While Saxe was still wondering which part of the plan went wrong, Rob, who was outside the door, spoke again, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"
The two people in the room knew that the other party was just being polite. They had no choice. Since the other party had seen through their plan, he could easily find a way to inform the prison guards of their whereabouts.
But the good news was that they did have a trump card. Before entering the tower, Saxe only led the way in front of them and did not give them a map with a safe route marked on it. Therefore, without their help, Rob and the others would not be able to leave this place.
Saxe guessed that this was also the reason why the other party came to them. It seemed that the other party had come with the intention of negotiating.
The leader of the Nightingale Club shook his head at Ghost, who was hiding behind the door. Rob came alone, so Saxe thought that Rob was guarding against them. If anything happened to him, his companion, the girl named Lolo, was likely to immediately inform the prison guards of their whereabouts.
In this way, they could not use violent means to solve the problem. After realizing this, Saxe did not hesitate anymore and immediately said, "How could it be? You came at the right time. Warden Flo was about to make tea for us."
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor walked into the room. Flo dawdled for another two seconds, praying that someone would pass by the door. But soon, a dagger was pressed against his back. Flo shivered and immediately closed the door. He looked helpless. These people seemed to have forgotten that he was the owner of this place.
"The second time." Ghost said softly, meaning that this was the second time that Flo had broken the rules. He did not say what would happen the third time, but because of this, Flo was even more afraid. Flo trembled and began to make tea.
"I'm very curious. When did you find out?" Saxe sighed when he saw Rob. His plan was perfect. Except for Ghost, no one else in the Nightingale Club knew what they were planning. Therefore, after thinking about it, he ruled out the possibility of a leak. It seemed that he had underestimated his opponent this time.
"When we first met, I knew that you were planning to take advantage of me." Rob sat down on another chair and said calmly, "When you took the identity card from the corpse, I confirmed it again."
"Since you were suspicious of us from the beginning, why did you agree to go up the tower together?"
"Why not? We're coming up anyway, so we might as well tag along."
Sax sighed. Not long ago, he had been proud of himself for successfully plotting against the other party. But now, it seemed that the other party did not care whether there was a trap in the tower or not. However, it was not without good news. At least Sax could confirm that the other party did not know the safe way to enter the tower. Otherwise, they would not need to team up with him. In other words, although the current situation had deviated from his expectations, he still had a bargaining chip in his hand.
Since that was the case, the next step was to negotiate. Their plan had been foiled, so it was obviously impossible to use the two of them as bait. However, the good news was that Flobie was easier to control than they had imagined. Perhaps they could use him to achieve the same goal.
Sax thought for a moment and said, "I can give you the map, but you …"
"Sorry, you seem to have misunderstood something. We don't need the map. If we want to leave, we can leave at any time. It's just that we have some unfinished business," Rob interrupted. "I'm more curious about your purpose of coming here."
Ghost's pupils shrank. His right hand moved to the dagger at his waist, but the future Supreme Magus Your Honor was faster. A Binding Spell was cast on him. The room was not big. Although Ghost was prepared, he was still in a difficult position when he dodged, and even knocked over a table.
Fortunately, Rob cast a Silence Enchantment in time to ensure that the sound of the table hitting the ground would not reach outside the room. Ghost rolled on the ground and was about to enter stealth mode, but the next moment, he was pulled out of the shadows by a giant elemental hand. His face was full of disbelief, like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on.
On the other side, Sax's arrow was stuck in an ice shield. The latter raised his longbow and shot again as fast as he could, but the latter just sat quietly on the chair. Rob said calmly, "If I were you, I wouldn't make any more meaningless attempts."
Sax's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He finally realized how serious the mistake he had made this time was. He only cared about finding a master to attract the attention of the prison guards in the tower, but he did not expect that the master would cause so much trouble once he was out of control.
But even at this time, the leader of the Nightingale Nightingale did not give up. He straightened his neck and said, "Kill us, and you'll regret it."
"Oh, is this your secret? There's a secret passage in the tower that leads to the outside world?"
Hearing this, Sax's expression changed dramatically. "How did you know?"
Furlow was also surprised. "There's a secret passage in the tower? Why didn't I know? "
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor pointed at Sax's luggage beside the bed.
Sax's backpack was cut open, and the Dragon Crystals inside spilled all over the floor.
Sax was aghast. When did he not notice it? Who was this guy in front of him? He had just been attacked by Sax and Ghost, but he still had the time to cut open his backpack?
After seeing the Dragon Crystals on the floor, Rob understood what the two were planning. Dragon Crystals were worthless, but because of their rarity, they were used as currency. However, this function could only be used in the outside world. In Ao Grimm's territory, the value of a Dragon Crystal was not even comparable to a piece of black bread.
Since Sax was carrying a bag full of Dragon Crystals, there was only one possibility — he was planning to escape.
The two did not go to the tower to find anything, but to escape from the prison. No wonder they went straight to Furlow's room and were indifferent to the supplies on the eighth to twelfth floors.
Luo Bu was somewhat surprised that there was a secret passage in the tower that led directly to the outside world. The temple's prison in the south was built in a hopeless situation. According to the known literature, there was only a small path between the cliffs in Orgreenwich that could be used to enter and exit. However, Merlin had left a back door for himself at the foot of the mountain, and now there was a secret passage left by the temple itself. It seemed that there were more secrets here than he had imagined.
Sax was still trying his best to negotiate with the other party. "We can tell you where the secret passage is."
