Chapter 48: Rescue
"In the sewers of the Rhine, there are no real people. ”
- "The Guardian" Tigers Galanz
The Sewers is a gang in Loraine City, and gangs are common, but there are few like the Sewers. Some people say that they are the most terrifying gang in Loland City, and even the Rhine Empire can't do anything about them. These people will tattoo a small droplet tattoo on their body as a mark, some of them are very obvious, and some of them are very hidden.
And the name "sewers" comes from their original stronghold. While the Rhine was the largest city on the continent, the city had arguably the most advanced and even grandest drainage system in the world at the time. The vast underground world of brick and stone has become a cancer that the Rhine Empire cannot reach, attached to the great city of Loraine.
At first, it was said that the sewers were a gathering place for beggars, but it is not known whether the beggars formed a gang or a group of ruffians who controlled the group of beggars. In short, this paradise for the homeless and beggars has slowly become a territory for gangsters and fugitives, and it is now impossible to say what kind of group this intricate organization is.
No one is a ghost, and Jack really can't think of how to describe what he saw. The group followed the bald man at the end of the alley in the corner of a cul-de-sac, where there was a cave half on the ground and half on the wall. Teggs said he could go down, but the sewers weren't as scary as he thought.
It turns out that Teggs is talking about the organization, not the scene in the sewers. As the fat man entered, Jack and the others followed, and just glared at the ragged guy guarding a dozen torches at the door, he got four torches, and after dropping a few silver coins, Tegus led everyone to follow behind the fat man blatantly. It's in nothing to hide, people can see it as soon as they turn around, it's better to pretend to be generous.
Jack held the torch and followed behind Tigers, as the two best outstretched out, Tiger and Justin protected Jack and John in the middle, Tigers seemed to have been here before so it was fine, but the sight in front of him was enough to shock Jack and the three of them.
It was like coming to hell, and the foul-smelling water of the river flowed between the masonry on both sides, almost parallel to the masonry, and the stinking water would ripple up from time to time. Rats can be found almost everywhere, and if you hold the torch high, you can find bats in the corner.
The man in a burlap bag was curled up against the wall, his body was as thin as a dried corpse, and he couldn't see the human form at all, and Jack, who was vomiting forcibly, smelled the stench and held a torch to look at a fat man across the stinky water. He also sat against the wall, and he seemed to be eating well.
When he walked directly across from the fat man, Jack saw clearly by the light of the fire that it was a rotting and swollen corpse, its stomach had been scratched open by rats, and maggots and teachers were gnawing on carrion.
The chain reaction caused by this spit was that Justin and John also vomited, and Tiger looked at the bald fat man in front of him who didn't look back, frowned, and stopped Justin, who was about to rush over with his sword and was about to rush over to fight quickly, shook his head, signaling everyone to be patient a little longer.
Finally, the fat man turned a corner, and along the way, Jack and the others had a long memory, and resolutely did not look at what was in the water or on the other side, if there was also one on his own side, then he could only pass quickly, as long as he could not see the arms and torso floating in the river from time to time, it was better than anything else.
There are many sources for these corpses, at least a considerable number of them are from noble families, and I am afraid that this is one of the reasons why the sewers have not been thoroughly disposed of so far. As the fat man turned the corner and came to another road, there was not much of the stenching black water here, and the smell could be slightly lighter.
Looking at the bald fat man's figure, Teggs became more and more sure of what he thought in his heart, this guy was probably a fool. But as he turned the corner again, in a place like a dead end, and saw the corpses hanging densely on the wall, Tiger began to doubt his judgment again.
From the time the stench suddenly began to stench again, several people knew that there must be corpses nearby, but they didn't expect so much. Watching the fat man lift a figure out of a wooden fence, Justin recognized it as Vito.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom. "The sound of several swords unsheathed at the same time, the corpses hanging above their heads are all children, and the waterways under their feet should be stinky water, but there is no stinky water here, and the corpses on the waterways are all adults, although I don't know why there are so many corpses here, but it is important to save Vito first.
As several people drew their swords, the bald fat man did not look back, and even hummed an unknown tune to put Vito on a workbench, and the bloodstained and rusty tools were shocking to the watchers.
"Let him go. As several people came behind the bald fat man, Tegus said threateningly.
It can be seen that the fat man's figure is slightly stagnant, and he does not speak, Jack and the others look at each other, and Justin swallows his saliva and is about to say a few words.
The bald man spun around sharply, and he was followed by a hammer he wielded. The fat man turned from right to left, and Justin, who was standing on the far right, bore the brunt of it, dragging John and jumping backwards, as his feet fell into the feeling of something, Justin tried to restrain himself from looking back to see what he had stepped on, and set up his double swords to meet it.
At this time, the fat man's chain hammer was swinging in front of Jack and Tigers, and the two of them were far away enough to dodge. At the same time as Justin caught up, the fat man's chain hammer had already swung back, this heavy weapon full of uncertainty no one wanted to block hard, but fortunately, this hammer smashed into the blade of Justin's sword.
Justin, who felt a tingling in the tiger's mouth, did not hesitate, and as soon as his body turned, another gold-filled gauntlet stabbing sword was replenished without hesitation.
With the sound of "bell", Justin watched the fat man grab his bayonet sword with one hand, looking at the iron gauntlet in the fat man's hand Justin couldn't figure out why the fat man was so flexible, as the fat man's wrist pulled the sword upward, Justin felt that the hilt of the sword in his hand seemed to be out of his control and pressed down, followed by the chain hammer whistling from the side of his head.
Justin had to give up his bayonet and dodge backwards, although he dodged the blow, but his bayonet was held by the fat man against the wall behind him with one hand, and his wrist was forced. Justin could only watch his fat man's hand break, no matter how good the steel was, after all, the slenderness of the bayonet was there, which was also one of the shortcomings of the bayone.
