Chapter 369: Zambit's Unexpected Discovery
"If you know in advance what the reward for this level is, it's not too late for us to discuss it. Alfie easily kicked the ball back.
His subtext is clear, and it's still unknown whether he can pass this level, let alone those ethereal rewards. In case the rewards after passing the level are useless to everyone, it is just a waste of time to argue for half a day.
In fact, Alfie had already roughly guessed what the reward of this level would be, and the most valuable part of it had undoubtedly been obtained by Leni who had reached the center of the magic circle first. Alfie believes that as long as she can find a way to help Leni get out of trouble, Leni's strength will definitely go to the next level. Everyone knows what it means to be in the realm above the twelfth level. Alfie couldn't imagine any reward more valuable than boosting one's strength to enter the Sanctuary.
The question now is, what is the key to helping Lenny get out of trouble?
"Hey, you can't do that. I've taken such a big risk in my life and death, you have to give me some benefit, right?By the way! Where's my mechanical road rage? I don't seem to see it!" Just as Alfie expected, Zambit, a guy who couldn't hide things in his heart, saw that he couldn't blind Alfie, and he messed up first.
"The condition for you to build a mechanical roadfighter is for you to probe the eye of the storm, and the problem is that you find nothing in the eye of the wind, so-" Alfie shrugged with feigned regret.
"Didn't I find anything Lennie?" exclaimed Zambit, unconvinced.
"Of course Miss Leni was found by you, but it doesn't help us to clear the level, are you too embarrassed to ask for a reward?" Alfie couldn't remember the first time she had easily used a verbal trap to trap Zambit.
"You're so shameless!" Zambit said indignantly.
Several others were also amazed by Alfie's shameless face, they had never seen such a guy who spoke nonsense with his eyes open and his face did not change color and his heart did not beat, and even Coughren, who felt that he was quite thick-skinned, sighed to himself, not to mention the relatively innocent Barnett and Katie Jr.
Celent was even more ashamed and didn't dare to look up at others, and in his heart he had to admit that Alfie was right to him not long ago, and Alfie was indeed the most "bad" guy in the eyes of this gang.
"So if you want to be rewarded, be honest about what you find. Alfi said in a fierce voice. The faces of everyone were all visible to him, and he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
"How do you know I've made a discovery?" Zambit's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't seem to say anything.
"Your expression betrays you!, stupid!" Alfie, of course, wouldn't tell Zambit that he was lying to him.
"Is my expression that rich?" Zambit looked innocently at the others.
"Zambit, let's hurry up, now is not the time to care, look at your surroundings!" Rebecca sighed, and she could see that Zambit did know some secret they didn't know.
After Rebecca's reminder, Zambit found that the eight tornadoes around the magic array had come together at some point, becoming a huge tornado that penetrated the heavens and the earth. The reason why he didn't realize it in advance was because they were right in the middle of the tornado, and even though the tornado around them was earth-shattering, it was silent and eerie inside.
The tornado rumbled as it closed, and countless clouds of yellow sand were swept into it, and from a distance, it seemed as if they were surrounded by a yellow curtain, and it was impossible to see what was happening outside the curtain. But one thing is for sure, if they are unfortunate enough to be caught in it, they will be crushed by a huge tornado in an instant.
Even a person like Zambit, who knew nothing about magic, could see that it was as calm as before the storm, and that an even more violent wind was coming, as the tornadoes around them began to slowly move towards them at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"If you still want to experience the feeling of falling from a great height again, just go silent. But let me warn you that there are no parachutes for you this time. Alfie saw that Zambit's face was still hesitant, and couldn't help but urge.
"Okay, I say!" Zambit weighed, his own life was more important than those unknown rewards, and the experience just now, Zambit definitely didn't want to try it a second time.
Thinking of this, Zambit identified the direction, pointed to a position far away from the center of the magic array, and said: "When I fell just now, I accidentally found that two big holes suddenly appeared in that direction, I think this must be related to the formation of a tornado!"
"Is that direction? are you sure? How far is it from here?" Alfie calculated, it was the direction they had been walking in, and why they hadn't found a clue before.
"It's not very far, only about a thousand meters, I didn't find those two big holes when I first started falling, I only found out when the parachute was destroyed. Zambit argued anxiously. He had also passed there, and in a sense, it was also a dereliction of duty on his part as a scout not to have discovered those two large holes in advance.
"Let's hurry over and take a look—Vincent, Barnett, you two go to the center of the magic circle, and see how Miss Lenny is doing, and if there's anything you need help with. Alfie commanded loudly.
The tornado contracted faster and faster, and it was too late for them to check the big hole first and then care about Lenny's safety, which forced Alfie to make the decision to split up. In such a time-crunched situation, he did not dare to risk putting his eggs in the same basket.
Alfie had his own reasons for separating like this. Barnett and Celent were the first to enter the castle with Lennie, and they would be easier to communicate with, and there would be no trust problem, even though Celent now appeared in the form of Vincent, believing that with his way of doing things, he could quickly win Lennie's favor and trust.
At the same time, due to the special connection between Alfie and Celent, in the extreme case of a sudden loss of contact, they can also know each other's safety through that connection.
As for Alfie, Alfie believes that with his wisdom and Coughren's experience, he will definitely be able to find the secret of the two big holes that suddenly appeared, and Rebecca, who has recovered some of her strength, and Katie, who has half a dozen pets, plus the great Troll Warrior, are the best fighting forces and should be able to deal with possible crises.
"We don't have a problem, Alfie, you have to be careful!" Although he did not agree with some of Alfie's radical approaches, Celent still cared deeply about his best friend, believing that it was only Alfie's last resort in extreme cases. It turns out that if Alfie hadn't used this not-so-bright approach to trick Zambit out of his secret, God knows when the great Troll Warrior would have made the discovery.
The consequence of a delay in that situation at the time was likely to be that everyone would die together in the coming tornado. At least in terms of results, Alfie's approach bought everyone valuable time.
