Chapter 248: Every Failure Makes You Wiser
"Do you think what that guy just said is true?"
On the way back to his camp, Hope asked Karl with a solemn face.
The shadow on the side also cast a searching look at Karl, with a little vigilance on his face.
Karl knew that they did not fully believe the Li Meng Zhuoer's words.
"Of course not!"
After adjusting the helmet of his power armor, Karl's voice revealed the maturity of someone who had experienced it.
Then he continued:
"But I think she should be kind to us. After all, a psychic master can quietly influence your opinion of her, even if Ying and I both have certain attainments in psychic powers."
You can't trust others based on their one-sided words. This is Karl's biggest gain after being framed many times.
"It's better if you don't! You always trust others too easily. I don't know how you develop this character. Lisanna is obviously very wary in this regard."
Speaking of this, Hope couldn't help but miss Lisanna in Khorvaire, who fulfilled all her fantasies about her future daughter.
"Well~, this is probably because when we were little, I often teased her with snacks, so she became like this."
He covered his heart with some self-blame, and Karl seemed a little guilty when he talked about this matter.
Then, as expected, Karl received a reproachful look from Hope and Shadow.
Following the tunnel they had come down before, they returned to the entrance of the cave, and the three of them climbed up skillfully.
In the distance, Bain and others saw Karl and others returning, and hurriedly came to greet them.
"How's it going? What did you find?"
Deliberately avoiding the four drow, Bain approached Karl and asked in a low voice.
This cautious look made Karl a little funny, but he still cooperated with the other party and quietly answered the results of this exploration.
After hearing that the Limeng Drow and the sleeping Nightmare might have been fighting for centuries, the half-orc, who was only in his thirties but had already completed half of his life, let out a short-lived cry. sigh.
"Haha! Don't be too sad. Nia is a genius of the School of Change. She has already mastered the production of beauty-preserving potions. It is only a matter of time for her to learn the craftsmanship of the elixir of youth. By then, she will be able to live for at least two years. More than a hundred years old.”
Speaking of this matter, Karl immediately thought of his master Moore's current research topic.
If Bain was really unlucky enough to be unable to extend his life, he felt that he could carry out some mechanical modifications for Bain.
‘I just don’t know what Scorpion’s attitude is towards this matter, but I feel that she would be very happy, at least she doesn’t have to watch Bain die in front of her. ’
Completely unaware that his ethical thinking was moving in the direction of the Mechanicus, Karl planned this in his heart.
"Then let them go? It seems like there is no need to stay."
At this moment, Xie on the side pointed at the four trapped drow in the distance and asked Karl for his opinion.
"Let them go. That Limeng Zhuoer showed me how to leave the Dark Area. There is no need for us to continue to tie them up, but..."
Speaking of this, Karl couldn't help but recall his conversation with Limeng Zhuoer again.
After recounting those grievances, she expressed her plea for Kal to help her children escape the Underdark.
The bloodlines of the dream spirit she corresponds to and the incubus spirit have merged in reality, and it is difficult for the two to completely eliminate each other.
But more drow actively believe in the Incubus, indulge their desires, and use other males to help them practice.
The dream spirit didn't want the rest of his descendants to become like this.
Although it was difficult to tell the truth from what the other party said, Karl felt that he should not reject the other party just like that.
He also suspected whether the other party used spiritual energy to have some secret influence on him, but Karl's spiritual energy did not give any feedback on this.
Returning to the camp, Karl had the gags removed from the four drow's mouths.
The four drow stopped shouting this time, but looked at Karl with a strange look.
"Have you met the mistress?"
I don’t know how they distinguished this, but Karl could hear the determination in their voices.
Karl didn't hide anything, so he told the story of his encounter with Li Mengzhuoer again.
"It seems that you are indeed not the Fallen, so... those drow are actually from Obsidian City?"
Although guarded, the psychic powers of these four drows can still detect some information from the conversations and thoughts of ordinary drows.
The term "Obsidian City" was naturally noticed by them.
"Why do you care about this?"
The four drow who were no longer noisy were untied. Karl sat on the rock and asked curiously.
On the opposite side, the drow named Su replied:
"We originally hoped to introduce the firebenders from Obsidian City or the Shadow Shapers who disappeared in the realm of Khyber to resist the Fallen, but now it seems..."
Looking at the Obsidian City drow who were not much stronger than himself, Su's subsequent words turned into a sigh.
Obsidian City once even tried to ignite the world, but after the coup, it gradually weakened to the point where it is now.
"It is better to rely on yourself than on others. If one of you, or even your mistress, can be promoted to Legendary, all the difficulties now will not be a problem."
Although he was sitting now, Carl warned the drow with an attitude of speaking without any pain.
But how can it be so easy to break through to Legendary?
Even the Queen of Aundair, who has the support of the Kingdom of Aundair and the Magic Council, has not yet been promoted to Legendary.
But the four drow nodded seriously, as if they agreed with Carl's words.
'Why do you agree? Your mistress should be only level 16 at most. Who gave you the courage to nod? Fish Leong? '
Carl felt that in the context of the previous conversation, at least one companion or elder who had the hope of being promoted to Legendary was qualified to nod in agreement.
But Carl did not care too much about this matter. He signaled the drow of Obsidian City to give each of them a chair, and Carl began to ask about the most concerned thing for everyone now-the specific method of leaving the Dark Region.
Although the drow mistress had pointed out the direction to Carl, just like everyone knew that the Great Leiyin Temple was in Tianzhu, the actual route could not just be to head straight to the corresponding direction.
Xuanzang also had to plan a reasonable route to Tianzhu according to the direction of the mountains and rivers.
Of course, while asking this question, Carl was also thinking whether it would be more "convenient" to use the teleportation array to return to the surface.
If, like in the underground city, they just made a disposable extraordinary machine to teleport, and teleported several people at a time, it might be faster than them walking to the surface.
