Reggie got very playful last night and used black powder and white phosphorus to light a fire in the mud. Now there are two lumps of mud left on the street. According to Reggie's understanding, these should be burned corpses.
He asked Camilla to smell it. Camilla had a very good nose and was very sensitive to the smell of corpses, but this time she failed. The two lumps of mud were too smelly.
Reggie found another small lump of mud near the two lumps of mud, and he even found the "cause" of this lump of mud.
"Did you see the bullet?" Reggie found the bullet fired last night from the mud. "I killed this little guy with this bullet, and his body was left here."
The people on Camel Island originally believed that the mud was alive, but after seeing the "corpse" that Reggie said, the officials felt that something was a little strange.
Just like all Dongsang people believe in ghosts, but when the ghosts actually appear in front of them, they feel a bit ridiculous. Ghosts should be unimaginable existences, not the lumps of mud in front of them.
But Reggie has come to his conclusion that these sludges are alive. Whether they are mud demons remains to be verified, but the most important thing right now is that living things can be killed.
He asked Dorothy to convey two orders for him. First, he asked Nipoli to send a cargo ship. He wanted to transport a large number of residents away from Camel Island. Manjiao was right. Before the silt was defeated, this place was indeed not suitable.
Survive.
Second, send an airship to bring Swindell and Shalsa, and ask Swindell to bring all the tools he can.
After conveying the order, Reggie began a search operation. He wanted to find Batchelor. He firmly believed that his grand maester was still alive.
The first stop was naturally the cabin of the Hades Wizard. Reggie's intuition did not disappoint him. Although he did not see Batchelor, he saw the disciples of the Hades Wizard.
Several handsome young Paladins were preparing for battle. They told Reggie that Batchelor was in this house.
Reggie didn't know how to respond to what they said, and if it was some clever metaphor, it might look stupid to answer it wrong.
But Reggie really didn't see Bachelo. The cabin was not big, with only one living room and one bedroom. It didn't look like a secret room from the outside. Reggie really couldn't imagine where Bachelo could hide.
where.
After more than ten minutes of awkward looking at each other, Reggie didn't want to waste any more time because it started to rain. Once it rained, it meant that silt would hit Camel Island City again.
"I need to see the Grand Maester immediately. Please tell me where he is. It's best to be direct."
Several teenagers discussed it for a while, and the eldest boy explained to Reggie.
"We have some difficulties. When the mentor left, he said that only Mr. Batchelor Thorne could enter that place, but Mr. Thorne also said that his lord could also enter that place. We don't want to do that now.
Know who to listen to."
"Of course I listen to Mr. Thorne," Reggie said with a smile, "your mentor is not here anyway."
The boy said angrily: "Just because our mentor is not here, we can't disobey his orders!"
Reggie tried his best to remain patient and explained to the boy; "You did not disobey the instructor's order. He has already given me permission to go to that place. It's just that he is still on the battlefield and cannot tell you the news."
The boy looked at Reggie with suspicion: "You are lying, our mentor will not trust you so much!"
"How do you know he doesn't trust me?"
"He told me personally."
"That was a joke. If he doesn't trust me, why would he fight alongside me? Has your mentor ever fought for anyone else?"
The boy was startled. He thought Reggie's words made sense. He turned his back and discussed with the other teenagers, and finally agreed to Reggie's request.
They pushed Saga's bed aside and lifted a huge cover under the bed. Under the cover was a flight of stairs. Unexpectedly, this wooden house actually had a basement.
"We know you brought a lot of people, but you are the only one who can go to that place. It is very dark there. You can bring a candle, but not a torch. There are many books there and they can easily catch fire."
When he mentioned books, Reggie smiled. The most attractive thing in the world to Bachelo is books.
A little girl was worried that Reggie had been misled, so she quickly stepped forward and explained: "The books are on the first floor. Mr. Thorne is not there. He is on the bottom floor."
"Wait a minute," Reggie tilted his head and looked at these teenagers, "You mean, there is more than one floor down here?"
"There are five floors in total. You have to be careful with the stairs. It will be a little slippery after you get to the third floor."
Reggie was a little nervous. He felt that these children were talking nonsense, so he asked Modessa and Dorothy to guard the entrance.
The teenagers looked at the two of them warily, but as long as they did not enter the basement, it seemed that there would be no conflict.
Reggie took the candlestick and cautiously came to the underground floor. Although his vision was limited, Reggie still marveled at the charm of this building.
As those children said, the underground floor is a library. According to Reggie's intuitive judgment, the area of this library is at least four times that of the wooden house. In other words, this is probably an iceberg-shaped building, exposed on the ground.
The above is only a small part.
If he had time, he really wanted to spend a whole day in this library, but now he needed to find his Grand Bachelor as soon as possible.
The children said that Barcello never came out after going in, which meant that he stayed underground for seven full days. Reggie was a little worried that he would see a dried body.
The second floor is twice as big as the first floor. There are all kinds of weapons in it. It seems that the old wizard can not only use staffs, lances, long swords, Dongsang single-edged swords... they are all top-notch.
goods.
The third floor was larger than the second floor, which made Reggie suspect that he had entered an underground pyramid. This floor stored a lot of food, including potatoes, wheat and rare rice. Seeing this, Reggie felt relieved.
, Bachelo shouldn’t starve to death here.
The fourth floor was much smaller than the third floor, and contained strange wizard props. Reggie didn't dare touch these things, so he got to the fifth floor as quickly as possible.
It seemed that the pyramid was rhombus-shaped, and the fifth floor was as big as a wooden house. Reggie saw Batchelor at a glance, and he was looking down at a well.
Batchelor was surprised and happy to see Reggie, and he quickly saluted, but Reggie just wanted to give him a hug.
"My Grand Bachelor, you are still alive. Are you fetching water? I know you must be very thirsty. Why don't you go up and buy me some milk? You old man, I knew you were still alive!"
Reggie hugged Batchelor tightly. No matter how many barriers there were, some things would never change.
"Sir, I have been here for so long that I even forgot about night and day."
Reggie looked around and said, "This is indeed a good place, but how did you survive staying here for seven days at a stretch?"
"It's not that boring. I've been staring down there for the past few days." Batchelor pointed to the well.
"Keep staring at a well? Are you really that thirsty?" Reggie asked in surprise.
"That's not a well, it's a lookout."
Reggie stared at the well in surprise for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's a platform, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with observation."
Batchelor lit a firewood and said to Reggie: "Don't you want to see the wonders below?"
Reggie walked to the well with interest and watched Batchelor throw the firewood in.
The dark well was illuminated, and something was squirming inside, like a lot of small things, and also like a big thing, squirming.
