Lance glanced at him: "Are you blind? You can't even see it so obviously?"
Gru resisted the urge to rush over and hit him. He didn't know whether it was because of his good tutoring or because he was afraid JiangCheng who stood aside like a wooden pile.
He whispered: "What I mean is that only the building layout map is useless. If we really want to leave this place, we need something more detailed."
"No." Lance said without thinking, "We have only this thing." There is only this map in his memory.
Anna's tutoring was still good. She suppressed her desire to curse others and said: "It's too easy to be discovered on the ground. Throughout the ages, escaping from the enemy's territory has been nothing more than flying to the sky or hiding to the underground. This is the territory of you demons. We can't fly, so hiding to the underground might be a better choice."
"Forget this idea." Lance waved his hand: "My second brother is from the Crypt Race. Demons in that race may not know other skills but must be the top-notch in digging holes! Do you believe that we can dig holes faster than him?"
So you brought us here just to beat our self-confidence?
Anna didn't say these words, but reasoned with a dark face: "What I mean is, it's easier to run if we have the layout of the underground of this city."
"No." Lance shook his head, "I don't remember I have this thing."
Gru quickly said: "This map is usually in the city hall."
"Is that so?" Lance pondered.
Anna's eyes instantly lit up with hope. But...
"Sorry." Lance shook his head again: "I don't know many people in the city hall. In fact... I know very few people in this city and don't have good relationships with most."
Anna was shocked: "You are the third prince of this Second Demon Capital!"
Lance shrugged his shoulders: "But I am a waste. The strength is supreme in the demon race, so even though I am the third prince, I have been a joke since I was a child. And it's not safe because others will know my movement very quick~ I'm not bragging about that speed!"
The fact should have been quite sad, but Anna couldn't see a trace of sadness or shame on his face. Why are you so proud! She wanted to curse!
Just when this group was about to collapse due to his unreliability, Lance finally became serious. "Besides, you better not think about escaping for the time being. You can't escape."
Everyone was attracted by Lance's serious expression and heard him continue: "Because my role is zero now."
Phew~ A fire ball flashed from Anna's hands! Do we need you to say this?
Lance could see that the girl's original neutrality instantly turned into hostility. Fortunately, Gru suddenly stopped in front of Anna: "My lord! Calm down! Calm down!"
"Hey, don't get excited." Lance saw that the heat was almost done and said with a smile: "I say this to remind you to face reality. Escaping from this city is destined not to be accomplished overnight. Although I don't know what your strength is, I do know that there are more than ten masters in the Holy Domain just in this city. Are you able to escape by using the usual methods?"
In this world, there is supernatural power controlled by these creatures, such as magic energy and demon energy. Naturally, there are some power level systems.
However, many races have different abilities, so this system is difficult to unify. Just like the schools on the earth, there are many names and the power rating systems such as ancient martial arts, Muay Thai, karate and so on. So is the world.
At the beginning, there were also some intelligent races who wanted to develop a unified power level system for the entire continent. From the miscellaneous books that Lance read, he remembered that these people were really capable and had indeed come up with some ideas.
But every race has its preferences, and that race is no exception. That race seems to be called the Mario Race, and the system was based on the hard head of their own race. After creating it, some people thought it was good and tried to use this system, which made them very happy and shout every day that their heads were the best in the world. Then they were died out because of this.
This system was naturally broken, but it left behind the most intuitive and concise judgment standard. That is, when people in one level is definitely unable to beat another level, they will be divided into two certain levels. The basic system like junior, middle and high level was emerged.
However, these level will still have some deviations due to races. For example, although his second brother is a high-level demon, his size and talent are probably better than high-level human warriors.
Among these levels, there is one that can break through the limitations of racial talent. At that level, a weak halfling can defeat a group of giants! This level is called Saint Level!
Sure enough, after hearing more than a dozen demons in the Saint Level, Anna calmed down instantly.
Seeing that her status changed from hostile to neutral, Lance breathed a sigh of relief, "So, you guys should find underground passages and study escape routes. Though it is necessary, it is not the most important thing at this stage."
Gru felt it made sense and couldn't help but ask: "Then what is the most important thing now?"
"Of course it's me." Lance stood up and said with great pride: "If you want to leave here, you can only rely on my power! I am the only one in this city who can help you!"
"You?" A group of people shook their heads unconsciously. If half a day ago, these people would probably believed it.
"What's your reaction!" Lance snorted: "Don't look down on me. You were the target of a blood sacrifice before! Even I can't just let you go easily! Do you know the reason I get you here? "
Anna looked at him, her heart moved slightly. She blurted out: "Magic!"
"Yes!" Lance gave Anna a surprise look.
"So you want....."
Lance smiled slightly: "I want to learn magic."
However, something that Lance didn't expect happened. "No!!!" Everyone except Anna shouted in unison!
Their reaction made Lance stunned.
This word "No" probably means that they don't want Anna to teach him magic, right? Shouldn't they show an expression of caution? Why do these people have...fear on their faces?
"Shut up!" Anna yelled shamely, then looked at Lance seriously: "No problem! I can teach you magic!"
"Really?" Lance suddenly looked wary. Things are going too smoothly! And the behavior of these people is too abnormal!
"What's wrong?" Anna saw the confused expression on his face.
"No." Lance scratched his head: "You just agreed? Without any hesitation?"
"Why do I hesitate?" Anna said calmly: "You also said that you are the key to our escape. Helping you is helping ourselves."
[Anna status: Weak, Friendly]
Do you think I would believed your reasons so easily? There must be something ghostly about this! She was so friendly when she said this.
But Lance also knew that blindly relying on external forces would not do him any good. Except for a certainman who loves to eat apples, winning by outsmarting mostly happens when one's own power is weak.
Lance wants to escape from the demon city and see the big world in the future. He can't continue to be such a loser and the conditions also don't allow it! So if possible, what he wants is to strengthen his power!
Since the spell that summoned JiangCheng King would be judged by the world as the power of magic, then it should have some relationship with magic.
After thinking about it for a moment, Lance laughed again: "No, I'm just curious about how readily you agreed. But it doesn't matter, it's a good thing that you can be so cooperative."
"In that case." Anna raised her hands: "Open it for me." That's the magic-forbidden chain. With this thing, these people can't use 95% of their whole power.
However, Lance curled his lips: "You're making me stupid! What if I untie you and then you throw a big fireball in my face?"
Does his IQ fluctuate? Anna felt that she couldn't understand this demon prince. She took a breath and softened her voice: "How is it possible? This is the demon capital. What's the benefit of me hurting you? It doesn't do any good to us, right? Besides, aren't there guards standing beside you?"
Lance panicked. This girl could retort him with his words! He thought for a moment and asked: "Why do you need to remov the chain when you teach me magic?"
Anna looked confused: "How can I teach you if you don't remove it? I want to show you magic."
Lance scratched his head: "Is that right? Shouldn't it start with the basics, such as speaking the spells? You first teach me the pronunciation of spells, like the phonetic symbols of finals and consonants."
Anna was confused: "What is that? The teaching of magic is to show magic, observe the prototype of the elements and then use spells to activate them. Observe first, then spell. Otherwise, what's the use of only knowing spells? Those are memorized by rote. Everyone can do it, but have you seen that everyone is a magician?"
Lance thought it makes sense. He looked at Anna, thought for a moment and said, "Come with me."
