The Master’s Friendship Rules

Franka: “Fu?”
Wang: “We can’t take it lightly. You don’t know how long in advance this thing will appear. Maybe my right eyelid will twitch when we are surrounded by the Kuo Tao fishmen. Anyway, let’s approach the gray dwarf ruins carefully.”
Marika shook her head. “I still insist on looking for the drow. But it looks like everyone has decided to go to the gray dwarf ruins, so I’ll lead the way. This way.”
So the rescue team, with an additional temporary member, set out towards the Gray Dwarf ruins occupied by Gray Dwarves and Kuo-Toa fishmen.
Chapter 285 Five Gray Dwarves and Five Kuo-Toa Murlocs
About an hour after the start, Nini, who was leading the team, raised her right hand and signaled the whole team to stop.
As everyone squatted down and hid, Franka plucked the strings of the harp and played a common rest phrase in hymns.
All members of the rescue team turned their heads to look at the air jellyfish.
Wang: “You don’t need us to compose music for everything.”
“No?” The jellyfish turned orange, which represented shock.
Flint muttered, “It’s actually not a big deal that it plays the piano. After all, you can basically forget about sneaking with it. You can see this fluorescent group from a long distance.”
Franka turned blue, which meant she was sad: “I’m sorry, Fu.”
Wang: “It’s alright. I personally think Flint’s armor is just as bright. Not to mention my dragon head staff.”
Franka turned green: “Dragon head staff?”
The king took out the dragon head staff from the dimensional bag. The sudden bright light seemed to dazzle the jellyfish’s eyes, causing it to spin in the air in panic: “Woooo! My vision, my vision is all white!”
Nini suddenly hushed, “Don’t talk, the guards outside the ruins seem to have noticed your dragon head staff!”
Wang: “Is it too late for me to put away the staff now?”
Nini put her hands up beside her ears to enhance her ears’ ability to pick up sounds: “I… I don’t know, I can’t understand the underground common language they speak.”
Wang: “Try to repeat…”
Nini interrupted the king and said, “Wait a minute, they sent a search team towards us. The team consists of five gray dwarves and five Kuo-Toa fishmen.”
Wang: “What’s your occupation?”
Nini: “All four of the gray dwarves carry two-handed weapons, the last one carries a bow and arrow, and one of the Kuo-Toa fishmen carries a staff.”
King: “A priest of Dagon, I’m not sure if I should consider him a divine spellcaster or a sorcerer. What’s against me?”
Wang looked back curiously and found that Elizabeth was leaning against him because of nervousness.
Elizabeth immediately distanced herself from him: “Sorry, it was subconscious… It’s all because Marika wasn’t here, otherwise I could hide behind Marika.”
Wang: “You’ve been out adventuring for almost five months, why do you still act like a little girl out for an outing?”
Elizabeth shrank back.
Franka extended her tentacles and gently stroked Elizabeth’s head: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. It’s not your fault. Surface humans will feel uneasy when they arrive in the Underdark.”
Xiao Bai: “She didn’t. She slept so soundly last night, breathing heavily with her mouth wide open. When she turned over, she put her dick in my mouth.”
Elizabeth: “I’m sorry!”
Flint: “Enough of that small talk, so what do we do with this team that’s coming to find us?”
Wang: “You can try an ambush.”
“Are you crazy? Those are underground creatures with dark vision. It’s just that their eyesight has deteriorated due to living underground for so long, so they can’t see us now. Once we get closer, they will definitely see us clearly.” The dwarf raised his voice several degrees.
Wang: “I’m not crazy. We can do the opposite. My dragon head staff has such a bright light that they will be blinded when they get close to it. What we need to do is to use a mirror to focus the light of the dragon head staff forward, and then you just need to hide outside the range of the light.”
As he spoke, the king let go of the dragon head staff, letting it float beside him. He used his free hand to take out a round mirror from his dimensional bag, and used the magician’s hand trick to hold the mirror behind the dragon head staff.
It suddenly became dark behind the dragon head stick.
Wang frowned, looked at the effect, and said, “We have to block both sides. Come on, Elizabeth, hold up the mirror.”
He handed the mirror to Elizabeth, then took out two wooden boards from his dimensional bag, one held up by the wizard’s hand and the other held up by himself.
Wang: “Look!”
Everyone looked at each other except Elizabeth who was holding the mirror.
Flint: “Seems like it’s possible?”
Xiaobai: “If that doesn’t work, just go for it. There are only ten enemies anyway, which is relatively few compared to the enemies we have dealt with before. And we have Marika too. She will most likely attack the spellcaster when the fight starts.”
The dwarf was amazed: “That makes sense. Then let’s find a place to hide quickly.”
The dwarf hid behind a small mound of earth. Nini also found a relatively large mushroom and hid behind the pile of mycelium at its roots.
Xiaobai turned into a bat, flew out of the illuminated area and disappeared.
Elizabeth looked at the king: “We’re just going to stand here?”
King: “First, there is no point in hiding. The hearing of the Kuo Tao fishmen is very sharp. They will find out when you chant the spell. Second, you are outside the illuminated area now. The enemy may not be able to see you. I am the one who is exposed to the enemy.”
