Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 92 Tails’ Big Adventure

A relatively plump mouse was walking through the hidden corners of Zhongni Street. Relying on its insignificant stature and the remoteness of this area, it had no worries about being discovered by humans or other creatures. It just walked along in a swagger. Go straight ahead around the corner until you exit the alley.

It first observed the surrounding environment in the shadow of the alley, and after determining the route, it began to run quickly along the selected corner. The shadow cast by the wall covered its body, and its destination was also Very clear.

It quickly moved from the shadow of the street corner to the wall of the Duke's mansion without attracting the attention of any creature. It paused briefly and then began to sniff around, seemingly looking for its own kind.

Tail is already considered an elder among its group. It has rich experience in raising rats and knows that such a big house means abundant food. When it was young, it often lived in a certain family's house. Living a daily battle of wits and courage with humans and their cats, it knew that there must be passages chewed out by its own kind between the walls. Rats are such a pervasive species.

It soon smelled the clue and moved quickly along the angle of the wall. Soon it turned from the shadow of the southern wall to the west wall, and then continued to move north along the wall.

Ten minutes later, under the cover of the surrounding green shrubs, and about to reach the next corner, the tail finally discovered a very hidden mouse hole on the side of the brick-paved road.

"Okay, Nohir, I found the path left by my kind."

"Very good, Tails. Next, I will remind you of the location of those invisible little devils. You can follow my instructions to find an opportunity to rush over."

At this time, Nohir is still staying deep in the sewer. He is currently connecting his vision to Tails' visual organ through the beast sense, and at the same time sensing the position of the little devils through the control crown. By combining the new connection with the animal communication technique, you can communicate with the tail at any time and remind the tail to be careful of those little devils.

As for why he stayed in the sewer, this was a good decision made by Nohill for his own safety. The spell he cast on Tails had a minor shortcoming. This small shortcoming made him have to find a safer place. And staying hidden can ensure your own safety to the greatest extent.

When activating the spell of beast perception, Nohir can connect his vision and hearing to the subject animal. However, when the vision is connected to it, his body becomes blind, and when the hearing is connected to it, his body becomes blind. Deaf, although Nohir can switch the perspective at will, it is daytime, and it is too unsafe to just stay on the street and release this spell.

Under such circumstances, it becomes inconvenient for Nohir to move around on the surface. You must know that there are many magical casters in the niches neighborhood. If they really encounter them, these magical users will be able to tell Nohir at a glance. Hill's status, and may have unintended consequences.

In order to prevent this from happening, Nohir chose to stay in the sewers to remotely control the tail. This was safe and private, and no one would disturb him. Although there have been rumors that there are some very dangerous creatures living in the sewers of Baldur's Gate. Monster, but Nohill believed that as long as he was not particularly unlucky, he should not encounter any danger in a short period of time.

"The little devils will absolutely obey the orders of their masters, so due to their duty as gatekeepers, they should not let their vision drop too low, which means they will not fly away from the commanding heights and should be safe on the ground. , but this safety is not absolute, so be careful.”

"Peek your head out of the hole first. If they don't react, you should be safe. Take a few quick glances at the terrain, and then rush directly to the house. If those guys move, I will remind you and return immediately. Just crawl into the hole, they can't get into such a small hole."

"Zhizhi, it sounds really safe. Okay, I'm going to get it!"

The tail cautiously poked its head out of the hole and carefully observed its surroundings. It discovered that the location it was in was actually in a stable.

This is a semi-enclosed stable, and Tails is slowly observing the environment inside through the hole.

The muddy ground was covered with weeds. Several wooden barrels were placed haphazardly next to the tail. There was a pitchfork directly in front of it. The tail carefully leaned out and took a few steps forward to continue observing. Then he saw four pack horses.

These horses should be the carriages used by the Vansample family for daily travel. It seems that the live animal restrictions in Baldur's Gate have become dispensable here in the upper city. At this time, the horses were quietly eating the fodder in front of them in the animal pen. The sun shone through the window behind the horses, and there was a wooden door that didn't look very strong right next to the window.

In addition to the horses right in front of it, there is a high platform made of stone to the left of the tail. Because the viewing angle is too low, even Nohir cannot determine what it is.

"It seems that there is no danger in this stable at the moment. Tails, let's search around and see if there are any additional findings."

Tails was very obedient, and after making sure there was no danger here, he started to investigate. At first, everything was normal, and he didn't find anything of value at all. However, when Tails approached the southwest corner of the stable, he accidentally discovered an additional Rat hole.

"Zhi, what is this?"

The tail got through the mouse hole, but it came out before it had gone very far, but it did not return to the ground.

The tail is surrounded by stone bricks. It is currently staying in the gap between the two stone bricks. It pokes its head out and looks down. Below is a hole of unknown depth. And relying on the senses connected with the beast's perception, Nohill noticed more details.

"A square well? No, whose well would be built in a stable? The environment here is so bad, would a duke's family drink the water drawn from here?"

"Besides, if this is really a well, it should be specially built for the horses in the stable. If that is the case, why is it sealed now?"

Although I don't know how deep the space below is, the top has been sealed tightly, not even a ray of sunlight can penetrate. If it weren't for the dark vision of the tail, Nohir couldn't even see clearly what was going on inside.

"There is a problem here, but you can't find anything by just looking at the tail. When we move at night, you can come here and take a look if you have time."

Nohir no longer thought about it and spoke directly to the tail with his thoughts.

"Don't worry about this for now. Just go outside. Be careful with your head and retreat at any time."

"Squeak, I understand."

Taiyi turned around and exited the passage and ran towards the door. This wooden door was really dilapidated. The door frame below had been bitten by insects and rats, and he could run out without even squeezing.

"Squeak, it seems that stupid cat can't do it. My companions almost occupied this place. These traces are proof of our glory!"
