Chapter 268 Sewers
Of course, when Aaron and others on the ground were still struggling in front of the Hanging Sword's station, they certainly didn't know that the drow elves named Bertram were quietly walking in the sewer of Leiden City.
Although there have been many accidents in the sewer, there are even many cultists living in the sewer and even building a stronghold in a hidden corner.
However, due to limited funding and energy, the city defense team of Laideng City was unable to search the entire sewer again.
Even after repeated attempts, Horace was well aware of this.
Leiden City has a mature and sound sewer system, with three layers at the top and bottom.
Even if you bring the map in, you may be fascinated by it for a while if you are not careful.
Those dirty and shameful things are suitable for hiding in such darkness where there is no sunshine.
And for Bertram, the same is true.
He has lived underground for a long time and has a natural sense of favor for the dark and dull environment, and can only gain peace in the darkness.
If exposed to the sun, even when he was wearing clothes, he felt as if he was naked, and he felt an unknown fear.
Yes, he is an alien among the Drow Elves, and seems to be born with inexplicable resistance to the sun.
He is a mixed-race child in the Drow Elves family, and is something that is despised by those long-eared elves.
The surface elves despise the drow elves underground, while the drow elves look down on the mixed races of the same race.
It seems that they were born to be of higher or lower in terms of origin and bloodline.
It seems that all the elves are happy about it.
The dim vision and infrared vision quietly opened, and the darkness that had originally disappeared from his hands was as bright as daylight in front of Bertram.
He leaned his waist and walked carefully, making no sound as much as possible, and even deliberately eliminated his own footprints.
If he hadn't dropped all kinds of gadgets when he was running away, he would have hung his body and crawled over the stone wall above his head like a spider.
Of course, as a nobleman, even a mixed-race child or a drow elf, he still did not have the courage to jump into the sticky stagnant water unless he had no choice.
In this matter, he still has his persistence without involving life-threatening circumstances.
only……
At this moment, Bertram sighed that only he could hear.
He really doesn't know where to go.
The family has been wanted by several maids. At this moment, I guess the whole family should have died from the butcher-turned-elf-like butcher-turned-elf-like knife?
Sometimes, he really doesn't know why the patriarch wants to protect him.
Just because of the so-called...thin paper-thin love?
Whenever he thinks of this, he always feels a little uneasy.
Perhaps he was lucky enough to escape from the underground world with all his might and ran into a group of people who could still save him.
Well, now he can still walk freely in the sewer.
I have to say that freedom may be the last thing he deserves to be proud of.
If they were caught by that group of people, they would probably be dragged into the cave, picked by a spider, and eventually become a spider-turned elves that are not elf, spider-turned elves...
Even though Bertram was only fortunate to see it once, he swears that even if he dies in the future, he will never become that kind of thing.
He cut off his lower body, and ruthlessly pieced together the upper body and the abdominal sac of some kind of giant spider, and then wrapped the wound with spider silk grass...
It doesn't seem to be anything.
But when the spider's belly cyst is as big as a calf, when the spider-turned elf rushed over with his sword feet tall, almost no one could compete with it head-on.
After all, what you have to face is not only the elite Drow Ranger who wields two elves scimitars, but also some kind of spider who can control eight sword feet at the same time.
To a certain extent, the spider-turned elves symbolize the will of the Lord and have always assumed the responsibilities of the law enforcement team.
Bertram was walking cautiously in the sewer while thinking about it.
Through the subtle traces, he could tell that there seemed to be frequent people coming and going in the nearest sewer.
Some traces are even very fresh.
When I met those underground people, Bertram had thought of stealing away.
However, every time he acts, he seems to be targeted by an existence.
Every escape action is always forced to end in a creepy feeling.
Bertram could vaguely understand the meaning of this feeling - if you run away, you will die!
Therefore, he followed honestly, allowing the crappy extraordinary wizard to put ice shackles on him.
What a joke, who is he?
Bertram!
Bertram, who was able to escape from several major Zoer families!
That is, he dare not escape, otherwise...
That's it?
Thinking of this, Bertram was secretly happy and proud of his decisiveness.
Just now, just now, on the street, he clearly felt that the feeling of being monitored disappeared.
Before he could think about it, he made a quick decision and seized this precious opportunity very decisively. He used a cloak as a substitute. However, at some point he quietly sneaked into a small alley and then found an opportunity to get into the sewer.
Only here is the rare place in the surface world where the sun cannot be seen all day long.
Through the past few days of living in the surface world, Bertram also discovered it.
Although the damage sunshine did not cause him as fatal as it was to his fellow tribes, he could not ignore it either.
If he is exposed to the sun for a long time, he will still feel "hot and boiling".
Of course, this sewer cannot stay for a long time.
If those people really wanted to find him, they would probably think of the sewer in a short while.
But Bertram didn't care much about this.
When those people think of the sewer, they probably should have left the sewer, right?
Next, just think about how to hide yourself and how to steal a thicker hood...
Thinking of this, Bertram's steps became a little more cheerful.
However, before he could take a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
The empty sewer was silent.
No, there are still some.
With the excellent hearing learned from the underground world, Bertram could clearly feel that there seemed to be a slight sound of water not far away...
It seems that something is in the water?
Bertram covered his nose, walked to the waterside, stretched his neck and looked at the stink water, and hurriedly shrank back, almost being smothered by the stench.
To be honest, it is hard to imagine that something can survive in such a harsh environment.
Is it...slime?
While thinking, Bertram quietly restrained his breathing and tried his best to lower his heartbeat in a special way.
He hid in the shadows and quietly waited for something to arrive.
