Chapter 123: Wayne’s Weakness
Wayne brought Olivia into the fifth prince’s residence.
He tried to sense where the familiar aura was, but Stanton’s aura seemed to have been isolated. Wayne couldn’t sense it at all.
He had a puzzled expression on his face. With his current strength, he couldn’t find him. What method did the other party use to isolate the aura?
Or could it be that Stanton was no longer in this mansion?
Thinking of this possibility, Wayne’s frown deepened.
Olivia saw his expression and felt the change in his mood.
“Uncle Wayne, what’s wrong?” Olivia was carefully following beside him and asked him.
“Oh, it’s a little strange. We’re already in the mansion, but at such a close distance, I still can’t sense Stanton’s location.”
Wayne whispered the reason why he had stopped.
“You scared me to death. Just leave the search to me.”
Seeing that Wayne was nervous, Olivia also became nervous. After knowing the reason of Wayne’s uneasiness, she was relieved. After all, she was an expert at finding people.
Then Wayne looked at Orina and took out a very small and exquisite mithril whistle.
Under the moonlight, the whistle reflected a beautiful silver light.
Olivia held the whistle in her mouth and blew hard for a long time.
There was no sound, nothing happened.
Wayne looked at her with a puzzled face, he was dumbfounded.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, we’ll know the result soon. My baby has gone to look for it.”
Olivia knew what he was puzzled about. She did not need him to open his mouth to ask and explained herself first.
Wayne wanted to ask more, but seeing that Olivia had already focused her gaze on the front, he did not asked.
“This fifth prince’s residence doesn’t even have a lamp at night. It’s really stingy. This courtyard is so dark. It’s even worse than Rock City.”
The process of waiting was a little boring, Wayne muttered softly.
After a while, Wayne felt a rustling sound around him. This sound was like the movement of a small rodent. His whole body instantly tensed up, and he nervously observed the situation around him.
“Squeak… squeak…”
A small rat the size of a palm rushed out from the darkness and pounced into Olivia’s arms.
“Ugh!” Wayne sucked in a breath of cold air and instantly distanced himself from Olivia.
“Uncle Wayne, Meaty has found Stanton.”
Olivia turned her head and found that Wayne was far away from her with a face full of horror.
“You’re afraid of rats?”
She looked at Wayne in confusion. After a while, she thought of a possibility and asked with uncertainty.
Wayne looked at Olivia, whose hand was still stroking the back of the rat. He felt as if his heart was tightly gripped by a big hand, and his breathing stopped.
Olivia held the rat called Meaty with both hands and handed it to him.
“Uncle Wayne, don’t be afraid. Meaty isn’t actually a rat. It’s very cute.”
The little rat in Olivia’s hand was covered in golden fur. It looked round and small, like a fluffy golden ball, soft and squishy.
It relied on its two hind legs to support itself and stood up straight. Its two front claws were in front of its chest. Following Olivia’s movements, it politely extended one of its claws and waved at Wayne, greeting him.
Wayne was instantly flustered by this series of actions, and he retreated even further.
“No, no, no, don’t come any closer to me…”
Wayne trembled and asked Olivia to take the rat away from him.
“I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect… You’re the princess of the Imperial City, why did you have to raise a rat!”
Wayne was in disbelief, his face full of grief and indignation. If they were not in the enemy’s ground, he would have shouted out loud.
“I already said that Meaty isn’t a rat! It’s a magical beast, it’s an enchanted rat!”
Olivia retorted indignantly, the Meaty in her palm was also indignant. Its two front claws were placed on the lower half of its body, as if it was a human with its hands on its hips while its head raised high.
“Enchanted rats, aren’t they still rats? They’re all rodents!”
“Hurry up, let it led the way to Stanton and leave immediately. I can’t guarantee how long I can endure it!”
Wayne complained in grief and indignation.
“Uncle Wayne, you’re too much. You’re chasing it away after using it. Are you a scumbag?”
“Don’t angry Meaty. don’t angry. Let’s get down to business first. When we go back, we’ll find an opportunity to take revenge!”
“Squeak… squeak…”
Olivia whispered comforting words to the Enchanted rat in her palm. They still had business to do, so they couldn’t waste any more time.
The chubby Enchanted rat was coaxed a few times, but in the end, it still angrily led the way for the two of them.
“Uncle Wayne, if it weren’t for Meaty, I would definitely spend more time looking for Stanton tonight.”
“Meaty’s perception is very strong. No matter how hard you hide, you can’t escape its senses…”
Olivia continued to explain to Wayne along the way, hoping to change his attitude toward Meaty, but it wasn’t of much use.
When they arrived outside the room where Stanton was imprisoned, Wayne was still far away. He stared at Meaty vigilantly, trying to warn it with his eyes and quickly leave his sight.
“Meaty, go back and wait for me…”
Olivia saw that they were going to make a scene again, so she could only quickly ask Meaty to leave.
For the sake of its master, the enchanted rat bared its teeth fiercely at Wayne, turned around and ran into the darkness.
“Phew…”
“Alright, it’s our turn to work.”
Wayne heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the brightly lit room in front of him. There were two shadows reflected on the window.
The courtyard was also wrapped in a layer of black energy with a strange fluctuation.
It was obvious that this layer of strange energy had hidden his perception.
According to the results of his flesh perception, Stanton was locked in this room.
In order to go in and save him without making a big fuss, Wayne still needed to think about how he could smoothly enter the room.
…
Compared to Wayne’s hardship in the Imperial City, life in Rock City was much more peaceful.
With the arrival of the four demon lords, the tavern was much livelier than before.
Every day, Alan’s vigorous shouts could be heard in the tavern. He was either urging Abraham and Samael to stop playing games and work quickly or telling Asmodeus to stop flirting and take care of the other customers.
The aunt in the neighboring snack bar had an inexplicable smile on her face recently. Every time Alan saw her husband, he felt a little guilty.
The treatment of the gray fog in rock city was basically over. Although the plants in the city had been continuously absorbing and digesting the gray fog in the sky, their speed was not as fast as before.
Putting aside the situation in the sky, after the city regained its clarity, Kramer and Severino’s work was no longer so busy. They finally had more free time.
“Uncle Kramer, Uncle Severino, why are you here so early today?”
The small tavern had just opened for business. Other than the group of people who came to play games and mahjong, there were very few customers. Surprisingly, Kramer and Severino actually came so early.
“It’s rare that the weather in Rock City is much better today. There aren’t too many things to deal with, so I might as well come and have a seat. Recently, I’ve always heard that you’ve produced quite a number of new types of magic wine.”
Kramer said cheerfully. Coupled with his chubby figure, Alan felt that he looked like Colonel Sanders in his previous life.
“Yes, there are a few new types of whiskey and magic wine. I’ll go prepare them for you. Please wait for a while.”
Knowing their purpose of coming, Alan turned around and left to prepare magic whiskey for them.
During this period of time, many guests had been full of praise for magic whiskey. Alan could not help but feel a little smug in his heart.
