Knowing that the logistics base of the hero team was below, Angel knew that he would definitely meet others. What Angel didn't expect was that the first person he met was the same as Ke Luo... no, even smaller than Ke Luo.
The little one is a little girl who is not as tall as everyone else's knees, and is estimated to be under four years old. Her first hair seemed to be uncut, long and soft, falling naturally on her shoulders, and paired with a small emerald skirt, adding a touch of bright color to this somewhat gloomy passage.
The little girl stopped not far away, her fair little face full of doubts. Given her age, she already had a vague feeling that the presence of a stranger here didn't seem to be a good sign.
Angel and others continued to move forward, while the little girl backed away step by step. Finally, when she reached the corner, she stuck out her head and peeked curiously and timidly.
"If such a young child is brought into the ruins, the bottom line of this heroic team is not very high." Doakes said lightly.
"At least she is in the same safe rear as the Cole just now." The one who spoke was Angel, and he didn't mean to make a point, but he had seen too many separations between life and death. Compared with this sad ending, these children, At least I can still be with my loved ones.
Besides, if there weren't some twists and turns in the story, their parents wouldn't deliberately bring their children to the ruins to make a living.
"Is it really safe?" Doakes raised an eyebrow and asked.
Angel glanced at Doakes, then turned his head silently: "That's just right. If there is danger, it means we have found a passage to the underground sewer."
"Why are your thoughts jumping so fast? I'm just talking. Could you think of me again..."
Before Doakes could finish what he said, Angel was the one who said, "I'm just following your words, and that's all. Who knows if there's any danger in it? After all, none of us have The prophetic wizard.”
Doakes' words were stuck in his throat, and he suddenly didn't know what to say. He could only let out a somewhat suppressed breath, and deliberately used his fierce eyes to scare the little girl hiding around the corner.
Doakes's eyes were originally full of evil, even if he was pretending to be fierce, it was very effective. Especially for such a little girl who is already afraid of ignorance.
Hearing only a burst of crying and a milky voice calling "bad guy", the little girl ran deeper.
Angel glanced at Doakes: "Boring."
Doakes grinned, showing his big white teeth, and said nonchalantly: "If she dares to come to the ruins at such a young age, she still has to be exposed to the dangers of the world."
Even his friend Vai couldn't stand what Doakes said and his behavior of bullying the little baby. She stared at him with disgust and silently stayed a few meters away from him.
Although Vai could not speak, his actions said it all: I am not familiar with this scumbag who bullies children.
Doakes still didn't care, he didn't really bully her, so what's the big deal if he scares her.
When Doakes was thinking this, he soon knew what the "big deal" was.
I saw a group of about ten adults approaching menacingly from a distance, most of them women. They also carried various "weapons" in their hands, not the kind of long guns and thin swords, but some such as kitchen knives. , long-handled spoons, rolling pins and other weapons.
Judging from this posture, it is probably Doakes' retribution for bullying Little Baby.
When Angel was thinking this, as expected, he heard the woman across from him loudly asking: "Are you the ones bullying little Shirley?"
"No, Aunt Mary, you should ask who they are!"
"I don't care who they are. If they bully little Shirley, they'll take a spoonful from me." Yes, the fat aunt holding the long-handled spoon as a weapon is this Aunt Mary.
"Stand back, let me ask you what the chatter looks like." At this time, a rickety old man smoking a pipe came over from behind everyone and looked at Angel and others.
This old man looks thin and hunched, but his cloudy eyes are very fine.
While everyone else was angrily attacking Angel and others, the old man had discovered something strange.
For example, there seems to be an extra hand on the shoulder of a certain red-haired man on the other side?
There was also a guy in a black robe, holding a stone slab with both hands, which seemed to be a nose, and judging from the movement of the nose, it looked like a living creature.
Apart from these two people, the other two people also had their own extraordinary qualities, which immediately reminded him of a certain type of person.
wizard.
