Chapter 213: Deep in the Underground Palace
The monster's breath was getting closer, and Su Wen also adjusted the frequency of his breathing, ready to attack.
He didn't care about a small monster, but this was in the dungeon, and there was an ordinary level Barrot next to him. In addition, there are also members of the Doruffin Brotherhood who are unknown how many there are.
If an accident like the collapse of the dungeon is caused by that monster, then not only these students in the dungeon, but also the academy town above, may be affected.
This kind of tragedy is better not to appear.
Even Balot, in the quiet of the dungeon, heard a rhythmic sound in the distance, like the footsteps of something.
Su Wen silently counted down, ready to react accordingly at the moment when the monster appeared.
But when the countdown was reset to zero, the shadow that appeared around the corner made Su Wen almost catch it in one breath.
Appearing around the corner was Yumi, who was holding a mass of transparent material in his left hand and purple light in his right hand.
Su Wen looked at Yumi with a strange expression, and Barot, who also recognized the visitor, also glanced back and forth between the two of them in confusion.
"Ah...... Found you. Yumi walked over in a few steps and greeted the two.
"What ......are you doing here?" Su Wen moved his eyes down, saw the slime being held by Yumi, and asked again, "Why did you bring this thing over?"
"It's just a little curious...... Then, soft... I don't know what to do with this thing......" Yumi showed Su Wen the slime in his hand, and then sighed: "I didn't expect that there is a dungeon here! Oh my God, this is a major archaeological discovery!"
Soft?
From Yumi's appearance, Su Wen can also see that she has compassion for this slime, and she has probably chosen a name for this slime and kept it as a pet, right?
Anyway, slimes aren't harmful, so let her be happy.
Su Wen briefly told Yumi about the situation here, and by the way, helped Barot hide the details of her almost overturning, and also hid his worries about Ellie.
"So......" Yumi nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked again, "Aren't you looking for Ellie?
Eh, why does she know?
Barot had a small question.
Su Wen was also stunned, and confirmed to Yumi: "You say, Ellie is here?"
"yes...... Not far ahead, the breath is very noticeable......"
Su Wen heard this, so he didn't delay any longer, and walked over according to the position indicated by Yumi.
After passing through a small passage, a hall in the underground palace appeared in front of the three of them.
The hall is about a quarter the size of the Snow Castle Ballroom, but it is almost as tall as the Snow Castle Ballroom. With the modest hedron lights on the walls and pillars on both sides, Su Wen could vaguely distinguish the broken murals on the ceiling.
The holes in the walls and ceiling suggest that there must have been something on it before, but it must have been dug up by someone later, presumably a lighting fixture or some other metal decoration.
This hall is supposed to be the "main altar" of the Doroufen Brotherhood stronghold, because in a conspicuous position, there is a flag painted with the emblem of the Brotherhood, which hangs quietly there.
And in this hall, there are several members of the Doroufen Brotherhood waiting in different positions. These people seem to have a party, but because of the presence of the invader Barot, they are still waiting for the members who have just gone out to reinforce and solve the problem.
The two girls looked at Su Wen with inquiring eyes, as if they wanted to get instructions on what to do from Su Wen. In this case, the two subconsciously gave the right to make decisions to their most reliable people.
Su Wen didn't say much, and unfolded the magic array again, planning to take down these people directly.
But when Su Wen was almost ready for the magic, he heard a familiar voice from a distance: "Wait a minuteโ"
The voice, it's Ellie's.
With Ellie's shout, the members of the Doruffin Brotherhood in the hall looked at the door in unison. The gaze of these people is not as simple as that of the students in the academy, but mixed with some yin owls that can only be found in the eyes of adventurers or outlaws.
The concentrated glance of his eyes made Yumi, who had the most brittle mentality, scared for a while, even Balot, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but feel a little weak when he had learned from the past.
If these people are capable of killing people and setting fires, the two girls will also believe it.
At the same time that these people cast their eyes on the three of them, Ellie's figure also appeared on the stage in the center. But Ellie's expression was as relaxed as usual.
"Why are you here?"
Ellie looked at the three of them and asked a little strangely.
"Why are you here again?"
Ellie listened to Su Wen's question, and smiled, looking a little coquettish. But Su Wen noticed that the members of the Doruffin Brotherhood showed a look of fear.
"That's the question...... It's a long story......"
Ellie jumped off the altar and walked all the way to the three of them, and then led them to a corner of the hall, where a set of tables and chairs were placed.
Ellie asked a few people to sit down casually, and she sat down herself, and began to explain the ins and outs to Su Wen.
As Ellie completed this series of actions, the members of the Doruffin Brotherhood only watched quietly, without the slightest intention of reacting.
"That ......" When it was time to speak, Ellie squirmed a little.
The feeling for Su Wen is similar to what a child has done, but he is embarrassed to say it to an adult.
"Say it. โ
Barot and Yumi also pricked up their ears, curious about the current situation.
"That's ......" Ellie organized her language and said softly, "Actually, I'm now...... He is the leader of the Doruffin Brotherhood. โ
"What??"
Su Wen was stunned for a moment, and the two people next to him, as if they didn't hear clearly, confirmed again: "What did you say??"
The reaction of several people was exactly as Ellie had expected.
Ellie scratched her head and said, "I said, I'm the head of this organization now......"
Barot secretly glanced at the group of "outlaws" who were staying outside, and then at Su Wen and Yumi's reactions, still with an expression of disbelief.
Yumi knew Ellie's physique and knew her strength, but she was still a little surprised.
"It's a bit powerful...... Su Wen was stunned for a moment, but returned to normal, and in his words, there was even a compliment to Ellie.
