In a corner of the underground maze.
In the depths of the dark and deep tunnel, a series of puffing noises could be heard. Coupled with the dark wind blowing from the depths of the tunnel, it was as if some kind of giant beast was roaring while letting out a long breath.
The rumbling sound wasn't too scary, but the long "breath" … was rather stinky.
And it spread far and wide. It even reached from the depths of the tunnel to the outside.
As long as a lifeform could smell the stench of the Ghost Wind, they would never choose to enter it, because this stench even exceeded the knowledge of living creatures. Even the monsters that lived in the sewers all year round would stay away from this stench.
However, in the face of the foul wind, a dark shadow quickly flashed across the wall and rushed into the tunnel.
The reason why Lin Sanjiu said it skimmed over the wall and not the ground was because the black shadow had merged with the wall itself. At first glance, it looked like a flat square black shadow, but in reality, it was a hole in the wall.
However, the "hole" could move freely on the wall. It could even adjust the depth of the hole to avoid the magic array inside the wall.
If Angor and the others were here, they would recognize the hole as the same one they had seen many times before — the dog hole on the wall. It was also the strange existence that swallowed the black merchant and left him half-dead.
The "dog hole" quickly moved across the wall. Soon, it arrived at the depths of the tunnel.
The scene in the depths of the tunnel was revealed.
There was a "cliff".
Below the cliff was an underground cavern. It was a large but sealed underground cavern. Apart from the tunnel above the cliff, there were no other entrances or exits.
If one stood on the "cliff" and looked down, they would see that the underground cavern looked like an upside-down bowl. There was a dome above, and the ground below was full of potholes.
The ground was full of potholes because of the green, decaying liquid everywhere. The liquid was acidic. It was not strong, but after years of accumulation, it had corroded most of the ground.
Around the Catacombs, white bones were piled up in a mess. There were all kinds of bones, but most of them came from monsters.
In the middle of the Catacombs was a pile of mud that was piled high.
To be more precise, it was a huge monster that was about ten meters tall and covered in mud.
The slime monster was constantly oozing mucus from the top. Most of the mucus moistened the monster's body, but some of it turned into a black ghastly wind that blew in all directions.
This black wind was the stench that had spread throughout the entire tunnel.
As for the spitting sound from before, it was the sound of the mucus spitting out and rolling down the body.
The flying "dog hole" did not enter the Catacombs. Instead, it stopped at the end of the tunnel. At the same time, a small voice came from the dog hole. "Lord Ruler, are you there? Are you there? Are you there? "
"Lord Ruler! Lord Ruler! "
Although his voice was soft, he kept repeating it over and over again, as if he wouldn't stop until he called out 'Lord Ruler'.
After shouting for an unknown number of times, an echo finally came from the Catacombs.
"That's enough." It was a young and inexperienced voice. It sounded a little like a boy or girl in the voice changing period. It was hard to tell if the voice was male or female. The voice was not loud, nor was it authoritative. However, when the "dog hole" heard the voice, it immediately shut up.
It was worth mentioning that the voice came from the slime monster's stomach.
The silence lasted for about two minutes. At this time, an oval-shaped light shield suddenly floated out of the mouth of the slime monster that had been spitting out the stench.
The light shield was very thick. One could vaguely see a shadow inside, but no specific details could be seen.
"Netherworld Slave, get rid of it. I've already extracted all of its mucus. It's basically useless. "The young and inexperienced voice came from the light shield.
As soon as the voice finished speaking, a gentle voice immediately sounded. "Lord Ruler's will is Goddess' will. I'll follow Lord Ruler's orders."
This voice came out of nowhere. It was clear but not loud. It was as if every corner of the Catacombs was the source of the voice, but also as if it came from outside the tunnel.
"However, Lord Ruler, I might not be able to digest this slime monster. Can I banish it deeper into the sewers?"
"That's up to you." The young and inexperienced voice in the light shield replied to Netherworld Slave as it flew out of the Catacombs and stood next to the "dog hole".
However, this "light shield" called "Lord Ruler" did not pay attention to the dog hole next to it. Instead, it watched the Catacombs below.
A few seconds later, a deep hole appeared in the middle of the Catacombs. The slime monster fell directly into the deep hole.
