"What should we do?" Lolo asked Rob after realizing that Saxe was going to use them as bait. "Should we evacuate from here first?"
Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, was a little surprised to hear that. If it were a year ago, the girl would never give up no matter how dangerous the situation was. So, it never occurred to Rob that evacuation would be one of Lolo's options.
The girl seemed to know what he was thinking, and she was a little embarrassed. "Everyone grows up. I won't give up on finding out the truth of that incident, but I won't be as reckless as I used to be. I know it's a trap, but I still want to jump into it. In the end, I will only hurt the people who care about me. Last time, I was tricked into the church's secret stronghold in Gudilesi by the earring, and my mysterious teacher was injured. I never had a chance to apologize to him.
"Saxe didn't give us the map, but chose to lead the way. Now it seems that he doesn't want us to leave here, but he will never think that there is someone in this world who can memorize all the routes by just walking through it once. Maybe we can retreat first, and then sneak back in after a few days." Lolo was very confident in Roland's memory.
However, she did not expect Rob to shake his head. "I did memorize the safe route from the first to the seventh floor, but it's meaningless. Once the guards' bodies are found, the jailors will realize that the method of passing through the traps has been leaked. They will lock this place down immediately, and at the same time, inform the temple to send people over to rearrange the traps and traps. By then, the people in the tower will not be able to get out, and the people outside will not be able to get in. I estimate that it will take at least two or three months. We can't wait that long, and when the tower reopens, the safe route we mastered before will be useless. So, I don't think it's a wise choice to retreat now."
"But Saxe …"
"The biggest mistake Saxe made is that he shouldn't have chosen us as bait. Those who plot against others will eventually be plotted against by others. This situation may seem dangerous, but it's also an opportunity for us." Rob said faintly, "We can also use them to attract the attention of the jailors, but before that, we must first find a safe hiding place and the whereabouts of Mother Teresa."
The hiding place was to avoid the search. This was the territory of the Temple of Light. Strictly speaking, as long as the prison guards were serious, there would be no blind spots. However, Luo Bu did not intend to hide forever. As long as he could hide longer than Sachs and the others, it would not be difficult to do this because the latter probably did not expect that his purpose would be exposed so quickly, and he would even be caught in a trap.
As long as they hid until Saxe and the others were discovered, they could attract the attention of the jailers. This would also create time for Luo Bu and Luo Luo to kidnap or interrogate Mother Teresa. The leader of the Nightingale Club was a Stage Eight professional, and Ghost was not weak either. Even if they were caught, they should be able to resist for quite a while.
Of course, all of this was based on the premise that they first found Mother Teresa.
"The thirteenth and fourteenth floors are where the ordinary jailors rest. The fifteenth floor is where the warden and a few high-level jailors live, as well as a restaurant and some functional facilities. The sixteenth floor is a bit more mysterious, and no one knows what's on it." Rob got this information from Karina.
"Where do you think Mother Teresa is?"
"Personally, I think the fifteenth or sixteenth floor is more likely. Let's say that she worked for the Pantheon and poisoned her favorite student to death. In order to prevent the truth of the incident from being discovered, she had no choice but to conceal her identity and leave the monastery where she lived for a long time. In order to compensate her, the Pantheon would most likely make her the manager of Orgin or treat her as a VIP here." The future Supreme Magus analyzed.
Lolo clenched her fists. "How can there be such a vicious person in this world? Mom has always treated her like a mother, and dad trusted her very much. He even invited her to our house as a guest and treated her like an elder. But in the end, she did something like that. If I can see her, I must look into her eyes and ask her if she has had nightmares all these years."
Rob's guess was right. The two of them walked from the seventh floor to the twelfth floor, but they did not see Sax and Ghost along the way. Obviously, the two of them were no longer here. However, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor did not panic at all. He had expected this to happen.
After that, he and Lolo ignored Sax's warning and headed straight for the thirteenth floor. The four jailors they met on the seventh floor were considered to be strong among the jailors. Otherwise, they would not have been entrusted with the important duty of guarding the tower. In comparison, the other jailors were much weaker. Most of them were fifth-grade magicians, but they were still not people that a half-baked third-grade magician like Lolo could deal with.
However, the girl's' luck 'seemed to be exceptionally good today. Along the way, she didn't even bump into a single prison guard. At this time, most of the prisoners were still sleeping in their beds. The only one leaning against the corridor didn't react to the two of them because he had already fainted.
"It's not luck. Sax and Ghost just passed by here." Rob checked and found that the unlucky guy who had fainted was still breathing. He opened his backpack and took out a rope to tie him up. After that, he tore off a piece of cloth and stuffed it into the guy's mouth.
"What are you doing?"
"We can't go from room to room to room. It's too dangerous, and we may not make it in time. So the fastest way is to find someone here. If Granny Teresa lives here, the jailors will definitely know about it." The future Supreme Magus Your Honor carried the guy who was still unconscious on his back. The thirteenth and fourteenth floors were the most crowded, and also the places where Granny Teresa was less likely to appear. The two of them did not stay there for long. Instead, they went straight to the fifteenth floor and found an empty room.
This seemed to be a small study. There were bookshelves everywhere, filled with books, most of which were related to theology. Luo Bu casually took two books and stuck them in the gap of the door. This way, the room's soundproofing became very good. Not only was it suitable for studying, but it was also very suitable for interrogation.
