Broad World

"Mmmmmmmmmmmm...ah!" The little man let out a strange cry as soon as he came out.

But this situation only lasted for a few seconds. When he saw clearly the members of the caravan, he immediately raised his hands and shouted: "I have no malicious intentions! I swear! Please don't kill me!"

"Ha! A subterranean dwarf kid!" A gray dwarf warrior laughed and kicked the little man's ass.

The gray dwarves are not kind people. Their notoriety in the Underdark is second only to the dark elves, and they like to torture and enslave other races. Some duergar caravans even travel to and from mind flayer cities, supplying slaves and minerals to those octopus heads.

But Carrig clearly has no such ability. He looked up and down at the subterranean dwarf in front of him and said with regret: "It's a pity. Recently, the city of Uster Natha has plundered a large number of slaves from the surface. This guy can't be sold for any good price at all."

"It doesn't matter, even if we can't sell it, we can tie it up first, and throw this subterranean gnome out as bait when we encounter monsters." Another gray dwarf warrior suggested with a smirk.

\u0026? Wan? Book? Right? .nsb.omnbsp; When he heard that he was going to be used as a bait, the little dwarf turned pale with fright, shook his head desperately and shouted: "No! Don't do that! My home is in the north! The village in the distance, as long as you take me there, you will be guaranteed a good reward." You must know that the wild creatures underground are not like those on the surface, and if you are lucky, you may even save a life. The living environment here is very harsh, and food is relatively scarce, so all kinds of monsters are more ferocious, not only have evolved sharp claws, teeth, and shells, but also have a strong appetite. Once caught, I'm afraid they will be killed within five seconds. There is no possibility of escape at all.

Watching the duergars play tricks on the gnome for a while. Henry pushed everyone away with the scabbard, walked up to the front and asked with a smile: "How about it, do you want to play a game with me, as long as you win, you can leave immediately, but if you lose..."

Speaking of this, one corner of his mouth was slightly upturned, and he twitched instantly and swung the long knife fiercely, drawing a line of blood on the dwarf's ten fingers. Then he said in a cold voice: "If you lose, I will cut off all your fingers."

These words suddenly dropped the surrounding temperature to freezing point, and even the gray dwarf warriors shivered involuntarily, with fear and fear inadvertently showing in their eyes. They had never seen a guy who turned his face so quickly. One second he was still talking and laughing, and the next second he was about to chop off his fingers.

Of course, if Henry said this before killing all the patrols, he would undoubtedly be ridiculed and provoked countless times. But it's different now, especially when he was so neurotic and bloodthirsty just now, he has already branded the devil in the minds of these gray dwarves. All of them took a few steps back cautiously to make room. "Excuse me... what are the rules of the game?" The gnome was obviously frightened. There is a vibrato in the voice.

"It's very simple, and it's also very fair. I'll toss a coin, and you guess. If you guess right, you win, otherwise, I win."

As he spoke, Henry took out a gold coin minted by the dark elves from his pocket. On the front was a huge spider, and on the back was the Underground Common Language. Although he really wanted to let the dwarf in front of him go directly, but this didn't match his current personality, so he only needed to play a little trick.

Hearing that it was coin guessing, the gnomes breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly nodded: "Okay, I completely agree."

In any case, this kind of game has a 50% chance of winning, which is better than being fed to monsters or being a slave.

"Very good, then we're going to start now." After speaking, Henry flicked his thumb vigorously, and the gold coin rolled and flew into the air and quickly reached the apex, and then fell quickly, when it was about 1.5 meters away from the ground , he grabbed the coin with his right hand and held the coin in his palm again.

"Now it's your turn, guess."

The dwarf wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth and popped out two words: "Spider!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the hand holding the coin, nervously waiting for the final answer to be revealed. Especially the subterranean gnome, who was sweating profusely all over his body, completely like a death row prisoner waiting for the final judgment.

But Henry didn't open his hand, but laughed and kicked the little dwarf: "Boy, congratulations, you guessed it right, get out."

"On the rock! I'm free! I'm free! Thank you for keeping your promise! Goodbye!" The subterranean gnome bowed excitedly, then plunged into the northern tunnel and ran away without looking back.

"Damn! What a lucky guy!"

"Yeah, I still want to see my fingers cut."

"But it's really exciting. How come I didn't find coin tossing so interesting before?"

"Idiot! That's because of cutting fingers!"

