City of Dimlight

Chapter 102 Channel

At midnight, Lionheart City is as bright as during the day, but there are obviously fewer pedestrians on the street, and only a few of them are in a hurry. Obix woke up in his sleep, thinking about Allen's words during the day, and remembered the battle with the Ravens.

"How do you feel if I was killed or Aurora was killed?"

This sentence hovered in his mind, and he gradually understood what Allen meant. Fighting and killing were forced to be taken. Try to avoid it when it could be avoided - it was easy to start the battle, but it was difficult to end. As long as the war ended, it was impossible to predict who died and who would live, or you fought. In the end, what life wants to protect not only loses, but also loses more, which is irreparable.

He remembered the deep melancholy in Allen's eyes. Although he didn't understand what the sadness in his eyes was for, he knew what it meant.

He touched his machete and felt a trace of cold scratching his fingertips. The knife did not bring him peace, but made him begin to hate - the child's heart finally returned to peace.

At breakfast, Allen stared at Obix. The rage in the child's eyes in the battle of the Ravens had disappeared and returned to his previous appearance. Smart child," Allen knew that he was not pretending and could not disguise himself so perfectly: "He finally understood the meaning of weapons - it seems that I can really accept a disciple!"

Suddenly, the window moved, and the little angel rushed in.

As soon as it came in, it shouted, "Bad news!" It began to shout, "The bridge has been washed away!"

"What bridge?" Allen asked.

"Oh, my God!" It continued to shout: "What a tragedy - the bridge ten miles outside Lionheart City was washed away by the backwater last night!" It began to fly around to find a foothold, as if it could solve this problem. How do you get there?"

Allen does not know this unique phenomenon of the earth and sea, but he is not strange to children - the earth and sea tides twice a year, pouring seawater back into the river, which may last for a few days or only a few hours, but there are often some tragedies at this time. For example, this is a good thing, which only broke a bridge, but it has a great impact on us travelers.

"Did you destroy the bridge?" Allen asked himself and answered, and he suddenly reacted, "How do you know? - Did you sneak out?"

"I'm just going out to have a look!" The little angel explained, "It won't be found!" He landed on the table: "I didn't go out to investigate for the smooth departure today!"

"But..." Alan seemed to want to say something, but he stopped after only two words. Finally, he just sighed: "You'd better be careful!"

"I know! I know!" Aurora saw that Allen did not blame himself, so she quickly reported the results of her exploration: "The bridge is the only way to get to the north - it can be repaired in about ten days!"

"You don't say there is only one way, do you?" Allen asked, "So you have been scouting for so long?"

The little angel smiled.

Obix shouted, "Ah! Aurora must have a way, Uncle Allen, look, it laughs so proudly!"

"I have a way!" The little angel said, "There is a passage that is said to reach the north, but it is a little dangerous!"

"What channel?" Allen just opened his mouth.

"I inquired, and some people know that there is a road in the crying mountains a few miles away from Lionheart City that can cross the river, reach the other side, and then go straight to the port in the north!" It said, "But it is said that there is a dark guard living there, guarding a treasure - I don't know what it is or who the guard is!"

Allen thought for a moment and slowly said, "What about taking the boat?" He thinks it's not a bad idea to take a boat, at least at sea, and it's faster.

"This is more tragic!" The little angel said exaggeratedly, "Due to the impact of anti-tide, all ships will not go to sea - it will take at least a week for boats to go to sea!" It asked, "Are we going to wait for a few days?"

Aron shook his head slowly. He was not sure whether the pursuers had been chased, or if they were chased, how far they were - in his opinion, the sooner he left the orcs kingdom, the better, at least the enemy's sphere of influence.

"That dangerous road," Allen asked, "How many days will it be?"

The little angel thought for a moment: "According to our speed, it is estimated that it will take about ten days, and the other journeys are estimated to take 20 days!" It was a little worried: "I'm afraid Obix is in danger!"

"Dangerous?" Allen smiled and said, "No! I can protect him!"

"I can also protect myself!" Obix stood up straight and patted the scabbard of the machete and raised his head proudly.

