"Shall I go in by myself?"
Li Yi glanced at the closed door, looked at Bree, and then looked at Mott.
"Well, my father doesn't like to be disturbed. He is usually meditating at this time. I don't dare to disturb him. As for you, it's up to you."
Bree had a smile on her face and her meaning was clear.
I'm only responsible for bringing you here. It's up to you whether to enter or not.
"Okay, I'm going in."
Bree's smile froze instantly.
Before he finished speaking, the giant opened the door and walked in without hesitation at all.
It wasn't until the door slammed shut again that Bree came back to her senses.
For a long time, he looked at his personal guard. This time he used his honorific title, which also moved Mort's heart.
"Uncle Mort, what is the origin of this giant?"
Seeing Bree's respectful look, Mott couldn't help feeling proud.
He understands.
Now it's time to fulfill his role as a guide.
"They are people from another world. No one knows how they came to our island, and no one knows what the purpose of his coming here is."
"All I know is, he's strong!"
There is another sentence that Mott did not say.
He was even able to fight inextricably with Rayleigh, the darkest warrior, and even had the upper hand for a time!
But saying this is equivalent to admitting that he is not as good as Rayleigh.
As the guard and guide for the future successor, Mott did not want to leave the impression that he was weak.
Isn’t this equivalent to not saying anything at all?
Bree curled her lips, seemingly disapproving.
Mott seemed to see what he was thinking, and then said something else.
"However, my master, your father, was able to subdue this giant. He even accepted your father's mission and went to the Island of Death!"
What!
Bree's original disapproval was immediately replaced by a hint of fear.
Although he has never been there.
He hadn't even been to the ground.
But in his past knowledge, the Island of Death was a taboo.
A taboo subject that couldn't be ignored, but he was there.
Wait!
He seemed to have just come back from outside?
It seems like you just landed on the island?
"So he just came back from the Island of Death? I remember it is said that there is no return to that place, right?"
Brie suddenly thought of something and asked quickly.
Although he didn't want to admit that the other party was strong, the facts were before his eyes, and Mott had to admit it.
He smiled reluctantly, as if he was trying his best to keep his indifference on his face.
"Well, yes, he will come back now. He should have returned from completing the mission to Death Island. Only the old patriarch knows the details."
After hearing what Mort said, Bree suddenly wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation between the giant and his father.
"Huh? Master, where are you going?"
"Don't worry, just guard the door for me."
"Hey, Master, don't! Alas..."
…
"You're back."
Facing Li Yi, who was two heads taller than him, the old patriarch remained unmoved even though he was the first person in history to return from the Island of Death.
It didn't seem to move him.
This is the powerful aura of a former superior.
Even though he knew that the man opposite him was very strong, he saw with his own eyes that this man was indistinguishable from his former strongest guard.
The old patriarch didn't have a trace of fear or fear.
It wasn't until the man said something that he was shocked.
He actually knows everything!
"You don't have to do this with me. I'm here to hand over a task. I guess you didn't expect that someone would come back to hand over a task to you, right?"
Faced with Li Yi's aggressive attitude, it was unexpected.
The old patriarch actually admitted it.
"Yes, I am indeed surprised that you can come back, but this also shows that I have good vision, doesn't it?"
Li Yi sneered when he heard this.
"Haha... you have good vision, indeed, but now that I'm back, have you considered fulfilling your promise?"
"Of course."
The old patriarch agreed immediately without thinking.
But then he suddenly froze and looked at the other party with a very blank look.
"Um...what did I promise you back then?"
Li Yi:......
Have you even forgotten it?
No wonder you looked so surprised when I came in just now.
So you never thought I would come back!
"Didn't you say at the beginning that as long as I could complete the task of transporting contaminated materials, you would tell me the secrets of the world you know, and that I could stay here forever? Is that what you said?"
After saying this, Li Yi obviously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other person's face, but because of the many wrinkles on the other person's face.
It's hard to spot this if you don't look carefully.
"So that's the case, then I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how to deal with these mountains of pollutants."
From the moment he came in until now, the old patriarch finally showed a smile.
This is because in his opinion, the deal seems to be a good deal.
It's just some old things collected out of boredom.
As for a long stay, it couldn't be better.
The water monster attacked the city, and he had a high-level combat force to help him.
This is a good thing that you can’t find even with a lantern!
Thinking of this, the old patriarch's previously dull face suddenly burst into a smile.
His face changed so quickly that he didn't expect it.
"Come on, come on, follow me."
As he said this, without seeing any movement from him, he saw a wall in front of him suddenly open, and the lights inside also turned on.
Li Yi narrowed his eyes slightly but did not speak.
He was listening to Xiao Jin's opinion.
"Boss, this is probably where he hides his private property. You have to be careful."
Li Yi looked confused.
"Why?"
"As far as I know, the people of the Heilongjiang tribe are very stingy. Although most of them are warm and polite on the surface, they actually don't allow others to take advantage of them. If this place is really where he hides as I said, If the treasure’s location is secret, he will never disclose it to an outsider like you.”
"You mean there might be danger? This guy let me in but didn't intend to let me out?"
Li Yi frowned slightly and quickly glanced at the old patriarch. What he saw was the old man's old face that was almost smiling like a flower.
It doesn’t even look like it!
Picture what?
I had just helped him complete so many dangerous tasks, and all I wanted was to take a look at the truth behind the world.
He didn't even demand to know everything.
Just tell me what you know.
As for staying for a long time, doesn't he know that the water monster is about to attack the city?
The old patriarch must know!
In this case, it seems that the other party does not have to pay anything at all to gain such a powerful fighting force like him.
Why not?
He didn't believe that the old patriarch would not think of this.
He even thought he could think of it.
Wait!
If he really thought that he could think of this (this sentence is a bit awkward, it means that since the old patriarch can think of the protagonist and knows about the monster siege, then he has no reason to stay), then why does he stay here permanently?
Is it because you are overconfident in your own strength?
You know, even Rayleigh didn't get much benefit from the battle with the sea monster.
The human body size, especially the body size of the blackened dwarves, not only has no advantage when dealing with the huge sea monster, but it will become extremely difficult.
It's like when a person faces a flying mosquito, he probably won't consider the mosquito's combat effectiveness.
When you find a mosquito, the first thing you think of is to find it and slap it to death, right?
Yes, in Li Yi's opinion, the sea monster probably thinks so too.
The monster siege announced by the system is actually pointing out the location of the water monsters so that they know where the mosquitoes are.
Therefore, Xiao Jin also announced very "intimately" that only by raising the city level to the strategic level will the monsters' attention be attracted.
In other words, if you do not reach the level, it is equivalent to installing a stealth radar on yourself, and you will not be "patronized" by sea monsters.
This is not only the protection of some weak forces, but also a method to strengthen the cohesion and strength of the forces themselves.
Because there is no sea monster siege, in addition to safety, it will also mean that the force that has not been patronized will lose a large amount of sea monster corpse materials, as well as various supplies...
This kind of benefit can enhance the strength of a force in disguise, but any force leader who is sensible and understands analysis will not miss this.
"Come on, come in! Don't you want to see the truth about this world? What are you waiting for?"
The old patriarch walked in first with a smile and waved to Li Yi.
Smiling like a demon tempting people to sin.
