Chapter 231: Episode 84 Expectation_2

　　Another halfling, William, handed over his bag, and at that moment Little Finger’s face turned green. This William had an even stronger obsession with collecting than Felps himself. With so many items in his hands, it would surely be missing a lot. Little Finger immediately opened the bag and began to check it carefully.

　　Stonelimb spread his hands and said to the others: "Come, come, it’s time to pay up. A bet’s a bet, hand over the money quickly."

　　Warrior Deluo, Priest Joe, Dwarf Gongragan, and the two women took out their money and placed it in Stonelimb’s hand. However, the Half-Beastman remained unmoved. Stonelimb walked up to him: "Big guy, you lost the bet, why aren’t you paying?"

　　"Obviously... his face turned red, red, so why did you win?" the Half-Beastman stammered, "You said it would be green, green is your win!"

　　"That face clearly turned green!" "Red!" "Green!" "Red!"...

　　Deluo walked over to the still-confused Felps and said, "You don’t need to bother checking, I’ve been holding this bag all along. Just now we bet on what color your face would turn if William returned the bag to you. I guessed black, but I was wrong."

　　Nimo covered his mouth and started laughing, while Little Finger was too angry to speak, pointing at Deluo and just saying "You, you..." To soothe the halfling’s emotions, Deluo took him to the kitchen.

　　In the kitchen, after closing the door, Deluo put away his playful expression. He surveyed the surroundings and whispered to Felps, "Did you find out who’s going to attack Lynch?"

　　"No. Not a single clue," Little Finger no longer appeared grumpy, his face now only showing a worried expression.

　　"We can only hope Lynch is lucky enough to escape danger." Deluo rubbed his nose, "I didn’t expect that the Underground Union could find someone to lead them into the Black Crystal Tower, even that place has become unsafe now."

　　"Don’t worry, Lynch will be fine." Little Finger fastened the bag to his waist and patted Deluo’s hand, "Actually it’s all my fault, if I had listened to him that day and not wandered around, I wouldn’t have been thrown into the Underdark, dragging him into finding me. Now, I’ve dragged him into a dangerous conspiracy. I...I really don’t know how to apologize to him..."

　　Seeing Felps become unusually dejected, Deluo comforted him: "Don’t worry, Lynch, being such a powerful mage, those so-called assassins are nothing. Besides, I can easily handle those assassins myself. You’ll be reunited soon, and by then Lynch will surely be overjoyed. But for now, it’s best not to tell anyone about the attackers, so as not to worry them."

　　"Yes, Lynch will be safe. I’ll keep my mouth shut on this matter." Felps nodded, "Let’s study the map again, see which route is suitable."

　　"Little Finger, it’s not that I’m particularly suspicious of anyone." Deluo lowered his voice further: "Best if no one except you, me, and Lynch knows about our escape route. After all, this place is still the Underdark, it’s best to be cautious."

　　Little Finger looked at Deluo’s expression, then nodded twice: "You’re right, if Lynch were here, he’d say the same thing."

　　Everyone was bustling anxiously, filled with confidence about leaving Ratris City. But in their escape plan, there was still one person who didn’t even know the departure schedule.

　　Zilvra stayed in her room, facing the statue of the Spider Goddess, pretending to meditate.

　　This was part of her priest training; every day, they prayed to the Spider Goddess to please her and gain divine art power. After training in the Spider Temple for some time, Zilvra decided to return to her family, claiming that Matron Batana would personally teach her. The other priests in the temple already disliked this fair-skinned person, and they seized the opportunity to agree to her request.
