Chapter 131: Are You the Soul of the Rainforest?
Translator: Lonelytree
“I haven’t blown up a casino before, but there are no Arcane Machinists who don’t like explosions.”
The threat in Shortie’s words was obvious.
However, Yu Lian was not angered. He only looked a little confused.
At this moment, Matthew stepped forward.
“Don’t you remember?”
Yu Lian waved his hand.
“I’ve had too many people in my life who I’ve cheated on and abandoned. It’s really hard to remember all of them at once.”
“So you admit that you’re a scumbag?” Shortie’s eyes turned sharp.
“Hey! Even if you’re an Arcane Machinist, you can’t do this in my office!”
Yu Lian shouted out in dissatisfaction, “Close the door!”
Someone outside reminded him, “Boss, the door is closed, but there is a hole.” Yu Lian slapped his head.
“Then come on, Candy Baby, Candy Baby, come out quickly, my good girl!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
A few chaotic roars could be heard.
A huge monster suddenly jumped out from the side hall next to the office!
Its body almost filled the space.
The three heads repeatedly rubbed against each other in the corridor between the office and the side hall.
A large amount of saliva formed a drizzle and sprinkled on the faces of everyone in the office.
There was a slight sourness.
This was a pure-blooded Purgatory Cerberus!
If it weren’t for the fact that the monster’s three heads were tied with collars and there were more than ten thick iron chains at the back, it would have pounced right at Shortie and Matthew!
“Look, look, I am not a pushover either. If you really have the ability to install bombs everywhere in my casino, then blow everything up. But as long as I’m alive, I can rebuild my life at any time! Everyone in Cordor City knows that my name is the real source of money, not the casino.”
He pressed the cigar head hard into the ashtray, sparks flying everywhere.
“Now get out of here and fix the door for me. If you compensate me, I can agree to keep only one of your hands. Don’t look at me like that. Although Candy
Baby isn’t hungry now, she can still consume a dozen of you.”
Shortie didn’t say anything and put down the backpack on her back.
She opened a corner of her backpack and took out a round object with a doodle of a heart.
“This is Elysian Paradise. Once it is detonated, it is equivalent to the effect of a Tier 5 spell, Silent Moment. If you don’t know this spell, you should at least have similar common sense. After it explodes, we’ll hear the quietest moment in the world.”
Shortie stated coldly, ” Not only can it blow up your casino, but it can also send you and your dog to the underworld. No, the Purgatory Cerberus is tenacious. I can’t guarantee that it will definitely die. Perhaps it will survive and enjoy your corpse. I heard that dogs are very loyal animals, but when they’re extremely hungry, it’s not like they can’t enjoy their owner’s corpse, right?”
“Hey! Calm down, calm down.”
Although he didn’t know if Shortie was telling the truth, the round thing in her hand did make Yu Lian and Matthew nervous.
The latter didn’t say anything and used the Defensive Psalm to open
Mordenkainen’s private chamber.
This was a very interesting defensive spell. It would create a magic singularity in the caster’s place. Through this singularity, one could enter a dimensional space of about 20 square meters.
When damaged, the singularity would be destroyed, and the Dimensional Space would collapse.
However, the people inside would not receive the first wave of damage. Instead, they would appear at the original location of the singularity.
This spell was perfect for avoiding explosions.
Even though he was prepared to dodge at any time, Matthew still advised, “Hey, Madam, things haven’t gotten to that point yet. There’s still room for communication. Listen to me and put down the bomb first, okay? We can have a good talk.”
Shortie glanced at Matthew as a show of respect and stuffed the bomb back into her backpack.
The next moment, she placed her backpack on the ground and sat cross-legged on the floor. This was equivalent to stuffing the bomb inside her legs.
Shortie actually looked a little cute in this position.
However, the presence of the heavy armour and bombs reminded the two of them that the lady in front of them was not a kid who came to ask for candy but an Arcane Machinist who was known for her amazing destructive power.
“Can’t you remember Lily?”
Matthew saw that Shortie had calmed down, so he turned to ask Yu Lian.
Yu Lian looked like he had a headache.
“Nowadays, every woman likes to call herself Lily. How can I remember… No.
Can you tell your lackey to stop annoying me?”
He seemed to have chosen to vent his anger on Matthew out of frustration.
Shortie, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looked up at him. “He’s not my lackey.”
Yu Lian looked at Matthew in puzzlement.
“Then why did you come in? You follow her inside and always come out to smooth things over when things are about to be awkward. Isn’t this the job of a lackey?”
Matthew thought about it and felt that what the other party said was not without reason.
“I’m another visitor from Equal Stream Island. This is Li Weiqi’s letter of introduction.”
Even though Yu Lian’s attitude was terrible, Matthew wasn’t annoyed and just patiently explained.
“Li Weiqi? Was he that turtle king? If you see him, tell him to stop.. He has almost eaten all the turtles on the north bank!”
