I'll forge a new destiny

Chapter 52 In the real downtown area

If you think about it more carefully, Tucci may be a little dangerous next.

After all, whether he comes to the sewers or not, he has already dealt with so many people, and these people will definitely not mind killing one more.

‘It’s really hard to restrain yourself like this~’

Under the cover of the current, Zhang Xing lowered his gaze as he looked at the five people working behind the 'island' in front.

Most of his understanding of awakened people comes from himself, although it is certain that most awakened people are unlikely to be like him, and these people are probably only at the bottom and will not have such keen perceptions.

But who made his murderous intention a little obvious now, and now he has entered the real downtown area. It's not good to be too far away, in the end this is the only way.

The underground of Port Eris was much more interesting than he imagined. Even Tucci once said that not only him, but everyone who lived in the sewers had the idea or experience of trying to go here.

But forget about the sewers, it can't be all water. But as a flooded area, how can it become part of the drainage system and still be accessible for people to explore?

These things cannot be clearly stated on the map. After all, Zhang Xing can know that this road can be walked, but he cannot know why it can be walked until he sees it with his own eyes.

Zhang Xing knew it while following those men in black robes.

To be honest, this journey is very interesting, much better than any underwater paradise or theme park.

The waterproofing properties of those submerged buildings have been fully justified. Many of them were the result of the first-generation Mellann, which had extraordinary resistance to seawater.

Not only are they eroding seawater, they can even push away seawater spontaneously. Together with those unique structures, they form many compartments that fish cannot enter. I don’t know how the air is kept fresh. Can the building breathe?
  Tuqi was able to discover this place with an indescribable luck - Zhang Xing followed those people through several small waterfalls in order to reach this real downtown area.

The unique waterfall based on the terrain here even swims in the water for a short distance.

Those waterfalls serve as a unique cover in this truly downtown area. Coupled with the peculiar terrain and environment, as well as the isolated island that retains air, it has become the best cover for everyone who comes here.

In the slightly turbulent sea tides, these small islands are the best isolation layer.

Even people like Zhang Xing must handle this situation carefully.

Whether it was to avoid being discovered or not to damage this unique natural scene, he had to be cautious.

‘Who knows if this place will collapse after I move the sea water. ’

Most likely not, but Zhang Xing didn't dare to gamble.

He didn't come here to tear down the house, he just wanted to touch a treasure and there was no need to make such a big fuss.

This also makes it difficult for Zhang Xing to stay too far away. Once the distance is too far, if something happens that requires him to get close, even Zhang Xing may not be able to react, and even if he reacts, it may be too late.

He didn't even dare to take the risk of touching the sea water a little, and Zhang Xing was even less likely to take such a risk. After all, he couldn't even react to Charles' attack, so it was better not to make it too difficult for himself.

It's a pity that Zhang Xing's caution did not have any effect. Since he followed the black-robed people here, there has been no conversation between them, and they are just minding their own business.

But not hearing it doesn't mean there is no new news.

This section of road has been cleaned up so well, and so much effort has been spent on getting here, and now I am still busy...

To say it was a simple inspection, Zhang Xing couldn't believe it even if he thought about it.

‘Before the combination, these people were preparing something, and now this thing is part of it. ’

It’s even an important part!

Although the people working in front and behind seemed to be cannon fodder, Zhang Xing knew very well that in the special environment of Eris Port, the gap between cannon fodder and masters was actually meaningless.     As long as things can be done, loyalty is more important.

So to judge whether something is important, just look at the effect - in Tucci's description, although the mark in his memory is not very tattered, it is indeed very old and looks like new now.

The newly arrived Zhang Xing can already tell that this thing is definitely not a mark, but a badge.

A huge emblem mounted on the top of a large building.

The place where they are now was probably a landmark in the port of Eris before being flooded by that accident.

‘When I go back, I have to look up the history of that time. At least I have to know what was flooded at that time. ’

With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhang Xing's eyes fell on the badge.

Except for being a little bigger, this thing now looks exactly like the fire-paint emblem on the secret letter.

The men in black robes are restoring it, and may even plan to strip it from the building.

Zhang Xing's senses could clearly sense that the link, led by the black-robed leader, was covering the badge with a kind of power. As the auras of the five people gradually faded, the aura of the badge became more active.

Flicking his fingers, Zhang Xing was thinking about whether to touch the prize for a while - his luck seemed to have run out, and there was nothing that could trigger the node of destiny along the way.

But this one certainly does.

I just don’t know if the repair needs to be completed or if it can be done at any time.

Anyway, as long as it is in his hands and no one else can get it, then the fate will definitely change.

Unless this thing is of no use at all, it is just a bait to attract people's attention. As long as someone touches it or takes it away, it will alert someone.

Considering that the people working in front of me are all cannon fodder, it is not impossible.

But no matter what the situation is, whether it's a trap or a treasure chest waiting to be opened, this thing definitely doesn't have an owner now.

His eyes swept over the edge of the badge, which had not yet been repaired to its shape, which meant that the badge had not yet been able to break away from the building. That means that the ownership of this thing should not have been decided yet.

Unless this entire building has an owner, and this sovereignty continues to this day. Otherwise, no matter what it is, as long as Zhang Xing can touch it, he will know whether it is good or bad.

‘Even if it’s a trap, it can’t just be a bait. If nothing else, just use it to seduce and see if anyone is interested, right? ’

That's too damn troublesome. Why waste so much effort just to catch a stalker who doesn't know if he's coming?
  That’s not how money is made, is it?

Zhang Xing shook his head to dispel the impossible conjecture.

Then he couldn't help but look at the extremely conspicuous black robes of these people - at least during this period, with the joint efforts of the Mellann family and even the entire Eris Port ruling class, the extremely conspicuous black robes .

And then, after calculating my luck, I can only say that it is good or not bad. I even insist that even if it is good, the torrent of fate will definitely not like my luck very much.

Then think about it carefully, what if it is not just a bait, but it is indeed useful, but you only occasionally fish with two rods?
  Then take a closer look and see the somewhat distinctive aura that appears at the edge of perception.

'It can't be such a coincidence...'

At the end, Zhang Xing began to sweat on his forehead.
