From Crazy's words, Han Shuo knew that the Redbud Knights had indeed come to the underground world. Celt had even launched an attack on the lizardmen. The lizardmen's fighting strength naturally couldn't withstand the Redbud Knights' attacks. However, the magic crystal mine guarded by the lizardmen contained a strange, enormous creature.
Celt and the Redbud Knights had entered the magic crystal mine guarded by the lizardmen with him. They seemed to have experienced a fierce battle inside. There was a strange creature inside the mine that had suddenly become extremely frightening. Even the Redbud Knights, one of the top ten knight orders on the Continent, hadn't been able to escape unscathed.
After two or three fruitless attempts, the Redbud Knights had temporarily ceased all activities. No one knew where they had hidden themselves in the underground world. At present, the Dark Mantle didn't know the whereabouts of the Redbud Knights. They only focused their attention on the lizardmen's residential area, observing every movement here.
"Brian, how did you come to the underground world? Are you also participating in this mission?" Crazy excitedly asked Han Shuo after explaining the current situation to Han Shuo.
Shaking his head with a smile, Han Shuo explained, "I just happened to pass through the Dark Forest. I even fought with Celt of the Redbud Knights a while ago. I'm here for the leader of the Redbud Knights."
Celt, who'd even killed the green dragon, must hate Han Shuo to the bone. Not to mention that he'd had one of his ears cut off by Han Shuo. There was no way he wouldn't seek revenge. For Han Shuo, Celt, who controlled the Redbud Knights, was a huge threat. Not only was his strength extraordinary, but he was also an important figure in a country. Once Celt learned of Han Shuo's identity, he would bring Han Shuo great trouble sooner or later.
Therefore, Han Shuo had come to the Dark Forest from Brettel City to see if he could obtain some magic crystal ores. On the other hand, he hoped to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots of Celt. This way, he wouldn't be able to walk out of the Dark Forest alive and bring him endless trouble.
"What? You fought with Commander Celt of the Redbud Knights?" Crazy suddenly cried out and looked at Han Shuo with some disbelief. She suddenly asked, "I heard that Celt's green dragon was killed by someone, and even one of his ears was cut off. That person wouldn't be you, would it?"
Crazy's eyes sparkled with a strange light as she stared fixedly at Han Shuo. She seemed to have guessed something.
Han Shuo hadn't thought that this news would spread so quickly. He was a bit surprised by Crazy's question. At this time, Han Shuo and Crazy had arrived at a place with many red plants that looked like giant banana leaves. This should be the Dark Mantle 'temporary meeting point for this mission.
Before Han Shuo could answer Crazy's question, a low voice sounded from the depths of the forest, "Who is it?"
Chrissie was abruptly roused from her curiosity by this voice. She hastily shouted back, "Third Star Envoy Chrissie, is that Wallace?"
"So it's Crazy, you've returned. Mm, come here quickly." The voice was no longer as nervous as before. A light laugh came from the distance, and a young face appeared from under the red banana leaves.
The youth called Wallace raised his head and saw Han Shuo. He immediately said with some displeasure, "Why is it you? What are you doing here?"
Cecilia had tried to use the Forest Troll to obstruct Kassel's pursuit in the area where the Forest Troll lived, but had been rudely stopped by Han Shuo in the end. The Dark Mantle members who had gone on the mission with Cecilia had expressed strong resentment towards Han Shuo. This youth called Wallace was likely one of the masked men, so he was a bit displeased when he saw Han Shuo appear.
Crazy, who had brought Han Shuo here, thought that he didn't know Han Shuo's background when she saw Wallace's expression. She hastily explained, "Wallace, what are you doing? Brian is one of us, haven't you heard of his name?"
"Hmph, I don't think he's one of us when he pulls us back at a critical moment!" Wallace was quite loyal to Cecilia and snorted coldly in response.
"Crazy, take me to see Emily." Han Shuo didn't pay too much attention to the indignant Wallace and only spoke to Crazy beside him.
"Sorry, we don't welcome people like you here!" The youth called Wallace suddenly stood up from under the red banana leaves and blocked Han Shuo's path with a cold expression.
