Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1112 - 722: Let’s Pull Off a Big One (Part 3)

Actually, the people hiding in the cellar were eventually discovered; they probably suspected our identities...

Todd didn't say this out loud. He looked at the children's protective eyes towards him and suddenly felt his heartbeat accelerate a bit, but he immediately pursed his lips and patted the children's heads, saying:

"Compared to your Uncle here, you're still far behind. Keep practicing!"

If I really plan to escape, I should take these two kids with me, right?

To be honest, these two kids' lies have saved me twice already. Although Todd is good at tricking others, he still has some thought of repayment in his heart at the very least.

What's more, the talent of these two kids might be even stronger than mine. Hehehe, if nurtured well, the future looks promising, and I won't have to worry about having no one to take care of me in my old age!

So now I need to train these two to become my loyal followers!

Thinking of this, Todd couldn't help but smile, leaning over to whisper to the children with a playful tone:

"Follow me, I've hidden two pieces of candy. Today's reward for your wit, don't call the others out for now, or you won't get them."

"Yay!" The two children cheered softly, full of anticipation as they followed Todd further away. To them, Todd's possibly spoiled candy seemed more worth celebrating than the ice cream sent by Anleisi.

A whole day passed, and by nightfall, Hepa Town fell into a dead silence.

Todd was staring blankly at the empty table. The noise from the morning seemed like a long time ago and couldn't affect the night at all. Just then, the door suddenly swung open.

"I'm back! Today, succeeded in getting two people to praise Mad Fire before they died, but some still said they'd rather die than believe in heresy..."

Under the moonlight, Dorian returned with a large bundle, chatting away incessantly as he tossed the parcel aside, focusing only on sharing today's gains with Todd, his beloved friend.

In the past, Todd would agree while providing emotional value and opening the package to see if there's anything good inside, but today was different; today they needed to talk business.

Almost a month has passed, and Dorian's appearance hasn't changed much; when talking about Mad Fire, he seemed refreshed, and his eyes had a touch of innocence.

Absolutely different from back when he partnered with Eliphas, his eyes had all the murk washed away.

In Todd's words, he looked increasingly like a big fool.

But a big fool with high combat power, so he needed the other's strength in the current situation. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"We need to leave here, my friend." Todd, with hands crossed under his chin, his old glasses glinting.

"Why?" Dorian froze for a moment.

"Because the war is escalating, the Magic Sky Curtain is coming."

The Magic Sky Curtain is a powerful move used by magicians during group battles. With its help, magicians can gather magic power more conveniently and swiftly, and the power of magic will also be amplified.

When magicians open the Magic Sky Curtain on the battlefield, it signifies the arrival of the most brutal stage of war; it will be the moment when super large magic and even forbidden curses start bombarding.

Todd had prepared a pile of reasons to persuade Dorian.

But unexpectedly, the other party simply nodded and said:

"Alright, then let's go. I'm tired of playing here anyway."

So obedient!?

This time, it was Todd's turn to be stunned, but he quickly recovered, smiling and clapping, saying, "Great, we'll definitely find more believers in other places. No time to lose, let's set off overnight now, if we run we should be able to..."

"No need to run, I just brought back a usable tool."

As he said this, Dorian opened up his bundle, taking out a human-head-sized iron box shimmering with a light silvery-blue color, the texture looked very advanced.

Only one problem; the box had the Holy Light Church's emblem, identical to the one Anleisi and they saw this morning.

"This thing is quite interesting, it's my first time seeing it."

As he said this, he pressed a part of the box, instantly transforming it. It finally assembled into a steel celestial horse, obviously a powerful magic tool full of horsepower!

Its cost must have been high, absolutely a high-end product!

Todd looked stunned.

Todd started trembling.

Todd spoke shakily:

"W-Where did you get this thing?"

His voice was filled entirely with fear because there's no choice but to be scared, this thing...

This thing is none other than the Holy Light Church's Magic-guided Celestial Horse!

This morning when Anleisi mentioned it, they were so proud!

Dorian, what's going on with you, how could you even get such a thing, just what places do you go to every day!

"How did you get this exactly!" Todd was about to scream.

"I picked it."

Dorian replied succinctly.

"..."

Todd already didn't know what to say, Dorian kept refreshing his understanding.

However, this seems to be a good thing; with such an advanced Magic-guided Celestial Horse, they could flee far, far away tonight without fearing the Magic Sky Curtain anymore.

But just then, he suddenly sensed something amiss, touched the celestial horse, perceiving the magic wave frequency from it, his face suddenly turned pale.

"This thing is transmitting a location!!!"

Such an advanced item, how could the Holy Light Church not have a tracker!

"We must run, we have to run right now!"

If caught by the Holy Light Church, it'll be worse than death!

"Taptaptap—"

Just in his dreadful panic.

The silent Hepa Town was awakened by a hurried clatter of hooves, followed by endless noise.

Todd was instantly petrified, muttering to himself:

"We're done for..."
