Chapter 92: Advance into the Dark Abyss
Vampires’ mansions never scared Leon, he just barged in alone, let alone with company. Although that person just had a fight, punching someone to the ground, moaning pitifully with a blood-covered face, he still sat there unflinchingly and drank.
Leon walked over with his drink and sat across the so-called Evil Wolf.
Of course, Evil Wolf wasn’t a wolf; it was just a name. He was human, with coarse short hair, messy sideburns, and a stubbled chin. His eyes were deep brown, sharp and profound, his face had strong lines, and his arms were covered with scars, possessing a bit of the aura of Wolverine, the uncle.
Evil Wolf, hearing the footsteps and the sound of a stool moving, lifted his head wanting to spit some harsh words, only to see the person sitting across from him having a pair of backward-swept horns, eyes blazing like flames, and cheekbones covered with crimson scales, presenting a terrifying predatory appearance.
His lips moved without making a sound, and when he spoke again, his voice was two notches lower: "Who are you, and what brings you here...You didn’t come to pick a fight, did you?"
Eventually, Leon retracted his wings and tail for a simple reason—big wings looked cool, but they made it inconvenient to lean against the wall. The big tail was tiring to lift and would fall to the ground when lowered, and the streets of Crossroads City were messy, the Flower Garden was not too bad, but the Lower District was truly littered with dung and urine everywhere. Otherwise, Evil Wolf’s voice might have dropped by another two notches.
"Let’s cut to the chase," Leon raised his cup and drained it, "I want you to take me to the Dark Territory."
Evil Wolf crossed his arms, his voice somewhat low and hoarse, asking: "Who told you that I’ve been to the Dark Territory, that I can take you to the Dark Territory?"
"Betty," Leon said, "a Female Dwarf Mage."
"Aha, so that crazy old lady sent you here," Evil Wolf glanced at Leon, "Do you know the Dark Territory is dangerous?"
The Dark Territory is collectively referred to as the underground world. Although it is underground, it doesn’t mean it’s cramped... although some tunnels indeed shrink so narrow that even Halflings struggle to squeeze through, but most are quite large, with the largest caverns resembling a miniature surface world, complete with hills, valleys, underground rivers, and lakes.
