When Rob went down to the fifteenth floor, the entire tower had entered a level-one state of alert. All the prison guards in the tower were mobilized. Saxe and Ghost were blocked on the second floor. All the entrances and exits were sealed. However, with Furlow as a hostage, they should be able to hold out for a while.
Rob did not pay attention to the situation there. There were only one and a half people who could pose a threat to him in the entire Ao Grimm region. Warden Crowell was one of them. He used to be the leader of the Second Holy Knight Regiment and was a ninth-grade master at his peak. Even though his strength had been damaged, Your Honor was not confident that he could defeat the future supreme magus. He was also the person that Rob did not want to meet the most.
The other half was Deputy Warden Pemera. She had joined the Holy Knight Regiment earlier and had organized dozens of large-scale manhunts. She had almost never failed. Speaking of which, she was even more famous than Crowell.
However, Rob knew that Pemera's strength could not compare to Crowell's. Compared to Crowell, who was a well-balanced and comprehensive person, Pemera had obvious shortcomings. She was more inclined to command. Her strength was average, and her management skills were not very outstanding. She was also a little stubborn and arrogant.
This was a common problem for most commanders and smart people.
If you did not have confidence in your own plan, how could you convince others to carry it out? Pemera's confidence, or rather, arrogance, was built up over time and time again. It also fostered her superior attitude. She had a strong desire to be in control, and she liked to be above everyone else. That was why she only revealed a small part of the information to those who participated in the plan. Sometimes, even those who worked with her didn't know what her true intentions were.
Her behavior and way of doing things made many people unhappy. This was also the reason why she could not advance to become the leader of the Holy Knight Regiment despite her outstanding military achievements.
In short, these two people were not easy to deal with. It was no wonder that Saxe and Ghost needed someone to distract them and move them away from the room.
To Rob, although Furlow was not welcomed here, his background in the church was not simple. Once he was kidnapped, both Crowell and Pemera would definitely think of a way to rescue him.
This was also the best time to leave Ao Grimm's control.
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor carried the girl to Pemera's room. He didn't encounter any guards along the way. Rob blasted open the door with the simplest and most brutal method.
Pemera's room wasn't big. It was even smaller than Flo's room. The furniture inside was simple. Apart from a bed, a table, and a bookcase, there was almost nothing else. It was easy to search.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor took less than a minute to find the teleportation circle hidden under the bed. However, Rob threw it aside after a few glances. He had no intention of activating it.
A voice came from behind him. "Hey, don't you want to leave this place?"
Rob did not turn around as he said faintly, "I've long heard of Senior's great name. If the passage that connects to the outside world is really in your room, I believe that you would have done a better job. At the very least, I wouldn't be able to find it so easily."
"Oh? It seems that you know me very well, "the voice said with interest.
"But you don't know me well enough. If I were you, I wouldn't have brought so few people to block the door." The future Supreme Magus Your Honor finally turned around. The first person he saw was a spirited old lady with a head full of silver hair. She had an extraordinary bearing, and her eyes were especially piercing, as if she could see through you. She was slightly older than Mother Teresa, but the years of military life, reasonable meals, and strict training made her look like she was in her fifties.
She used to be a high-ranking member of the First Paladin Order. Now, she was the deputy warden under Grimm's rule. She guarded the largest prison in the south with Crowell. Rob could read the ambition in her eyes. Although she was already ninety years old, she did not seem to have given up on climbing up the ranks. Unlike the others, she did not come here to retire. Instead, she wanted to make some achievements and use this as an opportunity to officially enter the top ranks of the temple.
Therefore, when she discovered that there were intruders in the tower, she was not surprised. Instead, she was overjoyed. While most of the people were chasing after Sax and the ghost and rescuing Flo, she quietly returned to the fifteenth floor and gathered some people to set up an ambush here.
This was because Pemera believed that there were more than two intruders this time. The old lady threw the bean-sized object in front of Rob. "This is yours, right? Tsk, tsk. I've never liked you magicians, but I have to admit that your imagination and creativity are really good."
Luo Bu wasn't too surprised that the Miniature Magic Device he had placed there had been discovered. Even though the device was intricately made and easy to carry and hide, it only recorded some low-level spells. It would be easy for an expert like Pemera to discover it.
This was also the reason why Luo Bu didn't leave any detection spells on the latter and Crowell's door. It would only backfire and make the other party realize that there were other people in the tower. But even so, the pea-sized magic device that he hid on the seventh floor was still found by the silver-haired old man.
Should he say that he lived up to the name of the Silver Lion?
Unfortunately, Pemera still made a mistake. She brought too few people to surround Luo Bu. Including herself, there were only four. Of course, Pemera wasn't just being arrogant. Four people was the most suitable number that she had calculated. If there were more people, it would be easy for them to be exposed. The remaining three people weren't randomly brought here, but were carefully selected. They were all rank seven professionals, and two of them were her old subordinates. They cooperated with her quite well. Coupled with her own support, Pemera felt that she was absolutely safe.
Of course, all of this was under the premise that the person they met was not Rob.
Pemera seemed to be very interested in someone and the unconscious girl on his back. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Rob had already made a move.
