The atmosphere in the narrow cave became a little tense.
The man following Li Te looked nervous. He stared at Tang Zhen to prevent Li Te from being hurt.
Tang Zhen could feel that the other party was a monk, and his cultivation level should be slightly higher than his own.
Being able to let monks serve as his bodyguards, Li Te was indeed quite capable, and there was more than one such monk.
The men and women outside the door are also monks, and their strength is almost the same.
Perhaps it was this reason that gave Li Te the confidence to cooperate with the Loucheng monks without worrying that he would be swallowed to the point where no bones were left.
Hearing Tang Zhen's question, Lite smiled, with a hint of pride.
"Your Excellency Tang Zhen, what do you think?"
Hearing Li Te's rhetorical question, Tang Zhen already confirmed in his heart that Li Te was indeed causing trouble behind his back.
I secretly lamented in my heart that the indigenous residents are actually not simple, especially the indigenous people of this world. Strictly speaking, they are also residents of the Loucheng world.
If you don't pay enough attention, you may be plotted by the indigenous people, or even eliminated directly.
From the beginning of the competition to now, the number of Loucheng monks who have been eliminated for this reason should be quite large.
In fact, it is not very appropriate to say that he is causing trouble. It can only be said that Tang Zhen fell into Li Te's plan from the beginning.
Tang Zhen took this as a warning and must be careful next time he encounters something like this.
After understanding what was going on, Tang Zhen became much calmer and said in a chatty tone: "If I guessed correctly, those adventurers are yours, or have they fallen into your hands? "
Lit nodded: "Not at the beginning, but they were watched by my people when they entered the city. After controlling and questioning them, I got the information I wanted from their mouths."
Tang Zhen laughed: "That's why you sent someone to wait for me at the door. No wonder I felt someone peeping at me several times when I entered the city.
At that time, I thought he was the defender of the city, but now I think that is not the case, he should be one of yours too! "
Li nodded and signaled Tang Zhen to continue.
"Not only is Ellie waiting for me at the gate of the city, there are actually other men of yours waiting to come into contact with me. Am I right?"
Li Te continued to nod, but Ellie felt guilty and lowered her head uneasily.
Ellie admitted in her heart that Tang Zhen was the best person she had ever met, and she still felt guilty for deceiving him.
There were just some things that she couldn't help herself with.
Ellie's mother's eyes widened, wondering how her daughter could be involved. She stared at her daughter and wanted to ask, but in the end she did not dare to speak.
"Even if you are unable to contact me at the city gate, you must still have follow-up methods, such as letting me know your existence through those adventurers.
At that time, you may have to change your identity. For example, your father was once an adventurer and left behind a lot of maps.
But you are very stubborn and refuse to sell. I have to be there in person to get the map. "
Li Te laughed and clapped his hands gently, saying that Tang Zhen's analysis was very exciting.
"It's exactly what you said, but you chose Ellie from the beginning, which actually saved me a lot of effort.
After all, I really live here, there is no need to perform at all, and of course there are some small details that need to be arranged.
For example, if I buy candies for two little guys, they will memorize what I teach them, otherwise they will not cooperate with me..."
When Li Te said this, his face showed a hint of helplessness, but also a hint of pampering.
"In addition, I have to cancel the mechanism at the entrance to the secret room so that you can enter easily without making too much noise..."
…
While the two were talking, Ellie had been pulled into the inner room by her mother, who was questioning her in a low voice.
This ordinary mother felt like she was almost out of breath. She didn't expect that her children would do so many things outside without telling her.
If it was a trivial matter, it would be fine, but looking at Ergou's injuries and the momentum of Tang Zhen and Li Te's entourage, you knew it was definitely not a trivial matter.
Killing and seeing blood, how can things be so small!
In addition, there was Li Te, whom she had always regarded as her own child, but she didn't want this orphan whose parents both died to suddenly become such a stranger.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. Ellie's mother's eyes were red and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
Ellie immediately panicked when she saw this. You must know that since her father passed away, her mother has never shed tears in front of her children.
Even if he wanted to cry, he would hide outside and cry secretly in the dead of night.
A strong sense of self-blame arose in Ellie's heart. She didn't realize until this moment how much she had hurt her mother's heart by doing this.
"Mom, I know you are angry with me and blame me for lying to you and hiding this from you.
It's my fault, but the reason why I have no choice but to do this is also for you and my brother. "
Ellie said this, hugged her mother in her arms, and said in a slightly heavy tone: "Mom, you may not know that it won't take long for countless monsters to appear.
At the same time, there are countless monks from other worlds. When they appear, the catastrophe begins.
At that time, Tianxu City will become a hell, and no matter who the residents of the city are, they will be unable to avoid this disaster.
I don't want you and your brother to be in danger, so I joined Li Te's church. Although it may not be able to prevent disaster, it can at least make you and your brother safer. "
Listening to Ellie's story, her mother stopped crying and asked in a trembling tone: "What you said is true and you didn't lie to your mother?"
Ellie smiled and shook her head, but her smile was very bitter.
"Mom knows, can you think of a way to take your brother to a safe place.
It doesn't matter, mom, it's the same everywhere. "
Ellie shook her head: "Mom, you don't know how terrible this disaster is, there is almost no safe place in the whole world.
Unless we hide in a place that no one knows, we may be able to survive, but even if there is such a place, it is not our turn to own it..."
Ellie's tone was full of helplessness. She was not very old, but she had a heavy burden on her shoulders, and she couldn't talk to anyone about the pain in her heart.
This is the helplessness of mortals. When disaster strikes, all they can do is struggle.
As for whether you can survive, it actually depends more on luck.
Seeing the helplessness on her daughter's face, Ellie's mother couldn't help but hugged her, held her in her arms, and kept stroking her daughter's hair with her palms.
The mother and daughter hugged each other, crying to each other.
Unexpected crying disturbed the sleeping twin brothers. They looked at their crying mother and sister with sleepy eyes, confusion on their faces.
After looking at each other, the two brothers burst into tears and cried together.
Ellie and her daughter were startled, and turned to look at the twin brothers, with a look of helplessness on their faces, and quickly coaxed them to stop crying.
It was already late at night, and a group of people gathered at his home. If the noise continued like this, it was likely to attract neighbors and patrols.
The two little guys were easy to coax, and they just needed a look and a scolding from their mother and sister to shut their mouths obediently.
Then the mother and son sat obediently on the bed, listening to what was going on outside, and they were actually full of curiosity in their hearts.
They didn't know the purpose of Li Te's troubles, but they also knew that Tang Zhen was no ordinary person. He was probably the only hope to save Tianxu City and them.
