It is more difficult to calm down a crying little werewolf than to return safely after going to the Broken Moon. In short, the apprentice had no experience in dealing with the brat. He watched helplessly as he cried until he was so tired that he could only sob. Only then did he feel that the unbearable moment was finally over.
If York hadn't been there, I would have cried. Uriel wiped his cold sweat and watched the little gray wolf pop his snot bubbles with his claws. York said nothing, obviously regretting his actions.
The ordeal is finally over. No adventure is a smooth and happy journey, but if I have to endure the howling of a short-legged wolf, I would rather fight with the Steel Guard.
"Were you in the tunnel the whole time?"
"Just...just..." Maymie Graypaw was still sobbing. "I can't get out."
"Then how did you get in?" Uriel couldn't imagine how he survived the collapse, not to mention that staying alive requires more than just physical integrity. "There's nothing here, what do you eat? Is there water?"
"I was working here. But suddenly the ground collapsed——"
"You're just here?"
"No, I was crushed under a pile of rocks and it hurts all over."
"You seem to be in good condition," the apprentice said against his will.
"Because I passed out soon. But it didn't last long. Many people fell with me. They were all ordinary humans. They all fell to death." Here he sobbed louder. "When I woke up, I climbed up. I climbed into the tunnel and my gloves were worn out." He stretched out his short, hairy fingers.
"Then what?" The apprentice couldn't wait to know more, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"It wasn't just the ground that collapsed. I saw rocks falling like hailstones from above. There were people knocked down everywhere and there was sand everywhere. I had to go back down there."
Meimi's approach cannot be said to be clever. Uriel knew that the road they came from was blocked by rocks and sand. If it weren't for the mysterious place, the result of hiding in a low place might not be good.
The collapse of the Angmar Tunnel was not a partial accident, but a collapse of the entire ground. The mysterious place is under the tunnel. The construction of the railway caused the original structure to collapse, and the Geological Bureau obviously could not find any key points in the geology of the mysterious place. People paid a huge price to confirm the mysterious place, and No mystery is the same as any other.
Their eyes were deceived, and the Angmar Tunnel Railway brought to light the mysteries buried underground.
The Green Rose City and the Golden Cup are obviously connected, which seems to indicate that the treasure is the ruins of the Green Rose City. The apprentice and the mercenary looked at each other and realized that they were extremely close to their goal.
The little gray wolf is a lucky guy. Although he is a little stupid, he is at least cautious. From the look on his face, Uriel knew that he had probably been wandering in this section of the tunnel, and he was just trying to find a way out when he met them. The exit cannot be underground.
Sure enough, Meimi didn't go anywhere. "I waited in the pit for a long time until it was quiet outside. When I climbed back up, everything was back to normal. I was trapped here, but I survived."
"Have you reached the end of the tunnel pit?" York asked, hoping for a chance.
"There's nothing there," he quibbled. "I have come a long way in vain."
The lie was so lame that Uriel didn't even bother to expose it. "Do you know what happened to the train?"
"Who cares about that kind of stuff?"
The apprentice was filled with disappointment. "I think I know how you have survived until now. It must be because your body structure is different from ours. You are careless every day, so you consume very little energy."
The "real projection" will bring food and water. When Meimi is alone in the entire tunnel, he can live more comfortably than in the outside world. Railway workers are basically slaves, and in the Ice Territory, life is difficult for civilians.
"That's because I'm a werewolf! Do werewolves understand?"
"Who cares what you are?" York whispered and took a few steps back.
"What do we do now? We meet a stupid wolf, and he might know what's down there."
"But he didn't want to tell us." Uriel was still immersed in his personal emotions.
An adventurer is not impatient, but he is definitely not patient. He rubbed his fingers, "Then let's go and see for ourselves. Just take this guy with us. Werewolves are monsters with fangs that will turn the people they bite into the same kind. But they are only afraid of Aconitum. Grass, and we happen to have this inexplicable smell."
Uriel couldn't think of a better idea. He stepped forward and pulled out the dagger, but the little wolf suddenly pounced on him. York almost stabbed him. "He wants to bite you!"
However, the apprentice concentrated his attention this time and did not feel the ripples of magic. "Don't go down!" Meimi didn't bite him. The little gray wolf screamed and hugged Uriel's arm until he was completely hanging on it.
"Let's go back to the tunnels," he begged. "Then get out of here."
"You just followed us because you wanted to escape from the tunnel, right?"
"I'm doing this for your own good." Meimi blinked twice, her golden pupils filled with uneasiness. "Don't go any further. You know this is the road to the underground. Although it allows us to pass, this kind of help is malicious. It ends in the underground world."
