Chapter 539 (1/2)
Compared with eboden, the sewers in the capital golovun are narrower, more complex... And darker.
This was Loren's first idea.
Feel the hard concave convex rock wall under your feet, and all you can see is darkness; The sounds you can hear are very complex - the torrent of sewage, mice, cockroaches and all kinds of reptiles, the wind along the pipeline
Of course, there is an unbearable stench.
The black haired wizard narrowed his eyes, adapted to the darkness in the sewer, groped for the uneven wall with his right hand, and tried to find a place to stay in this noisy but dead environment.
Right above their heads, nearly 100 of the most elite night watchmen in the imperial capital are chasing themselves everywhere, as well as hundreds of spies, plus countless killers from the chamber of Commerce, conservative nobles and the Holy Cross Church.
Half of the imperial capital... No, after the imperial trial, everyone should hate themselves to the bone.
They must have found the ”change” of the summer twilight courtyard... It's reasonable to send someone to hunt down; When things get to this point, even if it's just to kill the night watchman, he can't let himself go.
If exposed, the only end is to seek death.
Dark, cold and piercing, silent as night, dark
Darkness is all you can see in this sewer.
It's really like ”dumb dream”.
Loren in the dark couldn't help laughing, but he still didn't stop groping forward - in this place, any hesitation or turning back is fatal.
He didn't light a lamp or use the ”firefly curse”... In such a dark place, a little extra sound and light will expose his position and lead the bloodthirsty beast to the door.
”Pa!”
The bright silver of the right hand gently knocked on the rock wall, leaving an imperceptible trace; The DIDU sewer is narrower than Laurent expected, and it is potholed. It is obvious that it has not been repaired for a long time.
It's hard to shuttle through the darkness. The map given by Edward has long been destroyed by the black haired wizard. Even a wizard with a spiritual palace and an extraordinary memory can only barely remember the general direction and location. Of course, it's impossible to be 100% sure.
At each step, Loren walked carefully and cautiously.
”Dang!”
The bright silver blade hit the wall for the second time, and the sound of collision was quiet on the heavy rocks.
Loren was still expressionless, as if he hadn't noticed his ”hand mistake”.
What he has to do now is to escape from Golovin as soon as possible before he is detected by the night watchman. Everything else is secondary.
I can't feel time in the dark. I can only infer by the frequency of my steps and the distance I have traveled. It should have been about two quarters of an hour.
I've been walking for two quarters of an hour, in other words... There's little left.
It's not far. It's almost there.
Before she knew it, Loren had felt his palms wet and his heart beat faster.
Only the dark pupils are still as calm as at the beginning.
The sound of sewage torrent came from the end of the dark tunnel, which proved that Loren was not going in the wrong direction; The sound of water is getting louder and louder, even close at hand.
The exit is close at hand.
Follow the route on the map, turn back at the next corner, then turn right, go straight again, and finally turn left, you can
”LUT infinite.”
Asriel suddenly appeared behind Lauren as if to frighten him on purpose, and his small head poked over his shoulder.
”Hmm?” Lauren snorted doubtfully, but he still walked forward without expression, as if he didn't pay attention to the ”burden” behind him.
”Dear Loren, you don't look like you're running away.” the boy raised his mouth and jumped down before the dark haired wizard threw him into the puddle and landed on the ground lightly:
”You're looking for the night watchman's secret base... Even Mr. Edward deliberately reminds you not to do so.”
”Tell me.”
The black haired wizard unexpectedly did not refute, but shrugged slightly, and his eyes were calm and indifferent.
