Chapter 339: It was indeed me
Han Shuo learned from Chrissie that the Redbud Knights had indeed traveled to the underground world, and the Celt had already launched one attack against the lizardmen already. The lizard men naturally couldn’t stand up to the attacks of the Redbud Knights, but there was an extraordinary presence living in the magical crystal ore mine that the lizardmen guarded.
A dreadfully fierce battle had seemed to take place when Celt and the Redbud Knights entered the mine. A strange entity living within the mine had suddenly turned very terrifying, and even one of the top ten knight troops on the Continent hadn’t come off on top in the exchange.
The Redbud Knights decided to furl their banners and cover their drums after failing three times. They were now hiding in some cavern, and not even the Dark Mantle knew where they were holing up. They had concentrated their attention on the area that the lizardmen were living in and was observing every move that occurred there.
“Bryan, why have you come to the underground world? Are you also part of this mission?” Chrissie asked Han Shuo excitedly after describing the current situation to him.
Han Shuo shook his head with a smile, “I was passing through the Dark Forest and happened to fight with Celt of the Redbud Knights earlier. I’ve come for him.”
Even Celt’s green dragon had been killed, so he must hate Han Shuo to the bones, not to mention that the latter had chopped off one of Celt’s ears. This was the kind of grudge that demanded retribution no matter what. To Han Shuo, Celt was an enormous threat who controlled the Redbud Knights. Not only was his strength uncommon, but he was an important national figure as well. There would be no end of trouble once Celt learned of Han Shuo’s identity.
Therefore, Han Shuo had come to the Dark Forest this time from Brettel City to see if there was a way he could obtain more magical crystal cores, and also to see if he could fully uproot the problem that was Celt to prevent future troubles for him after he walked out of the Dark Forest.
“What, you’ve fought Commander Celt of the Redbud Knights?” Chrissie suddenly shrieked and looked at Han Shuo incredulously. She immediately followed up with, “I heard that someone killed Celt’s green dragon, and even one of his ears was sliced off! Was that you?”
The light of intense curiosity shone in Chrissie’s eyes as she fixed her gaze onto Han Shuo. She seemed to have guessed something. It was rather Han Shuo who hadn’t anticipated that the news would spread so quickly. He was quite surprised by Chrissie. They were both hiding behind some red plants with enormous banana-shaped leafs. This was likely the temporary meeting place of the Dark Mantle for this mission.
“No problem, I’ll tell you next time. Thank you Chrissie!” Han Shuo responded with a friendly smile and then walked with Emily towards a cave.
Apart from the lush growth of the red, banana-shaped leaf plants around this area, there were also some small caves. It looked like Emily was temporarily taking residence in one of the caves. Perhaps she didn’t want other people to see them as she avoided some of the caves with sounds coming out of them and walked to a remote corner.
“You little bastard has started tempting other girls again. You have me and Phoebe, isn’t that enough for you?” Emily immediately pinched Han Shuo halfway when she saw that there were no other voices, cursing him in a low voice.
Han Shuo felt quite aggrieved as he laughed wryly. When he saw Emily let go out of fear of hurting him, he explained, “It’s not like what you think! I only met her on the way and had her take me to come find you!”
“Hmph!” Emily looked at Han Shuo distrustingly. “Then what was she talking about, what details and what explanation?”
“Eh… she wants to know how I killed Celt’s green dragon and sliced off his ear?” Han Shuo responded honestly.
“What! You did it?!” Emily was startled as she looked at Han Shuo incredulously.
Nodding, since Han Shuo had no secrets in front of Emily, he said, “It was indeed me.”
