The Devil’s Cage Chapter 81: Hook Alley
Esley got off the train and looked at the Hook Alley in front of him. A little helplessness appeared on the face of ‘Swordsmith’ hidden by the system.
What debt is the hardest to repay?
No doubt, human debt!
So, when faced with the proprietress of the pub, ‘Swordsmith’ will always be unconsciously short.
Because, once, he owed a lot of favors to the proprietress of the tavern, so far, there is no real payment.
And he appeared in Hook Alley, the headquarters of Free Alliance, also for the sake of repaying human relations.
Decoman, a member of Free Alliance.
It is not a core member, but it is not a marginal person. It is the kind of loner that does not want to be bound and does not want to be a real loner. Finally, it chose Player of Free Alliance. After him, let him gain a lot.
Also, to a certain extent, Decoman is a key figure that allows him to truly enter one of the top ten Supernova.
So, after receiving help from the other party, Esley immediately set off to Hook Alley.
Looking at the colorful alleys consisting of gravel paths and low-rise houses in front of him, ‘Swordsmith’ pouted his lips. He doesn’t like this kind of fairy-tale town.
I don’t think it’s naive.
Just think that some fairy tales are far less simple than they seem.
Digging a little bit, it’s all dark.
For ‘Swordsmith’, the feeling of ruining childhood is really terrible.
Maybe this is why adults don’t like to read fairy tales?
With the thought of heart, ‘Swordsmith’ walked into Hook Alley, and as soon as he stepped into the alley, a burst of wheels sounded.
Not from the alley, but from behind.
‘Swordsmith’ looks back.
Three pumpkin carriages of different colors approached slowly and approached slowly. Each carriage was about 50 meters apart. The driver in a dress was sitting in front.
However, these drivers are not living people, but a skeleton.
But this does not prevent them from making sounds—
"Want to go to your destination?"
"10 points."
When the first black pumpkin car came, the skeleton in the same black dress pulled the black horse and asked ‘Swordsmith’.
After seeing no answer from ‘Swordsmith’, the black pumpkin carriage went straight away and disappeared into Hook Alley.
"Want to go to your destination?"
"100 points."
The second pumpkin car was red, and the skeleton in the red dress pulled the reins and asked the same words.
‘Swordsmith’ still didn’t answer.
The red pumpkin cart also goes away and disappears like a black pumpkin cart.
"Want to go to your destination?"
"1000 points."
The third pumpkin cart is white. When the white horse stopped, the skeleton of the white gift take stood up and asked after asking for ‘Swordsmith’
"Okay."
Without the silence as before, ‘Swordsmith’ nodded and boarded the pumpkin cart directly.
After entering the car, ‘Swordsmith’ ignored the prompt to spend 1000points, but raised his hand to touch a brass ring on his left index finger.
There are no complicated patterns, and no embellishment, it looks like a ring chosen by rural women.
But only its real owner ‘Swordsmith’ will understand its benefits.
Not only can identify the danger, but also can prompt safety.
This brass ring has always been one of the most indispensable item of Swordsmith.
It just gave a warning when the black and red pumpkin truck came, and when the white pumpkin truck came, it said it was safe.
Countless times of surviving experience has made ‘Swordsmith’ never doubt the reliability of this item.
Wheeling, helling.
The skeleton driver in white costume shook the reins, and the pumpkin truck was heading towards the depths of Hook Alley. ‘Swordsmith’, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the fast-moving buildings on both sides and issued PM to Decoman again.
Unfortunately, I ignored it at all.
There is no useful information except that the name that is still on indicates that the other party is still alive.
Not even who the enemy is.
Similarly, ‘Swordsmith’ found nothing after searching his memory.
In his impression, no one has used the "pumpkin carriage to pick people" method.
Of course, ‘Swordsmith’ believes that as he deepens, the other party will show his feet and let him find flaws.
After all, there are only a few people in Giant City who deserve his attention.
"Guest, your destination is here."
After the bumps along the way, the voice of the skeleton driver sounded, and the door of the pumpkin car also opened at the same time. After walking down the pumpkin car, ‘Swordsmith’ looked at the castle in front of him with doubt.
