The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
"Where are we going?"
Following Frelia into the room, we found that military fortresses are basically based on underground fortifications, so everywhere is actually connected.
The general's room leads downstairs, and the basement is connected to the entire fortress... This setting is either convenient for hiding people or for escaping.
Frelia probably brought herself to this kind of place just to make it easier to talk!
"What happened in this area? The night the mercenaries and I came in, we were attacked by goat men." Sean asked.
"Sure enough... Actually, we were attacked by goatmen the same night we entered the Tacoma area. The soldiers that day were right. These monsters have indeed appeared in this area."
In the basement, Frelia told Sean about the team's arrival in the southeast.
In fact, the situation was the same as when the mercenaries came, except that the number of regular troops was larger, and there were many mercenary teams following behind them, so that night it was not the goatmen who slaughtered the Black Feather Knights. If it was the other way around, the goatmen would almost be surrounded and wiped out by the Black Feather Knights. Even the largest demon goatman was wiped out by the wizards.
"Killed?"
He looked at Frelia and nodded.
It's been foggy these days, and her skin seems a little dry. She doesn't look as fresh and energetic as she did in Lietis, and she doesn't look too good... But Sean has never doubted the opponent's strength. So far, she is the highest-level person he has met, and she is probably the only one who dares to face the Eye of Chaos head-on.
"certainly."
Sean didn't seem surprised that the Black Feather Knight was able to kill the largest demon goatman. However, since the Black Feather Knight won the battle that night, why didn't he find any battlefield left behind when he came over?
You have to know that there are more than 4,000 knights and wizards. In such a battlefield, both sides will leave some traces!
"But when I came here, I didn't find any signs of fighting..."
"So this is what I'm telling you."
Frelia seemed to know that Sean would ask this question. The time they had spent together had allowed both of them to understand each other's personalities. Frelia was a person who had truly seen the world, and her way of thinking often coincided with what Sean observed through his ability.
"I feel like someone is deliberately letting outsiders into this area. You should have heard that everyone in the Tacoma area is in the city right now..."
"From what I heard from the knight just now, it seems that they are still a group of people who are out of their minds."
"Being unconscious is already the least of our worries... because we specifically instructed that no one should know about it, so they will only tell you this. What I am going to take you to see now is a person we captured. To be precise, he is considered a human being for the time being." Frelia glanced at Sean with a serious expression.
The basement is connected to a passage, and there are soldiers guarding here.
"Guard the outside and don't let anyone in. You didn't see anything!" After ordering the people on both sides to retreat, he continued to walk in with Sean.
It's like a prison building...
"Why is it necessary to be so secretive? Aren't they everywhere in the city? Others will see it by then."
"That's right, but..."
Frelia couldn't explain it, but Sean could see it clearly.
It should be that they don't want too many people to speculate about their relationship. After all, she is the core strength of the entire team, and is still on the front line of the battlefield. If the leader is involved in a scandal, it will more or less affect the entire army, and even she will be affected, just like the time before in the Prince's Mansion.
If the Grand Duke's granddaughter hadn't taken him away, he would have been surrounded and interrogated by a large group of nobles. And then he encountered that inexplicable count, didn't he? So it was best not to reveal his relationship with Frelia in the barracks.
Those who were captured were imprisoned underground...
When you walk in, you can smell an indescribable pungent smell, a bit like the fishy smell of aquatic products. When you get close, you can also hear a hoarse, sharp throat sound.
Very weird, never heard of it...
"Those wandering around the city seemed to be unconscious, but I found that they were still following some kind of instructions. I noticed that some of them ran to the southern swamps like zombies, and this thing is what we found in the swamp." Frelia said as she opened the prison door.
The fishy smell is even stronger!
The fire was lit, and he was trapped in iron chains in the middle of the small and narrow room.
It has gray-green skin, white on its belly, and most of its body is shiny and smooth, but there is a high ridge of scales on its back; it has a human-shaped body but a fish-like head, with huge, bulging eyeballs that never close, and gills that constantly tremble on both sides of its neck.
It looks like a fishman...
When he saw the two people appear, he struggled to rush over, but was restrained by chains. There were obvious scars on the parts of his arms where they were locked. He must have struggled many times!
"What kind of creature is this?"
This period of time is probably when Sean has seen the most non-human creatures...
[HP 2000/2000, Deep Diver] Favorability is [Hostile]...
"Deep Diver."
"What? You know this creature?" Frelia looked at Sean in surprise.
Even the murloc who had been furious just a moment ago suddenly quieted down, looking at him with an expression of "Unbelievable!"...
"I don't know him, but I've heard a similar name in a bard's story." Sean casually gave a reason, and at this moment he was looking at the thing in front of him in surprise.
