Chapter 792 - 792 Too Many Secret Tunnels in the Island

792 Too Many Secret Tunnels in the Island

I waited for a few hours until the guards changed shift. It’s about time that they showed opening.

I think that because this city has never been attacked ever since the cult started residing in this city, no one taking the guard duty seriously. But they are still expert level mages and master level mages. So even if they seem relaxed, they can sense a bit of change in the surrounding.

If an uninvited guest suddenly appears, even if the guards seem to be relaxing, they would notice. At least the master level mage among the group will. And that mage will report it to the others.

And there are also almost no opening at all in the spots they are watching. Other than the opening to the prison.

The castle is big, so even if it’s in the center of the city, I can still see a part of it. And my Divine Vision is good enough to see up to the prison.

When I looked at it, even though it seems that the opening that lead to a trap to imprison trespasser is safe, there are some people near the path. Even if they are just expert level mages, if I enter that path, they could notice me. That’s why even if I can enter that place without having to worry about the trap, I could get surrounded. And I can’t use magic inside that prison.

Maybe I should also investigate if there’s something that block magic. Maybe it’s in the lab as well. Just like the cloning technology.

What if there’s no lab at all? What if they experimented it in the wild?

Well, that’s just stupid. Why would anyone experimenting something like cloning in the wild?

.....

I won’t get anything if I enter through the opening that the guards are showing openly. That’s why I waited until the shift ended.

I don’t know how long each shift is, but I know that it’s impossible for anyone to voluntarily be on guard duty the whole day. Even if they are master level mages who have lived for so long, they can still get bored.

When the shift is changing, there’s some other opening and I entered the city. Though I can only lower my body on the rooftop while having Spot to camouflage us so that we won’t be seen.

I can see more things inside the city. But why are there so many churches in one city when they all believed in the Evil God?

Unless it’s only one church for the believers to pray, while the others are where they conducted experiment. Let’s go there before checking the castle.

The first church I checked is filled with people. They are believers who prayed to the Evil God.

I guess this is a normal church. But let’s check carefully so I won’t miss a thing.

Normal believers, normal priests, and normal church activities. But there’s one abnormal priest or maybe some other position in the church. I don’t know. Everyone working in the church wears the same garb. I can’t tell if anyone is another Archbishop or not.

Anyway, that guy finished his job and left the church while people still goes there. I guess there’s no need for anyone to guard a church when everyone is living here happily.

Wait, does that mean I’m the bad guy? Well, I am indeed the bad guy. Should I tell the others about how they are living here peacefully?

I won’t. After all, everyone in the cult, whether they know it or not, are hoping for the destruction of the world. Even if it might seem that they are living happily, most of the people here are busy.

Not only because of their job. But they are also busy cultivating and even sparring with each other. They are preparing for a big war as well.

Having an entire population of believers, they don’t have to worry about breaking through to the next level. Everyone doesn’t care about other people. Just their own magic level. So there won’t be anyone disturbing someone who is trying to breaking through.

Or maybe they made a rule that those who are disturbing other people’s cultivation will be imprisoned. And that’s how those people got into prison under the castle.

Anyway, let’s talk about the guy who just left the church. He’s heading to the castle.

He’s still within my sight so I could see him in the castle. Though I have to be careful to not look at someone in the eyes.

That guy is not visiting. He’s living in the castle. Then there’s a hooker entering the castle and go to his room.

Maybe that hooker is also strong. So I won’t see her eyes. But she has such a high quality body. Still not as good as my girlfriends though.

A priest who is hiring a hooker. Though I can’t tell which one is stronger.

I waited for a while and there are no other priests who left the church and enter the castle. That guy is the only one. I guess he’s the one with the highest position in the church.

Anyway, the castle’s guards are just for show. The city alone is already well-protected. And anyone with ill-intention entering the castle won’t last long since there should be many master level mages there.

Though in my mind, everyone in this island have ill-intention. They are parts of the cult after all.

I guess I’m done with this church. Let’s go to the next one.

The next church, there are also people there praying. But it’s significantly lesser than the previous church.

There’s an underground tunnel leading somewhere. It’s quite deep so I have to be on the ground level to see where it goes. But for now, I’ll remember that church.

Now that I thought about it, there’s no need for the church to be the only one with a tunnel to the underground. I’ll also check as many place as possible to see if I can find more.

As expected. Several houses in the city have tunnels underneath. Doesn’t that mean that powerful magic from master level earth mage can destroy the whole city? One magic and everything above ground will sink.

But that’s only if all the tunnels are connected. I should have brought the earth spirit here and ask him to investigate by himself. He should be able to do that, right?

Well, I don’t think he wanted to leave that island. Maybe I will destroy that island completely.

Right now, I can already meet him by opening a portal to where I met him last. The tunnel that Angela and Kayla created.

It’s no longer connected to the sea. We have covered it. But there’s still a hole for a few people to enter. And when we’re there, the earth spirit said that he will notice right away and will greet us.

That’s for later. I need to continue checking the city.

Is there any empty house where I can enter the tunnel from? Maybe I should dig another tunnel directly from somewhere. But it would be easy to get noticed.

Even more if we start digging from the sea. That giant monster only showed its head and it’s already bigger than Spot. Just a bit of movement and that monster might be able to notice me.

What about in the previous island? What if that monster already noticed me and just now, that monster was reporting it to its master?

If that’s the case, then we have no other choice but to retreat. I have planted a lot of Blobbies on the three islands so we can raid them anytime we want. Even right now.

Well, seeing how the guy that talked to the monster returned back to the castle without doing anything, I guess it was not something that important. Maybe that monster asked for some sacrifice.

Whatever the case, it feels like we’re safe for now.

Anyway, I started checking on the other churches. There are few more where the believers are praying at. But the others are just there hiding something.

Oh, there’s an empty church. Let’s get in there and hide.

“Spot, that church is empty. And it has a tunnel leading underground. Let’s go there,” I said.

“Is it safe to go now?” Spot asked.

Since we have been in hiding for so long, Spot also started to get cautious. And he will only move when I said that it’s safe to go.

“Yes. Go right from above of the church and we will descend directly from there. If possible, I’d like to go underground,” I said.

We entered from a locked window. We just got Victoria to unlock the window so we can enter, then we locked it again.

We went down to the first floor and go to the tunnel leading down.

I can see more from here. And I see that the tunnel here is connected to most tunnels from other location.

Maybe the tunnel was created in the past back when the kingdom was still exist. It’s secret tunnel for the members of the royalty to escape in case of emergency. Just like the tunnels in Albert’s palace.

I can’t see anymore than this. Because if the people inside are master level mages, they would sense me looking at them.

This is why I must not investigate things from above. Just by looking down and I can see people in the eyes already.

Well, for now I’ll attach a Blobby somewhere in this church. And next is to... I guess I can’t enter yet. Someone is coming up from underground to this place. Let’s hide.
