"Very well, then the first question." The young man raised a finger. "Where did you hide your valuables?"
"What, what valuable things?" Green was at a loss when he heard this.
"What a good answer." The Archmage sighed. "It seems that you don't really need your thighs."
"Wait, I'm not lying. I'm not lying. I've placed everything here." The young scoundrel looked like he was about to cry. His eyes were filled with grievance. Lolo felt sorry for him. She felt that the young lad didn't know anything and wondered if she had misunderstood him.
On the other hand, Rob was unmoved. The Brave wondered if his follower was addicted to cosplaying as a kidnapper. The young lad said to Grimm with a straight face, "Do you think we look like fools?"
Lolo and Rob had found the place before the young scoundrel returned. The first thing they did was to turn Grimm's lair upside down. They found a lot of valuable items, including some materials and equipment. The total value was about five to six gold coins. Oh, yes, there was also the Magic Lamp in the corner.
The Brave was satisfied with the results. After all, they didn't spend much effort in the process of hunting down Grimm. It was like a pie falling from the sky.
If a normal exploration team didn't have any intelligence support, it would be a dream come true if they could earn two to three gold coins in the Dungeon. The two to three gold coins would be the entire team's harvest. The individual team members would receive less than 20 silver coins.
Now, Luo Luo had only followed her little follower around the tunnel, and she had already reaped such a harvest. No matter what, she should be satisfied.
However, the young lad didn't seem to think so. The amount of money was much less than Rob had expected.
Judging from Green's previous performance, it was obvious that this was not his first day doing this kind of thing. Although it required some talent to commit a crime, no one was born with it. It always took repeated training to gradually improve.
Luo Bu would rather die than believe that this Thief was still in the beginning stages of his career. This fellow had spent so much effort to force the team into a corner. He wouldn't let them go just because he wanted to pay them a small fee.
It wouldn't be extortion. It would be charity.
The young scoundrel was indeed cunning. The young scoundrel seemed to be worried about this day, so he split the money into two and hid one portion.
It had to be admitted that Green was indeed very smart. Coupled with his outstanding acting skills, he might really have fooled an ordinary person. Unfortunately … the person he encountered this time was Luo Bu.
As a person who had been active in the Anti Demain and Steins Front (what the hell was that?) The former revolutionary and the future Supreme Magister Your Honor had been fighting with two old monsters whose combined age was more than 200 years for his freedom for the past ten years.
Especially that old man Demain. Although he was a grade eight Grand Magister, he didn't care about the dignity of a high-grade spellcaster. He used all kinds of schemes and tricks. He had no bottom line. The despicable means he used would always succeed in refreshing the young lad's worldview.
Thanks to his blessings, even though Luo Bu was a shut-in who never left his house, he had long since gained an ample understanding of the dangers of the world.
Although Grimm was cunning, he was still far from Demain.
Archmage sat on the hammock with his legs crossed. He looked at the young scoundrel like a hawk looking at a mouse. "How long have you been doing this?"
"Wh … What?" A chill ran down Grimm's spine. He still didn't know where he went wrong.
"From the beginning of the deceit to the successful completion … it would take one to two days for a small team to complete the deceit. If they work hard for a month, there should be more than ten small teams."
The young scoundrel was shocked. "How do you know I've been doing this for almost a month?"
"Looks like I need to remind you," Rob took out two crumpled pieces of paper from his pocket and placed them in front of Grimm. "The Adventurer's Heart coupon has already passed its expiration date. I found it in your pile of junk. Adventurers like you have to go to a bar every now and then to have a drink or two, or to inquire about some gossip or something … I've also been to that bar before. The coupon is valid for one and a half months. Even if there were any delays after that, deducting the time spent on preparation and the road, you've been here for almost a month now."
Cold sweat trickled down the young scoundrel's forehead, but he didn't give up hope. He was still making his last resistance. "Who said this thing is mine?"
Archmage was amused by the scoundrel. "Are you stupid? If it belongs to the person you deceived, doesn't that mean you've been here longer?"
Grimm apparently realized that he seemed to have accidentally made a big mistake.
Oh no, his heart was in a mess. The young scoundrel broke out in cold sweat even faster.
Luo Bu decided to finish the battle quickly and strike while the iron was hot, completely crushing the young thief's psychological defenses in one fell swoop.
Archmage pointed at the carvings on the wall. "How is it? Life here isn't good, is it? You can't see the sun or the moon in this underground maze, and you can't tell what day it is outside. That's why you used a knife to leave those marks on the wall. You carve a mark on the wall every day. Do you want us to count how many marks you've left?"
Grimm seemed to have all his strength sucked out of him as he drooped his head. "Go out, southeast. Turn right after ten steps. The third fork on the left. I've left the rest of the money there."
"Look after him. I'll be right back." It was rare for the lackey to be so diligent. Of course, the main reason was that the rookie, The Brave, still had to keep an eye on Grimm. He couldn't free himself for the time being, so even if Rob wanted to slack off, he couldn't.
The attendant ran to the place where the young Thief had told him to look. Sure enough, there was a neatly organized bag there.
Rob didn't open it. Instead, he went back and threw the bag to Lolo.
To be honest, Archmage wasn't too concerned about how much money the young scoundrel had hidden. In comparison, he was clearly more interested in something else.
