The development of things was somewhat beyond Linge's expectation.
The chasing lizard men did not take action as soon as they came up, but stepped out and gave him a strange salute, then took off the hood on their heads, revealing gray scales.
If Ringer knew anything about the culture of the lizard people, he would have known that the etiquette just now was an action that would only be used when facing important people.
Even so, he noticed enough respect from the other party's actions. Surprised, he suppressed the magic power that was about to stir in his body and decided to take a look at the situation first.
"Your Excellency, we are not here to cause trouble, but to find the missing prince. You are the last human to come into contact with Prince Lieyang. Please tell us where the prince is now. We would be very grateful." Gray Scale Lizard Man State your purpose.
Linge was a little surprised. He looked at the group of lizard men in front of him. They all had unfamiliar auras, and there was no familiar aura that had followed him before.
And among the lizardmen, there was a short figure that attracted his attention. The other lizardmen kept a certain distance from him, but guarded him in the center.
Although the man was shrouded in a large gray robe, deliberately covering his body, he still had one and a half claws exposed, and the color of the scales was also bright red.
He was a little unsure of the other party's identity and tentatively said:
"How do I know you are not assassins sent by his uncle."
"Ah, you have indeed met His Highness the Prince." Seeing Lin Ge reveal that the assassin was sent by the Prince's uncle, Grayscale and his party were even more sure that he had met Prince Lieyang.
"Please rest assured that we are not assassins. We came here specifically to protect His Highness after learning that someone was going to assassinate His Highness."
"That's it," Lin Ge said noncommittally, "then don't worry, your prince is safe now and living a happy life. When the time is right, he will naturally come back."
The red-scaled lizard man hidden under the gray robe waved, and two more lizard men came forward, carrying a large wooden box filled with jewelry and placing it in front of Ringer.
Gray Scale understood and saluted again: "As long as you tell us where His Highness the Prince is now, these jewels will be our gratitude."
Lin Ge looked at the large box of jewelry in front of him and wondered whether this was a new method of assassins, or whether they were really another group sent to protect Prince Lieyang.
He glanced at the red-scaled lizard man hidden under his robe again, and had an idea in his mind.
"I can only tell you that he ended up going to a bar called 'Emerald'. If you want to know his current whereabouts, you can go there to inquire."
"What? That rumored mysterious tavern?" Grayscale, who was closest to Ringer, seemed to have heard of the name of the Emerald Bar and showed a surprised expression.
"You know?" Lin Ge was a little surprised.
Because Nilu once said that people without qualifications will not have any impression of this store in their hearts even if they see the Emerald sign.
Could it be that the plain-looking gray-scaled lizard man in front of me also has the qualifications to enter the Emerald?
"I heard about it when I was inquiring about it in the Adventurer's Guild. I heard that it was a non-existent tavern, hidden on a busy street. Anyone who could find it would be able to taste the mysterious wine in it that transcends everything else in the world. "
Only then did Ringe realize that the advertisement he had made on a whim in the Adventurer's Guild that day had turned into a rumor full of mysterious meanings.
The news must have come from the group of adventurers who failed to find the location of the Emerald Bar that day.
From this point of view, even if an unqualified person cannot obtain a direct impression of the emerald, the situation will be different if it is indirectly relayed by others.
"Yes, that's right there. Your Royal Highness is hiding there." Linge confirmed.
"It's ridiculous. We treat each other with courtesy and sincerely ask for advice, but you use baseless rumors to prevaricate us. You simply don't take us seriously."
Ringer looked behind him, and it was the short lizard man who spoke. The voice sounded like a female lizard, oh no, it should be a girl lizard. The other person's voice sounded very girlish, full of vitality, and of course angry.
"What I said is true. If you don't believe it, forget it." Lin Ge spread his hands slightly and turned to leave.
"Stop!" A coquettish voice came from behind.
Linge stopped helplessly, turned around, and found that the lizard girl was chasing after him.
She had taken off the hood on her head, and her bumpy face was covered with ruby-like scales, which were fine and neat. There was a pair of pink sharp horns on her delicate head, which was inexplicably cute.
"Miss Lizard, what else can you do?"
"You can't leave until you tell him his whereabouts!" The lizard girl's green eyes were as bright as gems, and she stared angrily at Ringer.
Lin Ge's tone turned cold: "I have already said that he is in Emerald. If you want to find him, you can go alone."
"Who knows if that tavern really exists, unless you take us there." The lizard girl glared at him.
"I don't seem to have this obligation, right?" Ringer glanced at the lizard girl in front of him, "And you are so close to me, aren't you afraid that I will suddenly stop you?"
The lizard girl was startled and quickly distanced herself. The surrounding followers also gathered around nervously. She suddenly felt confident and gave the order: "Capture him!"
Lin Ge suddenly laughed. The other party was treating him politely and brought out a box of treasures, which gave him no reason to take action. Just when he felt it was a pity, he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to stretch his face out for him to hit.
It's a good time, just in time for me to test my current strength.
The lizard men behind the lizard girl surrounded him, and with the sound of gold and iron rubbing against each other, they all pulled out the stainless steel scimitars at their waists. The bright blade caught everyone's attention.
Hui Scale, who spoke earlier, was more polite and said with a knife: "We don't want to hurt you, we just want to know the whereabouts of your highness."
Ding!
Suddenly there was a soft sound in Hui Scale's ears, and his vision blurred. The Hundred-Refined Scimitar in his hand was missing, and the sharp tip appeared in the opponent's hand.
Lin Ge held the tip of the knife between his fingers, smiling as if he had never moved.
"Come on, if you can beat me, I will take you to Prince Lieyang."
"superior."
In less than a minute, all eight lizardmen with swords drawn were lying on the ground, leaving only the lizardman girl with an incredible look on her face, looking at the embarrassed entourage on the ground in a daze.
Ringer is very satisfied with his new power. The strength of these lizardmen is not inferior to that group of assassins, or even stronger. He once had to escape when faced with the siege of lizardmen, but now he has the strength to easily deal with them, even if they are With bare hands.
The attacks that were once extremely fast and deadly in his eyes have become extremely slow and non-threatening. He can use any method to get out of the way, or launch a fierce counterattack and kill with one blow.
But he didn't do that, he just fought them off.
Because this group of lizardmen may really be here to help Prince Lieyang, but he is not sure yet. He plans to ask him by the way when he goes back to find a new house during the holiday tomorrow.
