Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info doubts in his heart, he didn't expect that in the past few days since he left, there was such a big thing, at the moment he was thinking about Alice, and he didn't want to report the situation, Zhu Lin said thank you to the chief of the guard, turned around and walked in the direction of the lord's mansion,

There weren't many people on the streets, every house had closed their windows and doors, and most of the shops were out of business, deserted and depressed, which formed a strong contrast with the lively Alma in his memory, which confirmed the words of the city gate guard just now,

muttering in my heart, I have only been away for a few days, how did I become like this all of a sudden?

didn't go far, Querca was stopped by the patrolling soldiers for checking, but fortunately, Querca was more or less a famous craftsman in Alma, and he was not too embarrassed, so he was let go after a simple question.

Sure enough, as I thought in my heart, it was impossible to enter the lord's mansion normally, this place was completely surrounded by guards, and no one was allowed to enter without the lord's order.

Quercus saw the main building of the lord's mansion that was burned down from a distance outside the fence of the territory, and now it seems that the fire at that time was indeed very serious, and this huge building was directly burned to a corner, but fortunately, the spread of the fire was stopped, and at this time there were craftsmen who were stepping up repairs,

But fortunately, in addition to the heavy guards, there has not changed much here, so that Quercus has settled down a lot, if someone is injured or something more serious, it will definitely be more than just a little battle in front of him,

The right way was not successful, Quercus had to continue to drill the sewer before, the crystal light source in his hand was thrown by him under the desert, and now he is in urgent need, so he has to buy another one.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a crystal shop that was still open, this kind of place is generally directly managed and operated by the Crystallist Association, this huge force has a transcendent status in the human world, except for major events that really affect the existence of the entire human race, it has always maintained an absolutely neutral posture, but because of this, the change of regime in one or two countries, wars, disasters, all kinds of turmoil, basically will not have any impression of its operation, of course, no one will be stupid enough to provoke such a terrible force,

Alma is located on the border, basically the southernmost point of human activities, it seems that the Crystallography Association does not pay much attention to this place, the small shop in front of him is not very large, only one floor, it looks extremely ordinary, some inferior magic crystals are randomly placed in boxes of different sizes regardless of type,

There were no customers in the store, only an old crystallist with bad eyes was watching over the shop, and he was napping in a rocking chair.

Since the Quercus can remember, this crystal shop has not changed much, it has been the same scene for more than ten years, and the years have not even left any traces on this old crystallist, he seems to have been so old more than ten years ago,

Quercus picked a small light source crystal, this thing itself can be recharged repeatedly, generally not many people buy in large quantities, and there are not many stocks, mixed with crystals with other functions, Quercus picked a piece from a bunch of colorful magic crystals, it's okay, no matter what the sales are, there is still a surplus inventory,

Although it is a relatively inferior magic energy crystal, the value of such a piece has reached three thousand town gold coins, which is converted into the common currency of the human world, and there are three thousand bells, which is enough for the expenses of an ordinary family for three months.

Although the forest also felt pain, but the situation was special at the time, and it was helpless to lose it, and then it was also to comfort himself, the old one did not go to the new one.

With the newly arrived crystal light source, Quercus once again came to the alleys of the lower city, where the abandoned sewer mouth was private enough, and he was not afraid of being seen by the guards patrolling back and forth or people passing by.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the alley, he suddenly heard something seem to be moving overhead, and as soon as he turned around, he hid behind the wall at the corner, and stretched out his head to look inside.

I saw a petite figure jump down from the roof of the house, and landed firmly on the ground, carrying a bag surrounded by rags behind his back, the momentum of falling from the sky was too strong, and a round bread rolled out of the bag behind him, which seemed to be filled with food,

It was her? Quercher immediately recognized that this was the little girl among the two people he had rescued and disappeared in the desert before.

Why did she end up here? Her whereabouts in the desert were suddenly unknown, and now they met here at this juncture, which made Quercher confused, the Lord's Mansion was attacked by a cult organization before, and at this time, Querca had to associate with those two suspicious people.

The little girl didn't seem to notice the oak forest, turned around and picked up the bread that had fallen on the ground, patted the ash on it, put it back into the cloth bag she was carrying behind her, and then turned over, got into the sewer, and disappeared.

Quercus waited for a while, came to the entrance of the sewer and looked inside, the sewer was pitch black and couldn't see anything clearly,

Just as the little girl should go away, Quercus also turned over and jumped down this abandoned dry sewer,

The terrain of this underground line is extremely complicated, and people who are not familiar with the terrain will get lost even if they hold the map, and they don't know where this little girl ran blindly in the dark.

Zhulin thought that these two people might be cultists, and at this time he was psychologically entangled, and he didn't dare to polish the crystal light source to expose his position for fear of startling the snake, but it was impossible to move forward without a light source in this underground, and he had no idea for a while.

Quercus tried to wrap his clothes tightly around the crystal light source, wrapped it several times, to ensure that the light did not penetrate out, and could only illuminate a little range under his feet, and then carefully watched the surroundings forward, he expected that even if someone else moved in the sewer, it would inevitably set up a light source, as long as he was ready, found it in advance, and sealed the transparent corner of the clothes, he could completely hide his tracks,

After experimenting, the effect is okay, quite satisfying, Quercus slowly advanced a distance lightly and without making a sound, and did not meet another group of people, thinking that maybe they were not on the same route as himself,

After walking for a while, I came to a fork in the road, and to the left is the exit of the sewer, and further on is the underground steam pipeline passage, where the terrain is much wider than here.

Quercus carefully watched the surroundings all the way out of the sewer, and the open terrain around him inexplicably reassured him a lot.

Just about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly heard a sound from the top of his head behind him, just about to turn around, he felt his shoulders sink violently, the whole person was carried by the force to the ground, the moment the tree forest fell, he reacted at once, while the thing behind him was not stable, he rolled on the spot and unloaded most of the strength by the way, and took over the thing that attacked him behind him,

The crystal light source rolled off his hand and rolled down far away, and in a panic, Querca saw clearly that it was a person who attacked him, and the suddenly strengthened light seemed to stimulate the attacker, and the movement of his hand was sluggish, giving Querca half a second to get up, who knew that he had just gotten up and not yet stood firmly, and the attacker struck, and Querca suddenly lost his balance and fell on his back.

The attacker seized the opportunity to pounce and ride under him, and a handful of cold things pressed against his neck.

At this time, the light source crystal stopped rolling and lay there quietly to play its role, and the two saw each other's faces clearly through the light.

The attacker raised an eyebrow,

"Oh, it's you, little brother"
