Todd's mind went blank. Of course, he wasn't really brave. He just thought that Penina wouldn't dare to do anything to him. But now, Li Huailin said that Penina would really dare to do anything to him. Brother, aren't you trying to trick me? This is worse than being hacked to death!
"Did you hear that?" Penina said with a smile. She didn't know why Li Huailin didn't lie to Todd. He probably knew that it was useless. After all, even if Li Huailin lied to Todd and said that he wouldn't dare to do anything to Todd, Penina would have done the same. That was why Todd admitted that it was useless. Of course, no matter what the reason was, at least Todd was terrified.
"Gulp." Todd gulped and looked at Li Huailin. "Lord Ruolin … what … what should we do now?"
"Oh, there's nothing we can do." Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "It seems like we can only sacrifice you … Live a great life and die a glorious death. Don't worry, your wife and children …"
"Don't … Don't … Don't attack, Lord." Seeing that Penina was about to attack, Todd was terrified. "Lord Ruolin, I can't take it anymore."
"Huh? You can't take it anymore? No, you're just terrified, right? "Li Huailin said as he rubbed his head.
"…" Todd was speechless as he looked at Li Huailin. His eyes seemed to be saying, Do I look like I want to take it?
"You should have said so earlier. I thought you were stubborn and wanted to take it," Li Huailin said.
"His bones are especially tough …" Tolde was speechless. "His chest is as big as Lord Lin's …"
"Oh, since it's like this, you have the final say. What else can we do?" Li Huailin said as he spread his hands.
"Huh?" Todd was stunned. Say it directly? Is that even possible?
"Yeah, it's not like it's anything important. It's just about where the Mystic Dragon is. I think it's fine to tell her. It's not a big deal. I thought you were just being stubborn and wanted to try to extort a confession from her …" Li Huailin said.
"…" Tolde was speechless. He wanted to see what it was like to extort a confession through torture. Was he a masochist? To be honest, if it wasn't for the current situation, he really wanted to complain. But was it really okay to spread the news? He didn't know why Penina wanted to ask about the Mystic Dragon's location. He just felt that he shouldn't say it casually. That was why Li Huailin didn't care.
Just as he was feeling strange, he suddenly thought of Li Huailin's words and understood. Yes, when Li Huailin said that it was just the location of the Mystic Dragon, Todd immediately understood. Indeed, telling Penina where the Mystic Dragon was wasn't that important. Without the Holy Sword, it was impossible to defeat the Mystic Dragon. Even if you told him, wouldn't it be useless? Wouldn't it be sending him to his death?
Indeed, Tolde understood now. That was exactly what Li Huailin was trying to say. He wanted to send his opponent to his death. Without the Holy Sword, even if Penina found the Mystic Dragon, she wouldn't be able to defeat it. Wouldn't this solve the problem?
Thinking until here, Todd calmed down. It turned out that there was such a solution. Seeing that Penina was about to make a move, Todd hurriedly said, "Okay … I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
"Huh?" Penina showed a trace of doubt. Yes, of course, she didn't understand why Li Huailin seemed to be speaking up for her. Although she could make this NPC suffer and reveal the Mystic Dragon's location, it would still take time. Li Huailin and the others should have already set off, so wouldn't it be better for them to stall for time? So, why did Li Huailin want to save time for her?
There must be a conspiracy. This was Penina's first reaction, but what exactly was it? Penina didn't know yet, so she asked Todd, "Tell me, where is the Mystic Dragon?"
"The Mystic Dragon is on Dark Island in the east. That's his lair," Todd immediately said. Of course, he was telling the truth.
"Dark Island?" Penina recalled. Yes, she remembered the previous map. The east of King's City was indeed the sea, and there seemed to be some islands on the sea. She didn't know which one was Dark Island, but she should be able to find it after a short search. But … To be honest, she didn't believe it.
