Chapter 31: The Adventure of the Sewers
Leah slowly moved forward with the light shining from her shield.
Although the brightness of the illumination was good, compared to the endless darkness, it looked like a firefly in the night.
She took every step carefully, as if if she didn't do so, she would be swallowed up by the darkness around her.
It was an artificial labyrinth, and in the silence she could only hear the sound of tiny rodents making a soot, as if to remind her that this was their territory.
The humid air was filled with a depressing smell, and the slippery stone path beneath your feet continued into the dark depths.
"It's dark...... And I don't know the ...... way."
Leah sighed, and the news stated that Warriff had disappeared into the sewers of the main city. However...... It's as complicated as a spider's web, and she has to search aimlessly.
The dim and hazy underground, the winding roads, and the unchanging scene constitute a world that seems to make people go crazy after a long time.
"If I continue like this, let alone find Warriff, I'm afraid I'll get lost. ”
Leah sighed helplessly.
She decided to go deeper and if she couldn't find any clues, she would go back to the surface first, at least get a map of the sewers.
Whew!
"Huh?"
Just then, a strange voice came from the darkness in the distance.
She raised her weapon and cautiously stepped forward. It stands to reason that there are at most some giant rats in the sewers that have mutated from the residue of potions. However, little Lori understands that since this is the place where Warriff disappeared. Then there must be something far more terrifying than a mouse.
Step by step, gradually, the place where the sound came out was already in sight. Over there. What she saw was......
"What......"
Lying on the ground was the corpse of a dead mouse, the size of a cat mutated by the remains of potions.
"It's ......"
With the help of the light on the shield, she clearly saw that the rat's abdomen was torn and blood was running on the stone-paved pavement.
[The wound is a sharpened weapon...... No, it looks more like it was torn apart by a claw. The blood hadn't clotted yet, and it looked like the attack had happened not long ago. 】
Moment. Little Lori felt a chill in her back. It looks like the guy who tore the rat is nearby.
She looked around, but there was nothing to see in the dark sewers.
Let's go, whatever that guy is. Maybe it can tell me about the trail of Voriv. 】
Leah thought about it for a moment and decided to move on.
However, just as she took the first step, there was a movement above her head.
[Oh no, above!?]
The girl looked up. See in the dark. A massive creature was lunging at her, with green eyes, black body hair, and sharp teeth and claws.
Rumble!
The monster slammed into the girl with a huge impact.
"Werewolf ......"
The sudden blow was completely unexpected by the girl, but unfortunately, in such an unsettling environment, Leah would never fail to put a magic shield on herself. She raised her shield, and the light illuminated the form of the enemy, a black werewolf.
"Whew-!!"
See the failure of the raid. The other party showed a hint of surprise. Then he roared in the sky, his voice echoing through the sewers. Spread far away.
"Call for reinforcements?"
Leah charges forward, trying to end the battle before enemy reinforcements arrive.
However, the enemy is cunning, and he uses his claws to jump up and down, sometimes to the ceiling, sometimes to the back of the girl.
"Trouble is dead!"
Eventually, Leah grabbed the other party with the mage's hand and threw him to the ground. The girl held a short sword and stabbed at the werewolf lying on the ground.
【!?】
However, at this moment, a slight fluctuation bloomed in the air, it was a stealthy enemy! Leah didn't expect the other party's companion to arrive so quickly. White claws flashed and grabbed the girl's short sword.
"Wait! it's me, Leah!"
Just as the girl was about to make a "take-off" with the other party, her familiar voice came from the mouth of the silver-white werewolf.
"Voriv!?"
It's too dark here, so little Lori didn't recognize the other party's identity in the first place.
"Ah, it's me, how did you get here?"
However, for the fat thief with the half-orc gene, night vision was not a problem, so he recognized Leah in an instant.
"You still ask me, how can we not come to you when we hear that you are missing? ”
Little Lori said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But I can't help it, if these guys didn't have my help, I'm afraid they would have been killed by the vampires these days. ”
Vorif raised his chin at the werewolf not far away.
"It's ...... What's going on?"
Little Lori is completely confused, why are there werewolves in the sewers.
"The details are more complicated, we talked as we walked, I'm afraid the fight here has already been discovered by those vampires. ”
Vorif motioned for the maiden, and the werewolf who had just gotten up, to follow him.
"If you want to talk about why I'm here, it's when I run away from the slave market. ”
On the way, Warriff said to Leah:
"When we fled from the slave market, the city was heavily guarded at first, and there were soldiers hunting us down. However, for about half a month, although the guard continued, I could feel that the guards were not searching for us escaped 'slaves', but someone else.
While this was good news, I was curious as to what the lords were looking for, so in addition to looking for traces of Brotham and evidence of the lords' service to the vampires, I began to follow the search party in the city. ”
Speaking of which, Warriff grinned.
"You...... What a daring ......."
Little Lori didn't know what to say, for other infiltrators, these search teams were afraid to avoid, but the fat thief actually paid attention to them.
"Hehe, the most valuable intelligence is often in the most dangerous places. Guess where the search parties go the most?"
"Sewers?"
Leah asked.
So I followed them to this hellish place. Can you imagine that the reason why they didn't care about capturing us runaway 'slaves' was because another group had sneaked into the main city. ”
Warriff said excitedly.
"What do you mean......"
Leah seemed to understand something. ???: "That's right, Vorif is referring to us." Welcome to 'Silver Fangs', lovely little miss. ”
In the darkness of the distance, a deep voice rang out. (To be continued.) )
