Chapter 283: Underground Waterways
"All right, Miss Elizabeth, we are out now, can you tell me now where we are going?Elizabeth, I think I should have the right to know what we are going to do, or what will I gain if I just go on adventures with you?"
"I'm a Christian, not a heretic, you are unexpected to me, but it doesn't make me rebel against God, I hope you can tell me something, I can know, even if it's just a little bit, it won't make me like a child looking for a toy, naively follow you in pursuit of what you want, and at the end of the day, I don't know what you're after?"
As the two of them left the vicinity of the House of the Sea, Nader stopped, and by the way, blocked Elizabeth's way, he was fed up with being kept by Elizabeth from everything he wanted to know, and just did what Elizabeth wanted, and as a scholar, he felt that he had the right, and that he had to know, where Elizabeth was going to let her out so late.

Elizabeth was blocked by Nader, and according to her strength, it was easy to jump over or put Nader down, but in the face of the stubborn old man in front of her, Elizabeth knew that if she didn't tell Nader, then Nader might never be sincere enough to help herself.
This reminded Elizabeth of a long memory, at that time, wasn't it precisely because she sealed everything in her heart and was unwilling to let others bear it with her, that the person who trusted herself beyond her beliefs finally died?
Thinking of this, Elizabeth looked at Nader and whispered two words that surprised Nader.
"Underground. ”
"Underground, we're going underground, uh, are you going to the sewers?"
Nader felt that he was in a trance under the city of Rome, and the impression he left on Nader was that the sewers in the city connected to the canals outside the city in all directions, and this was Nader's only impression of the underground of Rome, and his impression of the city of Rome was more of the churches, sculptures and libraries on the ground, as for the underground, except for rats and some unsightly things, what else.
"Your statement is not accurate, but it is not wrong, Nader, the sewers, is exactly one of our stops on the way to our destination. Elizabeth didn't explain much, some things, compared to verbal descriptions, reality is actually more moving, Elizabeth believes that as long as Nader really sees the truth, all the problems now will be solved.
After speaking, Elizabeth jumped lightly, jumped directly from the ground to Nader's shoulder, and then jumped vertically, and reached the ground, turned her head to look at Nader, and said softly and quickly: "What are you waiting for, Nader, in 5 minutes, the guards will pass by here, do you want to be arrested, come with me, we don't have much time." ”
"Guard, Elizabeth, how do you know the time the guards have passed?" Nader asked as he ran to Elizabeth, but it was obviously a stupid question, and as soon as Nader asked, he thought of Elizabeth lying in the window and looking out of the room whenever night came.
It turned out that Elizabeth had been observing the time of the soldiers guarding and rotating in the city for half a month, and after thinking about this, Nader couldn't help but have more expectations for the place where Elizabeth was about to take him, with Elizabeth's strength, she had to be so cautious and careful, what would this secret be?
Thinking of this, I didn't hear Elizabeth answer her own questions, and followed Elizabeth, a man and a dog kept passing through one building after another, along the way, except for some homeless wanderers and drunkards who fell to the ground drunk, and did not know what to do, there was really not a single soldier who did not see it, and after a while, the two men came to a river, and Elizabeth immediately stopped.
"About 5 meters below the river, it's one of the entrances to the sewers of Rome, Nader, you can swim. Elizabeth listened to Nader, who was panting, and looked at the river that was calm like a mirror, reflecting the moonlight, and said calmly to Nader.
"Phew, whew, Miss Elizabeth, do we have to enter the sewers through this entrance?"
Nader panted non-stop, as an old man, running, such a physically exhausting thing, for him, is really consuming his life, just stopped, Nader was ready to take a break, walk two steps to slow down his breath, Elizabeth's words, suddenly made Nader a little unacceptable.
It's late autumn now, the river is very cold, and Nader knows his own body, jumping from here, and then shuttling through the dark and damp sewers in his soaked clothes, Nader feels that he may have to let the dirty sewers have more corpses like this, so Nader instinctively resists what Elizabeth said.
In particular, there is not only one entrance to the sewers in Rome City, there are dozens of them that Nader has seen in the past few days, and most of them are exposed to the sun, since there is such a convenient passage, why go to the river to find the entrance, Nader is really a little unacceptable.
"Nader, after we get our things, we still have to leave the sewers and go back to the city of Rome, if we pry open the entrances in the streets, and we go in, what do you think they will think if they see one of the entrances being pried open tomorrow morning, and how will they find out who has entered the sewers?
And here, they only check 4 times a year, even if we cut all the iron fences on this passage, by the time the soldiers in Rome find out, we will already be in Rome, for safety reasons, we have to go to a place that is not easy to be discovered, Nader, believe me, hurry up. “
After Elizabeth finished speaking this time, she didn't go alone like just now, but looked at Nader, waiting for him to make a decision, obviously, Elizabeth at this time has some so-called team spirit, but can this spirit be developed?
It's really hanging.
Looking at Elizabeth's eyes, Nader had to say that Elizabeth's thinking was very reasonable, but looking at the cold river water in the moonlight, the bones of his whole body were gurgling against it, and the blood felt like it was being put in the cold room, and his body was telling him that he was choking when he jumped, but.
