Chapter 1794 The Underground of the City-State
Old Jack, as his name suggests, looked very old indeed, with gray hair, sunken eyes, and somewhat cloudy eyes.
It looks like he's not in good spirits.
But when he entered the yard, Gu Yuan saw that there were a lot of flowers planted in the corner, and they looked like they were all well taken care of, and Old Jack's house was also clean.
Although he is an old man who lives alone, Old Jack must be a person who loves life very much.
Old Jack hadn't seen Gu Yuan, but when he knew that the sand python meat that Tucker sent over yesterday was all due to the other party, Old Jack still slowly stood up and expressed his gratitude to Gu Yuan.
He was old and alone, that is, Tucker and they often came to help, and the meat that Tucker sent him yesterday was enough for him to eat for a long time.
It's just that Old Jack is old, a little sleepy, and always groggy, Tucker told Gu Yuan that if there is anything to ask, ask quickly, maybe in the next second, Old Jack will fall asleep leaning back in the chair.
What's worse is that in the past two years, Old Jack's mind has also been a little unconscious, and he often talks nonsense, but fortunately he is now sober.
After explaining this, Tucker walked out first.
When he asked Murad and the others about the purpose before, Gu Yuan didn't elaborate, and Tucker knew that it was better for him to know the next conversation between them and Old Jack.
He was also curious, but he didn't want to hear anything he shouldn't know that would cause him trouble.
After Tucker left, Murad crouched in front of Old Jack.
"Old Jack, I know you've been to the inner city before, so I'd like to ask you about the inner city."
"The Inner City? Oh! Mr. Murad, do you want to hear the story of the inner city? That's great! Believe me, Monsieur Murad, the inner city of the city-state is the most beautiful place in the world, and the people who live there are true nobles, and their houses are so beautiful, and even the utensils for their meals are made of the purest silver, and in their flower beds are full of colorful flowers......
"Wait......" Murad was a little headed, "Old Jack, you may have misunderstood, I want to know, that's not the case."
He knew that this was Old Jack's old mistake again, and he must not let the other party continue to talk at this time.
Why did even Brell know that Old Jack knew about the inner city? It's because the other party always likes to make up a story about what he saw and heard in the inner city, for fear that others will not know that he has been to the inner city and worked there.
This seems to be the supreme honor for Old Jack!
There was hardly anyone in the neighborhood who hadn't heard the old stories of Old Jack, and Old Jack was always happy to talk about what he had seen and heard in the inner city when he caught someone in the early years.
In recent years, old Jack's legs and feet have been bad, and there are many fewer opportunities to tell these stories.
Now I see someone taking the initiative to ask, which can be regarded as allowing Old Jack to seize the opportunity.
Old Jack is also known for his good temper, which was interrupted by Murad as soon as he started talking for a long time, and his face was not gloomy, but he just looked at each other curiously.
"Don't you want to know this? What do you want to know?"
Murad was also stunned, and subconsciously turned his face to look at Gu Yuan behind him.
"Ahem, Old Jack, have you seen His Majesty?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Of course!" Old Jack immediately said, "Great Your Majesty, of course I have seen it, it was also in the inner city, that year, His Majesty the King was on a trip, and the floats patrolled the streets......
"Your Majesty, what does it look like? Do you remember?"
"Oh...... His Majesty's appearance, of course, is incomparably handsome and majestic! He was tall and heroic, and to this day, I still remember his heroic appearance!"
Speaking of His Majesty, Old Jack used too many words of praise.
It's like chewing Xuanmai, you can't stop at all.
Gu Yuan didn't know if what the other party said was true or not
, But thinking that the inhabitants of the city-state had a kind of blind worship for His Majesty the King, Gu Yuan still felt that what Old Jack said now was debatable.
"Old Jack, can you give us a description of the terrain of the inner city?" Gu Yuan asked.
When Old Jack heard this, his eyes immediately became vigilant.
"Terrain? Are you going to ...... Are you going to the inner city?"
Gu Yuan chuckled in his heart.
Just as he was thinking about how to explain it, Old Jack laughed.
"I see, you want to sneak into the inner city and sneak a peek at His Majesty's face, right?"
"Ah, yes, yes!" Brell immediately frowned and said, "That's His Majesty! I've only seen statues of His Majesty when I'm so big, and to be honest, I'm really curious about how similar His Majesty is to statues, and you know, it's worth the risk to see His Majesty!"
Old Jack didn't worry that the other party would do anything unfavorable to His Majesty.
