Old Patton, who led the way in front, did not hesitate at all, and led directly to the largest tent, which was the current council hall of the Minotaur clan.

Dio, who was following behind, was pulling Asterius while ignoring the minotaurs who were staring at him, and began to carefully observe the place where the demon lived.

The more I looked, the more Dio felt that something was wrong here.

The strangest thing is that there are so few old and weak women and children here.

The Minotaur clan is also a race that can be called a soldier for all people, even if it is still a young young Minotaur, it is not something that ordinary people can deal with, let alone those female Minotaurs who have matured. Therefore, even the old and weak women and children of the Minotaur clan definitely have enough self-preservation power in this underground world.

However, in this nominally residential area belonging to the Minotaur clan, there are not many old and weak women and children of the Minotaur clan. Except for those minotaur warriors who have reached adulthood, the rest are warriors of other races, such as the soldiers of the sheep-headed clan and the like.

In addition, the relationship between the soldiers of these other races and the warriors of the Minotaur clan is obviously not very harmonious. On the way to the council hall, Dio saw three gang fights. Moreover, these three group fights were all soldiers of other races besieging the warriors of the Minotaur clan.

Some are many-to-one, while others are many-to-many. However, the minotaurs, who were nominally the owners of the settlement, were beaten by soldiers of other races in their own residence. And the senior leaders of the Minotaur clan such as Old Patton, who also saw this scene, didn't care at all!

This obviously doesn't make much sense.

Unfortunately, there are still too few clues. Dio, who witnessed all this, really couldn't deduce anything from these situations, but subconsciously felt that this place of residence looked more like a barracks, and it was also the kind of barracks where the ** people who were not very disciplined lived.

Or more accurately, it's more like a ...... An overly tough refugee camp?

Thinking of this, Dio touched his chin thoughtfully.

At this moment, the group finally walked outside the conference hall.

Seeing the arrival of Old Barton and the others, the two minotaur guards guarding outside the conference hall immediately opened the door curtain and respectfully watched Old Barton and the others walk into it. Although they were a little puzzled by Dio and Asterius, who were mixed in the team, the two minotaur guards did not make any special moves, and only expressed their doubts to the tower as the leader with their eyes.

Noticing this, the tower waved his hand, and the two minotaur guards nodded slightly, and then stopped paying attention to Dio and Asterius.

After the elder Barton, Dio, and Asterius entered the tent one after another, the tower did not rush into it, but stood at the door and nodded.

"Buck, Sharna, you two can go in with me, and the rest of us will disperse." After reaching out and pointing at his two subordinates, Ta said very casually.

Tower's words immediately caused a commotion. The warriors of the Minotaur clan who came with them looked at the tower with dissatisfaction, and they had the momentum to ask the tower master for their guilt.

At this, the tower just straightened his back, and then glared at the minotaur warriors in turn.

Being glared at by the tower, these warriors of the Minotaur clan reacted, and the tower was their leader. Although the tower is indeed a little younger, the people who can become the leader are all strong people who have defeated the invincible opponents in the clan, and the tower is naturally no exception.

In other words, all of the warriors of the Minotaur clan present have been beaten by the tower!

Although there are still injuries on the current tower, but being stared at by the tower, these minotaurs all recalled the fear when they were oppressed by the tower, and they all suddenly felt relieved.

Seeing that the minotaur warriors had obediently left, Ta nodded a little smugly, and then walked into the tent with Buck and Sharna.

In fact, as a weak chicken, the succubus general Sharna didn't want to participate in such a major event, but because of her past performance and the credit for saving the injured tower before, the tower successfully remembered her. So, Tata, who already regarded her and Buck as confidants, was naturally ready to take them to meet the world, so he took the opportunity to order Sharna and Buck's generals.

The boss had an order, and no matter how unwilling Sharna was in her heart, she could only force a smile and follow the tower into the big tent with Buck.

As a result, as soon as they entered the big tent, Sharna and the others found that the atmosphere inside was not quite right, and everyone's eyes were on ...... Asterius, who was being pressed against a chair by Dio.

Because the seats in this council hall are arranged according to the size of the Minotaur clan, these tables and chairs are a bit too large for Dio and Asterius. However, Dio's situation is okay, he has seen all kinds of customs and customs with Aisha, and he is used to this kind of problem caused by racial differences.

So after Old Barton signaled where his seat was, Dio sat down calmly in the chair, which was a little too big for him.

That bearing, so that the old Barton, who had always looked at him not very pleasantly, couldn't help but nod secretly.

But when it came to Asterios, something went wrong.

Asterius, who had long been accustomed to sitting on the ground in that labyrinth, was ready to sit directly on the floor next to Dio's chair without thinking about it, and such a scene suddenly made old Barton, who knew his general identity, widen his eyes.

Fortunately, Dio grabbed Asterius in time, otherwise, if Asterius was really allowed to sit directly on the ground next to Dio as a servant or even lower, Old Barton would probably be mad.

In any case, Asterius is the nominal ancestor of the Minotaur clan, but if the ancestors of their family are just Dio's servants, then where will the Minotaur clan's face go?

Maybe it's the old Barton, who has always been moody, but this time it's too obvious. The elders of the Minotaur clan who were able to stay in the council hall were all bull spirits, and naturally they could see from Old Barton's expression that the identity of Asterios was different, so the Minotaur elders present subconsciously turned their eyes to Asterios, and there was the scene that Ta and the others witnessed when they entered the big tent.

