The bottom seven floors are filled with traps and mechanisms. If you don't know the correct path, you won't be able to pass through them. The eighth to twelfth floors are warehouses used to store all kinds of resources. The prison guards of the temple live on the upper floors, and they're very safe with the protection of the tower. Every once in a while, they'll open the door and distribute some resources to us to maintain the survival of the prisoners in the prison. They can also use this method to adjust the population of Ao Grimm. They can even use these resources to sow discord between several major forces. Other than that, they'll also monitor the situation of the entire prison from the tower, "Ugly Woman explained.
The lady boss lit another cigarette with a lazy expression. "In the past, when we were extremely hungry, there were people who wanted to steal the resources in the tower to fill their stomachs. Unfortunately, no one succeeded. Most of them couldn't even pass the first floor."
"What about when they're patrolling? Those prison guards can't stay in the tower all the time. They have to come out to patrol. Haven't you tried to catch them while they're patrolling and force them to tell you the way to the tower? "Lolo was puzzled." It's useless.
They usually move in groups of twelve, and they carry tools that can communicate with the tower. Once they're attacked, the people in the tower can immediately seal the entrance and exit of the entire tower. This way, the prisoners in Ao Grimm won't be able to get any food. On the other hand, those guys in the tower have five floors of warehouses, and they have plenty of resources. If this continues, they'll be fine even if all of us die. They can also get in touch with the outside world and ask the temple to dispatch troops to kill us all. Unless they've lost their minds, no one will do anything to them. "Karina shook her head.
Lolo then proposed a few more plans, but they were all rejected by Ugly Woman and Karina without exception. Seeing that it was late at night, the four of them ended their discussion for the day. Karina then invited Lolo and Rob to rest for the night in the tavern. Ao Grimm lacked everything, except for a place to stay. Limited by the lack of resources, the population here had always been small. There were still many empty rooms on the second floor of the tavern.
After dinner, Lolo climbed into bed early. Ever since she was separated from Rob, she had been in a state of tension. She was worried that the latter would encounter an accident during this period. Now that she finally found him, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she quickly fell asleep.
Lolo had a nightmare. In the dream, the two of them finally found a way to enter the tower, but they found an adult dragon inside. Rob was killed by the dragon's breath in order to protect her. The girl woke up from the bed and sat up, only to realize that it was just a dream. It was still dark outside the window.
It was about two or three o 'clock in the morning now. Lolo got up to drink some water. After thinking about it, she still felt a little worried. She stood in the corridor and hesitated for a moment. Finally, she gritted her teeth and reached out to open the door of someone's room next door. However, there was no one inside.
The quilt on the bed was lifted, and Lolo saw light downstairs. So, she walked down barefoot.
The ugly woman was adding firewood to the stove. When she looked up and saw the girl on the stairs, she raised her eyebrows. "Are you looking for that guy?"
Lolo nodded. "Do you know where he is?"
The ugly woman said expressionlessly, "Yes, I saw him enter the boss's room not long ago."
"Oh," the girl said. She moved a chair and sat by the stove, watching the latter cook something on the stove.
The ugly woman was the first to lose her cool. She stopped what she was doing and asked curiously, "Aren't you angry?"
"Why would I be angry?"
"The two of you … are a couple, right? Although Karina is full of bad ideas, I have to admit that she's quite pretty and has a good figure. If she wants to, she can even change her personality to be very likable. There are almost no men in Grimm who don't like her. Besides, she's a very bold and open woman. If someone I care about enters her room in the middle of the night, I won't be as calm as you."
Lolo leaned on the chair, unconcerned. "I know you're just joking with me. Even if he really enters Karina's room, I won't worry because I trust him."
The girl's voice was not loud, but her tone was firm and without the slightest hesitation.
The ugly woman found that she was now more and more interested in Lolo. Previously, her understanding of the girl was only at the target that Rob was looking for. Although the two of them met in the Dark Hall's encampment, they didn't have much time to talk at that time. Moreover, because Lolo's strength was only at grade 3, she didn't pay much attention to her at first. However, as they got to know each other later, she found that this girl had many valuable qualities. These qualities were especially rare in Grimm. The ugly woman couldn't see through Rob, but she was curious as to why a person like Lolo would be captured by the temple and brought here. Looking at her, it seemed like she wanted to enter the tower no matter what.
The ugly woman didn't ask the reason behind it because she knew that if the other party wanted to say it, she would have already said it. Since Lolo chose to keep it a secret, it meant that she had a reason to do so. The ugly woman had no intention of interfering with the other party's decision and continued to add firewood to the stove.
This time, it was Lolo who spoke first. "Did you meet here?"
"Hmm? Oh, he came to the tavern and asked Karina to help him issue a commission to look for you on the surface, and I went underground with him. "The ugly woman said truthfully.
"I remember you said that with his strength, even if there was an accident, he would be able to solve it smoothly. At that time, I didn't have time to ask you what you meant by that." The girl blinked.
The ugly woman's expression was normal. "Nothing. I was just afraid that you would run back in a hurry, so I said that to comfort you."
"Is that so?" When Lolo heard this, she still had some doubts in her heart. "But … at that time, the lady boss seemed to have said something similar."
"That woman often gets herself drunk. You don't have to worry too much about what she said." The ugly woman took out a spoon, scooped a spoonful of the pot, put it under her nose, and nodded in satisfaction.
"What is this?" Lolo's attention was attracted by the thing in the pot. It seemed that the ugly woman had been cooking for a long time, and only a shallow layer of gelatinous substance was left at the bottom of the pot.
"Red glue. When applied on the skin, it can conceal the aura emitted by the body. As long as you hold your breath, even a ninth grade profession won't be able to discover your existence. In a sense, this thing can be considered as a specialty of Ao Grimm." The ugly woman took out a small bottle, filled it, and handed it to Lolo. "For you."
