Chapter 2517 The Betrayer

"You just reminded those two gargoyles, and now they are lying down. I wanted to knock them out like the old woman on the third floor, but I didn't expect them to be so vulnerable."

As soon as Angel started the conversation, Dox noticed it immediately and started to talk to Angel before he could say anything.

The gargoyles are lying down? It's obviously Dox's decoration. 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 the poker card. Otherwise, it would be a bit troublesome for me to walk through this mechanical corridor."

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

Dox: "Of course, if you had entered the Cross Bar before, you would have seen at least ten tables of people playing cards. I guess you would be invited to play a game when you go in."

Angel was silent for a moment. He originally wanted to ask about the princess's castle, but after listening to Dox's words, he couldn't help but continue to ask: "How did the poker card spread to the Sandworm Market?"

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

But even in such a remote place, poker has become popular? It has not been long since he taught poker to Charlie.

"This, it came from Mesomia. It is said that there was a magician who performed a grand show there at the beginning. Although I don't know what the show was, poker cards came from that time." Dox: "It seems that the magician is a woman who is traveling around the world and performing magic shows."

Angel:...Okay, he understood.

The magician who performed on the continent must be Xia Li, or she is inseparable from Xia Li. Angel did not expect that Xia Li could do this to promote poker magic.

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

Poker is like the shadow box made by Angel. In fact, it all comes from Jon. Although Jon looks like an ordinary person who is inconspicuous and terminally ill, the other human civilization he brought has quietly integrated into the wizard culture.

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

"Did you come to me this time just to discuss ***? If you are interested in ***, I will take you to the Cross Bar when we return to the Sandworm Market." A message from Dox came from the Mind Tie.

Angel: "***It's just a side topic. I came to you to ask about your experience in the Princess's Castle."

Dox laughed strangely: "Why, are you also interested in the Princess's way of playing?"

Angel explained calmly: "We have two talents that we haven't found. According to the information we received, they seem to have been taken away by the Princess last night."

"One is called Golos, with fair skin and light golden hair; the other is called Blaze, with dark skin and dark brown hair, and seems to have bandages on his hands."

"Have you seen any trace of them in the Princess's Castle?"

Dox was silent for a few seconds, then sighed: "So they are the talents you are looking for, tut tut."

Angel heard the weirdness in Dox's tone: "Have you seen them?"

Dox: "Of course, the wonderful performance I just mentioned, they are the protagonists... Oh, no, the Princess is the protagonist, and these two are supporting roles."

Angel: "Are they in the Princess's room?"

Dox: "Hmm."

"How are they doing?" Angel's subconscious meaning was, are they still alive?

Dox: "I don't know what the situation is, I haven't seen it to the end, but according to the princess's way of playing, you will lose a layer of skin if you don't die."

......

Angel ended the call with Dox and said to Melo beside him: "I got the location information of the two of them, they are in the princess's room."

Angel: "Let's go now."

After speaking, Angel turned around and walked towards the stairs on the first floor, and the others hurried to follow.

Melo wanted to ask Angel what information he got and the situation of Kolos and Blaze, but before he could open his mouth, he heard movement on the first floor.

There was also a faint smell of blood.

Angel also smelled it, but he did not stop, but sped up and walked to the first floor.

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

The gargoyle waved its flesh wings and hovered high, its eyes fixed on a human below. At this time, the door of the first floor had been blocked by it, and the human was like a bird in a cage, unable to escape at all. And it can play unscrupulously... until it kills him completely.

The gargoyle's evil eyes followed the human with many bloodstains on his body, and he didn't know that there were other people on the first floor watching him.

"What happened? That person seemed to be wearing the standard armor of the Princess Castle, why was he chased by the gargoyle?" Ms. Melo asked in confusion.

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

The human being chased by the gargoyle was Tom, the little boy who came to the prison with the leader before.

His skills are quite strong, but it seems that he has not received formal training. Even with a sharp dagger in his hand, he is basically unable to resist the gargoyles that can dive and attack at any time from high altitudes.

