Juliana’s workshop Chapter 42: Vertical Down


   “Your expectations of me are too high.” Julius’s face was a little helpless, “I’m not so good enough to let you in and out of the sewer at will…You should be very clear about this. “

   Julius hasn’t become airy because of Lei’s flattery. He also went to some more dangerous places with Lei before, and encountered many thrilling things, like hordes of skeletons, and The insidious and cunning group of small fangs, these are very tricky things, plus Lei is not a fighting force at all, every time he is alone in the forefront, eliminating these dangers one by one. It’s not really a deadly encounter and battle, for Julius, it’s a surprise, but it will be more tiring.

   “So, don’t I have to rely on my cleverness?” Lei’s right hand stretched out her thumb and pointed at herself. “My nose and eyes are still very sensitive. If there is something we can’t handle. I’m not going to take you to the risk, so don’t worry.”

  Lei has said so, and Julius is not happy to say anything about this matter. And he wasn’t really worried about his safety, he was just a little worried about Lei. Even in danger, he still has the ability to protect himself, because he was tortured by Lulunaka. In Lei’s words, apart from being “smart”, she doesn’t seem to have any ability to get rid of danger.

   Julius is very worried about how he should protect Lei in a strange but dangerous environment, although Lei has given him great trust.

   “Be careful, okay?” Thinking of this, Julius couldn’t help but say more.

   “This is of course, there is only one life, I don’t want to just throw it underground like this.” Lei laughed.

   Julius looked at Lei’s smiling face, wondering if she had listened to what he said, because she seemed to be too indifferent-although she was not a person who took other people’s words to the ears. Is it because she is too confident? It was difficult for Julius to understand what Lei was thinking about in Gothe’s heart. She is cautious in what she does, but sometimes it is scary to be bold.

  At this time, the speed of the platform suddenly slowed down. It seemed to be stuck by something, and suddenly paused for a few moments, making Julius and Lei standing on it unstable for a while. Although it would not fall down like this, this bump makes people worry about whether it will suddenly happen. Broken, just get stuck here, or fall directly, causing the people on it to fall into flesh.

   “What’s the matter?” Julius stretched out his hand and pressed the surrounding walls to fix his body.

  ”It’s going through a middle exit, so it’s a little uncomfortable when I stop.” Lei replied, “Don’t worry, since I can come back alive and bring you here, then it shouldn’t be a big problem. .”

   The platform was slowly descending, and finally stopped. In front of Julius and Lei, an exit appeared in front of them from bottom to top. As Lei said, this is an exit that can leave the platform. If you look out from the inside, the outside is a dark space, very quiet, only the sound of water droplets, neither the bones of skeletons rubbing, nor the tiny fangs. Exhale sound.

   Julius walked outside with a torch in one hand and a long sword in the other. After entering this space, Julius discovered that it was quieter than expected, and there was no wind.

   Lei followed him, “I’ve been here before, because it’s quiet and I don’t feel any danger, so I walked around and found that this is a closed space, and only the platform behind us is connected to it. “

   Julius didn’t dare to take it lightly. Lei’s words didn’t let him relax his vigilance, but let him not be so nervous. “Is this a closed space? How big is it?”

  ”It’s not too big, it’s only half the size of a rat road. It’s the end after a few steps, and there seems to be no room to hide.” Lei said, “And there seems to be nothing of value…it seems to be very early. It’s been searched before, but I don’t know who it is.”

   Julius touched something at his feet. He lowered his head and saw a skull. The skull had no mandible and was attached to the ground. The eye sockets without eyeballs looked at Julius very peacefully.

   Julius will not start to jump up because of such a small surprise now, but he still jumped in his heart. The appearance of something like a skull shows that there was something like death here, no matter what it has been. How long has it disappeared, or still exists here. Fortunately, this skull may not be able to jump up and give Julius more surprises. Even if it can still move, it can’t even bite without a chin.

   “Did you have this when you came?” Julius picked up the skull and showed it to Lei. When Lei saw the stuff in Julius’s hand, she didn’t seem too surprised, “Yes, it turned out to be hung on the wall, but I took it down and it was quite troublesome to hang it up, so…” Lei shrugged and stuck out her tongue, looking like a kid who had made a prank.

   Julius put the skull aside. There are a lot of things like tables in this space, with stone slabs on the top and columns supported on the bottom. The skull was placed on a table that he didn’t know what it was made of. It felt as hard as a stone and did not feel like metal. With his knowledge, he really didn’t know what material it was. , But it feels very comfortable to the touch. When the fingers are sliding on it, it seems to be stuck on it. When I want to withdraw my hand, ~IndoMTL.com~ will not stick his hand to it.

   The skull has a better place to rest, but it doesn’t seem to have any intention of thanking Julius. It’s dark in its eyes, and nothing can be seen. If anyone could tell, he would probably be regarded as a madman or a dangerous necromancer.

   As Lei said, this place is not big, it looks like a place for people to live in, but there are no residents anymore, so it was deserted, knowing that Julius and Lei came here.

   The two walked around for a while, and it didn’t take long to walk around this place, which allowed Julius to figure out the structure of this place roughly. A very ordinary square space, there are things that look like furniture, but there are basically no things that can be taken away, unless he is willing to take the skull away. It looked like it was looted here, and I don’t know when this happened. This place is also cool and humid, and it is difficult for dust to accumulate in this place, but the damage to this place by water vapor is no worse than that of dust. The corner of the wall was covered with dark green moss, and there was a moldy smell in the air that seemed to stick to the nose.

   The two did not waste too much time in this place, because there is really nothing to find here. Back to the platform, Lei stepped on the raised brick on the ground, the platform started again, and continued to move down. This strange place just disappeared before Julius’ eyes.

   “There really is nothing, just a skull.” Julius said.

   “So we have to go deeper and see if there is something that no one else has found but we can find.” Lei said, “It may be a little dangerous, but there is a risk, and it will be rewarded. Right?”

   Julius could not deny what Lei said.
