Snapped!
With a burst of explosions, the last red earth dragon lizard standing had its head chopped off.
Except for Louis, who completed the tactical experiment, and Olivia, who proved that the destructive power of her magic has skyrocketed, the expressions of the others did not change much.
Chris squatted down, put his hand on the red earth dragon lizard, and closed its eyes.
He hesitated for a moment and said:
"Something is wrong. These red earth dragon lizards seem to be..."
Crean was stuck for a moment and said directly: "It's coming directly to us..."
Kriya scratched his iron helmet: "Big brother, second brother, what should I say?"
Chris/Krian:…
The three brothers looked at each other, and finally Chris said:
"As you know, the Steel Soul Style likes to explore people's weaknesses. When these monsters were fighting us, they didn't focus on us at all."
"Huh? To be precise..."
Chris nodded, his eyes subconsciously staying on Louis and Olivia for a moment.
Louis nodded: "I noticed, their murderous intention towards me seems to be real."
Then he stole a glance at the cygnet.
Little Swan looked at him with wide eyes: "Why are you looking at me?"
Well, apparently Little Swan didn't even notice that she was among the people targeted by the monsters in the dungeon.
Finally, the head maid spoke: "This is not important, but at least it shows one thing. The Thieves Guild may not understand the situation of the underground ruins."
For a while, the investigation seemed to be at a deadlock.
Suddenly, a red earth dragon lizard on the ground squirmed.
The dragon lizard who had unlocked the achievement of [Chickenless Talk] suddenly jumped up, dragging his heavy body, rushed directly into the darkness, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Finally moving."
Louis murmured softly.
Alice smiled and said: "You are so greedy for monster materials, but you would let go of monsters that are within easy reach. What kind of conspiracy is there?"
"What is a conspiracy? How can adventurers' things be called a conspiracy?" Louis snorted and said, "...and I don't want to let them go."
Louis didn't notice at all that the corner of his mouth was raising an obsessed smile.
It was a sincere smile like a devil bewitching people, or like a hungry beast smelling blood.
For him who is burdened with [Mortal Sin: Greed], what kind of situation would make him voluntarily give up the materials at his fingertips?
The answer is of course...in order to plan for more and more valuable materials hidden behind the scenes.
How about "greed"?
Louis said calmly:
"Under what circumstances do you think a monster would be able to squat in the darkness in an orderly manner, like a prostrate hunter waiting for its prey to enter?"
William frowned.
The iron guard's instincts made him uneasy.
Suddenly, the head maid raised her head.
There was a sound of distant or near footsteps slowly coming from the darkness, and an old voice came:
"Of course when the real leader emerges among them."
Under the illumination of the green lighting technique, one could vaguely see pairs of green eyes appearing in the darkness.
One, two, three...
A stalker stepped out of the shadows.
Those with the lowest level are all at LV8 level.
The old man with the highest rank... Louis actually felt the aura of Captain Geno in him.
Lumi glanced at him and said, "Haisen Bansha, I haven't seen you for a while."
A somewhat thin old man walked out of the shadows:
"For half-elves, it's been a while, but for me, it's been 7 years. Long time no see, Lumi."
Lumi nodded calmly and said to several people:
"This is Haisen Bansha, the current president of the Thieves Guild, and I am an acquaintance."
President Haisen touched his beard and said with a smile:
"If you hadn't arrived, we wouldn't have realized that our home was about to be robbed. It's so shameful, so shameful!"
Lumi showed an unexpected expression of disgust:
"You are really embarrassed this time. There are so many things pouring into your lair and you didn't even notice."
Haisen blew his beard and stared:
"What can I do about this? You don't know how big these underground ruins are. It's good that we can clean up areas A1 to C4."
Lumi snorted coldly:
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you have discovered during this period. Don't tell me that it has only been 60 years and all your skills have been lost in the underworld."
Little Swan tugged on the hem of her maid's clothes, "I'm very curious" written in her eyes.
Lumi hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just an acquaintance."
Haisen said with a dissatisfied look: "That's too much. After all, we have fought together as a member of the brave team."
Louis: "Huh?"
Olivia: "Huh?"
Others: "Huh?"
There was a stalker in the darkness who also looked confused and said, "President, have you ever seen a brave man?"
President Haisen said proudly: "What do you mean I've seen him before? I've chopped him before!"
Little Swan also looked shocked, turned to look at Lumi, and suddenly said:
"Sister Lumi, how old are you?"
duang~
The little swan covered her head and squatted down.
The head maid said expressionlessly: "18 years old."
"Sister Lumi, a half-elf is not 18 even when he is an adult..." Little Swan closed her mouth quietly at the smiling expression of the head maid, "Sister Lumi is 18, I'm sure."
She added in her mind: "18 years and more than 30,000 days, right?!"
Little swan, I'm scared.
Sister Lumi is so scary today.
President Hessen didn't say a word, just stroking his beard and snickering.
But obviously he didn't dare to touch the maid to get moldy.
Louis hesitated for a moment, and finally asked:
"What about this generation of brave men?"
The main reason why he asked this question was that he was a little worried, wouldn't he be visited by a brave man after his identity as [Sin of Greed] was exposed in the future?
After all, God knows whether the Western Fantasy Heroes will have that kind of bullshit "must be the enemy of evil" operation.
Carrying the sin of greed, he is indeed a heinous sin in a sense.
Then, what responded to him was Lumi's silence,
"The brave man is dead."
Haishen Bansha said calmly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore, Lumi. I'm asking you to help me again this time."
"The area of the underground ruins is comparable to that of Tino City. It's not that easy for us to find the monsters hidden here."
"What's more, as you know, the deepest part of the ruins is a restricted area designated by the Emperor."
Lumi nodded: "We will do our best here, as you say..."
President Haisen said: "I asked my deputy to lead the people to continue searching. The underground ruins have not been so lively for a long time. If I say, I will follow you together. You won't mind it."
Several people looked at Louis subconsciously.
Louis' helmet tilted slightly: "What do you want me to do? Let's all decide together!"
…2 minutes later…
The members of the Thieves Guild have scattered.
President Hessen, who was leaning on crutches, followed them and continued to the deepest point.
As the group of people walked quickly in the darkness, Alice said in a deep voice:
"The dungeon is thousands of miles away from the ruins. If special monsters appear here, either someone deliberately put them in, or something happened in the dungeon and they were directly teleported in."
"We have to be faster and win quickly."
She looked at Louis and asked, "Can you still sense the direction where the dragon lizard is moving?"
Louis said: "Yes, Rimuru is still following it quietly, and it still has the steel needle I inserted on it."
The steel nails that pierced the dragon lizard's flesh entangled Louis' magic power.
Both Rimuru and he were able to detect the whereabouts of the dragon lizard with their innate magic perception.
Only the little swan's expression became more and more subtle.
"No, this direction is completely different from the direction of the ancient portal in my memory!"
