Chapter Ninety-One: The Fugitives from the Underworld
Rat Path.
The poor middle-aged man was depressed and wanted to vomit blood. He didn't expect that he would escape to such a hellish place, and even encounter a terrifying steel-armored warrior, and he had no doubt that the hand that grabbed his neck at this moment could easily crush his throat.
He shuddered, and vomited out what he had seen and heard during this time, including the fact that he had stolen the shorts of a widow in the old town that he had sunbathed outside, without hiding anything at all.
Luo Lin listened patiently for a long time, and finally got some useful information.
About ten days ago, a man staggered into the rat path, and he was covered in blood, but this was not surprising, because the first person who escaped into the rat path was this virtuous, and the whole person went deep into the rat path. Soon after he entered, the rat path changed and became eerie, and from time to time screams could be heard from the depths of the rat path. Afraid, the thief had to repeatedly move his bed out.
As for how to go deep, the thief gave a description: "It's deeper than the sewage tank, and if it goes deeper, it will really go to hell."
Sewage Tan, a small lake beneath the old town, was the main source of fresh water for the city when Vendôme was first built, when it was still a small town, but slowly, the small lake became dirtier and dirtier, almost buried in garbage. In a municipal project, the small lake, which has been reduced by more than half, was directly covered with soil and turned into a man-made underground lake.
Rollin let go of the thief and threw him five silver coins: "Get back to the ground." ”
The thief quickly picked up the silver coin, covered it with nothing, and rushed out of the rat path with a puff of smoke. He's fed up with this damn place.
Rollin continued on his way. While walking around a corner. He saw the shimmering warning rune again, glanced at it, destroyed the rune with a sword in his hand, and then continued to move on.
As he went deeper, the rat path became more and more spacious, the floor and walls gradually became drier, and the stench in the air became much lighter and more bearable.
Of course. More and more people appeared, and it was these people's daily transformation that made the underground labyrinth as complex as it is today.
After another corner, still destroying the hidden runes on the wall, Rollin walked over, and there was a hall in front of him, and there were people coming and going in the hall, at least fifty or more, each of them wrapped their faces and bodies, and whispered to each other. Cautiously observing the surroundings, it looks like a ghost.
As soon as Rollin appeared. It immediately caught everyone's attention.
The crowd was silent at first, and then suddenly a scream erupted: "Oh no, the soldiers on the ground have come to arrest us." ”
The crowd was suddenly chaotic, some with weapons, some fleeing, some at a loss, and the originally quiet hall was like a mess in an instant.
Four pale, relatively strong men came out of the crowd, each with a rudimentary rusty hammer in their hands, and surrounded Rollin in the middle, their faces full of vigilance.
One of them said coldly, "Sir, this is not the place for a master like you. ”
Luo Lin could hear the weakness behind this guy's tough tone, and think about it, but whoever has some ability, who would hide in such a ghost place?
"I'm after a man, a magician, he's new here. I'm just looking for trouble with him! Luo Lin directly explained his intentions, and then stretched out the steel sword of the sergeant major in his hand, pointing at the strong man who spoke before: "Sue me for the news, otherwise, die!" ”
The man's face turned red and then blue, as if he had opened a dyeing shop, and he kept his neck from speaking. He was doing well in the rat road, and Rollin's words made him unable to get off the stage.
"Speak quickly!"
At the moment when Luo Lin's words fell, a short figure in the crowd behind him rushed out, and a cold light flashed in his hand, stabbing Luo Lin in the back.
An assassin hiding in the crowd.
Rollin didn't move, and when the assassin rushed closer, the shield in his hand slapped like a fan.
His current strength and degree are very strong, where can this group of hungry guys in the rat path be able to contend with.
The emaciated assassin was slapped with a shield, and the whole person immediately flew backwards faster than he had just rushed forward, slammed into the wall, and then fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, fainting.
Rollin didn't kill him, otherwise the scene would have been ten times worse than it is now, but it was enough.
The strong man was already frightened by Rollin's power, and said, "He is in the innermost hell, no one dares to offend him, that place is full of terrible things. ”
Hell, another name for the deepest part of the Rat Path, is said to have been created by a dark wizard to create a space where no one knows what is there.
"Thank you." Rollin put away his sword and strode towards the exit at the back of the hall, until he disappeared behind the door, and the hall dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
Rollin continued to walk forward, but the direction he was heading was not the direction of the sewage Tan and the hell behind the sewage Tan, he was going a different way.
After walking along the winding passage for about ten minutes, Rollin came to a wooden door.
He knocked on the wooden door, but there was no response from inside.
Keep knocking, there is a slight movement inside, indicating that there are people inside, so Rollin shouted: "Open the door, I know you are inside, Lord Bion"
"Who is it? Who's out there? I don't know you. There was a panicked sound from inside, and at the same time there was the sound of hurried footsteps, the sound of bottles and cans bumping and bumping, and it was a mess.
