Chapter 625

~6 min read 1,133 words

The Yordles around saw this scene and all raised their glasses together.

If it weren’t for Li Yao,

the rock wall wouldn’t have been built,

and the current Bandle City might have been destroyed.

“City Lord is too polite.”

Li Yao drank with a group of little Yordles.

He suddenly noticed that he hadn’t seen Bobby’s figure for a while.

At the same time,

the lively square

and the deserted street

formed a sharp contrast.

Bobby, carrying her giant hammer, walked alone in a remote alley.

After turning a few corners,

she stopped in front of an old, dilapidated house.

Bobby pushed the door and entered.

Inside were some old furniture covered in dust,

and spiderwebs were everywhere.

Bobby, expressionless, walked to an old refrigerator.

She opened the refrigerator door.

There was no rotten food as imagined;

it was actually a downward staircase.

Bobby climbed down the stairs.

A huge metal space appeared before her eyes.

The sound of metal clashing ‘pitter-patter’ came through.

“Oh! The sweet scent of science!”

“Bobby? Not attending the banquet, why come to this old man’s place?”

The speaker was an elderly Yordle with a big beard,

disheveled, wearing red glasses, and the electric pliers in his hand were still flickering with arcs.

He had a yellow afro on his head,

looking like it had been blown up by an electrical leak.

Bobby said respectfully: “There is something I want to ask the senior.”

The person before her might not be recognized by Yordles walking on the street,

but his name was known to everyone:

Cecil B. Heimerdinger,

titled [The Great Inventor].

The city-protecting array that protected Bandle City was created by him.

“Speak, I’m listening,” Heimerdinger said, busy with his work.

Bobby told him everything that happened after the Black Dragon God descended,

and also told Heimerdinger her conjectures one by one.

“Oh? The departure of the Black Dragon God was for this reason?”

“Ho ho ho! It seems Bobby’s benefactor is quite extraordinary!”

Heimerdinger put down the electric pliers and walked toward the bookshelf behind him,

took out a handwritten manuscript, and threw it to Bobby.

“It has my records of the living habits of the Moor-Seeking Wolves.”

Bobby flipped through it quickly.

Heimerdinger spoke up:

“Do you know why there is only one leader of the Moor-Seeking Wolves within a certain range?”

“Even if there are leaders who coexist as a couple, they have a clear distinction in status.”

“Why?” Bobby asked.

“Because as maze monsters, if they want to survive, they need to evolve strong sensory capabilities.”

“This is also a type of life detector I’ve been researching recently.”

“Ho ho ho, I’ve said it long ago.”

“I told you soldiers to practice sensory capabilities, but you didn’t believe me, so you can only research external objects.”

“And those maze monsters, because of survival, have to evolve this ability!”

“Senior means that the Black Dragon God also has this ability?”

Heimerdinger didn’t answer but said: “The Black Dragon God can grow into an incomparably powerful existence.”

“I believe perception is a necessary ability.”

“Otherwise, during the growth process, it might have been eliminated by some powerhouses.”

Bobby was a bit distracted: “So senior means the Black Dragon God sensed the benefactor’s strength, so it fled?”

“More or less; it might also have felt that fighting that guest wasn’t worth it.”

Heimerdinger’s expression became serious: “Such a powerful existence appearing in Bandle City really makes one feel uneasy.”

“Senior, rest assured, the benefactor is a very kind person!”

“He saved Bobby and Tana, and today he saved all of us!”

“Ho ho ho!” Heimerdinger laughed. “That’s not what I meant.”

“If possible, tomorrow after that guest has rested well, can Bobby bring him to see me?”

“I’m getting old, and I don’t have the heart to visit him myself.”

“Bobby will go and ask the benefactor’s opinion.”

Walking on the street,

Bobby felt as if she were trapped in a dream.

She pinched her cheek hard.

The stinging pain on her face told her that everything was real.

But,

how is this possible?

In this world, is there really an existence that can contend with the Black Dragon God?

The next day,

Li Yao Mayor Woke up from the Congress Grand Hotel.

Mayor Lulu helped them upgrade their rooms.

Six professionals

luxuriously opened six rooms.

More luxurious, better service.

Li Yao slept very comfortably.

He checked the time.

“Kujo Mise and the others should have already gone to the Gloom Maze, right?”

For them,

the Gloom Maze is a pretty good dungeon.

With Luo Lao there, there’s no need to worry too much about safety issues.

Just at this moment,

a knock on the door rang out.

Li Yao got up to open the door.

At last night’s banquet, Bobby came back later and told him about Heimerdinger.

This person clearly only had Fifth-Turn strength, but the array he created made even him feel a trace of threat.

Li Yao was very curious

and promised Bobby to go visit this senior together.

After opening the door,

Bobby handed the prepared breakfast to Li Yao.

“Bobby knows the benefactor isn’t used to our food here; this is roasted meat. Roasted things shouldn’t have too much difference.”

“Thank you.”

Li Yao took it, looking at this cute, twin-tailed Yordle.

Eating roasted meat early in the morning—

are you serious?

Crossing the street, entering the house, pushing open the refrigerator, and climbing down the stairs,

Li Yao looked in surprise at the room before him that looked like an underground base.

Before opening the refrigerator,

even standing at the door of the house,

at such a close distance,

he hadn’t perceived that there was any life aura inside.

It must be an array that shields perception, right?

Just at this moment,

“Bang!”

An explosion rang out.

Immediately following,

“Ouch, ouch! Bobby, Bobby! Quickly find a doctor for this old man!”

“Ah? Okay, okay!”

Half an hour later,

the doctor left.

Heimerdinger’s right eye was wrapped in gauze.

Because Li Yao’s physique was too large for a Yordle,

the three could only sit on the ground.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.

Between the three, lay the culprit of Heimerdinger’s eye injury:

a pile of charred parts and fragments.

“Uh,” Li Yao broke the silence, “Senior, what is this?”

“Ho ho ho!” Heimerdinger gave an awkward laugh. “This is a little toy I was tinkering with.”

“It can measure the intensity of a creature’s aura.”

Hearing this, Bobby glanced at the parts on the table with disdain.

Senior seems to want to popularize this thing, one for every soldier?

Bobby can’t control others,

but Bobby doesn’t want one anyway!

“So, Senior was measuring me just now?”

“Ho ho ho, I was just curious; no offense intended.”
