Chapter 244: Episode 89 Going Out of Town

Recently, a series of "big events" have taken place successively in Ratris City, leaving all the residents dazzled. Even the Dark Elves, who have lived for millennia, can’t help but sigh.

Especially when Briza appeared at the Spider Temple with her priests, all eyes turned to this powerful matron. Every family had to show them respect—this is the new first family, the new leader of Ratris City.

Briza looked at the Dark Elf prostrated beneath her feet, feeling immensely proud. Her life’s pursuit finally achieved. In this Spider Temple, apart from the matrons of other families, everyone had to kneel before her—regardless of whether this worship truly came from their hearts or not.

The Flash Gold Stone atop the Black Crystal Tower changed color once again, catching Briza’s attention. There lies a presence that makes her restless. That Human Mage was like a harbinger of doom; ever since his arrival in Ratris City, he had turned this once peaceful world into chaos. Even the mighty Batana family slowly corroded and destroyed by him, and her own children fell to his spells, keeping him around might lead to an even greater disaster.

"After the ritual is over, you will be the first obstacle I remove!" Briza flicked her cloak and confidently strode into the temple.

Meanwhile, under the Black Crystal Tower, Lynch was not idle. After confirming no one was watching, he gathered all his friends inside the Black Crystal Tower.

Littlefinger Felps lay in Lynch’s arms, crying loudly, continuously apologizing, "It’s all my fault for running around, causing you to end up in the Underdark..."

"It’s okay, Felps, it’s nothing. Even if you weren’t here, I would have come to the Dark Elf City anyway. Stop crying." Lynch said to the Halfling, "Now is not the time to relax; we’re still in the center of Ratris City."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Felps wiped his eyes and jumped out of Lynch’s arms. He walked over to the desk and pulled out a map from his backpack: "Let’s talk about our escape route now."

"That’s right, tears are merely the disguise of cowards; this is much better." From the moment Zilvra saw this group, her hand hadn’t left the hilt of her sword, "I thought you could only cry. But now, it seems you’re quite a decent Halfling."

Littlefinger glanced at Zilvra, then at Lynch, thought for a moment and said nothing further. He pointed to the brand new map and said, "I stole this from the Underground Union, secretly copying a piece. Then compared it with the routes of the Underworld Halfling caravans and the Dark Elf’s map. This map should not have any problem. Now we have a few options ahead." He wasn’t used to speaking so much at once, coughed fiercely twice, and continued, "We can reach the surface through two routes. One goes through Hanmosidun City, then reaching the Dwarf residence in the Ridge Mountains, cough! From there ascending to the surface. This route is relatively long and extremely dangerous, cough! cough! passing through multiple gathering areas of underground beasts."

After speaking, Littlefinger coughed violently. Lynch quickly fetched a cup of water for him, patting his back, "Don’t push yourself too hard, rest for a bit now, you can’t speak anymore. Let me take a look at this map instead."

The Halfling rasped, "Thank... but, still, I..."

Lynch gestured for him to stop, walked quickly to the map, examined it carefully for a while, and quickly found the route Littlefinger mentioned. Although a red line connected Ratris City and the Ridge Mountains, Lynch recalled the data he saw in the Black Crystal Tower, this route was simply impassable.

"This..." Lynch had just spoken one word before seeing Littlefinger wink at him. Lynch frowned, then refocused on the map. The fresh ink clearly outlining the Underworld’s features. "Fresh ink?" Lynch suddenly understood Littlefinger’s plan. He realized, the Halfling had long prepared to leave, even before Lynch arrived in Ratris City, back then he should have had a map. If not to cover for Lynch and guard against the Underground Union’s people, Littlefinger would have left this Underdark region long ago. Thus, he wouldn’t need a new map—not in such condition. The only explanation is that this map was redrawn for a specific purpose, even modified, with some crucial parts erased.
