Chapter Ninety-Five: The Pottery Puppet
The ugly girl led the way with a magic lamp, Rob could detect the change in her mood after entering the underground, probably remembering some unpleasant memories, and the two did not speak again for a while, Hecrito looked curiously at the surrounding stone walls, and reached out to touch the moss on them.
The world here is different from the earth, and it is extraordinarily quiet.
After walking so far, there was hardly any movement except for the sound of footsteps and stones hitting the stone wall, as if diving into a deep sea, with only endless corridors and complicated forks in the road.
The future super-mage has already understood what Karina said that it is difficult to move an inch here without a good guide, these forks in the road are like a beehive, and if you are not careful, you will lose your way, which is why every once in a while someone always escapes to the underground and those big forces on the ground are helpless to take them, if it is the first time to come to the underground world, let alone find someone, as long as you walk a distance, I am afraid you will not be able to find your way back.
Fortunately, the ugly girl had lived underground, but she was very familiar with this place, and she hardly hesitated about the branches and forks she encountered along the way, and after walking about half a magic, the two came to an upside-down conical stone pillar, and the ugly girl finally stopped and spoke again, " The guy we're going to see now is very well-informed here, and he should be able to help you if you want to find someone, but he's cautious by nature and will hardly show his face in front of strangers who are stronger than him, so you'd better not do anything and leave it to me to deal with whatever happens. ”
Rob nodded, indicating that he had no objections.
However, the ugly girl didn't seem to be at ease, thought about it and added, "I've dealt with him a few times, and he may be a little, uh, a little neurotic, but it's not bad in nature, and he's one of the few guys in this place who can still be called human, and he's helped me before, so I hope you don't take it seriously even if he has any rude behavior." ”
"Don't worry, I won't hurt him. "The future Lady is well aware of what the ugly girl is worried about, and the power he has shown before has made it clear that the latter has a lingering heart, and the ugly girl is afraid that he will be used to using force to solve problems when the negotiation does not go well.
With someone's assurance, the ugly girl finally stopped hesitating, put her thumb and forefinger to her mouth, and blew a whistling with a strange rhythm, which she blew three times in total, and it sounded similar, but in fact there was a slight change in the scale each time.
After three times, the ugly girl put her ear to the stone wall, listening quietly, but the dark cave in front of her was still quiet.
Five minutes later, the ugly girl repeated the same move again, explaining to Rob, " That guy used to live around here, if he heard the whistle just now, he should come out to see me, but three years have passed, I don't know if he has moved out, and I don't even know if he is still alive, let's wait a little longer, if he doesn't show up after half a magic, I'll take you to find someone else, but the accuracy of the information provided by those guys is much worse, most of the people who live underground have a fixed area of activity, only he belongs to a relatively special area, and basically everything can be known quickly. ”
Just as the two of them were talking, the voice of Xi Suo Suo finally came from the depths of the corridor ahead.
The ugly girl raised the magic lamp in her hand again, and was a little surprised to find that it was not a human, but a pottery puppet, which was only half a meter tall and had rollers on its feet, allowing it to move in the corridor.
But what intrigued Rob was the faint fluctuation of magic emanating from the figurines' bodies.
This is the second magic guide he saw in Ogreench, and unlike the magic lamp, the production level of the magic guide this time is obviously much higher, although it is still simple, but it is more because of the lack of materials, it can be seen that the designer is still very thoughtful, except for some necessary cores, many places are replaced with all kinds of strange things, which is obviously related to the extreme lack of materials in Ogreene.
As expected, these magic materials are terrible, but from another point of view, it is not easy to piece together a working magic guide from these terrible materials.
This pottery puppet in front of you, the future super magister does not know why it is more appropriate, from its body can see the prototype of some golems, but in addition to the power system of the golem other functions it does not seem to have, just a vain shell, the role is also very limited, at most it is to help run errands or something.
The clay doll stopped half a meter away from the two of them, holding two small stone bowls in its hands, each containing an unknown liquid of green and brown.
"It's ...... What do you mean?" the ugly woman was puzzled.
"Looks like it wants us to drink from the bowl. Rob speculated.
"How is this possible?!" the ugly girl frowned, no one knew what was in those two bowls, and if she drank it, it would be equivalent to putting her fate in the hands of the owner of the pottery puppet, and the most important thing to do if you want to survive in the underground world is to never trust anyone, let alone a guy who has just dealt with it a few times, even if it is a real friend or relative, it is possible to betray it for its own interests.
The ugly girl said to the clay puppet in front of her, "Where's that guy Carlisle? Why didn't he come out to see me?"
However, the pottery puppet was indifferent when he heard this, and stood motionless with the two stone bowls, as if to tell the two of them that they would not be able to see his master unless they drank the contents of the bowls.
The ugly girl was still hesitating, but Rob had already picked a stone bowl and drank the brown liquid contained in it, and at the same time signaled the empty bowl in her hand to the pottery puppet, so the ugly girl gritted her teeth and drank the contents of the other stone bowl into her stomach, the green liquid was very bitter in the mouth, and there was a smell of rotting internal organs, and the ugly girl almost didn't vomit out.
As a result, after the two drank the contents of the bowl, the pottery puppet still did not react.
Just standing quietly in the dark, it was like mocking the two of them silently.
The ugly girl's first reaction was that the two of them had fallen into some trap, but then Rob waved his hand to her, signaling her not to worry, but the ugly girl saw his movements, not only did she not feel relieved but her face changed suddenly, because she noticed that the blood vessels on someone's arm had all turned a strange purple in a short period of time, almost subconsciously, she quickly checked her body, but she didn't find anything abnormal.