In the Land of Sand, everyone respects His Majesty the King from the bottom of their hearts.
How could anyone want to pose a threat to His Majesty?
Moreover, in the eyes of the people of the Land of Sand, His Majesty the King is also an invincible existence.
It is impossible for anyone to pose a threat to His Majesty the King!
"Mr. Murad, I hope you can understand that it is very dangerous for us people to enter the inner city, and if we enter without permission, the guards of the inner city have the right to execute us directly!" Old Jack's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "You have to think clearly."
Murad nodded immediately.
"I think very clearly."
"Looks like you really have a reason to go...... Well, give me a little time, and I can draw you a map of the inner city." Old Jack said with a smile.
Gu Yuan and Murad glanced at each other, and a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
None of them expected that things would go so smoothly.
"If that's the case, that's great!" Murad said immediately.
Gu Yuan was more direct, stuffing the paper and pen into Old Jack's hands.
Then Old Jack sat down in his chair, writing and drawing, his mouth still in pieces.
"The topography of the inner city has long been imprinted in my mind...... I don't even know where their sentry is!"
Hearing this, Murad's heart rejoiced.
If he can really grasp the location of the inner city sentry, then even if it is him, the risk factor of infiltrating the inner city will be minimized!
"This old Jack is really a capable person!" Murad whispered to Gu Yuan beside him.
Gu Yuan looked at Old Jack, who had a quiet look in his eyes, and nodded slightly.
They came to find Old Jack, originally to try their luck, but they didn't expect to have such a big gain.
This is indeed exciting news!
I don't know how long Old Jack will take, Gu Yuan didn't want to waste all his time on this matter, so he stood up and walked to the courtyard.
Murad followed behind him and asked, "Sir, where are you going?"
"Well, I have something to do, I'll be back soon, you just wait for me here." Gu Yuan glanced at Murad and said.
The latter quickly nodded.
But what he didn't expect was that Gu Yuan didn't walk out of the courtyard, but just disappeared in front of his eyes.
"Huh?"
He hurriedly walked to the position where Gu Yuan was standing before, and looked around, really couldn't understand how Gu Yuan disappeared out of thin air.
"Uncle Mu, look at your feet!" Brell suddenly reminded excitedly.
Murad glanced at Breel, looked down suspiciously, looked at his feet, and was surprised to find that there was a hole in the ground at some point.
Before entering the yard
At that time, all he thought about was Fina's safety, but he didn't pay much attention to the environment here.
"Is this hole just now, or did it exist before?" After all, old Jack likes to plant flowers on weekdays, and it doesn't seem uncommon to have a hole in his yard.
"This hole just appeared, I swear! I didn't see this hole until I came in!" Brell said quickly.
Murad was silent for a long time, then shook his head slightly.
He couldn't connect the hole that appeared on the ground with Gu Yuan.
After all, that gentleman with great powers has too many doubts on his body.
However, Murad always believes that at this moment, the other party is firmly on his side.
"No matter what, I'm going to trust Sir." He muttered.
I don't know if I said it to Brell or to myself.
After all, now.
Gu Yuan was already his only hope to save his wife, he didn't think that he really had that much ability!
When he saw Yunsheng before, he thought about using the Escape Technique to take a good look at whether there was really any secret hidden under the underground of this city-state.
Originally, he thought that he would take action after sending Fang Lan to the third block, but he didn't expect that the city-state would not give him this opportunity at all, so he would directly do it to Fang Lan.
It's just that as soon as he entered the ground, Gu Yuan felt a cold aura.
Almost instantly, he realized that he had been locked by a powerful force.
The sound of rustling was accompanied by the sound of rustling.
He slowly closed his eyes, and began to release his divine sense, the sound of the rustling hidden in the ground became clearer, suddenly, his complexion changed suddenly, and without thinking about it, he activated the Yuan Qi in his body, forming a barrier.
Countless things slammed against the barrier with an eerie "tearing" sound.
It's like something is ignited in an instant.
didn't have time to think, Gu Yuan hurriedly re-performed the Escape Technique, escaped from the underground world, and returned to the familiar courtyard, but that cold breath still existed in his body.
He thought back to everything he had just captured with his divine sense, his face solemn, and his eyes were full of shock.
"Sir!"
Gu Yuan suddenly disappeared just now, and suddenly appeared again, startling Murad and Brell who were guarding the courtyard, and when they walked up, they heard Gu Yuan muttering a word.
"Sandworm...... Sandworms everywhere...... Underneath the city-state, there are dense sandworms!"
