Chapter 531 The rat-throwing weapon
The sewers in the Academic City are no smaller than those in the Open City, and three or two carriages can run side by side in them without any problem.

But it is a sewer after all, and the smell is just as strong.

However, it is impossible to escape from the Academic City through the sewers. The management of sewers in the Academic City is also more stringent. This is because alchemists often pour waste liquid directly into the sewers, which causes some chemical reactions and may eventually cause more troublesome situations than simple explosions.

For example, a large amount of foam is generated to flood half of the city...

This really happened.

Therefore, the sewers in Kaimen City are not only equipped with automatic alarm devices and monitoring, but also with remote-controlled gates and area division systems. Once a problem occurs, the problematic area will be immediately isolated from the entire sewer system.

Because of this, the three of them saw the gate being slowly lowered after running two hundred meters, and had to climb up the ladder again.

The thick manhole cover was pushed open with a clang, and Zora was the first to jump out. She could already hear dense footsteps approaching them along the street corner.

The mercenary group has a lot of people, so it is more than enough to split up into several groups to chase them.

When the first mercenary's boots appeared at the corner of the street, Zora immediately raised the holy emblem:

"Blade Barrier!"

Countless glowing sword blades rose from the ground at the street corner, as densely packed as a large bush made of sword blades, blocking the alley tightly.

The mercenary running in the front was running too fast and had no time to slow down before crashing head-on, performing a literal meat grinder on the spot. His screams were only half audible, and then there was the dull sound of the sword tearing flesh apart.

Zora's piety is the same as Viola's, both of which are 100, so when giving her divine spells, you only need to consider whether she has enough magic power to use it. There are no other restrictions.

The result is that Li Chengxi added all the divine arts that Zora can use, and Zora's character panel is now closer to a priest than a warrior.

The blade barrier blocked the alley, giving Olde and Nimia time to climb out of the well. Afterwards, the three of them did not think about expanding their victory, but hurriedly ran down the alley.

The person leading the way was mainly Nimia. Although Olde could be considered a local, she would never come to such alleys normally and was not familiar with the routes in the academic city.

Nemia had lived in the streets and alleys of the academic city since childhood, and entering the intricate alleys was like returning home.

However, it was not so easy to get rid of the mercenaries. The three of them ran all the way, and although they were never caught up, the heavy footsteps of the mercenaries would appear behind them or nearby from time to time, indicating that they were still chasing them closely.

If you want to leave the academic city as quickly as possible, it is impossible to just walk through the alleys. You still have to go back to the main road. Besides, the mercenaries shouldn't dare to act rashly in public... right?

Aurday felt it was unreliable, but there was no other way. After the transmission was blocked, she could only go back to the main road and run towards the city gate.

The three of them quickly walked through the alley and saw a huge building that looked like an opera house appear before them.

This is the conference hall of the academic city. Any new academic discoveries will be made public here. Previously, Alde also announced here that he had discovered the technology of synthesizing nylon from petroleum. This is also the building that Alde is most familiar with besides his own villa.

As soon as they rushed out of the alley, they saw the door of the conference hall opened. Many guys dressed as scholars walked out with red faces, discussing something with people around them as they walked.

Why are these nerds gathered together so early in the morning?
Seeing this, Ordai clapped his hands:

"Oh yeah, today is the day of the Spring Seminar. I forgot about that."

Academic City holds two seminars every year to publish research results. Any expert or scholar registered with Academic City can apply, with no limit on the number of people.

As a result, seminars are likely to go overtime every time, and it is not uncommon for them to run all night long.

The last time Aldea announced petroleum-synthesized nylon was at the autumn seminar. "Let's go."

This move of Orday was not very elegant. He took advantage of a large number of scholars coming out of the conference hall and sneaked in to disrupt the mercenaries' tracking.

The effect is indeed good, but if the mercenaries are a little impulsive, they might cause big trouble.

Of course, this possibility is still very low.

The academic city is very free. You can do whatever you want as long as it does not endanger others. Even if it is something that is strictly prohibited to be studied in other places, you can get approval here and even get funding.

But if a group of mercenaries started killing these helpless scholars, do you think the academic city would be in chaos?

The three of them used this group of scholars as a shield, and the mercenaries could only stare at them and did not dare to get close at all.

The result was indeed as it happened. The mercenaries who were chasing after them were dumbfounded when they saw a large number of scholars walking out of the conference hall.

They kill and burn people outside the Academic City, and the Academic City certainly has no control over it. But here, if you dare to touch my scholars, not only will I destroy your household registration book, I will also dig up your ancestral graves.

"Don't look around. Stay calm."

Olday comforted the still somewhat panicked Nimya. For this tiefling who had been a pickpocket to make a living since childhood, the academic atmosphere around him was so strong that he felt that his IQ had improved a little.

"Miss Olday, we can't get out of the city with these scholars."

"I know. I'm looking for an opportunity too."

These scholars just came out of the hall and happened to bump into the three people. The mercenaries who sneaked in at this time would definitely not dare to move, but the scholars are now preparing to go back to their homes and will disperse soon.

Alday is also well aware of this and is looking for an opportunity to get rid of the mercenaries.

"Olde!"

Just at this moment, a voice came from the left rear. The other party was not shy at all and happily patted Oldie on the shoulder.

The first thing you see is a hand that resembles a bird's claw. Her forearm is even covered with a layer of fine hair, while her upper arm has wings similar to those of a crow.

"I haven't seen you in the Academic City for a long time. Are you here to attend the spring seminar?"

Fortunately, her face does not have a bird's beak, and she looks like a beautiful woman. However, looking at her lower body, her legs are completely shaped like a bird of prey.

"Ivan, be gentle..."

The action of patting Alday on the shoulder almost knocked her to the ground.

"Sorry, sorry. I thought you had grown stronger recently. How are you? Are you done?"

This Ivan is an archaeologist who has a good relationship with Orday, and he is also the one who sent the letter to Orday by sending the servant Nix. (See Chapter 336 for details)
"Ms. Alday, this is..."

"One of my friends, even though she looks like a harpy, she is actually a hybrid of a demon and a fey creature."

Zora and Nimia were not surprised that Ivan was mixed-race, but they were surprised that Oldie actually had friends.

Logically speaking, how can she have friends when she is like that and doesn't care about anything else when she comes across something that interests her?
