Chapter 230: I Was a Mole in My Previous Life

"Huh? A druid brought the latest prosthetic body made by Brother Karl?"

In the restaurant, while the deer brought back by Lisanna was still being cooked, Mitris told her what she had just experienced.

This naturally attracted the attention of Nia and Lisanna, but the direction of their attention was very different.

"Ah~, that's great. I also want to go on an adventure in Xen'drik. I wonder what treasures Brother Carl can find. I'm so curious! Brother Carl hasn't mailed me any special products for so long. He must be over there. Play like crazy.”

Lisanna, who was a little heartless, was naturally focused on adventure, but Nia was thinking much more deeply.

After looking at Mitris again, Nia asked in a low voice: "Is there anything in the way?"

After hearing what Nia said, Mitrice quickly explained:

"No, it seems that the person has no ill intentions. He just wants me to help test the effects of the prosthetic body."

After a pause, Mitrice continued: "But based on the other party's attitude, he seems to be very familiar with Karl. I don't know what Karl encountered in Xen'drik."

Just as the two were discussing serious matters, Lisanna on the side suddenly took over the conversation and dug a hole for Karl.

"Hmph! Xen'drik is the hometown of Drow. Brother Karl hasn't written to us for so long. He must have learned bad things there!

Sister Hope is completely obedient to him, and Ying can't control him! Maybe he will bring a group of drow concubines with him when he comes back! "

After saying that, Lisanna felt as if the temperature around her dropped a few degrees out of thin air, and couldn't help but shiver.

She also realized that what she just said was a bit inappropriate, so she shut her mouth obediently.

Mitrice's eyes shifted back and forth between Lisanna and Nia several times, feeling a little unsure about the current atmosphere.

‘I was the one who lost my body after being tricked by that guy Karl. I didn’t even say anything about digging such a hole for him. Why does Lisanna, Karl’s good sister, keep saying this in front of Nia? Did Karl often bully Lisanna in the past? Or is this the natural black that Karl said? ’

While they were silent, the owner of the restaurant brought up the braised venison breast.

"Have a meal!"

Finally, Nia announced the signal for dinner.

Lisanna and Mitris felt like they were being pardoned and began to eat.

That night, the School of Change received Nia's travel application, along with one from Lisanna.

The acting director of the Tower of Ordnance naturally knew about the relationship between Nia and Karl, so he gave the green light all the way.

Early the next morning, the three of them took the lightning train bound for Sarn Port and left Akanix City.

…

Karl, who didn't know that Nia had brought Lisanna and No. 18 to kill him, had just woken up at this time.

During this time, they explored most of the rooms in this giant ruins.

But they soon discovered something worth pondering-so far, they had not explored a passage that could leave the giant ruins.

"At present, it is probably certain that this ruins is the residence of a certain cloud giant. According to the cloud giant's character, I suspect that there is something wrong with him in the area we are currently in."

Sitting on the huge chair in the vast hall, Karl analyzed various possibilities.

The entire giant mansion has now been roughly constructed as a three-dimensional map in Karl's mind, but Karl discovered that the areas leading to the secret passages are mostly independent of each other and do not look like a normal mansion at all.

In other words, the place connected by this secret passage should be a hidden area that has no intersection with the normal giant's mansion.

And if they want to leave, they need to find the intersection of the two and then leave from the normal area.

Based on Karl's guess, he felt that there was a high probability that this place was near the Cloud Giant Lord's bedroom or study.

"So far we have explored all the main secret passages, but still haven't found a way to leave. It seems that the cloud giant should have hidden this place."

After speaking, Karl leaned back and said that there was nothing he could do now.

There was a brief silence in the hall, but Bain quickly said:

"Don't worry, sometimes it's like this when looking for something. When you try hard to find it, it just doesn't appear, but when you relax, it suddenly appears in front of you.

Our food reserves were sufficient and we had enough time to find a way to leave. "

Even so, when he finished saying this, he still sighed secretly.

Not knowing how to leave inevitably makes people a little anxious.

At this time, Ying seemed to have something to say.

She raised her right hand and straightened her body like Karl did before.

Karl nodded towards Shadow, gesturing for her to speak.

But Ying's height was much lower than that of the giant, so she could only try to stand on the chair.

But when she tried to get up from the giant's chair, the sole of her shoe hit somewhere on the edge of the chair.

The chair that seemed to be connected to the ground suddenly heard a soft sound, and the chair surface suddenly sank in, almost swallowing Ying up.

