Chapter 16 - Compassion

The room was still filled with the disgusting smell of burnt flesh.

Li Mo glanced at the smoking charred corpse. There were only a few people's steady breaths lingering in the cave, and the two guards at the entrance of the cave should not have woken up yet.

He was determined to obtain the Sword of Lazska. To be able to command such a powerful army like the Lazska tribe, it would be easy for him to unify the continent in the future.

However, if he were to rashly bring such the sword back, Melia and the rest would definitely be suspicious, especially Iris.

If she were to discover it, she would definitely execute him for stealing!

This was a secret that could not be leaked!

And he had just revealed that he knew dragon magic in front of Angela.

If she were to leak this secret, he would also be in big trouble.

The best way was to get rid of everyone!

Only the dead could keep secrets!

Thinking of this, Li Mo walked to Phil, who was sleeping like a dead pig, without hesitation. He raised his leg and kicked his waist.

Phil did not respond at all and continued to sleep.

Li Mo sneered and bent down to untie Phil's sword from his waist. He casually made a few gestures in the air.

"It's a good sword, but it's far from the Sword of Laszka!"

Li Mo mumbled and then looked at Phil coldly.

"Using your sword to send you off is also my greatest kindness to you."

As he said that, he quickly pierced Phil's heart with his sword.

"Psh..."

The sword pierced through Phil's chest. It was obvious how powerful it was.

Thinking of Phil's vicious words, Li Mo twisted the blade of the sword a few times.

Seeing that Phil did not respond, Li Mo pulled the sword back out with force.

The blade left his body, along with Phil's boiling blood.

Seeing the scarlet blood on the blade spraying onto his robe, Li Mo frowned slightly.

"Tsk... I've dirtied my robe."

Seeing Phil's face quickly turn from pale to purple, Li Mo looked around.

There was nothing in the secret room except for the stone statue. It was impossible to hide Phil's body without being discovered.

Then, he dragged Phil's legs and pulled him toward the secret passage with all his strength and toward the treasure cave.

Looking at the piles of glittering gold, Li Mo shook his head and looked at Phil's cold body. "You're more precious than a king. You shall be buried with gold."

As he said that, he began to move Phil's body to the corner of the vault. He covered Phil's body with gold and gemstones.

Li Mo stood up and hammered his waist.

Then he held the sword and slowly walked back to the secret room.

He walked to Angela's side and looked down at her who was still sleeping on the ground.

The sword in Li Mo's hand was stained with Phil's blood. It dripped down the blade and directly blossomed into blood-red flowers on the ground.

When Li Mo raised the sword, about to stab Angela's heart, he suddenly thought of something and stopped.

He put down the sword and squatted down. His left hand caressed Angela's fair face as he whispered.

"Wouldn't it be a pity to just kill her like that?"

Li Mo touched his chin and said, "The system has said that you can get rewards by having sex with women, although you three are slightly less beautiful than Melia."

"But a man doesn't care about trifles. If I can have sex with them. I shouldn't waste it."

As long as he could have sex with all three women, with his excellent skills, the climax should be decent.

Then, he stood up and cut three thick and long strips of cloth from Angela's magic robe. He tied Angela, Mace, and Alizi up.

In order to prevent Angela from using magic to undo the strips of cloth after she woke up, Li Mo threw her wand into the furthest corner.

Then, he cut a few strips of cloth and tied their feet up. Moreover, they were tied in a dead knot. Unless a sharp weapon was used to separate them, they would not be able to break free.

After making sure that the three of them would not wake up for the time being, Li Mo carried the sword and walked quickly to the cave entrance.

Looking at the two guards who were still sitting cross-legged without moving, Li Mo once again sighed at the power of the knockout drug concocted by the elves.

They were knocked out for such a long time despite their strong bodies, let alone the humans! !

The efficacy of the drug would at least be twice that against the dragons!

If he had the chance to come into contact with the elves in the future, he would definitely get more of these drugs.

Li Mo looked at the guards and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, brother. Everything is for the great cause! I promise that I will burn a lot of ingots for you in the future so that you can eat and drink well down there."

As he said that, he lifted his sword and slashed at the necks of the two guards without hesitation.

Blood sprayed out and instantly dyed the clothes of the guards and the ground at the entrance of the cave red.

Looking at the skin on the neck opening up, blood kept oozing out. The wound was so deep that the bones could be seen.

Li Mo felt that he was a little cruel. However, in order to gain Melia's trust, there was nothing he couldn't do!

Without lingering at the entrance of the cave, Li Mo quickly walked back to the secret room.

The only thing left to do now was to hide the Sword of Laszka. If Melia and the others found the sword, they would definitely strengthen their defenses and put the sword in a safer place.

By then, it would be more difficult for him to take the sword away.

However, Li Mo walked around the cave several times, but still could not find a suitable place.

Then, he took off Angela's robe and wrapped the sword with it.

With the sword, Li Mo quickly walked out of the cave and went up the mountain.

He clearly remembered that when he came down the road, he passed by a small cave.

The cave was very small, and there was no magic barrier outside. The entire cave was overgrown with weeds. If he did not look carefully, he would not have noticed its existence.

When he reached the cave entrance, Li Mo looked around vigilantly. After making sure that there was no one around, he placed the sword in the deepest part of the cave and covered it with some withered grass and stones.

After taking care of everything, Li Mo returned the way he came, intending to find Melia.

As he walked all the way up the mountain, Li Mo did not try to hide like he did when he went down the mountain.

When he saw some guards at the entrance of the cave, Li Mo went forward.

"Do you know where Her Majesty is now? I have something urgent to report to her."

However, the guards of the Dragon Kingdom were more vigilant. When they saw that Li Mo was just a human slave, they only looked at him with suspicion and did not reply.

Li Mo knew that it was almost impossible to find out the location of Queen Melia from them, so he quickly left and continued to walk up the mountain.

As there were many slaves in the Dragon Palace, Li Mo stopped each one of them to ask.

However, they all looked like they had seen some kind of monster. Before Li Mo could finish his question, they all ran away in panic.

The entire hidden Dragon Mountain was so big. Even if they knew that Queen Melia was talking to the elders somewhere on the top of the mountain, he might not be able search everywhere in the dark.

With this thought in mind, Li Mo decided to return to the room that Melia had arranged for him and wait for her to come back.

However, just as he arrived at the door of the room, he bumped into Queen Melia who was walking out from the room.
