Kino's plan is to use the huge Saluba to dig tunnels and let it lead him to the underground Saluba lair. And because Saluba likes to dig lairs under ancient cities, it is very likely that he will too.
Find the remains of Zoroastrianism together.
After he transformed into a ghoul, he relied on his sharp claws and teeth to tighten on the big guy's shell, and then followed it into the ground.
A huge deep hole appeared on the ground. Adolf was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up his bag and chased along the deep hole.
There was a roar all the way ahead, and Kino didn't know what he did to the big guy, so that the monster was impartial and dug a tunnel of nearly 100 meters along the diagonal line.
By the time Adolf caught up with him, the big guy had disappeared, and Kino, who had not yet recovered, was lying there almost exhausted.
Adolf went over to check on him, but was surprised to find that there was an artificial step next to him!
"When the big one is injured, it will burrow into its nest. I obviously hurt it." Kino coughed and spit out a lot of sand while recovering his human body.
The tunnel is surrounded by sticky liquid, which is secreted by the big guy when he digs the tunnel. It is used to fix the soil layer and prevent it from collapsing in a short time.
Adolf stared at the steps and the bottomless cave below, his eyes full of excitement.
He recognized the architectural style of this huge stone block, which was the architectural feature of the Shadowless Empire. There was also a stone tablet half exposed from the earth, and the text on it was in Astrian.
"Huh! It seems we are lucky to have found it so quickly!" Kino took his coat from Adolf.
Adolf glanced around and did not step into the collapsed ruins rashly. Instead, he decided to return along the original path, mark the location, and wait until the safe passage was secured before continuing deeper.
After all, the mucus secreted by the big guy is not permanent and will be diluted by the soil sooner or later.
…
Adolf, who is located in the east of the world, has made a good harvest, but Abigail, who is also a member of the Taoist temple, has faced the most difficult situation.
Since the incident in the court, when Videl triggered the lethality of "fear" by interrogating her, almost everyone now believes that Abigail is the witch responsible for the Blackwater Disaster.
The judge has since pronounced Abigail guilty, and in response to the angry people's demands, decided to execute Abigail at the stake according to the old code!
However, the government did not immediately issue an order. Instead, it selected a so-called "auspicious day" and made preparations in advance to build a burning platform in the municipal center for all the people and the envoys from various countries who were still in Greybean to observe.
witness.
Their performance continues, and they must make the most of Abigail's remaining life in order to gain greater political chips.
Although it is probably impossible to change the diplomatic trend, it can at least give an explanation to the people of the country.
If Gordon and the northern countries refuse to give up after executing the "culprit" and continue to press the empire, it will inevitably arouse the common hatred of the people of the empire and resolve the huge internal contradictions within themselves.
Now Abigail was imprisoned back to the Yotun Police Station, but not in the underground cell before, but in the upper cell.
Perhaps because she had already been convicted, the police's custody of Abigail was not as excessive as before, and relatives of the condemned prisoners were allowed to visit.
So, Aunt Rachel came to Abigail's cell with a face full of grief to see her niece for the last time.
"Abigail! How are you? Can you talk to me?"
Rachel squatted outside the cell, looking at Abigail lying on the ground motionless with her back to her.
"Listen... aunt will not abandon you. You must hold on. I still have some jewelry that I can sell, and then... then I will take the money and go to Judge Wendell... to plead with him!"
"As long as he can modify the verdict, he can..."
I don’t know what point Rachel mentioned that poked Abigail, and her shoulders shook twitchingly a few times.
When Rachel saw this, she was slightly stunned, and finally couldn't help crying.
In fact, she also knew in her heart that begging and bribery were basically useless, and her niece might not be able to escape this disaster.
But what can she do?
Rachel lost her husband at an early age, her husband died before giving birth to a child, and she never remarried.
Abigail's father also died when she was very young, and she was brought up by Rachel. In Rachel's eyes, Abigail is just like her own daughter.
Now that her niece has suffered an unjust injustice, Rachel cannot just watch her being burned to death. Even if she risks her life, she must fight for even a glimmer of life.
As for the person who can directly affect Abigail's fate, currently the only one is Judge Wendell.
Rachel obviously failed to understand this political game. The words of encouragement she said outside the cell to encourage Abigail sounded more like helpless comfort to the latter.
But comfort cannot change the reality. Abigail still has a strong desire to survive in her heart.
She didn't want to die, especially if she was wrongly accused and died in a mysterious way, with the real murderer walking free.
She thought of Stephen Adams, the man who had a crush on her and whom she also liked.
Stephen died to save her. This hatred is unforgettable. She has not taken revenge yet, so how can she give up so easily?
During this period, she kept thinking about why the empire wanted to kill her. She was just a small person, and even if she became a scapegoat, it would have no effect on alleviating the tension between East and West.
The mysterious will hidden among the high-ranking officials of the empire probably wanted to gain something else from her, and deliberately pushed her to a dead end.
There is no way her aunt can save her. Abigail's only hope is "Mr. Yi"!
She turned around with difficulty and opened her mouth without making a sound because she was afraid that the sound would be heard by the guard behind Rachel.
The guard was just an ordinary detective with a fat head and big ears. He was sitting absentmindedly on a chair and taking a nap.
Because of this, Rachel dared to tell Abigail about bribing the judge.
Looking at Abigail's dry lips, Rachel was stunned. She didn't hear what her niece said to her, but with the shape of her mouth, she understood it. It was the same as what Abigail said when she visited the prison last time.
She needs the statue and the incense.
Rachel came back to her senses, deep in thought, and at this moment the napping guard also woke up. After seeing this, Rachel hurriedly left the prison, for fear of letting slip a word.
"Abigail...what on earth are you thinking...how long have you still cared about your toy?"
"Now they all say that the terrible statue is an object for evil rituals, why do you still..."
The aunt shook her head vigorously, stood outside the gate of the Inspection Bureau and looked back.
Abigail's things should be kept in the bureau, but is there any way she can steal them out?
The aunt felt powerless. After thinking carefully, she decided to act according to her own ideas and visit Judge Wendell tonight!
