Chapter 163 The Qualifications of the Chief

There is no sun in the underground city, so there is no way to show the changes between day and night, and it will always be dark and dark.

Downton entered the independent laboratory again, and when he returned ten days later with the prepared potion, the injuries he suffered while leveling up were almost completely healed.

"Finally we can set off!" Hu Tao, wearing a red light armor and carrying a battle ax, couldn't wait to go out.

Homer and Jackson found the armor from an armor shop. Although it was only Excellent grade and the special effects attached to it were broken, it still had better defense than the ordinary leather armor that little Loli originally had.

"Go and clear the way!" Seeing Jackson not moving, Downton kicked him in the thigh. Not only was this guy lazy, he was also afraid of death. If he didn't use violence, he wouldn't take the initiative at all.

"It's me again?" Jackson was very depressed, but he still took out the dagger, stepped forward with his long legs, ran a few steps, and rushed in front of Hutao.

"What are you complaining about? You will be the team's scout from now on. Otherwise, besides speed and 'immortality', what other advantages do you have?"

Downton, who was heavily armed, followed with his team and taught Jackson a lesson.

Behind him is Celes, who is floating in the air one meter above the ground, holding the grimoire, and behind him are two low-level ghouls, who are responsible for cutting off the queen and protecting the Death Banshee.

"How many times have I told you not to wander around, do you want to be used as a target?" Homer began to blame Celeste again, "In a team, the magicians of the magic system are always the target of attack. Do you think you are a target?"

You can’t die quickly enough, can you?”

Celes lowered her head and landed on the ground. Ever since she was reincarnated, she always used the floating technique whenever she wanted to walk. This had become a habit and it was a bit troublesome to change.

"Trouble must be corrected. You are so much higher than others. If the opponent's archer doesn't shoot, who will you shoot?" Homer couldn't wait for Celes to slowly accumulate tactical literacy, and he wanted to forcefully instill it in her.

"When we have tall abominations, even if you float, they can still block you." Downton comforted the Death Banshee, "Don't cry. When you advance to a few more levels, I will prepare magic materials for you. From the deathrattle

The plane summons a demon servant, and when the time comes there are bodyguards, you can float however you want!"

"You can't pamper her!" Homer was dissatisfied. "Any magic god, even if he has a giant dragon or an abyss monster as a servant, will never put his own safety on them."

"Listen. Homer has high expectations for you, don't let him down." Downton teased Celes.

"I will work hard!" Celes nodded solemnly, feeling that there was so much pressure.

Homer realized that he had accidentally let slip his expectations for the Death Banshee, but he was not prepared to defend himself. With Celes's qualifications, as long as she worked hard, even if she could not become a Dharma God, being a Death Lord would be more than enough!

Walnut took the lead, and after turning a corner, he arrived at the center of Baker Main Street. Then he trotted and rushed to a sewer opening, waving to Downton.

"Brother, come quickly, we found it."

Hutao shouted. Without waiting for Downton to respond, Hutao directly picked up the tearing dragon tooth, shouted, and smashed it towards the manhole cover.

Although the manhole cover was made of iron, it had long since rusted. It was much more fragile, and it could withstand the powerful impact of the walnuts and broke into more than a dozen pieces with a loud bang.

The little Loli leaned out and looked into the sewer mouth. Unfortunately, it was dark inside and she couldn't see anything.

"Keep your voice down, are you going to attract all the wandering ghouls?" Downton slapped Hu Tao on the forehead and directed Jackson, who was standing aside, "Why are you in a daze? Go to Bellon Street."

"Hey, not here? Why?" Hutao was puzzled.

"Although you need to use the sewer to enter the cathedral, it doesn't mean that you have to walk down the entire road. The monsters in the North District are more powerful, so you can start from Belon Street close to the North District." Homer explained.

All the monsters in the nearby area have been killed by Downton. Occasionally, there are a few that have wandered in recently, but they do not pose a threat at all.

Twenty minutes later, Downton arrived at Bellon Street. However, he did not rush to enter the sewer. Instead, he chose a private house and built a temporary stronghold after making sure that it and the surrounding area were safe.

"Have you even considered these details? Thinking about it so much? Will it be very tiring?" Hu Tao saw Homer carving a magic circle in the bedroom, and no matter how stupid he was, he knew they were arranging an escape route.

"Take a break and eat and drink something. After entering the sewer, the smell may not be good, and there may be germs, so all eating behaviors are prohibited." Downton asked the grimoire to project a three-dimensional map and thought about it carefully.

"Being the leader, there are too many things to consider, right? I'm definitely not going to be able to do it." Hutao sat cross-legged on the chair, looked at Downton who was thinking deeply, sighed dejectedly, and then felt that he was so powerful.

My eldest brother is so proud of you.

"Study hard and you can do it." Downton laughed dumbly.

