Chapter 547 Black Curtain

In the almost palace-level private room of the restaurant, ten attendants stood upright on both sides, serving the three members of the team who chose 3888's highest-end set meal.

As a candle puppet, Thirteen does not need to eat, so the dining car also provides a free puppet cleaning service.

 As the three of them took their seats, the serving process officially began.

Appetizer "Raw pickled salmon with Cercospora (salmon parasitism

 Pre-soup "Sea Mushroom Stew Stimulates Cryptozoon Hot Soup"

Side dish "Smoked cheese parasitic lamb shank"

 Main dishes "Giant Barnacle Claypot Rice", "Spicy Oil-flavored Dragon Nematode Noodles"

Desserts "Black Roundworm Forest Worm Cake" and "Pudding Embryo"

Price soon became immersed in such extreme deliciousness and couldn't extricate himself. The degenerated stomach pouch grows back to its original shape during this process, and the taste buds and digestive tract are also fully activated during this process.

 “There is such delicious food in the world!”

Even Jin beside her was eating with gusto, immersed in the delicious food. She was not picky about the parasites in it, as long as it was delicious, that was enough.

Only William's expression did not change much, because he had already eaten food that was superior in all aspects in the circus.

 During the meal, William had been silently observing Price.

The reason why we led everyone to the [dining car] was apparently to have a meal before the action, so that Price, who had not eaten for thousands of years, could have a good meal and restore his physical condition.

In fact, there is another purpose. He knows very well that Price, who has always stayed in the Rat City and lived in the previous era, must have never eaten anything good. Food must bring him a completely different experience, and even give him Some of its new pursuits.

 Having enough food and wine,

 Price's body was rising and falling while he lay down on the seat to rest.

William turned his head naturally and asked in a very friendly voice:

 “Price, isn’t the food outside great?”

“It’s unbelievable, I’ve never eaten food like this... The eating habit of rat people in the past was to eat it raw. I’m not very particular about it myself, so there’s no such thing as processing.”

William wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with a napkin very elegantly, and said calmly: "In my opinion, the food here is just ordinary. If you are in need of delicious food, the place where I am currently employed has the highest level of food in the old world." tasty.

 Price, if you are interested, you can go there with me after the exploration of the abyss. There happens to be an important position vacant. In my opinion, you are fully qualified to sit in that position. "

 Jin immediately glanced at him and said, "Hey William, Price is a tumor knight. This status does not allow him to join other organizations."

However, before William could speak, Price said:

“According to the knightly decree promulgated by the Cancer Palace, a knight like me who has not returned to the team for many years, has not even returned to the Cancer Palace, and has no news at all should have been removed from the knight list long ago.

 I should be considered a free agent now, right? "

Jin bit his lip slightly and thought for a moment, "Hmm~ There seems to be such a rule... Okay, as long as you don't break any rules."

 After a short rest, the exploration of the [Tenth Abyss] officially begins.

 When the team returned to the gate of Rat City again, Price turned his gaze to the other side.

When the moon eyes under the helmet tried to glimpse the outline of the mine, they were completely blocked by a wisp of darkness, making it impossible to see anything clearly. Even if a ray of moonlight shot out from Price's eyes, it was still useless.

“It was so dark that not even the moonlight could penetrate~ The world has really changed a lot. I used to be just a rat citizen. When I followed the others out of the city to mine, I could get a general view of the entire mine by standing at the door.

 Shrouded in such darkness, I even doubt whether the mine even exists.

Let’s go. If it’s still the same distance as before, it can take up to half an hour on foot. "

On the way forward facing the darkness, Price's huge silver-armored body blocked the front, giving him a sense of security. William was also curious and asked about the [Darknest Mine].

This question also aroused Price’s memories.

“Before the establishment of the Rat City, the rat people lived around the mines, and there were even multiple communities scattered around the mountainous areas.

 Until the Cancer Palace discovered the value of this mine, it sent the Tumor Knight who was suffering from the plague to come here and rely on its absolute strength to rule the entire rat group and build a city in a short period of time.

With the excavation and mining of mines, a kind of stone called "dark stone" was officially circulated.

Not only is the solidity of dark stone among all stones, but it can also effectively resist evil sunlight. It is simply a necessity for some old world patients who do not like to bask in the sun.

 If you are lucky enough, you can also get "Dark Crystal" from the mine. This crystal can be processed into jewelry or wand cores, and has an excellent amplifying effect on dark-type diseases.

The same is true. As I take the position of city lord, I only need to use my brain a little. Don't think about just offering sacrifices to the Cancer Palace. I can make this business bigger and stronger in a short time.

And because of my position and the corresponding [Cancer Palace] behind Rat City, no one dares to have the idea of ​​​​exploiting the mine. Some thieves will be branded by the moonlight immediately and be hunted down by my Silver Moon Rat Group. .

The scale of Rat City is also growing, and it was even once considered a key urban area by the Cancer Palace.

 But at this moment, the war came... We lost completely. "

  A brief narration made Price feel a little bit. William could see that although he placed everything on the moon and the queen on the moon, part of his thoughts were still tied to the city and the rat people.

The same is true. Price walked very quickly when he left the tower. He didn't respond at all to the rat people kneeling on both sides of the street. It wasn't that he didn't care, but that he felt ashamed of the rat people in his heart, and he was not worthy of the title of city lord. .

Just when William wanted to further inquire about the war that occurred around Rat City, the team suddenly stopped moving forward.

 Except for Thirteen who has no eyes, everyone has their eyes widened.

About a hundred meters in front of the team, a black screen connecting the sky and the earth and blocking out all light sources appeared.

It is very similar to a stage curtain. The surface has a wavy pattern, and even the fabric material can be clearly seen. It seems to be hanging directly from the sky, and it seems to be rising from the ground.

 When you look at both sides of the curtain, you will find that this layer of black curtain is circular in shape, completely surrounding the inner area, and any light is rejected.

Thirteen who followed the team at the end gave an explanation: "The "black curtain" is the boundary symbol of the land of darkness... Once we cross the curtain, we will officially set foot in the land of darkness, but this kind of curtain like a solid cloth is extremely rare.

 Most of the descriptions related to curtains in the book are in a gaseous or liquid state.

 There is no record of a solid state like this in books from a hundred years ago. It may be different, so everyone has to be careful. "

William asked: "Is there anything I need to pay attention to when crossing the veil?"

“The most typical characteristics of curtains are “isolation” and “space disruption.”

 Individuals who step into it will be randomly teleported to a certain area in the extremely dark place, which may be deep or shallow, and become disoriented. If they want to leave, they must find a way out. "

“Space is disrupted? If we walk in together, will we also be disrupted?”

“My candlelight can suppress the effect of the curtain. As long as everyone stands inside the candlelight and enter together, there will be no spatial disturbance.

Even if it is accidentally triggered, the candlelight can make everyone form a whole and be transported to the same place through light connection. Just in case, teacher you'd better use the stars to cooperate with me. "

"OK."

Jin who was on the side listened to the introduction silently, and the cancer cells in her body became inexplicably excited. Several red lotuses even bloomed at the joints of the armor to express her excitement.

As the team gradually approached the curtain, they unexpectedly discovered that there were a large number of tents set up in front of the curtain, and there were even a lot of food remnants.

Some tents were empty, while in some tents there were actually sick people moving about.

Thirteen once again explained, "Treasure hunters... If so many treasure hunters gather here, it means that this "extremely dark place" should be relatively new, and may have only appeared within a hundred years, or even shorter.

As long as they can find an ancient treasure inside, the only thing they need to do for the rest of their lives is enjoy it. "