"It's been ten years since the Glass family fell, and the feud between you and them has long since disappeared." Rollin continued.
He entered the rat path, first, to capture Valos. The second purpose is for this person.
This man's name was Bion, a genius alchemist, but he was ruined by a political conspiracy. He fled all the way, and eventually escaped into the rat path of Vendôme, where he hid for twenty years.
"Pour ...... Fall? There was a sudden silence in the door, and then a voice came from there, and the voice was full of disbelief.
"Yes, the prince fights for power, and the kingdom is in turmoil. Taken advantage of by foreign enemies. Now the kingdom of Grasse no longer exists. The only place where Zài is stored is the city of Grasse. Affiliated with the Kingdom of Aoraki. ”
After speaking, Luo Lin heard footsteps approaching the wooden door, and there was a 'bang', and a hole was opened on the wooden door, and a thin face full of vicissitudes flashed inside, and then the mouth was sealed again, and an angry voice came from inside: "No, you lied to me." You're in a military uniform, you're a soldier, you're here to get me! ”
Luo Lin sighed, this alchemist is a genius, but unfortunately he is a coward, and to put it a little bit, he is more introverted and shy.
He patiently advised: "If I really come to arrest you, do you think this wooden door can stop me?" ”
This time, there was silence in the wooden door for a long time, and then there was a 'squeak' and the wooden door opened. Behind the door stood a thin, gray-haired old man who looked to be in his 5o's year. Wearing a dirty, oily gray cloth robe, he looked at Luo Lin uneasily, and looked behind him for a long time before asking, "You came alone?" ”
"Yes, alone."
"How do you know about me?"
"The genius alchemist Beon, because he fell in love with a woman he shouldn't love, was secretly murdered by the royal family of Grasse, and the bards are singing about you, and of course, you are the protagonist of a tragedy in the poem."
Bion was silent, as if recalling the painful past, he shook his head heavily and said, "Then what are you looking for me?" ”
"I don't think you deserve to die silently in this place. And I need your help. ”
That's a frank answer. But if I'm not mistaken, you're just a sergeant major of the first class, and since the royal family of Glass is finished, why should you let me follow you? Beon had a mocking look on his face.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the first sergeant major is a big person, but to Bion, a genius alchemist who has dealt with many big names, the first sergeant major is nothing.
"It's not to follow, after you go out, I'll occasionally ask you to refine some potions, if you can give me some priority, or if you can get a discount, it's cheaper. I would be happy. Rollin laughed.
The Brain of Wisdom has already shown Biang's information: Level 38 Elite Alchemist (Alchemist Master)
This kind of master-level figure, as long as he goes out, the forces of all parties will definitely compete for him, and he will not worry about no one taking him in at all. Of course, at the time when Bion had just fled, he was just a potential new alchemist, and at that time, the nobles would not offend the royal family of Grasse for such a small person.
From this point of view, this person has not wasted his time in the rat path all these years, just look at the various simple but well-functioning alchemy equipment in this room.
If Rollin was a minor nobleman with a territory and a foundation of his own, he might have been able to win over Bion by some means, but now, he was not qualified.
Listening to Luo Lin's words, Bion looked a little dazed: "Go out? Go out? ”
He muttered to himself, shook his head and waved his hand, and slowly retreated into the house: "No, no, I'm not going anywhere, the outside world is too dangerous, I've lived here for twenty years, it's safe here." ”
Come on, this man is already paranoia of persecution.
Luo Lin was not in a hurry, he then asked, "Your Excellency, can I ask you for some news?" ”
"If you ask, I will sue you if I know."
"There's a magician in this place......"
Before Rollin could finish speaking, Bion understood, and said, "I know who you're talking about. I hate that guy, he made a mess of this good place. What, you're going to get him? ”
"Of course."
"Hmm~ Okay, you wait first." Bion turned back, rummaged through a pile of bottles and cans, and then pulled out a broken bottle of black liquid: "Take it, this is a powerful Shadow Magic Resistance Potion, and within three minutes of drinking it, he can only watch you star." ”
Rollin took the broken bottle and looked at the slimy liquid inside, a little disgusted. Well, as a former alchemist, he knew that Shadow Resistance Potions were all like this, but of all the potions, this was the thing he didn't like to drink the most.
Bion misunderstood what he meant, and muttered: "Okay, it's true that it's not good-looking, but drinking potions is for the effect, not for the sake of appearance, do you like to drink it or not." This is your reward for bringing me such good news. ”
After speaking, the old man closed the wooden door and muttered: "I still like here, I like here, I have feelings." I'm not going out. ”
The door slammed shut, and Rollin was speechless. It seems that if he wants to take this old man out, he will need to put some effort into it.
He didn't dwell on it, took the potion, and continued to walk towards the depths of the rat path. Along the way, he had destroyed a lot of Vigilance Patterns, and he believed that if Valos was in the Rat Path, he would have known that he was coming. (To be continued!)
