There was a long tunnel after the boulder disappeared. The group of people walked for another ten minutes, but it wasn't uphill anymore. Elena looked around curiously, but she didn't touch the walls recklessly.
To this Shang Family young mistress, everything in front of her was a fortuitous encounter that others might never encounter in their lifetime. At this moment, she was still astonished by the enormous underground city and the snake-bodied Medusa. Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know how to react.
"Sir Overlord, welcome back to your territory, the beautiful Oditore Castle."
Madam Vasaki suddenly turned around at the end of the tunnel and lowered her head slightly.
Her behavior stunned the four guards. Then, they bowed down as if it was a conditioned reflex — Although they didn't understand the common language that the Patriarch spoke, the guards weren't stupid. How could an ordinary person make the Patriarch lower his head?
"Madam, you're … Sigh …" Many were at a loss for what to do after hearing Madam Vasaki's sudden words. This madam who had always helped them had a very high position in their hearts. Now that she suddenly bowed to them, they suddenly felt that their seniority was messed up.
"Look at you …" Madam Vasaki raised her head and saw Lot's bewildered looks. She immediately laughed out loud and felt proud of herself. She seemed to be overjoyed by Lot's awkward looks. She turned around and walked out of the tunnel's exit.
The sun had just set, and there was still a faint afterglow in the sky. There were low hills all around. If one looked back, the tunnel that they had just walked out of was just an inconspicuous boulder. Where was the entrance to the tunnel?
After identifying the direction, the tunnel's exit was towards the North. When they looked to the South, they immediately saw the endless mountain range while the North was a flat land. It seemed like they were at the end of the mountain range.
What kind of mountain range is this?
Many continued to walk forward with doubts. They climbed up a small hill and looked down with the afterglow of the setting sun. They happened to see the castle in the distance!
Oditore Castle!
Many recognized the appearance of the castle at first glance. The ancient and vicissitudes that other castles in the Empire didn't have!
This is really Oditore Castle!
He didn't expect Medusa's Dungeon to be so close to his Castle!
He felt like his mind was in a mess. This situation saved him a lot of trouble, but the problems that came with it also made him start to think.
Would it really be like what Madam had said, that the Medusa would become her subjects?
If they became subjects, how could these Medusas be accepted by the world?
The scene of Noda, Daugen, and the others staring at a large group of Medusa walking into the village suddenly appeared in many people's minds. The densely packed snake tails probably made their scalps go numb for a while.
This was the Abyssal race, not the trolls or other native inhabitants of the continent that could be encountered anywhere. Not to mention that a thousand years ago, they were the enemies of this continent. This subtle relationship left many people at a loss as to what to do.
What was the attitude of the continent towards Medusa?
Most people had probably forgotten about this race, right?
It was something that happened three thousand years ago. Only a race with a long history like the Elves could remember the history of the Medusa race.
His mind was in a mess. He stood on the hillside for a long time before he remembered that he still had things to do. He looked at Castle Odietore again, and then looked at the west side of Castle Odietore based on the geographical coordinates he remembered. As expected, there was faint smoke floating in the distance, and Pombo Village could be vaguely seen in the dark sky.
The perfect geographical location!
Madam's Dungeon and these two places formed a triangle, which meant that the distance from here to Oditore Castle and Pombo Village was almost the same!
"You can go back first."
Madam said to the guards in the Abyssal Language. The four tall guards immediately obeyed her order, turned around, and walked towards the inconspicuous stone, disappearing in front of Many.
"Now we don't even need to build a Teleportation Circle."
Madam smiled and looked at Many. "Then, My Lord, do you want to consider the issue of our Medusa becoming your subjects?"
"This …" Many felt a headache when he heard the word 'My Lord'. He reached out to touch his nose and said hesitantly, "Madam, you have the final say. You have seen my territory, it's not much better than your Dungeon …"
"Why, do you dislike me now?"
Madam twisted her snake-like waist and came to Many's side. She pulled Many's ear and scolded jokingly, "Hmph, he's begging to become your subject, and you're putting on airs?"
Athena swayed her body excitedly and snorted. It was the first time she saw Many being humiliated, and she was extremely happy.
"Ouch, ouch, Madam …" Many immediately bared his teeth and begged for mercy. He immediately understood Madam's action and quickly replied, "Alright … Alright, I'll listen to you, Madam. You're the Lord, why should I listen to you?"
"Hmph, glib-tongued little fellow, what do you mean I'm the Lord?" Madam Vasaki let go of his ear and smirked. "Let's go, where are we going first?"
"Let's go to Pombo Village. Salia misses you, Madam." Many looked at Madam Vasaki and said, "Madam, about your health …"
"What, My Lord, are you afraid that your subjects will spread rumors everywhere?
Don't tell me you don't even have the ability to give me and my tribesmen a legal identity. Little fellow, if that's the case … "Madam Vasaki smiled sinisterly," Hmph, do as you see fit! "
"Uh … No problem, no problem!"
After being stunned for a moment, many of them realized that they were really confused. Why did they think so much about it?
He had the final say in such a large territory. According to the laws of the Empire, the people in this territory were protected. The Lord had absolute authority over the people. Even if the people in his territory were all Abyss Demons, as long as they did not interfere with other territories or cause any losses, he could do whatever he wanted!
Of course, this was an exaggeration, but it was the truth. Other than Emperor Chanak, even Count Jarl could not order his people around. Although he was the Lord of Klimt, Oditore did not have any jurisdiction other than paying taxes every year.
Seeing that Many's "threats" had succeeded, the Madam's smile widened. However, she still reverted to her human form and said, "Now is not the time, but you must remember your promise!"
With that, she waved her hand. Many and Elena felt their bodies being lifted up by an invisible force. Then, they followed Madam Vasaki and flew towards Pangbo Village!
Many of them turned back to look. Athena was not to be outdone and sprinted forward. Her speed was not slow at all and she caught up with the three of them. Her physical qualities as a high-level magical beast were not just for show.
Elena's little face was tense. She watched the trees and bushes fly past her. She was very nervous. She had started to get used to Madam Vasaki's superb strength. Speaking of which, as an ordinary person, her experience had surpassed most professionals because of her encounters with Many.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at Pang Bo Village, which they had not seen for a long time. When they saw the sentry tower, the soldiers on duty immediately noticed them and sounded the alarm. A group of people immediately rushed over.
It was Noda's scout team. This guy happened to be on duty today. The sun and wind for the past few days had made his skin tone darker. He looked more experienced. At least, he did not talk as much nonsense as before.
The sky was completely dark. Noda could not see clearly who the three figures were. They were about three to four hundred meters away. He shouted, "Who are you?"
Many was ridiculous. Why did this guy have bad eyesight?
He should be able to see who it was from this distance.
As expected, Noda continued to ride on his horse for a few more steps. He suddenly froze. Then, he shouted heartlessly, "You're finally back!
I have something to tell you — "
The second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat. He saw Elena had already covered her mouth when she heard his voice.
"Elena!
How did you come-- "His words caught in his throat again--he sounded like a broken radio, halting and halting.
This time, it was because he saw the long black hair and Madam Vasaki looking at him with a funny expression.
