Chapter 366: If It’s Tangled, Just Cut It (4)
“Urk...!”
Even groaning in pain, Rognel clutched his mouth, afraid the food he had just eaten might come back up.
Keter raised a fist for a second time.
“You really think this is the time to play games with me? Or are you so ungrateful that you’re planning to demand even more?”
“Ugh... Let me live here. Then I’ll tell you everything I know.”
“My friend, that part isn’t difficult, but I’m very worried whether the information you have is actually worth that much. If I let someone useless live here and feed him, my fists won’t, even if I forgive you.”
Gulp.
Rognel also knew that Keter’s punch earlier had been him showing tremendous restraint. Keter was a monster; one must never provoke him.
“I survived in this city and saw several strange places—areas where monsters gather, places full of corpses, unsettling locations. I’m not certain if what you’re looking for is there, but it’s better than wandering this city blindly.”
Keter agreed with that. No matter how strong he was, the monsters from Liqueur’s underground were not creatures he could kill like goblins or orcs. Even Keter had to concentrate to kill them. And if he had the misfortune of encountering a Ruler? Even Keter could not guarantee victory against the underground Rulers.
Rognel then explained everything he knew about the city, down to every trivial detail. After hearing and memorizing it all, Keter stood up immediately.
“You better pray I actually find something.”
