Thanks to the protection of the Holy Light, the rest of the road went smoothly, even a bit boring. After tracking for most of the day, everyone was a little tired. Finally, they stopped next to an underground pool, planning to rest for a while before returning.

Keep on your way.

Although the edge of the pool was damp and a little dirty, no one cared. Liam and other knights sat down directly on the spot, closed their eyes and rested, recovering the energy consumed by releasing the magic before. Everyone in the mercenary group also gathered around

They walked around in a circle, chatting in low voices while eating the food and dry rations they brought. On the outside of the camp, the private soldiers led by the young noble also gathered together, muttering to each other from time to time.

"Hey... I didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time."

Sitting in front of the fire, chewing on the hard dried meat, a mercenary shook his head and said.

"I think about all the times we went exploring in the Underdark before, we were always on tenterhooks. We were afraid that we would encounter some kind of monster, so we ended up in this ghost place. Originally, I thought I was going to die this time, but in the end, we were able to go so far...

By the way, from the look around here, it seems like no one else has been here yet, right?"

"Yes, this is our first time here."

As he spoke, another mercenary nodded and looked around with curious eyes. Beside the underground pool, there were mushrooms as tall as small trees everywhere, and their edges exuded a cold green color.

The bright light reflects the entire pond like a dream. If you look closely, you can see the green moss and blue crystal stones all around. If you ignore the dangers of the dark area, the scenery here is still very beautiful.

But at this moment, an old mercenary suddenly sighed.

"I never thought that that gentleman could be so powerful at such a young age..."

Hearing this, everyone who was still talking in low voices suddenly stopped talking as if their throats were being strangled. Then they turned their heads in unison and looked in the direction of Zhan En, as if they had a clear understanding.

Of course Zhan didn't hang out with these guys. At this moment, he and Elise were sitting alone on the stone on the other side, admiring the scenery in front of them. Although Elise's graceful figure is very eye-catching, but at the moment the mercenary

What we paid most attention to was the little girl running around.

From the beginning, this group of mercenaries couldn't figure out why Zhan En would bring such a little girl to the Underdark. She didn't look like a mage carrying a big bag. They didn't know what Zhan En was doing.

But now, they finally understand why this little girl appears here.

Under the gaze of everyone, Bix quickly took out various tableware from her backpack and placed them in front of Zhan and Elise. First, she made them a pot of steaming black tea, and then

I went to the pond to pick some mushrooms, washed them and cut them into slices, grilled them on the campfire, and then sprinkled some spices picked from the ground. Soon, an attractive fragrance spread by the pond, even those

The Paladin who was eating dry food couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look, the behavior of this noble..."

Seeing Bix diligently placing the grilled mushroom slices on the stone in front of Zhan, and even laying a layer of snow-white napkins on top, the mercenaries could only shake their heads and sigh with red eyes.

This nobleman just loves to enjoy himself. He is also out on patrol. When he stays here, he can only drink cold water and eat dried meat. But others can drink steaming black tea and enjoy delicious food that makes people eat. Look at him like this

It doesn't feel like being in the wilderness, it's almost like dining in a high-end restaurant!

"How ridiculous!"

Seeing Zhan and Elise enjoying themselves there, even the Paladin couldn't look past them. He glanced at them calmly and then turned around.

"Really, didn't he say before that those monsters would rely on scent to find prey? Now that he's so aggressive, isn't he afraid of attracting some troublesome things? This is also a water source. What if there are underground monsters coming here?

"

"I think Mr. Jenn should have his own ideas."

Hearing the complaints from his colleagues, Liam also showed a helpless smile. To be honest, if others had done this, they would have stopped it in the morning. But it was Zhan who did this, so even if they had any ideas, they could only hold it in

In my heart, after all this journey, Zhan En has proven with practical actions that he has a deep familiarity and understanding of the Underdark Region, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Moreover, this Underdark Region is extremely weird, and the common sense on the surface of the earth is completely different here.

Universal. So even if they have any ideas, they can only bury them in their hearts and dare not ask Zhan En. Otherwise, they will be ridiculed by the other party, which will be humiliating. Thinking of this, the three paladins also shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

, close your eyes again and start meditating, ignoring other things over there.

However, not everyone is so relaxed.

In the circle on the other side, Cotton's eyes were red, staring fiercely at the backs of Zhan and Elise. He bit his lip so hard that it almost bled!

This is simply too much!

Seeing Zhan leisurely enjoying black tea there, accompanied by the beauty, Cotton was so angry that he couldn't wait to draw his sword immediately and chop that damn, arrogant, despicable bastard into pieces!

Once upon a time, he once had such a glorious situation. However, due to his father's incompetence, the family declined. Cotton has always been worried about this. He practiced swordsmanship desperately in order to one day restore the glory and glory of the family. For this reason, he

He did not hesitate to bring his own bodyguards to this damn Dark Territory and deal with those ugly monsters all day long in the hope of climbing to the temple. As long as he made enough achievements in the Dark Territory, he would be rewarded by the Temple.

With the support of the temple, it will no longer be a dream to revive your family!

And the effort was effortless. After assisting the Paladins in repelling several underground monster attacks, his name did reach the ears of Locks, so he was summoned to participate in this operation. Initially, he heard that Locks

When called, Cotton was ecstatic. He knew very well that as long as he could complete this mission, he would definitely be recognized by Lord Rocks. By then, his dream of reviving his family would be just around the corner!

Cotton originally thought that the Templar Order would be responsible for this operation, but he did not expect that a down-and-out noble would be led by them. This made him extremely angry. Are you kidding me? The Black family has a long history, how could they allow such a down-and-out noble to lead them?

