Chapter 324: Curse-filled Sewers

The traces of the Silverstone Curse Shafts existence had been completely erased.

No one would be able to notice that there used to be a power station that the elves depended on to survive above this ma.s.sive pit.

For the other buildings, only the part above the ground was demolished. Except for the curse shaft, not even a single piece of gravel was left, with the part below the ground completely gone.

The pit was like a crater, with a diameter of hundreds of meters.

What was strange was how the place was handled. Instead of a vertical pit, they dug a hole from the entrance, which extended diagonally after leveling the building on top.

The deeper it was, the bigger the pit. Finally, it reached its maximum s.p.a.ce and depth at more than 20 meters below the ground.

What lay further down was the collapsed floor s.h.i.+ning with azure blue brilliance. Then, there were the dry and dusty sewers occupied by rubbles at the bottom of the pit.

This place looks like a subway exit. Dove commented on the forum, Im guessing the depth should be at least two floors underground.

Maybe more than 2 floors. Delicious Wind Goose, who watched the live stream, blurted affirmatively, I think the depth of this pit can fit even up to 4 floors underground. When you first went down, I saw a desolated floor. If the height of each floor is the same, you should be on the 4th floor now.

It doesnt matter how many floors are there, Citalopram looked at the sewer hesitantly. The question is are we going down? There doesnt seem to be anything here.

No one has used this place for hundreds of years. Are you still afraid of getting dirty?

No, I mean the sewers are too wide. It feels like you can even drive a car into it.

Citalopram complained silently, Under this familiar setting, I have a hunch that four muscled turtles with murderous weapons will come out from them.

Dove comforted, Dont worry. If four green turtles really came out, we will be having turtle soup for supper tonight.

I really dont want to go in. I feel like there will be mice and c.o.c.kroaches in there Citalopram grumbled.

Despite saying so, she could only helplessly hold the torch to keep up after seeing Boffis floating into the sewer. She couldnt help but complain, This place has been unvisited for so long. Is the air here okay? There wont be any gas in this sewer that would explode when it meets fire, right?

This is not a sealed environment. Also, this place is connected to the ground. Thats a wrong guess. Quickly go and apologize to your chemistry teacher. Suuankou retorted.

Unlike the empty bas.e.m.e.nt, which was completely torn to pieces, the sewers were surprisingly well preserved.

The sewers built by the elves look like ma.s.sive blood vessels, connecting in all directions in the underground world.

The original waterway in the middle was utterly dried up, leaving only a shallow layer of dry sand. There were raised terrains on both sides of the sewer that served as a path for the group to walk on.

Although the sewers had been dry for a long time, everyone, including the Ghost Boffis, moved along the sides of the waterway subconsciously.

Dove walked at the end of the group because she didnt want anyone to step on her feet by accident. Chocolates body, which she possessed, had night vision anyway. She could move forward normally without Citaloprams torch.

She sniffed the air with a strange expression, rubbed the sand in the middle with her paws tentatively, and put it in front of her face to smell it.

Then, her face was filled with doubt.

She reached out her claws and dug into the sand layer in the middle like digging a pit.

They are really damp soil

.

She took another sample and smelled it. Then, she rubbed her paws on the ground with a thoughtful expression.

Dove squatted on the spot and thought for a while, then suddenly ran to catch up with the crowd. She hopped forward and grabbed Suuankou in front of her.

Then, she scrambled her feet, lying on Suuankous shoulders like a cat-shaped school bag.

Suuankou was taken aback.

Unfortunately, Chocolates physique wasnt a small pet cat. The body couldnt fit on Suuankous back.

Suuankou could only hug the cat awkwardly, burdened by the heavy weight of this spoiled child.

Whats wrong? He whispered to the serval in his arms, Are you afraid of getting dirty?

No.

Dove meowed and replied calmly on the forum, I checked the sand in the waterway. There is no smell of grease, excrement, and rot.

This is a sewer, but no stains can be seen on the walls and floors. Isnt it strange?

Maybe its because the stain has weathered over time? Suuankou followed Doves gaze and looked at the sewer: After hundreds of years, it is impossible for substances that emit odors to exist.

That would at least leave some traces. Dove responded, At the very least, the soil will become fertile. But, I didnt see any traces of the soil becoming fertile. Instead, I detected the traces of the curse.

For the sand on the surface, the curse has almost dissipated. However, the curse is evident in the deeper layer of moist soil. The concentration is close to the curse level when Annan held a ritual in the warehouse.

Thats weird. Suuankou thought for a while and nodded in agreement with Doves reasoning.

Citalopram in front also saw the conversation between the human and the cat. She paused and asked Boffis directly, Boffis, what is this sewer for?

How could I possibly know? Boffis turned around, stared at Citalopram in a stunned manner, and asked in disbelief, Do underage girls on your time need to know this kind of knowledge?

Cultural differences. Citalopram said confidently, Isnt it normal to learn more common knowledge? I dont even know what this tunnel is called.

Even if you say that, I still dont know about this place. Boffis was bothered, But if youre speaking at the level of common knowledge, of course, I know this place is used to treat the waste.

What kind of waste? Feces?

Hey!

How can you say such dirty words!? Boffis was surprisingly not very good at dealing with this type of word.

She embarra.s.sedly retorted, How can the feces be discharged into these pipes? The city will stink a lot!

Where does the water here lead to?

Of course, its leading to the ground surface, Boffis replied confidently.
