"I just killed your companion, but you don't seem angry?" Rob didn't answer Tullius' question. Instead, he asked with interest.
"There's no such thing as companions in the underworld." Tullius pointed at the wolf head and then at the spider. "The two of them have been enemies for a long time, but for the upcoming war, they can now work together. But this doesn't mean that they like each other. Since you've met Shadow, you should know that he's not a very likable fellow. Besides, we've always only worked with living people." Tullius pointed at the wolf head and then at the spider.
The meaning of Tullius' last sentence was very simple. The underworld had always been very realistic. Benefits came first. If Shadow was still alive, the Dark Hall would naturally stand up for him. However, the latter was already dead. Compared to how to avenge him, Tullius was more concerned about how to avoid the possible trouble that might appear next.
She was a very rational woman. The Dark Hall had three managers in name, but in reality, the Stockbreeder didn't really care about anything. Shadow was only responsible for capturing people. Only Tullius was truly responsible for ensuring the operation of the Dark Hall.
Her mind was the clearest among all of them. From the scene in the cave, she had already roughly restored the previous battle process. This guy who came out of nowhere and his two companions had snuck into the Dark Hall for some unknown reason. Fortunately, they didn't intend to stay here for too long. After achieving their goal, they were prepared to leave through the Teleportation Portal. However, they didn't expect Shadow to suddenly descend from the sky and destroy the Teleportation Portal, stopping the last person. After that, the two sides exchanged blows.
At first, Shadow was full of confidence. However, when they really started fighting, he realized that the other party's strength was completely beyond his imagination. At that moment, it was too late for him to escape. In just a few minutes, he lost his life … Oh, that's not right. From the marks on the ground, the battle was shorter than expected. Furthermore, it was one-sided. Tullius almost cursed out loud. Was he crazy? If the other party wanted to leave, just let him go. Why did he look for trouble? Not only did he lose his life, but he also left such a big problem here.
Tullius was very worried now. She didn't like the Stockbreeder, but she had to admit that the guy was indeed the most cunning among them. Furthermore, his judgment was very accurate.
He had met with the man in the morning, and it was clear that he had discovered something during that meeting. However, he did not seek out the higher-ups of the Dark Hall to discuss a countermeasure. Instead, he had escaped by himself. That meant that in the Stockpiler's opinion, even if all the people in the Dark Hall worked together, they might not be able to defeat the man.
Tullius no longer had the time to ponder why such a powerful fellow would infiltrate the Dark Hall.
Rob put away the magic carving knife in his hand. The teleportation portal had been repaired and replaced with a new magic crystal. He could leave at any time, but he was not in a hurry. After confirming that Lolo was safe, he could use this opportunity to do something and fulfill his promise to the ugly woman.
"Where's the Cattleman? Why isn't he here?" Your Honor, the future Supreme Magister, asked the woman in front of him. He could tell that she was the leader of the trio.
Tullius was stunned, unable to react. So this fellow was here for the Stockpiler? But didn't they meet before? Under normal circumstances, that would be the best time to make a move.
However, she did not let the doubts in her heart show on her face. Instead, she asked in a deep voice, "Why are you looking for him?"
"I thought you guys don't care about his life?" Rob raised his eyebrows.
"Indeed, we don't care about his life. However, he is one of the three leaders of the Dark Hall after all. We can't just watch you cause trouble for him." Tullius took a deep breath. "Moreover, Odin will be back soon. When that time comes, even Your Honor won't be able to leave easily."
"Is that so?" Your Honor, the future Supreme Magister, did not deny it.
"You guys from the surface don't know how powerful Odin is." The man named Wolf Head coldly snorted. "I always thought that our group was already very strong, but it wasn't until I met Odin that I realized that a person can be perfect to such an extent. Boy, if I were you, I'd run away now, while it's still not too late."
"But I've already killed one of the leaders of the Dark Hall. Will Odin let me go?"
"You don't have to worry about that. As long as you leave this place immediately and promise not to cause trouble for the Dark Hall in the future, I will help Odin plead for you." Tullius said. "I am also one of the leaders of the Dark Hall. He will be willing to listen to my words."
"He sounds like a very reasonable person." Your Honor, the future Supreme Magister, smiled.
This smile gave rise to a bad premonition in Tullius' heart.
"There's no such thing as Odin," Rob said calmly.
"What are you talking about?" Tullius' expression changed.
"Actually, when I heard Carlisle talk about Odin and the Dark Hall, I was a little puzzled. However, I didn't think too much about it. It's not without reason that the underground world has never been unified since its birth. It's not because no one has the ability, but because no one has the will. The title of ruler of the underground world might sound good, but it doesn't have any practical meaning."
"The so-called rule is built on the foundation of order. Considering the harsh environment and the extreme lack of resources here, there is no soil for order to survive. A stable social structure is destined to be unable to last long here. This has always been my biggest doubt until I met Cattleman. He told us about the underground world's imminent destruction and finally solved my first doubt."
"There is a reason for Odin's appearance, but the timing is a little too coincidental. Not long after the water source was discovered, this name suddenly spread in the underground world. After that, it took him less than two years to unify this place. Everything seems to have happened naturally."
"What are you trying to say?" Tullius' voice trembled.
