Life had been dull for about a week since the last college dinner party. Wang Yu later learned that both Daniel and his father were somewhat crazy and very paranoid. Otherwise, no matter how stupid they were, they would not have forced them to take care of them in the college. Let's go Aviya.
His father died in the same way. After failing at an auction, he tried to use a killer to kill the person who bought the thing in private, but he ran into trouble.
This buyer was a ruthless man who didn't know where he came from. He rushed to Daniel's house and killed old Daniel while being surrounded by dozens of knights.
Although it was natural that this person would not survive after that, but replacing a count was quite worth it when you think about it.
Wang Yu is wary of this little Daniel, and he will also pay attention to this guy in the future. He doesn't know if Edward's identity can make little Daniel let go of his covetous heart. If he dares to take action again, Wang Yu will definitely let him This guy knows that there is never more than one ruthless person.
"Aren't you going to compete for a special spot in the big library?" Wang Yu, who was exercising in the yard while practicing fighting skills, asked Aviya, who was concentrating on a magic book on the table under the tree.
Earlier this morning, Aviya's mentor Weber Lanqi asked his granddaughter Wendy to send Aviya the news that she had the qualifications to enter the big library. The girl treated Wendy to a sumptuous lunch, which made Aviya treat her to a sumptuous lunch. Wendy was extremely moved and at the same time a little bit carried away.
Wendy asked for a fight with Wang Yu in the yard, and the result was that there was now a human-shaped depression in the yard.
That was Wang Yu's masterpiece. After becoming familiar with Wendy's combat style, Wang Yu directly abandoned all his weapons and solved the battle without even using the blood-burning drive.
It's very simple. If Wendy needs to control the weight of the giant sword to attack, she will be completely unable to use it once she gets close, because if the weight cannot be borne by the enemy, it will become a burden. .
A few simple joint tricks easily knocked off Wendy's weapon, and the final over-the-shoulder throw ended the battle, leaving only a pit on the ground and Wendy doubting her life.
Fighting flexibly, adapting to various situations and discovering countermeasures, Wang Yu may not really have any talent in other aspects, but in combat, his will and ability are unique.
After that comes daily training. Aviya is free except for the time she listens to her instructor’s lectures and the time she perfects alchemy in the laboratory. One of the girls’ favorite things is to watch leisurely under the tree. The alchemy books I studied improved together with Wang Yu.
"Well, I'm not going to argue. In fact, my goal is to enter the big library. The knowledge in it is what I think is the most valuable."
"Those who can qualify are not simple people. Competing with them will not only consume a lot of time, but may even cause unnecessary hatred and trouble. Wouldn't it be nice to have this time to steadily improve yourself?"
"Nice!" Wang Yu agreed with Aviya's statement. There was no point in competing for one of the ten spots.
Instead of competing with those who are equally good for this special qualification, it is better to hold on to your own quota and use the time saved to improve yourself. Only your own strength is the real strength.
Clenching his fist, Wang Yu circulated his fighting energy, turning the fighting energy like a whirlpool, compressing the rotating fighting energy and accumulating it on his right hand. With the muscles bulging, he hit the wooden fake with armor in the yard with his fist. Human chest.
"Bang!" The dummy was knocked down by a punch, and a pile of sawdust flew out from the smoke and dust when the dummy hit the ground.
He walked forward, lifted the dummy up, and looked at the armor on his chest. The armor, which was not too thick, had been completely penetrated.
There was no depression like a fist mark, but instead a round hole with rough edges appeared at the place where he was hit. This was the result of Wang Yu's fighting spirit penetrating the armor. It was very destructive, but also very consuming. big.
"Huh, not bad. I have mastered this skill of using fighting energy, and my destructive power has reached a higher level again." Wang Yu looked at his results with satisfaction and threw the damaged dummy aside.
"Elliot and I have already been in touch. He is happy to take our order. Your alchemy shop should be built soon." Wang Yu thought of something.
"Really? Okay!" Aviya clenched her hands into fists and cheered a little.
"Ms. Night's church seems to be improving, but it's a little biased, but overall it's good."
