Chapter 119: The Dark Curtain

Chapter 119: The Dark Curtain

“What do you mean you eavesdropped? Quickly explain it to us.” Kate waved the knife in his hand threateningly. The sound of the sharp blade cutting through the air gave Lucas a fright.

Lucas turned his head to look at one of his teammates. That teammate understood and stood up to walk toward them.

“I heard it earlier. Before we met you, we also met another team. However, the difference in strength was too great, so we didn’t take the initiative to attack them.” That person lowered his head and recalled the scene at that time.

The man in a royal blue gown stood behind a tree not far away from him. His voice was cold and without a hint of emotion.

“Have you done what I asked you to do? If there are no accidents, there are 11 people who are alone now. One of them will definitely take the token. Your goal now is to find those 11 people and take back the token in their hands. Do you understand?”

The few people beside him agreed and disappeared from where they were.

The person hiding behind the tree was dumbfounded. He did not expect that someone would be able to do this in the trial of the Templar Knights.

Furthermore, it did not seem like they could afford to offend those people. Therefore, he did not choose to stay for long. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that they had not discovered him and slipped away.

Hearing this, Audrey’s expression was clearly a little solemn.

There was too much information. If the person in front of her was not lying, it meant that someone had tampered with the trial.

The most dangerous part was that there were a total of 21 teams. Half of them had gone missing. This proved that their trial was definitely not an equal one.

“Oh my god, such a thing can actually happen.” Jill covered her mouth in disbelief.

After all, in his opinion, the selection of the Templar Knights had always been very fair. There was actually someone who had tampered with them from the very beginning.

Morris sighed. “This is the reason why I didn’t want to participate in the trial previously. If I have enough power and status, I can completely dominate the world. Basically, I’m already a predetermined candidate.”

“The situation is a little difficult now,” Audrey said, her tone clearly filled with worry. “Perhaps that team has already begun collecting tokens.”

Kate nodded. After all, five people against four people. It was obvious to the naked eye which side had the advantage.

Looking at their expressions, Lucas could roughly guess what they meant. However, with the current situation, it was better for him to run first.

“That… we’ve already said everything we need to say. Can you let us go now?” Lucas asked carefully, his tone carrying a hint of fear.

Audrey nodded and thanked him politely. “That’s enough. Thank you for your trouble. This information is very important to us.”

Lucas, who was overwhelmed by the favor, hurriedly waved his hand. After bidding them farewell, he went straight into the forest without any hesitation.

Not long after they disappeared, Morris approached Audrey. Audrey felt her pocket sink. She took it out and saw that Morris had already taken the token from him.

“Morris.” Audrey felt a little helpless.

From her point of view, since she had already promised not to take the token, she would not take it. Such an action went against what she had just said.

Morris spread his hands. “You should know that for people in our line of work, we don’t take things that are delivered to our door for free. If they escape, I’ll feel very bad.”

“Go and return this. One must have principles.” Audrey’s tone was firm and unquestionable.

Jill also advised him, “It’s just that we’ve already promised not to do such a thing again.”

Morris reached out his hand helplessly and took it. “This is why I hate nobles like you. You’re too inflexible and don’t know how to be flexible.”

Although he said that, his figure obediently disappeared into the dense forest, walking in the direction that the group of people had left.

“Audrey, what should we do? If we run into their group, wouldn’t we be at a disadvantage?” Kate was clearly worried.

Audrey’s azure eyes had a hint of contemplation.

She was thinking about what to do. In fact, such a method had already completely affected the balance of the trial, but there was no other way. The trial had already begun, and they could not stop it.

After Morris returned the things, he came back to look for them. The four of them searched for Hera in the vast forest.

However, the forest was obviously not as calm as they had expected.

Before they had walked far, they heard an ear-piercing scream coming from the right.

“Ahhhhh!”

Alice looked at the two-meter-tall monster in front of her and was so scared that she almost cried.

She had never thought that she would be teleported away from her teammates. Until now, she had not even seen a shadow.

Unexpectedly, when she was hungry and wanted to find something to eat, she accidentally entered a cave.

Who would have thought that there would be such a huge monster in the cave? Moreover, judging from the aura that it emitted, it was definitely above level-20!
