"This is a map of the twenty kilometers of the sewers, including the part of the area where the hand of shadow has been controlled, circled in accentuated colors. "Just after lunch, indulgence and enthusiasm came to the door arm in arm. Seeing Catherine's calm expression, the two sighed, knowing that Catherine and Vivien had not changed their minds, 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 more 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. "Indulgence Yan said: "A rare artifact from a goblin ruin excavated inside 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. "Actually. Even if they don't lend such an item, Catherine and Vivien will search for it diligently, and it is obvious that the indulgence and enthusiasm of lending this item is not only for the sake of the smooth progress of the mission, but also for the safety of Catherine and Vivien. Catherine also saw this clearly, and thanked her with some emotion: "I believe that I will not let you regret it." ”
"Also, take 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 wanted to use their familiarity with the Dark Alley to get them to help, but since they're going to the sewers, they're not familiar with it either." There's no need for them to face the dangers below. ”
"You underestimate the inhabitants of the City of Innocence, I went back yesterday at noon to investigate their information, what a surprise. 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, to explore the kind of place that has not been inhabited for thousands of years." It's still too dangerous, and no one knows what they'll encounter inside. ”
"Ordinary people? Yes, they are ordinary people. The indulgent smile was cold: "However, don't forget that this is the city of innocence." 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 reluctant. But he still took the initiative to persuade Catherine: "Although we don't have the combat power of professionals, we still have a certain degree of confidence in the concealment and concealment of the 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, then nodded in agreement, "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, shook her head slightly, and then 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. Okay, hurry up and go, and I'll give you a detailed introduction to the details of the sewer on the road. ”
"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 also breed in them. The number of Warcraft will increase, and they will need to be cleaned up on a regular 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 were actually saved for hunting and cleaning up monsters, and they had a certain amount of combat power. Due to the goblin era, there were not many intelligent creatures coexisting on the continent as they are now, so the instructions they received were to clean up non-goblin creatures that were not certified within the detection range of a qiē, so whether it was a demonic beast or a human, they would be attacked indiscriminately if they entered their detection range.
This part of the sewer that is preserved under the city of innocence is eight hundred and forty meters above the ground. Of course, it was not the goblins who built this system so deeply, 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.
A hundred years of time. Let the thieves guild operate the sewer area under its own 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 inside the guild all year round. Any sudden critical situation can be easily resolved. 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, defenders on the periphery of the Hand of Shadows base tend to kill creatures that approach the base before they ask, even if Catherine and Vivien are in possession of the Hand of Shadow's invitation token. There is also a high potential for 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 supplies provided by Passion and Indulgence outside a building, and asked, "No matter how many goblin cleaning puppets there are." With only consumption and no replenishment, a few hundred years is enough time 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 where the current situation is. 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."
