Chapter 132: The Second Prince's Clue!
The human soldier was not killed on the spot, not because of Fan Kang's kindness. Of course, it is even more unlikely that he was infected by his "humor".
As he himself said, he was just a lowly guard. With his identity, he naturally has no access to the secrets in the monster base.
Fan Kang's best choice is to hold a high-ranking officer hostage.
And this officer's status can't be too low, otherwise he won't get the information Fan Kang wants, and it's just a waste of time.
Conversely, if the officer's status is too high, then the protection force is bound to be tight. If you want to control the situation, it must be difficult. After all, with Fan Kang's current injury, it is really not suitable for too fierce fighting.
What's more, there is no time left for the Minotaur to summon, and Fan Kang really can't afford it.
Fan Kang is now not only fighting the guards of the base, but also fighting against time!
Therefore, in the chaotic base, a qualified guide is crucial.
Fortunately, this soldier, who had seen Fan Kang's murderous methods, was also very knowledgeable, guiding Fan Kang along the way, and did not dare to deliberately take a long detour.
Just kidding, when this thing cut off one of his arms, his eyelids didn't even blink, how dare the soldier provoke him?
The most important thing is that this minotaur seems to have a very high intelligence, and if it deliberately takes a long detour, it is very likely to be recognized. Soldiers don't dare to joke with their lives.
Along the way, Fan Kang observed the route he had taken, and at the same time interrogated the soldiers with some relatively ordinary information, which can be regarded as a further understanding of this monster base.
Among them, Fan Kang learned from the soldiers that each of the three monster research rooms has a project leader. They don't have any force, they are equivalent to scientific researchers and the like.
Many people know that some scholars who concentrate on scientific research will have more or less strange personalities. For example, rejecting high-decibel sounds, hating crowded places, or liking to work alone......
It stands to reason that the backbone of these monster research projects is a valuable resource for the base. Most of the defenders will be heavily guarded to prevent them from being surprised. This is really not good news for Fan Kang.
Coincidentally, one of the heads of the three labs named Hammerson is a true tech freak. As long as there is an academic project that can arouse his interest, even if others do not invite him, he will take the initiative to ask to join.
It is said that Hammerson was originally a scholar of the royal family's pivotal status. But after receiving Jorins' secret invitation, he left ** quietly, abandoning his noble identity and dazzling honor, and plunged headlong into this monster research base, and disappeared from the eyes of the world.
According to the soldier who was held hostage by Fan Kang, there is also an example circulating in the base that illustrates the extent of Hammerson's obsession with academic research:
When Hammerson was young, he spent most of his time thinking about academic research. So much so that once when he came home, he saw a naked strange man lying on his bed, and he actually calmly said, "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong house", and then turned to leave. He didn't even notice who the woman who was lying on the bed in horror was.
This was true of Hammerson in his youth, and even more so now.
Once this little old man with a strong thirst for knowledge got to work, he couldn't care about anything, and his eyes couldn't accommodate anything other than research materials and experimental data.
Especially when it comes to work, Hammerson is most taboo about being disturbed. On one occasion, disturbed by the sound of guards walking back and forth outside the door, the little old man ran to the base commander in a fit of rage and made a big noise.
Since then, Hammer has spawned the only confidential person who is not protected by guards, and the only project leader who has no assistants.
Maybe it's God's way of rewarding hard work.
Due to Hammerson's obsession with academic research, although he has always worked alone in his life, his contribution to the monster research project is the greatest!
True to the old saying, when God closes a door for a person, it often opens another window for him.
It can be said that of the three project leaders, Hammerson was the person with the most information - and in this way, Hammerson was the best person Fan Kang was looking for.
In Fan Kang's view, only this kind of deviant person will not stick to secrets for the sake of so-called organizational discipline, so that Fan Kang can get the most detailed information.
Even, if Fan Kang can come up with something that stimulates his curiosity, this little old man may even help Fan Kang.
Fan Kang calculated the time, if he waited for the minotaur to find Hammerson, the summoning time would be almost at the limit, and there would be no time to subdue him or persuade Hammerson to reveal the information.
In the remaining few minutes, Fan Kang might as well go to another nearby research room first. At least figure out the situation so you can prepare for his next infiltration.
Of course, in order to avoid leaking the news that he was looking for the person in charge of the monster research project, Fan Kang finally killed the soldier with a knife.
At the same time, Euphelia, who was lurking outside the monster base with Fan Kang, noticed that several soldiers suddenly rushed out of the base, as if they were talking to the group of guards at the entrance. Moments later, all the guards at the entrance rushed into the base.
Euphelia touched Fan Kang. "Who, you see that the guards are back in the base, should we leave?"
Fan Kang rolled his eyes. "What did Your Highness call me? I have a name too, right? β
"Okay, what's your name, then?"
"Your Highness is just asking my name now, it's too insincere! I have also figured it out, Your Highness is a noble princess, and a scum from a humble background like me is really not worthy of letting His Highness bother to remember. β
Euphelia was a little angry. "Why are you like that? I can't call your name, you're angry. I asked you for your name, but you didn't say it. Also, the most important thing now is to rescue the second emperor brother, right? Do you have time to talk about inconsequential things here? β
"Okay, okay, the second prince is the most important, I'll go and save the second prince." After saying that, Fan Kang immediately jumped off the treetops.
Euffia thought that Fan Kang was angry again, and was afraid that Fan Kang would be angry, so she hurriedly retained her. "Why are you going? Come back! β
"I'm not here to save the second prince."
"Then I'll go with you!"
"No, Your Highness must stay here now."
