The Master’s Friendship Rules

Page 262

Completely unresponsive.

Wang: “Watch my fingers.”

The girl’s eyes were focused on Wang’s finger. Wherever the finger moved, her eyes followed.

The Wang maliciously turned his finger behind her, and the girl turned around.

Elizabeth walked up to the king, looked at the girl, and said with pity: “This girl is quite pretty. Is there any way to make her recover?”

Xiao Bai: “Are you sure? Your value will be further diluted. If there are too many big boobs, Wang may not like them anymore and prefer small and delicate ones instead.”

Wang: “Who? Do we have this type here?”

“its me!”

“You don’t, but you’d be more like saying I’m small and delicate.” Wang made an unceremonious judgment.

Wang’s muscles are pretty good, and are indeed more substantial than Xiaobai’s.

Xiaobai glared at Wang and sighed, “Forget it. So what do we do with the results of these enemies?”

Wang held the ring that had not yet been identified in his right hand, and looked at the girl in front of him with his chin in his hand. The girl’s eyes were still fixed on his right index finger as he had ordered.

“According to the documents seized from the cult branch, those who have been pre-processed are beyond help.” Wang finally shook his head, “See if we can find documents proving their identities.”

Elizabeth: “Can’t we just ask them who they are?”

Wang scratched his head: “This… makes sense, then let’s ask.”

He turned to the girl and said, “Stop staring at my finger. Now answer me, who are you?”

“I am my master’s slave,” the girl answered promptly.

“It’s over. The pre-treatment also includes brainwashing, Franka! Do you see if there are any remaining memories in this girl’s mind?”

Franka floated over and saw that the girl’s jellyfish had turned blue. She plucked the strings of the harp and said, “Her spirit has… This is just an empty container. She only acts according to orders. That girl is no different from a dead person.”

The king was shocked: “Is that so? Then it seems that we have no way to obtain information from these people. Perhaps granting them a peaceful death is the most merciful thing to do.”

At this time, Marika said, “It’s a bit strange. I didn’t find any weapons of the drow elves, nor did I find any equipment of these adventurers. It’s hard to imagine that these adventurers entered the Underdark wearing only the clothes and leather armor they were wearing.”

Gotrick held up what he had found and shouted, “Go!”

He was holding a notebook in his hand.

Wang: “Notepad? What’s written on it?”

“do not know.”

The barbarian rushed over to the king in two steps and stuffed the notebook into his hand.

Wang opened the notebook: “It is written in the Underworld Common Language.”

The only ones in the team who understand the underground common language are Wang, Flint and Marika. Barbarian does not master this language. No wonder he does not say the above content, because he cannot understand it.

Wang: “This is the log written by the team’s adjutant. It says that their team of 20 is equipped with standard uniforms and carries six scrolls of protection from arrows, six scrolls of protection from strong acid, and one scroll of fireball… Where are the scrolls?”

Marika held up the scroll bag. “Here. I was just about to report it.”

Wang continued to read the log: “Team… This month is the underground calendar. I will convert it to the surface calendar… The team set out on September 20th.”

Elizabeth added, “Three days ago.”

Wang: “The team has two missions. One is to search for and capture… intelligent creatures? Does that mean anything is fine?”

Franka: “Will I be caught too?”

“No, no, they probably won’t notice you. You looked at the battle just now. You were such an obvious target, but the crossbowmen on the other side ignored you.” Wang continued to look down at the notebook, “The second mission of the team is to trade with the slave traders… Trade? So these are the slaves that were bought back? Someone is selling slaves to this place?”

Marika sneered: “Huh, underground, the only one who can sell drow elves as slaves is another drow family. Now we know that there are two drow elves nearby who can’t deal with each other.”

Wang: “Very important information. But it’s strange, why did the order received by the outpost team mention five drow elves? Was the transaction number wrong?”

Marika: “Maybe the drow elves had some new gains and traded them together. The two families must be scheming against each other, which is normal.”

Wang: “There is another question. The two rings are not mentioned in the notebook. They should not be the standard equipment issued. Can these mind-controlled slaves hide the rings themselves? Franka, is this possible?”

Franka: “If it is strict control, it should not be possible. But… maybe the slave owner does not strictly control the slaves. Mind flayers are often like this. They prefer to gain the loyalty of slaves through gentler methods, such as deception and seduction, rather than direct and strict mental control.

“There are two types of slaves of the Mind Flayer. One type is the kind that only follows orders, and they usually stay by the Mind Flayer’s side. The other type is this kind, and they have a certain sense of independence.”

The king frowned. He was not sure what the creature that dominated the gray dwarf ruins was before, but now the possibility that it was a mind flayer increased greatly.

I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Chapter 290: Fixed Process of Dungeon Exploration

Wang flipped through the rest of the log and made a new discovery: “The secretary of this arrest team was previously a member of the guard team and was recently transferred to the arrest team. He recorded the guard change time here. According to this time, the guards we eliminated were the day shift who had just changed shifts, and no one would come to replace them until the afternoon.”

Marika: “Great, so we still have a few hours to sneak into the ruins.”

Wang: “I just don’t know how long it will take for the enemy to realize that the capture team has been intercepted.”