After a while, several more deep bloody wounds were added to Little Tom's body.

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

And this is obviously the purpose of the gargoyle. If it really wanted to kill little Tom, it could definitely kill him with one strike, but it didn't do that. It probably just wanted little Tom to watch it bleed to death.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

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

The door on the first floor was sealed by gargoyles, and they had only three ways to leave.

First, break the wall... But there are a large number of magic energy arrays carved on the wall, and based on the entire prison, it is not that simple to break.

Second, kill the gargoyles. As soon as the gargoyle dies, the door it controls will naturally open.

Third, wait for the gargoyle to kill the human. When the time comes, the gargoyle will turn into a statue again 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. Mello's question because he directly expressed his choice with action.

Several pale white phantom limbs like tentacles were seen spreading from Angel's body. These phantom limbs were extremely fast and tied up the gargoyle before it could react at all.

The gargoyle was surprised that there were people on the first floor!

However, this surprise was also its last thought before death, because the next second, the phantom limb gently squeezed, and the gargoyle was broken into countless pieces.

After retracting his phantom limb, Angel ignored the gargoyle's body and walked up to Little Tom.

"Honorable Lord Wizard, are you here?"

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

But Angel knew that little Tom could never see himself. His appearance 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 possible, I hope you will not kill me. My inspiration is very strong. I can become your servant and serve you."

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

Little Tom's words made Angel raise his eyebrows slightly. Unexpectedly, little Tom's appearance is really not a coincidence, he does have a talent for inspiration. Moreover, this kind of inspirational talent is estimated to have considerable potential.

Otherwise, with little Tom's strength, he would never have been able to sense that Angel was following behind them.

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

Little Tom secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as they can communicate, there is at least a chance: "Because I vaguely feel that this may be my chance."

"What chance do you have of killing 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 were no other injuries on the leader's body. In other words, he most likely died before the wandering apprentices escaped, and the wandering apprentices who escaped did not treat him. body to vent his anger. His death was not caused by the wandering apprentice. It was most likely that he was unprepared and was attacked from behind.

At that time, Angel vaguely speculated 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 the team leader brought into the prison was little Tom.

"Yes, I was the one who killed the team leader. However, I thought at the time that the adults must have some purpose in following us, and maybe they would kill the team leader in the end. But the adults didn't do that, so I had no choice but to do it myself."

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

When little Tom talked about the experience of killing the leader, his expression was obviously filled with joy.

"According to what you said, if I follow you and kill the leader, then I will definitely kill you too. Aren't you worried 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 calm, but the determination hidden under the calmness was quite powerful.

Angel: "He has a grudge against you?"

Little Tom: "A bloody feud."

Angel understood that it seemed that little Tom entered the Princess's castle and flattered the team leader and became a close 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 simply: "If I can avoid death, 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 said was entirely true.

He does have the will to die, but he also has the expectation of living 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 knelt on the ground: "Thank you, sir, I am willing to be your servant."

Angel: "Do you think I would want a traitor as a servant?"

Little Tom paused for a moment.

Yes, even if Little Tom had a blood feud with the leader, he was still a traitor. In the eyes of others, even if he had reasons, he was still a traitor.

And the wizard in front of him obviously thought so.

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

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

After speaking, Angel gently stretched out his finger and touched Little Tom's brow.

Little Tom's expression was dull for a moment, but soon 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 treatment, Little Tom stood up, bowed in the direction of Angel, and then turned away without saying a word.

When Little Tom's figure completely disappeared from the door, Ms. Melo, who witnessed all the previous conversations, asked curiously: "Sir, do you have any plans for him?"

Angel: "It's not me who has plans for him, it's you who have plans for him."

Ms. Melo was stunned for a moment, looking puzzled.

Angel: "His inspiration is very high. This level of inspiration means that his mental power value will not be bad. I asked him to find Old Potter. After you leave the castle, go and check his talent. If possible, investigate his background. If everything is fine, he can also be listed as a gifted person this time."
