Chapter 136: Wait or Attack?
Huh?
I was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
Peat, are you going to play tricks to kill me?
I frowned slightly, my expression was stagnant, I looked like I couldn't cry or laugh, the corners of my mouth twitched a few times, and I said in a trembling voice: "You... You forgot to bring it? ”
Princess Aurora was full of apologies, and even said sorry: "I didn't mean to, I saw you in a coma there at the time, and I patronized to save you, and I didn't notice your weapon... I'm sorry.."
Mi Lulu gave me a blank look: "Why are you so ungrateful, princess, she saved you."
"Hey, forget it" I waved my hand, the corners of my mouth picked up, revealing a helpless smile, and said: "Don't worry too much, you saved me, I'm already very grateful, as for the weapon, it's good to get it back." ”
"By the way, I forgot to ask, where is this?" I took a turn, judging from the environment, it should still be on the thirteenth floor, but I have never been to such an open space, and it looks very unfamiliar.
"This is the corner of the cave on the thirteenth floor," Aurora said, "we've been hiding here for over two days. ”
"How much do you have left?" I asked, "How long?" ”
Aurora glanced at the dwarf not far away, and a bearded man stood up: "The supplies are enough to last four days, and if you save a little, it should be enough for six days." ”
"Do you have information about the people who are chasing you and the approximate location of the ambushes?"
"No" Mi Lulu shook her head regretfully: "Their attack was very sudden and fierce, we had no chance to fight back, we were chased and beaten very badly, and there were deadly traps on the way, not only did we not catch a prisoner who could be questioned, but also lost two companions." ”
"That's right." I nodded, and with a flash in my eyes, I asked, "Where did those two companions of yours break?" ”
"The first companion must have fallen into the trap while exploring the path in the cave we were walking," Milulu looked sad, "The second companion was shot by the pursuers not far from the trap." ”
I pondered: if she remembered correctly, then the dwarf corpse in the eighth cave before should have been the first companion Milulu and they lost, and the few roads I came in after that didn't find any corpses, was they disposed of? Or did I not pass by where the body fell?
"Milulu, where did you lose your second companion? Where is that trap? ”
"An Xiaoyi.." Aurora was a little unbearable, she had just lost her comrade-in-arms, and Milulu's sad mood was not completely calm, and I mentioned it again for unknown reasons, which was tantamount to rubbing salt on the wound.
However, before I could speak, Mi Lulu shook her head first, with a little sadness in her tone: "I'm fine, princess." ”
She turned her head and said to me, "That trap is the trap that made us lose the first companion, not far from the entrance of the cave, and the second companion was shot more than ten meters in front of the trap.
Hearing this explanation, my brow furrowed: there is no doubt that the first companion died in the trap, but since the second companion was shot, there must be blood flowing out of the wound, so there must be traces and faint smells on the ground, since I encountered the first trap, I have been on high alert, whether it is a piece of soil, a grain of sand, I will observe it with extreme caution, and then continue to walk, during this period, I did not see any traces of blood.
In this case, there are only two possibilities: first, the men disposed of the bodies of their comrades who had been shot, and at the same time, they cleaned the ground of the blood; Second, the companion who was shot was simply a liking to death, and he was a traitor in this team.
In the first case, there must have been traces of cleaning on the ground, as well as a layer of fine sand that was used to falsify the scene, but in my experience, neither of these details has appeared, which means that the probability of the first possibility is very low.
So, there's the second possibility.
My expression became serious, and a sense of intrigue came over me.
"What's wrong?" Aurora asked cautiously when she saw that I was not looking good.
"It's okay," I sighed, and the subject changed, "Does your father have any enemies in Arishi?" Or, did your father tell you not to associate with any kind of people? ”
Aurora thought for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
"Who is it?"
"Father, he didn't let me get too close to the human nobles, saying that they would lead me badly."
Forehead..
I'm ashamed, this dwarf king's prejudice against humans is really not small.
"Anything else?"
Aurora thought for a moment and said, "Father, he told me to stay away from those who like sweet talk, saying that I would suffer. ”
I covered my face, very helpless, and my voice trembled: "This, this doesn't count, still, is there anything else?" ”
Aurora thought about it again, and finally shook her head: "No. ”
I sighed: there is no useful information at all, it seems that I can't start in this direction, and at the moment, the easiest and clearest way is to grab a tongue and torture to extract a confession.
After making up my mind, I said to her, "Let's get out of this place." ”
"Get out?" Aurora hesitated: "Right now?" ”
I nodded: "Right now, or do you have rescuers coming?" ”
Aurora stopped talking, and when the rest of the dwarves heard the word 'out', a whisper instantly rang out from the camp:
"There are so many enemies out there, it's better not to go out yet."
"Who knows how many nets those hateful humans have laid out outside, and if we go out, maybe we will be wiped out!"
"In a few days, our Dwarven Guild will send troops to rescue the princess, no, I think they must have already acted by now."
"Damn humans, we dwarves are so hospitable, you are doing this to us, when I go out, I must and pee in the river where you drink water!"
"Presumptuous, can you say such words as and pee casually in front of the princess!"
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to."
..
"Hey, I said princess, are you dwarves so cowardly?" I was really troubled by this group of whispers, and I asked unpleasantly.
"No, we are not cowardly, but cautious," Princess Aurora explained, "We don't want to lose our lives here, we don't want to lose any of our brothers and sisters." ”
"Wait," Princess Aurora said with a sad expression, "Let's wait, the dwarven guild will not give up on any of our compatriots." ”
