After passing through the passage dug by Lin's artificiality, the scene presented in the eyes of the two was a bit unexpected for the two.

"Isn't this our Nazca City sewer?"

After all, Qasim lived in Nazca City, and since he hadn't been promoted or been a soldier, he had never been on a mission in the sewers, so he recognized the scene in front of him at a glance.

"Damn, do those guys want to do anything to the city!?"

"Calm down, things may not be as simple as you think. Lin condensed a water balloon and smashed it directly on the head of Qasim, who drew his sword out of the sheath, "Think clearly, what is your task now, you don't have the right to be impulsive - and now the other party has been discovered by us before the actual action, and the situation is our advantage." ”

Fortunately, Kasim is not a rookie anymore, and he has experienced a lot of things, and he doesn't like to see the second head of the middle school, but he keeps panting to calm his mood at the moment.

"Conspiracy and intrigue are very damaging and dangerous, but as long as they are exposed to the sun, they are hardly a threat...... We, no, should say that what you have to do, is try to find these rats hiding in the shadows. We must remember that we do not have the ability to directly stop such a huge conspiracy, so don't be impulsive, and prioritize protecting your own life, do you know the way?"

Lin was indeed quite worried that the young officer in front of her would put his life on the spur of the moment - judging from the information she had discovered so far, the situation was so complicated and far larger than she had imagined. If you want to rely on the strength of two people to stop it, it's a fool's dream. Fortunately, Qasim's brain is not stupid, and after a little thought, he figured out the key to it.

"Understood. Putting the information I found in the hands of those above is far more important than dying here and no one knows......"

"It's nice that you can understand. ”

After Qasim calmed down. I also began to notice that something was wrong.

The underground waterways of Nazca City have always been taken seriously, and the cleaning, cleaning and daily patrols of the sewers have never been interrupted, and Qasim also knows that the underground waterways that are unfamiliar to ordinary residents are actually far less mysterious than they think - at least in the eyes of the soldiers who patrol frequently, there is no mystery in the legends of those street corners.

Originally, Qasim thought that the evil mages who manipulated the undead monsters were planning to use the unknown monster to transport the undead in order to occupy the city's underground waterways. But think about it. I think it's unlikely-if you can break the door directly, then what do you have to call "SF Express" for? Judging from Lin's sudden appearance before, the other party can directly send those undead to the city, why bother to occupy the sewers?

"So what do we do now?"

"Personally, I have some speculation, but after all, we are not the ones who are actually dealing with this, and we need evidence to convince them. ”

Although Lin has her own guesses in her heart, there is no way to confirm it now.

"How do you find it?"

Kassim, who had no clue at all, asked.

"Follow me. ”

......

To others, necromancers have always been a mysterious and hateful group, but these guys have a good way of hiding their whereabouts.

For Lynn, however. The smell of the necromancer's body that was tainted with the smell of the undead could not be hidden, no matter how many means were used to hide it, unless he abandoned the necromancy. Otherwise, there was nothing to hide in front of Rin's eyes—an exception for a girl who claimed to be a necromancer, but Lin couldn't feel the aura of necromancy in her at all.

"Is this it...... Another one. ”

None of the expected scenarios happened – the entire underground waterway was empty. There are neither vicious necromancer monsters nor sinister necromancers, but there are traces left behind. Lynn found several markers that didn't make any real sense.

Although these magic marks are very hidden, they rely on their innate sensing ability. It took Lynn a long time to find the markings one by one.

"Kassim, you say, why do these guys go to great lengths to make a mark that doesn't work?"

"I don't know magic...... Perhaps, it's going to be used for some kind ......of large-scale magic?

"It's impossible, the people of the Mage Guild are not stupid, and it is a fool's dream to do these things under their noses in the hope that they will not be discovered—you will not understand, a group of magic-obsessed dead houses have a sharper instinct for magic than a beast in a hunt. What's more, this is just a mark, and the magic contained in it is pitifully small, how can it be used to set up a large-scale magic......"

What Lin cares about more is the eerie silence here today.