"Then how dangerous are you alone......" Euphelia blurted out without thinking. Then he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly sealed it.
It's just that Fan Kang finally heard these words into his ears, and he seemed to laugh. "Unexpectedly, His Highness still cares about me?"
Euphelia immediately turned her face to the side. "Then you have to be careful, you must come out alive......"
"Isn't it? Your Highness really can't bear to let me rush into the dangerous monster base alone? β
"Didn't you just say it yourself? said that he was going to save the second emperor brother. β
Fan Kang held his forehead with his hand.
"Please! I just said that I would kill a few soldiers, wait until the summon effect is triggered, and then let the summon save the second prince. Now it's such a mess inside, I go in as a human and not be torn to pieces by monsters? β
Hearing this, Euphelia's heart was relieved, and she said hard. "Do you think I'm stupid? Of course I know your intentions, so I told you to come out alive. β
"Humph! Your Highness is the only one I think is stupid, right? Just now, he obviously wanted me to rush in myself. Sure enough, in His Highness's heart, I am just a tool at best...... Your Highness, don't get excited, can't you let the second personality awaken now...... Why? I can't waste energy, when I find out the whereabouts of the second prince, I'm still waiting for His Royal Highness to save it. β
Before Supergirl awakened, Fan Kang immediately fled the scene at the speed of light.
After a few minutes, Fan Kang finally dragged his tired body back.
Euphelia asked hurriedly. "Assaulted?"
"Nope." Fan Kang closed his eyes and rubbed his temples vigorously. "It's just that I summoned 2 summons at once, and it's too difficult to control."
"2 summons? You're going to be fine, right? β
Fan Kang rarely didn't flirt with Euffhelia, just waved his hand. "If I control 2 Minotaurs at the same time, with my current situation, I'm afraid it will really be unbearable. But fortunately, to inquire about the whereabouts of the second prince, it is enough to use a dwarf pitcher. If I'm guessing correctly, I might be able to do more with less. β
As a result, Euphelia asked very innocently. "Could it be that the dwarven pitchers are very good at finding people?"
Fan Kang was stunned. "Why do you say that?"
"There's no particular reason for that. It's just that when I think of the hounds being very good at finding people with their sense of smell, and now that you're sending out dwarven pitchers with very limited combat effectiveness, I can only think soβisn't that the reason? β
This divine logic--
Fan Kang's head was full of cold sweat. Fan Kang said he was powerless to complain.
"I don't know if the dwarven pitchers are very good at finding people. However, I have just discovered that His Highness's imagination is extremely rich, and his logical thinking is also first-class. I wonder if I'm doing it too much. Perhaps, with His Royal Highness's reasoning, he can find out the whereabouts of the second prince...... I was wrong, don't get excited, Your Highness, impulse is the devil, impulse is the devil......"
Euphelia tugged at Fan Kang's ear and said. "You'd better explain it to me, or I'll let you really go to the devil!"
"I'm afraid Your Highness is going to be disappointed. A young man like me, even if he dies, he sees an angel...... Your Highness tapped, and I said that's it. If you break your ears, won't you be able to hear His Highness's beautiful voice in the future? β
"I suddenly noticed that someone's wound healed very quickly, and the face that had been reshaped with great difficulty had changed back to its original appearance. It seems that the next plastic surgery will need to be a little more thorough. β
Fan Kang said indignantly.
"Your Highness must have been a devil in his last life! Forget it, in order to avoid His Highness's worries, I will reveal some clues about the second prince. Just now I heard from the famous scholar Hammerson in the base. I believe His Highness has heard of this person. Now this little old man's status in it seems to be very high, and we can learn from him about the whereabouts of the second prince. β
Euphelia frowned. "I've heard of Hammerson, but from what I know about him, he doesn't care about the affairs of the second emperor. He is only interested in academic research. β
"Nope! My instincts told me he must know. Fan Kang replied in the affirmative.
In the past, in his spare time, Fan Kang occasionally watched some bloody dramas. One of the most bloody episodes is that a handsome and dashing prince falls in love with a noble and beautiful princess - for the sake of the plot, Fan Kang naturally substitutes himself for the handsome prince - but unfortunately, the princess has a cursed brother, or a bad uncle who is hindering the princess and the prince's relationship.
So, the prince's small universe exploded, killed the villain who was in the way, and finally had sex with the princess, phew! Live happily together.
- Well, Fan Conde admits that the above is a glorified version.
According to the information he currently has, the closest guess to reality is that after the second prince Garon was caught, he became an experimental guinea pig. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why Jolins imprisoned the second prince here. And Hammerson, as the most authoritative research leader, will definitely handle this matter.
Fan Kang also thought about the worst-case scenario - the bull king in the mouth of the broken horned cow is very likely to be Garon!
"Butβ" Euphelia was a good boy who loved to ask "why", even now. "Even if Hammerson knows the whereabouts of the second imperial brother, why should he tell you? Although his intellectual curiosity is notoriously strong, the affairs of the second emperor brother are obviously not within the scope of his relationship. β
"So the one I sent to find Hammerson was a dwarf pitcher. And not the Minotaurs. β
Euphelia looked at Fan Kang with the eyes of a fool. "You should know better than me how much fighting a dwarf pitcher has. Although Hammerson couldn't beat it, with the help of the guards, it was not a problem to escape. Questioning in a brutal way obviously doesn't work. β
Fan Kang smiled knowingly and said with great certainty.
"Why use brute force? I'm a pacifist. Maybe he wasn't interested in the affairs of the second prince. But I think he must be interested in a dwarven pitcher with a high IQ. (To be continued.) )
