278. The Legend of Lower Wharton
Inge asked:
"Have you ever heard of the legends of the underworld?"
Fanny asked curiously:
"Is it the story of the Sewer Kingdom?"
Antotika said:
"I heard that there is a city under Wharton that is exactly the same as Wharton, but with everything the opposite."
Inge said excitedly:
"Don't you think it's strange to see that there are so many versions of this legend?"
Fanny touched her chin and said:
"Indeed, general rumors rarely have so many versions, but there are countless stories about a world beneath Wharton City, and there are even many stories describing the details of the underground world."
The three of them looked at Ha La together.
Hala said:
"I just came to Wharton and I have never heard these stories."
Inge's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"Holla, didn't you ever know? Then let me tell you in detail."
Antotika is particularly familiar with Inge’s expression at this moment:
"In the end, it's just a legend, and although there are many versions of these stories, they are contradictory."
Inge said:
"I can think of reasonable explanations for the contradictions you mentioned..."
Antotika waved her hand:
"Forget it, you go ahead and tell me."
Inge looked at Ha La with interest and said:
"There are many stories about the underground world. Based on the analysis of 329 relatively reliable legends that I have collected, I feel that the world below our ground should have a lot to do with Wharton City. Among them
There are two theories that are ultimately believable.
"First, the underground world is Wharton turned upside down, or Wharton is reversed left and right, or it may just be a city exactly like Wharton, but in short, it is a replica of Wharton to a certain extent, and of course it is
Maybe Wharton is a copy of it.
"Second, some people think that this underground world was created with the help of some kind of fantasy magic. It is attached to various dark corners of Wharton City, such as deserted alleys, sewers, empty houses, and unused cabinets after the sun sets.
, these places are the residences of residents of another city.”
Antotika still couldn’t bear it:
"But, Inge, do you know? In these legends, some of their kings are a mouse, others say that the king is a man wearing a red robe, and some even say that the ruler of the underground kingdom belongs to the queen.
This is completely contradictory. In my opinion, they are all stories based on a certain unique cultural atmosphere in Wharton."
Inge retorted:
"I have thought about this for a long time. Maybe the king can change his form. There is another more likely conclusion. In these stories, the atmosphere and style of the king's different countries are also different..."
Antotika whispered:
"Because the people who create these stories also have different writing styles."
Inge ignored her:
"So I think there may be multiple kingdoms that exist underground."
Antotika curled her lips:
"It's getting more and more outrageous. One city of Wharton, multiple kingdoms?"
Inger paused.
She looked into Ha La's clear eyes:
"Do you believe me?"
Hala said:
"I don't believe it yet, but maybe I will."
Yingge smiled:
"I found several words to describe the underground world, and the one that appeared most frequently was 'Lower Wharton'.
"And we know that Lower Wharton should be a world with several kings. The known ones include the Rat King, the Wolf King, and the King in Red.
"And there are many legendary species living in this world."
When he said this, Inge's eyes became brighter and brighter.
“There are rat people, cat people, winged people, werewolves and various orcs, as well as trolls, elves, dwarves, dragons, robots and other wonderful species.
"They have a completely different culture and concepts from us. For example, the food of the rat people is human leftovers. When they hold a banquet, they will send many rats to many places to find enough leftovers.
Then enjoy together.
"The Wolf King will go abroad for large hunting with his subjects from time to time, hunting various creatures in neutral areas, and the best hunters will be rewarded by the king.
"But Lower Wharton isn't just about banquets and hunting."
Fanny's mouth twitched when she heard the word "beautiful".
Inge said to Ha La with a serious face:
"There are also very cruel rules in Lower Wharton. One of them is that the ground and the underground must not be confused. If someone from above the ground breaks into Lower Wharton, according to the rules, they must stay there forever."
Yingge instantly put away his serious expression:
"But those were already the rules of the past. In modern times, Lower Wharton no longer obeys this ancient rule. This is why there are so many legends on the ground, because they were released, but their words were ignored by others.
Treat it as the words of a madman."
Fanny said:
"Maybe it's not that this rule has been cancelled. What I mean is that if, if such a place really exists, it is very likely that some countries still abide by the rules, and some are no longer subject to the rules, and you will never know those who have made mistakes.
The people there were assigned new jobs, or were imprisoned in dark and damp dungeons, or even..."
Fanny's tone was sinister:
"They left both worlds forever."
Yingge swallowed:
"What you said is not impossible, but in the story, the people they met were all very friendly."
Antotika said:
"Reality is not a fairy tale."
Inge said:
"Wharton is more magical than a fairy tale, and I don't know how to get to other countries..."
Inge closed his mouth.
Fanny asked immediately:
"What did you say? You mean..."
Inge looked around, and finally looked at Ha La's big expectant eyes.
She sighed:
"I thought maybe I'd found a way to Lower Wharton."
