Dudian's eyes lit up as he thought of something. He jumped down from the mammoth's head as the carriage approached. He looked at the two knights of light: "What are you doing?"
One of the middle-aged Knights of Light didn't answer Dean's words. He looked up and down at Dean. He frowned: "Are you hunters from the New World consortium?"
"Yes."
"There have been frequent anomalies in the passage outside the giant wall. There are traces of giant monster activity outside. Are you going out to hunt? I advise you to go back so that you won't be treated as a free meal by the giant monsters outside the passage. "The middle-aged Knight of Light indifferently said.
Dean smiled: "Thank you for reminding us. But we are under the orders of the consortium. We can't make our own decisions."
"Humph!" The middle-aged Knight of Light snorted: "If you insist on going out then don't blame me for not warning you if you lose your life!"
Dean was used to the sarcastic words of the Knight of Light. He smiled: "Then I will trouble you to help me open the passage."
"Courting death!" A young knight muttered in displeasure. Although his voice was a bit low, but it was obvious that everyone present could hear him.
The other Knights of Light looked at Dean and Nicotine with a bit of disdain and ridicule in their eyes. A thin youth who was standing in the back stared at Dean suspiciously. He couldn't help but exclaim: "You, are you architect Dean?"
Dean nodded: "Yes, it's me."
The middle-aged knight, the young knight and the others looked at Dean in amazement. They didn't expect that the famous genius would be standing in front of them. Although they were familiar with Dean's name but they didn't have much free time to read newspapers. Therefore they didn't recognize Dean's appearance.
Dean didn't want to delay here for too long. He took out his architect's medal and hunter's medal and showed them to the middle-aged knight: "I'm here to escort our consortium's hunters to establish a stronghold outside the giant wall. I'll have to trouble you to open the way."
The middle-aged knight politely said: "I've heard that architect Dean has a good relationship with the New World consortium. I didn't expect you to be responsible for establishing a stronghold for their hunters. You are really versatile!"
Dean knew that the middle-aged knight didn't know much about him. The Temple had deliberately covered up his identity as a hunter. At the same time he rarely appeared in noble gatherings and didn't stir up any big movements. He glanced at the middle-aged knight: "You are a member of the Char family. Give my regards to your family head."
The middle-aged knight's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect you to have heard of my family. It's an honor."
"You are too polite." Dean looked back at the mammoth carriage and said to Nicholas: "Get ready to unload the goods."
Nicholas was secretly surprised as he saw the conversation between Dean and the middle-aged knight. He had never seen the arrogant Knights of Light being so polite and humble to others. He nodded and turned to leave.
The middle-aged knight looked at Dean and ordered the Knights of Light to open the passage door: "Architect Dean, this passage isn't safe. You have a distinguished body so let the hunter do the rough work. We can't afford the responsibility if anything happens to you …"
Dean patted his shoulder: "Don't worry. I'll be back soon."
The middle-aged knight smiled. He wanted to continue to persuade Dean but Dean raised his hand to stop him. The middle-aged knight sighed and waved to the Knights of Light to assist Nicholas in unloading the goods.
The shark spears rolled in coarse cloth were lifted one by one. The heavy weight made the Knights of Light speechless. They were full of curiosity but didn't dare to peek because Dean was standing next to them.
Soon all the things were unloaded from the carriage.
Dean asked Nicotine to move to the passage. After everything was piled up in the passage, he said goodbye to the middle-aged knight and entered the passage. He closed the heavy passage door.
Under the dim light of the oil lamps in the tunnel, the rock walls on both sides of the tunnel were engraved with magnificent war pictures of humans and monsters. They looked slightly ferocious in the dark and overlapping light. In the middle of the tunnel, there were two beautiful and graceful goddesses who were staring at the people under the wall with smiles on their faces.
Nicholas was full of curiosity as he came to the giant wall passage for the first time. Dean urged him. Both of them moved the shark spear to the exit on the other side of the passage. Dean took off the lock and sniffed along the gap. The air was filled with a very faint smell. It was mixed with the smell of splitter. His eyes narrowed. Splitter really came here.
Judging from the concentration of the smell, the latter shouldn't be here at the moment.
Dean slowly opened the giant door. A narrow sky came into view. He looked around and saw a few huge dents on the ground. He recognized that they were the footprints of splitter.
Dean's muscles slightly tightened as he looked around. Once he left the door he would be completely isolated from the safe environment. Once splitter sensed him then there would be no possibility of survival.
The magic marks of splitter were very strong and had a wide range of smell. Dean quietly sniffed for ten minutes. He saw that there was no movement so he opened the giant door. He waved to Nicholas to move the shark spears to the ground outside. His eyes were always vigilant while moving the spears. If splitter suddenly appeared then he would immediately drill into the passage to escape.
The size of the passage was too small for splitter to squeeze in.
Nicholas looked around while moving the shark spears. In his more than sixty years of life he had heard of the outside world countless times. But he had never seen it with his own eyes. Although he was different from some of the boys and girls who had hope of exploring the outside world, but his heart was full of curiosity. At the moment he had the opportunity to see it with his own eyes. He could vaguely see a desolate ruin. Weeds were growing everywhere. It seemed that someone had lived here.
Shocked, he turned his head and looked around. Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he almost screamed. After holding back his uncontrollable scream, he hurriedly pulled Dean and pointed to the entrance behind them.
Dean looked back and his face suddenly changed.
On the towering wall behind the passageway, there were more than a dozen scratches that were several inches deep, crisscrossing each other. Each scratch was more than ten meters long, some even more than twenty meters long. It was not hard to imagine what kind of giant creature had caused this damage.
Dean took a deep breath. He was shocked by the destructive power of splitter. He was shocked by the hardness of the giant wall. No wonder it was able to shelter humans for three hundred years! It had been more than three hundred years since he had awakened but the giant wall was still intact. He had never heard the news that the giant wall had been damaged.
Nicotine's shock was hard to conceal. He had heard countless stories about monsters but he never thought that there would be such a terrible thing. He couldn't imagine the monster that had caused such long scratches. What kind of shape and shape did it have?
Dean gently put the shark spear on the ground and came to the front of the giant wall. He looked up at the lowest sharp mark. From the groove of the sharp mark he could see the rough stone particles. The giant wall seemed to be made of stone. There was nothing special about it. But how could a giant wall made of sand and stone have such a high defensive strength? How could it withstand the attack of the monster for more than three hundred years?
