Chapter 229: It’s too quiet…
“The shi+t is this, I was supposed to have soirls not be stuck in some shi+tty duirls? You mean the local whores”
“What’s the difference?”
Orson spit on the floor while narrowing his eyes There were no torches in this place so it was hard to see as ahead of theh the underground passages with only Roland’s ht as a source of illumination
“Can you two be quiet, we don’t know if this place is even safe, what if there are e monsters here?”
Senna commented while the eldest of the pirate sisters spoke out
“Don't worry, those bastards shant be able t' get here that easily All the entrances shall 'ave been closed 'n I bet everyone be jus' waitin' fer it t' blow o'er”
While everyone was talking Roland was sure to use his parallel thinking skill Part of hi attention to as happening in front Even though what Isabela said was true this didn’t erous
Roland didn’t voice his concerns but he wasn’t sure if these underground passages were truly safe Considering that the cult had soif they had some kind of secret base here as well It would be quite bold of the the Goddess of the sun
‘A this? Could they hide theh priests in this city? But they weren’t able to discover the infected … ‘
The Abyssal Cult was a secretive bunch that certainly liked to hide away in the shadows It was possible that they had ways of hiding from the church if they decided to infect thisplan was to infestwhen there were enough forces, yet for such a thing to be feasible, they would need some kind of foothold
‘ and what better foothold than a base in the city that they want to take over…’
“Hey Wayland, you’ve been awfully quiet, did you figure so out?”
“Uh, no let’s just quickly head toward the docks and get out of here…”
“You don’t have to tell e?”
Orson asked the question to Isabela that just s
“We be arrivin’ at the et soet ahead o' yourself Eve, better ready yer rapier
One of the sisters of the shi+p’s captain that see fro was true then they should arrive at the black h another checkpoint
“Well shi+t“
Yet after they went around the corner instead of a door or soe they run into so at his radar to see if there were anyTo his surprise, there was nothing that his device was picking up
“That’s strange…”
“O' course, it's strange, ould they collapse the entrance t' the market?”
“Are you sure that the black market is behind here?”
“Aye”
“There are no life signs behind this rubble, don’t you think it's odd that there aren’t any people at so iht, I can’t sense anything either, hey dwarf can we get through here?”
Senna turned to Dalrak who as the resident dwarf had a keen eye for collapsed tunnels Without needing much time he moved towards the rocks and could quickly tell that the blockade wasn’t deep
“We shuld be able to git through here, not many of the rocks hav’ fallen”
“What are you all worried about, so what if there is no one there, just makes it easier for us to pass!”
Orson s towards the rubble while others just looked at him funny Yet even Grisalde wasn’t that worried as she decided to help her new partypeople here it would be quite easy to clear out a path for the in, I’ll be relying on your ic support then”
Senna just looked towards Roland that wasn’t sure what to make of this It was clear to him that a place like the black h high-level bodyguards to kill a larger group of the monsters, that is if they weren’t the ones that had turned instead
This left a few possibilities that they would probably figure out when getting to the other side It could be that the merchants decided to instantly abandon the place when the round All of them could have already been outside the city at a safe location and bringing down this as just a precaution to keep any potential threats fro them
“Leave it tothe dark corridor behind theh this place there were so appearing froh as after about fifteen h hole for people to squeeze through With so was strengthened so it wouldn't collapse
“Wait here, I’ll be right back”
“Aye, be careful lass”
Dalrak h the human-sized hole without much trouble In such situations, it was up to the people with scouting type classes to search the area
‘We have been steadily going deeper underground, they must have really wanted to evade detection’
While waiting Roland continued to think about the situation and if it was possible for the attacked The deeper a hiding place like this was created the harder it would be for the authorities to detect it Then there was a whole other issue with bribes The nobles and church uild’s payroll which would not be that surprising
‘Everything comes down to money in the end…’
“Aarr shi+t, ye scared me”
Senna’s head popped out of the hole after a minute from her departure While he could her approach thanks to his radar this wasn’t the sairls
“Stop shoutin' Christie, ye'll wake the dead wit' that voice”
This tiave out quite the surprise screech
“Ye, shut your irly”
Grisalde wasn’t amused as she inserted her little pinky into her ear that she took the shout with
“Stop your yapping, we need to move, the coast is clear so hurry up”
“Yeah yeah, stop squeaking pipsqueak”
After Senna vanished through the opening it was tih first and was barely able to get her wide shoulders and h it
“Hey, h faster”
Roland could hear the halfling berating the large woot roup and a firoing through afterward
“Dalrak, go next or those twofor Senna’s health Roland gave the order for the friendly dwarf to go first For some reason, he see any anih the trio from the shi+p were next and were then closely followed by Orson with a stupid grin on his face It was clear that he was enjoying the view that he soon followed after
