When Xia De found Miss Brown hiding in the North District from the Canary Manor in the South District of Tobesk again, the last ray of sunset had already fallen below the horizon.
The city ushered in a new night, but the good news brought by Xia De changed Miss Brown's mood from night to day.
Regarding the help that Princess Margaret mentioned, Miss Brown's eyes turned red and she didn't know what to say. But Shad didn't have time for the lady to express her gratitude or admiration for the princess:
"Let's go quickly. When I came here in a carriage just now, I saw that there were more policemen on the street than usual. It's already night, and I think there will be police raids all over the city tonight. Let's go talk to Flynn first. Join Mr. Jia."
Miss Brown has a map here, Shade unfolded the map and spread it on the ground:
"Look, we're going to enter the center of Tobesk first, enter the underground sewer pipe through this alley, and find your fiancé."
He pointed to the center of the map:
"Then go all the way west from here to the banks of the Terraria River. There is a pier on the east bank of the river, and the cargo ship for the princess will probably stay until eleven o'clock tonight. We only need to wait until eleven o'clock tonight Put you on board before 1:00 p.m., and you'll be safe."
After talking about the plan, the two simply packed up their things and packed them into two suitcases. It was really a nuisance to take these two pieces of luggage on a night walk, so Shade asked Miss Brown to leave them here first, and said that someone would send them to the pier by the Terraria River later.
But in fact, Xia De asked Miss Brown to go downstairs first, where he dealt with the traces of the two, and took advantage of this time to turn the two suitcases into toys and put them away.
"Follow me, ma'am."
They came downstairs together. Miss Brown was wrapped in a black lady's coat and a hat, and she was wrapped in a bloated cotton coat to cover her figure. She still has limited mobility in her legs, so she can't run fast. But due to tonight's situation, Xia De couldn't take her in the carriage, which made the next part of the journey very difficult.
The two hurriedly entered the night like this. Xia De walked in front, and Miss Brown followed behind him. The two first left the unlit Long Ear Alley, and then turned into another alley in tandem.
According to the map, they chose remote alleys as much as possible, and every time they reached a fork in the road, Shad first checked whether there were patrolling police nearby, and Miss Brown squatted and hid behind the bunker. The pair speed through if there are no police officers, and detour around nearby blocks if there are.
Of course, if you really encounter a policeman who cannot be avoided, Xia De will go up to chat with the policeman and ask why there are so many policemen on patrol tonight. His status as a respected gentleman who lived in the Place Saint Teresa was deceptive. While Shad attracted the attention of the police, Miss Brown passed by quickly.
The alleys of the slums in northern Tobesk extend in all directions, and it is easy to get lost with the guidance of a map. Sometimes the police are not the biggest obstacle to the progress of the two. The robbers and drunks who haunt the night are the most dangerous people in the North District.
Since he couldn't shoot, Xia De could only choose to fight them personally. He was tired all day, and he wasn't in a good mood, so when he punched those in the way, he couldn't help but feel a little bit helpless, which also made him really know how strong he was.
And once encountering a dead end in an alley, or a low wall that is not recorded on the map, in order not to waste too much time detouring, Shad has to find a way to jump over with Miss Brown on his back, or find debris nearby to build a Steps or ladders for the disabled lady to climb over.
This is only the difficulty encountered in the northern district, and once it crosses the northern district and enters the central city of Tobesk, there will be fewer remote alleys, more roads with bright gas lamps, and more police officers.
Even tonight, like most nights of the year, the city is covered with gray smog, but it is still very difficult to hide your identity and operate in the center of Tobesk. The most dangerous time happened on the uphill street. Shade first went up to investigate the situation, and Miss Brown hid in the dark crack between two shops on the downhill.
But at this time, from behind them, a group of patrolling policemen actually came. There were three people in the group, and the leader was holding a kerosene lamp.
When Xia De saw them from the uphill of the road, he was really frightened, but fortunately, the three of them did not find Miss Brown hiding in the crack of the wall. If they really found out, Xia De might have to let them sleep here for a while.
In short, after crossing a small half of the city with difficulty, at 8:10 on Wednesday night, the two finally found the alley that Mr. Feringa pointed out. Shad opened the trapdoor in the ground and helped Miss Brown into the sewer.