"Really?" Penina asked. Yes, she was starting to suspect that this was Li Huailin's plan. He wanted to put on a show, then give them a fake address and let them search for the Mystic Dragon. Of course, the goal was to stall for time. Although their flying speed was fast, the island in the east was still very far. It would take a lot of time to get there. By the time they found the wrong location and returned, perhaps Li Huailin and the others would have already defeated the real Mystic Dragon.
"It's true, it's true," Todd immediately said. Tolde immediately said, "The demon dragon's nest is on that island. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone else. Many people know about this."
This time, Todd was very confident. He didn't feel guilty at all because the Mystic Dragon's lair was really on that island. He didn't lie. He just didn't tell them that they couldn't defeat the Mystic Dragon without a holy sword.
Although Todd sounded very confident, let alone Penina, even Lorez revealed an expression of disbelief. Yes, if it was only Todd, they might have already believed him. But the problem was that Li Huailin was here. He couldn't just sit back and watch, right?
"You …" Lorez wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was suddenly stopped by Penina.
"Okay, we believe you," Penina said. "I'll go and ask someone else now. If I find out that you're lying, I believe you won't be able to accept the consequences."
"Eh?" Lorez was slightly taken aback. He looked at Pena with a questioning expression, as if to say, "You believe me so easily?" But when he saw Penina's expression, he understood, so he didn't say anything.
"Okay, I know. I really didn't lie to you," Todd immediately said. Of course, he really didn't lie.
"Okay, let's go." Penina nodded. She looked at Li Huailin and started to retreat. Lorez also pulled Hero up and the two of them took two steps back. Then, they jumped and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
"They … they left." Tolde, who had just been put down, was still in a state of shock.
"Your Majesty, they should have left." The soldiers also searched the area, but they didn't see the two of them. So, they should have left.
"Phew …" Todd let out a long sigh and looked at Li Huailin. "Lord Ruolin, who are those people? Why are they asking about the Mystic Dragon's location? "
"I don't know." Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "I met them once. Their target seems to be the Mystic Dragon as well. As for their goal, I don't know."
Of course, Li Huailin was just spouting nonsense. But Todd naturally believed him. Now, no matter what nonsense Li Huailin said, Todd would believe him.
"Those two are too terrifying …" Todd said. "I thought I was going to die. But why didn't they attack me?"
"I don't know either, but I saw that the other party couldn't kill people. I discovered it before," Li Huailin said. "But I don't know why."
"I see. Maybe they are religious people with special beliefs or something," Todd guessed. Todd casually guessed. "Fortunately, they've already left. Besides, they don't know anything about the Holy Sword."
"That's right. Fortunately, His Majesty Tolde reacted quickly and understood what I meant." Li Huailin said. "Otherwise, if they found out that they had to obtain the holy sword to defeat the Mystic Dragon, it would be troublesome. Now that they went to the Mystic Dragon, they could only send themselves to their deaths."
"That's right. Fortunately, the broad-minded Lord Ruo Lin reacted quickly and reminded me." "Now, even if they ask others, the result will be the same. Many people know about the Mystic Dragon's location, but not many people know that they have to obtain the holy sword to defeat the Mystic Dragon. I don't think they will get this information. "
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded. "Actually, I came back to guard against them. Previously, they were asking about the Mystic Dragon, and now they have appeared. Since this problem has been solved, I will continue to the west side of the lake to look for the holy sword."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Todd nodded. He didn't notice that Li Huailin emphasized the location of the lake. He only thought that Li Huailin explained his purpose.
Of course, Todd didn't stop Li Huailin. After all, Li Huailin still had to follow the Hero to slay the Dragon. So, he quickly said goodbye to Li Huailin. In a corner beside the palace, three figures were watching the direction Li Huailin left.
"Indeed, there is a plan. We actually need to obtain a tool to defeat the Mystic Dragon. Fortunately, we are smart," Lorez said.
"We will follow him secretly," Penella said after some thought.
