Chapter 7 Underground Tunnel (Part II)
Ignoring their conversation, Arouca sat blankly in the middle of the road, clasped his hands on his knees, and buried his head in it. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info hope that when he looks up, he will find himself lying in bed, and he has never been to any damn ruins of the Red Sect. When he first heard about the Red Cult Ruins, he was a little excited, thinking that he could be exposed to things he had never seen before, and that might be even more exciting than the world in the book. But he's not patient anymore, he's never been a patient man. Arouca was not afraid, nor was he desperate, in fact, these emotions were nothing to him. The reason why he was depressed was because he felt very, very, very bored.
That's right, for him death is not terrible, poverty is not terrible, but boring...... It's scary. And trekking underground is undoubtedly an extremely boring experience for any human being. If there's any entertainment, it's to use a sword to cut mutant rats, but it's not as fun as playing whack-a-mole.
But no matter what the outcome is, even if Henry gives up, Aluka will continue to walk. He's the kind of guy who, once he's decided to do something, doesn't waver in the slightest. This is mainly because there are so few things that can make him determined to do it.
After a while, the elder brother Sinon approached Aluca's side, and his red hair looked very strange in the pale green glow of the fluorescent moss. Xinong didn't seem to have any negative emotions at all, and his voice was like a breeze wafting across the hills: "Brother, you don't look very happy, this is not like you." I remember a few years ago on a mission, you were hit by a bandit leader named 'Poison Wolf' with an axe and smiling at the teacher. ”
Aluca sighed and didn't speak.
Xinon chuckled and said, "Don't be so frustrated, if you want me to see, this is a great opportunity." Brother, are you planning to waste your life in Baicao Village? The teacher is old, and he is like that...... But we are still young, and this time we have come into contact with such a big man as the national teacher, as long as the task can be successfully completed, we may be directly given the title by the king. When the time comes, the castle, the territory, and the army will all be at your fingertips!"
Aruka said noncommittally, "That's why you're so excited these days?"
"Isn't this worth the excitement?" said Xinon raising an eyebrow, his breezy voice mixed with grit, "Brother, I know you're much smarter than Jopha, and I won't tell him these things at all, he's destined to be a worthless man." If he hadn't met a teacher, he would have had to work in the wheat fields all his life, find a peasant woman with a bucket waist, and give birth to a few children who are as boring as him. But you're different, you and I ......," Xinong pointed with his finger, "both are people who can do great things, and we are destined to get ahead." I advised you a long time ago not to waste your time reading boring books. With your talent, if you practice swordsmanship seriously, you may be better at swordsmanship than me now. But now it's too late, and we, as men, have to pursue something that we can see and touch, something that we can hold in our hands, something that we can exchange for more things......"
Unlike Jofa, Xinong can be synonymous with a winner in a rich and handsome life. He is also a farmer's descendant, but he looks ten thousand times better than his stubby father and his short, fat and ugly mother, and has a bit of a genetic mutation. More than half of the cardamom girls in the village regard him as the lover of their dreams, and there is no mercenary in Baicao Village in Ludi City who does not know him. After learning some aristocratic etiquette, he was also familiar with the merchants in the mission, and the village chief of Baicao Village often invited him to dinner, which meant that he was entrusted to the family's daughter - although the daughter weighed two hundred catties, but with Xinong's character, he would not refuse. Even if there is no such thing as a national teacher, in a few years, Xinong can become the personal guard of the rich, or enter a large mercenary group. Don't look at the low status of mercenaries, they are inferior compared to knights, but as long as they mix well, they can be richer than knights.
Sinon also had a younger sister named Bellamy, who was sent to the aristocratic school of the Rhine by Sinon at the age of thirteen. For this reason, Xinong owes a lot of money to Ludi City's strongest mafia, the "Gilded Balance", but the boss of the Gilded Balance said that as long as Xinong is willing to join them, the money does not have to be returned. In terms of swordsmanship and ability, Sinong and his teacher Cui Hak are actually not much different, but they still lack some experience brought by years of tempering.
He is a person with strong desires, and at the same time a self-disciplined person, a person who works harder than anyone else, and it is unreasonable for such a person not to succeed. Compared to him, Aluca's future is bleak and his life is hopeless. But even so, Sinong still took a look at Alukagao...... It shows that he is not only hard-working, self-disciplined, self-motivated, but also understands the world. Even if it is a lazy person like Aluca, he will use it as a resource for favors in the future.
What kind of person Sinon is, Aluka knows very well, but he doesn't care. If Xinong treats him well today, he will treat Xinong as his brother. Even if Sinong wants to use him tomorrow, then wait until tomorrow......
"Brother Xinong, I think it's better to think about how to get out of here alive than in the future. Aluka replied to Sinong and stood up. The other eyes were drawn to him, and he raised his voice and said, "Who knows how far we've come?"
Trehack gave him a blank look and said, "I'm afraid only the sun god can know." ”
Henry also came back to his senses, no longer muttered in a delirious voice, and said in a hoarse voice: "At first, I still recorded the date on the back of the book, but there was nothing to refer to, and after a few days I could not continue. ”
"All in all. "We've come a long way, maybe as far as the Principality of Helan to the Rhine Kingdom, do you know what's the point of that?"
Aluka shrugged and said, "It doesn't make sense to know how far you have walked, but it makes sense how long the tunnel really is...... Along the way, we were flanked by either dirt or rock, no different from a normal mine. But I couldn't see a single support, let alone a sign of a collapse. So the question is, why won't such a long tunnel collapse without support to support it?"
Several people looked at each other, speechless. Actually, they didn't even think about it. After being silent for a long time, National Master Henry spoke: "I want to ...... This is presumably the power of the sun god. ”
This may sound unbelievable, but it's good news, and it at least raises the possibility of the existence of the Helios Relics.
"That's what I thought, and I can't think of any other explanation. That being the case, we can no longer look at this path with normal thinking. Aluka was reluctant to admit that there were gods, but the path was more strange than he had imagined, "If there really is a relic of the sun god here, will he have a few red-eyed rats to guard it? I guess there may be no end to it, or even a turning back. ”
