Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Hegmo gave the attendant behind him a look, and the attendant cleared his throat and said:

"Get up!"

After everyone heard the words, they got up and continued to do what they should be busy with. However, the originally noisy streets were now much quieter.

Mo Rong stood up and looked at Hegemo. The aura emanating from his body could be felt exactly the same even though he was hundreds of meters away.

"Why do you think the Lord Knight is here?" Ida also looked at Hegmo and said blankly, obviously he was also a little surprised.

Mo Rong looked at Ida, pointed at himself, and said, 'Are you asking me? ' looks like.

"Does he rarely come here?"

"Of course! This one is the king's guard and rarely appears outside."

"It seems that the last time he came here was..." Ida was also reminded of her memories. She tried hard to remember and suddenly clapped her hands.

"I remembered, the last time the Lord Knight came here was last year. At that time, it seemed that he was recruiting new guards. I even went to try it out."

Mo Rong narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him doubtfully.

"Why are you looking at me like this? I'm not lying to you. There is no charge for the selection, and everyone can go. If you are recruited, you will get two thousand Geo per month! Even if you are not recruited, if you perform well in the selection , the city’s security office will also come to recruit you. It’s a sure-fire deal.”

"You recruited it?"

"I recruited you and I'm still here chatting with you?" Ida said angrily.

Mo Rong laughed, and the surroundings suddenly darkened. He looked to the side and was startled, only to see Haigmo walking up to them, his tall body completely covering them, and his terrifying aura. It left the two of them breathless.

The two fell silent immediately. As soon as Hegmo walked past the two of them, his figure suddenly paused.

When Mo Rong saw Haigemo walking by, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He wondered why this man was walking silently and wanted to take another look at Haigemo. As soon as he turned around, he met a sharp gaze, and the breath he had just exhaled was breathed back doubled.

The look in his eyes confirmed that he was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

Mo Rong immediately turned his head back, complaining in his heart.

The look just now was not unfamiliar to him at all. He had liked to watch the TV channel since he was a child. He knew very well that it was the look in the eyes of the police uncle interrogating the prisoner.

"It's over, it's over, am I being targeted?" Mo Rong's body was trembling.

"There is a familiar aura about this man." Hegmo stared at a small man in the crowd, which gave him a feeling of déjà vu, but for a while he couldn't remember what it was.

He felt Mo Rong's breath attentively, then turned and left.

The oppressive feeling behind him faded away like a tide. After a while, Mo Rong dared to look back. By this time, Haigmo had disappeared.

......

"Sir, can I help you keep an eye on that person?"

One of the attendants beside Hegmo apparently also saw his change.

Hegmo didn't reply to his words, still recalling the familiar feeling in his mind.

I have seen it, where have I seen it? where?

Haigmo walked forward slowly, thinking deeply. He seemed to have smelled that smell in the martial arts field.

Martial Arts Arena, Martial Arts Arena, Martial Arts Arena... Your Majesty!

Only then did Hegmo remember that the aura on the man just now was very similar to that on Wang.

He stopped and wanted to go back and ask the person just now, but he gave up the idea. After all, he still had important things to do, and it would not be too late to go find him after he was done.

Hegmo waved his hand to the attendant who was waiting for his reply and continued walking forward.

......

With a long sigh of relief, Mo Rong's whole body collapsed on Ida.

Ida felt the sudden weight beside her, staggered, and hurriedly steadied herself.

"What's wrong, buddy?"

"Damn, this knight is too scary. He almost scared me to death when he looked at me just now."

"Did the Lord Knight just look at you?"

"My eyes have met. What do you think?"

Mo Rong slowed down, stood up, and recalled the guard selection mentioned by Ida just now.

"The selection you just mentioned, the final opponent will not be..." Murong pointed to the direction Hegemo left.

"How is that possible! The final opponent in the selection is just the knight's entourage. If we really fight against the knight..." Ida shook her head.

"But when I participated in the selection, I heard others say that the final opponent in the first game was the Lord Knight, but the Lord Knight has not played since then."

"People who have heard about that duel said that the Lord Knight didn't even take out his hammer." Ida's eyes were filled with longing.

Morong held a minute's silence for the old man.

The group of people did not delay for too long because of Hegemo's appearance. After he left, everyone started walking towards the city gate again.

After a while, the convoy finally arrived near the city gate, but it had no intention of leaving the city. Instead, it turned to another road. At the end of the road, many lines could be vaguely seen leading to the sky.

