Of course, of course, of course. Although what the main character succubus said sounds a bit unbelievable, what's even more unbelievable is that what the main character succubus said is actually true.
The sound just now was indeed caused by a minotaur falling into a snow ditch. As for its weight and size, that's another issue. And the verb "fall" wasn't quite accurate. To be precise, it stepped into a hole, then immediately sank, and after that, it disappeared...
Others found this very puzzling. However, the main character succubus knew that, in essence, it wasn't a big deal. That place was most likely a ditch. It had been filled with snow over the past two days, making it look like flat ground. But stepping on it would cause it to collapse. After it collapsed, the surrounding snow would rush in, filling the hole, and then nothing would be left.
That's how it was. After the main character succubus shouted, the other demons and tiefling mercenaries recalled for a moment and then said "Oh" to indicate they understood.
Of course, in reality, none of them truly understood.
In any case, after that, a group of mercenaries prepared to leave indifferently. If this ditch couldn't be crossed, they would look for another way. They quickly put away their weapons and made the decision. As for whether the fat guy was dead or alive, no one cared about that.
Just as the main character succubus was thinking this, she heard the middle-aged vampire shout: "What are you standing around for!? Hurry up and save him!"
Naturally, not a single one of the evil mercenaries moved. It wasn't until the middle-aged vampire shouted again:
"There's money to be had! Ten gold coins for each person saved!" Only then did the evil mercenaries start to scramble. They dug with swords and knives, clawed with their hands, and used their horns to push, digging down several meters, but still didn't see anyone.
Watching a group of demons frantically dig to save the person, the main character succubus casually folded her arms and watched from the side.
Seeing her not working, the middle-aged vampire, the employer, became a bit unhappy. But the main character succubus was at least a spellcaster, a mage. A mage is a cultured person, different from these roughnecks. The middle-aged vampire thought for a moment and decided to be a bit more polite. He got off the sedan chair, walked to the main character succubus, and asked: "Mage, why aren't you helping?"
"Because it's unnecessary," the main character succubus said casually.
"Why do you say that?" The middle-aged vampire was even more puzzled.
"Is this your first time here?" the main character succubus asked.
"Ah, yes. The first time," the middle-aged vampire hesitated slightly but finally nodded, acknowledging the main character succubus's question. Then he asked:
"Then have you been here before?"
"Also the first time," the main character succubus said matter-of-factly. Just before the middle-aged vampire was about to lose his temper, she chuckled: "But the principle is the same."
"Oh," the middle-aged vampire's expression improved a bit after hearing this, and he asked: "What principle?"
"Do you really want to hear it?" the main character succubus asked.
"Yes, I really want to hear it," the middle-aged vampire nodded.
"Are you asking seriously?" the main character succubus asked again.
"Yes, I'm asking seriously," the middle-aged vampire became even more serious.
The main character succubus almost burst out laughing. She found these vampires to be incredibly adorable. The middle-aged vampire was just as serious and straightforward as the others, which was quite amusing.
"Then let's begin," the main character succubus said, pressing the switch on her sunglasses. With a "click," the two black crystal lenses fell off and were put back into her dimensional bag, turning the sunglasses into gold-rimmed glasses.
Moreover, the main character succubus now had a book in her hand. Then a whiteboard, a pointer, and a marker appeared, leaving the middle-aged vampire quite stunned.
She cleared her throat, adjusted her glasses, opened the book, and read:
"Spring has come, and all things are reviving. It's mating season again—sorry, I made a mistake."
"..." The middle-aged vampire was about to ask the main character succubus if this was for real. But then he saw her flip through the book, glance at it, and say "Hmm," before closing the book with a "snap." She then pointed with the pointer, and a simple black sketch appeared on the whiteboard.
"Look, this is the Sea of Ice. It is a sea of ice formed by the chaotic properties of the Abyss. We need to note that this is the Sea of Ice, not the Land of Ice. There is a fundamental difference. What we are stepping on looks like a flat snowfield, but it is actually a layer of ice covered by snow.
Moreover, these ice layers are not a single, continuous sheet. Due to tectonic movements, physical changes from cold and heat, and the movements of deep-sea creatures, these ice layers often crack and form fissures.
Many of these fissures can be hundreds of meters deep. Below these fissures is the lower layer of the Sea of Ice, a slowly flowing, bone-chilling sea that few have ever set foot on."
As the main character succubus explained, the simple sketches on the whiteboard kept changing, showing a flat land, a fault, water currents, and large fish.
"Oh, I see," the middle-aged vampire finally understood: "So, when he stepped into the snow, he didn't actually sink into the snow, but fell directly into the sea?"
"Possible," the main character succubus casually threw away the pointer, marker, and book, then reattached the two black crystal lenses. She replied:
"But even if not, he's probably dead. We've been talking for half an hour, and they still haven't dug him out. It's cold and airless down there, so he would either freeze to death or suffocate—by the way, do you really care about that fat guy?"
"Why should I care about him?" The middle-aged vampire shrugged:
"I just want to know what happened. But since you, Mage, have explained it so clearly, and he's dead, there's no need to trouble anyone... "
After saying this, the middle-aged vampire turned his head and gave a signal to the bloodline servant standing beside him. The bloodline servant—created by the vampire through blood transfusion rather than reproduction—ran to the front and shouted to the demons and tiefling mercenaries who were still frantically digging: "No need to dig, no need to dig! Stop, everyone!"
"Not digging? Are you messing with us?! What about the money?!" Hearing this, the demons and tieflings who were still digging looked at each other, feeling like they had been played for fools.
"The money will still be paid, the money will still be paid. Alright, alright. It's fine. Everyone, be careful when walking. Watch your step!"
Hearing that they would still be paid even though the demon wasn't saved, the other demons fell silent. Who the hell cared about the fat guy's life? Who the hell wasn't in it for the gold?
The middle-aged vampire, seeing the situation was under control, led the group forward again. This time, the pace was much slower. After all, no one wanted to be the next ten gold coins. Taking this opportunity, the middle-aged vampire continued to chat with the main character succubus: "Mage, I want to know, how did you know all this?"
"Really want to know?" the main character succubus asked.
"Really want to know," the middle-aged vampire nodded.
"Alright," the main character succubus waved her hand. The middle-aged vampire understood and eagerly moved closer. He heard the main character succubus whisper in a voice that was hard for others to hear:
"I'm smarter than the average person." (The novel "The Devil's Ultra-Justice" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, along with 100% lottery gifts for everyone!
