"Do you think what that guy just said is true?"

On the way back to their camp, Hope asked Carl with a serious face.

Ying standing next to him also cast an inquiring look at Carl, with a hint of vigilance on his face.

Karl knew that they did not completely believe what Li Mengzhuoer said.

"Of course not!"

Carl adjusted his power armor helmet, and his voice revealed the maturity of a veteran.

Then he continued:

"But I think she should have good intentions towards us. After all, a psychic master can quietly influence your views of her, even though Ying and I have certain attainments in psychic powers."

You can't trust others based on their one-sided words. This is the biggest lesson Carl learned after being cheated many times.

"That's good! You always trust others too easily. I don't know how you developed this personality. Lisanna is obviously very cautious in this regard."

Speaking of this, Hope couldn't help but miss Lisanna who was far away in Khorvaire, who fulfilled all her fantasies about her future daughter.

"Uh~, this is probably because when we were little, I often teased her with snacks, so she became like this."

Carl covered his chest with his hands with some self-blame, and seemed a little guilty when he talked about this matter.

Then, as expected, Carl received blaming looks from Hope and Ying.

Returning to the cave entrance along the tunnel they had come down from before, the three of them climbed up skillfully.

In the distance, Bane and others saw Carl and others returning and hurried to meet them.

"So, what did you find?"

Deliberately avoiding the four drow, Bane approached Carl and asked in a low voice.

Carl found this cautious look a little funny, but he still cooperated with the other party and answered in a low voice about the gains of this exploration.

After hearing that the Limeng drow and the sleeping nightmare spirits may have been fighting for centuries, this half-orc, who was only in his thirties but had already lived half of his life, let out a sigh that belonged to the short-lived species.

"Haha! Don't be too sad. Nia is a genius in the School of Transmutation. She has already mastered the production of anti-aging potions. It is only a matter of time for her to learn the production process of the elixir of immortality. By then, she can at least make you live to more than 200 years old."

Speaking of this, Carl immediately thought of his master Moore's current research topic.

If Bane is really unlucky enough that he can't continue to extend his life, he feels that he can perform some mechanical transformation on Bane.

"I don't know what Scorpion's attitude is towards this matter, but I think she should be very happy, at least she won't have to watch Bane die of old age in front of her."

Completely unaware that his ethical thinking was moving in the direction of the Mechanicus, Karl planned this in his heart.

"So are we going to let them go? It seems like there's no point in keeping them."

At this moment, Scorpion pointed at the four trapped drow in the distance and asked Carl for his opinion.

"Let them go. That Li Mengzhuoer showed me a way to leave the Underdark. There's no need for us to keep them tied up, but..."

At this point, Carl couldn't help but recall his conversation with Li Meng Zhuoer once again.

After recounting those grudges, she expressed her hope that Karl could help her offspring escape from the Underdark.

The blood of the dream spirit she corresponds to and the nightmare spirit in reality has already merged, and it is difficult for the two to completely eliminate each other.

This dream spirit does not want the rest of his descendants to become such people.

Although it was hard to tell whether the other party's words were true or not, Karl felt that he should not reject the other party just like that.

He did wonder if the other party had used his psychic power to have some secret influence on him, but Carl's psychic power did not give any response.

Back inside the camp, Carl had the gags in the four drow's mouths removed.

The four drow stopped shouting this time, but looked at Carl with strange eyes.

"Have you met the mistress?"

I don’t know how they figured this out, but Karl could hear the certainty in their voices.

Carl did not hide anything, so he recounted the story of his encounter with Li Meng Zhuoer.

"It seems that you are indeed not Fallen, so... those drow are actually from Obsidian City?"

Although they were being guarded, the psychic powers of these four drow were still able to obtain some intelligence from the conversations and thoughts of ordinary drow.

The term "Obsidian City" naturally attracted their attention.

"Why do you care about this?"

After having the four drow who were no longer making noise untied, Carl sat upright on the rock and asked with some curiosity.

On the other side, the drow named Su replied:

"We originally hoped to bring in the firebenders from Obsidian City or the shadowshapers who disappeared into Khyber's realm to resist the Fallen, but now it seems..."

Looking at those Obsidian City drow whose strength was not much stronger than his, Su's subsequent words turned into a sigh.

The Obsidian City once even tried to set the world on fire, but after the coup it gradually weakened to its current state.

“It is better to rely on yourself than on others. If one of you, or even your mistress, can be promoted to a legendary, all the difficulties we are facing now will not be a problem.”

Although he was sitting now, Carl warned the drow with an attitude that it was easy for him to talk while standing.

But how could it be so easy to break through to the legendary level? Even Queen Aundair, who had the support of the Kingdom of Aundair and the Magic Council, had not yet been promoted to the legendary level.

But the four drow nodded seriously, as if they agreed with what Carl said.

"Why do you agree with this? Your mistresses are probably only level 16 at most. Who gave you the courage to nod? Fish Leong?"

Carl felt that in the context just now, he needed at least one companion or elder who had the hope of being promoted to a legend to be qualified to nod in agreement.

However, Carl did not care too much about this matter. He signaled the drow from Obsidian City to give each of the four of them a chair. Carl then began to ask about what everyone was most concerned about right now - the specific method of leaving the Underdark.

Although the drow matriarch had pointed out the direction to Carl, just as everyone knew that the Great Leiyin Temple was in Tianzhu, the actual route certainly could not be just walking towards the corresponding direction.

Xuanzang also had to plan a reasonable route to India based on the direction of the mountains, rivers and streams.

Of course, while asking this question, Carl was also thinking whether it would be more "convenient" to use the teleportation array to return to the surface.

If they just made a disposable extraordinary machine to teleport like they did in the dungeon, and teleported a few people at a time, it might be faster than for them to walk to the surface.
