Warhammer Throne
Chapter 87: , Explore the deep mining area
The underground tunnels of Marienburg can be roughly divided into two areas, the shallow urban area and the deep mining area.
As mentioned above, the underground of Marienburg consists of numerous tunnels and pits. Due to large-scale illegal excavation and construction, every house in Marienburg canal area and civilian area has a basement linking underground tunnels, and many smuggling Passengers use these tunnels to enter Marienburg, merchants build warehouses and secret storage points underground, and even civilians unscrupulously build residential areas in underground tunnels.
But just in this way, what humans use is only a part of the underground tunnels, and this part of the area used by humans is the shallow urban area.
The rulers of Marienburg spent a lot of money to block and destroy some of the tunnels, and then sent additional manpower to guard some of the main tunnels, so the shallow city is relatively safe.
The real scary thing is the deep mining area.
There are countless complex and winding tunnels that no one knows where they lead. In the deep mining area, the deepest passage is said to lead to the molten underground and even the residence of the devil. Many humans in the deep mining area are threatened by degradation and corruption. Many chaotic sects are active in the dark, and there are also various fierce beasts and demons. According to eyewitnesses, they have seen rats as big as humans in the depths of the mines.
It was the infamous Skaven. The human empire had fought several wars with the Skaven hundreds of years ago. The empire achieved the final victory, but in retaliation, the emperor who was in power at the time died. The assassin of the mouse man assassinated at all costs.
Of course Marienburg would not sit idly by. Schultz’s method was to hire mercenaries to patrol and clean up the monsters regularly. Luring the mercenaries to accept the commission, in fact, there are indeed mercenaries who have found buried treasures in the deep mining area and made a fortune. Whenever this happens, Grand Duke Schultz will always generously announce the mercenaries. There is no need to pay taxes on this money and encourage more mercenaries to enter the deep mining area to explore, thereby triggering a wave of exploration after another.
Few people have noticed that more mercenaries are always forgotten.
The gate of the shallow city to the deep mining area was guarded by a large number of guards. Jacob did not say much. He took three apprentices and continued down the dark and deep mine: "Damn, damp, dark, **** fallen man, All three things I hate the most."
"Vice President, be careful. Listen to the guards. Recently, it seems that a new sect has appeared in the deep mining area." A young witcher pulled his hat, with a cautious tone: "It is said that the object of this sect's belief is a head. Grey dog."
"Then we are very lucky, because there is delicious dog meat to eat." Jacob barked his teeth, showing his teeth browned from smoking all the year round.
"Haha~" The demon hunters laughed together.
Yes, for the demon hunters who have spent their entire lives in battle, they really don’t have much fun. All they can enjoy is the food, fire, and women in the gaps between battles. .
Because the demon hunters are in contact with the chaotic creations all the year round, they are often affected physiologically. The production of antibodies to the chaos is one aspect. The long-term contact with the chaos also makes them bloodthirsty, physical mutations, and some of them are particularly exuberant. .
Burning a torch and walking in a dark tunnel. The narrower tunnel and depressing environment made the demon hunters feel very uncomfortable, so they began to look for the topic: "Where does Belt appear? Jok?"
The young demon hunter named Jock took out a fragment: "I found this in a huge warehouse about thirty minutes away from here. This fragment is undoubtedly part of the firecracker worn by Belt. He must have been fighting there."
"Huge warehouse?" Jacob thought of something: "A huge warehouse for storing what?"
"It's a warehouse where some candles and clothing are stored." Jok replied. These young witch hunters were all dressed up in the same way, all wrapped in thick clothing.
"Why are the candles stored together with the clothes?" Jacob immediately realized that something was wrong, but the master hunter still smiled weirdly: "But we have no choice. Even if we know there is a problem here, we have to investigate. , Because time does not wait for me, Belt may disappear again at any time."
This is the way the demon hunters act. Sometimes even if they know something is wrong, they will still investigate, because they need money and need to complete tasks.
