Holding the "golden map" that had not been used for a long time, Artolis quickly found the underground casino's den in the city. Just like the casino where the financial master behind the scenes was in Kelrot, it was quite hidden. Stopping, Artolis raised her head and looked at the entrance of the casino. The dilapidated door looked lifeless. Without the guidance of the golden map, she would never have guessed it, and she would not have been able to find it so easily.
At this time, there were still people coming in and out, which meant that there was nothing wrong. Thinking about it, Artolis tightened her clothes and hat, wore the mask she had prepared in advance, and after making sure that her appearance would not be seen, she headed towards the casino. Went inside.
As a lawless area, this underground casino is really a gathering place for all evil. The decayed and dirty environment really resembles the style of hundreds of years ago. When Artoris stepped into this place, she had the wrong feeling of returning to the human world, but compared to that, this place was even worse.
"This smell is so unpleasant." The rancid smell of unknown origin came from the corner of the corridor, making Artolis almost nauseous. Although the casino in Kelrot that I first entered was very different in nature, at least it was not as harsh as the environment here.
"Get it done as soon as possible, and then leave. I can't stand it even more than you." The words from the Wolf King in his mind conveyed the disgust and reached a consensus with Artolis.
"Yeah" Artolis nodded.
The corridor leading to the underground was extremely long. Just as Artolis was chatting with the Wolf King, a down-and-out drunkard passed her by, but the man was swaying unintentionally. He bumped into Artoris's shoulder.
"You kid, be careful when you walk, are you looking for death?!" The other party breathed alcohol and put all the blame on Artolis as soon as he opened his mouth.
He seemed to be just a drunk who had lost all his money. Artolis didn't want to pay attention to him at all, and his words were really excessive. He couldn't even tell his gender. Was he so poor in figure? !
The visitor saw that Artolis ignored him and was about to leave. The negative emotions that had been accumulated so far exploded at that moment, and he cursed at Artolis's back: "You bumped into someone and you still want to run away without apologizing? If you don’t give me an explanation for this matter today, don’t even think about leaving!”
After hearing what he said, Artolis stopped. She could guess that the atmosphere in the casino would be bad, but she never expected it to be so bad. Even a little bastard with nothing dared to point fingers at her like this. In that hell, all the suffering sentient beings, all their sins were based on their own minds.
Turning her head, Artolis revealed her breath and glared at the man with sharp eyes: "Do you... have any objections?"
Originating from the red lotus flower, the karma generated by the fire of karma is more murderous than anger. Although the karma attached to her body continues to erode Atoris's luck, it can also be used by her to hide herself. The evil spirit of emotion.
With a filthy heart, he was the primary target of karmic attacks. Being suppressed by the fourth-turn aura, and receiving such a glare from Artoris, the arrogance of the visitor suddenly disappeared, and he fell to the ground.
Not wanting to pay attention to the other party, Artoris turned around and took another step, walking deeper. She will not succumb to any target that is hostile to her. In such a sinful place, kindness will become her weakness, so she must not expose her weakness.
This is the central area of the casino. The smell of low-quality drinks hits your face. There are several drunkards lying on the old-style bar, and several people on the gaming table inside are still managing their own chips.
"Have a glass of ale." Artolis lowered her voice, sat on the empty seat in front of the bar, and greeted the bartender.
She had never known the inside story of this place, and all her impressions of the casino were just what she saw and heard in Credos and in the memory of Ethereal Voice. But compared to that place, the casino in front of her gave Artolis a worse impression.
"Here's the ale you ordered."
"Thanks!"
After receiving the drink from the other party, Artoris did not drink immediately. The Sundanese wind spreading around her body conveyed the surrounding situation to Artolis. She was here to cause trouble, so she naturally had to pay attention to the possible fighting forces around her.
Shaking the wine glass, Artoris gradually formed a picture in her mind through the information conveyed to her through the Sunda Wind. The few sleeping in front of the bar and most of the people at the gambling table only have Rank 2 strength. Only a few standing in the corners, next to powerful people and beside the toilets have Rank 3 or higher cultivation, but those who have reached Rank 4 Just the two muscular men in the boxing ring in the casino section.
If a fight really breaks out, Atoris alone may not be able to deal with so many people at the same time. Especially the combat power of the two fourth-level fighters in the boxing ring. If they act together with the Wolf King, they may be able to withstand the opponent's attack, but Artoris does not want to expose her and the Wolf King's identity.
And there is another place that Cangmu Xunfeng cannot detect. It is a door, which is protected by a strange barrier, making it impossible for Xunfeng to pass through. As a result, everything inside becomes unknown, and your actions are likely to be hindered by this.
Having drank Ukiyo flower tea before, Artolis was not afraid that the bartender might poison the drink she ordered. Although the other party had no reason to do so, Artolis believed that she still could not take it lightly.
While thinking about the battle plan with the Wolf King, Artolis drank ale, her eyes always looking around. She must find a good time, Artolis thought so.
"If you act rashly, you can probably guess what will happen in the end." Just as Artolis was thinking about it, the words that suddenly came from beside her surprised her.
Sitting next to her was a young man who looked about the same age as her but had a thin face. The boy threw an empty wine glass at the bar and ordered a glass of bad wine to drive the bartender away.
"What are you talking about?" Artolis didn't understand what the other party meant. He seemed to be talking to himself or giving a warning to himself. And it was only at this moment that Artolis noticed the message Xunfeng conveyed to her. The door protected by the barrier had opened at some point, and there was only a young but elegant woman sitting inside. What surprised her even more was that the boy sitting next to her also walked out of that room!
"Your dress and behavior are different from those guys." The boy said.
"So?" Artolis lowered her voice and asked in a slightly mature tone.
"I can guess what you are thinking, but you need to know that force cannot solve the problem here. A gecko with a broken tail can grow a tail again, and you alone are not enough to pose a threat to them." The young man said with a serious smile. Said in a calm tone.
"..." She didn't know what the young man in front of her wanted to express. Artoris only knew that her actions seemed to have been exposed before she even started. The other party's words were already very clear, it was a tactful warning from the other party. It was her fault. She should have known that her outfit was indeed too eye-catching. When you observe others, you also become the target of others' observation.
"I need your help!"
"?!" The other party's sudden words made Artolis unable to recover for a moment. Watching the other party cast a sincere look at her, Artolis frowned slightly.
"What do you mean?" he asked in surprise.
"We are not enemies. You and I have the same goal, so I hope to cooperate with you to achieve our goal."
