The tall, skinny man took the map and examined it carefully. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he put it away.
From the expression on his face, the Quasi Magus deduced that this guy already knew about the guardian. Since he dared to stop them here and asked for clues, it was obvious that he already had a way to deal with the giant lizard.
However, after the transaction was completed, the expert team did not leave in a hurry. The tall, skinny man looked at the young man and raised his eyebrows. "You're the guy who won more than sixty bets in the camp last night?"
"Uh-huh? Why are you looking for me? "
"Didn't you know? This morning, everyone in the camp was talking about you last night. The more they spread, the more bizarre it became. They described you as a sea monster from ancient legends, with three heads, six arms, and nine eyes. To be honest, this made me curious …"
"So?"
"So I came here. Other than trading information, I also wanted to see what the legendary guy looks like. Sure enough, those guys in the camp always like to exaggerate. The famous God of Gamblers turns out to be just a small follower, following a master who looks like he's picking up junk. Haha, forgive me for saying this, but it's mainly because the equipment you two are wearing is just too dazzling. "
"Wait a minute …" Luo Luo turned her head and asked the Magister, "Did he just insult the two of us?"
"I think so."
"But it seems like we can't beat him yet," the rookie The Brave said regretfully.
"It's okay, I can help you write it down first. The underground city is so big, maybe we'll meet again someday," the Quasi Magus said lightly.
"That makes sense." Lolo nodded. "As expected of Mr. Tobias's student. What you say always makes sense."
"Are you threatening me?" The tall, skinny man seemed to have heard something funny.
"Enough." Captain Hansen finally couldn't help but say, "Your Honor has already gotten what he wants. Why must you be so aggressive? If you really force us into a corner, we'll just fight to the death. You may be able to kill all of us, but I can guarantee that at least half of Your Honor's side will die."
At this moment, a black-clothed woman in the lanky man's team who was dressed as an assassin also said, "Raúl, stop fooling around. Let's get down to business."
The mage named Raúl shrugged. "Boring. Forget it. Let's go."
But before he left, he went up to the rookie The Brave and her little attendant and whispered, "All the best. I'm looking forward to our second meeting."
"Oh? What a coincidence, me too, "the youth said lazily.
If Raúl's gaze was like that of a venomous snake, and people who looked into his eyes would feel like they were being targeted by prey, then Rob's gaze was indifferent, and you couldn't see yourself in his eyes at all.
Speaking of which, it was quite annoying. The super talented quasi-magus had entered the ranks of the true masters of the Dawn Continent at such a young age, which made him uninterested in the intrigues and schemes among the junior adventurers.
The indifference in his eyes was 100% natural and did not contain any preservatives.
Whether it was Hilton or Raúl, their provocations were no different to the future supreme magus Your Honor. In Rob's eyes, these guys were just a bunch of mosaic with the ID of a passerby. The quasi-magus didn't take their threats seriously at all.
But of course, he still had to return the verbal attack back to her.
After Raúl's group of four left, Lolo immediately grabbed the little attendant's collar and said in an unfriendly tone, "Why did you steal my lines?"
"Huh?"
"I'm your boss, so I should be the one to say the tough words at the end. Don't make your own decisions in the future." Although the girl's words were fierce, she was actually worried about the youth. She was afraid that he would be targeted by a master like Raúl, who didn't look like a good person. Lolo didn't care. After finishing this job, she would go to the Academy of Magic to study. However, she thought that Rob would live in Ryan in the future. If that guy came out and caused trouble in the small town, the little scholar would be at a disadvantage.
"Mm-hmm," Rob agreed, but it was obvious that he didn't take her words to heart.
After this incident, the team purposely stayed for another half an hour to make up for the time difference with Raúl's group. Every level of the underground city was vast, and the destination of both parties was not the same. Logically speaking, the chances of the two teams meeting each other was very small, but Hansen was worried that the other party wouldn't keep his promise.
After all, no one would complain about having too many secret treasures. Although Raúl swore that they were only taking what they needed in this deal, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't change his mind halfway and ambush them near the entrance, wanting to take the other two clues as well.
In fact, if this really happened, Hansen wouldn't be too surprised. The underground city had never been a good place to respect the old and cherish the young. Here, the binding force of morality and law was unprecedentedly weak, and strength was the key to everything. In such an environment, the evil hidden in human nature would be infinitely magnified.
Captain Hansen and Edward both had experience adventuring in the underground city before, and they had a deep understanding of this. On the other hand, Lolo and the others were absolute rookies. As for Rob … The Quasi Magus Your Honor had a similar experience before, but that was with Steins, Demain, and the others in the internet café. The situation was too advanced, and it didn't have any value compared to the current situation.
At the level of the Supreme Magus, there were very few people who would betray them for a few pieces of equipment. The few Archmages themselves were existences that could rival a country. When wealth accumulated to a certain extent, it was just a number in their eyes. Money and equipment no longer had any practical meaning to them.
Unlike the mercenaries who relied on adventuring to make a living or to stand out, the reason they came to explore the underground city was purely because of the typical Magician's thirst for knowledge. They wanted to solve the mysteries here, or get a few secret treasures to return to their Mage Towers to do research behind closed doors.
In short, the group of old men in the team looked at the young man as if they were looking at their own grandson. Everyone chatted and laughed along the way. Rather than saying they were farming, it was better to say that they were having a get-together. The atmosphere was like sitting in a garden and drinking afternoon tea. There were even people who cast Forbidden Spells while thinking about how to introduce their great-granddaughter to Rob.
As for the other teams, when they saw Rob's group from afar, they hid in a corner, hating their parents for not giving them an extra pair of legs. Even the most vicious thug wouldn't have any ideas about a group of high-ranking Magicians, unless his brain was completely damaged.
Well, in short, who didn't have a period of extraordinary times when they were young?
Now, the Quasi Magus was once again standing at the entrance of the underground city with the rookie The Brave. This time, he didn't have the group of RMB Gods by his side, and he had also lost all his preparations. However, the young man had no doubt that these things would return to his side in the near future, and today was the beginning of everything.
