Leo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, anyway, that's what the academy asks." Is there anything wrong with that?"

"You humans, you always surprise me. The Empress spoke, and continued to explain, "If it's underground, I can send Nayu to send you safely to Fort Khorst, but on the ground, things won't go so smoothly. ”

"Why?" Leo wondered, and a slight uneasiness arose in his heart.

The Empress replied, "You won't like the ground in this area, no one will, and besides the terrible predator bees, you may run into the wandering Chele Pai Nayu. ”

"Terrible predator bees...... Chela Nai ......" Leo muttered and smiled bitterly: "That's no way, the academy asks for this, I have to do this......"

The two rows of eyes of the Mother Empress stared at Leo: "This is your decision, have you decided?"

Leo quickly regained his firmness and nodded, "Yes, I decided." ”

Without saying anything more, he opened his chelica teeth and squirted out a drop of yellow-brown liquid: "Apply it, it may be able to help you, and then I can allow a guide to accompany you to the fortress of Khost." ”

"Thank you. Leo hurriedly applied the liquid to his forehead, and collected the rest.

At first, he thought that the taste of this liquid might not be too good, but what he didn't expect was that the liquid actually revealed an indescribable fragrance. He couldn't help but guess that this might be some kind of mark of the Mother Empress, which could deter some unnecessary enemies.

And since the other party was so generous, Leo couldn't help but express it, so he said, "Honorable Mother, do you need me to extract some more toxins for you?"

The Mother Mother shook the first pair of knots like Cleopatra: "No need, human. This pain is something I have to endure if I can return to God's arms. Get peace. ”

After saying that, the Mother Emperor used her unique generation system to send out a series of indistinguishable fluctuations.

Leo knew that this was a unique way of communication for spider demons.

After a while, Cleopatra walked in and "purred" to the mother.

The mother queen also "purred" a few words. Then he said to Leo: "Let's go, human, and I wish you all the best." ”

It was obviously the way humans said goodbye that left Leo a little overwhelmed, and in the end he just responded, "So are you." ”

As soon as she walked out of the nest's dwelling, Cleopatra immediately said sadly: "The Mother Emperor will not let me accompany you to Horstburg, and I cannot disobey her orders. ”

"That's a shame. Leo said pretendly. In fact, he raised his hands in favor of such a situation. Although Cleopatra can cast spells, no matter how you look at it, its combat effectiveness is very low, and carrying it is tantamount to carrying it with a burden. ”

Cleopatra sighed as a human: "But don't worry. The Queen said, let the best Guardian Spider in York accompany you, I know a candidate. ”

............

"That's it! I don't have a very good head, but I know the way, and I'm very good at fighting!" said Cleopatra to Leo, "I've arranged for him to serve you as if he were to me, and fulfill your requests." With all your loyalty, make sure you get to Fort Khost. ”

on this. Leo was convinced. After all, spider demons are different from humans, they are completely social creatures who live in groups and will meticulously carry out any orders given by their superiors, even at the cost of doing so.

However, looking at the tall spider demon in front of him, although Leo felt that they all looked the same, he still felt that the one in front of him was particularly familiar.

"He's not going to be ...... just now"

"Haha. I thought you wouldn't recognize it. That's right, it's him, Kalulugada!" said Kelopatra, "don't worry about the slightest unpleasantness before, I promise. It won't be long before you'll love it. ”

In fact, if it weren't for the other party mentioning it, Leo would have forgotten what had just happened.

And then, he just needs an accurate guide, and as for things like loyalty or not, it doesn't make much sense. However, for the sake of better cooperation, he still said kindly: "Hello, Kalulugada, my name is Leo, I hope we can have a good journey together." ”

Unexpectedly, the battle spider demon named Kalulugada directly shook the first pair of knotted feet, and said in its strange voice like the friction of wood: "No, it won't be beautiful, it's never beautiful on the ground." I don't like it, you won't like it, no one likes it. ”

"Okay. Leo smiled helplessly and turned to Cleopatra, "Then it's time for me to hit the road, and I wish you all the best on your magical journey." ”

"Thank you, my ...... Mentor!" Cleopatra knew so much about human affairs that she raised her forefoot and placed it in front of her.

Undoubtedly, what it wanted to do was to perform a mage salute to Leo.

Leo was surprised by this move, and hurriedly returned a mage salute: "Needless to say, you and I are both fellow travelers on the magic path, but I will set off before you." Looking forward to the next meeting, your magical abilities can grow by leaps and bounds. ”

"Yes, yes!" said Cleopatra. Watching Leo fade away, this time, it raised its forefoot again and waved its hand.

One person and one spider demon kept moving at a constant speed, and no one spoke, only the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.

If there is any environment that Leo Sheng hates, then the underground must be able to rank in the top three.

Such a dim and unchanging place can cause a serious loss of direction and sense of time, and even gradually lose control of emotions.

Luckily, Leo has a guide, so he doesn't need to make any judgment. As a native of the area, Kalulugada is indeed very familiar with its surroundings, as Kela Opatra says.

After about three hours of walking through the winding fork in the road, they finally stopped to rest at Leo's suggestion.

After indiscriminately eating some of the bread he had brought with him, Leo asked, "How far are we to reach the surface?" and he already felt that the terrain was starting to trend upward.

"Twelve Meyer. Kalulugada replied. Along the way, it doesn't eat or drink, and if Leo doesn't ask and never makes any noise, it's a very quiet traveling companion, but it's definitely not a good traveling companion.

Leo knew that one mile was about two and a half kilometers, that is, at least four hours away. (To be continued.) )
