Chapter 569 Game
"Uh-huh...... Yes! As soon as the little man came out, he let out a strange scream.
However, this state of affairs only lasted for a few seconds, and when he saw the members of the caravan clearly, he immediately raised his hands and shouted: "I have no ill will!" I swear! Please don't kill me! ”
"Hah! An underground dwarf kid! A gray dwarf warrior laughed and kicked the little man's ass.
The Grey Dwarves are not good creatures, their notoriety is second only to the Dark Elves in the Dark Regions, and they love to torture and enslave other races. Some gray dwarf caravans will even travel to and from the City of the Mind Flayer, providing slaves and minerals for those octopus heads.
But Carrig clearly does not have such abilities. He looked up and down at the underground gnome in front of him and said regretfully, "It's a pity. The city of Nasa had taken back a large number of slaves from the surface, and this guy couldn't sell them for a good price. ”
"It's okay, even if we can't sell it, we can tie it up first, and when we encounter a monster, we can throw this underground dwarf out as bait." The other gray dwarf warrior said with a sinister smile on his face.
As soon as he heard that he was going to use himself as bait, the little dwarf turned pale with fright, and shook his head desperately and shouted, "No! Don't do this! My home is in a village not far to the north, and if you bring me there, I am guaranteed to be paid handsomely. ”
You know, the wild creatures in the underground are not like the surface ones, and if you are lucky, you may be able to pick up a small life. The living environment here is very harsh, and food is relatively scarce, so all kinds of monsters are more ferocious, not only have evolved sharp claws, teeth, and shells, but also have a strong appetite. Once caught, I'm afraid I'll be killed within five seconds. There is no possibility of escape at all.
Watching the grey dwarves tease the underground gnome for a moment. Heng used the scabbard to push everyone away, walked up to the front and asked with a smile: "How about it, do you want to play a game with me, as long as you win, you can leave immediately, but if you lose......"
Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he instantly twitched the long knife with a fierce swing, cutting a line of blood across the dwarf's ten fingers. Then in a cold voice, he said, "If you lose, I'll cut off all your fingers." ”
This sentence suddenly lowered the temperature around them to freezing, and even the gray dwarf warriors couldn't help but shiver, and their eyes inadvertently showed fear and fear. They had never seen a guy who turned his face so quickly, one second he was still talking and laughing, and the next second he was going to cut off someone's finger.
Of course, if Henry had said this before killing the patrol, there would have been countless ridicule and provocations. But it was different now, especially since he had just been so neurotic and murderous, and he had already labeled these gray dwarves as demons. They all cautiously took a few steps back, freeing up a lot of space.
"Excuse me...... What are the rules of the game? "The underground gnomes were visibly frightened. The voice is full of trills.
"It's very simple, it's also very fair, I'll flip a coin, you guess, if you guess right, you win, and if not, I win."
As he spoke, Henry pulled out a gold coin minted by a dark elf from his pocket, with a giant spider on the front and an underworld lingua franca on the back. Although he really wanted to let go of the dwarf in front of him directly, this did not match his current personality, so he only had to play a little trick.
Hearing that it was a coin guess, the underground dwarf breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly nodded: "Okay, I completely agree." ”
Regardless, there's a 50% chance of winning this kind of game, which is more than being fed to monsters or used as a slave.
"Very well, then we're going to get started now." After saying that, Henry's thumb flicked hard, and the gold coin rolled and flew into the air and quickly reached its peak, and then fell rapidly, and when it was about one meter and a half from the ground, he grabbed it with his right hand and held the coin in the palm of his hand again.
"Now it's your turn, guess."
The dwarf wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth and popped out two words from his mouth: "Spider!" ”
For a moment, all eyes were on the hand holding the coin, nervously waiting for the final answer to be revealed. Especially the underground gnomes, sweating all over their bodies, are completely like a death row prisoner waiting for the final trial.
However, Henry did not open his hand, but laughed and kicked the little dwarf: "Boy, congratulations on you guessed right, get out." ”
"The stone is on top! I'm free! I'm free! Thank you for keeping your promise! Good bye! The underground gnome bowed excitedly, and then plunged into the northern tunnel, running away without looking back.
"Damn! What a shit luck guy! ”
"yes, I'd like to see my fingers cut too."
"But it's really exciting, why didn't I find coin toss so fun before?"