According to Qasim, there are soldiers who come to patrol and clean up the area every day, but after all this time, Lin has not seen a single person.

[It seems that because of the many things that have happened during this time, there is no extra manpower to deal with the sewers?] Terrorist attacks in the city, the security of border checkpoints, and the need for manpower to maintain law and order for trade gatherings...... I always feel that the first two behaviors are like petty fights, and I can't hurt my muscles and bones. 】

How can such a blatant provocation of the Empire be the only capable of this?

"Could it be that what we did before was just to distract the garrison and people's attention?"

But what was the matter with the marvelous creature that could travel through the earth? and why had to go to such great lengths to dig an underground cavern next to the underground waterway? and, if it was only for the sake of combining the two sites, it would not be necessary to make the distance between the two nearly a hundred meters long, which would be a great inconvenience.

“......”

"What's the matter, did you find anything?"

Seeing that Lin suddenly turned to leave, Qasim hurriedly chased after her.

"There should be the last mark left, if I'm not mistaken......" Lin looked towards the source of the last breath, impartially, the mark was in the position that Lin had expected.

"Ahh ”

Lynn's face couldn't have been darker.

"Isn't it strange that the passage we passed through before was to make that underground cave a hundred meters away from here?"

Lynn asked Kassim, and received an expected answer.

"At first, I didn't figure it out, but now, seeing the location of these markers, I suddenly understand - because this is the way they retreat, in order to ensure their safety, a distance of 100 meters is actually not too much. ”

"Retreat?"

Qasim was a little puzzled by Lynn's statement.

"The creature that can only be used to deliver couriers is obviously not very obedient, otherwise I wouldn't have been brought to you for no reason, and let me discover this place - the act of scurrying out of the surface in the middle of the way is clearly not in the manipulator's thoughts. They can use it to get to the underground waterways, but they may not be able to be on call when they need to leave. ”

"So do you need a stable and reliable retreat route? So, here, in this side of the underground waterway, they must have placed enough powerful and dangerous magic? But don't you say that the markers are not ......?"

"Nobody ever said you had to cast a spell to achieve that effect. Lin gestured with her hand and made a "BOOOOM" gesture, "Things like razing Salamo's Rainbow of Focus just need a place to put it...... So the meaning of those marks is probably the place to maximize their power, right?"

"Rainbow of Focus?

"An artifact, right? Well, for the specific effect, you can refer to the gunpowder that the dwarves have brewed, and then amplify the power to the point where it can raze a fortress city in one shot...... Of course, there's no way these people can have this thing, but I don't think it's too powerful, right?"

It took Kasim a while to understand Lynn's abstract statement.

However, by the time he reacted, Qasim's face had turned extremely pale.

"You mean, they're going to detonate explosives countless times more powerful than gunpowder underground?"

"If there is no mistake, the marked sites should all be load-bearing walls...... Theoretically, if the power is enough, it will spread to the entire surface of the earth, and it is not impossible to make Nazca City sink a few meters. ”

When the time comes, you just need to "boom", and maybe the map will need to be redrawn.

"But it's just your imagination, isn't it? It makes sense, but you don't have any real evidence, even if I believe you...... Can you convince anyone else?"

If this is reported to the upper echelons, it will definitely be criticized for "daydreaming", right?

Facing Cassim's concern, Lin shook her finger calmly: "That's just that you're more troublesome—I don't need to report to your boss, can't I report directly to the Mage Guild? ”

Lin also has the identity of a member of the association, no matter how bad it is, let Aisha, who is an elder, go out of the horse, if anyone dares to ignore it, then they can hang themselves on the southeast branch - someone above is so confident!

"Of course, if you need it, it's not without evidence or something~"

Lin directed Kasim's eager eyes and pointed in a certain direction with her finger: "There is a ready-made one, as long as you are careful not to kill him or let him kill himself, it won't be difficult for people to speak, right?"

In the direction Lynn was pointing, there was a faint sound of footsteps—but Qasim knew that it was not the sound of the patrolling soldier's standard iron boots. (To be continued......)
