Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Chapter 237 Great Cleverness

Even after a series of exciting adventures, Fors couldn't help but feel confused by new things.

"This Mr. El... is he also a Beyonder..."

Fors couldn't help but ask Gehrman beside her in a low voice.

Citrine spun furtively in her sleeves.

“Yes, he is a Sequence 8 ‘Beast Tamer’,” Klein answered in a low voice after divination, “That Miss Christine should be the Sequence 8 ‘Instigator’.”

"Wait, 'instigator', isn't that..." Fors' eyes widened.

"Yes, when this Miss Christine is promoted to Sequence 7, he will become the real Miss Christine."

Fors turned around and closed her eyes in surprise. During this period, she had been cramming the knowledge below the demigod level in the twenty-two extraordinary sequences. It was the first time she saw a living witch path extraordinary person... Extraordinary cat, and she was somewhat surprised.

"Okay, forget about this guy."

Miss Christine was barely satisfied with Evan's preparations, and she jumped lightly onto Evan's chicken coop, looking down at Klein and the other two.

"Gentlemen and ladies, according to the boss's instructions, I will be your guide on this trip. Due to business needs, Evan and I have walked this route many times, but please don't take it lightly. I am not a guarantee of safety on this trip, and Evan is not either.

"In the next few days, we will move down at least 2000 meters vertically. According to our previous caravan route, we have to travel at least 14 kilometers to reach [Hazel Street], which is a relatively gentle and safe option. But due to your special request, we decided to choose a route of about 10 kilometers. This route passes through very few underground cities, but the road is very dangerous and rugged, including some areas with the risk of collapse. I hope you can follow my command - mine, not Evan's.

"Also, please give Evan and I the trust we deserve as temporary teammates. When we enter the fragile cave, killing the guide will only make you die faster. So for the sake of our subsequent cooperation, all the equipment and supplies needed for this trip will be taken care of by Evan, and will only be given to you when needed. This includes water, food, sleeping bags, climbing equipment... even oxygen."

The black cat flicked its tail leisurely.

“Can you rock climb?”

“Yes/No.”

Fors raised her hand awkwardly.

"Is it a Beyonder?"

"Uh...no..."

"It's a bit difficult... I will try my best to prevent you from dying on the road."

After the final inspection, the group officially left the Earthworm Island Bar.

Their first stop is Exit 13 of [Eternal Night Harbor]. Here they will take the Miner Monkey Car to another small underground city. After that, they will not stay in this small underground city, but directly enter the unmanned tunnel from another exit.

Evernight Harbor maintains many passages leading to other underground cities, which is why it is named "Port". Most of these crude transportation systems are rail cars or miner monkey cars, and some are just walking passages. Compared with those nameless roads outside the underground city, at least Evernight Harbor has spent a certain amount of money to do basic repairs to ensure traffic safety. Therefore, tolls are a major source of income for [Eternal Night Harbor].

The monkey car is a very convenient and simple diagonal passenger vehicle. The passengers sit on a chair with a hanging rod, just like a monkey hanging on a tree, so it is called a monkey car. This kind of transportation is often used in some mines to transport coal miners to and from work. The hanging rod is hung on the rotating steel cable, carrying the workers diagonally up and down. Nowadays, this simple mode of transportation has been brought into the underground city by [Eternal Night Port], and after a rough transformation, it has become a cableway that can transport both people and goods.

The reason for choosing Exit 13 as the starting point is also because of the advantages of this monkey car system. Through this system, the group can safely descend to the underground city with a vertical distance of 300 meters, which is the road with the deepest descent among the more than exits of Evernight Harbor.

After a brief training session, Klein and Leonard first took a chairlift, hung it on the steel cable, and slowly swung it out. Fors lined up to pick up the chairlift, and listened to Evan's instructions to prepare to hang the pole.

At this moment, everyone suddenly had a spiritual warning. A gray-white brick with broken pieces suddenly flew out from outside the tunnel and spun towards Fors' face.

The black cat glared at Evan's head sharply and flew out with a roar. Evan, who had received the instruction, also jumped towards Fors to ensure her safety, but in the end, the broken brick hit Evan's face steadily, and a strong mental tremor broke out in his soul.

"Ahem...what is this...why is there so much dust and residue...ahem...is it flour..."

The black cat ignored Evan's situation and turned around in the air to dig at the big man's eyes. However, the big man was too strong, and the difference in physical fitness meant that before the black cat could use the instigator's "charm", a big hand covered with gray and white powder grabbed the cat's head in the air.

"Ahem...what the hell..."

Coughing, the black cat turned around and slipped out of the big man's hand, grabbing his arm with its sharp claws and attacking his face. The next second, the reflex arcs of different people also successfully completed the command, and the people guarding the entrance and exit swarmed up and pinned the big man under them amid the sound of gunfire.

Normally, [Eternal Night Harbor] would not care about murders and hatreds between passers-by, but this time was different—Klein and the other two paid the corresponding price.

The accident was over in an instant. A battle of this level did not require Klein and Leonard to take action. They returned to the starting point in the chaos, and after confirming Fors's safety, they turned and walked towards the crowd.

Leonard walked over to Evan and comforted his damaged mind, while Klein stepped forward to interrogate the big man.

"who are you?"

"Floda Sanders."

Although he looked very ferocious when he committed the crime, he seemed to be timid once he was caught. He cooperated with all the questions and answered them with a very sincere attitude.

The yellow crystal swung clockwise, indicating that the big man was indeed not lying.

"Do you know her?" Klein pointed at Fors.

"I don't know him... No, I know him... Well, I can't say I know him."

The big man glanced at Klein cautiously, but was frightened by the look of the crazy adventurer and lowered his head.

"Yes, it's a bounty... I saw her bounty on the Death List website. Judging from the reward, it doesn't seem to be difficult to find, so I wanted to give it a try. What if I succeed..."

"Cough...cough..."

Evan was still coughing violently. It seemed that not only tiny dust particles, but also some large solid fragments were blown into his mouth and nose, blocking his respiratory tract and esophagus. Leonard put the broken gray-white bricks into his bag, comforted Evan's spirit, and used professional first aid techniques to help Evan clear the stuck foreign objects.

"What on earth is this... ahem... brick... ahem... thing..." Evan couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, you're talking about this."

Froda was stunned in fear.

“Those are my grandmother’s ashes.”
