Walking in the sewer world, my eyes are full of cold fluorescents, the air is full of dull smells, and all I hear in my ears is the sound of the wind blowing through the pipes. In the dry canal under his feet, from time to time, several animals or magical beasts were alarmed and ran past, driving the gravel at the bottom of the canal to collide with each other, making a small breaking sound. In the deep pipes in the distance, there was occasionally a faint cry of a demonic beast, and the cry became extremely strange after the twisting of an unknown number of pipes, making people sound creepy.
"Why is there a gust of wind here?" Catherine asked, feeling the breeze, puzzled, "Isn't it deep underground?"
"No one knows the answer. Vivien shrugged and said, "Goblin ruins often have this kind of wind, but after digging through the ruins, they can't find a place to ventilate, and no one knows how they do it." Therefore, this special method of ventilation, like their metal alloy formula, has become one of the five unsolved mysteries of goblins in the academic world, the first of which is the mystery of the demise of goblins. ”
The breeze was occasionally mixed with the sound of metal grinding, and the puppets were moving in the distance, and occasionally there was a rhythmic murmur, as if someone was whispering in their ears, but no one could hear what was being said.
Anne quietly poked her head out of Catherine's chest, feeling the resentment from her soul in the air, and sometimes pointing in a certain direction, Catherine led the team to turn in the direction that Anne was pointing, and as she went, she had to be careful to guard her surroundings, always ready to meet the puppets that would come out of nowhere. Vivien, on the other hand, was busier than Catherine, but fortunately she had long been used to using magic tricks, otherwise she would not have enough hands. Vivien holds the instant map of indulgent delivery in both hands while controlling the Magic Thread. Let a piece of paper hang in the air next to the instant map, refer to the changes of the instant map, and constantly draw the passing roads on the paper, expanding the scope of the map. Pansy and Mimosa looked at each other, and the only lighting work they had now had was replaced by the fluorite belt above their heads, and they were completely idle, so they consciously drew their self-defense daggers from the root of their thighs, and protected Vivien on both sides, trying their best to follow the steps of the professional.
"Drop", a short prompt sound abruptly startled the four people who were in a hurry. Then an incomprehensible series of voices rang out from all directions. Catherine escorted the three behind her and quickly retreated to the edge of the pipe, ready for possible changes. But no change occurred, and after the voice passed, the silence returned to the surroundings, and there was nothing unusual at all.
"Vivien. Catherine did not let her guard down, her eyes still scanned around, and she asked without looking back, "Is it the language of the goblins just now?"
"I don't understand. Vivien smiled wryly: "I can only read part of the text, but let me listen to the voice, this is really a bit difficult." Alas. It is only when you use it that you know how important it is to speak and listen to a foreign language. However, it is not completely incomprehensible, and I can hear a few words. ”
"Can you guess the meaning?" asked Catherine, "about the meaning." ”
"What should be a warning. Vivien hesitated and guessed, "Say there's going to be something that changes, and then there's something to avoid." This sentence seems to be related to height, so I can only guess this, and it basically doesn't make much sense. ”
"No, it still makes sense. Catherine slowly lowered the shield in front of her: "It shouldn't be a sign that the cleaning puppet is about to appear." That's the good news. The bad news is that maybe this change will be harder to deal with than cleaning golems. ”
The four of them stopped in awkwardness, trying to move on, but fearing that the changes mentioned in the voice would bring unforeseen dangers. I want to stay where I am, but I am worried that the so-called change is actually over, and I am still stupid and don't know, and I am in a dilemma for a while.
"I remembered a joke. Vivien said bitterly, "More than three hundred years ago, there was a period of academic exchanges between the Mage Guild and the Ancestral Temple of the Orc Clan. One year, an orc shaman came to the Tower of Stars for further study, and this shaman made up the lingua franca for a period of time before leaving, and he could read most of the magic literature normally, so he came confidently. After arriving at the Tower of Shine, a disciple in the tower received him warmly, arranged a place for him to live, explained in detail the habits and taboos in the Tower of Shine, and finally told him three magic words when entering and leaving the Tower of Shine. However, it was later discovered that this shaman had a very strange habit of standing upside down every time he went out of the forbidden door, without one exception. Everyone was puzzled, but thought that it might be an orc custom, so they didn't ask. In this way, the shaman studied in the tower for two years, and finally returned to the grassland. Before leaving, his friends couldn't help but be curious, so they asked this question, and the answer made them laugh and cry. It turned out that when the disciple who received the shaman first explained to him the magic words of the access control, when he told him to say these three magic words, as long as the body was in the correct position, the order of the magic words could be reversed, and it would not affect the judgment of the access control, but the shaman's hearing was not good, thinking that it was said that the body should be in an upside-down position so as not to affect the judgment of the access control, so he went in and out upside down for two years. ”
"The joke is so good. The three of them looked at Vivien, who was giggling with a blank face, and Catherine hugged her arms and said, "Although I didn't find the point of laughter, I felt a little stuffy just now, but now it's much cooler, and it's all your credit." ”
Vivien put away her smile boringly and said wistfully, "Maybe I misunderstood, or else, let's keep going?"
