Chapter 732 129. Secret
As a new city-state, Free City has advantages of one kind or another, and also has disadvantages of one kind or another. For example, the foundation is not enough, and the hands are too short——
Although Liberty City has many overseas industries, they all do business locally and are not good at exploring secrets...
The scavenger is well-informed. , can help them fill in the gaps.
The centurion started digging and handed Annan a rich shovel. Annan thought her speed was too slow, so he contacted his friend the Elder Earth Elemental and temporarily borrowed some large Earth Elementals to help.
"Are you even related to the elemental plane?" the centurion asked in surprise.
"It's nothing..."
Annan couldn't hide his desire to show off. After all, he was only a first- and second-level sorcerer when he was a new recruit of the Scavenger.
"What is your talent?"
Annan was silent for a while, never wanting to admit that his talent was charm: "Have money."
"I don't believe it, unless you lend me some money."
"I don't have the desire to activate my talent now."
Earth elements are natural miners, and hard rocks are like energy in front of them. The randomly shaped mud soon created a spacious underground hall underground.
The underground they are in is at least a few hundred meters away from the castle, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.
About ten meters away from where the scavenger dug, they found what the scavenger called a "secret passage", but due to disrepair, the passage collapsed seriously.
The earth elements cleaned up along the dark passage. The scavenger followed Annan up the steps and said that this secret passage used to belong to the owner of the castle and her lover.
“Isn’t this the territory of the Morel family before?”
“It has always been, but the previous head of the family was a female prince.” The Centurion lowered his voice, “It is said that she The undead are still wandering in the castle, looking for new victims... Ah!"
The centurion suddenly screamed, and she added: "You have to worry, Fresh and delicious little boys like you are the most popular among women..."
Annan was noncommittal: "How are you going to instigate vampires and rat men to continue fighting?"
"Let me hear your thoughts first."
"I don't know."
"Aren't you a warlock?"
"How can you have a warlock who is good at sowing discord? Prejudice?”
“This is a very distant story... Once upon a time, there was a warlock...”
"I don't want to hear it." Annan interrupted the centurion, thinking that she was hurt by the scar on her head.
The centurion's solution is to pretend to be a ratman and make a big fuss in the castle...No one knows the ratmen better than the scavengers, and even the ratmen don't understand themselves as well as they do. She was confident enough to make the vampires in the castle think, "There's a damn rat-man running in!".
"Too rough." But Annan didn't think this was a good idea.
“Do you have a better way?”
“It’s just a prototype at the moment...The external environment is that the Morel family is fighting with the Stern clan, but I think these two forces The inside of the body should not be a piece of iron. As long as we apply some force, we should be able to make them fall into a fight between vampires and ratmen, vampires against vampires, ratmen against ratmen..."
"Be more specific."
"I haven't thought about it yet..." Annan said helplessly, but as this was the first time someone trusted his wisdom, he thought about it seriously: "For example, if you pretend to be a rat man, Not only can you cause trouble, but you can also kidnap some vampires and steal some things, and then go to the Stun clan to pretend to be vampires and kidnap some rat people and steal some things..." "You also said that you are not good at provoking!"
Annan remembered that in Breeze City, the centurion was still a very calm scavenger... As for why it became like this, he attributed it to the changes in the status of both parties.
It is as if the vampire servant only sees the majestic and arrogant scene of the Crimson Princess, but does not know her true temperament.
As they approached the surface, they gradually reduced the noise they made. Annan sent the earth elementals back, leaving only one earth elemental to continue clearing the secret passage.
He, the Centurion, and Lemon watched the earth element work while listening to the Centurion talk about the situation in the north.
The actual situation in the north is much worse than the news received by Liberty City. Countless villages and towns have disappeared forever on the earth, and even the city-states that have been invaded by the ratmen are countless...
Mai The Ken clan had a big advantage. They rarely dealt with the rat people in the north. Because of the long winter, they also had no means to deal with the plague. Therefore, when the rat people carrying the plague invaded in large numbers, few were besieged by the rat tide. The city could last for more than ten days - Annan had already seen the horror of the rat tide. If he hadn't escaped by pretending to be rat men, Xingyue Bay wouldn't have been able to hold out for even ten minutes.
Scavengers can only rely on experience to guerrilla on the edge of the rat tide, but it is of no use... The number difference between rat people and scavengers is not simply 1:10. Most of the time, their number difference is 1: :100000 and above.
"This is why we have not established scavengers in your city-state. We are not only short of people, but also short of money..."
"Don't worry about the money problem, I will solve it for you."
< br>"You are such a good man, Annan." The centurion said movedly, "I will let them go to the Free City right now."
Annan suddenly woke up and put his hand into the pockets of rich people all day long. The centurion actually reached into his pocket?
In front of the secret passage, the earth element dug out a piece of moist soil.
They were not far from the ground.
......
The thunder rolled in the dark clouds for several hours, and the heavy rain finally fell on the Serens Mountains.
Williams set off on a rainy night and passed by the cemetery on the ground. No one noticed that a piece of soil in the cemetery was gradually loosening...
Pale lightning flashed across, Williams Set in an abandoned manor.
The long golden hair turned dark golden after being soaked in water. Williams deliberately did not cover the rain to highlight his deep feelings. But as soon as he arrived, he got bad news: the princess's knight was missing again.
Williams stared at the three viscounts and a marquis coldly: "He must have a way to leave the garden and find him!"
"Yes, my lord."
The vampire in front of him turned into a black shadow and disappeared on the thunderstorm night. Williams restrained his negative emotions and walked into the mansion with a charming smile.
The Crimson Princess came to the living room. After greetings, Williams pretended to ask casually: "Where is the knight?"
"My knight is resting."
Williams found some topics. His original intention was to get closer to the Scarlet Princess, but she either said "If this happens to my knight..." or "My knight told me...".
The Crimson Princess who always talks about "my knight..." makes Williams angry, but he is not angry with a servant - at least not on the surface.
"Dear Lena, what do you think about my promise?"
This time the Scarlet Princess did not say, "My knight asked me to think carefully before making a decision." But this was indeed what Annan asked her to say: "I think I need to think about it again..."