...

The gray dwarves dragged the dark elf's body to an inconspicuous place and hid it while chattering about what happened just now. Apparently, this kind of game of using body parts as a bet completely stimulated their evil hearts, and everyone was extremely excited.

Henry, who was standing aside, had an inexplicable smile on his face, and opened his hand slightly, only to see the side with the Underground Common Language printed on it. He put his hand to his lips, made a hushed gesture to the horrified Kahrig beside him, and put the coin back in his pocket.

Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Nesis leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Great master, why did you let that subterranean gnome go?"

"Part of the plan, it will come in handy later. In addition, you will take those two little devils to watch over this device for a while, and don't let anyone approach it. Someone will come to receive it soon. You take this note first. Come on, I'll hand it over to a guy named Congus later," Henry pulled out a piece of parchment full of small print, folded it, and handed it to the succubus.

"Understood, but how can I tell if the other party is the person you appointed?" Nesis asked, stuffing the note into the bottomless ditch on his chest.

"It's very simple. Congus is a golden skull. As long as you see it, you can recognize it immediately. After you finish this matter, you can act with them. I have some personal grievances that need to be dealt with separately." After Henry finished speaking He ignored the succubus who deliberately put on a seductive pose, and followed the caravan directly to set off again.

The closer he got to Ust Nassar, the more restless he became. Rescuing Allen, taking revenge on Chasma, and forcing the whereabouts of the uranium mine are all very important, and no accidents are allowed at all. The more people who act, the greater the possibility of being found out, so it is safest to be alone.

As soon as the caravan left, Kangus and several liches from the Ring of Truth opened the portal and appeared on the spot. As soon as they appeared, they immediately showed the power of the top undead creatures. Whether it was the strong negative energy or the trembling aura of fear, the two little devils lay on the ground trembling, not even daring to lift their heads.

At this moment, Nesis finally understood what his master said just now. Indeed, it was a golden skull that once seen was never forgotten. Nonsense, who can forget that there must be something wrong with their brains when they see a terrifying demilich.

Resisting the urge to turn around and run away, she took out the note from her chest, bowed very humbly, and offered it with both hands: "Great undead, this is what the master asked me to give you."

Congus didn't speak, and directly cast a mage's hand to poke the parchment, and carefully read the content on it. When he saw that the spherical device was mentioned to be able to capture living bodies, the cold light in his eyes suddenly rose, and then he let out a piercing laugh: "Hahahahaha! Interesting! It's so interesting! What a perfect trap, unique A micro-dimensional prison."

"Boss, this sphere is very valuable for research, and there is a trapped lich inside. If it goes well, we will soon add a new member to our inner ring." Lich Bertram said in a hoarse voice. made his own suggestions.

As a legendary mage of the 28th-level prophecy system, he ranks third in the Ring of Truth after Henry and Kangus. Not only is he powerful, he is also very good at detection and divination, and he is indispensable to the entire organization One of the important members of the group, he speaks naturally and with full weight.

Congus nodded slightly: "That's right, this device must be handled with care. How about this, you first gather three members to transport it back to the headquarters for research, and take down the lich inside by the way. I think there is still It will take several days to do it, so don't worry too much."

"It's a great honor for me to receive such a mission. Please rest assured that I will deliver the phylactery of the Lich inside to you within three days at most." The three members of the inner ring surrounded the sphere and began to chant spells loudly. After a minute, they disappeared in place together with the huge device and the four liches.

Seeing that the target had been safely teleported back to the headquarters, Kangus felt that the purpose of the trip had been achieved, so he turned around and planned to leave. Before he could go far, Nesis's voice came from behind him.

"Please wait! Respected undead! The master said let us follow you."

"Follow me?" Congus had a weird expression on his skeleton face, but he soon returned to normal. He stared at the succubus and the two trembling little devils for a long time, and finally let out a sneer: "Ha! Well, I hope you don't regret it."

At first, the succubus didn't know what the last voice represented, but it didn't take long before he knew the truth.

Seeing the large group of undead creatures around her, Death Eye Tyrant, Death Knight, Skeleton Golem, etc., she instantly felt a piercing chill, and her whole body began to shiver involuntarily. There is no way, the negative energy here is too strong, even creatures like demons can't bear it.

As for those two poor little devils, they have long been shivering and curling up into a ball, trying their best not to lose their body temperature too quickly...
