Chapter 1251 Sewer Tracking [First Update]

If Dalaran is a giant tree, the city on the ground is the branches, trunk and leaves of this tree.

Then Dalaran's sewers are the roots of this big tree.

The biggest reason why sewers have become the city's filth-housing place, apart from meeting the needs of magicians in terms of social structure, is that the roots of this big tree are too large and complicated.

As a city that completely serves the Magicians, in addition to the official Magicians, Dalaran is also home to several times more people who serve the Magicians.

They are magic apprentices, businessmen, mercenaries, craftsmen, and various service personnel.

As we all know, magicians, as producers of high-end products in the magical world, have always been wealthy people.

Even the average economic level of the people who serve them is far higher than ordinary people.

The development of Dalaran's sewer system is also related to this.

After all, you can't expect a poor person to enjoy advanced tap water and drainage systems.

The well-developed sewers attract many people living in the dark to settle in them.

And they are constantly widening the sewers, making them more complicated.

This resulted in that what stood in front of Ye Ting and the others at the moment was basically a maze of huge amounts.

Whether it's Ye Ting or the other two, they are all big shots at the top of Dalaran's power.

I'm used to being aloof.

They would never set foot in such a dirty place.

Even if Dalaran needs to clean up the sewers, the Council's choice is usually to hire mercenaries to patrol and clean it regularly, and even offer high prices and trick the mercenaries into saying that there are amazing treasures buried in the deep mines, constantly luring the mercenaries to take over the work. .

As far as they are concerned, they basically know nothing about the terrain and routes of the sewers.

They don't know what the people living in the sewer have transformed this dark place into. They don't know which road leads to water, which road is a dead end, and which road hides the evil summoned by magicians who break the taboo. biology.

In the past, although the residents of the sewers also constantly provided various services to Dalaran, for the councilors standing at the top, all this darkness had nothing to do with them.

But now, they have to step into this dark place themselves.

"It's really bad." Looking at the dark tunnel in front of her, as if a huge mouth was eating people, Modera complained sharply, "Dampness, darkness, and the damn dead, these three things I hate the most are all here. .”

"But if we don't catch up soon,"

Ye Ting reminded:

"Then you will see something even more disgusting than these three - demons."

He half-crouched on the ground and waved his staff at a wet spider footprint, and the spider demon's footprints on the ground shimmered one after another.

"The footprints are heading that way, let's follow them quickly.

As both legendary magicians, Ye Ting is obviously better at handling such a scene than the two more academic ones, so Ansrem and Modera tacitly agreed to leave the leadership position to Ye Ting, and the two of them followed him all the way. at the rear.

Even with magic lighting, walking in the dark tunnel, the increasingly narrow tunnel and the depressing environment made several Magicians feel very uncomfortable, so they began to look for topics:

"You said that a creature called a nerubian dug up the treasure trove. Have you seen such creatures in Quel'Thalas? Sander? Are they also a kind of undead?"

Modera asked curiously.

"I've definitely seen it before. It's a big spider about as tall as a human."

Ye Ting was bored, so he was happy to explain:

"They are not undead, but a living creature. Although they look like spiders, judging from the flexible claws and normal actions of the first pair of limbs, I think they are not ordinary Beasts, but an intelligent creature, even an intelligent creature. It has its own civilization.”

"No wonder they were able to complete such a complicated excavation." Modera nodded.

The atmosphere returned to silence.

The deeper they went, the more humid and weird the corridor became, and the thick boots of the three people were covered with water drops.

The sewers originally connected the rivers near Dalaran and Lake Lordamre, using natural running water to process waste sent out by the city.

In addition, deep groundwater is leaking everywhere in this place, many sewers in disrepair do not know where they lead, and the environment for walking in them is generally poor.

Fortunately, the three magicians do not need to use ordinary torches for lighting, and the light source of the spell will not be affected by moisture.

While walking along the trail, Modera seemed to think of something and suddenly said again:

"Since you said that those spider demons have enough wisdom to establish civilization, is it possible that they will mislead us by dividing their troops, or set traps for us? After all, the artifacts they stole are not big, and they don't need so many people at all. transport."

Modera's words seemed to remind Ye Ting, who suddenly stopped and then looked back at the two of them.

"You said that the outlet of the sewer is connected to Lake Lordamre, so where is the specific connection point?"

With a wave of his hand, the fluorescence of arcane energy gathered in the air, creating a three-dimensional model of Dalaran out of thin air.

Ye Ting pushed the model in front of the big magician Ansrem.

"Nice illusion magic."

Ansrem admired casually, and then looked at the three-dimensional sand table model.

The general shape of Dalaran is a relatively standardized circle.

Soon, he pointed at the easternmost point of the sand table.

"..right here."

"Really?" Looking at the model in front of him, Tu Ting nodded.

"The treasure house of Violet Castle is located here, and we are probably here now..."

With the three-dimensional sand table, their action route was intuitively displayed, and Ye Ting quickly discovered that something was wrong.

“The direction we walked was not towards the sewer exit.

"Did they take a detour originally, or did they deliberately try to lure us away?"

Both situations are possible and difficult to judge at the moment.

Ye Ting looked at the two of them with a bitter smile:

"Didn't you leave any magical marks on the Skull of Gul'dan and the Scepter of Sargeras?"

"How can an artifact of that level easily leave a mark on it?"

Ansrem shook his head: "A simple mark cannot be left at all, but a more powerful magic mark...

"The power there is too powerful and evil. We don't dare to act rashly for fear of causing some trouble."

"Then we have to follow the footprints and take a look."

When Ye Ting heard this, he shook his head in disappointment.

"Even if there are any traps, at least there are footprints, and people will not disappear out of thin air. As long as the person is caught, it is possible to find the stolen artifact."

After passing through a narrow tunnel, the narrow corridor suddenly opened up in front of several magicians.

This seems to be a "crossroads" where various channels of the sewer are connected to each other. It is extra spacious compared to ordinary corridors.

The twenty-meter-high top is supported by a large number of stone pillars and reinforced by many wooden shelves.

The most eye-catching thing is the hill-like accumulation of soil.

The soil looks quite fresh, and it is obvious that the soil transported away from the excavation of the treasure house has been placed here.

Here, the footprints became a bit messy. It seemed that the spider demons had tried to explore around when they first arrived here, but Ye Ting still found key traces among the messy footprints.
