Chapter 341 The round of the masterminds behind the scenes

Adventurers Association Headquarters.

Twelve o'clock at night.

In the dark room, only a weak light was lit, and Carver's lenses were illuminated by the light, reflecting the newspaper under his lenses, which was densely packed with news.

He turned over the pages in silence.

He wasn't "paying attention."

While pretending to be extra busy with other things at hand, he was actually listening carefully to the report given by the blond "boy" in front of him——

"Mr. Carver...the above is the news of his death - and all subsequent news handling. Please don't worry, he is the one who is least valued in everyone's eyes."

Liebeier finished his statement and ended with a respectful bow.

"Then you...did it really beautifully."

Carver finally moved his eyes away from the newspaper and turned to Libel.

"Since there are no other problems, I will leave for now. After all, there are still matters regarding the Radiant Knight waiting for my subordinates to resolve."

He smiled and kept everything as if it were a "normal superior-subordinate relationship" and as if "he was still Carver's most trusted black glove."

but……

"Don't leave in a hurry yet."

Carver suddenly stopped him.

"...Any other instructions?"

"I'm just a little curious. Why did he choose the Corridor of Dust? We should have given him at least five dungeons... Oops, is it such a coincidence?"

Carver pushed up his glasses slightly, raised his head, and squinted his eyes, as if waiting for an answer from him.

"No matter where he goes, I will kill him exactly as you say Mr. Carver, that's all."

Lieber thought he had given a "safe" answer, but was trapped by Carver's next question——

"You never seem to wonder why I would do something to my own child?"

If the previous question was obviously testing whether he knew what was special about the Corridor of Dust, this question was testing his understanding of Carver.

"As a person who just receives a salary from the Adventurers Association and works for this purpose, I only follow your orders and don't care what happens behind the scenes."

His eyes changed slightly.

"Furthermore, as a down-and-out noble from a big family, I can find more than a dozen reasons like this, not to mention a hundred."

"That's true."

"I will take my leave."

With the sound of his boots on the ground, Carver's office fell into silence again, a lamp burning quietly, and he read the news in the newspaper.

For those who are absolutely "on top," every day's news is no fun. The "big news" written above - such as certain actions of adventurers and transactions between various companies - were nothing more than things he had discussed a month ago.

A gust of cold wind opened the window, and the curtains were blown up by the gust of wind, traveling to his table and blowing out the lamp he placed on the table.

For others, this may be just a normal thing that happens at night.

but……

"Miss Desi Anwei, the next time you come in, you can go through the front door. No one dares to stop you here."

For Carver, this seemed to herald the arrival of "an old friend."

Carver closed the newspaper, raised his eyes, and waited for someone to "appear" in front of him.

What he was waiting for was not something that "appeared" in front of him, but behind him, a pale hand went around the back of the chair and touched his chin.

However, there is nothing "intimate" about this action and hand shape. On the contrary, it is more like touching him in a way that can directly break his neck from behind.

She spoke in his ear:

"I just want to give you a little surprise. After all, today should be a very happy day for you."

Then, following her hands that were so pale that they didn't look like a "living person", they gradually appeared throughout her body.

Her long silver hair was slightly curly and seemed to have a hint of red at the end. She was not wearing shoes and was "floating" on the ground, but her toes touched the floor lightly.

Her eyes were blood red, making people shudder in the cold moonlight.

Her voice is so gentle, so gentle that it seems to lure you into her trap.

She was wearing a gorgeous snow-white dress, dotted with bright red Bianhua flowers, like blood stains blooming on the edge of her skirt.

——This is a "vampire" that only appears in dungeons, right?

I believe everyone who sees her for the first time will say this.

"It's really fun. After so many events that have gone beyond the original trajectory, it is pleasant to be able to get something back on track."

Carver was particularly relaxed when faced with the greeting that put his hand on his chin, as if he was about to break his neck.

When Desi Anwei heard this, she pouted slightly, let go of her hand, walked around to the opposite side of the table, and sat on it.

"But I'm a little unhappy."

"My Lady Empress, is there anything that makes you unhappy?"

"That good son of yours killed my favorite little bug, how do you want to compensate me?"

Her tone was a bit "unreasonable".

"I remember... the money I paid at that time should be a 'purchase' and not a 'borrowing', right?"

Carver's tone was more like coaxing a child.

"But...it's very useful. It's still a little bit unpleasant when the bugs that cost a lot of 'death' to raise are dead."

She swayed on her feet, watching her bare toes move back and forth in the moonlight.

Then……

She suddenly "looked back".

Not by "turning his head", but by tilting his whole head back and "turning his head" by directly breaking his neck.

Click.

You could even hear her neck snap.

But she herself seemed to have no impression at all.

When she looked back, she could still smile, talk, and stare at Carver behind her.