Blue minaret roof, white exterior wall, colorful tapestry hanging down from the tall tower windows, the suspension bridge that should be hung up, this time has been put down, a team of knights with bright helmets , Divided into two columns, standing on both sides of the suspension bridge, extending to the castle gate.
From the direction of ‘Swordsmith’, you can easily see the lively situation in the castle.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is when did this castle appear?
Although ‘Swordsmith’ does not recognize Free Alliance, he still taught with Free Alliance. The other party had commissioned him to cast weapons more than once, and he had come to Hook Alley more than once.
He can be sure that Hook Alley has never had such a castle.
Wheeling, helling.
After being delivered to the guests, the skeleton dressed in white owed to the salute and drove away, leaving ‘Swordsmith’ standing alone in front of the suspension bridge.
He touched the brass ring.
There are no danger warnings or safety tips.
"There is neither danger nor safety..."
"Unknown?"
‘Swordsmith’ frowned.
He hates this situation very much.
If he can, he wants to turn around and walk away, but the Decoman's humanity makes him have to walk hard toward the suspension bridge.
The touch from the sole tells ‘Swordsmith’ that this suspension bridge is real.
Qiao!
Crack, crack.
And right after ‘Swordsmith’ walked on the suspension bridge, the knights standing in two rows pulled out Longsword, not attacking, but patting the shield with his sword spine.
It is very rhythmic, as if it is a kind of war song.
People feel **** and excited when they hear it.
Even the'Swordsmith' is no exception, but he endured the excitement in his heart and walked across the suspension bridge step by step and crossed the two rows of knights. When walking to the city gate, one was wearing a vest The tax officer of the boots came over with a smile on his face.
"Into the city fee 10points."
The other party said this.
‘Swordsmith’ gave 10points.
The tax officer’s smile became more sincere, and the other party turned sideways, bent over, and gestured to ‘Swordsmith’.
‘Swordsmith’ stepped forward.
There is still no danger warning for brass rings.
There is no danger in his intuition.
Everyone who passes by him is smiling.
Even if he went into several shops, the things sold in it were real.
There is food, wine, and life miscellaneous.
But there are no signs of Free Alliance members.
"Will it be here?"
After a big circle, ‘Swordsmith’ stood in front of the inner city of the castle. He carefully covered figure and slowly approached the inner city.
When there was still more than ten meters away from the inner city, a burning tingling came from the brass ring.
Danger warning!
‘Swordsmith’ immediately withdrew and retreated.
But nothing has changed in the castle.
‘Swordsmith’ looked at it in amazement, he didn’t notice that the shadow under his feet began to move silently.
......
Kieran walked off the train and saw Hook Alley not far away.
Immediately, an uncomfortable feeling rose from heart.
Kieran frowned.
He started sending messages to J.Peroma.
2567: Where are you?
......
Wait for five minutes or so without reply.
According to the situation where the two have just contacted, such a thing is impossible.
Unless, one of the parties died.
The name of J.Peroma has not become bleak.
The other party is still alive, but does not reply to his PM.
Kieran does not lift from the corner of the mouth.
He originally just wanted to make up for the loss he had just made from the inner ghost of Free Alliance, but he did not expect that the other party had prepared a big surprise for him.
"Interesting."
Kieran squinted both eyes and looked into the distance.
As the wagon wheels sounded, three three-color pumpkin carts were approaching Kieran.
The speed of the three pumpkin trucks is not fast. It took two minutes to see them from Kieran to the first black pumpkin truck parked in front of Kieran.
"Want to go to your destination?"
"10 points."
The skull in a black dress asked Kieran like this.
I just bleed a lot, and Kieran, who is still in a state of physical pain, hears the other person’s words, and his brow is a pick. Raising his leg without hesitation is a sweep.
Skulls, pumpkin carts, and horses in black dresses collapsed in this sweep, and turned into debris.
A moment later, the second red pumpkin carriage heard in front of Kieran.