"The real underground world will not be here." York retorted, "Have you heard of the Ash Temple? The underground world is their territory, full of lizards and strange black-skinned creatures. There is no light there because it There is no sun."
Meimi opened her mouth in confusion.
"I-I'm talking about something else." He stumbled to explain. "The underground world is because it's underground, maybe it's hell... Anyway, it has nothing to do with the Ashes Temple. I've never heard of it."
"Then what is it?"
This question made the werewolf hesitate for a long time. He was thinking about what words to use to describe such a scene as accurately as possible, which was not easy for a railway worker. Even if Meimi is a monster, he may not be more knowledgeable than an apprentice who can read books and newspapers.
His power of expression was derived from people talking to each other, and his description of extraordinary events was derived from the words of priests or mystics. So after thinking again and again, Meimi only uttered one word:
"The Devil's Nest."
…
"I'm really surprised. Could it be that Lucia's Holy Knights gave him the courage to let two stupid young people have the courage to plunge into the snow-capped mountains?" Jet whispered to the dwarf next to him, only in exchange for He rolled his eyes.
Since Joey joined the team, Painter has been like a gourd with his mouth cut off, just silent.
Golden-bearded Kaixi was also extremely puzzled. "Why do they go to the snowy mountains?"
"My deputy leader," Jet reminded, "Of course it was the Wheel Gang that entered the snowy mountains. I have never heard of anyone abandoning their mission to be baptized in the middle of the chase." He said in Ridicule those paladins.
Casey didn't answer. Like Painter, he never felt that there were any smart people among his companions. As they passed the arch bridge, two pigeons flew up. There were so many birds in the square that the mercenaries could hardly tell whether they were real or fake. If you want to call it an illusion, people can catch it in the palm of your hand; but if you want to call it real, no one knows where these little things come from.
Good news about homing pigeons always makes people look forward to it, and Painter is uneasy about the next adventure.
The deputy commander of the Knox Mercenary Group got the news from Sir Conley without any effort. Golden Beard is a rare adventurer who doesn't like to fight with others. He can often defeat people with just a few words. Painter had long been accustomed to it, and he didn't think the messenger from the Sky Tower would be surprised by this.
Fortunately, Golden Beard took care of this matter, the big-nosed dwarf thought silently, otherwise I would be the unlucky one again.
At this time, Big Nose couldn't help but think that sometimes people's personalities are really weird. He is obviously a tolerant and generous young man who doesn't care about anything at all. He doesn't like to be long-winded and he has never been bossy. There was a quiet, mysterious air about him, and his demeanor was extremely calm and decisive. He is neither weak nor reckless.
It stands to reason that such a gesture would tend to draw people closer, but in his case, it became one of the factors that kept people away. This has nothing to do with the power of the Sky Realm.
Painter still remembered that after Knox investigated the whereabouts of Uriel and York in Wynneworth, he had always informed the envoy of the results.
I once again enjoyed the admiration of people, who treated me like a hero. This made both of them very uncomfortable. Of course half of this discomfort is the dwarf's guess. The young man's movements seemed very calm, but in fact he only had movements to look at.
"Bonfire." Joey spat out the word.
"Those gangsters are very smart." Big Nose said bravely, "It seems that we have to deal with the tin knights again."
"Then you don't have to go."
But the envoy's accommodation made the mercenaries feel humiliated. In the end, it was the three of them: Kaixi, Painter and Jeter. The dwarves originally thought that Kexi would stay to manage the Knox mercenary group, but Goldenbeard handed over the matter to the various squad captains and told them the address of Calder's training. His original words were "Please tell our leader that this is one of the consequences of causing trouble without permission."
The experience of the four people going out of the city was actually not pleasant. A messenger rode on horseback, and the news came one after another. Jet bought a reprinted evening newspaper. The news on it was not only gang conflicts and noble gossip, but also something higher than weird missing persons notices that looked like passwords.
"Winnie Watts is in chaos again." People are saying, "It's just a good thing."
"You see, they feel that someone above them is imposing laws, setting up street bans, arranging frequent midnight patrols, and randomly collecting taxes because of the trivial matters of the nobles. This is Berti's gift to them." Jet complained to him, " I don’t think the princess of the Four Leaf Territory would be willing to come to this cold place, or else she wouldn’t have left after the undead attack.”
Painter made no comment because he felt the messenger's cold glance. It seems to come from nothingness, conveying a hatred for any waste of time.
"Let's see what other ridiculous things there are." Goldenbeard Kaixi brought the fourth horse and was busy saddling it. "It better be worthy of our attention."
"There is a report from Bonfire Town -" his voice gradually became smaller. "A large-scale mysterious phenomenon has occurred in the town. Cardinal Edgar of the Light Council arrived in the town and has explained the emergency..."
