Chapter 268 Basement

After passing the test, Fang Tian and the two were taken to a guest room on the third floor. After the troll and Fang Tian spoke a few words in Orc language, they left the room.

The door was closed with a bang, and only Fang Tian and Chen Xiaohai were left in the room.

Chen Xiaohai leaned over and asked, "What did they say?"

"As the old man we met before said, the archmage Abbet has not returned yet. The troll told us to wait here first, and make detailed arrangements after Abbet sees us."

The first thing Chen Xiaohai thought about was food, "What about food? You can't make us all hungry, can you?"

"They didn't say anything." Fang Tian glanced at Chen Xiaohai and walked to the window.

Through the window, Fang Tian could clearly see the main road outside the orc fortress.

"It's ten o'clock now. If the information the old man gave us is correct, the orc transport troops will arrive here in one hour."

Chen Xiaohai made some calculations, and said, "It's almost time, why don't we start to act now? We'll still have time to come back for lunch."

"Ah."

Fang Tian nodded, walked to the door, listened for a moment with his ear to the door, then raised his head and continued, "There is no one outside."

Chen Xiaohai said: "Okay, then let's go, if we are found, we will say we got lost looking for the toilet."

"No, I think you made a mistake." Fang Tian tried to push the door of the room, and said, "The problem now is that the door is locked from the outside."

"What? It's locked?"

Chen Xiaohai blinked his eyes, he didn't expect that a seemingly awesome plan would actually have a problem in the first step, "So we're trapped?"

"Wait a minute, aren't you an assassin? Lockpicking should be your skill?"

Fang Tian shook his head. There was indeed a lockpicking item in the assassin training, but he didn't have any tools, so he didn't have a good way.

"It doesn't matter, we can't stay here forever. This task has a time limit. Let's go out first."

This kind of wooden door is actually not a problem for Fang Tian and the others. Chen Xiaohai stepped forward, took off the long sword behind his back, and just knocked lightly on the door lock, and the door lock fell down with a sound.

Probing his head out from the crack of the door, seeing that there were no orcs outside as Fang Tian said, Chen Xiaohai fought bravely, and quickly ran outside the door, waving at Fang Tian.

When the two left the room, Chen Xiaohai carefully closed the door, and looked at both ends of the corridor.

When Fang Tian came here before, he had clearly engraved the route in his mind, but he didn't know where to find Gatimla. It's not a good idea to run around in the orc fortress like this.

Chen Xiaohai also had a blank face, looked at the aisles on both sides, and asked: "Fang Tian, ​​what should we do next?"

Fang Tian recalled the situation when he came here before, while thinking: "The old man of the grocery store said that most of the things delivered were food and daily necessities. I think the orcs would probably store these things in the basement. A convenient place to store..."

"What a coincidence? I thought so too, let's go, let's go to the storage room." Chen Xiaohai said, taking the lead to walk forward.

"En." Fang Tian nodded, and continued: "There is still an hour, if not, we can try to catch two monsters with big ears and ask."

"Yes, yes, I thought so too."

Chen Xiaohai agreed, took two steps forward, and then suddenly stopped.

Fang Tian asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

"But we don't know the way to the basement..."

Fang Tian stepped forward, "Follow me."

"you know?"

Fang Tian shook his head, but did not answer.

Following two trolls around the orc fortress before, Fang Tian already had a rough composition of the layout of the castle in his mind. Although there is still a large blank in this composition, it is enough He analyzed the general structure of the fort.

There were no protective measures on the third floor where Fang Tian was located, and there were no orc guards on the way from the third floor to the second floor.

And the number of patrols on the second floor increased significantly.

Under Fang Tian's guidance, the two stopped and walked, successfully avoiding all the patrolling teams.

Although Chen Xiaohai, who followed behind, was laughing and joking on the surface, he was surprised in his heart.

Fang Tian knew a lot, and Chen Xiaohai felt more and more that he couldn't see through this young man. The young man in front of him seemed to be able to predict the coming of the orcs in advance, and he was able to avoid the patrols in advance every time.

How exactly did he do it?
There is also the terrain here, Fang Tian knows it like the palm of his hand as if he has been here hundreds of times, and he is also the first to come here, but he is already dizzy after only a few laps.

It can be imagined that if Fang Tian was not here, he would not know how to proceed with this mission from just now. Perhaps Chen Xiaohai would choose the most direct method, arresting two orcs for questioning, and then deal with them secretly. But in this way, the risk is also doubled.

What is the origin of this young man?Chen Xiaohai was full of doubts.

Returning to the first floor, Chen Xiaohai, after accompanying Fang Tianrao for a few laps, also found the entrance to the basement in a certain corner, a downward stair passage.

So far, Fang Tian has explored most of the terrain on the first floor inside the fortress.

Looking at the dark basement stairs, Chen Xiaohai scratched his head and said, "I don't know why, but every time I enter the basement, I feel a bad premonition."

Fang Tian glanced at Chen Xiaohai, didn't speak, and took the lead into the basement.

The two meandered down the stairs, and soon stepped into the bottom floor.

In fact, it can be seen from the construction level of the city wall that the construction level of the orcs is basically on the same level as that of humans, so the basement that Fang Tian and his two entered is also quite simple.

Through the light provided by the torches on both sides of the wall, the two walked carefully along the basement, trying not to make any noise.

Not long after, a flame appeared at the corner ahead, and two patrolling soldiers of the big-eared monster blocked the front.

Due to the light, the two could see the shadow of the big-eared monster, but the soldiers of the big-eared monster couldn't find Fang Tian and the two in the shadow.

Fang Tian stopped and said, "It's a monster with big ears."

"what should we do?"

Chen Xiaohai repeated this sentence over and over again. In fact, he had said this sentence many times along the way. He didn't like to use his brain. After seeing Fang Tian's unique ability, he preferred to ask this question directly. In a word, this can save unnecessary thinking time.

"Fix it." Fang Tian thought for a while, and added: "Quickly."