He suddenly remembered that there was also Franka, and after glancing at the jellyfish, he added, “And Franka.”
Franka: “I can use my psychic powers to make them not notice me. That’s how we, Furu, lurk near evil creatures to catch their evil thoughts.”
After saying this, it plucked the strings of the guitar.
Wang: “I see.”
At this moment, Nini, who was hiding behind the mycelium, raised her hand to signal.
In fact, at this time, the king could already see the approaching team of gray dwarves and kuo-toa murlocs with his own eyesight.
As a human, Wang has no darkvision and only average vision strength, which means the enemy is quite close.
To further distract the enemy, he called out, “Are those approaching dwarves and midgets?”
He pretended not to recognize the gray dwarf.
The real dwarf Flint muttered, “It’s understandable to mistake a gray dwarf for a dwarf, but it’s ridiculous to mistake a kuo-toa for a dwarf.”
After hearing this, Wang immediately made up for it: “My eyesight is not very good. Why does the dwarf in your team look a little weird?”
The enemy’s ten-man squad did not stop or answer, but continued to approach.
Wang: “This is the Underdark. If you continue to approach, I will take self-defense action. Stop immediately!”
Finally, the gray dwarf holding a crossbow among the enemies spoke up: “This is the dwarf… er, the Oakenshield Kingdom!”
Flint’s mumbling once again entered the king’s ears: “What a damn kingdom name.”
King: “The Oakenshield Kingdom? I’ve never heard of this kingdom.”
Gray dwarf crossbowman: “We have lived underground for a long time and have basically no communication with the surface. It is normal for you to not know about this, people from the surface.”
At this time, Nini had already placed the arrows one by one on the stone beside her, picked up one of them, put it on the bowstring and slowly pulled it.
King: “You haven’t communicated with the surface, so how come the dwarves have equipment made by elves?”
The king’s question confused the enemy, because the enemy had no equipment made by the elves.
Furu looked at Wang in surprise: “You can lie without any evil intentions. It’s amazing!”
At this moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared at the end of the enemy team, and the drow elf directly cut off the neck of the remaining Kuo Tao murloc.
Seeing this, Nini immediately drew her bow and shot continuously.
Gao Trick simply flipped over the boulder where he was hiding, leaped high up and smashed down at the enemy: “Gao!”
The dwarf followed closely behind, rushing out from his hiding place, and suddenly realized that the enemy was a little far away.
“Charge!” he shouted, banging his shield with a five-headed flail – even though his legs were too short to charge through, he could not lose in momentum!
Elizabeth nervously asked the king, “Can I put down the mirror and throw the fireball?”
Wang: “No, it will be over without the two of us fighting. We don’t know how long our adventure will last today, so we need to save our spells.”
Chapter 286 “Preprocessing”
Just as Wang said, the battle was over quickly.
When Xiaobai transformed into a bear and fell from the sky, he only had time to sit on the last Kou Tao murloc and squashed it. The entire team of ten people was destroyed.
Gotrek pointed at the gray dwarf and murloc at his feet and said, “I knocked out two of them.”
Wang: “It’s useless. According to Franka, these guys are all controlled by some guy with powerful psychic abilities. Interrogating them probably won’t reveal anything. Franka, can you try to read their minds?”
Franka spun in the air, spewing out light blue gas: “No, the mental barrier protecting them is still there. They are still under the control of that powerful being.”
At this time, Elizabeth suddenly asked worriedly: “Have we been discovered by that powerful being?”
King: “Don’t worry about that. Although he has enslaved these gray dwarves and kuo-toa, he cannot read their thoughts in real time. All mind readings have distance limits.”
Franka echoed, “We are not within the sensing range of that creature now.”
At this time, Marika, who was searching the dead body of the gray dwarf, shouted: “I found something that looks like an order.”
After saying that, she handed a piece of paper to Nini next to her.
Nini immediately made a few light leaps and landed gracefully in front of the king.
Franka sprayed pink gas, and her entire body – the entire jellyfish spiraled up a distance: “I actually saw the drow elves and the surface elves working together to accomplish something! It turns out that the drow elves can become good people if they work hard.”
Marika said with a straight face, “No, this idea is wrong and dangerous. Drow are drow and can never change for the better.”
Franka: “Fufufu, I’ll eat, I’ll eat.”
Marika’s stern face softened visibly.
Wang was looking at Marika, and Nini cleared her throat: “I got the documents.”
“Oh, good.” The king then retracted his gaze and took the paper Nini handed over. “It says on it in the underground common language, ‘Prepare to welcome the capture team today. It is expected that there will be five captured drow elves and three adventurers from the surface. All have undergone preliminary preparation.'”
Marika: “It sounds like an order was given to the captain of the guard team, and then the captain led a team to check the suspicious light source.”
The king turned the paper over and checked it. After confirming that there was no other writing, he said to Marika, “Go and see if you can kill the remaining guards.”
Marika nodded and jumped into the darkness and disappeared.
Elizabeth asked in confusion, “What does pre-treatment mean here?”
Wang: “Remember the branch of the cult stationed in the ruins?”