"Idiot! That's because there are cut fingers! ”
……
The grey dwarf warriors chattered about what had just happened as they dragged the corpse of the dark elf to an inconspicuous place to hide. Obviously, this game of gambling with a part of their body completely aroused their evil hearts, and they were all very excited.
Henry, who was standing on the side, showed an inexplicable smile on his face, and opened his hand slightly, only to see that the side on it was printed with the lingua franca of the underground. He put his hand to his lips and made a silencing gesture at the frightened-looking Carrig beside him, then put the coin back in his fanny pack.
Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, Nessis leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Great master, why did you let that underground dwarf go?" ”
"Part of the plan, which will come in handy later. In addition, you take those two little devils to watch this device for a while, and don't let anyone get close, someone will come to receive it soon. You take this note first, and give it to a guy named Congus in a moment," said Henry, pulling out a piece of parchment covered in small print, folding it, and handing it to the succubus.
"Understood, but how can I tell if the other person is your designator?" Naxis asked, shoving the note into the bottomless ravine in his chest.
"Quite simply, Congus is a golden skull that you can recognize as soon as you see it. Once you're done with that, you're going to follow them, I have some personal grudges that need to be dealt with individually. After saying that, Henry ignored the succubus who deliberately posed as a seduction, and followed the caravan again.
The closer it is to Uster. Nassa, the more restless his heart became. Rescuing Allen, taking revenge on Chasma, and asking about the whereabouts of the uranium mine can be said to be very important, and no accidents are allowed at all. The more people who act, the more likely it is to be detected, so it is safest to be alone.
As soon as the caravan left, Congus and several lichs from the Ring of Truth opened the portal and appeared in its place. As soon as they appeared, they immediately showed the power of the top undead creatures, whether it was the negative energy that was so rich that it was substantial, or the terrifying aura that made people tremble, the two little devils trembled on the ground, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
At this moment, Naiss finally understood what his master had just said. Indeed, it is a golden skull that will never be forgotten at a glance. Nonsense, anyone who can forget a terrifying half-lich must have something wrong with their brain.
She resisted the urge to turn around and run away, took the note out of her chest, bowed very humbly, and offered it with both hands: "Great immortal, this is what my master asked me to hand over to you." ”
Congus didn't speak, but directly used a mage's hand to look at the parchment, carefully reading its contents. When he saw that the spherical device could capture living objects, the cold light in his eyes instantly skyrocketed, and then he let out a shrill laugh: "Hahahahaha! Interesting! It's so much fun! What a perfect trap, a one-of-a-kind miniature dimensional prison. ”
"Chief, this orb is very valuable for research, and there is a trapped lich in it, if it goes well, we will soon have a new member in the inner ring." The lich Bertlem raised his own in a hoarse voice.
As a level 28 prophecy legendary mage, his position in the Ring of Truth is second only to Henry and Congus, not only is he powerful, but he is also very good at detection and divination, and he is one of the indispensable and important members of the entire organization, and his words are naturally full of weight.
Congus nodded slightly, "That's right, this device must be handled with care. In this case, you can gather three members and transport it back to HQ to study it, and take down the lich inside by the way. I think it's going to be a few days before we do it, so there's no need to rush too much. ”
"I'm honored to have received such an assignment, and rest assured that I will deliver the Lich's lifebox to you in three days at most." With that, Bertlem bowed slightly, and with the other three members of the inner ring, he surrounded the orb and began to chant incantations loudly, and after a minute, he disappeared in place along with the huge device and the four lichs.
Seeing that the target had been safely teleported back to headquarters, Congus felt that the purpose of the trip had been achieved, and turned around to leave. Before he could get any further, the shouts of Naxis came from behind him.
"Wait! Dear Immortals! The host said let's follow you. ”
"Follow me?" Congus's skeletal face had a rather strange expression, but it quickly returned to normal. He stared at the succubus and the two shivering little devils for a long time, and finally let out a sneer: "Ha! Well, I hope you don't regret it. ”
At first, the succubus didn't know what the last voice meant, but it didn't take long for him to learn the truth.
Seeing the large group of undead creatures around her, such as the Dead-Eye Tyrant, the Death Knight, the Bone Golem, etc., she instantly felt a piercing chill, and her whole body involuntarily began to tremble. No way, the negative energy here is so powerful that even a creature like a demon can't stand it.
Not to mention the two poor little devils, who were already shuddering and curled up in a ball, trying not to let their body temperature drain too quickly...... (To be continued......)
