Chapter Ninety-Six: Very Good, So Things Will Be Simpler

"You...... Are you poisoned?" the ugly girl was shocked.

"It seems like yes. His Excellency the future Ultra Magister glanced at his arm with a calm expression.

"But you chose it first...... Wait, do you know which of the two bowls is poison?"

Rob raised his eyebrows, but before he could speak, the clay puppet moved again, and after two steps, it stopped in place, as if waiting for the two to follow.

The ugly girl finally understood why the pottery puppet had been motionless before, it was supposed to wait for the toxin to spread in someone's body, and only after confirming that Rob was indeed poisoned would she take the two to meet its owner.

With the ugly girl's understanding of Claire, that guy is indeed more timid and cautious than ordinary people, but not to the extent that he needs to use poison to control others otherwise he will not dare to show his face, and she has not seen her for three years and does not know what happened to the other party during this period, and now she can only comfort someone, "What kind of misunderstanding should this be...... Don't worry, I'll let him detoxify Carlisle when I see him. ”

Rob sighed, seemingly unconcerned about the eerie purple in his veins.

The pottery puppet led the way without saying a word in front, it deliberately picked some forks in the road and went around in circles, obviously to prevent the two from secretly writing down the path, and in addition, the future super magic master also felt the breath of the magic array nearby, it was a low-level magic array, simple but very effective, the effect was to distort the sense of direction within a certain range, but with Rob's spiritual power, this magic array would not have any effect on him at all.

"Yvette...... Is that your name?" said His Excellency the future Ultra Magister after walking for a while.

"Huh?!" The ugly girl's expression changed visibly after hearing these three words, and her pupils showed a hint of vigilance, and she paused for a moment before saying, "I didn't expect anyone to know this name." ”

"Your origins do not seem to be as simple as you say, Saxes, the leader of the Nightingale, who deliberately mentioned this name before me, in order to arouse my curiosity, so that I could ask about its origin, in other words, if I knew the meaning behind the name, it was very likely that my opinion of you would change. ”

"Do you want to know?" the ugly woman stopped.

Rob, however, shook his head, "I said I'm just a passerby to OGreen, so you don't have to worry, I don't care about your past, I only care if you can help me find the person I'm looking for." ”

The ugly girl frowned, as if she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence too much, because for hundreds of years, no prisoner had been able to leave this prison, so she hadn't thought about this possibility from the beginning, and after a while she said, "You seem to care about that companion of yours?"

"Hmm. "There's no need to hide it.

The ugly girl could see that someone was saying this word without any hesitation, and thought for a moment, "She...... Is it the same in the outside world, where men can put their own safety at risk for the sake of the girl they like? Just like you did before, you don't hesitate to drink the contents of that bowl? But in this way, don't you have a weakness, what if someone threatens you with someone you like?"

Rob smiled, "Isn't the reason why people become strong is to protect the people they like?"

The next moment the puppet stopped, it seemed to be far away, but in fact it was less than three hundred meters away from the previous stone pillar, the guy named Carlisle lived in a cave between the stone walls, the entrance and exit of the cave was very narrow, probably only for a child to pass sideways, Carlisle stuck his head out of the hole, and kept carefully looking at the two of them, until he was sure that there was no danger before he came out of the cave.

He was a bearded dwarf, dressed in a mage robe that was obviously too loose for him, and holding a dirty staff in his hand, looking somewhat comical.

As soon as I saw the ugly girl, I couldn't help but scold, "Is there something wrong with you, why do you have to come back since you are gone?"

The latter looked at the dwarf and said dissatisfiedly, "Carlisle, you have the problem, you know why I poisoned the bowl, quickly take out the antidote." ”

The dwarf grimaced, "Hmph, you have been out of the ground for too long and don't know the current situation, but you should be glad that the person who drank the poison was not you, if it weren't for the fact that everyone still had a little friendship, I would have poisoned you a long time ago, and I could have received more rewards." ”

The ugly girl frowned, "What do you mean, Carlisle, didn't you say that you would only do research here and not get involved in underground disputes?"

"So it's killing yourself to run down recklessly without knowing anything, and you weren't so reckless before. The dwarf sighed, "It's not like three years ago, there is already a leader in the underground world, we all have to obey his orders, the latest order is to kill all the outsiders, and not let one go back to the surface, I only pick one of the two of you to kill it for the sake of the previous friendship, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the top." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at someone and snorted coldly, "Don't blame me, boy, if you want to blame, you can only blame your bad life, and besides, I gave you a choice, you can not drink that thing at all, so that we all save trouble, and we can treat it as if we have never encountered it, but you have to come to see me, although the courage is commendable, but it is a pity that you gave your life in vain." ”

The ugly girl's expression turned cold, and she held the dagger on her body, "Carlisle, I brought him here, if you don't undo the poison on his body, I will ......"

"What can you do, kill me?" a mocking look appeared on the dwarf's face, "Don't forget who saved your life in the first place, even if you are ungrateful, do you really think that I have nothing to do with you?" Although the things you drank just now are not poisonous, and in a sense, they are still good for your body, but that is three days later, and in these three days, if you do it with people, you can only exert less than thirty percent of your strength, tsk, you have really been out of the ground for too long, and even the most basic precautions have been lost, so don't trust others casually in this place, it's common sense. ”

The ugly girl gritted her teeth, "Thirty percent of the strength is enough to kill you." She was about to draw the dagger from her waist, but the next moment her hand was held down, and the ugly girl looked up and found that it was none other than Rob who stopped her.

The future Ultra Magister did not have the anger on his face as he imagined, but instead showed a somewhat strange expression, he looked at the gnome, "You said that the underground world now has a leader?"

It seemed that Carlisle didn't hide that someone was dead, "Yes, less than a year after you left, a very powerful guy suddenly appeared underground, and everyone either surrendered or was killed, so now there is only one force left in the entire underground world." ”

"Very well, it makes things much easier that way. ”