"What the hell. ”
Taking a deep breath and finding the direction of the sewer entrance, Nader didn't stop doing anything, and a beautiful splash disappeared in front of Elizabeth, and there was no trace except for the ripples in the river that could prove that Nader had ever existed.
In the end, the truth is more precious in Nader's life than his own life.
Looking at the rippling water, Elizabeth smiled in her heart, it seems that the person who chose her future guardian was not too bad, and then, Elizabeth also took a vertical leap, jumped into the deserted river, and disappeared.
Two minutes later, a group of guards passed by where Elizabeth and Nader were, but they found nothing, and without even stopping, they left the uninhabited place and walked towards the rest of the world.
As soon as he jumped into the water, the cold and biting water of the river made his brain freeze, until the temperature of the blood stimulated the skin surface, Nader regained the control of his brain over the body, endured the cold river water, and quickly went downstream, and soon, Nader found the entrance to the sewer along the current, but at this time, he remembered that he didn't seem to have the tools to pry open, iron.
But of course this was not a problem, when the question just came out of Nader's mind, and before it was too late to make Nader nervous, Elizabeth arrived at Nader's side, and as a burst of light dissipated, the dozen or so iron pillars became a pile of scrap metal, which was piled up in a corner of the sewer entrance, no different from the ore that had just been mined.
Obviously, these iron fences were used by Elizabeth to raise the temperature of iron to the melting point with some ability, and finally combined with water to become a pile of scrap iron on the ground, Nader saw this, only felt magical, but did not think too much, since Elizabeth appeared in his own world, Nader has constantly seen and felt Elizabeth's extraordinary, so it is not unusual for him to be able to fuse steel.
What's more, in the river water, the body's oxygen is limited, Nader just wants to hurry ashore now, as for the principle and the relationship with God, Nader doesn't want to care, after a while, the two of them have entered the sewer one after the other, and in the little light released by Elizabeth, they swam forward.
"Whew, I can finally breathe. ”
After a minute and thirty seconds, Nader breathed fresh air again, although the smell of the air was a little not good, but being able to get oxygen was enough for Nader, especially after swimming in the sewer, this satisfaction was even higher.
Nader took a few breaths, and after letting his brain, which was about to run out of oxygen, get enough oxygen again, he paddled his feet to keep himself balanced in the water, and at the same time checked the environment where he was now, in the absence of lights, this kind of observation, even under Elizabeth's observation, was very laborious, and only through constant observation and the sounds around him could Nader judge where they were now.
Now in front of them was a huge waterfall, and he and Elizabeth were at the bottom of this waterfall, and the environment in which they were located was a cylinder, and it was clear that this drain, the entrance to the sewer, was built under the sewer to facilitate the drainage.
Elizabeth was lying on Nader's shoulder, her body was too small for her to be as powerful as her own magic, and after a long time in the water, Elizabeth felt that her body was about to freeze, and her two front paws could not paddle the water, so she could only rest on Nader's shoulder.
However, as a dog, he is still a puppy, although his body is not as strong as that of humans, but in terms of vision and smell, Elizabeth is not a little or two points higher than Nader, so when Nader was struggling to find a way out of the predicament in front of him, Elizabeth had already found a way for them to escape.
"Nader, you see there's a handle, we can climb up the water along the other side. ”
Elizabeth raised her front paws, touched Nader's cheek like old bark, and then pointed to the direction where Nader's handle was, in the dark, Nader naturally found it difficult to see the things around him, but for Elizabeth, Nader still maintained a certain degree of trust, since she pointed it out, Nader also swam in that direction, and soon, on the greasy wall, grabbed an iron handle, which was embedded in the cement, Nader grabbed it again, and there was another.
Apparently, it was made for the workers working in the sewers to go up and down the stairs.
"Hey, it's cold. ”
As soon as he climbed to the top, a strong wind rushed towards Nader, and his soaked clothes matched with the strong wind, Nader immediately shivered in place, like a mechanical dog, and the joy of escaping in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Elizabeth on the side shook her body, and then a burst of heat emanated from Elizabeth's hair, and after a while, Elizabeth, who was still wet, regained her dryness, and then Elizabeth walked in front of Nader, and there was a flash of light in her eyes, and Nader only felt that the coldness in her frozen bones just now seemed to have never appeared.
The whole body felt hot, and the sludge and smell carried on his body were also repelled into the surrounding air in this heat, and soon, Nader's clothes returned to their original gray, and countless dirty things on his head fell to the ground, and his hair was also restored to neatness.
"Are you feeling better?" asked Elizabeth.
"Much better. Hearing Elizabeth's concern, Nader immediately turned his head, looked at Elizabeth, nodded, and said affirmatively.
Looking at himself, Nader couldn't help but think of his own worries just now, if Elizabeth knew about it, he would definitely laugh at himself.
"Then let's go. Elizabeth nodded, turned around, and ran forward, while Nader on one side was stunned, looking at the farther and farther light, and not thinking about anything more, so he ran towards the place where the light was. (To be continued.) )