Fortunately, Ying's skills were quite good. She turned over with a kite and fell off the chair.

Karl and others paused briefly, then quickly stood up and rushed towards the chair where Ying was sitting just now.

"It looks like some kind of trap was used."

After quickly checking the chair, Karl took out the secret eye device and threw it into the leaking channel under the chair.

The size of this passage is somewhat inappropriate for giants, but considering that cloud giants are often quite skilled mages, and shrinking is not a difficult spell, Carl felt that the other party might be using this to communicate.

Following another secret passage, the Secret Eye quickly came to a dark space.

Just as Carl was about to control it to move forward, a skeleton suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"Bang!"

The bone stick smashed down, and the Secret Eye mechanism was knocked out.

"Undead?"

Carl, who was sitting next to the chair, muttered in confusion, but Bain and others beside him suddenly changed their faces.

There are undead in this ruins that have existed for who knows how many years. What level are they?

If it is the undead of the giant, it is still unclear whether they can beat it!

Sensing the uneasiness of his companions, Carl quickly explained: "Don't worry, it's just a very ordinary undead, it's not even level 3, hiss~, and it's only medium-sized."

This remark calmed Bane down, but then another question arose in everyone's mind-where did this thing come from?

Without further delay, Carl called Ying, and the two of them got into the secret passage under the giant's seat and walked towards another secret room led by the secret passage.

In his previous life, Carl had seen a blogger on a short video platform build many small secret rooms in various places in his hometown, and he was envious at that time.

So he felt that the owner of this relic might have the same idea as that blogger.

These secret rooms and secret passages were nested one after another, and Carl was almost vomiting.

Soon, the two jumped into the room where the secret eye mechanism was attacked along the secret passage.

The skeleton was still holding a thigh bone as a weapon, but he looked a little dazed.

Flying down, Shadow instantly moved behind the skeleton through Shadow Step. The psychic blade shone in the dark environment, and the soul fire of the skeleton extinguished in a swaying.

"This guy's soul strength is probably only about level 2."

Looking at the skeleton falling to the ground, Shadow commented truthfully.

There were almost no other exits in the room, which made it difficult for Carl to determine how this guy got in for a while.

Reaching out and knocking on the walls around, the thick sound let Carl know that there was no secret compartment here.

"The entire wall is forged with metal mixed with refined gold. What is the necessity of this room?"

Analyzing to himself, but Carl felt that he was a little behind the designer of the secret room.

But soon, Carl noticed something wrong.

"The duration of the giant transformation and shrinking skills is only one minute. It's almost the limit to jump down from above and walk here. If he returns to normal size here, won't he be squeezed to death?"

After a brief doubt, Carl seemed to have thought of something and took out something similar to a jack from the dimension bag.

Then, he took out two metal rods that were also mixed with refined gold.

After combining the things, a deformed version of the jack that could support the two metal walls was ready.

Carl shook the handle and the jack slowly opened.

A tooth-grinding metal friction sound followed, and the wall facing the entrance of the secret passage was pushed out little by little!

"What kind of design is this! Was that cloud giant a mole in his previous life?"

After cursing at the wall, Carl suddenly saw a corpse whose bones were almost rotten.

The corpse was missing a thigh, which seemed to be the leg bone used as a weapon by the undead just now.

"It should be that he didn't have time to run away when the mechanism rebounded, so his leg was crushed."

After checking the scene, Ying gave his own opinion.

Walking out along the gap, the passage outside was indeed much larger.

A huge button was placed on the wall, which seemed to be the mechanism for controlling the wall.

Carl simulated it a little bit and found that if the wall was completely stretched open, a giant could just reach out and press this button.

Carl pressed it without hesitation, turned back to the room just now, and took down the jack and metal rod.

Sure enough, the metal wall no longer returned to its previous position, as if it was stuck.

"Come down! It seems that we can leave here!"

He shouted to the top, and Hope and others who had been waiting for a long time entered one after another.

Following the secret passage behind, the group quickly walked out of the corner of a gorgeous room.

There was also a stone wardrobe connected to the outside of the vent. It seemed that the cloud giant seemed to have entered and exited here in this way.

Walking out of the wardrobe, the group immediately noticed the open door.

Cautiously walking to the door, Bane briefly scouted and found that there was no danger outside.

"It seems that we have finally found a way to leave!"

Just as he said this, a dragon roar came from the passage outside the door.

Bane's smile just now froze on his face, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
