Lolo finally got the news about Rob and the little golem, but she did not expect it to be bad news.
If the two people outside the cave were not lying, then Odin and the little golem were now in Carlisle's hands.
In fact, when Lolo first heard the news, she had believed most of it. The other party did not know that there was someone in the cave, so naturally, there was no need to lie. After being separated, Lolo had been trying to find Odin, and she was sure that the guy must have been doing the same thing.
With Rob's insight and reasoning ability, it was normal for him to find Carlisle first. He had probably heard about Carlisle's neutral identity, but he did not know that the underground world had been unified, so he did not expect Carlisle to suddenly turn against him.
At the thought of this, Lolo's heart suddenly sank.
She only hated herself for wasting too much time and not coming earlier. Otherwise, she could have saved Rob and the little golem from Carlisle.
If she had subdued that woman earlier, if she could have found the map immediately, if she had been a little faster … maybe she would have been able to make it in time. Unfortunately, there were not so many ifs in this world.
Lolo forced herself to calm down, not letting her chagrin and regret hinder her thinking. The girl told herself in her heart that there was still a chance, and there was no need to rush.
After repeating this sentence three times, she calmed down again and began to think about her next move. The other party treated Rob and the little golem as spies sent by the underground world. On the positive side, this meant that the two of them would at least not be in danger before they got what they wanted.
On the negative side, in order to pry open their mouths, the underground people would certainly use all kinds of means. Sometimes, death was not the most terrible thing. Lolo knew that she had to hurry.
The girl waited for the two people outside to leave before she moved the boulder that blocked the entrance of the cave. She crawled out of the cave and spread out the map. She had heard about Odin from the woman before. According to her, before the appearance of Odin, the underground world was chaotic and disorderly. There were masters like the Stockpiler, but none of them had the ability and prestige to rule the entire underground world.
Unlike the surface, resources were scarce here, and there were too many places to hide in the tunnels. Even if someone stood up and gave orders, if they did not want to listen, they could just find a place to hide.
There were many people with such ideas in the underground world. Even the most powerful master could not do anything to so many people, because it was impossible to find them one by one, and no one would listen to their orders. Naturally, there was no rule.
So after so many years, people in the underground world still lived their own lives.
Then, this guy called Odin suddenly appeared. His identity was very mysterious. He had only appeared in the past two years. No one had heard of this name before, but his rise was extremely fast. It was so fast that most people did not have the time to understand him. Many people had not even seen his appearance before.
But one thing was for sure, anyone who had offended him in the past two years would lose their heads by the third day at the latest.
No matter where you hid, and how many friends you had, you would become a corpse after three days. No one was an exception. So, Odin's reputation gradually began to spread.
After that, he subdued a few of the top masters in the underground world, including the Stockpiler, and killed two troublemakers who had always been against him. Finally, no one in the underground world dared to disobey his orders.
Every word he said became an iron law. Even people like Carlisle, who had sworn to remain neutral, had to submit to him. But even after unifying the underground world, Odin's whereabouts were still a mystery. He rarely showed up in front of people, and it seemed that he had been busy planning a counterattack against the upper echelons.
Fortunately, he also created an organization called the Dark Hall to help him maintain his rule of the underground world. The center of the organization was set among the rocks in the west, which was very close to the Stockpiler's territory. When Odin was not around, he and two other masters would manage the Dark Hall.
Carlisle must have taken Rob and the little golem there.
The place was not far from here, only half a day's journey. Lolo found the area marked with the word "dangerous" on the map, determined the direction, and hurried there.
"You must wait for me," Lolo said in her heart.
…
When the ugly woman saw the rocks, the expression on her face became very strange. There was fear, hatred, and a trace of indescribable complex emotions in the middle.
"Have you been here before?" Rob asked, noticing the change in the former's emotions.
Both his and the ugly woman's hands were tied, and the other end of the rope was in Carlisle's hand. In other words, both of them were now prisoners of the latter.
"Hehe, she didn't just come here before. She grew up around here." Carlisle's voice came from behind, full of schadenfreude. "How is it? Does it feel good to be home?"
The ugly woman was silent for a while before she said, "When this is over, you will regret the choice you made today."
Carlisle's expression changed when he heard this, but he immediately returned to normal. He snorted coldly. "Ugly, you can't even protect yourself, and you dare to threaten me? You'd better think about how you are going to catch up with your teacher when you meet him."
"Teacher?"
"Hah, before this, there has always been a saying in the underground world that the dreaded Livestock Breeder has also failed. Back then, a little girl scratched her face before she was turned into a lamb and successfully escaped from him. She was also the only prey that managed to escape from the Livestock Breeder." Carlisle said leisurely, "Speaking of which, you were quite famous in the underground world during that time.
"Speaking of which, you were quite famous in the underground world during that time. Because of that, many people did not dare to mess with you. You were not even a professional at that time, but you always seemed to be able to find food. However, few people knew that the reason you were able to escape was not because you were strong or lucky, but because the Stockkeeper did not guard against you at all. He never thought of turning you into a lamb, but raised you as his successor. He trained you from a young age, taught you how to observe and deal with enemies, and planned to hand over this livestock farm to you after his death. He never thought that you would escape."
