Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1128 Sixty-six. The time to say goodbye

   Mateus and the councilors arranged the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the fifth dungeon.

On the day the    was completed, they attended the new dungeon where the worms had just withdrawn. With the citizens waiting to enter in the passage as the background, the black and white pictures that might be remembered by all future generations were frozen under the flashlights of newspaper reporters.

   The last one-fifth of the citizens moved into the fifth dungeon.

However, the work of the worms is far from over. People who hide in the deep vacate the refuge area. Those ant nest-like intertwined passage rooms are very easy to hide dirt and dirt. The worms need to turn them into soil layers formed by gravel and soil. Only a few passages connecting the dungeon to the surface of the banyan guards remain.

   In addition, they will expand the underground lake and channel the underground river to five dungeons.

   They will become the river of life in the Wiener dungeon.

  Complete these, the worms will not leave all, they will leave a few individuals to help the future repair and excavation of the dungeon like the Twisted Cultists and Banyan Tree Guards.

The    dungeon has only completed the frame, like a stone sculpture with only shapes carved out - but in any case, this place has changed from the sanctuary of Wiener to the dungeon of Wiener.

  Today became a festival for the entire Wiener Dungeon.

   Mateus distributes food reserves to ensure that everyone can eat to a full stomach.

  Many townspeople welcome the second arrival of banyan guards in front of the entrance. If they weren't spooky, maybe there were citizens who offered wreaths or kisses.

   And the dignitaries went to the city hall auditorium to participate in the grand banquet.

"From the north of the continent, from the other side of the mountains, the shadow of death is spreading, and the icy winds of death are sweeping over us all. We have suffered, smeared with blood and fire, shrouded in despair and death, infested with pain and hatred... But it will pass and we will have a new beginning in this city."

   Mayor Mateus raised his glass to everyone in the auditorium.

   "To the exorcist."

  The atmosphere of the banquet gradually warmed up, and the nobles gathered with each other, ignoring the exquisite cakes and delicacies at the table, and chatting with each other in a low voice.

  Mateus changed from being the focus to being ignored, corresponding to the fact that there were a lot of figures around every member of parliament who escaped the purge.

   "Won't the exorcist come to the banquet?" Maxson came to Matteus with a glass of wine.

   "Mr. Lu Li doesn't like liveliness, and he's not interested in contacting these people." Matthaus touched his glass with him.

"The manifesto is good, but the only thing it has to do with the people in this hall is that they hear it." McKesson took a sip and murmured ironically, "Listen, we can't live up to the exorcist's hard work and this It's a beautiful situation, do you believe it? It won't be long before the exorcist returns, and the dignitaries at the banquet will tear off their disguise and discuss how to eat the flesh and blood of the citizens."

   "I won't give them a chance."

   Matthaus said calmly.

   McKesson was startled. Of course he knew what the buddy was referring to: his end was already doomed, so he didn't care about fame or honor.

   "Is it all worth it?" The thought arose briefly and was discarded by him.

   All of this is certainly worth it.

  Mateus only showed up a few minutes before the banquet, and then quietly left the city hall. The knight led him to find Luli by the farmland and river.

  The icy river rushes through the wilderness of the underground city. Unfortunately, the three-meter-wide stream is not a river, and the farmland with a diameter of about 500 yards has nothing to do with the wilderness.

   And dungeons still only rely on supplies from the old sewers. Even the harvest of autumn crops will not change this outcome: the current crop yields simply cannot support the entire population of the Wiener dungeon, and even five farmlands cannot support one of the dungeons.

The    dungeons only have potential, both residential areas and farmland areas can continue to expand, but the latter need to wait for Lu Li to come to the Wiener refuge area next time, or they find a way to purify the soil.

   or Lu Li to retake the Land of Light.

  The land of light will be able to catch fish around the bay, and if it exists in the sea, it can also be called fish.

   When Mateus saw Lu Li, the laurel crown on his forehead no longer surrounded him, and turned into a branch that he held and touched the river.

   Groundwater is only superficially clear and pure.

  These ice and snow melted and penetrated into the formation, carrying pollution from the surface.

   Boiling may remove some pollution, but only a little, and dungeons can't afford the luxury of boiling water.

   They don't have coal and they don't have that much wood.

   "The pollution of food and water should be prioritized, and research can start with 'purification agents'." Lu Li said to Matthaus who came over. "The worm will help you find mineral resources around the dungeon."

Although the Swamp Mother and the Twisted Shadow have provided a way out for Low Sanity Syndrome and Aberrant Citizens, it is a road that cannot be turned back. They may still have the core and consciousness of human beings, but they have drifted away from the essence of human beings. .

   And mineral resources allow dungeons to start developing. Although the same deep-dwelling dungeon merchants can get any known minerals, just like half of the dungeons belong to farmland - pinning the hope of survival on other existences means giving up the right to master the survival.

  If the old sewers stop supplying supplies, the Wiener dungeon will be left with only 1% of the population within ten days.

   "Wiener University of Humanity has begun to select professors and teachers to prepare for teaching, and the books and recipes you brought are also printed by the newspaper." Matthaus replied.

   "Let them maintain communication with the Land of Light, and the merchants will serve as postmen."

   Mateus agreed, then realized something was silent and asked, "Are you ready to leave?"

   "Well, it's time."

  Lu Li let Ze's mother's branches climb over his shoulders, and then climbed back to the top to form a ring.

   They have been staying in the Wiener Underground City for a month, and the time has entered the beginning of April.

   There are three months until the rainy season, two months before the strange fog approaches the port, and one month before the Whirlpool Land borders the embers.

  Andrea has one more companion, and the Twisted Cultists have increased by 1,400 followers.

   No further delay will make the power of the Onyx Lake camp qualitatively change... It's time to go back and prepare to retake the Land of Light.

   "The Wiener Underground City will not forget your contributions." Matthaus took off his hat and printed it on his chest, and saluted Lu Li and them: "I will not forget my promise..."

   Lu Li and their departure will not be known to everyone.

  Only the knights who escorted Matteus to the surface and some well-informed people know the news. For most citizens, those terrible and friendly heretics are just no longer everywhere, but if you go to church, you can still see them.

  Unfortunately, the surface is now shrouded in silence.

   Disaster befalls their farewell to an unsatisfactory end, Mateus covers his mouth with a strip of cloth, as all Wieners do, to remind themselves that the silent hours are raging.

   After a few dozen minutes, Matteus stood reluctantly at the port, watching Andrea and Hemgrew gradually leave the bay and disappear into the noon darkness.
