Homecoming Interlude (11)

Kyūka Hall.

The white spire is bathed in sunlight, imprinting its power and shadow, loneliness and fear on the ground.

The second time I came to this place, I still didn't like it. Sunshadow looked coldly, and the monks and knights of the Sect who were alerting him to his arrival were speechless.

"What? Lao Tzu killed you all. "Micah's temper has never been angry, and the discomfort of being subjected to this kind of vigilance directly exploded.

"You are not welcome here, please leave. A gray-clad middle-aged monk who seemed to be their master snorted coldly, choosing to ignore Micah's rudeness.

"I didn't know that an open-door temple to educate the people would knock the believers out of the door. Robert scoffed.

"I didn't know that the believer would raise the butcher's knife to his indocter. The gray-robed middle-aged monk retorted unflinchingly.

"Okay, okay, calm down. Edward stood between the two sides, trying to mediate. "Xiu, you just don't say a few words. It's nice if they're willing to come and see it. This Lord Robert has a lot of research on medical care. It's too late for your courtesy, why are you still rushing people up? Edward pointed to the other monks and knights of the Church and continued. "They are not sensible, and are you not sensible?"

"Whoever asked them to heal was originally the one who cut off Deacon Ador's hand!" When a young monk on the side heard this, he immediately said dissatisfied.

"Xiu didn't tell you, did Ador attack Lord Sunshadow first? Edward asked the Greyfriar. "People don't know, you should know the consequences of using that. Is it Crow?"

The grayfriar Crow nodded helplessly, and politely said to Sunshadow and the others, "Please, several." Deacon Adore was in the bedroom, and things weren't too good. ”

Several people followed Xiu towards the hall, leaving behind a bustling discussion of people. The bedroom is not far from the study, and the last time the sun shadow didn't have time to look at it, this time it was just in the bright light.

The furnishings of the bedroom are also very simple and neat, clean and a little clean. There are some strange souvenirs on the shelves, including children's handies, handmade ugly puppets, and a few books, which seem to contain objects containing memories.

At this time, Adore did not seem to be aware of their visit, and he was suffering from some kind of pain on the soft white bed, moaning intermittently. The blood on his arm had not yet dried up, and blood was oozing from the white gauze.

"Didn't you invite anyone else to come? Edward asked.

"Originally, the bleeding stopped, so it was nothing serious. But suddenly there were some strange changes, and I asked someone to take a look, and I didn't know what the situation was, and the situation of my body took a sharp turn for the worse, and I was still unconscious and talking nonsense. Crowe said worriedly.

"What a change. Robert asked, looking closer

"See for yourself. Crowe closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to look at the amazing changes anymore.

When the servant heard Crow's words, he immediately removed the bedding that had been placed on Adol. For a moment, the group was stunned. What kind of strange change is this? Is this still the same normal deacon who used to be slender and good-looking?

It was hard to tell what kind of change it was, an eerie pale green was spreading upwards from Adore's feet, the calves were already covered, and the arms were spreading upwards from the palms of the hands to the arms, mixed with the scarlet blood, which was particularly glaring. There was also a faint hint of silver light on these pale greens, as if they could be two pieces that could refract light.

Robert walked over to the bed and examined it carefully, his face full of bewilderment. He turned back to the crowd and said. "It's fish scales. ”

"How is it possible, how can a normal person have fish scales?" asked Edward and Mi Jian at the same time.

"What do you think, Shadow?" Robert looked at Sunshadow.

Walking in, the shape of the tiny fish scales can be clearly recognized, they are densely covered with the original smooth skin, very obedient, and when there is a moan, there will be a slight shaking.

"Who else has been here today?" asked Krow.

"There was also a young man from the town who sent people back. When I sent it back, it was fine, but I don't know when it suddenly became like this, and I wanted to ask the general to take a look when I was helpless. Crowe recalled.

"You think it's poisoned?" Robert thought intuitively as he heard Sunshadow ask.

"I just think this is more likely, before I cut off his arm, he was still normal, and my Hidden Blade does not have the ability to mutate people, and I have never heard of such a case, and his current situation has a chance to take advantage of it. The likelihood of poisoning is number one. Sunshadow nodded.

"Speaking of which, I said there was something strange in the mine, and it seems that something similar happened once, but then he died, and there was nothing left on him. Edward said suddenly.

"This whole thing may have something to do with the ore vein, let's put it down here and go to the ore vein to see if there are any clues. Sunshadow led the group to leave, and said to Robert. "Luo, take care of him, Mi Jian stay with him. Robert, who had wanted to leave together, thought about it and nodded.

Vein.

It wasn't too far from the Catholic Hall, where Miga and Mijian had followed Adol from. The entrance to the vein is hidden, no longer in the conventional perception, and the ingenious design below the surface is covered with rock mass, if you don't find it up close, you will think that it has disappeared out of thin air.