In the outside world, the existence of wizards is a hidden legend, but for people like them who live in dangerous ruins, they know that wizards are real.
When the old man was young, he saw a witch riding a broom and flying in mid-air.
Fortunately, the wizard seemed to be in a hurry and didn't care about them below. Otherwise, a group of them would have been lost by then.
After all, wizards killing people and even blackmailing have happened here.
Facing other adventure groups, they can fight to the death, but facing this kind of extraordinary life, even if they put all their lives in, it is not enough for others to have a little finger.
The old man didn't know if the person opposite was an extraordinary person, but there was nothing wrong with having good intentions.
"What are you doing so aggressively? Put away those pots and pans. It's not embarrassing." The old man turned around and scolded everyone, then his expression changed and he looked at Angel and the others with a smile: "I'm sorry. You are seeing a joke. That’s it, we heard from little Shirley that when guests come to visit, we come out to see what’s going on.”
Regarding the old man changing the word "bad guy" in Little Xueli's mouth to "guest", everyone behind him showed obvious incomprehension and disbelief. But this old man seems to have great authority in the hero team. Even if he says this, no one dares to object.
"We don't even know who we are, so we just say we are guests. You, the little old man, are quite interesting." Doakes's tone of voice was not polite at all. After all, Doakes must be older than the old man opposite. If you love the young, you can barely do it, but respecting the elderly? impossible.
"I don't know where your distinguished guests are from?" The old man was not angry and asked in a friendly manner.
Doakes still wanted to speak, but Angel pulled him back, walked forward directly, and said to the old man: "Answer me a question first, can you be the speaker here?"
The old man did not hesitate and nodded: "My name is endless. I have forgotten my real name. Everyone calls me old man endless. I founded the hero team more than forty years ago, but I am old now, and the adventure group has been handed over to young people. Yi Yi, just handle some chores at the back."
Old Man Fuxiu, the former captain and founder of the Hero Team.
After Angel confirmed that this person could be the speaker, he raised his right hand without hesitation, and a green light came out from his fingertips and penetrated into the old man's eyebrows.
The old man immediately froze on the spot.
After a few seconds, he slowly came back to his senses. At this time, there seemed to be some more information in his mind. After reading it carefully, Old Man Fuxiu roughly understood the intention of Angel and others.
In fact, the general direction is the same as the hero team's goal, which is to explore the ruins, but they plan to start exploring from the hero team's rear base camp, this underground building.
If this request were said directly, even the old man would probably think it was an insult. After all, this is their logistics headquarters, a confidential place where food, water and rest are all located here.
If a visitor wants to explore this place, it is like a stranger suddenly breaking into your home and telling you: I want to search all the rooms in your house.
Saying this will definitely cause outrage.
But Angel's move made Old Man Fuxiu and everyone behind him afraid to act rashly.
Everyone could clearly see the green light emanating from the fingertips. They were not inexperienced people, so they guessed with a quick thought that Angel was probably the legendary wizard.
This made everyone look a little frightened. If the opponent was just a member of the ordinary adventure group, they would not be afraid due to the friendly relationship that the hero team has maintained for many years. But facing the extraordinary, let alone these old, weak, women and children, even the heroes With all the main members of the team here, it’s probably a feast.
"Dear Sir, I already know your purpose of coming. I wonder if you can allow me to discuss it with the others first." The old man said with a bow.
Angel: "If you still have to wait for all the members of the hero team to come back before discussing it, we can't wait that long."
Old Man Buxiu: "No, I'll just talk to them. They are all family members of the hero team members, and they can represent the opinions of others."
Old Man Buxiu pointed at the person behind him and said.
If you just talk to the group of people behind you, it doesn't take much effort, and Angel doesn't mind spending a little more time on it.
After all, underground buildings are also other people's "homes". Even if it is temporary, you should talk to the owner first.
Of course, if the master is not there, Angel can go straight in without any burden.