As you go deeper, the tunnel becomes more damp and weird. The thick boots of the witcher are covered with drops of water. The deep groundwater of Marienburg seeps everywhere in this place. Many tunnels that have been in disrepair for a long time do not know where they lead. Where, the only thing that the demon hunters can rely on is the torches in their hands, but their torches are indeed a bit strange.
The torches in the hands of several demon hunters burned very vigorously, and the continuous burst of flames could illuminate the surrounding dark environment, and it had been burning for more than 20 minutes and there was no sign of extinguishing.
Under ordinary circumstances, no matter how exquisite the craftsmanship is, the burning time of such an exuberant torch will not exceed a quarter of an hour. The atmosphere when seeing a few people is very stiff. Did you get it from Senator Sophia?"
The relationship between the vice president of the Demon Hunter’s Guild and the Garland Congresswoman Sophia is well known, and Jacob never tried to hide it, but Jacob just grinned: “She gave it to me. I ran out a long time ago, and now we have a torch made by little Veronica. Haven't you all seen her?"
"Yes, she is really a beautiful witch, she is as beautiful as a rose with dew in the morning." Jock said with a smile: "At that time, many of our witch hunters were still betting in private, she Which demon hunter boy will be chosen as a partner."
"As a result, no one guessed correctly. She didn't like us demon hunters at all. The facts were as she wished. She has a close relationship with the recently famous Nord hero "Sledgehammer" Lane. Alas, if I were It's fine to be adopted by the lord." Another demon hunter was joking, but anyone could hear the envy in his voice.
"Little Veronica has a very high spirit." Jacob held the torch and looked at the mushrooms on the ground and the strange patterns on the tunnel walls: "She has picked up the baby. Ryan's growth rate is really fast. It is beyond imagination. He is not yet 25 years old this year, and he is already a legendary mid-level. I have lived for more than a hundred years. I have been stuck in the legendary high-level for almost 50 years. It seems that I have no chance to touch it in this life. Sanctuary."
"Don't say that, the vice president, you still have a lot of time." Some demon hunters comforted.
"No... I can already feel that my body is accelerating aging. In less than too many years, maybe ten, maybe twenty years, I will become a real old man, so we must hurry up, boys, be careful "Jacob knows that his body is gradually aging, and he must hurry up when he comes out to hunt down Belt this time, so that he can no longer let the fallen man get away with it.
Passing through a narrow tunnel, the deep mining area suddenly opened up in front of several demon hunters. The top of the 20-meter-high was supported by a large number of stone pillars and reinforced by many wooden shelves. Even after thousands of years, several A demon hunter can still vaguely see the outline of the existence of the giant sculpture of the dwarf. The deep mining area of Marienburg also has masterpieces of the dwarf remaining in it. Some adventurers find the treasure not to be unfounded, but real.
The four demon hunters marched in the tunnel in a low-key manner. They used sign language to communicate as much as possible. No one knew what was in the deep mine. This was a paradise for all kinds of monsters, but it was not human.
"Here, vice president, brothers." Jock found a place to go up. He used hooks and climbing skills to cross a humble low wall, and everyone discovered that he was walking a short distance along the top of the low wall. After the road, there is actually a road leading to another place.
"How did you find this ghost path?" Several demon hunters scolded and climbed up the low wall, and then walked along the wall, making them very uncomfortable to arch forward.
"It's a smell." Jok put his finger under his nose, and said softly: "Remember? People of the sect of evil people like to apply a lot of incense and perfume oil on their bodies. I'm checking When I got near here, I felt a pungent scent, so I looked for it for a long time before I found this entrance."
"Mmp, this can be found by you kid, if you have the ability." Jacob and the other two demon hunters laughed and cursed, and then stopped talking. Along a long corridor, a few people appeared together. Above the cliff and below the cliff is the warehouse that Jock detected.
