Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1110 - 722: Let’s Go Big

The siblings led everyone to hide in the cellar; no one would have guessed that such a small house could actually have a cellar big enough to hide more than a dozen people.

Before leaving, the two children looked worriedly at Todd, who waved them away before they finally left.

"I hope those coming are civilized people; speaking with civilized people is the easiest."

Todd watched the approaching figures, adjusted his collar, and went up with calm composure.

He dared to face them alone, letting everyone else hide, as he felt he performed best without others interfering.

Having learned trickery and deception since childhood, he was well-accustomed to dealing with all sorts of significant events!

Come on, let me see which side these newcomers belong to and organize my words in advance!

As they got closer, Todd narrowed his eyes to closely observe the tattered banner hanging from a horse, then sighed and organized his words before calling out:

"Greetings, members of the Starfire Church. What wind brought you to our poor little town this morning? I have always been a supporter of the Primordial Flame, as Fire Transmission is the greatest—"

"Whoosh!"

"Ugh, ah ah ah!"

Before he could finish, Todd suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, clutching his arrow-struck thigh, crying out in agony.

His brows furrowed deeply as cold sweat streamed down.

What's wrong with these people, launching arrows just like that without saying a word!?

Though they're not the major church, I heard the Starfire Church is civilized and polite. Could this all have been a disguise!?

Oh no, am I going to die here?

"Oh, it's a wild Magician?"

As the troop's horse hooves stopped behind him, a crisp female voice rang out. Todd forced a flattering smile despite discomfort, "There must be a misunderstanding between us..."

At this moment, he suddenly widened his eyes, seeing the girl's appearance.

The girl had gentle green hair and delicate features; though clad in shiny silver armor, she did not seem seasoned in battle.

Todd did not recognize her, but what made him widen his eyes was the mark of the Holy Light Church imprinted on her chest plate.

He abruptly stood up and looked again, seeing all the horse riders clad in Holy Light Church's standard armor!

What he saw from afar was actually the Starfire Church's flag, cut in half and fastened to the saddle.

This was clearly the appearance of a trophy! Why hang the enemy's flag so high!?

Todd's mind screamed a thousand complaints.

"Sniff sniff, hmm, you don't smell like a rebel," the girl turned to a stern young man on horseback and said, "Brother, he's a civilian."

As she spoke, she deftly pulled out the arrow from Todd's thigh. Before he had time to scream, the girl touched the wound.

Without seeing the Healing Magic glow, the deep wound automatically healed, bringing Todd an intensely pleasant sensation that nearly whitened his vision.

"Why is a civilian here then? Could he be a spy sent by the rebels?" a knight loudly questioned.

"Indeed," the girl smacked Todd's face, suddenly causing sharp pain that made him howl out, "Are you a spy?"

"No, no, I'm a good citizen!"

With any more pain, Todd's rationality would crumble.

As soon as he uttered these words, the pain vanished, and he panted while hearing the girl say, "He says he's not a spy."

Who are these people!? The Holy Light Church I know isn't this brutal! They must be mercenaries recruited temporarily!

"I don't believe it." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The knight who had questioned earlier jumped off his horse, pointing his sword at Todd's throat, "He mentioned the Starfire Church just now! What's your name, and what are you doing here!"

"My name is Todd, Todd Speck! I'm here to scavenge some good stuff amid the war!"

Todd lied, but this lie sounded very realistic under the current circumstances.

"Hmph, another scavenging rat; seen too many these days," the knight snorted, appearing to actually believe him.

This was mainly because he saw the things placed in a nearby small house, which Dorian had previously scavenged, some indeed picked from the battlefield, instantly increasing credibility.

The girl lost interest in Todd, stood up, and said, "It's all the fault of those Starfire Church people launching a sudden attack, causing us to lose direction. This place isn't even a battlefield area, brother, shall we head back?"

The expressionless young man nodded from beginning to end without uttering a word.

"Wait," the knight's sword still pointed at Todd, "Since we're here, might as well gather some supplies to take back; we're running short on resources, and this town looks abandoned not long ago."

Upon hearing this, Todd's eyes lit up.

Perhaps he could pledge allegiance to the Holy Light Church! These people looked quite capable of fighting, maybe even capable of protecting him from Dorian's clutches!

"I can lead the way—"

Before he finished, the sword tip pierced slightly into his throat, the flowing blood making him dare not move anymore.

"After all, he's a scavenging rat, and without certainty about his identity, might as well kill him here for safety."

"!!!"

This time, no one opposed it; the girl waved a hand to turn and leave.
