Meirin quickly said: “There are only two places like this in the mountain, this one, which is behind the castle, and the other one is on the other side of the mountain. Their sizes are the same. Also, there are some small caverns and a few dozen tunnels.”
Zhao Hai nodded: “Are these caves linked? How deep are these tunnels? I think it is essential to build some barriers or we will not be able to breed rabbits here.”
Meirin replied: “Young master, don’t worry, these caves can be linked, after all it is a habit of dwarves, they carve tunnels out for mining, but to prevent collapses, they do not carve randomly. However, the deeper parts are flooded, so it is impossible to know how deep the passages go, so there is a dead end. Young master can use this foothold with confidence”
Zhao Hai nodded and said smiling: “Very well, let’s not think about the foothold on the other side of the mountain. This one is sufficient. Make some fences, although we can put the Blue-Eyed Rabbits in here and they won’t be able to run away, we still don’t want them to drown in the water”
Meirin nodded: “Be at ease, young master. I know how to do it. This place is not suited for young master. It is better for you to return.”
Zhao Hai said smiling: “Never mind, Grandma Meirin, you shouldn’t fuss or worry. I want to go take a look at the water gathered in the tunnels, to see if it is useable or not.”
Meirin nodded and said: “I will attend you, after all I am water mage, I will be useful to young master.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said: “Fine, there is not a lot of work to be done, it is not a hard effort, anyway take a stroll with me.”
Meirin followed him, BlockHead and RockHead were walking behind them. Whilst Meg stayed on the same place to watch over the slaves.
The four people rapidly walked through the tunnels. The way has a small downward slope. It seems like there were rail tracks running from the top, but they had already been removed. There only remains a brown rock paved road.
Walking through the downward slope for some hundreds meters, Zhao Hai finally saw something like an underground lake. It is the best name for something like this. The surface of the lake is enormous, even though there some light coming from the foothold, it can’t be seen entirely. You can only hear the sound of the waves.