"Yes, Mr. Carver, introduce me to a new person, and I'll be satisfied~"

"You still lack manpower? No problem. After all, you have created too many human beings on your own... who are closer to the existence of the underground city."

"Well... a delicious death will always be in short supply."

She happily lifted her head up with her hands and roughly put it back on.

"It's just that I'm a little disappointed. Originally, I thought that at this time and here, I could taste the sadness of being 'born because of death'..."

Suddenly, she leaned on the table and came close to Carver.

Her movements at this time did not look like something a "human" could do, but more like a dead "corpse" that could be manipulated at will.

"The child your favorite woman gave birth to died for you, and I didn't even feel a trace of sadness for his death."

Her blood-red eyes looked at Carver as if she wanted to swallow him whole.

"It's such a pity, Carver~ It's always a pity that I can't taste your sadness and witness your death."

"Really?" Carver narrowed his eyes and showed his trademark smile. "I originally thought there would be a bit of sadness. Maybe... I didn't even realize it myself. I was numb, right?"

"..."

Daisy Anway was silent for a moment.

"Boring, a guy who's further away from people than me."

She commented that just as she came here quietly, she left silently.

Chapter 341: Round on the other side of the stage (3k)

Will followed Liber with vigilance.

He was taken out of the Corridor of Dust by Libel - the "back door" that could not be discovered from the Adventurers Association. Then, we came to the nearby underground city "Mengxia". Here, he realized that Liber was not lying. The "risky dungeon" listed by the Adventurers Association was indeed their "base".

"Go to the end of this corridor and you can see Ms. Li Weiqi. Of course, maybe you can tell that our stronghold is also a mezzanine built inside the underground city."

He suddenly stopped, put his hands behind his back, looked at Will respectfully like a "guest", and then extended his hand towards the door.

Will looked around with the devil's left eye. At least there were no traces of spiritual magic on or behind the door.

In addition, there were no traces of magic on the ground where the door was entered.

Proof that there really aren’t any pitfalls. Of course, if he wanted to harm himself, he wouldn't go to all the trouble to bring himself here.

The names "Top of the Galaxy" and "Li Weiqi" he exposed were indeed not "traps" to induce him to die.

"Don't worry. I'm not deceiving you. Ms. Li Weiqi pays close attention to you and she has been looking forward to when she can meet you."

Lieber spoke as if he had seen through Will's cautious thoughts.

"...Is she here?"

"Yes. You can see her when you open the door. But the exit is not here. Next, I have to return to your father. The next time we meet may be the enemies on both sides of the dungeon."

Will thought to himself, did his words mean that he, a dead person, had been pushed to the side of the dungeon?

He nodded and turned to open the door.

When he was born into this world, he imagined whether he would have the opportunity to see the blonde beauty described in the original work——

The empress, Li Weiqi, was born in the underground city "Top of the Galaxy" in Novis Town.

Various species in the dungeon have racial descriptions that fit the "Western Fantasy" background, except Li Weiqi. In all descriptions, she seems more "human".

When she appeared on the stage, she seemed as beautiful as having a halo that made people unable to take their eyes away - her shining blond hair was draped behind her back like a waterfall, occasionally falling a few strands by her ears. She was tall and wearing a pair of black high-heeled shoes, similar to The military uniform adds a bit of coolness.

None of this is the point.

She gives people the impression that she is a tough leader who, while being "gentle" to her own people, is able to manage everyone under her obediently and handle all relationships well.

It makes you think she is "kind" and at the same time, you are convinced of her.

Finally, she also has a "mystery" that may be the most truthful thing in the entire book. She has no fewer secrets than Xiu. In the parts that Will read, he has never seen her as a "monster".

So her ability is also something Will is curious about.

If the names of dungeons can "guess" the tendencies and types of monsters in them, then what is "Top of the Galaxy"? Symbolizing the Milky Way? Could it be that he could control the stars?

While thinking this, he opened the door and smelled the aroma of wine coming from inside the house.

"This is……"

The strong aroma of wine and the extremely pure wine seemed to have a bit of refreshing mint. The moment he entered the room, it seemed to have reached his throat and penetrated his nose.

Chaos Alpha.

Even if Will forgets other things, he can't forget this glass of wine, which Li Weiqi likes very much in the tavern in the original work.

"Oh. I've heard about his name for a long time, maybe we should meet earlier."

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

This "mezzanine" was very different from the place that Will remembered when Leah took him into it for the first time. It was much smaller, just like an "office". Both sides of the room were filled with bookshelves. Will observed Look, the title of the book above is not written in modern language, so I can't understand it at all.

The source of the sound is on the chair in front of you——

The same voice as he remembered, or at least the same voice in the "animated" version of the original work.

"After all, you and I should both be 'awakened'. It's a pity that you have never discovered my existence."

She turned the chair with one foot so that its back was facing him, and then she put her hand on the table.
