Chapter 32: Into the Tiger's Den

"Amira, scared!" In the darkness came the voice of a dwarven maiden crying.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" With Ronin's soft reassurance, a soft glow slowly lit up in the darkness, and it was the mage who used illumination magic to light up the ruby at the tip of the staff.

Although the two inadvertently broke away from the group, fortunately they fell into the pit just now and were not injured. Seeing that the light was on, Amira let go of Ronin's thigh and muttered in a low voice.

Luo Ning took advantage of the light at the top of the staff to carefully examine his surroundings. They found that they had fallen into another secret passage, which was much narrower than the one above, probably only allowing three people to walk in parallel, and the top was also very low, less than two meters high.

If the secret passage above is used by the dwarves to transport the treasure vault deposits, then the secret passage here is a bit of a misunderstanding. At the very least, it was not convenient to transport the ore, and Ronin privately guessed that it was for the dwarven high-level to evacuate in case of crisis.

The two of them walked up the secret passage step by step, this secret passage has a very steep slope, Luo Ning estimated that if they went on like this, when they went out, it would definitely be higher than the location of the treasure house where Xu Mo and the others were.

The two of them crawled breathlessly for a long time, and finally reached the top of the dark passage before they were exhausted, and a mechanism that was exactly the same as the previous copper ring appeared in front of them.

This time, Luo Ning didn't dare to open the secret door rashly anymore, frowned and thought for a while, the mage decided to cast a detection magic first, to detect what was on the other side of the secret door, and then decide whether to go out or not.

The result of detecting the magic surprised Luo Ning a little, because behind the secret door was actually a wine cellar, not the residence of some imaginary big man.

In fact, the dwarves are a race of martial arts by nature, and when it comes to defending against foreign invasions, the higher the status of the dwarves will resist at the forefront and will not leave their tribe and flee alone. The most important treasure for the dwarves is, of course, precious ore, and in addition to wine, even food is in third place.

After opening the secret door and going out, Luo Ning observed the wine cellar, which actually contained many wine barrels. Luo Ning opened a barrel and tasted it, only to find that it was not the ale wine and high wine that dwarves are used to drinking, but a sweet and sour low-alcohol wine, with a fruity taste.

Luo Ning shrugged his shoulders, it seemed that this was the wine brewed by the orcs themselves, and he smacked his lips carefully, the mage, who usually doesn't drink too much, actually felt a little like the taste of this wine. With a roll of his eyes, Luo Ning took out his dirty space bag and filled it with two buckets.

"Amira, don't!" Luo Ning, who was in order, let out an exclamation as soon as he turned around, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Amira, it turned out that the dwarf girl was idle and bored, and was about to open the door of the wine cellar.

After a moment of silence, the mage was relieved to find that there was no other movement outside the door. Although Luo Ning looks dumbfounded, it doesn't mean that he is really a nerd, on the contrary, the wisdom of the mage is not low, but he is usually obsessed with magic research, and he is ignorant about combat tasks and has no experience.

When Xu Mo and the others were by his side, he was even more lazy to consider the details of the task, and was used to relying on other companions. Now that only he and Amira are left, the mage's powerful talent has finally begun to awaken and take on the responsibility of protecting his companions.

Ronin quietly opened the door of the cellar and cast a detection magic spell out of the door, and after finding that there was no one outside, he walked out of the cellar with Amira.

As soon as he stepped out of the cellar, the mage was immediately struck by the grandeur of Grimbaatar. Amira looked at Ronin's sluggish appearance and pursed her lips, reaffirming that this big companion needed more care than herself.

Just as Ronin was shocked by the spectacular cityscape of Grimbaatar, the mage was awakened by the sound of unusual footsteps in the distance, and Ronin quickly pulled Amira back into the cellar.

However, to the mage's horror, the footsteps actually came straight towards the wine cellar, and Ronin quickly pulled Amira to hide behind the wine barrel. After a while, two tall orcs, with hides around their waists and maces in their hands, entered the cellar.

The dwarf's wine cellar area is quite large, but the height is very short, Luo Ning can stand up straight, but the height of these two orcs is more than two meters, and after entering the wine cellar, they can only bend down to carry the wine barrel.

Looking at the two orcs, Luo Ning's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of a good idea, so he immediately lowered his head and quietly instructed Amira, and then erected his staff. The ruby at the tip of the staff lit up, and a soft light enveloped the two orcs.

Soon, the orc guards on duty in the corridor on this floor were surprised to find that the two companions who had just gone to the cellar to carry wine appeared in the corridor with two "captives". The orc guards looked at the two "captives" with interest, they hadn't seen any other race in Grimbaatar for a long time.

The gaze of the many orcs made Luo Ning a little frightened, but soon this emotion was thrown out of the clouds by him, and he began to be proud of his brilliant idea.

