In the middle of the night, Rob snuck out of the tavern after Lolo was fast asleep.
Before he left the tavern, he saw the ugly woman sitting there, preparing to light a fire. Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, greeted her and tossed the shell he had on him to her.
"The Stockpiler has escaped. I've already asked the guys from the Dark Hall to hunt him down in the underground world. There should be results in three days at the latest. How you deal with him then is up to you. You can use this to contact the woman named Tullius directly. This way, our deal will be considered complete."
The ugly woman nodded. "I'm sorry, I didn't play much of a role before, and because I misjudged the situation underground, you were caught by Carlisle. By the way, how's the poison in your body?"
"I drank a bottle of Healing Potion, and it's no longer a problem." Rob nodded at her, then pushed open the door of the tavern and walked out into the night.
Without any delay, after confirming that there was no one else around, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor decisively activated Phase Shift. Half a minute later, his figure reappeared, and he was already standing under the tower in the center of the city.
The stone tower was more than 50 meters tall, and the black stone bricks looked somewhat ferocious under the moonlight.
It took a hundred and twenty years for the temple to be built in Orgrim, and a third of that time was spent on the tower. It was the sturdiest and safest building in the entire prison.
The shortest stone bricks that made up the tower had a diameter of 200 centimeters, and the foundation was very deep, enough to withstand a considerable degree of impact. After the completion of the tower, molten iron was poured at the bottom. It was very difficult to destroy the tower directly with external force. Moreover, their goal was to enter the tower and find Mother Teresa to understand the truth of the incident. If they really destroyed the tower, it was likely that only a few people inside would survive.
Luo Bu circled around the perimeter and found that, at least from the outside, he couldn't find too many flaws in this stone tower.
After that, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor directly pushed open the door at the bottom of the tower.
Perhaps it was because they were very confident in the defensive facilities of the tower, the door was not locked. As soon as Rob walked in, he saw two emerald eyes.
Malcolm Python, a fifth-grade magical beast. Rob had seen this creature a few days ago in the Kilimanjaro Mountains. It seemed like the Temple of Light had also captured one from nearby to act as a guard at the entrance.
This was not a bad choice. Malcolm Pythons rarely left their territory, and they valued their territory very much. At the same time, they were quite aggressive and would treat all intruders as their enemies. Other than that, they were also very good at hiding, which made them even more threatening in such a dark environment.
Malcolm Pythons were natural-born killers, but it was a pity that it encountered Rob tonight. In front of the future Supreme Magus Your Honor, this fifth-grade magical beast obviously stood no chance.
Half an hour later, Rob arrived at the fifth floor. As soon as he stepped in, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor felt threatened. Compared to the first floor, the traps and mechanisms here were more complicated and dangerous. Rob did not continue up because he could already predict the difficulty of the next two floors based on the situation along the way. Carina wasn't exaggerating.
Karina wasn't exaggerating. The defensive facilities in this tower were indeed very powerful. With his strength, passing the sixth floor wouldn't be a problem, but passing the seventh floor would depend on luck. Luo Bu only had about 50% confidence in passing the sixth floor, but if he brought Luo Luo along, he might not even be able to pass the sixth floor.
It seemed like he couldn't force his way through. He had to think of another way.
Rob had already gathered the information he wanted tonight, so he quietly left the tower. When he returned to the tavern, he did not expect that Lolo was already awake. She was chatting with Ugly Lady downstairs.
"Hey, where have you been?" Ugly Lady asked curiously when she saw him walking in.
"Well, I couldn't sleep at night, so I went out for a walk." The future Supreme Magus Your Honor's expression did not change. "What about you? You must have had a hard time these past two days. Why are you awake so early?"
"What else could it be? Of course, I'm thinking about how to get into the tower." Lolo pointed at the black figure standing outside the window and rubbed her temples in distress. "According to the lady boss, almost all methods have been tried, but until now, no one has succeeded."
"Failure can accumulate experience. At least the people who come after you will know which methods are not working. Think on the bright side, and it will save you time."
While they were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The three of them were stunned and a little surprised. The tavern had been closed for a long time, and it was now the middle of the night. Who would choose to visit at this time?
Ugly Lady got up and opened the door, but there was no one outside. She then picked up a letter on the ground.
Her expression was a little strange. She handed the letter to someone and said, "It seems to be for you."
"Oh?" Rob took the letter and opened it. Lolo moved closer together, but there was only a simple sentence on it. "I know what you are looking for."
"What does this mean?"
"We discussed how to enter the tower in the afternoon at the tavern, and we did not deliberately avoid others. There were many customers in the tavern at that time, so it is not strange that someone knew what we wanted to do. What is strange is why the other party sent this letter to us, and who sent it?" Rob flipped the letter and the envelope over and over twice, but did not find any additional information.
"Maybe I can answer your second question." Ugly Lady suddenly opened her mouth and pointed to the ink stain on the bottom right corner of the letter. "If I am not wrong, this should be Nightingale's mark."
"Nightingale, who is that?" Lolo asked doubtfully.
"It's an organization on the surface. Their leader has met us before." Rob still had some impression of the guy named Sax. After he had shown his power, he was one of the few people who did not avoid them. Instead, he gave them a magic lamp before they entered the underground to show his goodwill. Ugly Lady was a little puzzled.
The ugly woman felt a little strange. If she wasn't mistaken, Nightingale should be here for Luo Bu. When she first saw Saxe, she showed a strong interest in him. Now that she suddenly sent this letter, she really must have some ulterior motives. But why did Saxe specifically choose such a strange time to send this letter? Moreover, the content of the letter was also vague, with only a sentence without any head or tail, "I know what you are looking for."