"It's fine. Catherine nodded and said, "It hasn't changed for so long, so it's better to keep going, just be careful." ”
Before the words fell, a sound of metal friction sounded from inside the wall, and at a position about five or six meters above the wall above the heads of several people, a sharp metal blade one meter wide and more than ten meters long shot out from the inside of the wall, stretching forward, clinging to the edge of the canal and going deep into the inside of the canal, almost touching the bottom of the canal before it stopped extending. Not just from the top of the heads of several people, in fact, every ten meters or so, three metal sharp blades poked out from the left and right sides and directly above to the bottom of the canal, all the way to the end of the field of vision. On closer inspection, it was not a metal blade, but a metal plate with a chain with fine, sharp serrated edges wrapped around the edges. The sharp serrations exude a cold aura. Once all the metal blades were in place, there was another "Didi" beep, and the serrated chain began to spin rapidly, while the metal plates began to advance along the direction of the pipe, until it was ten meters away before stopping. After another beep of "Didi", the metal chainsaw regained its grip on the inside of the wall, as if it had never happened.
"Perhaps, sometimes the orc shaman is right. Catherine smiled wryly and said, "Vivian, your jokes are still very philosophical. ”
"This chainsaw...... It should be used to automatically clean up large volumes of debris stuck in the waterway. Vivien said, "It's not a trap, it's a big threat to ordinary people and low-level professionals, but it's not useful to high-level professionals. Although it can destroy the ** of the gold level, it can't break through the shield. ”
"Well, it can't break through the Dou Qi or the magic shield. Catherine nodded, "But its cutting can consume a lot of fighting energy or mana, and it is also a trouble." ”
Pansy swallowed heavily and whispered, "If we had been walking in the canal just now, my sister and I would have died by now." ”
"No, it won't. Catherine said, "It's actually going to be slow, and we've had enough time to open our shields and get in front of us, and then cut off the chainsaw." However, it seems that we have to be a little more wary of this kind of trap that is not a trap. ”
"So you two are on the safe side. Try not to get too far away from us. Again, Vivien emphasized, "You have to keep it in mind. ”
"Alright, I don't know how long the next cleanup will be. Catherine straightened up, stood up from the corner and said, "Take advantage of this opportunity to hurry up." ”
As soon as she stood up, Catherine suddenly noticed that the pupils of the two maids constricted. His eyes were fixed on his chest, but after staring for a few seconds, he quickly moved away as if he was running for his life, pretending not to see anything. As soon as he looked down, he noticed Anne poking her head out of the pendant again. was looking at the two maids curiously.
"Alas. Catherine sighed distressedly, rubbed her forehead and said, "You see?"
"No, we didn't. Really didn't see anything. Pansy blurted out almost at the sound of a shout, the two maids in the City of Innocence are accustomed to seeing people who suddenly disappear because they know too much, and they know very well that many times knowing a secret will only bring death. And she also knew very well that she and her sister had no room for resistance in the face of the two high-level professionals in front of her, so when Catherine asked, Pansy shouted without even thinking about it, but only when she answered did she realize how ridiculous her answer was.
"Sister, it's useless. Mimosa smiled bitterly and reached out to hold her sister's hand: "That's right, we saw it, an undead girl." However, if you try to kill us, even if it doesn't work, we will definitely resist. ”
"I wonder if you have a habit of talking in your sleep?" asked Catherine, with a calm expression.
"Phew, thank you. Pansy instantly understood Catherine's meaning and breathed a sigh of relief: "We will never say it, and we don't have the habit of talking in our dreams, thank you." ”
"Actually, the eldest sister doesn't care at all. Vivian said casually: "Many people know about this, just hide it from you to avoid trouble, you don't have to worry, kill someone for such a trivial matter, is the eldest sister still worthy of being a knight? ”
"Thanks, we get it. Pansy and Mimosa bowed again, but their posture was a little less restrained.
