Chapter 102 - 26. Undead Witch
Fisher dragged the unconscious, corpulent Witch out of the tavern. Behind him, the thin sword in Alagina’s hand that exuded cold air had at some point disappeared from sight, which made Fisher very curious as to where she had hidden that relic.
Following them, the pirate first mate, rubbing his shoulder while looking ahead at Fisher, blinked a few times, his gaze shifting between Fisher and Alagina. He seemed to suddenly understand something and subtly stepped back some distance.
Although he still followed them, he and the other crew members, who had a meaningful smile, fell into two separate groups: Fisher and Alagina were close together upfront, and the chuckling first mate and other crewmen were farther behind.
"Chirp chirp!"
The streets near the tavern were slightly elevated, offering a view of the distant street lit by street lamps where a group of people could be seen hastily approaching. Fisher glanced at the huge pipes that extended from the main road up to the cave’s stone walls, crowded with numerous rats gesturing and chattering at them, clearly guiding the way.
Without hesitation, Fisher leapt toward the pipe, calling out to Alagina without looking back,
"Go this way."
Alagina nodded and turned back to signal the crew to follow, only to find them all mischievously blinking and waving at her, gesturing for her to go ahead.
"..."
She opened her mouth, momentarily at a loss, then hastened to catch up with Fisher. Ahead of him, a large group of rats ran ahead, looking back and leading the way into the complicated sewer system inside the cave.