After all the efforts were wasted, Dio had the best words to make Asterius sit in his seat obediently, and then the atmosphere in the whole council hall was relaxed.

For some reason, the tower arranged seats for Buck and Sharna, and then sat straight on the main seat.

But before he could speak, Asterius was mothed again.

"Dio! If I sit on top of this thing, the axe won't be easy to put away, so what am I going to do? ”

Asterius, with the Abyssal Axe on his back, writhed around in his seat, but he couldn't get used to it. In desperation, he could only choose to take the double-edged axe that was a little in the way in his hand, and then asked Dio with a distressed face.

"Remember when we first met, didn't you casually throw that axe on the ground? You can just find a convenient place to put it first. ”

Dio, who didn't take it seriously, replied casually.

"That's right."

Subconsciously blinked, and Asterius, who felt that Dio had a point, immediately put it down, ready to throw his axe next to his seat.

Just as the minotaur guards waiting in the council hall touched the horns on their heads and were about to help the guests put away their weapons, the abyss double-edged axe that landed on the ground caused a great stir.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the giant double-edged axe that landed on the ground shook the entire ground. The shaking was so violent that even the minotaurs present were a little suspicious of whether it had just been an earthquake. However, after witnessing the abyss double-edged axe falling to the ground and smashing a pit directly into the ground, they knew very well that it was really not an earthquake, but just that someone's weapon had fallen to the ground.

Of course, this conclusion is more unbelievable than the actual earthquake just now, and the minotaurs present are in disbelief.

Such a casual release can cause the ground to shake, so how much will this seemingly ordinary giant double-edged axe weigh?

While similar thoughts flashed through his mind, the Minotaur guard, who was just about to help the guests put away their weapons, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva subconsciously, and secretly congratulated himself that he hadn't had time to leave.

Thinking on his knees, this minotaur guard also knew that a weapon of this weight was definitely not something that a small guard like him could handle. And if he stupidly ran to help the guests get weapons, but he couldn't hold the giant axe despite all his efforts, then he would probably not be qualified to live if he lost the face of the Minotaur clan.

So at this moment, the heart of this minotaur guard couldn't help but be filled with the joy of the rest of his life.

The elders of the Minotaur clan, who had also witnessed that scene, had completely different ideas.

Because of the cunning neighbors of the devil clan, the one who can become an elder is either a very strong master, or a wise man with extraordinary wisdom, or even both.

Unfortunately, the elders who had been left in the hall by Tower and Old Barton, instead of following them to besiege Dio, were all the latter. And as smart cows, they naturally think a little too much.

Surprised by the weight of Asterius' double-edged axe, these elders, who did not know the identity of Asterius, subconsciously thought that this could be a provocation from the enemy?

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that their thoughts were right, and suddenly they showed a little hostility towards Astherios.

Of course, this hostility is only a little bit. And even this little bit of hostility was deliberately revealed by these scheming elders.

But these elders didn't know that the clear-minded Asterius might be a little dull in other ways, but in terms of confirming whether others were hostile, Asterius, who had stayed in the labyrinth for so long, could be called experienced.

Almost as the elders showed the slightest hint of hostility, Asterius' eyes suddenly changed. He was a little nervous, and he exuded a strong fighting spirit without hesitation, and at the same time, he subconsciously wanted to pick up his tomahawk and then protect his friends.

The problem is that the strength of these elders here is actually not very good, and the fighting spirit unleashed by Asterios is a little too strong.

Although he had lost the breathtaking killing intent and bloody smell, the battle intent released by Asterius, whose heart was as clear as a child, was so pure that the minotaurs present felt the feeling of depression that Dio was bearing when facing the "Minotaur".

This may also be a powerful explanation for the phrase "different paths to the same end".

Wanting to endure this feeling of being a little too strong and depressed was a bit too difficult for the elders of these Minotaur clans who were not proud of their strength.

However, just when these elders couldn't support it, Dio, the only one who didn't feel this sense of oppression, saw that something was wrong, and took the initiative to pat Asterius's arm: "Take it easy, they are not our enemies, at least not yet." ”

"Really?"

Despite the doubts written on his face, after hearing Dio's words, Asterius put away his fighting spirit and put the double-edged axe he had picked up back on the ground again. However, this time, Asterius obviously paid special attention to his strength, and under the "gentle handling", the abyss double-edged axe that landed again did not make much noise.

In fact, Asterius, who has been at home for too long, is a bit stupid, but he is definitely not stupid. Since the previous movement caused by the landing of the Abyss Double-Bladed Axe, all kinds of changes have been seen by Asterius. vaguely understood that he had made such a big move, and he was not good, so he immediately made corrections.

However, his performance made the hearts of the elders of the Minotaur clan become a little mixed. These elders, who did not know Asterius' past, naturally determined that Asterius' previous behavior was indeed a deliberate provocation.

Because judging by his current performance, Asterius clearly understands these etiquette.

But it turns out that people do have enough strength to make such provocative acts! Therefore, the elders of these minotaur clans, who couldn't bear that sense of oppression, suddenly became very honest.

In this world, after all, there is still a saying that "a big fist is the last word".

After seeing the change in the expressions of the elders, sitting on the main seat and enduring the Minotaur Leader Tower with these elders, his mood suddenly became very complicated.
