Chapter 136. Who Said They Wouldn't Fire?
Zin'rokh followed Graviny's instructions and made a huge detour before returning to the battlefield.
They had already entered the firing range of the MCV, and Maica, who was sitting in the cockpit, had also noticed the return of the puppet.
Maica was too surprised, so surprised that he did not know if he should fire.
He gave a look to the other brown-covered ancient, and the latter stomped over to Evelyn.
"Respected Lady Evelyn, Maica asked me to ask you if you want to open fire?"
The Dark Elf looked at the two people on the puppet's back and snorted expressionlessly.
"This is a little trick by the demons to drive a wedge between us. Don't mind it.
Maica wiped the sweat off his face and heaved a sigh of relief.
It was his first time interacting with a Dark Elf like this, but the other party was actually so calm. This was simply too surprising.
"It's great that you're so wise. We won't fire."
However, Evelynn glared at him and said through gritted teeth, "Who said we're not firing? Blast him to death!"
Maica suddenly quivered.
The Dark Elves were truly terrifying!
On the other side, Char woke up and cursed at Zin'rokh countless times.
Fine, he could not f*cking clear his name!
"You've killed me so many times, it's not surprising that you want to take a little revenge."
Graviny laughed. Her voice gradually weakened, as if she was murmuring.
"It seems like this is the only way I can take revenge."
After that, she suddenly stood up, grabbed Char, and threw him toward the MCV.
At this moment, the thick barrel was spewing out flames. The high-temperature and high-pressure air pushed the burning cannonball out of the hot red barrel. Char only felt her body relax, and the [Magic Lock] was removed. Then, the air in front of her suddenly became hot.
Without thinking, he used [Thousand Pounds Falling] and his body suddenly sank.
A gust of hot wind brushed past his scalp and headed straight for the Dark-robed Magic Puppet. However, Zin'rokh dodged the cannon with a beautiful move. The black smoke and dust that spewed out from behind him formed a disdainful middle finger in the air and then flew away.
There were still monster minions rushing towards the MCV on the ground, and Char was surrounded by a few Demonized Tree Spirits as soon as he landed.
Before he could pull out his sword, a beautiful figure landed in front of him.
"It's Evelyn!"
Char's heart warmed.
"My wife is here to save me!"
Unfortunately, the Dark Elf took a direct hit from the Tree Spirit. She let out a muffled groan and was sent flying.
At the same time, Char felt a sharp pain in him lower abdomen, as if the Tree Spirit had crashed into him.
[Chain of Pain]!
Fuck! You're really something, Evelyn!
The farce ended quickly. The monsters that had left Graviny were blasted into pieces by the MCV. Other than the Dark Elf lady who was injured and still had a cold look in her eyes, this could be considered a happy ending.
In the spacious trunk of the MCV, the five mushroom heads, red, brown, white, black, and purple, were looking at Char.
Char was also sizing them up.
Maica did not have many friends, or rather, he did not have any friends at all. these people in front of him were not so much allies as illegal workers he had paid to do. Compared to the enigmatic human heart, the mushroom people believed more in contracts written in black and white and contracts signed word by word.
Only the latter two could give him a sense of fulfillment and security. What bullsh*t human heart? It was not worth trusting at all.
Maica was amazed at Char's ridiculous growth rate, from level 14 in Astan City to level 35 now, and the elements in the air were still faintly surrounding him. This meant that he was not only agile but also a powerful mage.
Other than him, the others were wondering if they had seen the other party before.
It was not that they remembered anything, but that Maica had given them a good scolding the day he came out of Astan City, saying that they had leaked the news and let the other party know about their hostage plan in advance. The four of them looked at each other in dismay, even though they did not even know who Char was.
In short, he was very curious. no one here knew him, so how did he know about that?
"Bryan, White, Krow, and Papka."
Char called out their names one by one, and before the four of them could even react, she pointed at Maica.
"There is a loophole in the contract you signed with him. Mr. Maica probably didn't tell you that he would trade this MCV with me, so he clearly stated that as the owner of the MCV, he has the duty to protect the lives and property of the four of you, and not actively harm the four of you, instead of Maica having this duty.
"The reason why it's so hard to say and so obscure is to remove myself from the picture and hide this matter.
"Moreover, he also prepared poison and planned to kill the four of you at the same time as he handed over the MCV. I've already explained the stakes here, so please choose where you want to go. Before this adventure truly begins, I believe everyone has the right to know and choose.
"The above is from a collaborator who is trying to express goodwill."
After saying that, he looked at the five of them with a smile, waiting for their small boat of friendship to capsize.
Sure enough, the information he threw out infuriated the other four mushroom heads. They all stood up from their chairs and looked at Maica in disbelief.
The four of them were not mediocre, so they naturally understood what the loophole pointed out by Char meant that the moment the MCV changed hands, the binding force of the contract on Maica would lose its effect, and he had every reason to poison the four of them. This was the usual trick of the ancient people, and it was even more ruthless to their own kind!
Maica, who had been hoping to defeat Char with the five-man alliance, panicked and retreated.
"Everyone, I'm not as vicious as he said! The reason for this was also to make it easier to modify the subsequent documents. Wouldn't it be better to save some energy and facilitate the transfer of the contract? Besides, do you think I will give up the MCV so easily?"
"What about the poison?"
"Before we left the plains of treasures, I heard that the Green-skinned Dwarves had developed a poison against different colored bacteria. Are you planning to start from here?" Bryan asked, staring at him.
"How is that possible? I promised," said Maica righteously.
Char interrupted his explanation.
"The potion needs three ingredients to be mixed together. The first is to be hidden in your respective meals as a seasoning and doesn't pose a threat. The second is determined by your eating habits and corresponds to different vegetables. The third one is hidden under the driver's seat. Dear, please remove the floor under the swivel chair."
Evelyn glared at him with a look that said, "I'll let you off for the sake of business."
The Dark Elf pried open the floor under Maica's terrified gaze, revealing a bottle of black mist hidden in a glass bottle. Just looking at it made the other four mushrooms uncomfortable.
Maica sat on the ground, his heart cold.
He looked at Char as if he was looking at a demon. His eyes were filled with hatred, and the mushroom cap on his head was so red that it looked like blood could be squeezed out.
All of a sudden, a large amount of magic energy that was left in the air outside the MCV gathered and rushed into Maica's body through the gap between the MCV's brass structure and the precision gears.
The body of the Mushroom Man suddenly expanded!
It grew from 1.2 meters to 1.5 meters.
However...
The red mushroom cap on his head suddenly turned dark red, and light flowed, like a poisonous mushroom!
"Char..."
He stood up like an evil spirit, accompanied by a series of ravings.