When he mentioned Ms. Dark Night's Night Church, he wanted to laugh a little when he thought of the scene Ms. Dark Night showed him that day, but everything was still developing in a good direction, and Wang Yu was in a good mood.
However, it is obvious that such a peaceful time cannot last long in this period when the overall situation is still chaotic.
"Wang Yu, are you there? Something happened." Edward's voice came from outside the door.
Wang Yu opened the door, and Edward led a group of Night Blade soldiers with serious expressions. "There is a problem with the sewers on the outskirts of the city. Charles has already rushed over. Let's leave quickly."
"Elfen, the source of life?"
"Um."
Wang Yu and Aviya, who was following behind him, looked at each other, and they understood the meaning in their eyes tacitly.
"Walk!"
The two of them followed Edward and started to rush to the place where the situation happened.
…
On the outskirts of the city, the main sewer outlet of the Royal City is one of the outlets of the Royal City's huge sewer system. A large amount of alchemical waste products and waste products produced by people's lives are discharged into the sewers, and are discharged into the rivers in the wilderness through the exits of various suburbs.
The self-purification ability of this world is much better than that of the earth, but there is no need or ability to think about environmental pollution.
Although the self-purification ability is very strong, this does not prevent the environment of this water outlet from being terrible. A large amount of waste alchemical solution is deposited in the small beach near the exit of this huge pipe, emitting a dizzying smell.
Sometimes the stench is not only caused by the presence of filth in the alchemical solution, but also because the effect of these waste alchemical solvents is to make people comatose.
At this moment, in addition to wood chips, broken glass, rotten food and human filth, several human corpses could be seen slumped in this disgusting thing.
The corpse looked extremely twisted and deformed. The overall image looked like a mummy, and it was as thin as a dehydration.
But because it was soaked in water, the hair became swollen and shriveled while soaking. The surface of the skin also cracked and fell due to the pulling between the edema and dryness, revealing the inner structure that made people even more disgusting and uncomfortable.
Some broken white bone fragments can be seen among the whitish, maggot-infested muscles and fat. The necks and arms of these corpses were partially broken or shattered by huge force, and their postures were as twisted as they looked. deformity.
"Damn, what on earth made these residents do this!" A middle-aged soldier wearing a city guard armor used his sheathed sword to poke at the back of an overturned corpse.
With the touch, the skin and muscles on the corpse's back melted away like mud, turning into a disgusting paste-like substance that even stuck to the soldier's scabbard.
"Eh, it's so disgusting." Seeing this red and white muddy thing sticking to his scabbard, the soldier subconsciously shook it off and put the scabbard into the water to clean it.
But how clean is the water next to the sewer outlet? As a stench rushed into the soldier's nostrils, the guy couldn't bear it and threw the scabbard out.
"Ugh...!" There were about ten people who came with the city guards. Many soldiers vomited after seeing the corpses with half swollen and half shriveled faces.
Not only is it a psychological discomfort, the rotten smell mixed with the stench of the sewer outlet itself is completely unacceptable to the human body. Uncontrolled vomiting is the human body's protest against this harsh environment.
"Unfortunately, it's our turn to do this kind of job. It's disgusting. You were the one who managed the drain, right?"
A young soldier helped his helmet, which had become crooked due to vomiting, turned in one direction dissatisfied, and asked about the painting impolitely.
There stood a somewhat submissive old man. He was short in stature but could see some muscle lines on his thin body. Several bottles and cans of unknown purpose were hung on his body, and he had no idea of the use of a stick in his hand. After a few years, it looks shiny.
"Yes, it's me..." The old man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and there was a hint of hidden fear in his answer.
"What's going on here? Why did so many people suddenly die here?"
"I don't know. Dead people often float down here on weekdays, but they are basically completely bloated corpses. We need to deal with these to prevent them from being possessed by ghosts and reused."
"But when I came here early this morning, I saw so many corpses. I felt something was wrong at that time. These corpses don't look white from a distance. Dead people soaked in water will definitely turn white, but these The corpses were all mummified, so I quickly reported them. The fact that they looked a little swollen was actually because they had been soaked in water for too long.
