Vol 2 Chapter 2516: traitor

Chapter 2516 The Betrayer
"You just reminded the two gargoyles that they are now lying down. I originally wanted to stun like the old woman on the third floor, but I couldn't help but beat them."
As soon as Angel started the dialogue, Doc immediately noticed that before Angel could speak, he talked about it in advance.
Gargoyle lying down? Obviously it was Dox's modifier, and Angel didn't need to guess, he knew that the two gargoyles had broken into countless pieces at this time.
"By the way, thank you for your poker card. Otherwise, it would be a little troublesome for me to walk through this hallway."
Angel: "...you know poker?"
Dorks: "Of course, if you entered the cross bar before, you would see that there are at least ten tables of people playing cards. It is estimated that you will be invited to a game when you enter."
Anger was silent for a moment. He originally wanted to ask about the Queen’s Castle, but after listening to Docs, he couldn’t help asking:
How did the poker cards get to the Sandworm Bazaar?

Sandworm Bazaar, at least in Angel’s impression, is a very remote wizard’s bazaar, surrounded by a large desert, and not too many people go there.
But even so remote, poker has already become popular? Obviously it hasn't been long since he taught Xia Li about poker.
"This, it's from Mesomia. It is said that there was a magician who performed a grand performance there. Although I don't know what the performance is, the poker cards are It came from that time." Dorks: "It seems that the magician is still a woman, traveling around the world, performing magic shows."
Angel: ...well, he understands.
The magician who performed the mainland tour was definitely Xia Li, or she could not get rid of Xia Li. Angel did not expect that Xia Li could do this in order to promote poker magic.
After sighing, Angel also took a sigh of relief. At least for now, poker has not been squeezed out as an exotic product.
Poker is like a shadow box made by Angel, in fact, it all comes from Jon in essence. Although Jon seemed to be just a humble and dying ordinary person, the other kind of human civilization he brought was quietly integrated into the wizarding culture.
From this point of view, although Jon is unknown, he is also influencing the cultural process of the wizarding world... even entertainment culture.
"You are looking for me this time, is it to discuss playing cards? If you are interested in playing cards, when you return to the sandworm market, I will take you to the Cross Bar to play." Doc came from the soul tie. The message sent by Si.
Angel: "Poker cards are just a digression. I came to you to ask about your stay in the Queen's Castle."
Dorks let out a weird laugh: "Why, are you also interested in the way the emperor plays?"
Angel explained calmly: "There are two talented people on our side that haven't been found. According to the news, they seem to be taken away by the emperor last night."
"One is called Colos, with fair complexion and light golden hair; the other is named Blazer, with darker skin and dark brown hair, and his hands seem to be bandaged."
"Have you seen them in the Queen's Castle?"
Dorks was silent for a few seconds, and then sighed for a while: "So they are the talented people you're looking for, tusk."
Angel heard the weirdness in Dorks' tone: "Have you seen them?"
Dorks: "Of course, the wonderful performance I just mentioned, the two of them are the protagonists... Oh, no, the queen is the protagonist, these two are supporting roles."
Angel: "Are they in the emperor's room?"
Dox: "Hmm."
"How's their situation?" Angel's implicit meaning is, are they still angry?
Dorks: "How is the situation? I didn't see the bottom, I don't know, but according to the emperor's gameplay, you have to peel off if you die."
...
Angel ended the call with Docks, and said to Merlot on the side: "I got the location information of the two of them. It's in the queen's room."
Angel: "We will pass now."
After speaking, Angel turned around first and walked towards the first floor, and the others quickly followed.
Melo originally wanted to ask what information Anger had gotten, as well as the situation of Colos and Blazer, but before he could speak, he heard a movement.
There is also a faint smell of blood.
Angel also smelled it, but instead of stopping, he speeded up and stepped up a level.
As soon as he arrived on the first floor, Angel saw the familiar gargoyle.
The gargoyle wielded its fleshy wings and hovered high, its eyes fixed on a human below. At this time, the gate on the first floor was blocked by it, and the human was like a bird in a birdcage, unable to escape at all. And it can play unscrupulously...until it completely kills him.
The gargoyle's nasty eyes have been following the human being who already has many bloodstains on his body. I don't know that there are other people on the first floor watching it.
"What happened? That person, who seems to be wearing the standard armor of the Royal Castle, how could he be chased by a gargoyle?" Ms. Merlot asked in doubt.
"Probably because he didn't hide the smell of blood on his body, he was discovered by a gargoyle. He was a betrayer." Angel said lightly.
The human being chased by the gargoyle over there is the little Tom who came to jail with the leader before.
His skill is fairly vigorous, but he hasn't received formal training at first glance. Even with a sharp dagger in his hand, he is basically unable to resist a gargoyle who can dive and attack from high altitude.
After a while, a few deep blood was added to Little Tom.
A lot of blood flowed out, and if the bleeding was not stopped in time, the bleeding alone could make Tom shed to death.
And this is obviously the purpose of the gargoyle. If it really wanted to kill Little Tom, it could definitely kill it with one hit, but it didn't do so, presumably because it wanted Little Tom to see himself bleeding to death.
