Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2516 The Betrayer

"You reminded those two gargoyles just now that they are already lying down. I originally wanted to be knocked out like the old woman on the third floor, but I didn't expect to be beaten so hard."

As soon as Angor started the conversation, Doakes immediately noticed it, and before Angor could make a sound, he babbled in advance.

Gargoyle lying down?It was obviously Doakes' modification method. Angel didn't need to speculate, he knew that the two gargoyles had been broken into countless pieces at this time.

"By the way, thank you for the poker card. Otherwise, it would be a little troublesome for me to walk through this organ corridor."

Angel: "...do you know poker?"

Doakes: "Of course, if you had entered the Cross Bar before, you would have seen at least ten tables of people playing cards. It is estimated that you will be invited to a round when you go in."

Angel was silent for a moment. He originally wanted to ask about the Queen's Castle, but after hearing what Doakes said, he couldn't help but continue to ask: "How did the poker cards get to the Sandworm Market?"

The Sandworm Market, at least in Angel's impression, is a very remote wizard market, surrounded by a large desert, not too many people go there.

But even if it is so remote, poker has already become popular?Obviously, it hasn't been long since he taught Xia Li poker.

"This, it came from Mesomia. It is said that there was a magician at the beginning, and there was a grand performance there. Although I don't know what the performance is, but the poker cards are It’s been rumored since then.” Doakes: “It seems that the magician is still a woman, and she’s traveling around the world, giving magic performances.”

Angel: ...well, he understands.

The magician who toured the mainland was definitely Xia Li, or had something to do with Xia Li.Angel also didn't expect that Xia Li could do this in order to promote poker magic.

After sighing with emotion, Angel also breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, poker has not been regarded as an imported product and excluded.

Poker is like a shadow box made by Ingres, but essentially it all came from Jon.Although Jon seems to be just an ordinary person who is inconspicuous and terminally ill, another human civilization he brought has quietly integrated into the wizard culture.

From this point of view, although Jon is unknown, he is also influencing the cultural process of the wizarding world...even entertainment culture.

"Did you come to me this time to discuss poker? If you are interested in poker, when you return to the Sandworm Market, I will take you to the Cross Bar to play." Doc came from the psychic belt message from S.

Angel: "The poker cards are just a digression. I came to you to ask about your affairs in the Queen's Castle."

Doakes let out a strange smile: "Why, are you also interested in how the princess plays?"

Angel calmly explained: "There are two talented people on our side that have not been found. According to the information we have received, they seem to have been taken away by the princess last night."

"One is Gloss, with fair complexion and pale blond hair; the other is named Blazer, with dark skin and dark brown hair, and his hands seem to be wrapped in bandages."

"Did you see any traces of them in the Queen's Castle?"

Doakes was silent for a few seconds, and then sighed: "It turns out that the two of them are the talented people you are looking for, tsk tsk."

Angel heard the strangeness in Doakes' tone: "Have you seen them?"

Doakes: "Of course, the wonderful performance I just mentioned, the two of them are the protagonists... Oh, no, the princess is the protagonist, and these two are supporting roles."

Angel: "Are they in the princess' room?"

Doakes: "Hmm."

"How's their situation?" Angel subconsciously asked, are they still alive?
Doakes: "How is the situation, I haven't seen the bottom line, I don't know, but according to the princess's gameplay, if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin."

……

Angel ended the call with Doakes, and said to Mello, "I got the location information of the two of them, and they are in the princess' room."

Angel: "We'll go there now."

After speaking, Angel turned around first and walked towards the stairs on the first floor, and the others quickly followed.

Melo originally wanted to ask Angel what information he had obtained, as well as the situation of Gloss and Blazer, but before he could open his mouth, he heard a commotion.

There is also a faint smell of blood.

Angel also smelled it, but instead of stopping, he accelerated his speed and walked up the first floor.

As soon as he came to the first floor, Angel saw the familiar gargoyle.

The gargoyle waved its fleshy wings and hovered high above, its eyes fixed on a human below.At this time, the gate of the first floor was blocked by it, and the human being was like a bird in a cage, unable to escape at all.As for it, it can play around without restraint... until it completely kills him.

The gargoyle's vicious eyes followed the human with many bloodstains on his body. He didn't know that there were other people watching it on the first floor at this time.

"What happened? That person seems to be wearing the standard armor of the Queen's Castle, how could he be chased by the gargoyle?" Ms. Melo wondered.

"Probably because he didn't hide the smell of blood on his body, and was discovered by the gargoyle. He is a betrayer." Angel said lightly.

The human who is being chased by the gargoyle over there is the little Tom who came to the prison with the leader before.

His skills are fairly vigorous, but he has not been formally trained. Even with a sharp dagger in his hand, he is basically unable to parry the gargoyle that can dive and attack from a high altitude at any time.

After a while, a few deep bloody mouths were added to Little Tom's body.

A large amount of blood flowed out. If the bleeding was not stopped in time, the bleeding alone could kill little Tom.

And this is obviously the purpose of the gargoyle.If it really wanted to kill Little Tom, it could definitely kill it with one blow, but it didn't do so, presumably because it wanted Little Tom to watch him bleed to death alive.

"My lord, what shall we do now?"

It was Ms. Melo who spoke. It wasn't that she didn't know what to do. The deep meaning of her question was how to choose.

The gate on the first floor was closed by gargoyles, and there were only three ways for them to leave.