Marika: “Don’t worry about that. In the Underdark, even a patrol of drow elves may not come back suddenly. This place is so dangerous. Let’s quickly deal with these humanoid shells and start sneaking in!”

As she spoke, Marika drew out her dagger and prepared to attack.

The king glanced at the female adventurer, then at her secondary sexual characteristics.

Wang: “I now understand Master Li Guang’s feelings towards his own people.”

Xiaobai: “No, I think you just feel sorry for Big Popo.”

Marika: “You can touch it first, and then I will kill it.”

Wang: “No, I won’t take the initiative without permission. My teacher said I have to be a gentleman.”

Wang turned around and said, “Let’s do it, quickly.”

Elizabeth: “Wait, can we kill her first and then revive her?”

Wang: “The soul is gone. Even if you use the resurrection spell, it will be just an empty shell. We need to use the Great Wish spell. No one in our team knows how to do it.”

Elizabeth: “Can you keep the body first, and then resurrect her when you can perform the Great Wish?”

Xiao Bai looked at Elizabeth in surprise: “Do you really want to create more opponents for yourself?”

Elizabeth looked at the female adventurer and said, “I… just feel a little sorry for her.”

Marika had already wiped the necks of the other two male adventurers, and then grabbed the neck of the female adventurer from behind. However, she did not act immediately. Instead, she looked at Elizabeth and said, “Your Highness, you can turn around. I promise to let her die without any pain.”

Elizabeth bit her lip and finally turned her back like the king.

The sound of the knife cutting the skin was particularly clear for some reason, and Elizabeth subconsciously shrank her neck.

The king seemed to be trying to comfort Elizabeth, or to convince himself: “We didn’t kill them, we just dealt with the empty shells they left behind. They died during the pre-processing.”

At this time, Marika asked: “So should we leave the bodies behind? We don’t know where their hometown is, and even if we leave the bodies behind, we can’t send them back.”

King: “Stay here. Perhaps you can learn their identities from the drow who sold them.”

Marika: “That makes sense. So we’re going to destroy the drow family that sells slaves?”

Xiaobai: “Marika, you seem very happy? Do you find it so pleasurable to kill your own kind?”

Marika did not answer, but quickly gathered the bodies of the three adventurers: “The bodies have been gathered.”

Wang turned around, opened his dimensional bag, and put the body in it.

During this process, Marika quickly slit the throats of the drow slaves.

Wang: “Retrieve the crossbows and arrows, but forget about the swords and armor. We probably won’t need equipment suitable for such a short stature.”

After all, the soldiers of the vigilante group on the floating island are either humans or lizardmen, there are no dwarves.

The group quickly left the checkpoint and headed towards the gray dwarf ruins.

When they were two hundred meters away from the ruins, Nini, who was leading the way, raised her hand and signaled everyone to stop.

“There are two sentries at the front entrance. We stopped just outside the range of their darkvision.”

Wang squinted his eyes and looked forward: “Shit, I only saw a purple light at the door.”

Nini: “It’s magic lighting.”

Elizabeth asked in confusion: “Since the gray dwarves and Kuo-Toa have dark vision, why do we need to install lighting equipment?”

Wang: “It’s probably because there are creatures without dark vision among the slaves, and the light is prepared for them.”

“Makes sense.”

At this time, Xiaobai’s ears twitched: “There is a sound!”

Nini: “Don’t panic, it’s Marika who was exploring the way ahead who’s back.”

After saying that, Marika appeared from the shadows: “There are two sentries at the main gate, and there are quite a few people inside. It looks like the enemy’s guard post is behind the gate. It’s not easy to enter from the main gate. But I found a small door. I removed the magic trap at the door. The main gate has no keyhole, but you can try the knocking spell. Have you prepared the knocking spell today?”

The king took out the knocking magic staff from the dimension bag: “I have it.”

Xiaobai: “Do you have all the staffs for low-level spells?”

Wang: “Only the staffs I made in my magic crafting class.”

Marika waved her hand and said, “Then follow me. I won’t be seen by the enemy the whole way back.”

A moment later, the rescue team arrived at the small door that Marika mentioned, and there were the “remains” of the dismantled magic trap on the ground.

Wang carefully identified the trap: “The electric shock mark can turn the fool who triggered the trap into charcoal.”

Xiao Bai glanced at Marika and said, “At least her color is similar to coke. No, coke may be a little darker.”

Marika ignored Xiaobai’s comment on her skin color and pointed at the door and said, “Come and try it.”

The king raised his staff of knocking magic: “Knocking magic!”

The door opened with a click.

“Oh, that’s easy. It seems the enemy is not on guard.” Flint said as he walked towards the gate, but Gotrick grabbed the scruff of his armor and lifted him up and put him back.

Marika carefully touched the open door and looked inside through the crack. “Alarm device, and crossbow trap. Wait a minute, this is more difficult to remove.”

Marika said as she fished out her tool bag, spread it out on the ground, picked out a few tools and began to dismantle the trap.

The dwarf turned his head and looked at the barbarian: “How do you know there is something behind?”

Gotrek: “Intuition.”