Han Shuo flicked a glance at Wallace and walked towards him, completely ignoring Wallace's attempts to stop him. When he arrived in front of Wallace and saw that he had no intention of moving out of the way, Han Shuo slowly extended his left hand and placed it on Wallace's body. A strong force surged into Wallace's body.
Wallace staggered back continuously until he took ten steps back before falling on his butt. His angry face was tinged with fear as he shouted at Han Shuo, "What do you think you're doing?"
"Whether or not I can go in isn't up to you. You're just a lowly Dark Star Emissary. You have neither the right nor the strength to stop me. Don't overestimate yourself!" Han Shuo only displayed the most direct disdain towards his colleague's provocation. He turned back to look at Crazy, who was about to smooth things over, and said with a smile, "Let's go, we're going to see Emily."
Crazy was stunned by Han Shuo's display of strength. Her mind spun as she suddenly cried out, "It must be you! The mysterious person who killed Celt's green dragon and cut off one of his ears! It must be you!"
Wallace had been about to stand up and challenge Han Shuo again when he heard these words, but his face suddenly turned as white as a sheet of paper. His knees buckled as he was about to stand up straight, and he fell back to the ground in fright.
Chuckling softly, Han Shuo flicked a disdainful glance at Wallace and urged Crazy, "Let's not talk about this. I need to see Emily for something urgent."
Han Shuo's lack of denial was basically a tacit admission. Crazy's gaze towards Han Shuo was full of worship as she excitedly ran over to Han Shuo. When she passed by Wallace, who was sitting on the ground, Crazy said with some embarrassment, "Sorry, Wallace. You don't have anything else to do, so I'll be going first."
With that, Crazy no longer looked at the pale Wallace and skipped over to Han Shuo's side. She said enthusiastically, "Let's go, I'll take you to see Madame Emily immediately. Right, Brian, how did you cut off Celt's ear? That's just too cool! "
Along the way, Han Shuo discovered that the Dark Mantle had indeed chosen a very smart location. This area was filled with tall banana leaf plants, and there were many rocks and shrubs that could conceal one's tracks. For members of the Dark Mantle who were adept at concealing their tracks, this area was an excellent place to hide.
Starting from Wallace's location, they had set up all kinds of warning devices along the way. Some of these devices were purely handmade, while others used magical elements. They were all small and practical. From Crazy's words, Han Shuo learned that these warning devices were all made by Cecilia.
Although the curious Crazy kept asking about Celt's ear being destroyed, Han Shuo didn't say anything on this topic. He adopted an attitude of neither admitting nor denying it. It wasn't until he saw Emily that the overjoyed Emily finally suppressed the excitement in her heart and used the dignity of her position to order Crazy, "Thank you, Crazy. I'd like to discuss this mission with Brian alone."
"Alright then, Madam Emily," Crazy answered with disappointment. Before she left, she looked at Han Shuo and said, "Remember to tell me the details next time. I really want to know the details of that matter."
"No problem, I'll tell you next time. Thank you, Crazy, "Han Shuo responded with a friendly smile before following Emily towards a cave.
Apart from the lush red leafy banana leafy plants in this area, there were also a few caves of various sizes. It looked like Emily was temporarily living in one of these caves. However, perhaps because she didn't want others to see her, Emily avoided the caves where sounds could be heard and walked towards a more remote corner.
"You bastard, you've started seducing other girls again. Besides me, you also have Phoebe. Aren't the two of us enough for you to bully?" Emily immediately pinched Han Shuo and cursed Han Shuo in a low voice when she saw that there was no one else around.
Han Shuo felt greatly wronged and cried out in pain with a wry smile. When he saw that Emily had let go of his hand with a pained heart, he explained, "It's not what you think at all. I just happened to meet her on the road and had her bring me here to find you."
"Hmph!" Emily looked at Han Shuo with a bit of distrust and asked, "Then what did she say? What details does she want to ask you in detail? Hurry up and tell me honestly!"
"Eh … she wants to ask me how I killed Celt's green dragon and cut off his ear?" Han Shuo answered honestly.
"What, you did it!" Emily was shocked and looked at Han Shuo incredulously.
Nodding, Han Shuo didn't hide anything in front of Emily and said, "It was indeed me."