First, break the wall... But there are a lot of magic circles engraved on the wall, and it is not that easy to break it based on the entire prison.

Second, kill the gargoyle.As long as the gargoyle dies, the gate it manipulates will naturally open.

Third, wait for the gargoyle to kill that human.When the time comes, the gargoyle will return to being a statue and the gate will open.

And what they have to do now is to make a choice among these three options.

Angel did not answer Ms. Melo's question, because he directly expressed his choice with actions.

I saw several pale white phantom limbs like tentacles spreading from Angel's body. These phantom limbs were extremely fast, and when the gargoyle didn't react at all, they tied it up.

Only then did the gargoyle startle, there are still people on the first floor!

However, this suspicion was also the last thought in his life, because in the next second, the phantom limb was lightly squeezed tightly, and the gargoyle was directly broken into countless pieces.

Withdrawing the phantom limb, Angel ignored the corpse of the gargoyle, but walked in front of Little Tom.

"My lord wizard, are you here?"

Angel did not dispel the illusion, and Little Tom couldn't see him, but Little Tom still spoke, and judging from the direction he turned his head, he was still facing Angel, as if Little Tom could really see Angel generally.

But Angel knew that Little Tom would never see himself, and his face might be a coincidence, or some kind of ability.

"My lord killed the gargoyle and didn't leave. Are you going to kill me?"

"If it's possible, I hope your lord will not kill me. My inspiration is very strong. I can become your servant and serve you."

Perhaps to show off his inspiration, Little Tom continued: "I had vaguely felt the presence of the adults before. The adults have followed me and the team leader to the prison."

Little Tom's words made Angel raise his eyebrows slightly.Unexpectedly, Little Tom's face is really not a coincidence, he does have a talent for inspiration.And this kind of inspiration talent, it is estimated that the potential is quite large.

Otherwise, with Little Tom's strength, he would never be able to perceive that Angor was following them at that time.

"Since you found me, why didn't you tell your team leader about it?" After little Tom talked to himself for a long time, Angel finally spoke.

Little Tom secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he can communicate, at least he still has a chance: "Because I vaguely feel that this may be my chance."

"Your chance to kill the team leader?" Although Angel was asking a question, his tone was quite firm.

He had found a fatal wound on the leader's back before, and there was no other injury on the leader's body, that is to say, he probably died before the wandering apprentices escaped, and those wandering apprentices who escaped did not treat him dead body.His death was not caused by the wandering apprentices, most likely he was unprepared and was attacked from behind.

At that time, Angel vaguely guessed whether it was the team leader's cronies who did it, because only cronies had the opportunity to stand behind the team leader.

At that time, the only confidant brought into the prison by the team leader was Little Tom.

"Yes, I killed the team leader. However, I thought at the time that the adults must have plans to follow us, and maybe they will kill the team leader in the end. But the adults didn't do that. There is no way, I can only do it myself."

"And the opportunity came soon. The team leader found that the fat warden had fainted for some reason. When he squatted down to check, his back was exposed in front of me. I used the hidden dagger to insert him into his heart from behind. .”

When Little Tom talked about the experience of killing the team leader, his expression was clearly pleased.

"According to what you said, if I follow you and kill the leader, then I will definitely kill you too. Don't you worry about this?"

Little Tom: "Don't worry, because I'm ready to die. As long as that person can die, it doesn't matter if I die."

Little Tom's expression was very calm, and his tone was very flat, but the determination hidden under the calm was quite powerful.

Angel: "He has a grudge against you?"

Little Tom: "Blood revenge."

Angel understood, it seemed that Little Tom entered the Queen's Castle, flattered the team leader and became a confidant, just for revenge.

Angel thought for a while and continued: "Since you are ready to die, why are you begging me for mercy now?"

Little Tom also said very simply: "If I can not die, I naturally hope to live. Of course, if the adults choose to kill me, I will not complain."

Angel could naturally see that what Little Tom was telling was the truth.

He does have a will to die, but he also has the desire to live towards death.

Angel was silent for a moment: "Since I didn't kill you then, I won't kill you now."

Little Tom's eyes flashed with joy, and he knelt down immediately: "Thank you, sir, I am willing to be your servant."

Angel: "Do you think I will ask a traitor to be my servant?"

Little Tom paused for a moment.

Yes, even though Little Tom has a deep hatred for the team leader, he is a betrayer after all. In the eyes of others, even if there is a reason, he is also a traitor.

And the lord wizard in front of him obviously viewed it in the same way.

"Then..." Little Tom didn't know what to say, he spit out a syllable for a long time, and there was no follow-up.

Angel said at this time: "But your inspiration is indeed useful."

After speaking, Angel lightly stretched out his finger, and touched Little Tom's eyebrows.

Little Tom's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

After doing all this, Angel casually threw a treatment to little Tom so that he would not bleed to death.

After receiving the treatment, Little Tom stood up, bowed in the direction of Angel, then turned and left without saying a word.

After Little Tom completely disappeared from the door, Ms. Melo, who had witnessed all the previous conversations, asked curiously, "My lord, are there any arrangements for him?"

Angel: "It's not that I have arrangements for him, but you have arrangements for him."

Ms. Mello was taken aback for a moment, with a puzzled look on her face.

Angor: "His inspiration is very high. This level of inspiration means that his mental strength will not be bad. I asked him to find Old Potter. After you leave the castle, go and check for him. Check the talent, if possible, then check the background, if everything is ok, you can also list him as the talented person this time."
