185: Stupid Dick?
Chapter 185: Simple-minded Dick?
Although the situation was heavily against them, Dick knew that his side still held the advantage.
The Red Falcon Adventurer Group didn't know they had been exposed; by taking advantage of this information gap, they might just be able to turn the tide.
The next second, Dick opened the car door with a relaxed expression, stepping aside to make way, saying, "Come in, there's plenty of space in the car, I don't mind taking some guests."
Hearing this, Victoria was taken aback. She hadn't expected Dick to be so... helpful. She thought he would refuse outright on the spot.
Victoria hadn't actually expected to get in the car; she was just making an excuse, intending to deliberately pick a fight to force the Magical Vehicle to stop.
"Young man, aren't you worried that we might be bad people?"
Victoria kept a wary eye, after all, the Red Falcon Adventurer Group had a large number of people and they were all strangers. It was truly strange that Dick would let them into the car so easily.
However, Dick just waved his hand with an arrogant expression, saying, "So what if you're bad people? We've hired three Super Squads for escort; we can walk sideways anywhere in this Gaia Dungeon..."
Listening to Dick's arrogant response, the doubts in Victoria's heart quickly dissipated.
It was currently the Championship period, and there were restrictions on the adventurers who could enter the Gaia Dungeon. Non-participants could not exceed level 20.
While there were no restrictions on participants, the ceiling was the Adventurer Group's Super Squads, and Dick had a full three of them in his car.
Seen in this light, Dick indeed had the capital to fear nothing.
Seeing Dick's hospitable and welcoming demeanor, Victoria soon nodded lightly and led the members of the Red Falcon Adventurer Group into the car.
In her opinion, they were completely like wolves entering a flock of sheep!
Originally, Victoria had been wary of Dick, after all, the titles of Elite and Head of the Academy Swordsman Department were right there.
Furthermore, since Dick was the captain of the Nate Team and deeply trusted by the Empress, he was likely an extremely cautious person.
But after a few sentences of conversation, Victoria directly classified Dick into the ranks of "cannon fodder," believing he would not become an obstacle to this assassination mission.
Dick was overly conceited, revealing his confidence prematurely, showing a complete youthful mindset. Such an idiot was not worth mentioning!
Soon, Dick led the Red Falcon Adventurer Group into a carriage. All the way, he was introducing his Magical Vehicle and the strength of his side.
And Victoria and the rest of the Red Falcon Adventurers were also very cooperative, constantly exclaiming and praising, providing emotional value to Dick.
Victoria's acting was impeccable; she played a low-level adventurer who had never seen the world vividly.
And Dick's acting was equally perfect. He looked completely like a young man who liked to show off, not hiding his capabilities at all, which was reassuring.
Inside a carriage, the Best Actor, Best Actress, and a group of veteran actors were all performing together.
Dick knew that deliberately revealing some surface weaknesses to make the enemy think they controlled everything was the truly insidious move.
This Magical Vehicle was like a huge fishing net, and now the large fish that were the Red Falcon Adventurer Group had already entered the net.
"I didn't expect the young man to be the captain of the Nate Team, how fortunate we are!"
Victoria flattered him, and then said very naturally, "Could you introduce us to the other members of the Nate Team? Let us see the style of this year's champion squad..."
"Of course, no problem, I'll go get them now." Dick readily agreed, left humming a tune, and even seemed a bit impatient.
Victoria nodded inwardly and quickly transmitted a message to the surrounding Red Falcon Adventurers.
"Remember, the Empress and her close attendants are all wearing white fox masks. When you see them later, Group A will carry out the assassination, Groups B and C will provide assistance, and Group D will guard the surroundings..."
Victoria narrowed her eyes slightly, a sinister smile playing on the corner of her lips.
If she could bypass the three Super Squads and kill Elizabeth directly, that would naturally be excellent. This was the plan with the fewest variables and the highest efficiency.
Victoria never expected that the group could meet the Empress so easily without a fight, all thanks to this simple-minded Dick.
Originally, when Victoria heard that there were three Super Squads escorting them outside, she thought they would face a fierce battle later.
However, this Dick was actually so conceited as to let the wolf into the house, cooperating with her group to complete the assassination. Victoria even wanted to give Dick an award.
Leaning back in the soft chair, Victoria crossed her legs, watching the rapidly receding scenery outside the car window, quietly waiting for Elizabeth's arrival.
Victoria had waited for this moment for almost two years.
She gave up the comfortable life in the Royal Palace and her status as a princess, instead running to a foreign land to be a hidden infiltrator, all for the ambition of unifying the Northern region.
Father, I can finally complete the mission you gave me!
The moment Elizabeth died, Victoria would immediately activate her backup plan within the Royal Family.
To make the princes and princesses with inheritance rights fight for power, to make the greedy nobles incite civil war, and to make the Aimiya Empire disintegrate from within!
It was foreseeable that without Elizabeth, the wise Empress, Amyria would face decline, even if it didn't perish.
And the Toya Empire would lose a powerful competitor, become invincible in the Northern part of the continent, and become the first strong nation!
Speaking of which... Victoria glanced around and quickly became interested in this efficient and comfortable Magical Vehicle as well.
"Hmm, after returning to the country, I should mention it to Father. This Magical Vehicle is quite an excellent industry; it can take my Toya Empire to the next level."
Victoria murmured softly and continued watching the scenery outside the car window.
Suddenly, Victoria stood up, her delicate brows tightly furrowed. She noticed something very strange.
The position she was sitting in was facing away from the front of the car, but the scenery outside the window was constantly receding!
What did this mean?
It meant that this Magical Vehicle had unknowingly changed direction. It was not heading towards the Underground City exit at this moment, but rather towards the entrance of the Second Layer!
Victoria paled with shock and quickly shouted loudly, "It's a trap! We've been discovered! That cunning young man deceived us!"
Swish—
The members of the Red Falcon Adventurer Group drew their weapons one after another and started hacking at the Magical Vehicle, but neither the windows nor the doors were penetrable.
The weapons even sparked!
Is this made of wood?
"Lady Victoria, this... this Magical Vehicle is moving, it's actually alive!"
"Damn it, the speed is getting faster and faster, what does that young man want to do?"
"That young man is gone, there's no one in any of the carriages..."
"There's no one at the front either, this Magical Vehicle is actually driverless!"
At this moment, countless vines drilled out from various parts of the carriage, attacking the members of the Red Falcon Adventurer Group one after another. Their speed was extremely fast, and their angles were tricky.
As early as when Victoria and the others got into the car, Dick had already immediately transmitted a message to everyone inside the Magical Vehicle, telling them to pack their things immediately and leave quietly from the back of the car.
At the same time, Dick also ordered Kun to secretly change direction, making the forward movement turn into backward movement, thereby getting rid of the Red Falcon Adventurer Group without anyone noticing.
The urgent task was to first create distance from the Red Falcon Adventurer Group. After all, the difference in apparent strength between the two sides was clear, and direct combat was not wise.
