phew, thank you. Pansy instantly understood Catherine's meaning and breathed a sigh of relief: "We will never say it, and we don't have the habit of talking in our dreams, thank you." ”

"Actually, the eldest sister doesn't care at all. Vivian said casually: "Many people know about this, just hide it from you to avoid trouble, you don't have to worry, kill someone for such a trivial matter, is the eldest sister still worthy of being a knight? ”

"Thanks, we get it. Pansy and Mimosa bowed again, but their posture was a little less restrained.