"Yes, study. My wisdom has not improved much recently. It must be because I am lazy!" Hutao slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, he quickly took out a large book from the leather schoolbag he was carrying, and quickly

of reading.

Poof, this time Homer couldn't help but laugh, and his big bronze hand shook violently.

Because the cover of the book actually says the four golden characters "Book of Wisdom", which is not low-key at all. It seems that this is Hutao's "trump card" that he spent a year's savings to buy in an attempt to increase his wisdom.

"Is this useful?" Celes floated in front of Hu Tao, very curious and suspicious.

"Of course, the boss said that after reading it, you can become a great scholar who knows everything about the past and the present. Well, even more powerful than the Grimoire." Hu Tao frowned and thought for a long time, but still felt that the Grimoire had the most profound knowledge, so he used it as a metaphor.

The little Lolita's patience was limited, and after holding on for less than ten minutes, she took Celes and Jackson to sit on the ground and played King's Poker.

"Why am I the loser again?" Hutao was very depressed. He opened his wallet and gave everyone a gold coin.

"How dare I ask for your gold coins!" Jackson flattered, with no intention of returning it. He held the gold coin to his mouth and blew a breath, listening to the metal vibrating, and then put it away with a satisfied look on his face.

Put it in your pocket.

"Humph, you don't have to pay back, I can win it back soon." Hutao was arrogant, shuffling the cards, and urged unwillingly, "Come again!"

Celes clutched a handful of gold coins and was excited. She finally won money for the first time, which greatly satisfied her self-esteem. She had never won once when she played cards with Downton, Homer, and Jackson before.

I lose everything every time.

Downton didn't dare to relax. In addition to memorizing the map, he also had to consider all emergencies that might arise during the operation and then make a response strategy.

Homer is very satisfied with Downton's performance. This is the basis for becoming an excellent leader and the responsibility he should shoulder. Only by this kind of painstaking and meticulous preparation can he be flexible and adaptable during adventures.

, in the event of an accident, minimize the loss.

For two hours, the focused Downton was like a stone sculpture. Apart from occasionally writing at his desk, he almost always stared at the three-person structural diagram.

"Don't you think he's tired?" Celes felt sorry for Downton, "You guys can play, I'll make him a cup of black tea."

"His nerves are made of steel, so he won't get tired." Although Jackson teased Downton, he admired him from the bottom of his heart. This kind of master would definitely do something great in the future. Following him might be a kind of success.

Lucky.

"Steel? Really?" Hutao looked at Downton in shock, and then showed an expression of realization, "No wonder he is so powerful, it turns out he has nerves of steel, but I have never heard of this race?"

"Let me tell you another secret. Not only the nerves, but also the lower body are made of iron. If you don't believe it, you can touch it!" Before Jackson could finish speaking, a book fell on its head.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart." Downton frowned.

"Hey, who should play cards?" Jackson pretended that he had done nothing and urged Celes to play cards seriously.

In the dungeon, you can never feel the passage of time. Homer completed the temporary teleportation array and told Downton that he could take action.

"Pack up your equipment and set off." Downton stood up and stretched.

"Wait, let's play another game." Hutao made a stop gesture and quickly shuffled the cards.

"Do you still have money? I don't play with poor people!" Jackson stood up. Several of his pockets were filled with gold coins, and there were even a few gold tickets mixed in.

"Uh!" Hutao was dumbfounded and looked to the side.

There lay a shriveled frog money bag, which was already empty at night. The little Loli had lost all the money Downton gave her, not even a copper was left.

"Hey, why are there none?" Hutao grabbed the money bag and shook it down hard, trying to pour out a copper plate.

Celes couldn't stand it anymore, so she took a handful of gold coins and pushed them in front of her.

"Humph, I don't want other people's money," Hutao jumped up, shouldered his backpack, picked up his tomahawk, and walked towards the door, "Next time, next time I will definitely win it back."

Downton could hear the cry in Hu Tao's voice.

The little loli really cried after losing. This was not only a financial loss, but also an insult to her IQ.

"Next time we play again, if you try to cheat again, I'll stomp on your hand." Downton glared at Jackson. This guy was so cruel. He never let the little Loli win.

"Ah? Why didn't I see it?" Celes was stunned and looked at Jackson with disbelief on her face. The Death Banshee should be lucky. If Jackson hadn't been worried about winning them all and being dealt with by Downton, she would definitely not even have a single one.

Not even a copper plate can be left behind.

"Okay, let's go!" Homer urged.

Downton found the sewer opening closest to the temporary stronghold, and after letting Hutao destroy the manhole cover, two low-level ghouls jumped in, followed by Jackson.

"If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately and don't show off." Before Downton could finish his instructions, the curious little Loli jumped down.

"Take care of her!" After instructing the grimoire, Downton jumped in with a lighted oil lamp, but darkness still came to him. (To be continued...)