After the slime monster disappeared, a large number of tornadoes emerged from the deep hole. These tornadoes completely scattered and swallowed up the remaining dark wind in the Catacombs.
After confirming that there was no more black wind in the air, Netherworld Slave's voice came from the deep hole.
"Lord Ruler, I can only deal with level two pollution at the moment. If I want to continue, I need you to leave my body first."
"There's still level two pollution even like this. The smell of this slime monster after being filtered and diluted is worth looking forward to," the voice in the light shield muttered to itself.
Then, the thick light shield began to peel off layer by layer. It only stopped when there were only two layers left.
Level two pollution meant that the smell was still unpleasant. Two layers of light shields were needed.
The higher the level of pollution, the stronger the stench.
Most of the smelly drains outside were level one pollution. It was clear that the smell here was still quite unpleasant.
In the beginning, the level of pollution here was level five. This could be seen from the number of light shields on Lord Ruler's body. The correspondence here did not mean that one layer represented level one. When the level of pollution exceeded level two, the number of light shields needed increased exponentially.
Level two pollution was already higher than most of the smelly drains outside. One could imagine how terrifying level five pollution was. If the Black Earl's nose was here, he would probably faint on the spot.
With only two layers of light shields left, the appearance of Lord Ruler could finally be seen.
This was a young man who looked like he was 12 or 13 years old. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and a black robe. At first glance, he looked very gentle. However, he was very different from ordinary people. His skin was blue, and there was an extra eye on his forehead. Because of this, the glasses he wore were triangular, three-rimmed glasses. He looked very strange.
"Then you continue to deal with it. I'll leave this to you. I'll leave first." The young man looked a little tired. His three eyes were drooping. Yawning, he walked out of the tunnel.
However, before he could go far, a small voice came from the "dog hole". "Lord Ruler, you forgot about me!"
The young man with three eyes stopped and turned to look at the dog hole on the wall. "Didn't you come here to skip work to see your mother? Every time you find a reason, it's irrelevant. You don't have to make up a reason. "
"I really have a reason this time! There are outsiders who broke in from the front of the prison! "
After hearing this, the young man still acted very indifferent. "The Traveling Merchants Organization?"
"Yes. The Black, White, and Gray Merchants all took action. However, now that the Black and White Merchants have returned, only the Gray Merchants are left. "
"Don't worry about them. They're cleaning up the monsters in the smelly sewers and preventing them from invading the mortal world. It's beneficial for us." From his words, one could tell that he did not have any ill intentions towards the Traveling Merchants Organization.
There were too many monsters in the smelly sewers. Indeed, specialized people were needed to deal with them. Firstly, it could prevent them from disturbing the outside world. Secondly, after the monsters died, their energy would return to the magic array, which would help the magic array operate for a long time.
Therefore, although he did not officially deal with the Traveling Merchants Organization, many times, when the Traveling Merchants Organization worked in the underground sewers, he would secretly ask them to make things easier.
After all, these were all free labor.
"But, not only the Traveling Merchants Organization, there are also a few outsiders who broke in. The Traveling Merchants Organization seems to be chasing after these outsiders. "
"Outsiders? Who are they? "
The small voice described for a long time. There was not much information. He only knew that there were a lot of them, and … they were hidden in an illusion.
"A moving illusion? Interesting. " Although the young man said that, his expression was still indifferent. "Other than that?"
"That's all." The small voice mumbled.
"Okay, I admit that you have a reason to come this time, but it's still not worth paying attention to." The young man waved his hand. "However, I agree that you can stay here. You can clean up the pollution here with your mother. I don't want to smell anything the next time I come here. "
The small voice came from the dog hole. "Master said it's interesting …"
"I said it's interesting, but it doesn't mean it's worth paying attention to. This place has become a ruin. There's nothing to explore. No matter who it is, they will leave sooner or later … or stay here forever. Don't bother. "The young man's voice grew softer and softer, which meant that he was getting farther and farther away from the underground cavern.
When the young man's figure disappeared, Netherworld Slave said softly in a gentle voice, "You should learn from your brother. Don't always come to me."
