"Don't borrow! You haven't paid me back the money you borrowed last time! "My cousin rejected me categorically.

"Don't be like this, if I really need money, I won't ask you to borrow it, at most you lend me money to do this ticket, and come back with interest?" I seduced my cousin and said.

"Don't borrow, don't borrow, just don't borrow!" The cousin shook his head violently.

“…… You don't want to think about how much I take care of you, cousin, I fed you when you were a picky eater, I helped you wash when you were a picky eater, you didn't know how to take a bath by yourself when you went to elementary school, and I gave you pocket money when you grew up to study in other places. Now are you going to refuse my request to cousin who is so good to you? "I started to threaten.

"But, damn it! I won't lend you money if I say it in front of others! "Telling my cousin about his childhood in front of the trio of officials and bandits seems to have the opposite effect.

“…… Really don't borrow? I asked darkly.

“…… Really, really don't borrow! "My cousin's heart is weak, but he still has to hold on to the end.

……

"Robbery! Help ......"

"Hum ~~~ The shadows and the box of the pit viper bar are well insulated...... Do you expect someone here to help you? I glanced at the trio next to me. The three shook their heads together.

"Hehe~~~ It's inconvenient for us to interfere in your housework, you can continue to do well." Yichen said with a smile. The other two nodded their heads.

Stepping the tall mage under my feet, I looked through his backpack, "What a little miser, almost all the money I earned last time was not spent, and it is not too heavy to carry so many gold coins on my body...... Don't worry, my cousin only takes 1000, well, 1500 gold coins is good, and it can be regarded as helping you reduce your burden......"

After completing my mission to rid the water trolls, I had a brilliant plan, but I didn't have enough funds, so I went to the Shadows and Pit Vipers Bar to borrow money from the trio. However, in order to cultivate the younger brother below, the trio spent almost all the money, so they had to ask the cousin who often mixes with the trio to borrow it, but he just refused to agree quickly, and finally forced me to use force.

My cousin forcibly borrowed 1,500 gold coins from me, and felt that I had suffered a big loss, so he pouted and angrily asked to participate in my plan.

"Okay, what level of riding skills are you?" I asked.

“…… Riding is not a mage's skill, I haven't ......learned it," my cousin said depressedly.

"But in my plan, the participants must have at least level 5 riding skills." Everyone shook their heads together. Not only the mage, but also the bounty hunter didn't learn to ride, after all, not everyone had as many skill points as me, and they spent their precious skill points on riding skills at level 3 or 4.

After saying goodbye to the crowd, I left the Shadows and Vipers Bar and prepared my plans alone.

At the market, he bought a lizard for 1,300 gold and a military saddle for the lizard for 60 gold.

This carnivorous lizard is a mount that can only be found in dark areas, and its appearance is quite similar to the largest lizard in the real world, the Komodo dragon lizard, with a body length of 5 meters, a shoulder height of 1.2 meters, a mouth full of sword-like teeth, a long, large and powerful tail, short and strong limbs, sharp claws, and sticky meat pads on its feet allow it to walk flexibly on walls even when carrying a weight of 270 kg.

Sitting on the back of a lizard, I was in high spirits, and now I am a car owner. Well, I also have to buy other supplies, dry food and water for the road, and meat feed for the riding lizards. There is also a very important item in my plan, although it is not a precious thing, but because it is not widely used in Demon Blade City, the stock of ordinary stores is not much, so I ran a few more stores to buy a full barrel.

I've been heading north since I left Demon Blade City. The road gradually became stranger, and in fact, all I knew about the place I was going was hearsay, and I could only rely on the rudimentary map in my hand to guide the way.

Entering the strange and dangerous underground world, it would have been safer for a few more people, but my whole plan was just an adventure, and I was not sure of it, so how could I affect others for it. The ride of the lizard is precisely due to its speed and ability to fly through walls to reduce the risk.

The lizard rode with easy, fast steps. Silently step on broken floors, walls, and even the ceilings of long tunnels.

Along the way, I've met several groups of kobolds, goblins, and gnolls, as well as dangerous petrified lizards, cocks, snakes, and dreadclaws. Luckily, every time I notice danger, I guess that just as 20+ intelligence gives me the ability to see through low-level illusions, 18+ perception allows me to perceive danger in advance. Coupled with the dark vision that the dark elves can see farthest in the dark realm, I can always spot each other in advance.

So, when I encountered all kinds of creatures that might have malicious intentions, I would avoid them in advance, or clamp my knees firmly in the saddle, and command the lizard to stick to the ceiling of the tunnel, walk silently with its fleshy pads, or find another way, but even then, I was still in an unavoidable tunnel, discovered by a group of dreadclaw, large monsters with vulture-like heads and body beetles, which are rumored to be the most fond of preying on dark elves. I don't know if the rumors are true or not, and I don't want to confirm them. As the dreadclaws scrambled to climb the wall and chase after them, I let the lizards run fast.

The lizard rode as fast as a galloping horse, and soon left the dreadclaw far behind, leaving their colony far behind.

It should be almost there, right? I looked at the map carefully, but the rudimentary pattern on the map made me unsure. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark shadow on the corner of the top of the tunnel not far away, which was slowly approaching.

It was a creature the size of a goblin. Gray speckled skin, arms and feet, fingers and toes, extremely elongated, looking as soft as bones. If you look closely, the palms of your hands and feet are covered with tiny spikes, and the movement looks strange but smooth.

I remember mentioning it in the Bestiary, it was a Lockthroat Monster.

In general, Lockthroats prefer to attack single prey that is no larger than a small size. It's not an opponent like me, who is heavily armed and bigger than it. It looks like it's an extremely hungry Lockthroat.

It's not a particularly tough monster, but I don't want to waste time on it, and I don't want to fight in a way that might be in danger of injury before I finish my plan.

I took the meat out of my backpack and threw it over, and the Lockthroat Monster nimbly caught it.

It looked at me suspiciously, hesitant to act.

"You help me, I'll give you food." I speak to it in the underworld language.

It looked at the food in its hand and asked in the underworld language, "How can I help?" "Yay! Sure enough, as stated in the Bestiary, the Lockthroat Monster speaks the lingua franca of the underworld, and is a monster that can bribe and communicate with food.

"I'm looking for a place, probably nearby. If you can tell me about the area nearby, I'll give you more food. I took out another portion of food and handed it to the Lockthroat.

Attracted by the food, the Lockthroat slowly walked over. Suddenly reach out and grab the food. So fast! When it snatches food, it is as quick as an eye-eyed snake. It's not that I didn't have time to react, it's that the food was meant to be given to it, so there's no need to dodge.

"Okay." The Lockthroat Monster agreed as he gobbled down his food.
