Chapter 047 Another colleague?
"However, why does what Don Ken said about the prison situation sound more and more familiar?"
The more Colin listened to Duncan's words, the more he felt something was wrong.
this……
It can't really be the same dungeon, right?
Colin was puzzled, but after asking a few more questions, he was basically sure that, hey, it was really the same old place, but it was not a cage, and there was no "beastiality".
And now he has also clarified some doubts through communication with Duncan.
For example, the other party has died once, and the place of death is where the signal was interrupted last time.
As for how he died...
It was pretty much the same as what he had guessed before.
After opening his eyes, Don Ken found that he could not send the message, but he was able to determine the location of the campfire and had a mission to go there.
So he left the group and started on his journey.
As a result, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he was dragged into a hole in the ground by a group of hungry mobs and invited to a feast of delicious food.
The main material is him.
The only lucky thing was that when he was tied to a stone table and his stomach was cut open, and he watched his intestines being eaten by humans, he broke free from his handcuffs, struggled violently, and then was hit on the head with a stone and died.
When I opened my eyes again, the pain was over and I was in a dungeon, starting my second life. I was being dragged out and escorted somewhere.
Compared to those mobs, the guards in the dungeon are much nicer.
Listening to the reports that Duncan kept sending, Colin felt that his luck seemed pretty good indeed.
At least I don't have to worry about being eaten along the way...
"Oh, Captain, I remember that I might have seen a time traveler in that cave."
A time traveler? The information in his mind made Colin stunned. Thinking of other former colleagues who might exist, he quickly responded: "Tell me more about the time traveler."
"I'm not sure, but I vaguely remember that there seemed to be a man dressed like a monk in the cave, and he was very respected."
"Monk?"
Colin became even more confused.
As far as he knew, the painting style of this world was close to the ancient West, or to be more precise, closer to the ancient West in fantasy cultural works.
Suddenly a monk appeared, and the style of the painting seemed a little wrong.
So the probability that they are fellow villagers is very high.
"I can roughly confirm that he was wearing a cassock, the kind worn by Tang Monk in Journey to the West, but he only wore this one, exposing his left chest. I couldn't see the rest of it clearly because he was tied up."
"Understood."
Colin touched his chin and guessed that the person was probably the "Big Eater"? Someone who might be another colleague or another time traveler?
"By the way, the Bonfire Company's previous extra mission to capture the Big Eater's followers alive, was it because the company had already made some discovery at that time?"
As his thoughts turned, he decided to search the area after he rescued Tang Ken.
Judging from Don Ken's description, the "Big Eater" should not be extremely strong and is at a level that can be dealt with.
"With my current strength, even if I really face an employee with full D-level clearance, I can run away even if I can't beat him."
Although "Time Stasis" did not give him the ability to become invincible, it gave him the ability to escape when encountering danger.
In addition, if you use a fortune-telling book to predict good and bad luck before going, there shouldn't be any major problems .
Thinking of this, Colin collected his thoughts and turned to look outside the car.
The place they were passing through at this moment was on higher ground, and they could clearly see the outline of a towering city standing on the land in the distance.
The walls of the city were grey-black in colour, with many patrolling soldiers who looked as small as ants from a distance, as well as some defensive .
By talking with the soldiers, Colin learned that the name of this city was "Black Stone City".
This was the largest city he had ever seen since he came to this world.
It may be two or three times larger than the Land of Death and the city where the human body stitched monster is located. The only thing that can compare with it is probably the equally huge and miraculous underground maze.
"The fortifications on the city wall don't have artillery, they are still mainly cold weapons. Well, maybe some magic and powerful long-range cold weapons..."
Colin opened his eyes slightly, dilating his pupils to let in more light. Taking advantage of the high enough terrain, he could clearly see the city which was several kilometers away in a straight line.
From this perspective, it seems that the human body stitching monster has not spread the knowledge he knows.
Otherwise, the magic cannon might be used now...
Then, he shifted his gaze slightly and looked towards an area outside the city. Over there was a vast plain, which was also the area where the dungeon was located.
"I was traveling at night and didn't expect the city to be right behind me. But then again, I'm not far from Tang Ken now. If I run at full speed, I might be there in ten minutes. If I want to rob the prison, I can use the time-stop function to leave when no one is paying attention."
Colin was somewhat hesitant. If he did this, his current identity would be ruined.
He also wanted to use this identity to go into the town and take a look...
"Let's go into the city and look for an opportunity later."
Colin made a decision in his heart.
Not long after, the carriage arrived at the foot of Black Stone City. A disgusting and unpleasant odor surged over. Colin covered his nose and noticed that outside this tall city, there were large groups of ragged refugees.
There are at least thousands, or even tens of thousands...
However, due to the lack of good sanitation management, excrement was everywhere, mosquitoes and flies were flying around, and the stench was overwhelming, as if one had come to a cesspool.
Everything got better only when we arrived at the city gate.
Since there were nobles on the bus, they were allowed to pass without any inspection.
Some refugees looked at the carriage entering the city from afar with envy in their eyes.
Unfortunately, the huge wall is almost like an insurmountable barrier for them, and many people cannot cross it in their lifetime.
After rolling over the rammed earth road with deep ruts at the city gate, the carriage entered Black Stone City.
The world inside was not that great. Rough buildings made of earth, stone and wood were scattered about. Many residents who were better dressed looked over curiously.
After a while, the messy buildings began to become regular, the material changed to smoothly processed rectangular loess stones, and the ground was paved with stone bricks.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of an inn that looked like a tavern.
"Sir, are you going anywhere?"
As soon as Colin came down, he saw Helena coming over to ask questions, followed by the warden and the old housekeeper.
Why would Ms. Helena use honorifics to address an ordinary person? Warden Calder looked at the figure in front of him who had seemed familiar to him before, and was somewhat surprised.
You know, he had just said a few cold words to this noble man along the way, but this big shot from a noble family didn't even say a word in return. Now he was being so polite to a man who was riding in a car with a soldier?
And judging from the tone, it seems that there is an intention to invite you?
Is this some big shot?
Calder couldn't help but look at Colin twice more. It would have been better if he hadn't looked at him. As soon as he looked at him, he found that he seemed to be more and more familiar...
But I just couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
Tsk, if I open my mouth now, I'll be asking a fatal question... Colin was speechless. Just when he was about to bite the bullet and respond in a hoarse voice.
Suddenly, a scream came from the street not far away:
“Help!!!”