And the entrance is relatively narrow, and a few people just barely pass. Just when the Japanese Shadow and the others felt that the vein was narrow and Kenben did not look like a development, it was as if they had entered another dimension after walking another ten meters.

It's like stepping into a sea of stars. When the night is shrouded, countless sparkling stars are accompanied, brighter than gemstones, more brilliant than lights, sometimes scattered, sometimes clustered, as if in the ocean, floating around the body, unable to grasp, and disorienting.

Except for Edward, who was accustomed to seeing the beautiful scenery in front of him and was not surprised in the slightest, the rest of the people were stunned by the sudden appearance of the starry sea in front of them.

"Beautiful. Edward asked triumphantly, but then the conversation changed, "When I first came here, I was also fascinated by the beauty of this place. But when you see it every day and find that this is a place that eats people without blinking, you won't feel that this place is beautiful. ”

Edward's words made several people take their hearts away.

"I don't think this cave is dug by man, but more like a natural formation?" asked Melson.

If it weren't for the magic of nature, how could it be possible to dig such a huge project by manpower alone, if it wasn't for the fact that it was underground, it would be outside the vast wilderness, looking up at the countless sea of stars. Around the ground were glowing fireflies. But there are a lot of utensils piled up here, and I can't help but ask Melson again.

Although the viscount had an inexplicable hostility towards him, Edward still admired him when he thought that the viscount was still the younger brother of the paladin, and immediately responded. "Yes, the Viscount is right. ”

Melson has always ignored this inexplicable flattery. But Edward continued, not minding.

"As you can see, more than 90 percent of this mine is natural, and we do less than 10 percent. This is true not only of the mine in front of you, but also of several adjacent mines. And this naturally formed underground space is very large, the system is very complex, and we don't even know how much space we have explored, and how big this space is. ”

"Didn't anyone investigate?" asked Mott.

"Of course it was sent, but no one ever came back, and I don't even know if I'm alive or dead. Gradually, no one dared to go any further. You can only give up. Thinking that mining existing hedron can also be gained, and there is no need to blindly lose it. Edward said. "But, in reality, even if the existing places are mined, there are also losses in personnel. But because of the slow speed, the loss is not too great, but the recent accumulation of Ador has cost us a lot of people. ”

"How did it all get damaged? Isn't it just mining?" asked Miga disdainfully.

"There are many reasons, some people get lost and starve to death in the mines, some die in falling rocks, and some ......," Edward said with some hesitation.

"How did you get the hedron out steadily?" asked Sunshadow, seeing through the hesitation.

In the face of Edward's silence, Sunshadow continued. "Is it employing people?"

Edward's face was shocked again, and he asked in surprise. "How do you know?"

"Employing people?" Seeing Edward's shocked expression, the other three were confused, didn't everything use human luck? "What does that mean. Melson asked.

They do say differently. Because of some cruel behavior, normal people don't even imagine it.

"It's for them to swallow. Sunshadow said flatly. "I don't know the purpose of the spars, but in the case of instability, it is best to use boxes made of insulation materials, but the production of the boxes is not large, and it is not easy to move too much so as not to affect the stability of other spars, so they are basically placed in the barracks, the black warehouse you see, but before it needs to be moved from here to the barracks. The best solution is to swallow it, a natural insulating material that is more suitable than a box, and more suitable than a box to move around in a place full of other elements. The reason why the entrance is so narrow is that there is no need for wide aisles, no cars, no boxes, only people can pass through. ”

"How do you get it out?" asked Miga, stunned.

"Are you idiot?" said Melson, who tapped Micha on the head, "how else can you get out, either up or down, or horizontally." Which do you think is better?"

"None of them are good. It's fucking disgusting. Miga touched his head aggrievedly and said, it was rare that he did not fight back against Melson.

"Natural insulation materials are not 100% safe, there will always be times when they will appear, especially when this natural material is not obedient, right? Sunshadow looked at Edward coldly.

"Really, Edward, did you do something that is inferior to a pig or a dog?" asked Mott, disappointed.

Edward hurriedly explained, "They are all death row prisoners, and there are some soldiers, we really didn't arrest the residents or girls in the town, we are also soldiers of the empire, and we will not harm the people under our rule." You trust me. ”

"You're embarrassed to say it. "Mott was angry, angry at the trust that had been deceived.

"Mott. Sunshadow shouted, reassuring in her voice. "He shouldn't have lied. ”

Fear is rife in the town, but fortunately, you can see healthy townspeople along the way.

"But General Edward, did you know that there are no impermeable walls in the world, and that you can turn a blind eye to the fear and depression in the town?"

He is no longer the young soldier who only thinks about serving the country loyally, and has long forgotten his pity for the people. He had always known the fear of the people of the town, and it was he who was bent on spreading fear and expanding it, using fear as the best weapon to cover the entire town. But at this moment, in the face of Sun Shadow's cold question and answer, he felt that he couldn't open his mouth.