"My lord, what are we going to do now?"
It was Ms. Merlot who was speaking. It was not that she didn't know what to do. The deep meaning she asked was how to choose.
The gate on the first floor was closed by a gargoyle. There were only three ways for them to leave.
First, break the wall... But there are a lot of magic arrays on the wall. With the entire prison as the background, it is not that simple to break.
Second, kill the gargoyle. As soon as the gargoyle dies, the door it controls will naturally open.
Third, wait for the gargoyle to kill that human. At that time, the gargoyle will revert to a statue, and the gate will open.
What they have to do now is to make a choice among these three options.
Angel did not answer Ms. Merlot's question, because he directly expressed his choice by action.
I saw several pale white phantom limbs that looked like tentacles, spreading from Angel's body. These phantom limbs were extremely fast, and when the gargoyle did not react at all, they tied it up.
The gargoyle was surprised, there are still people on the first floor!
However, this suspicion was also his last thought during his lifetime, because the next second, the phantom limbs were gently squeezed, and the gargoyle was directly broken into countless pieces.
Withdrawing the phantom limbs, Angel ignored the body of the gargoyle, but walked in front of Tom.
"Honorable wizard, are you here?"
Angel did not dispel the illusion, little Tom could not see him, but Tom still spoke, and from the direction he turned his head, he still faced Angel, as if Tom could really see Angel general.
But Angel knew that little Tom could never see himself, and his orientation might be a coincidence or some ability.
"My lord killed the gargoyle and didn't leave. Are you going to kill me?"
"If I can, I hope the adults don't kill me. My inspiration is very strong. I can become a servant of the adults and serve them."
Perhaps to show his inspiration, Little Tom continued: "I had vaguely felt the presence of adults before. The adults followed me and the leader to 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 talent for inspiration is estimated to have considerable potential.
Otherwise, with the little Tom's strength, it would be absolutely impossible to perceive it, and Angel followed them at the time.
"Since you found me, why didn't you tell your team leader about this?" After little Tom talked to himself for a long time, Angel finally spoke.
Little Tom secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he can communicate, at least there is still a chance: "Because I vaguely feel that this may be my opportunity."
"Do you have a chance to kill the team leader?" Although Angel was asking, his tone was quite sure.
He had found a fatal wound behind the leader before, and there were no other injuries on the leader. In other words, he was likely to die before the wandering apprentices escaped, and the wandering apprentices who escaped did not treat him. Vented his corpse. His death was not the result of a vagrant apprentice, it was probably because he was unprepared and was attacked from behind.
At that time, Angel wondered 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 cronies the leader brought into the prison were little Tom.
"Yes, it was the leader I killed. However, I thought at the time that the adults would definitely have something to do with us, and perhaps eventually kill the leader. But the adults did not do this, there is no way, I can only do it myself."
"And the opportunity soon came. The team leader found that the fat guard 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 his heart from behind. ."
When Little Tom talked about the experience of killing the team leader, his expression was obviously happy.
"According to what you said, if I followed you and killed the leader, then I would definitely kill you too. Don't you worry about this?"
Little Tom: "Don't worry, because I am ready to die. As long as the person can die, it doesn't matter if I die."
Little Tom's expression was very calm and his tone of voice was very plain, but that kind of determination hidden under calmness was quite powerful.
Angel: "He has hatred against you?"
Little Tom: "A sea of ​​blood and deep enmity."
Angel knew it, and it seemed that Little Tom entered the Queen’s Castle, flattered the leader and became a cron, just for revenge.
Angel thought for a while, and continued: "Since you are ready to die, why are you begging for mercy like me now?"
Little Tom also said simply: "If I can't die, I naturally hope to live. Of course, if an adult chooses to kill me, I won't complain."
Angel naturally could see that little Tom was telling the truth.
He does have the will to die, but he also has the expectation of life toward 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 immediately fell to his knees: "Thank you, my lord, I am willing to be an adult's servant."
Angel: "Do you think I want a betrayer to be a servant?"
Little Tom paused instantly.
Yes, even if Little Tom has a vengeance against the team leader, he is a betrayer after all. In the eyes of others, even if there is a reason, he is rebellious.
And the wizard in front of him, obviously treated it the same way.
"Then..." Little Tom didn't know what to say, a syllable was spit out for a long time, and there was no subsequent text.
Angel said at this time: "But your inspiration is really useful."
After the conversation, Angel gently stretched out his finger and put it at the center of Tom's brow.
Little Tom's expression was sluggish for a moment, but it quickly returned to its original shape.
After all this was done, Angel threw a treatment to Tom so that he would not bleed and die.
After receiving the treatment, Little Tom stood up, bowed in the direction where Angel was, and then turned away without saying a word.
When Little Tom's figure disappeared from the door completely, Ms. Melo, who had witnessed all the previous conversations, asked curiously: "My lord, do you have arrangements for him?"
Angel: "It's not that I have arrangements for him, but you have arrangements for him."
Ms. Merlot was startled, her face puzzled.
Angel: "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, I will check him. Check the talent. If you can, then check the background. If everything is okay, you can also list him as the talent this time."
