   Chapter 745 Thirty-six. Old Sewers

   "Dust cloth? How could such a thing exist."

   Leaving the manor, when Lu Li asked Katerina about the dust cloth, she said that she had never heard of it: "I haven't heard of it, even if it exists, I can't afford it."

   is again a fictional thing. Thinking that the fabric of the dust cloth is the same as the tarpaulin of the caravan, everything has the answer.

   "Let's go back to the Cape of Good Hope Tavern now." Katarina went back the same way and walked towards the center of the lower town. "The tavern owner knows how to get to Midnight City."

   "You said you've been there." Lu Li said calmly.

   "...When I was very young, I almost forgot." Katerina pretended to be normal.

   "You said you experienced a weird lair as a child and escaped to Tango Town."

   "Well, I'll be honest."

Embarrassed Katarina had no choice but to reveal the truth: "I've only heard others say there. Don't look at me like that, bragging is common among hunters. In order to look good and sound powerful, every hunter has some Half-truths, things to brag about, like my title."

  For the remote town of Tangge deep in the dark wilderness, going to Midnight City is indeed something to brag about.

   "So you don't know what's going on in Midnight City?"

   "...It's very prosperous there, just like the city in the old days." Katerina replied after a moment of silence.

   So it's hard to tell whether Katerina never interacts with other people because of her personality, or because she can't answer when someone asks her what Midnight City is like.

   "This way, this way!"

   A shrill shout in unison suddenly came from the side. In the dark alley where the sewage was flowing, a two-headed puppet stood on the trash can and waved to Lu Li: "I found the baby, come here quickly."

   "Don't go, there are either corpses or strange faces in it, and don't ignore them. They will hate you because of this. Just make an excuse to refuse." Katerina's reminder sounded in her ears.

   Lu Li did as he did, covering his nose and answering: "It stinks inside, forget it."

   Before Lu Li and Katarina left the alley, before the two-headed puppet villain invited them again.

   "I thought you would say it bluntly." Katerina couldn't help but say: "Well... it's a lot more natural than I thought."

   It would have been this way, but the Doomsday book doubled even the "show".

   Soon, the sign of the Cape of Good Hope Tavern appeared in sight.

   Back to the hustle and bustle tavern, the boss is no exception to their return: "I said there is always a chance."

   "You got it right." Katarina didn't like the tavern owner very much, and said bluntly, "We're going to the old sewers."

   "Toll, 5 shillings per person."

   "Why so many?" Katarina frowned. "Just take us to the old sewers and not to Midnight City."

   "Because of safety, those things in the old sewers will not treat you as thrown food." The tavern owner looked at Lu Li and spread his palms. "Every day, poor people who can't pay and want to smuggle are eaten directly."

   "Okay...we'll pay." Katarina agreed through gritted teeth, selling ghoul dens and catching thieves to make her pockets a little richer, so she wouldn't feel distressed for 10 shillings: "When will we go."

   "Forty minutes later. You can use this time to wander around town, but remember to come back before you go, or you'll have to buy a new ticket."

   Katarina paid 10 shillings and left the Cape of Good Hope Tavern with Lu Li again.

   "Stingy **** want money for everything, and when a burglar shows up, he didn't even waive my room bill..."

   This is the root cause of Katarina's hatred of the tavernkeeper.

   "Where is the old sewer?" Lu Li asked.

  Katerina pointed to the road that stretched to the top of the low mountain: "It's up there."

   "Tell me about the old sewers."

   "Well...I don't know much." Katarina has never been to Midnight City or the old sewers. She could only tell Lu Li what she only knew.

  The old sewer was formerly a giant underground structure built in the old days, which itself was endowed with a miraculous mission: to lead the melted lakes of the world's back mountains to the old river plains that lacked water, which is now the dark wilderness.

  This ambitious and delusional plan came to nothing because of the advent of a strange age, leaving only unfinished ruins.

   Until Midnight Town appeared, it was sitting on the site of the old sewer. And as Midnight Town became prosperous, the old underground sewers were reactivated.

  Because it was also sheltered by Midnight Town, but not under the jurisdiction of its church, the old sewers quickly became a dirty place. Wanted humans, aliens, aliens, aberrations, infidels, evil spirits, and even weirdos are described as "chaotic and sinful" as if to praise.

  Because more and more dirty existences "should not appear on the ground" gathered, the old sewers began to expand around. At first, the old sewers only extended to the edge of the safety zone of Midnight City, but as the shelter emerged, people knew that the ground was safer than the ground, and the old sewers began to expand and penetrate deep into the ground like crazy.

  Twenty years have turned it into a maze-like underground area, with veins spreading to every corner of the dark wilderness. No one knows how deep the old sewer area was and how many branches it had.

The old sewer from    Ghost Town to Midnight City is the shallowest area, and the chaos is not as serious as the lower level. Of course, it is also related to the closer to Midnight City, the more "powerful" the existences living there.

"In the old sewers, you may gain everything, or you may lose everything." Katarina slowly narrated what she heard, but the credibility of this paragraph was put in quotation marks by Katarina - the businessman when she heard it. already drunk.

  In any case, it will be very different from what Lu Li has experienced - he has to prepare for the real weird times.

   "Where are we going now?" Katerina asked Lu Li who was walking along the street out of the town.

"buying clothes."

   In addition to the black robe draped over the outside, Lu Li also wore a black coat with a hole in the back and a sackcloth found in the shelter.

   "I know a—"

  Katerina's voice stopped abruptly, and Lu Li walked into a ready-to-wear store that was expensive when he looked at the window display case.

   It was too late to stop her, so Katarina could only follow her into the shop and saw Lu Li say to the waiter, "I need a set of clothes."

  White shirt, black woolen trench coat, trousers, tie, everything is in the old days.

   Lu Li's figure and face when he stepped out of the locker room did make Katerina uncontrollably immersed in it, but as Lu Li paid the fee, her heart was filled with pain.

   Putting on black robes, Lu Li and Katerina left the clothing store.

   "The way you spend money can't even be compared to the nobles I've ever seen." Katerina was in such pain that she couldn't breathe, she couldn't believe that some clothes were worth 180 shillings. "You used to be rich?"

"almost."