Even though You Nu said that, he still created a deep hole that covered the small hole.
"But it's so boring over there. Mother's place is more comfortable …"
Although it was a strange scene, the mother-son relationship, or rather, the mother-daughter relationship, was not fake.
The mother and son "hugged" for a while, and then Netherworld Slave said softly, "I can feel that the Lord Ruler has left my body. Then let's begin. Let's clean up the filth here for the Lord Ruler and the Goddess."
…
On the other side, after the young man walked out of the tunnel, the tunnel behind him slowly closed. This also meant that Netherworld Slave had begun to clean up the level two pollution.
"I've only stayed in that stinky sludge monster's body for half a month, and I'm already so tired. The human body is really weak. "
"A moving illusion … The underground cavern is rarely lively, but I should go to sleep. Sigh …"
After stretching, the young man walked in another direction.
It didn't take long before it saw a magnificent hall.
After passing through the door of the hall, he saw a huge domed hall.
The hall was very simple. Rows of books were placed on the circular walls. Walking in, it was like walking into a library.
The young man picked up a thick book and dragged his tired body through a small path on the side of the hall. He arrived at a room slightly smaller than the library outside.
Looking at the thick white carpet on the floor, the young man yawned. "Finally, I can rest now. As for making perfume for that person … I'll talk about it when I wake up."
While mumbling, the young man's body began to expand. Soon, he turned from a short human boy into a gigantic monster about four meters tall.
It was the Three-Eyed Blue Devil.
Yes, this young man was one of the Lords of the Underground Waterway. He was also the one Angor had to meet.
The Three-Eyed Blue Devil strode over to the warm fireplace. The carpet on the floor gave it a comfortable feeling.
It slowly lay down, curled up, and closed its eyes.
However, just as it was about to fall asleep, the three-rimmed glasses on the side suddenly flickered.
"Three-Eyed," a woman's voice reached the Wise Lord's ears.
The Wise Man, whose three eyes had been closed, immediately opened his eyes and quickly sat up on the carpet.
His gaze wandered around and finally landed on a pair of glasses on the round table.
A woman's silhouette appeared on the glasses. Unfortunately, the glasses were too transparent and reflective, so he couldn't see her face clearly.
The Wise Lord stood up and transformed back into a young human boy. He bowed to the glasses. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"I know what you're thinking. No need to pretend to be respectful."
The Wise Lord spoke in a plain tone. "It's my duty to show respect to Your Majesty. After all, we signed a contract."
The woman in the glasses humphed. "You know what the contract is. Don't try to fool me. We're just working for each other's benefit. "
The Wise Sovereign chuckled but didn't respond. Instead, he changed the subject. "Goddess, did you come down here to ask for a new batch of fragrances? If so, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I've been looking for the main ingredient recently, and I've found some clues. I'll try to make it in the next few days. There's a certain chance of failure when making it, but even if it goes smoothly, I'll need to test it for a while before I can hand it over to Your Majesty. "
"My purpose for coming here has nothing to do with the perfume."
The Wise Lord asked, "Then Your Majesty wants me to send a message to Netherworld Slave?"
"That's not it." The woman paused for a moment. "I sensed that a descendant of Noah is nearby. Moreover, he's getting closer and closer to my location. "
"I need you to determine what this descendant of Noah is up to. If it has nothing to do with me, then drive him away. But if he insists on coming to find me, then … … cut him off. "
After hearing this, the Wise Lord immediately thought of the group of intruders that the dog hole had mentioned. If he wasn't mistaken, there should be a descendant of Noah among those intruders.
A descendant of Noah, he didn't expect another descendant of Noah to come … … They really aren't giving up.
The Wise Lord said, "I understand. I'll go take a look. However, Your Majesty, do you want to cut 'him' off or 'him' off? "
Although the Wise Lord used the same 'him', he was clearly referring to different people.
"It's best if you don't ask about things that have nothing to do with you … … Also, don't forget our contract."
After saying this, the shadow on the glasses slowly disappeared, and no more sound could be heard.
The Wise Lord narrowed his eyes and stood there, lost in thought.
After a while, he stretched. "Looks like I'll have to wait a while before I can sleep. What a bitter life … … "