Unlike the stinky length of pipe he entered with the doctor last week, the pipe Mr Feringa chose was still warm and damp, but not smelly. After all, not all areas of the sewer are designed to flow sewage. When Shad and Miss Brown found Mr. Feringa along the pipe, they found him hiding in a dark room similar to a lounge.
"This is the break room for the crew who repairs the plumbing."
After just explaining to Xia De, Mr. Ferringa and Miss Brown hugged and kissed together. A man and a woman told each other tears of love, and promised to escape together and continue to live in a place where no one knew them.
"Ahem~"
"We have to set off for the banks of the Tylarell River as soon as possible, and the road ahead will not be easy. If you want to talk to each other, there is time when there is plenty on the boat."
He also briefly explained the next plan to Mr. Feringa. The gentleman who was in charge of sewer gas pipeline maintenance said while wiping his red and swollen eyes:
"Thank you very much, but if that's the case, we don't really have to go to the ground. From here, yes, in the sewers, I know that there is a road that leads directly to that dock on the river Terraria, but there are some areas along the way , locked with a metal fence, and there are areas where there are rats."
"It doesn't matter, I have the skeleton key on me. As for the rats, I don't think we will care... unless there are hundreds of rats attacking us together"
Xia De said casually, beckoning to the two:
"Let's go quickly."
If you're in an adventure game in an outlander's hometown, or in a knightly novel in this world, moving through the sewers, you will inevitably encounter enemies such as ghouls, mutant rats, and even sleeping evil witches. But in fact, Tobesk's sewer was very calm. Although they heard someone talking in the distance, no one appeared in front of them to stop them.
The only danger is the ubiquitous small creatures, spiders, mice, and many small creatures that hid in the ground and hibernated because of the arrival of winter.
Xia De even saw a group of wild cats living in the sewer. These cats liked Xia De very much like the cats on the ground. Although they didn't approach him directly, a dozen cats led the way together and drove away the group of mice. Let them go through the most dangerous part of the journey.
In return, Xia De gave those wild cats a lot of Mia's cat food. In this way, all the cat food on his body was consumed, and he hoped that Mia would not find this out.
Relying on Mr. Feringa's familiarity with the sewers, although they went the wrong way twice, they finally came to the end of the sewers at half past nine in the evening.
After Shade opened the rusty iron door, there was a narrow and dark passage outside the door. Going forward, another door not far away that was stuck in the wall due to deformation was kicked open by Shad, and the channel of the Terraria River was outside. It seemed that this was an abandoned drain.
The pier is less than a hundred steps to the left of the three of them.
In the dark night, the freight steamer docked quietly at the pier. There was some fire on the boat, and it was so vague that I couldn't see the specific appearance.
Xia De changed the suitcase in his pocket on the pretext of going to the nearby area to investigate first, and returned it to Miss Brown. Then, under the cover of night, the three of them hurried to the pier:
"Hurry up, your freedom is at hand."
Xia De lowered his voice and urged, let Miss Brown and Mr. Feringa go forward first, he was very worried about the scene of hundreds of guns sticking out at the same time behind him.
But what he was worried about didn't happen, the night was still so dark, and there was no one on the avenue along the river.
"Oh, there's someone there!"
But Miss Brown, who took a step first, stopped~www.mtlnovel.com~ Xia De turned around and looked, there were actually people waiting for them on the small pier at the pier. It was not the captain who had received the news in advance, but a blonde girl in a cloak and a hood, watching the three of them approaching from the side of the trestle with her maid.
The eyesight of Mr. Feringa and Miss Brown was far inferior to that of Shard, so only Shard recognized Princess Marguerite Anjou at a glance.
"Don't worry, it's Your Highness."
Xia De explained something, and Miss Brown immediately trembled all over.
"Don't waste time, come with me."
The three hurried onto the trestle, and Princess Margaret also came over, but deliberately avoided her former maid, and the princess was still unwilling to talk to Miss Brown.
"Sir, ma'am, come up quickly, the boat is about to sail!"
The sailors on the deck also urged at this time, and Xia De immediately pushed the two of them close to the wooden ladder to board the ship. Princess Margaret took two steps back and watched Xia De talking to the two, but she remained silent.
