Chapter 8 How did you get in?
"I am willing to pay any price as long as Lady Fiona is willing to take me out."
"Hmm? Any cost?"
Fiona left long ago under the pretext of a purge.
Only after calming down did he return to the temple hall.
To hide her unease, she deliberately burned the goblin trash left in the hall, making the air smell a little better.
Lin Qi watched quietly as the other person finished their work, then stepped forward and offered the girl a way out.
He could tell that this powerful female swordswoman, despite her seemingly rigid demeanor, was actually a bit shy.
Fiona's eyes lit up, and she immediately forgot her previous embarrassment.
As believers in the god of fairness, their favorite thing is exchange.
The other party can put you in an awkward position with just a few words; they are indeed clever. And the price that clever people pay is often the price that the god of fairness likes.
It is also beneficial to oneself.
Even if the opponent is an evil god, it doesn't matter; the neutral and lawful faction doesn't care about that.
Making a pact with an evil god... that's kind of interesting to think about.
Fiona made the most important decision of her life.
"Very well, in the name of the God of Fairness, I, Fiona, accept your commission."
"But the price still needs to be paid, and the judgment of the god of fairness is required."
After a while.
The two fell silent.
An unexpected situation arose.
This time, what flew was the gold coin that represented Lynch.
Fiona's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
What the hell is this?
She had never encountered this situation before!
My mind went blank for a moment.
However, the guy above tentatively opened his mouth.
"If the previous time meant that the price of taking me out was too high, then this time it means that there is no price to pay for taking me out at all."
"or."
The other person's words struck Fiona's heart.
"Or perhaps, in fact, it is only through the combined efforts of the two of us that we can get out."
Lynch quickly changed his tune to avoid embarrassing Fiona.
Such a powerful and beautiful young swordswoman wandered in this filthy dungeon for so long, just to find that cunning goblin Gudu?
unreasonable.
"Fiona, you don't want people outside to know you're trapped here, do you?"
Lin Qi thought to himself.
Fiona's heart was pounding, her face was as red as lava, and she kept her head down, trying her best not to let the other person see her.
After a long while, she finally managed to suppress her emotions.
"Let's do it again."
"Fair trade".
"Leaving aside the facts, let's just talk about the price you paid to be on the ground."
then.
Lin Qi was deeply shocked as he looked at the mountain of crystals that barely matched the gold coins that represented him.
According to Fiona...
The price these crystals represent is enough to acquire a rather extravagant fiefdom within the duchy.
"Based on this ruling, I, Fiona, can conclude that your identity is indeed not simple."
"Going out might cause trouble for the world."
"And I don't think you have the corresponding leverage."
Lin Qi felt a slight unease.
Is this guy trying to cheat?
"Could I pay it back in cash, and then slowly after I get out?"
Lin Qi thought for a moment, feeling somewhat uncertain, and whispered.
"Then I think it would be better to just kill you directly, to prevent the world from suffering."
Clang.
Fiona drew her sword.
Lin Qi's heart skipped a beat.
"What should we do then?"
Fiona pretended to think.
"Installment payment, with a final condition: if you cannot repay within a certain period, you will become my servant."
To make an evil god your servant?
"for how long?"
"Let me think about it."
"Let's make it a three-year promise."
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years..."
"What?"
"It's okay, I can do it."
. . .
The surging black mist was silent and endless.
"Is this what you mean by 'coming out'?"
Fiona and Lynch stood before the stone bridge. On the back of each of their hands, a golden scale-like pattern appeared, which would flash and echo each other when they were slightly close.
This is a manifestation of an agreement reached through the god of fairness.
Meanwhile, Lynch successfully accessed Fiona's data panel.
[Character: Fiona]
Race: Human
[Class: Tier 1 Chosen Swordsman]
[Attributes: Strength 120, Stamina 99, Intelligence 10, Spirit 99, Agility 99, Divinity: ???]
[Skill: Unknown]
[Alliance: Lawful Neutral]
[Note: Heir to the Duke of Fury family]
Strong.
It's incredibly strong.
Lin Qi clicked his tongue in amazement.
But this powerful chosen swordsman was staring intently at the black mist, his face full of solemnity.
As the chosen one of the God of Fairness, she has an extraordinary perception of certain dangers.
The black mist opposite her made her wary.
But as believers in the god of fairness, taking risks is never the first choice.
"Your Excellency Fiona, look..."
"Don't use 'Your Excellency' or 'Your Excellency,' just call me Fiona."
Fiona waved her hand, turned and left without a trace of regret.
Lynch followed.
"There's something fishy about this black mist; the artifact warns against approaching recklessly."
"We must not leave from here unless absolutely necessary. Let's look for another exit."
"How do I find it?"
Lin Qi asked.
"Keep sweeping!"
Fiona brandished the sword in her hand.
. . .
A month has passed.
Fiona believes she is actually a person with a very strong will. For example, she practiced swordsmanship diligently from a young age, was extremely tenacious in her divine trials, and was able to pass the tests set by her grandfather steadily.
But she had never imagined such a scenario.
They were trapped in a dark, damp, and putrid underground labyrinth for a whole month.
They searched the entire maze from top to bottom, but found no other exit.
There was absolutely no hope of getting out.
Her own temple armor, which consumed too many crystals, had been stored in her spatial ring.
Although her ring was not small, as a privileged young woman, she had never imagined such a predicament.
The supplies we brought were less than the combat equipment we carried.
Looking at the useless runes, weapons, and alchemical bombs in her ring, Fiona felt somewhat discouraged.
She suddenly felt a bit of admiration for the guy next to her who was expressionlessly munching on moss.
He doesn't look very old, but he's really good at enduring hardship and has a very stable mindset.
He's practically a born believer in lawfulness.
"We finished our fourth sweep yesterday."
"All the grey dwarves have been wiped out, but not a single goblin has been seen."
"This is really unusual."
The bitterness in Lin Qi's mouth did not disrupt his train of thought.
"Even if a goblin has X-ray vision, it can't keep going in circles with us."
"so what?"
Fiona replied somewhat weakly.
"My powerful swordsman friend, we must have overlooked something."
Lin Qi stared at her intently.
The two gradually became acquainted and learned through conversation that Fiona was only fifteen years old and still a student.
Fifteen years old!
My body is a bit precocious.
Moreover, if a fifteen-year-old possesses such powerful attributes, how dangerous must the surface world be for an evil god who is powerless to even kill a chicken?
No, I need to find another opportunity to keep boosting the data.
Lynch made up his mind.
"What could you possibly have missed? With your excellent memory, what could you possibly have missed?"
As they grew closer, Fiona gradually shed her serious demeanor as a divine swordswoman, revealing her girlish nature.
She had truly experienced Lin Qi's mind firsthand; it was practically a human map. If they hadn't already signed a contract, she would have wanted to cut him in half to take a look.
Are there any evil runes that can enhance brainpower?
Lin Qi glanced at her.
Have you noticed something?
"What's wrong?"
"You never told me how you got in."
Lynch stared intently at Fiona.