"Want to go to your destination?"
"100 points."
Boom!
It was another one-legged sweep, and the red pumpkin car stepped on the back of the black pumpkin car.
Finally, the white pumpkin cart.
The black, red and bright fragments are right next to the road. The white skull standing up on the carriage and seeing the salute is very clear.
"Want to go to your destination?"
"White Jake is for you sincerely."
"Uh."
Kieran nodded.
The white skeleton immediately jumped off the driver’s seat and opened the door of the pumpkin car for Kieran.
"Please get in the car."
The white skull bowed respectfully.
Kieran stepped on the ladder of the car and walked into the pumpkin car compartment, which is also white throughout, with front and back seats and a small low cabinet on the side of the window. Some miscellaneous is put on it.
"There are drinks in the cupboard, please feel free to enjoy."
"If anything, please tell me, I’m right in front."
Speaking of such words, the white skull gently closed the door of the car, and then, as the reins shuddered, the pumpkin car began to walk slowly.
Very stable.
Kieran sat in it without feeling a little bumpy, and, in that low cabinet, Kieran found two pots of drinks and a basket of snacks.
The two pots are wine and black tea.
Dim sums are baked cream waffles.
After smelling it and confirming that there is no addition in it, Kieran temporarily put it into backpack. Now is not the time to enjoy food.
The smooth and fast journey is over in just a few minutes.
"Your Excellency, your destination is here."
The white skeleton opens the door and points to the castle road outside.
"Are you sure this is?"
Kieran asked in a chair Motionless.
The voice is indifferent, just like the body, without any slight fluctuations.
The invisible breath is like the gaze of Vicious Beast, shrouded in white skulls.
"This, this..."
"Maybe I remembered it wrong."
"Please sit down, we will reach the real destination immediately."
After the door of the pumpkin car was closed, it started again.
The Kieran sitting in the carriage is still moving Motionless.
The Soul Fire in the white skull of the horse-drawn carriage is a tremor that cannot be stopped. If it can sweat, it will be full head sweating at the moment.
Is anxious.
Again... afraid.
While welcoming more than a dozen guests, it was the first time he met a guest like Kieran.
It’s a big deal when it doesn’t match, it has seen it.
But it’s the first time I’ve seen them hurt.
"Poor Black Jack and Red Jack, I hope your bones will not be taken away by wild dogs."
"I also hope you bless me and don’t be the next one."
As a Follower with independent thinking ability, White Jake began to pray at this time, and turned the carriage direction to the real destination.
It doesn’t know how Kieran knows that the destination just now is fake~IndoMTL.com~ is a trap, it wants to retaliate Kieran for not paying the fare.
However, it knows that in order to live, it can no longer play tricks.
This journey is much longer than before.
After about twenty minutes, the carriage stopped again.
"Your Excellency, this is it."
"I swear, this is the real destination."
After opening the door, White Jake said directly.
Kieran glanced at the castle outside, the appearance is the same as what he just saw, as for the inside?
Naturally, there are some differences.
Kieran got off the carriage.
Looking at the Kieran walking off the carriage, White Jake breathed a sigh of relief. When the skeleton driver wanted to leave, Kieran spoke.
"Wait."
Kieran not only stopped the other party, but also pulled off the reins, so that the other party was tied up.
"Ge, Your Excellency, what are you doing?"
White Jake stammered.
"Nothing."
"Exploring the way ahead."
Kieran rightly said.
"But I am a driver, I can't..."
"Okay!"
"Although I am a driver, I also have excellent path-finding skills."
Feeling the coldness in the breath of Kieran, White Jake immediately changed his rhetoric, and walked to the gate of the castle.
The two columns of knights again draw Longsword and play war songs with sword spine and shield.
The spirit of formidable made Kieran unaffected by a little bit. He glanced at the two rows of knights and looked at the smiling man who was running towards him.
When he came to Kieran, the man began to introduce himself.
"Hello Your Excellency, I am the tax officer of this city."
"If you want to enter the city, you need 10points."
As he speaks, the tax officer is ready to perform his duties.
