82 Huge Earthworms - Chapter 82
Fraus smiles and takes a deep breath. He understands the motive beneath the good personality of Alben but does not care. Every living being in danger and despair wants to be near people who are strong and can protect themselves from the dangers; otherwise, the things would do no good for themselves.
"Then, lead the way. You will be rewarded. What would you like, silver is enough ?"
Alben, hearing silver, opened his eyes like a hungry wolf and his mouth started getting
In the end, silver and gold, and these kinds of valuable things are mineral-based things, especially delicacy in Alben's eyes. In these kinds of places and empires, and races, these kinds of food sources, whatever they may be, can be used as money and have a level of purchasing power.
After hearing the words of Fraus, Alben did not hesitate anymore and led the way. Fraus switches places with Zed Gen and then follows Alben. The distance is not that close but not that much.
They were starting to pass through small caves that Gemini Clones were not able to find. It seems like dwellers have some sort of ability to find small caves and other things underground that may not be possible for others to find. This makes sense given that the Dweller race spent their entire lives underground, from birth to death, and it is only natural for them to know better.
Alben keeps going on.
Gemini Clones follow him in the caves. He turns right and left. There is no light, but it seems like it would not matter much. Dwellers can see in the dark with ease, and Gemini Clones can see in the dark as Fraus can see in the dark. Because of the level of power already at the level of the torch level, it changes everything and anything.
It makes them go on without stopping at one place without any problems. which makes these kinds of things important and have a reason in the eyes of others, which only makes the people out there shocked beyond relief.
As the one dweller, ten Gemini clones kept on walking, Fraus asked a question to Alben.
"Do you people know a way to get past the big black metal door that leads to the fake castle and place?"
He already had an answer for him because of this understanding.
"Yes, Lord, we know a way. It is called Depth Bloom. An underground tunnel network goes underneath the black door. I believe I heard something about humans too trying the same thing."
Fraus, interested in the words of Alben, asked.
"What do you mean by trying?"
Alben then recalled some memories from his mind.
"Humans entered the Ancel Clan Underground City and encountered the black door. They tried everything to get past the door but it was no use. They then tried to dig a tunnel beneath the door."
"But, after sometime later, they gave up and then just went on their way."
"The reason being that the Ancel Clan has some sort of magical thing that blocks people from digging underground."
Fraus nodded and then added,
"You mean that the entrance that you people are using called Depth Bloom is far away from the Black Door, so the spell Ancel Clan is using does not affect that place."
Alben smiled and nodded.
"Yes, my lord, that is exactly what happens."
Fraus takes a deep breath and then begins to think."Why would they make this so hard to enter? There should be a reason for them to do that. The fact that their history with starsign things enough for people to seek treasure means they are hiding something, and only people with a great deal of mind and power can take what they are hiding. "
"Maybe it is some sort of inheritance."
He starts to believe the matter of the Ancel Clan may be an inheritance that nobody had access to until now. But if there is some sort of inheritance hidden in the Ancel Clan, why do big empires and powers, like the Blue Bird Empire, not seek it out?
Considering their power and hunger for more power, they would be solely cultivating people in this regard. But from what he is seeing, it seems like they do not care about the Ancel Clan Ruins.
"Maybe I am wrong."
As they continue in the caves, he starts to hear some tremors and rumbles. Alben walks as he starts talking.
"We are in the living grounds of earthworms. They are usually harmless creatures. Compared to us, they can eat stones all their lives."
Fraus walks as he asks.
"I assume they dig like you too."
Alben shakes his head as he smiles and continues,
"They are not digging, they are flying in a literal sense."
Fraus stops for a second. Alben notices shock of Fraus and adds:
"They are also called Earth Birds. They have wings like birds on the outside, but their wings are magical and each time they use them, they are propelled inside of stone and earth."
Fraus blinks, and then, with a smile, he asks.
"You are saying that their wings give them the ability to phase through objects each time they use them."
Alben nodded.
"Yes, my lord, it is exactly like that; as a result, they can travel anywhere underground without causing any damage."
"Then what were the sound and tremors, we heard"
Alben stops for a second and then answers as he looks Fraus in the eye.
I said they were earthworms. My lord, I did not say anything about what they were doing. I believe they have some sort of enemy that they try to kill. "
Fraus nodded and smiled. If these Earthworms creating these kind of sounds to kill an enemy. The enemy must be strong being that able to danger them enough to make them create and give these kind of effort.
He wanted to see it. But he will stay and do not leave.