"So you don't have any other news?" The soldier frowned and looked at the old man who was responsible for dealing with sewer problems.
"I...I really only know this. I haven't seen this kind of mummy in decades. The ones that come out of the sewer are either completely rotten or soaked. This kind of mummy, I...I feel something is wrong."
The old man's voice trembled, as if he was afraid of what happened in the sewer and the soldiers' irritability.
"So you reported it to the city guards just because you were suspicious? Do you know that we are very busy?" It seemed that the city guards were dissatisfied as the old man was worried, and felt very unhappy that the old man allowed them to come because of his suspicions.
The environment here was so bad that they wanted to leave immediately, but their responsibilities prevented them from leaving completely without caring about anything.
Looking sideways at the old man, the young soldier had no idea of finding out what was going on. This kind of corpse found in the sewer happened several times a day in the royal city.
It is normal for someone to die in the sewer due to revenge, or for a conflict to break out in a black market, and several people die. Some of these corpses are stuck in the sewer and completely rotted, while some are relatively intact and discharged from the sewer outlet.
In this soldier's opinion, the issue of several mummies mentioned by the old man was not something worth paying attention to at all.
"Forget it, old Sam, go in and take a look, use the magic crystal to record it and then we'll leave. Damn it, there are a few corpses in the sewer and there's no reason to call the city guards."
"Hmm." Old Sam was the unlucky middle-aged soldier who threw away his scabbard. At this time, he covered his mouth and nose with his hands and agreed to the young soldier's request with vague words.
"No, this is really wrong. The state of those corpses cannot allow them to float for so long. They turned into mud when they were touched just now. It is absolutely impossible for them to collide with the wall in the sewer. The fact that these mummies can come out shows that They died near this straight waterway!"
The old man's voice sounded, interrupting Old Sam's footsteps. Old Sam looked back at the young man, as if he thought what the old man said was reasonable and was afraid of the possible threats he might encounter.
"What are you looking at? I'll give you more money. A quarter of the reward can't be more." The young man waved his hand impatiently. He didn't know what kind of virtue this guy had, so he just used the old man's words to knock him down. Pen.
Sure enough, Old Sam showed a successful smile and walked into the sewer, which was probably even worse than the external drainage outlet. The torch was lit, and Old Sam himself disappeared little by little into the darkness of the sewer entrance.
After looking at the old man with a strange look on his face, the young man spat on the ground in displeasure. If the old man hadn't been so talkative, he wouldn't have had to pay the quarter to let old Sam go in and do this hard work.
Instead of looking at the old man who was irritating him, the young man stood aside with other city guards and waited for Old Sam to use the recording crystal to record some internal situations to report.
About five or six minutes later, old Sam appeared again in the field of vision of others with a torch. He opened his hands and waved twice, shouting:
"The old man was really right. The murderer is nearby, but the person is also dead. It seems that it was caused by the gang war in the underground. I don't know where the black magic was used, turning both sides into mummies. What unlucky me, as soon as I came out, a mummy came out with me."
Following Old Sam's words, a face-down corpse actually floated out of the sewer. It looked like the same skinny body, but it was absorbing water and beginning to swell.
"Okay, I got it. Let's go when it's done. Why are you standing there?" The young man glanced at the mummy, which was floating out along the sewage. Thinking of the disgusting faces of the corpses he had seen before, he had a look on his face. Turning away in disgust.
"Huh?" Old Sam showed a weird smile and rubbed his thumb and index finger in the air.
The young man raised his eyebrows. He knew what this meant. It meant having extra money... Yes, the gang war was not about good goods but territory. Now looking at Old Sam's performance, it seemed that it was not about territory but good goods.
After looking around, the other city guards also showed knowing smiles and walked towards Old Sam together.
The old man looked at these guys going to the sewer, gritted his teeth, and slipped away while they ignored him.
A group of city guards and Old Sam entered the sewers with torches.
What they didn't notice was that the face of the mummy that floated out had a look of horror that belonged to Old Sam.
An hour later, an entire city guard team lost contact, and the situation and tasks were transferred to the nearest organization that could handle it...