The gate of the warehouse is locked by a chain. It is unlikely that ordinary and elite-level people will break this gate, and the warehouse is very secretive. There will not be many people who want to visit. A few demon hunters hide in the dark. Be careful Investigating everything.
"Well~ there are many kinds of footprints, including leather shoes, large leather boots, and... hoof prints and dance shoe prints. Some footprints are very new, some are very old. There should be people in this place." Jacob checked The footprints on the ground made a cautious gesture toward the demon hunter behind him: "This may be the settlement of the Chaos Sect, everyone, be careful."
Several demon hunters responded in a low voice. They extinguished the torch. One of the demon hunters gently walked to Jacob's side and said, "Vice President? What should we do now? Shall we go directly to explore this warehouse?"
Jacob motioned to the demon hunters to stay calm, his mutated amber eyes staring at the warehouse door.
"The chain in front of the door is tied in a special way, which proves that the person in charge of guarding or locking the door used to be a sailor."
"The iron gate does not look new, and the lock is full of signs of wear and tear, which shows that people often come and go here."
"Jock, are you sure you found this place yourself? Didn't you get lured by something?"
Jacob’s question made the young witcher Jock a little ignorant, so he thought about it carefully, and then said uncertainly: "Should...should it be? I remember that shortly after I went deep into the deep mining area, I met a group of strange people. Out of curiosity, I followed them for a while, and then I lost them near the wall. It took me a long time to find this entrance. The fragments were found at the entrance of the warehouse."
"Tsk, idiot, I suspect you were tempted by them, but... this kind of thing is hard to say, let's not rush in, now ambush here, everyone is ready." Jacob is also not sure whether Jock is true. Was tempted, the veteran master demon hunter thought carefully and made a decision: "Find a place and we will wait quietly. If Belt wants to ambush us here, then he must have done it. Prepare."
So a few demon hunters looked for a hidden place outside the warehouse, hidden themselves, and waited quietly for the development of things. In the darkness, only a few pairs of mutant eyes were left to monitor everything.
One hour passed.
Two hours, three hours...
After waiting for five hours, a large number of voices suddenly sounded in the silent warehouse. Numerous torches and loud yelling voices appeared one after another. Dozens of guards and several wearing full sets appeared in the previously unmanned warehouse. Mercenary in armor.
"Damn, the brain-dead of Oaks also said that someone would come here, but we waited for a few hours and there was no fart!"
"Yes! We were deceived!"
"Fuck it, anyway, we have been ambushing here for a full six hours according to his request, and those **** demon hunters still haven't appeared, then it has nothing to do with us!"
"Yes, I still have to pay the commission. Brothers, we have completed the task and withdrawn! Let's go back to the city and have a big meal!"
"Let's go, let's go~"
A large group of mercenaries and guards set off a torch. Under the operation of a mercenary, a gate appeared in the tightly stitched stone wall. These people walked out one by one, disappeared in the gate, and then the stone gate closed tightly again. .
"Sure enough, there is an ambush!" The three young demon hunters looked at the crossbows and a few firecrackers in the hands of the mercenaries, feeling cold. If they rushed in, they would most likely fall into an ambush.
"I knew there was an ambush." Jacob snorted, then motioned to a few people not to worry: "Wait, let's wait a while, these mercenaries may not really be gone."
A few restless demon hunters were a little puzzled by Jacob's orders, but still obeyed his orders and continued to wait.
Things were just as Jacob expected. Ten minutes later, the mercenaries and guards went back and forth. Seeing no one appeared, they really left.
The last group of people left, Jacob finally motioned to the demon hunters to get up: "Get up, boys, start acting!"
The four demon hunters gradually approached the warehouse, unaware that in the passage they came in, a tall man wearing a high top and a round hat and a blood-red leather jacket smiled: "Be cautious as always. It really is your style, Ya Kobu...Tutor!"
"But I know you too well, mentor."
"This warehouse is your cemetery!" WeChat search for the public account: wmdy66, you are lonely, Miss Sister warms you with movies