When the old man returned to the crowd behind him and began to discuss with others, Doakes came close to Angel and whispered: "They all used illusions anyway, you might as well cast an illusion on them to make them ignore us. It would be nice if it existed.”
Angel: "The method you mentioned is fine, but if I really do it, I always feel like someone will do something weird."
"What's the meaning?"
Angel: "For example, peeking at others taking a shower, or bullying children."
Doakes was stunned for a moment and showed an angry look: "I would never do such a childish thing!"
Angel glanced at him doubtfully: "Did I say it was you? Don't take it personally. By the way, is it childish or not to scare children?"
Doakes was still struggling: "That's not to scare her, it's to teach her about the dangers of the world."
Angel chuckled and did not continue. Yes or no, Doakes knew in his heart that this guy was always the first to watch the show and get the most out of the show, and he was the most enthusiastic when it came to having fun.
Seeing that Angel was ignoring him, Doakes probably felt a little aggrieved and actually approached Vai.
Oh, no, it’s the Black Earl.
"Lord Black Earl, do you think Angel is too lazy to do these useless things?"
The Black Earl snorted coldly and did not respond.
Just when Doakes thought that Earl Black, like Angel, was not going to pay attention to him, Vai suddenly said: "My master asked me to tell you: I set the rules from the beginning. After entering the ruins, everything must be obeyed." If you have any objections to Lord Wei’s command, then turn around and leave.”
Vai's words were a bit clumsy. Obviously, the Black Earl's original words were not so peaceful. As a translator, Vai could only polish them himself.
"Even Lord Black Earl is turning towards Angel. It's really boring... Hey, Vai, can you speak now?"
Vai nodded: "My master just unblocked me, but asked me to stop talking nonsense. If I hear nonsense again, I will be blocked again."
"That's it..." Doakes rolled his eyes, as if he thought of something fun, and said to Vai, "We have nothing else to do now, let's just chat."
After a while, Doakes showed a satisfied smile as he watched Vai being silenced again.
Vai was on the verge of tears. He knew Doakes' conspiracy and refused directly. However, Doakes talked about topics that only interested him, and he also deliberately said the wrong words. He couldn't help but pick up the conversation. , the next second, his mouth was sealed.
At the same time, the Black Earl was still sneering at him in his mind.
Watching Doakes walk away with a smile on his face, Vai could only grit his teeth and endure it for now.
After about two or three minutes, the old man finally came over.
They thought their conversation was very quiet, but Angel and others could actually hear it. So in the end, they already knew it.
Rather than saying that the old man had discussed with them in the past, it would be better to say that he had persuaded them in the past.
Most people accepted the old man's persuasion, but there were still opponents.
For these opponents, Old Man Fuxiu suppressed all the objections on the grounds that he was powerful and that the other party was a transcendent person and would implicate everyone if he disagreed.
After making sure that everyone agreed, the old man came back.
"What's the result?" Angel asked, pretending not to know.
Old Man Buxiu: "Dear Sir, before telling the result, can you allow me to ask a small question."
Angel glanced at the old man endlessly and said directly: "Ma Qiusha and his son Keluo are in the cellar outside. You can go find them at any time, but the cellar door has been sealed by me. We will not be able to find them until a week later." Open."
What the old man wants to ask is Kelo.
Everyone knew that Kolo went to the cellar to wait for his mother to come back. Otherwise, little Shirley wouldn't have thought it was Kolo who had returned.
Unexpectedly, Angel directly guessed what he was thinking.
"Any more questions?" Angel looked at the old man.
Old Man Buxiu: "No, as for the result of our discussion, I believe you already know it if I don't tell you."
After finishing speaking, the old man got out of the way, and the group of people behind him also moved out of the way.
"If you like something, you can take it away at will. I just hope that you will try not to damage everyone's residence."
Angel: "I will restrain myself."
After speaking, Angel took the lead and walked forward.
