Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"Top pick!"

"Continuous cuts!"

"Block!"

Zemore's attacks came like a violent storm, and the huge bone nails could almost cover the entire figure of the person in front of her. She wanted to hold back her hand, but she didn't dare to. The eyes not far away were still. Watching the two of them quietly, waiting for a result.

"Ding!...Ding!...Ding!"

Three crisp sounds and the collision between the bone nails surprised Zemore. This child couldn't even take one of her moves before. Is it possible?

He turned to look at King Bai not far away, then looked down at Bai in front of him, and immediately knew what happened.

"Your Majesty, training Bai is your request. Cheating would be bad, right?"

After the words fell, King Bai coughed twice, turned his back and waved: "You continue, continue."

Seeing Bai's clumsy figure, King Bai couldn't help but command it secretly. Although he could personally feel its difficulty, he could also appreciate its talent.

After King Bai turned his back, he was still feeling the sound of the fighting behind him. Suddenly, a familiar aura appeared in the palace and went straight to the main hall.

"Lurien? What is he here for?"

Although he had doubts in his mind, his steps did not move. There was no one in the main hall at this time. If there was something important, it would not be too late for him to go.

"See you, humble minister...see the queen!"

Lu Ruien looked around for a moment, but still couldn't see the figure of King Bai, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Why did the watcher come here?"

Madam White's voice caressed Lurian's heart, calming down his restless mood.

"I am reporting to the queen that the royal sewer has leaked acid. The source of the pollution is likely to be hidden in the acid. There is no way to stop it. I can't think of a solution. I have no choice but to come here to seek help from the king. I apologize for my incompetence!"

She also knew about the acid. Now after hearing what Lu Ruien said, she also understood the seriousness of the matter. After thinking for a moment, she asked: "Have you contacted the teacher?"

"This...Wei Chen has not contacted me, but isn't there no solution?"

"She just can't purify the acid. It's not good to be preconceived."

Lurian was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for the Queen's advice. I will go find a teacher for help now."

"Go."

After Lurian left, Madam White frowned slightly and slowly stood up and walked towards the martial arts arena.

......

"What on earth do you think the teacher has been researching recently? We used to be able to patrol most of the archives, but now even the cleaners have to be driven away if they enter a certain area away from the laboratory."

"How do I know? Why are you asking so many questions? Can the teacher harm us by doing this? Or do you want to be like the person who was killed in the laboratory before?"

"That's right, but it's hard to avoid doubts when such a change happens all of a sudden..."

Two sentries were walking at the door of the archives, chatting while patrolling, but on the other side of the darkness that they had not noticed, a blue figure suddenly appeared and rushed towards the archives.

"Hey! Teacher archives ahead, stop those who come!"

"Stop! Otherwise there will be consequences!"

Lurian ignored them, waved his hand with his cloak, and the two sentries were thrown away by an unknown force.

"...Ouch! You guy!"

Before the two sentries realized what was happening, they fell to the ground and watched helplessly as Lurian broke in.

"It's for your own good that I won't let you in..."

I can’t remember the last time I came to the Archives Lurian. It seemed like it was when the ribbon was cut when it was first established?

He and Monomen each performed their own duties, and their fields were different, so they rarely interacted with each other. However, they were both working for the White King, so the communication between the two would not be difficult.

"these are?"

Looking at the jellyfish floating in the archives, Lurian couldn't help but feel doubtful, but soon put away his thoughts. It was natural for changes to occur after not coming here for so long.

He kept twisting his body, and just as Lurian was about to approach the laboratory, a jellyfish suddenly jumped up from below, catching him off guard.

Lurian saw the jellyfish shell explode instantly, and while he was still puzzled, the orange core attacked him.

boom!

boom! boom! boom! ...

Even though the orange core was flying extremely fast, it still couldn't do anything to Lu Ruien. But as soon as he dodged, many jellyfish beside him exploded like fireworks in the sky. The archives suddenly roared, shattering many storages. liquid jar.

Seeing this, Lurian felt a little ashamed and quickly raised a barrier to prevent the explosion from spreading further.

Is he in the wrong place?

When was a bomb depot built in Hallownest? King Bai didn't even inform him?

The movement was so loud that the entire archives trembled for a moment, including Monomon who was in the laboratory.

"Lurien? Why are you here?"

She opened the door of the laboratory angrily, and was about to scold the sentry outside and let people in again, when she saw a flying figure not far away.

"Um, I'm sorry, the situation is urgent, and I didn't know your thing was so powerful."

An apology appeared in Lurian's eyes, but Monomon did not pursue it. Instead, he noticed the key points of what he said.

"Is the situation urgent? What happened in the main city?"

"It's not the main city, it's the sewers. Acid leaked."

After speaking, Monomen looked at him with a look of unkindness.

"Are you going to expand the sewers again? Didn't I say that there are hidden dangers in the sewers and that unknown expansions can't be carried out anymore?"

Seeing that she had misunderstood what he meant, Lurian quickly explained: "You are mistaken. Since you said it last time, the expansion of the sewer has stopped immediately, and it has not been started again."

"How could the acid leak?"

"If I knew, why would I come to ask you? Now I just don't know how it was leaked, and more importantly, it has been leaked. Now I urgently need a solution."

"A lot was leaked?"

"It is estimated that it is still leaking, and the isolation zone has been expanded again and again. If this continues for less than half a month, it will directly pollute another pool of water. By then, the entire sewer may be destroyed."

"This is going to be tricky..."

Monomen paced in place for a long time, looking at his external water storage tank, then at the floating jellyfish, and immediately said: "In this way, when you go back, send more people to my place, on both sides. At the same time construction began on a pipeline to pump the acid into the archives.”

"How can this work?! Isn't this treating the symptoms rather than the root cause?!" Lu Ruien lost his voice.

"How can we take care of so much now? There are already many tanks for storing acid in the teacher's archives. What's the harm in having more? We might as well hollow out this place and make it a special tank for storing acid."

"This..." Lurian just came to seek a solution. Who knew that Monomon would directly come up with such a crazy idea.

"Don't hesitate. It will take a lot of time to build the pipeline. If you wait any longer, the sewers may really suffer."

Under Monomon's repeated urging, Lurian had no choice but to nod heavily.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Then you wait for my news, and I will try to send as many relevant personnel as possible to assist you."

"Okay, have you reported it to the king?"

"The queen knows."

"That's fine."
