"I really don't know anything, my lord …."
The grey dwarf was still pretending to be innocent, while Fangzheng just glanced at him indifferently.
"Think about it carefully. You still have one hour and fifteen minutes. If you haven't answered my question by then, you don't need to answer any more questions."
"…."
The grey dwarf once again lowered his head, drenched in sweat. For a moment, he did not know what to say. Of course he understood what Fangzheng meant. It would only take one hour and fifteen minutes to reach the city of the dark elves from here. In other words, if he had not met the young man's request by the time he arrived at the city, he would be dead for sure!
"I, I really don't know about the situation with the dark elves, my lord."
The grey dwarf swallowed his saliva and said softly.
"I only know that the dark elves seem to be on some important operation recently. They don't even let others enter the city easily. Even merchants like us have to spend a lot of effort to enter the city."
"What important operation are they on?"
"How would I know, my lord?"
At this point, the grey dwarf finally let go of his guard.
"Since it's come to this, I'll be honest with you. As you can see, I'm just an ordinary merchant. I've indeed done some business with the dark elves, but I'm not curious about those dark skinny fellows. The secrets of the dark elves are fatal poisons. If I really know their secrets, I won't be able to go back alive! "
"Then let me ask you another question. Did you see any surface elves in that city?"
"Well …."
Upon hearing this, the gray dwarf frowned again, but this time, Fangzheng didn't say anything else. Instead, he swung his hand, and the next moment, a resplendent gem hit the gray dwarf's head. The grey dwarf's eyes widened in surprise when he received the beautiful gem. He stared at it carefully, then rubbed it hard. Then, he suddenly smiled.
"Well, let me think …. Yes, we did. In fact, we saw a lot of elves. They were all captured and brought to the First Family's encampment. We were also curious about what those dark skinny fellows were up to. But … we didn't dare to ask about that. After all, it's a matter of the dark elves. Some people said that the First Family wanted to collect these elves for some kind of ritual …. That's really all I know! "
"Alright."
Fangzheng shrugged when he heard the grey dwarf's answer.
"Then just pretend that's all you know."
As he spoke, Fangzheng took out a bag and tossed it to the grey dwarf.
"This is for you. You can leave now."
"R-really?"
The grey dwarf was excited when he heard Fangzheng's words.
"Of course, you can take one Earth Beast with you. I'll buy the rest."
Fangzheng expressed that as a paladin, he naturally could not take a single needle or thread from the masses. Even if he wanted to take it, he had to pay!
The grey dwarf no longer cared about his losses. The gem Fangzheng gave him just now was enough to make up for his losses.
Although earthen beasts were relatively difficult to obtain, as long as he could successfully return to Greystone City, he could obtain a higher status with this large sum of money. By then, he would no longer need to risk his life in the Underdark like he was doing now! Although it was difficult to obtain an Earth Beast, as long as he could successfully return to Gray Stone City, he would be able to obtain a higher status with a large sum of money. At that time, he would no longer need to risk his life in the Underdark like he was doing now!
But for the residents of the Underdark, wealth was never a problem. What was important was that they had a life to take and a life to spend! But for the residents of the Underdark, wealth was never a problem. What was important was that they had the life to take and the life to spend!
He did not know who these strange surface adventurers were, but he was sure that they were definitely not ordinary people who came here for sightseeing!
With that thought in mind, the grey dwarf hurriedly bowed respectfully to Fangzheng, then jumped onto the earthen beast at the back with his short legs, then turned around and left. He looked as if he was afraid of being stopped by them. Before the girls could react, the grey dwarf had already disappeared into the depths of the tunnel on the earthen beast.
"He's leaving just like that?"
Seeing the grey dwarf turn around and run away, the girls could not react for a while. After a while, Hu Tao scratched her head and asked in confusion.
"The underground residents aren't very courageous. We're obviously going to cause trouble, so of course he won't follow us."
As he spoke, Fangzheng took out the "Banner of Wrath" and began to investigate the situation of the dark elves. Because of the divine barrier of the Goddess of Order, he could not use the Omniscient Angel to investigate the Guardian Device. Then, the dark elves should be …
"F * ck!"
"What's wrong? Brother Fangzheng? "
Seeing Fangzheng's unlucky look, Hu Tao looked at him curiously.
"Nothing, I just feel that …. It doesn't look good on either side."
Fangzheng closed the "Banner of Wrath" in his hand and could not help but sigh.
The reason why Fangzheng cursed out loud was because just now, when he used the "Banner of Wrath" to investigate the situation of the dark elves, he discovered a problem.
The "Banner of Wrath" could not reveal the mastermind behind this matter.
With the power of the "Banner of Wrath", it could only be a god that could not capture information. And there was only one god behind the dark elves.
That damned female spider? What is she trying to do by doing this?
Staring at the incomplete information in the "Banner of Wrath" in his hand, Fangzheng frowned.
If he remembered correctly, the Goddess of Order once told him that all the god-level existences in this world, or rather the gods worshipped by various races, such as the God of Dwarves, the God of Elves, and the Demon King of Hell, were actually the local races of various planets that the Goddess of Order brought with her when she fled from the impact of the waves of Chaos.
These gods were in fact the existences of these races whose power surpassed that of mortals and had reached the level of "Guide".
Not only that, the Goddess of Order had also tried to use the Mark of Order on these gods, but without exception, they all failed. That was why she placed her last hope on this world, on the humans who coexisted with Chaos.
Although the Goddess of Order did not say it too clearly at that time, Fangzheng was sure that the "gods" of various races definitely knew the truth about the Goddess of Order.
If that was the case, why did the dark elves want to destroy the guardian device of the Goddess of Order?
The dark elves were not a race of Chaos. According to the records that Fangzheng saw in the White Tower, although the dark elven society was abnormally evil according to the civilized values of humans, it was still a civilization of Order. Why would they want to destroy the guardian device of the Goddess of Order?
But no matter what, since the matter involved the gods, it would not be so easy to solve.
At this thought, Fangzheng could not help but frown.
It seemed that he had to choose a better plan to solve this problem this time. ()