The noble was pointing fingers at him here?! It was precisely because he was unhappy that he signaled his confidants to test the other party. He didn't expect that this bastard would be so ruthless. He had already learned from his subordinates that even though Dorothy was alive

Worry-free, but he is completely paralyzed and will be unable to do anything except lie in bed.

Cotton was naturally furious when his confidant was treated so cruelly. If his subordinates hadn't tried their best to stop him, he would have rushed up on his own. Although after that, for the sake of the family's great cause of rejuvenation, Cotton had to reluctantly restrain himself.

He suppressed the anger in his heart, but he did not give up there.

What made him even more unhappy was the attitude of the Paladins along the way. Cotton was not a fool, and of course he could see the admiration of those Paladins for Zhan. This made him even more annoyed. What a joke, he had spent so much money on it.

Da Jin goes to church every day with a smiling face and pretends to be a grandson, but you don’t even look at me. Even when my confidant was beaten, you didn’t care. This bastard looks arrogant with his nostrils in the air, but you are like a flatterer.

Chasing him the same way! Are we, the Black family, just a rag in front of you, to be thrown away after use?

Thinking of this, Cotton's inner anger became more and more intense. He knew very well that this Zhan was very attentive to the Dark Underground and was very powerful. If he was allowed to complete this mission, then all the credit would definitely be his, and

I am just trying my best but not being able to please him. Even if I complain to Lord Rocks, I am afraid there will be no good results.

After working hard for a long time, I was humiliated, and all the benefits came to others. No one would be angry about this.

Not to mention that Zhan En acted arrogantly. Others drank cold water and ate dry food, but he was nice, drinking hot tea, eating delicious meals, and being served by beauties. Looking at this scene, Cotton felt as if he had fallen into a hot

Like a furnace, the burning anger almost ignited his whole body.

Damn it, he's just a bitch fooling around in the underdark. Why should he enjoy such good things? Even those damn mercenaries are in awe of him now. What's so good about that bastard? Damn it, all of this was originally

Mine! If it weren’t for that man…………

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Cotton's eyes. He lowered his head and clenched his fists.

"Sir, sir? Are you okay?"

Seeing Cotton's appearance, a servant next to him asked cautiously. They were all frightened along the way, not because they were afraid of being attacked by underground monsters, but because they were afraid that their master would be too angry to find trouble with that man. They

But knowing how powerful Doro is, he is not even a single enemy of the opponent, so wouldn't he die in vain if he went up to him?

What's more, that man is cruel and ruthless. When he thinks that Doro can only lie in bed and become a useless person for the rest of his life, others can't help but feel frightened. Since they are attendants, they are naturally not afraid of death. But if he becomes a person who can't move his hands and feet.

Trash, it's really better to have someone kill you. Because of this, these guys were frightened along the way, fearing that their master would not be able to think about it and deal with Zhan En.

"Do you think I look good?"

Hearing the attendant's words, Cotton glared at him fiercely.

"Think of any way you can kill that bastard!"

"this………………!"

Hearing this, the others were immediately shocked. They were really afraid of what might happen. Holy Lord, they didn't want to become Dorothy Second!

"Sir, sir, that Mr. Zhan En is too strong. We are no match for him. Even Mr. Doro..."

"Yes, yes, sir... please think again. That gentleman is cruel and ruthless. It seems that the Holy Church does not intend to take care of this matter. If we have a conflict with each other, if you have a problem...

…”

"Do you think I don't know?"

Hearing the frustrating words of his subordinates, Cotton glanced at them angrily. He also knew that Doro's experience scared these guys out of their courage. To be fair, even he himself definitely did not want to end up like Doro.

.

"I'm talking about finding other ways. Besides fighting and killing, don't you have anything else to do?!"

"this……………"

After hearing this, the attendants reacted. They looked at each other with troubled brows, but they really couldn't think of any good solution.

"Otherwise, we take the opportunity to poison their food..."

"Are you stupid? Are you pretending to be three paladins just to look good? If we are discovered by them then, won't we be even more unlucky?"

"What should we do? Or should we deliberately lead them into the depths of the Underdark? I heard that there are caves everywhere here. If you go in the wrong direction, you will never get out..."

"I'm more familiar with the Underdark than you are! What if we don't trap people in it, but we can't escape ourselves?"

Hearing the chatter among the attendants, Cotton felt depressed. He really had raised a bunch of rubbish, and he couldn't fight well. Even if they tried to think of some conspiracy, they couldn't come up with anything good.

"By the way! Sir, I have a good idea!!"

At this moment, an attendant suddenly clapped his hands as if he had thought of something. Seeing his look, Cotton also became energetic.

"Oh? What's your idea?"

"Did you see the lady?"

As he spoke, the attendant secretly gestured to the side. Cotton followed his gesture and soon saw Elise sitting next to Zhan.

"What's wrong?"

"My lord, haven't you noticed? The lady seems a little afraid of the man. I have observed it several times. They usually walk side by side, but as soon as the man turns to look at her, the lady will immediately take a few steps back.

, and keep a distance from him. I think that young lady must have been captured by that guy through some strong tactics. How about you take the opportunity to get close to that young lady and see what the situation is like? My lord, you are handsome and unrestrained, and you will definitely be able to get that lady.

With the love of this young lady, even if we take a step back, maybe we can get information about that guy from her. If that doesn't work, we can arrest her, and then your lord..."

After saying this, the attendant laughed twice and did not say any more, but everyone understood what he meant. No wonder, looking at Elise's delicate and frail appearance, how powerful could she be? When the time came, everyone swarmed up to her.

It's useless even if you have three heads and six arms, right?

After hearing the attendant's suggestion, Cotton pondered for a moment, then he turned his head and looked at that wonderful back, a glimmer of greed flashed in his eyes.
