Lolo opened her eyes and found herself standing in a small tavern, surrounded by a group of ferocious-looking men. Her first reaction was to reach for her staff.
"Relax, you're safe here." A lazy woman who looked like a golden cat leaned against the counter and said leisurely.
"Where is this?"
"Gray Rat Tavern," said the ugly woman. She was the first of the three to teleport, but she went to the room upstairs first. As soon as she came down the stairs, she said to Lolo, "We've returned to the surface. Those guys can't chase us here. You can eat something and rest first."
"There's half an apple pie in the kitchen. Do you want some?"
Luo Luo shook her head and politely rejected the female boss's good intentions. She decided to stand there and wait for a certain someone to appear. However, five minutes passed, and no one appeared. The girl's expression changed, and she asked the ugly woman, "Which is the fastest way to get to the Dark Hall from here?"
Lolo remembered clearly that she could hear footsteps outside the cave when she teleported. Judging by the speed of the pursuers, they should have entered the cave by now. However, someone hadn't teleported here yet. Did something happen to him? Thinking of this, the girl couldn't sit still anymore.
"It'll take at least a day to get to the Dark Hall from here. Even if something happens, it'll be too late by the time you get there," comforted the ugly woman. "Don't worry. With his strength, even if something happens to him, he'll definitely be able to solve it."
If she remembered correctly, before Lolo appeared, Rob had already planned to break out of prison. That guy was clearly prepared. It seemed that Carlisle's capture of the two of them was part of his plan. He probably didn't care about the Dark Hall at all. Karina raised her eyebrows.
Karina also raised her eyebrows. "If he wants to leave, no one in the underground world can stop him."
"Why do you say that?" Lolo was stunned when she heard this.
The ugly woman and Karina looked at each other in surprise. From the looks of it, Lolo didn't seem to know the true strength of her companion.
Although she didn't know why Rob wanted to hide it from Lolo, the ugly woman naturally wouldn't tell Lolo everything. She and Karina had a tacit understanding not to talk about what happened outside the tavern. This way, no one could answer the girl's doubts.
Luo Luo wanted to ask more, but in the next moment, Luo Bu appeared in the tavern. Hence, the girl's attention was drawn to him, and she forgot about her previous question. Luo Luo ran up to him and checked him to make sure he was not injured before asking, "Why did you only come now? I thought you were in danger."
Rob patted the girl's head and handed the Elven sword to her.
"This is … my sword?!" Lolo was overjoyed. This sword was one of the few things she brought with her when she escaped from her family. It was the sword of the Bretton family's patriarchs. Karov had always liked this sword and had even asked the dwarven blacksmiths to reforge the hilt. On the last day before he left, he personally handed this sword to Lolo. Therefore, this sword had a special meaning to her.
However, when Lolo understood the Shepherd's strength, she had basically given up on the idea of retrieving it. She didn't expect to find it again.
The Shepherd didn't bring this sword with him when he escaped. Instead, he left it at his residence. When Trillius sent people to look for him, they also brought the sword back. After Trillius admitted defeat, she returned the sword to Rob to show her sincerity. Of course, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor didn't intend to tell Lolo about this.
"I found this sword in a secret room in the northwest corner of the cave. That's why I was delayed." Rob found an excuse and explained why he was late.
Carina took out the bottle of healing potion and half a bag of magic crystals from the cabinet and placed them on the counter. "Congratulations. Since you've found the person, you can take back the reward as well."
However, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor didn't extend her hand.
"Without you, I wouldn't have found her so quickly. So, take this bottle of healing potion as a thank you gift."
The lady boss did not decline. She picked up the small bottle of medicine and looked at the ugly woman with a sweet smile. "Dear, are you still angry with me?"
The ugly girl snorted coldly. Before she could speak, the boss lady waved her hand and the bottle of healing potion flew towards her.
"Since that's the case, take this as a gift of apology."
The ugly girl stared blankly at the bottle in her hand. Without a priest to heal Grimm, even a beginner's healing potion would be extremely valuable. She didn't expect Carina to give such a valuable item to her just like that.
"Do you remember what I told you? Never try to figure out a woman's mind. She loves you as much as she hates you." The boss lady giggled and pointed at the bag of magic crystals. "What do you plan to do with this?" she asked Rob.
"I want to use this to exchange for a way to enter that place." The future Supreme Magus Your Honor pointed at the tower in the middle of Grimm.
"Why, where are you going?" The Lady Boss was a little surprised. She put away the lazy expression on her face and became serious like never before. "That's impossible."
"If the reward isn't enough, we can increase it."
"It's not about the reward. That place is different from the underground. It's the only forbidden zone in the whole of Grimm. The people from the church built this tower to allow the people inside to monitor the situation in the prison. It's said that there's no one in the lower seven floors of the tower, only mechanisms and endless traps. Even a grade eight profession can't pass the first three floors. No one knows what's inside after so many years. If you want to go there, I advise you to reconsider."
"I have a reason to go there." Lolo said seriously. After learning that Granny Teresa was hiding in Grimm, she had discussed this problem with a certain someone — where would she hide in this prison?
Almost all the prisoners in Grimm's prison were caught by the paladins of the church. They had a deep hatred for the temple and would not hesitate to kill all the clergymen in front of them if they had the chance. So even if an ordinary person like Granny Teresa hid here, it was impossible for her to stay with these prisoners. She had to stay in a safe place.