Aran touched his hair lovingly, "Then take that passage!" He made a decision: "I hope you have asked the way clearly!"

"Of course!" Aurora laughed loudly and flew into the air again.

※※※

As expected, they found the entrance to the passage a day later and headed north along the new passage. This is Allen's estimate. So far, they have been lucky all the way. They have been in the underground world for so many days and have not encountered more fierce monsters than a group of crows, which they themselves know.

A few days later, good luck seems to have changed.

"Eura, go and have a look!" Allen asked that they were squatting in a wide passage that he had walked, and he didn't like the green light shining in front of him. And this strange feeling of light made him very uneasy. Aurora was at least flying in the air, and he was fast and magical, which was much better than the three of them entering the trap together.

"I'll go first!" Aurora said that it flew out of Allen's arms. After 20 steps, you can come with me again. Alan nodded, and he turned around and wanted to leave. Wait!" When it was about to leave, Alan shouted, and he couldn't wait to look back.

"Be careful." Allen said that the child next to him also smiled and made a gesture, hoping that it would pay attention to safety. Aurora smiled back, and these human voices warmed his heart - it's really much better to have these human companions by his side. It turned around and left, with only intuition and caution.

It found that the green light came from a hole in the ground. The original channel continued to extend, but then a large turn of nearly 360 degrees. Aurora stopped on the road and squatted down to look into the hole. Ten feet under his feet, there was a short path perpendicular to the current road, extending to a seemingly large cave.

"What's going on?" Allen came behind him and asked in a low voice.

"Another way leads to a cave." The little angel replied. The green light came from there. He looked up and looked forward in darkness. We can still follow the original path.

Aren looked at the road they had walked before. A large corner of 360 degrees. He pointed out, "It's likely to go back to the road we passed an hour ago." He lay on the ground again and looked into the hole.

"What will this light cause?" The little angel asked and easily guessed that his curiosity was as strong as himself. An alternative moss?"

"As far as I know, there shouldn't be!" Allen replied.

"Should we go and find out?"

Alan smiled at him, then hooked the wall of the cave with his right hand and jumped into the cave and landed on the path ten feet below. Aurora then flew down and commanded Obix to land quietly at the bottom of the cave.

Now Allen is starting to take the lead again - he pulled out his machete to explore the glowing place.

They entered the wide stone room and looked up, high without seeing the top, and 20 feet were a pool of turbid ** scattered with green light. The lake was bubbling, sneering and emitting stench. There are more than a dozen narrow stone paths in front of you, ranging from one to ten feet wide, intersecting in the canyon, and most of the end of the stone path leads to other exits.

"My God!" The little angel who was shocked whispered, and Allen felt the same way.

"It looks like the ground has been destroyed." Allen said it so easily.

"It's dissolved." The little angel guessed the nature of **. He picked up a stone from his side, patted Allen for his attention, and then threw the stone into the lake. The stone fell on the liquid surface and then made a sneer, even before sinking.

"Acid." The little angel explained.

Aaron looked at him curiously. His brain knows the substance "acid", and the mage usually modulated this despicable ** as a spell experiment, but he did not know that acid would form naturally and exist in such a huge amount.

"I guess this is a masterpiece of a mage." The little angel said, "The result of the out-of-control experiment - acid water continues to corrode the stone and sinks inch by inch, which may have been a hundred years."

"But those stones look very strong," Allen said after observing, pointing to the staggered stone bridges. And we have more than 20 exports to choose from.

"Then we'd better start right away." The little angel said, "I don't like it here. We are exposed to the light, and I don't mind flying around on those narrow bridges - especially a pile of bubbling sour water underneath!"

Aran nodded and agreed and carefully stepped on the stone bridge, but Aurora quickly flew to him. He understood the little angel's intention and sincerely agreed with it. Although you can help me see the way, if the stone corrodes by itself, you can't feel it.

The little angel obviously disagrees. It's very good in my eyes!" He said uneasily, "I can help you find out any collapse and corrosion!" It insisted, "You are optimistic about Obix!"

Aran was persuaded, and he nodded: "Be careful!"

The little angel quickly began to lead the way, while Allen led the child behind.
