Juliana’s workshop Chapter 15: Fork Road
“Some terrible things, I can’t name them anyway.” Hatchet replied, “Weird shapes, no one would name those things. It’s okay if those things don’t move, but they are all active , And a very hostile existence.”
“If you say that, I can’t understand what it is.” Marina said.
The hatchet just shook his head, “I’m a big boss, I can’t describe to you in detail what it is. I only know that they are all deformities. If caught by them, you will die very much. Misery… That’s enough. Okay, the two ladies, it’s time to move on. Chris is sure that there is no danger ahead.”
Hatchet said so, but it seemed that he was too lazy to talk about the sewers. He wanted the team in front of him to move forward more than chatting here. Chris made a gesture to this side from the front, and the gesture was just within the range of the light, so that the short axe could clearly see. Then the hand returned to the darkness, and even Chris’s vague figure could not be seen anymore, and he continued to walk in the forefront.
Marina and the others moved again. Ikoo and Hatchet continued to add fire to the torch stands on the road ahead. Some could still burn, but some could no longer be lit. Behind this team, there is a channel that has been lit. With more light sources, the space seemed to become a lot more lively, and the light stimulated those little beings to become more active. Although a bit noisy, these little things are not dangerous—provided that there are not many.
Lulunaka, who was following Marina, moved her ears imperceptibly, and she showed a strange smile facing Marina’s back. No matter the person in front or behind, no one could see it. . The team moved slowly, because Chris was investigating in the front, and Hatchet did not intend to urge the people in front to move forward quickly, and he had to pay attention to the movement behind him at any time to prevent any uninvited guests.
“Marina.” Lulunaka whispered to Marina in front of her, and walked beside her. She walked close to Marina’s right hand, because Marina’s magic book was hanging on the left side of her waist. Although this is a friendly female mage, Lulu Naka tries to avoid stimulating a mage because of some unnecessary and unnecessary actions, and touching a mage’s magic book is one of them. In fact, the most important reason is that Marina is following a follower on the left, and she doesn’t want Ikeo to hear about some women’s topics.
“What’s the matter, Lulunaka?” Marina asked.
“I heard from my uncle that the existences that are still active in the underground are indeed deformed things.” Lulunaka said, “but they are not all existences with life, if my uncle If you’re not deceiving, I heard that there are armors and swords that can move on your own. It’s like being possessed by the soul of a dead person…”
When she heard Lulunaka’s words, Marina just smiled, “It’s really scary. There is no pain in that kind of thing, and there is no fear of this kind of thing.” What Lulunaka said Marina was not too surprised. For a mage, it would be a joke if he was surprised to hear the moving armor and sword. What’s more, the armors and weapons that can move on their own are the enemies that will appear in most stories. They are one of the trials for heroes, wizards, warriors and knights to sharpen themselves…maybe it is their burial place.
“Are you scared?” Marina asked. Lulunaka nodded honestly, “Yes, I’m scared…because I can’t fight those things at all. My uncle fell under a cold and ruthless weapon. He hasn’t recovered yet, so I have to take a risk. Go underground to find materials for the preparation of medicines. Those things that can move on their own but have no emotions, just think about it, and fear fills my heart. But I have to go here, otherwise my uncle is not saved. He is willing. The good man who has raised me for so many years, I can’t let him die like this.”
Marina thought, this is really a lovely and kind girl, for the sake of her relatives, even if she is trembling with fear, she must go alone to such a terrible place underground, just to get those expensive and unaffordable To save her uncle. “Relax, as long as you stay with us, you will not be in danger.” Marina said to Lulunaka, which made Lulunaka look at ease, the tension on her face disappeared and she returned to a smile. , Although this smile still remains uneasy.
“In this underground, is there anything that allows you to risk this? Is that thing really useful for your seriously injured uncle?” Marina continued to ask.
Lulunaka nodded, “Yes, it’s a kind of glowing moss found deep underground–not something slippery around us. Although the glowing moss is also very slippery and disgusting, it is A kind of moss that can glow, I think it’s easy to identify.” Lulunaka replied, “That is not a normal moss. If I can find a small piece, I will scrape it off and mash it with a mortar. , With a little more effort, it can be used as an external medicine.”
”It’s a magical thing.” Marina said, “I have never heard of plants with this kind of function, and they grow underground.”
“Because it is an underground product, you don’t know.” At this time Ikoo interjected, “Moreover, the number of glowing moss is decreasing. Because the demand is too great, I heard The areas above the ground also have luminous moss. Because they are safe and easy to handle, they have been shaved off… Finally, only the dangerous areas deeper underground may have them.”
Ekoo saw Lulunaka’s face become sad, and quickly changed her words, “Of course, there are still less dangerous areas, and there are still glowing moss. It’s just that for ordinary people, it’s not possible. Wherever I go, there are fewer people coveting this magical plant.”
“I still have a chance to get it, don’t I?” Lulunaka’s face was full of pitiful expressions, looking straight at Ikoo, making Ikoo turn her head in embarrassment, “Of course. , You still have a chance, be optimistic.” Seeing Lulunaka’s shining eyes, Ikoo couldn’t say anything to discourage Lulunaka, but to get Glowing Moss, it might be a A rather difficult thing. But Lulunaka is at least not without chance now, if she really walks deep underground by herself, it might even be a question of whether she can survive.
The team continued to move forward until Chris reached out his hand to signal the people behind to stop. “It’s a fork in the road,” he said to the people behind.
“Why stop?” Marina asked the hatchet behind her.
” He wants to listen to the voice~ IndoMTL.com~ Xiaoxue replied, “He can hear the sounds of different roads there, and listen to whether there is any unusual movement. This is why he asked us to stop, because our presence will prevent him from quieting down and hearing more voices. “
“I have heard it.” Chris’ voice came over, “Your voice is already disturbing me now. If you want to take a safer road next, please be quiet.”
Hatchet just hummed a few times, looking as if he didn’t care at all. Since Chris is still interjecting, it proves that the place where they are now is considered safe.
“Come here.” After a while, Chris said so, speaking very concisely, as if saying one more word would cost most of his energy.
Lulunaka and they walked over to Chris, this time Chris did not hide from the light of the torch, and stood there, but the shadow still blocked his face. In front of Chris, there are three roads, two of which are passages for people to pass, and the height is just the height of a hatchet that does not need to bend over. Both of these two pipes have fine water flow, which is exactly the depth that can submerge the sole of the shoe. Two pipes lead to the left and right respectively, and there is another road, not a pipe, but a vertical hole. The hole looked like it had been forcibly cut, with broken marks on the edge, and the size of the hole was large enough to allow two people to fall side by side, and then fell to death together. The entrance of the hole is in the middle of the two pipes, forming a wonderful picture.
“There are three roads in front of you.” Chris said to the people who came by, “One goes northeast, the other goes southeast, and the other is… directly deeper underground.” Chris pointed to the ground. At the entrance of the cave, he was standing on the edge of the entrance, with his foot on the edge.