After walking for a while, the team finally came to the rope. Mo Rong looked carefully and saw that it was not a rope, but a chain made of twisted chains. It was a huge bundle of chains, estimated to contain four or five people. The thickness of a hug.

And what the rope connected was a cage-like elevator, which was more than ten times larger than the elevator that Mo Rong sat in the tower before.

I saw the head steward saying something to the people in the pavilion on the other side, and then he ordered the porters on both sides to drive the trucks in. Only two trucks could be loaded at a time. Plus the Beetle and them, Mo Rong probably had to go back and forth. It takes four trips.

Ida was obviously familiar with the situation, and she took out the prepared dry food and started eating.

After taking a few bites, he saw Mo Rong standing aside watching the huge elevator rise, and reached out his hand to pat him.

"Gu... don't look at it. It takes a long time to go up and down the elevator. If you have some free time, why not find a place to sit and rest."

After saying that, he took Mo Rong to the side and sat down on the side of the road. He also broke off two pieces of food for him. Mo Rong waved his hand and said no.

Looking at the rope leading straight to the dark sky, a question came to his mind. Mo Rong could never hide the question, so he turned to Ida.

"Ida, do you think we only have the elevator as a means of transportation?"

Ida swallowed the food in her mouth and said casually:

"Not only that, there is a Stag-horned Insect Station not far from here."

"Have you ever sat on it?"

"That's not true. I usually don't go out of the city. When I go out of the city, I just follow the convoy to transport goods, and I can't get on the Antler Bug. Gulu~"

Ida took a sip of water and continued:

"I went in and took a look. The stag beetle was very big. Those legs, tsk tsk, felt like they were four or five times as long as me when stretched out."

Ida said and gestured.

"They run very fast. Take our destination this time, Canglu, for example. If you take a deer-horned insect there, it won't take you a whole day, but you can get there in just half a day."

Although Mo Rong knew it, he still showed a surprised expression.

"So fast?"

"Well, I heard from them that they took the passages dug by themselves, which are the shortest shortcuts."

"Didn't anyone try to use the tunnel they dug?"

"Come on, let's not say that it's pitch black inside and you can't see your fingers. They have more than one passage. They are composed of many intertwined passages. Only the Stag Clan themselves know that complicated route. There have been people like you before. As I said, I wanted to save a fortune and walked into the passage myself. I heard that the man was also a map master."

"The results of it?"

"He ended up being a story in my mouth."

Ida smiled and saw the last truck in front being transported into the elevator. She pulled Mo Rong to stand up and the two of them walked into the elevator together.

Accompanied by the muffled sound of the elevator's iron door closing and the harsh sound of the chain rubbing, the last group of people gradually ascended into the darkness.

......

On the watchman's spire, there are two people standing at the tea table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. One of them is tall, and the tea table looks like his chair in comparison. Although the other person is short, the aura exuding from his body is faintly stronger than that of the other person. The one next to him is a bit stronger.

These two people are Heigmer and Lurian.

"Lord Watcher, this is a letter from the king to you."

The voice was soft but not feminine. Others who heard it couldn't believe that the voice came from the tall and strong body in front of them.

As he spoke, Hegmo took out a letter and handed it to Lurian. The envelope was sealed with some unknown seal.

Lurian took the letter in his hand and wanted to open it immediately, but saw the seal on it and put it away again.

"Knight Hegmer, I haven't seen you for so long, I feel like your momentum is getting stronger."

Hegmo shook his head.

"It's said that tall people can hold up the sky when it falls. Although I'm much taller than you, I can't hold up the sky in the Heart of Hallownest alone like you."

Lurian smiled, picked up the teacup from the side and was about to hand it to him. After thinking about it, he changed it to another cup and handed him the big teapot next to him.

Then he turned to the corner of the room and said:

"Butler, prepare a table of wine and food, and separate large-sized cutlery."

Hegmo knew that he was planning to keep him here for dinner, so he hurriedly spoke out.

"Lord Watcher, I have important matters to attend to and it is not convenient for me to stay for a long time."

"How about having a meal together?"

"Any delay means more danger. There is really no time to delay."

Seeing Hegmer's appearance, Lurian didn't seem to be joking, so he smiled and said:

"It's okay. Let's have another meal to make up for it when you come back."

"must."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hegmo picked up the giant hammer on the side, took the elevator and left the top of the tower.

Seeing him leaving, Lurian took out the letter. With a wave of his hand, the seal on the letter slowly disappeared.

After reading the contents of the letter, the letter gradually disappeared. Lurian's brows under the mask frowned together, and he slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking towards the sky.

"Do we still have to go to this point..."