Of course, these two orcs didn't really catch him and Amira, and the magic that Luo Ning cast at the beginning was a magic that confused the mind, although it could not completely control the two orcs, but it could hypnotize the two orcs for a short time, so that they could really catch the two spies for themselves and forget the process of capture.

Ronin instilled a command in the subconscious of the two orcs to take them to the room of the orc leader Neocruz. In Ronin's opinion, now that he has entered Grimbaatar, there are only two places to choose. One is the prison where the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasa is kept, and the other is the residence of Necrus.

Compared to the prison of the Red Dragon Queen, Ronin thinks that it is more important to find Necruz first, after all, without the "Demon Soul", even if he finds Alexstasa, there is no way to free her.

The mage's plan was simple and crude, and it fit the current situation perfectly. Luo Ning knew that he didn't have as much combat experience as the Stalker, so naturally he couldn't formulate a thorough and reasonable battle plan, so going straight to the Demon Cave was the only option he could think of.

The plan basically ignored Necrus' combat prowess and the fact that they were in an orc-dense area, but for Ronin, it was the best he could think of.

Maybe Luo Ning's protagonist template is powerful again, or maybe history has returned to its original trajectory after turning a corner. Ronin, who had no one to help, took Amira all the way to Ne Cruise's residence unimpeded.

"Stop!" There are two orc guards with big shoulders and round waists in front of the big boss's residence, these two guys are no better than the cellar guards who were confused by Luo Ning, their whole bodies are covered with steel plate armor, and only a pair of shining eyes are revealed between the gaps in the helmet.

These two orcs belong to Necruz's personal guards, and they are not only taller than the orcs escorting Ronin, but also have high martial skills. The two orcs who escorted Ronin and Amira heard the scolding of the two, and they couldn't help but shrink their necks, and immediately retreated.

Fortunately, the command that Luo Ning implanted in their subconscious was very powerful, and the two orcs still made their intentions clear in a whisper. Necruz's two elite guards heard that Grimbaatar had infiltrated the spies, but they didn't slack off on the shocking news.

They themselves are Necruz's henchmen, so they naturally know that the leader Necruz is distressed by the message of Deathwing from the front, and has decided to move the Red Dragon Queen and Dragon Egg to the safer north after dawn.

If there is also human and dwarf spies infiltrating Grimbaatar, then it really shows that the situation is serious and needs to be taken more seriously.

"The chief is not here now, you take them to the prison first, and I will inform the chief!" The two guards exchanged words in a low voice, and finally decided to separate one to inform Ne Cruise.

Although the two escorted orcs subconsciously resisted, they still did not dare to disobey the orders of the leader's personal guards, and planned to lock Ronin and Amira in a cell and leave.

"Woooooo At this moment, Amira fell to the ground in pain, clutching her stomach and rolling, leaving the two orcs at a loss for a moment.

"Humph!" The heavily armed orc guard snorted coldly, put down the battle axe in his hand, walked in front of Amira, bent down and was about to lift the dwarf girl, but suddenly felt a strong light appear in front of him, and immediately covered his mask in pain and howled.

Luo Ning, who was originally bound with his hands, didn't know when he had broken free, and was holding his staff and chanting magic spells. The "blindness" was one of the three spells he had stored in his staff, and now he was chanting another attack spell.

"Bang!" A succession of magic arrows exploded on the three scurrying orcs, and the attack power of these qi magic arrows was not very strong, and the orcs were also very good at resisting blows. In a short period of time, Luo Ning really couldn't deal with the three orc guards, and among them, the elite orc with full plate armor was the most difficult target to deal with.

However, Ronin's goal was not to kill the three orcs with magical air arrows, and the terrain of Grimbaatar's city helped him a lot. The three orcs, who were briefly blinded by the bright light, fell down the stairs with their hands dancing under the blow of the magic arrow, screaming and falling from the height of Grimbaatar.

"Amira, hurry up!" Luo Ning wiped the cold sweat from his head and beckoned to the dwarf girl lying on the ground pretending to have a stomachache.

"Amira, I'm hungry!" The dwarf girl didn't get up, she was still lying on the ground with her stomach in her arms, looking at Luo Ning with tears in her eyes.

Thinking of Amira's usual appearance of eating and drinking, Luo Ning suddenly realized, it turned out that the dwarf girl pretended to have a stomachache just now, and pretended to be so similar, most of them were not pretending, they were hungry!

"There was something delicious in the room!" Thinking of this, the mage immediately pointed to Necruz's room with a smile and said.

"Wow!" The dwarf girl's eyes lit up, she rolled over on the ground, and stood up like a ball. This agile action, if it falls in the eyes of the master of national arts, he will definitely give a thumbs up, praise it, and turn over with a harrier!

Fearing that there would be an arcane mechanism in Necruz's room, Ronin used magic detection before entering the door, and then pushed the door in.
